"Are there other sacred magical creatures that survived, that were also saved by mysterious humans," Rose Knight asked.
Millipede Ringo Fir shrugged: "Who knows, since we are still alive, there may be more unlucky people alive, including those arrogant big elves,"
"So you never know who the person you are waiting for is, whether he is a human or an elf, whether his skin is black or white, what characteristics he has, whether he is a telemancer or a warrior, whether he comes from the east or the west, whether he is an old man or a young man. , you actually know nothing," the knight said.
"Now, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who it is," said the Thorn Elf. "Five hundred years ago, there might have been some energy to talk about this topic."
"But you have certain methods of identification to ensure that the man arrived as promised a thousand years ago,"
"Of course,"
At this time, Jonah suddenly said: "Why me, Miss Fir,"
"Well," the elf raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I don't have the energy to talk to you about any philosophical topics. The sloth Yunsong who was proficient in the history of world philosophy died forty-eight years ago, otherwise she would be like you idiots We might be able to chat,"
"No, don't run away from the problem," the astrologer took a step closer and stared into the elf's eyes: "When I used the 'Zero Kai' star array to attack Ye Kong, you opened the barrier from the inside. You said that the Thorn Elf came from I don’t welcome uninvited guests, and the barrier was not opened even when my compatriots were brutally killed. There is only one explanation: you think I am the person you are waiting for, don’t you?”
The Thorn Elf hummed: "Well, right, so what, I said I'll leave everything here to you. The gold coins, weapons, and jewelry are all dug out from the underground storage room. If you don't feel old, Feel free to take it,"
"We exchanged honey for that, Miss Fir," Elliot interrupted at the right time. "As sacred magical creatures, we must abide by the principle of equal exchange,"
Malu Firth lazily said: "Okay, I'll just say it. The man in the hood didn't elaborate at all at that time. Even if he did, I can't remember it clearly after so many years, but he did leave something behind. "She pointed in the air, pointing to the place hanging in the center of the barrier that emitted warm light, "At first we thought it was just a part of the barrier, a magic circle that provided lighting, but it exists independently, not so much as a magic circle. An artificial sun, more like a candle lit at night. Whenever someone comes to Ringolpant, the thing will change, using the shape, color and intensity of light to show the characteristics of the visitor. I don’t know what the man who has been waiting for a thousand years looks like, but I know that when he comes here, there will be unusual signs.”
She looked back at her companions. The elves were sitting around in twos and threes, sharing the fresh honey brought by humans from the Eastern Continent. The honey exuded the sweet taste of rapeseed flowers in early spring in March. Every thorn elf had a smile on his face. Full of tranquility and contentment, "Just now, a sign appeared. Now, once you know that a thousand years of waiting has finally come to fruition, it really makes people lose their motivation." Firson sighed and said lazily, "If you are that person, take that sun away. It is what the man in the hood left for you, Segres the Betrayer. No matter how many times you pronounce this name, you will always be so confused."
The young man stared blankly at the light in the center of the barrier. He didn't understand the principle of that thing's light. What lingered in the center of the light was both the power of the stars that he was familiar with and the power of magic he was unfamiliar with. The magic circle that could continue to operate for a thousand years was In the realm of God, which he could not even imagine, even the space-time star array established by the first mentor in Ecbatana, the country of volcanoes, only ran for a few hundred years before it was on the verge of collapse. With his power, he could really Can you touch that distant glory?
"That should be harmless, Lord Jonah," the Rose Knight smiled, "When you are ready, we will send you up."
"I know, Eli," Jonah quietly clenched his fists.
The unicorn's horn lit up with neon luster, but the vines did not appear for a long time. A look of confusion passed over the knight's face, "Hey, I forgot to mention, this is a restricted area for magic," the fir tree said in hindsight. He waved his hands and said.
"There's no need to go to all this trouble, I'll just throw you up," Danny Stewart shouted, rolled up his sleeves twice and walked over, grabbing Jonah's belt with both hands, "Okay, swoosh Just fly up, be careful not to fly over." He paused and whispered: "It's not a bad thing to fall down, just don't fall to death, as punishment for seducing my sister..."
Before Jonah could react, a brute force was transmitted to his body through the belt, and his body rose up like a cloud. According to common sense, gravity would immediately pull him back to the ground. However, the law of gravity had failed, and the astrologer's body was constantly moving. It becomes lighter, rising slowly like clouds, getting closer and closer to the shining place. It is obviously a dazzling light, but you can look directly at it without feeling any pain in your eyes. The sky and the earth are spinning, and the friends of the pitchfork become wandering. At uncertain coordinates, the young man stretched out his right hand to explore the center of the barrier. He felt the warm light melting him into a translucent substance. His body and mind were so free that even the weight of his soul no longer existed.
"Ta," his fingers touched the smooth surface, and Jonah held an object in his palm.
The world is dark.
Invisible giant hands grabbed the young man's hands and feet. It was the everlasting gravity. Screams rang out from all directions, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came. Jonah felt like the world was spinning, and he kept falling in the darkness. Suddenly, he fell into a pile of water. Thick and soft things, he groaned, raised his left hand staff and activated the star array. The star array, which had been ineffective since entering the barrier, immediately started to operate, and the energy of the 130-77 star line turned into light and filled the room.
"Huh," Jonah was shocked.
The vines growing from the ground lifted him into the air. "Yes, the barrier has lost its effect, Lord Yona." Following the words of the Rose Knight, the dark green vines gradually retracted to the surface, and Yona jumped onto his feet. Standing firmly on the ground, the sphere has lost its magic power, and the direction of gravity has been restored. The place where I came in has become the ceiling, and the impact sound just now was the sound of the elves sitting on the "wall" falling to the ground. Those small saplings It was rapidly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the yellow leaves fell one after another. The millipede fir looked expressionlessly at the two hundred and forty-three leaves that had grown over a thousand years and suddenly covered the ground.
Hannah Stewart pulled out a big gun from behind, and lightly scratched the wall with the blade from the muzzle. The blade of the gun that originally belonged to the enchanted dagger "Blood Storm" left deep marks on the wall. "It turned into an ordinary one." It’s like a brick wall,” Hannah said, knocking twice with her fist.
The astrologer slowly relaxed his fingers, and there was a purple ball in the palm of his hand. The surface was glossy and smooth, reflecting the boy's deformed shadow. "I'm sorry, Miss Fir... but what is this," he asked.
"It has nothing to do with us anymore," the Thorn Elf waved her hand. At her feet, the honey jar fell into pieces, and the golden liquid slowly flowed away. The residents of Ringolpant surrounded her, and no one made a sound. , "You can leave. The agreement between the thorn elves and the traitor Segres has been completed. From today on, we are free. Let's go, leave our village, and go as far as possible," the acting speaker said calmly. There is a strange vibrato in it.
Elliot bowed his head and said: "We also carry equipment, supplies, medicines and other ingredients. If there is any place that can help you..."
"Let's go," after saying this, Millipede Fir slowly sat down next to the flowing honey. Her back told people that there was nothing left to say, and the Pitchfork friends turned to face Looking at it, the knight holding the little grasshopper in his arms nodded solemnly.
"But..." Jonah looked down at the thing in his palm, then looked up at the elves: "Now that you are free, where are you going? It's freezing and snowy outside, why don't we go on the road together after the sun comes out tomorrow? We're going Go to the location of the Emerald Tree, and you might be able to find clues to the Supreme Council of Elemental Elves..."
Firth did not look back: "Well, this is the last parliamentary vote, but before the result comes out, I know everyone's choice. We will not go anywhere. We will hide in this shell for a whole thousand years. If we When the snail's shell is peeled off, what's left?"
"But, but..." the young man said: "If I take away this thing, the barrier will lose its effect. You will have no protection, no lighting and no source of heat. Are you going to live in a dark and cold place like this? ,"
"Hey, idiot," said Fengshan, "do you think we still have luxuries called 'dignity', 'freedom', 'dream', and 'motivation'? Let's go, let's forget what happened today." , the Thorn Elves perished as early as the Second Ancient War, so it would be better for everyone,"
"But doesn't this go against the original choice? The choice of forty-two people to live in Ringolpant is to continue the fire of civilization of the race, right?" Jonah couldn't help but look a little excited, but no matter what he did Ask questions, and the elves no longer answer, like a row of silent statues standing on the edge of glory.
Elliot said: "Last question, Miss Fir, we saw six corpses, but you said there were seven companions who went to the storage room. Where did the missing thorn elf go?"
"Those humans, they got what they wanted. Now, the betrayer mentioned that there would be such a situation, but I can't remember clearly... Then, goodbye, idiots," the words disappeared, and the elves rushed towards them at the same time. There is honey on the ground, stretching out a long tongue to lick the golden honey.
The knight bent down and gently tapped the astrologer who was standing there on the shoulder: "Let's go, they are not wrong, beauty or ugliness does not matter, this is reality,"
