Chapter 41: The Gift of the Sky

Randall reached out and gently patted the prince on the back a few times.

"You know, if there is no guarantee of strength, then no matter how surging courage is, it is only a momentary act of will. It's a newcomer, but I still think... Well... In front of you, you are capable of protecting life..."

He nodded at the prince in an affirmative manner, and his eyes suddenly lit up. At the same time, all the beasts let out a low roar at the same time, and then gently echoed through the empty forest. The fallen leaves on the treetops fall one after another, like nature's last rite of burial for the weak.

Ai Suyan looked at the Ancestral Tiger, its gaze cold and determined. Ai Suyan sighed lightly: It seems that there is nothing in this world that can resolve the grievances between you and humans...

Then his earlobes moved slightly, and the moment Randal suddenly began to move.

I've heard that some elves move as fast as the wind... But that's true, only a small part...

Ai Suyan smiled slightly, the sword in his hand was lightly raised, gathering the silver streamer like snow, and then his body also began to move at the high speed that he had as a strong man.

The two swordsmen of the elves and the humans carried the power of the wind at the same time, and the blade of the sword pointed at it, and even the roaring beasts were like great enemies.

The wolves all roared and pounced, their green ghostly gazes revealing a kind of eerie horror.

However, even if they were strong, they could not easily touch the body of Ai Suyan with their blade-like minions.

The prince's body was like a silver-white whirlwind, his dexterous body rolled left and right in a large way, jumping, and dodging, and the agility accumulated from long-term cultivation in the secret room allowed him to freely dodge the attacks of the wolves while looking for opportunities to strike a sword wave to disintegrate his own crisis.

The silver light flashed from time to time, mixed with the sound of fangs and claws waving through the sky, and for a while, the gorgeous scene was churning and dancing in the forest, and even the villagers who were watching the battle couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

With a "brush", the claws of a bladed wolf passed by, and Ai Suyan broke out in a cold sweat: If it goes on like this, it will be difficult for me to ensure that I can not be harmed... He thought: It's just Randall... However, the moment he looked at the periphery, he felt a burst of joy.

I saw the resolute elf Randall, who was pretending to be thrown to the ground by the Ancestral Tiger at this moment, with blue light flashing around him, obviously a barrier built by magic, he stretched out his right hand and made a "ready" gesture to Prince Aisuyan, and then pretended to move the sharp teeth of the Ancestral Tiger with his left hand, like a tragic prey struggling on the line of life and death.

He caught the attention of the Archaeopteryx... As a helper, his abilities are truly commendable.

Ai Suyan jumped high and flipped over the top of the wolves in the air, and the wolf warriors who pounced on the air turned around angrily, only to see that after landing on the ground, the prince had already rolled over, and then appeared on the side of the Ancestral Tiger impartially.

At the same time, they trampled the ground beneath their feet in anger, and their unwilling roars could be heard even far beyond the forest, a terrifying cry that belonged only to the wolves.

However, Ai Suyan still resolutely turned the sword body in his hand, then gathered the sword qi, and slapped the back of the Ancestral Tiger's skull with all his might, and the roar of the wolves was also frozen at this moment.

The Ancestral Tiger, who was immersed in joy, did not perceive the threat from behind, but the sword momentum came in an instant, and the Ancestral Tiger, who was suddenly attacked, just snorted, stopped the attack weakly, and then lay down on the hard ground.

Then Ai Suyan raised his sword high and slashed at the neck of the Ancestral Tiger with swift and incoherent speed, his cold gaze almost like two people in the past.

All this is to save the innocent villagers... But in fact, in Ai Suyan's heart, at this moment, it is also full of a taste called "unbearable".

The sky above him was still full of haze, and under the choice of life, the prince's will was as strong as steel.

However, the edge of the sword that was about to fall was accompanied by a sudden loud noise, and calmly stagnated in mid-air.

Randal had already quietly flashed to the side, he was dressed in silver-white armor, and the sword in his right hand stretched out diagonally, blocking the blade of Essouyan's sword impartially.

Then he didn't allow Ai Suyan to react, and pulled the prince into the crowd.

The wolves did not pursue, but gathered closely around the Ancestral Tiger, their eyes anxious and misty, as if they had lost some kind of faith.

Then, in full view of everyone, several of them dragged the body of the ancestor tiger, and then without looking back, the wolves began to retreat en masse towards the forest.

Essyan looked at Randall in surprise, "Why? You want to save its life from me?"

Randall didn't say anything, just made a gesture for Essueyan to look to his right.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the open space on the right side of the crowd, and then a large group of young men wearing black leather armor and holding wooden bows and crossbows appeared in front of Ai Suyan's eyes.

The leader wore a small golden badge pinned to his chest, with a simple but beautiful pattern engraved on it, a brown leather hat, elaborate leather boots, and a sword pinned to the waist of the Holy Wing Empire. Seeing the people in front of him, he just coughed lightly a few times and began to look at the forest in front of him.

On closer inspection, his face resembles a weathered style. He reached out and touched the brim of his hat in front of his forehead, then sighed pretendedly, "It's a pity that they have returned to the forest. ”

Immediately afterward, he walked up to Ai Suyan's side and said with a solemn face, "I am the sheriff of the 'Heguang Town Patrol': Magus. On the orders of the Emperor, he patrolled here. From now on, I have only one question: What happened here?"

Sheriff? looks like he's supposed to be a good guy... Ai Suyan was about to reply, but was pulled by Randal on the side.

"Let's go, there's something I'm going to tell you. ”

Then Ai Suyan and his party hurriedly left the place of the incident in front of everyone.

"This Ancestral Tiger was originally a wanted criminal in the border towns of our Elven Kingdom, however, a year ago, the high-ranking Elven nobles revoked this order, which also caused some human dissatisfaction. ”

Away from the villagers, Randal spoke suddenly, and his voice didn't look like a joke at all.

"What do you mean?" said Ai Suyan seemed a little nervous.

"Legend has it that the Archaeopteryx, a unique species, was a gift from the ancient sky to the earth. He motioned for Essue Yan to continue listening, and this really piqued Essusyan's curiosity.

"They were born long before the world was founded. Randall's voice was calm: "However, in the first wave of life, they were by no means the luckiest existence. ”

"Some people believe that if the stars are the bright embellishment of the sky, then the former Ancestral Tiger colony is undoubtedly the most beautiful crystallization of the earth, but this also brought them to ruin. ”

"Twenty thousand years ago, greedy humans and elves began to use the tools of Chinese Ming to attack from all directions, and frantically hunt their ancestors, peeling off their beautiful furs, just for a moment of satisfaction and show-off. ”

After that, their numbers plummeted, and the population began to disperse. As they dispersed, they eventually became a sporadic rare species, but they were also the most resilient species ever. ”

"They have adapted to everything from forests to deserts, from snow-capped mountains to wastelands, and no other species has been able to thrive like them, wherever they are. ”

"In addition, there is still an ancient legend on the continent that when the conditions are ripe, the Ancestral Tiger will produce the 'ultimate evolution' and then transform into a glorious god. It's just that the chance is only 1 in 10,000. ”

"According to the statistics of elven scholars, the number of Ancestral Tigers in Denario is less than 1,000 today. ”

However, until now, there are still some humans who are obsessed with money, and the leader of the wolf pack just now is undoubtedly the representative of the victims. ”

"Before the Illir border town was wanted, this Archaeoptor Tiger once inhabited the 'Chilling Woodlands' on the border between elves and humans, and although it was snowy all year round due to magic, it regarded it as its home and never thought of abandoning it. ”

"Until one cold season, the arrival of a human who changed its fate. ”

"This is also the truth that later elven mages investigated with 'magic reduction'. It is said that by that time, the Archaeopteryx had become a mother, giving birth to four adorable tiger babies, and the family had been living in a small cave in the middle of the woodland. ”

"One day, while out foraging, he found a man lying in the snow, scarred and would have died if he had not been treated. ”

But instead of harming him, the kind-hearted Ancestral Tiger brought him back to his cave, where the human's frozen body began to warm up. ”

The next day, the family in the cave was simultaneously awakened to the howl of wolves in the snowfield. The Ancestral Tiger angrily left the cave and fought the long-watched Snowwolf alone, blood staining the white ground like an abrupt red filth. ”

It won, leaving a scar on its cheek ever since, but when it limped back to the cave, it found that its three children, as well as the human it had rescued yesterday, had disappeared completely. ”

"Its children are not yet able to leave the cave on their own. And that human being, however, did not leave any clues, but completely disappeared completely. ”

"Knowing how innocent it was, the Ancestral Tiger wept and went berserk, and for the first time in its life, it deeply realized the hatred of its ancestors for greedy humans. Filled with grief and anger, it began to attack all the former Imperial humans there. ”

Randall's tone was filled with sadness.

"That's one of the reasons why it's attacking the villagers here now, do you want to know why?"
