As Artoria shouted in a stern voice, Alding almost instinctively felt a little dazed, and his eyes floated behind him. This short distraction lasted only half a second at most, but it was enough for Lu Xi to react. He raised his left hand hard, and the staff waved on the opponent's sword spine. After another wave, the opponent's sharp sword blade that could blow hair and cut hair finally left his neck. Although the staff that had used up all the instant magic storage position was basically useless before charging, it was made of iron wood after all, and it was better than a fire stick.

Lu Xi used a move from the Iron Thorn Staff Technique that he had just started, and then a rolled over to the dying female white ghost, hugged her and the little girl, and leaped to the side with all his strength. Just as he had just finished this whole set of movements, the brilliant sword energy that emitted bright light had already roared from the back. Before he could even make a defensive move, the winged man Alding was shrouded in it by the sword energy that looked like a pillar of light. Without even screaming, he was decomposed and evaporated, and the corpse was left unstoppable.

The sword energy still did not stop after killing the Winged Man. It was not until the mountain behind it "rumbled" and then it disappeared. If it weren't for Lu Xi's quick eyes and quick hands, two female white ghosts, one big and one small, would have been affected.

"...It's a bit too much, Artoria." Lu Xi shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Artoria's voice came from a distance: "Because your body has not recovered yet, I can't control the power of the sword energy like before."

"I didn't blame you either, I just wanted to complain without responsibility." Lu Xi put the big and small white ghost in his arms, or the twisted drow elves, on the ground, walked in the direction of the sword energy, and then held the shaking Knight Princess with another hand.

Although the powerful brilliant sword energy used the power of the artifact itself, the girl still needs to rely on her own body to feel the entire process of sword energy from gathering, forming to releasing, and even bear the recoil of the last blow. If it is healthy, this is naturally nothing, but for her now seriously injured, it is definitely not a very easy burden. Just this blow, she felt that the power that she had finally gathered in her body disappeared again, and she was soft and weak, and she was lucky to have no injuries and added injuries.

Well, since we have the system guarantee, the "destiny" brother Winged Man will not suddenly be resurrected like a protagonist with a heart on the left this time. Compared with this, the upgrade of the title is not worth mentioning at all.

"Beautiful job, Artoria. This is called a teamwork that is in tune with one's heart..." Lu Xi said, holding Artoria.

Unfortunately, Artoria, who was a little knight, fell into a state of self-disappointment again, as if she had not heard Lu Xi's words at all: "I actually attacked again... What should I do? If this continues, I can never be a knight again..."

So, once a person is too full of moral integrity, he will easily get stuck in the slightest way. This is the so-called "a gentleman deceives him with a simple way".

"It doesn't matter. If you can't be a knight, don't you have a very promising job like the Queen?" Lu Xi comforted her so much.

Artoria finally couldn't help but sighed helplessly, feeling a sad feeling of "Oh, just accept your fate like this". She looked at the white ghost lying beside her mother crying loudly, um, or the little girl who was the former drow elf, but her heart was filled with indescribable complex emotions: "How are they...?"

"I guess the possibility of saving it... is not very high." He was already seriously injured. He just got hit several crossbow arrows to serve as a shield for his daughter. You know, that was an alchemy weapon specially developed to deal with the white ghost and the blue man who were afraid of flames.

Lu Xi felt very uncomfortable.

Before this, he kept saying that these white ghosts were regarded as some kind of barbarian monsters that had just entered the Stone Age, and of course they would not regard their lives too important. Even in their bones, they were just treating the other party as some humanoid monster that could make experience. In addition, they were also objects that must be excluded in the dungeon strategy of "Laxis's Mausoleum and the Temple of Heroes".

However, when he guessed the other party's origin and tragic history, he really couldn't bear it. He felt a little guilty about the way he saw Bai Gui kill him immediately without saying a word.

Lu Xi helped Artoria walk to the white ghost woman, and then couldn't help but sigh with a hint of surprise. Even though there were several arrows on her body, even if the wounds on her hands and feet were still bleeding, the female white ghost was still alive. She looked at Lu Xi with a very complicated expression, and then looked at the little girl beside her. Her eyes gradually became gentle, full of maternal glory that could not be looked directly into.

Sure enough, no matter in any era, world, or race, the greatest and most undeniable thing to offend is mother.

It seemed as if she felt Lu Xi and Artoria walking in, the little white ghost girl jumped up, spreading her weak arms to block her dying mother. She shivered in front of the two of them, and had no intention of giving in. Her little face was full of fear, but she was extremely firm. After all, until this time, even Lu Xi herself couldn't explain clearly whether it was the enemy or friend, let alone that little girl.

The two couldn't help but stop, but the little girl suddenly thought of something again, and suddenly fell to her knees, looked at the mother behind her, pointed to Lu Xi's waist, and said in an anxious tone: "Pharm...Pharm...Please!"

"Sorry..." Lu Xi looked at the little girl, then looked at the woman, and slowly said in elf words: "I can't save you."

As soon as these words came out, the little girl couldn't help but be stunned. After a few seconds, she seemed to realize the true meaning of Lu Xi's words, and tears suddenly fell down like beads with broken threads.

"I know." The woman stretched out her hand, carefully stroked her daughter's hair, and looked at her swollen eyes, her small nose and lips as if she couldn't see enough: "As a descendant of the golden bloodline, she has now become like a person who is neither human nor ghost. Living is a torment, and perhaps only when she dies will she be like an elf."

"No matter what, I'm sorry..." Artoria lowered her head and said in a very sincere tone.

"Oh, why do you want to apologize?" Bai Gui looked at the Knight Princess and said in a sarcastic tone: "The... in your hand is the sword of victory, right? That should be the future Queen Nord. Our clan is also considered a Nord's enemy. Apologizing to the enemy is not like the style of your Nords."

"Even if it is a feud, you can defeat and destroy the other party upright on the battlefield. But if a nation suffers such imprisonment and pain from generation to generation, it is beyond the scope of hatred." Artoria sighed slightly: "I am a member of the Royal Family of Yanor. I had no position to speak out about the contract of ancestor Laxis...but I still feel that it has passed a little."

"In that era, this was very normal." The white ghost, or the former dark elf, looked at the sincerity of the Knight Princess, and his tone gradually eased a little: "The Zoer in our clan is actually the Everhart family, the most famous Zoer family in the dungeon back then, and was also an existence called the "Abandoner" by the Dawn League at that time."

"So that's it... Is Everhart? Then I probably understand why the Great Sage made such a choice back then." Lu Xi sighed.

"What does this family mean?" asked Artoria.

"The city-state of the dungeon elves broke out in a very fierce civil war, which continued to perish from famous families with a long history, and new families also rose. The Everhart family was the great prince who was most likely to unify the entire family." Lu Xi stroked the hilt of the Dawn Knight's sword at his waist and said slowly: "In the early stage of the outbreak of the Battle of Qiming, as the civil war entered the most critical stage, the Dark Elf did not send troops to participate in the alliance. The Drow Elf believed in the goddess Leto of the Night. Although this goddess was not among the twelve Holy Spirits, she remained neutral in the Battle of the Gods, but in general, she was considered a good god. In the view of the Dawn Knight Paine, all the allies that could unite can become an important force to resist the Six Demon Gods, and the Drow Elf is naturally no exception."

"Then what?"

"Then? Then Paine came to the dungeon states with a small number of guards alone, and went to persuade the dark elves princes at that time. His sincerity and fearlessness convinced most of the dark elves city-states, and in the end, only the Iverhart family was left. The contemporary clan leader, the Black Spider Erida, invited Paine to the banquet. Many people advised Paine to be careful, but he himself believed that since he wanted to give up his vested interests, he had to show his greatest sincerity... But the result was the most regrettable scene in the entire Qiming War."

"Bloody Night..." Even if Artoria is not very good at history, it is impossible for her to have never heard of this legend.

Of course, this story is not just a legend for Lu Xi. The only survivor in "Blood Night" back then was also the widow of Dawn Knight Parn, the current highest priest of Nolda.

After eating the salt and bread provided by the other party, Parn put down his guard. However, he never expected that his kindness would be exchanged for the other party's murderous intent, poisonous elf spirit liquor, poisonous elf dagger, and ambush of demons and orcs. The guards trained by the Dawn Knight died one by one under the sword of the sneak attacker. Even the Heart of the Holy Spring could not resist such injuries and poison. When he led his lover out of the siege with his improper bravery, he eventually passed away in his lover's arms.

In the ancient covenant in this world, the power of the guests must be guaranteed. If you eat the bread and salt provided by the host, it means you are a guest. Even if both parties are enemies of life and death, at least the safety of the other party must be guaranteed on the table. If the banquet is over, life and death must be decided, that is another matter.

Even the demon gods have never violated this ancient custom.

However, the Everhart family's Drow elves made it, and from then on brought the entire family into a desperate situation. The subsequent development was not as expected by the manipulators behind the incident. The Dawn Alliance fell apart after the leader passed away. The Dawn Knight, who was pure and noble, was a good friend of a hundred times more wise than the heart. The founding emperor of the Holy Spring Dynasty, Kenous, soon inherited the heart and will of his friend, and turned into a cold-blooded Avenger, bringing the Qiming War into the counterattack stage.

However, all this has nothing to do with Tidrit. She returned to her hometown of Norda with her lover's body, lived in seclusion all year round, and she cried all day long. According to the wood elves, before Lu Xi came to the Norda Forest, no one could see a smile on the face of the high priest, including her own sister Nivea...

"Erida has actually converted to the bloodthirsty king Pakens, because the so-called God of War can give her more power than the Goddess of the Night, especially the power in war. However, the one who really prompted Erida to do such anger at the banquet was because she was bewitched by the King of Nightmare Bellatmeya." The female white ghost's words quickly brought Lu Xi out of her memories: "But if you do such a thing, you will naturally be punished. Erida fled to the Yarial Plateau with the remaining soldiers of the family and lived in seclusion at the foot of the mountain. This place was a rare border land at that time. It was originally a place for cultivation and rest, but she made a mistake again... trying to seize the secret treasure sealed by the soul of the God of War on the Great Sage of Laxis."

Artoria's face was pale and speechless, while Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh: "So, are you called the oath-broker? So, will the gods punish you with such cruel means at the beginning?"

"The great sage asks the divine power of the goddess Udon, the goddess of judgment, to turn into a contract for guardians that bind us. Our range of activities is limited to the appearance of the siege, shortened lifespan, decreased fertility, and the intelligence of men is blocked. At the same time, a baby girl can be born among hundreds of babies..." The female white ghost showed a melancholy smile: "All this is to make our population and strength. Because what the contract requires is only a group of slaves who can guard the magic circles and artifacts of the underground palace, rather than a new race, a new force."

"But even so, you are still harassing the northern border of the empire every year," Artoria couldn't help but shout.

"Because, many people think that this day is enough. The contract only limits the scope of our activities, limits our need to protect magic circles and artifacts, but does not restrict us from taking the initiative. So some tribe members simply attacked the Nords' villages, in order to vent their resentment and to plunder necessities of life. You have also seen the life in the cave... Of course, in a sense, it should be a suicide-like self-abandonment, right?" The female white ghost showed a tragic smile: "Of course, there should be very few tribe members who have such ideas after the Overlord built the Jingguan."

Artoria was speechless again. She suddenly felt that the magnificent building used by the overlord to show off her martial arts suddenly seemed extremely ugly.

"In our clan, there were about 50,000 people at its peak, and a large number of hill kings and great sages who reasonably made hook-mounted puppets, and used the principle of Laxis forbidden spells to protect magic circles and artifacts. However, since the battle with the Overlord, too many tribe members, mainly women, died in battle, and many garrison voids appeared around the underground palace of the tribe's destruction."

"In addition to the possible leadership party, the defensive measures set by the Great Sage back then may have been full of loopholes." Lu Xi nodded. In this way, all the puzzles were solved.

"Young man, you just said that you are also the successor of Laxis, right?" The female white ghost looked at Lu Xi's eyes, and his tone seemed slower and slower, and he should be gradually reaching his limit.

"If you have any wishes, I will try my best to help you, provided that as long as it does not violate my principles and is not too troublesome."

"Don't worry, it won't be too troublesome." The female white ghost's mouth curled up slightly: "Continue to move forward to the cave east. In a maximum of two or three days, you will find another town of tribe, which is a new village established by my sister Heli. Please send my daughter over... and then warn them that the invaders are coming! It's the last time we fulfill our contract!"

"This..." Isn't this troublesome?

"Okay, if you are willing to trust me." Lu Xi looked at the little girl who was crying and nodded with a very serious attitude.

"Thank you very much." The female white ghost finally smiled, but found a black ring from somewhere: "When you meet Hurley, give this to her. She will tell you the way out... Similarly, she will tell you where the artifact is. Young magician, if you are really the successor of Laxis, you might as well try it out, get the recognition of the World Tree Scepter, and... liberate us! Let us die in the posture of an elf!"
