"My king...will eventually achieve...the final...victory..."

Although he was an enemy, Ariel had to admit that this elf looked like a naughty boy, but he was indeed a respectable enemy.

Ariel sighed and said: "It's a pity that I can't fulfill your last wish, but I promise you that when I face the devil in the future, I will definitely convey your loyalty and bravery to him."

Jester's eyelids began to become weak, and his eyes gradually became dull.

But even under such circumstances, he still showed a sarcastic sneer at Ariel, stretched out his fingers as if he was using all his strength, and slowly and gently touched Ariel's neck.

go.

Ariel did not move, but even so, the elf's hand could no longer be raised when it was raised halfway and fell down. However, the sneer at the corner of his mouth still existed, perhaps until his death.

He can't even eliminate his contempt for human beings.

"Although you are my enemy, even though I was dragged into this illusion by Little Spirits, I will still remember you forever, Mr. Jester. I wish you will no longer be so persistent in another world and be able to enjoy it."

Eternal peace."

With high respect, Ariel recited the prayer silently. It was at this time that the collapsing black hole behind her became larger and was about to swallow her body.

But at this moment, Jester suddenly opened his eyes after hearing her prayer!

At that moment, his bloodshot eyes stared closely at Ariel, and the corners of his mouth that were originally full of sarcasm were now parted and gnashing his teeth!

At the last countdown of his life, he suddenly understood something and understood everything in front of him! At that moment, he didn't know where the strength came from, and the threads in his fingertips began to slowly stretch out, trying to reach towards the human woman in front of him.

Stab his heart! But his strength at this moment is too small, so small that he can't even take another breath!

"Gu..."

Ariel nodded gently, her eyes showing tenderness and apology. She slowly flattened the elf's body so that he could lie on the ground, even though now his eyes were full of anger and hatred when he looked at her.

, even mixed with endless regrets, but it is all coming to an end, everything is over...

Yes, everything is over.

The elf lying on the ground could not breathe up after all.

Can the figure of Ariel Garcia still be reflected in the eyes that are always wide open?

However, the collapsing black hole slowly enveloped his figure, sank into it, and disappeared before his eyes.

And after Ariel exhaled a little, the collapsing darkness behind her also captured her in an instant, leading her will back to where she should go.

When Ariel opened her eyes again, the strange forest was no longer in front of her, nor was there any trace of the fierce battle.

She saw the familiar ceiling, her room, and felt that she was lying on a soft bed.

Those memories that were supposed to disappear also came back, reminding her that she was indeed sleeping on this bed before she fell into that illusion.

But now, a strong smell of medicine invaded her nasal cavity, forcing her to stand up and look around.

The lights in the room were bright, but there was no one there.

There is a huge alchemical cauldron placed in the corner, and the pungent smell must have come from there.

At this moment, Ariel didn't want to call anyone directly.

She hasn't sorted out her emotions yet.

Is it all a dream?

maybe.

But everything was so real, it didn't seem like a dream.

The look in Jester's eyes before his death is still deeply imprinted in Ariel's mind. Although Jester tried his best to protect himself in the illusion, he still died in the end. This made Ariel feel sad.

There is still no way to adjust it.

After getting out of bed, she walked to the dressing table nearby and looked at herself in the mirror.

Compared with the hair that was only as long as a knuckle before going to bed, it is now gradually reaching the length of the ears.

All this told Ariel that it was not a dream.

At the moment, she picked up a comb and gently combed her hair, sorting out the hair that was a little sticky because she had slept for too long.

"well……"

A sigh finally came out of Ariel Garcia's mouth.

After sorting out her mood, she could only put down her comb, turned around and walked to the closet. After simply choosing a decent shawl and changing it, she coughed lightly and called out to the guards outside.

…

As for the other side, in the Demon King's army camp which is not too far away, some people have already woken up.

Under the starry night sky, Little Spirits stood up silently, came to the table, and poured a glass of wine he brewed into the cup in front of him.

He raised his glass and shook it slightly. His mood at this time was very complicated, a little excited, and a little regretful. Mixed with a little pride and satisfaction, there was also some reflection and regret.

He pointed the wine glass in his hand at the bright moon outside the window, looking at the moon through the blood-red liquid, it seemed that the moonlight had also turned into a bright red color.

I just don’t know when the news of Jester’s death will come here?

However, this does not seem to be important to Xiao Lijiu now. Because he already knows the result, it seems that it is no longer important as to the process.

The only question now is, does your respected Majesty the Elf King know what he has done? And whether... will he express his acquiescence to it after knowing what he has done?

Was the feather he gave to Ariel Garcia really used to communicate between the two parties?

Yes and no.

It was just a medium, a magic prop used to connect him and Ariel for a short time.

At this critical point in time when the future of the entire Elf Army should be based on "free will" or "complete domination", despite his extreme reluctance, Little Spirits cannot allow himself to advocate "free will"

"Jester continued to promote it in a high-profile manner among the elven army.

Moreover, the idea of ​​free will is obviously more favorable to those who convert. Recently, more and more converts support free will. After all, the complete control they advocate is tantamount to depriving them of free will. Those who were once

The human convert would of course prefer to stay with the elf.

However, what the Elf Army is facing now is a war.

A war will not favor one side just because it has more supporters. What determines the outcome of a war will always be the correct choice, not the choice with the largest number of people.

Therefore, in order to be able to compete with humans...especially the mermaid army in the future, Little Spirits must ensure that the Elf King can no longer be so kind and must make up his mind.

Then, getting rid of Jester with the help of others is already a method that must be followed.

That saint created her own holy place in Diliao Province.

Whenever it reaches a moonlit night, the light power emanating from that holy place will intentionally or unintentionally lure nearby transformers to enter. But once those transformers enter, they never come out again.

The worst thing is that those transformers who can be attracted in are often beings with high self-will. On the contrary, those transformers who are purely used as combat power will not be greatly affected.

Of course, Little Spirits couldn't let such a threat go unchecked. It could be said that the influence caused by this saint was precisely one of the reasons why he firmly hoped that the entire elf army would be affected by the will of the ruler.

On several occasions, he could also feel the powerful attraction coming from the holy land. That kind of power would lure him into a drowsy state, and then he would enter a magical space in an inexplicable drowsy state.

If Xiao Lijiu hadn't been on guard and sealed off his will, maybe he would have entered that inexplicable holy land like those transformers.

It is indeed an urgent decision to deal with that Holy Land and that Holy Girl. But now, Little Liejiu knows that the most stressful thing is not such an enemy, but the internal problems of the entire Elf Army.

It was at that time that Xiao Lijiu had already made up his mind to bring Jester in. If there was still no way to convince him, then he would make a complete decision.

Unfortunately, the elf still could not reach an agreement with him after all. He even imprisoned his brother when he went to persuade him.

Little Spirits didn't know whether he was excited or anxious during that period of time. After all, the elf took the lead and was able to counterattack without any scruples.

It was precisely for this reason that Xiao Lijiu took the initiative to invite the elf to Diliao Province, nominally to negotiate, but privately, both sides probably knew that this was already a decisive battle.

However, that elf probably never thought that the place for the decisive battle was not in the real space of reality, but in the holy domain of the saint.

In order to be fully prepared, Little Spirits took the initiative to host part of his power on Tails, and then went to meet Ariel Garcia in the name of negotiation.

He cannot give this power to others, after all, other people's combat effectiveness is really an uncontrollable factor. But if it is Ariel who has no combat ability at all, but can make accurate judgments at critical moments, then this...

The battle can be completely in your own hands.

Now that I think about it, the human assassin named Ji Lian is indeed a sharp guy.

I don’t know where he found out about his plan... Or maybe he didn’t find out about it, but guessed it based on various signs?

If he told Ariel everything in advance, things would be bad. Therefore, Little Spirits had to make some defenses for this.

A small contagious curse can solve this problem.

First, capture a human spy and tell him about it. After that, let him go.

Then, as long as he spreads this matter, the humans who hear it will be infected with this curse. The people who were originally cursed will fall into a long lethargy after a period of buffering period. The infection will continue like this.

, it will definitely reach the ears of the assassin leader immediately. In this way, as long as he falls into a coma, no one will disturb his plan.

Xiao Lijiu exhaled slowly, drank the wine in the glass, and then poured himself another glass.

While shaking the wine glass in his hand, his eyes looked out the window, looking at the extremely bright starry sky outside.

Ariel should have realized it now, right?

She should have thought that it was the feather he gave her that pulled her into that illusion.
To be continued...
