Dust of History Chapter 56: Just a union of 2 people


In the deepest part of the Whispering Forest, in the central conference hall of the elves' residence, several huge and strange fireflies emitted a milky white light, illuminating the space in the middle of this huge ancient tree hole. This protracted meeting started in the afternoon and continued until this time.

During the meeting just now, there were explosions and crashing sounds. After scouts were sent out to investigate, they found that a magic explosion outside the barrier and an evil stone puppet rushed into the barrier, and was dissipated by the barrier. The mana became a pile of ordinary stones again.

The result of the reconnaissance also made the conclusion of the meeting stronger.

Elder Crane stood up and made a decision: &;The accident just now further affirmed that the effect of the great Sunwell enchantment is still irresistible, no matter what kind of magic power is ineffective in the Forest of Whispers. Although the deterrent effect of the enchantment on humans has been greatly reduced, after clearing out the people who entered the forest many times, they should also be afraid. So we just keep the status quo. &;

"The status quo? Then we have been discussing for so long, but there is no result?" The elf girl Luya got up, looking a little excited. &; I reiterate my suggestion again: In the current situation, we should communicate with human beings and solve problems together. Humans can't feel the evil aura emanating from the stone statues outside the forest, but it is clearly put there by dark forces peeping into the leaves of the World Tree, and many ignorant humans still worship them. We have to take action, and it is best to use the power of human beings to explain clearly to them...&;

"That's enough, we have already rejected all of these." Another elf elder interrupted her coldly. &; That kind of stupid and vulgar creature even has its beliefs controlled by others. Do we need to explain anything to them? And we don't need the help of vulgar humans. No creature can stand up to the Witherbark Guardian in direct melee combat, let alone with the help of us and the unicorns. We have been using this guarding method for tens of thousands of years, no matter what kind of enemy we can deal with. &;

Luya anxiously looked around at the elders, her silver hair fluttering. "But the situation is different now. Because of the lack of two leaves of the world tree, the deterrent effect of the sun well on human beings is almost non-existent. It will be a matter of time before they invade our forest."

"In order to prevent this, all the deadwood guards are concentrated next to the Sunwell, absolutely no one can steal the leaves of the world tree."

Luya sighed, glanced at all the elf elders present, and said in a helpless voice: "Why do we have to wait here and wait for the problem to happen instead of taking the initiative to solve the problem?" and other elves Compared with the frosty expression and tone, she seemed to be the only living creature in this ancient tree hall. This strong emotion is even more alive on her beautiful face, even if it is anxious and helpless. "Even if we don't need to deal with humans, we can temporarily expand the range of activities of the deadwood guards and let them go out of the forest to destroy those evil stone statues."

Elder Crane flatly vetoed: "This is absolutely not allowed. You must know the rules of the clan. Whether it is us, unicorns or deadwood guards, we must never leave the Forest of Whispers without authorization. You Leaving it last time is already a special case among special cases, and it must not be committed again easily."

"Rules." Luya's tone and face became as cold as other elves, but this was her own expression rather than the common face of other elves. "I still clearly remember that the human with the leaf of the world tree was seriously injured when he escaped last time. It turned out that our rules helped him a lot, allowing him to escape slowly under our noses .It was our rules that made us lose the leaf of the world tree.”

No one answered this time, and all the other elves kept their cold and indifferent faces. It took a while for Elder Kelan to say word for word coldly: "The rules are the rules. Those are the rules laid down for us by Mafa, the **** of all things."

"Rules are meaningless if they become constraints." Luya looked around at the compatriots around her, her helpless eyes flashed with desolate beauty. "I left the Forest of Whispers this time and went outside to see it, and then I realized that we are too rigid and conservative. We always think too highly of ourselves and disdain to be with other races. As a result, humans only see us as a small group of weird races And ignore our voices, even those inferior orcs, just because they have established a powerful country, human beings have to change their previous attitudes to recognize their status and establish contacts with them. We must and Tu The companions of the Laleon Forest unite to let our race occupy a place in the distribution of power on this continent. Otherwise, what awaits us can only be...."

"Please pay attention to your words and deeds, Luya." Elder Kelan looked at her coldly. "You see, this is the meaning of the rule that stipulates that we are not allowed to go out of the forest of whispers. Under the temptation of the outside world, your mind is already on the verge of danger. The great Marfa said that the pursuit of strength and progress is the beginning The prelude to fall and destruction."

"I'm not denying the teachings of the great Marfa, it's just that under the current circumstances..."

"I announce the end of the meeting." Elder Kelan interrupted Luya's speech lightly but very thoroughly.

The elf elders stood up together and filed out of the conference hall. Luya and Elder Kelan walked last.

"Do you know how many countries and races of mankind have been destroyed in the past tens of thousands of years?" Elder Kelan's tone did not seem so cold when there were only two of them. "It's all caused by the pursuit of power and the pursuit of progress. The development of the pursuit of power will inevitably lead to loss of self-control, and the pursuit of progress will lead to mutual struggle. In this way, the two continue to develop alternately, and the final result must be destruction. Our closed and Conservation is the basis for our family to live peacefully here for tens of thousands of years, and it is an unalterable part of our civilization.”

"But things are different now..."

"No matter what's different outside, we just need to do what we should do." Elder Kelan patted Luya's shoulder and said softly. "Go back and stop thinking about it."

Luya silently walked back to her ancient tree. Walking into the tree house on the top of the tree seems to be an extension of this stuffy feeling, and even the house is filled with an unpleasant smell.

Sitting on the bed woven by the vines growing intertwined by themselves, she felt very stuffy. She was just about to get up and go out to get some air, when a dangerous feeling suddenly came to her heart. This was not an illusion caused by her mood, but that there was indeed a burning smell mixed with another smell in the room, which was the smell of human beings.

She rushed to the door with a flick, but the smell immediately rushed forward and knocked her to the ground. One hand covered her mouth and nose, and the other clasped her slender hands together, pressing her body against hers.

Luya struggled desperately for a few times, but it was useless, as if she was nailed to the ground, she could not move at all.

"Don't move, don't make a sound. I'm here to discuss something very important with you." The tone of this person seems to be more anxious than Luya. "You must not make a sound. If I call other people, I will have to run. It is not good for everyone. What I want to say is related to your own safety. It is about the statues outside. You understand Got it? I understand and nodded."

Luya nodded. The hand that covered her mouth loosened, seeing that she really didn't yell, then slowly let her go.

"How dare you come here?" Luya stood up and took a step back full of hostility. She had already heard who this person was from the voice. But I don't know why this person has a burnt smell.

"Listen, I have something very important to tell you. The Necromancer Guild, which you call the servants of darkness, will attack the Forest of Whispers at noon tomorrow. Those statues outside the forest are where they are going to prepare against you."

"Please explain the matter clearly." Although the criminal who all the elves dreamed of catching was right in front of him, what he said carried more weight. Luya waved her hand, and a magic firefly for lighting flew out of her palm, illuminating the tree house with a small light. Only then did she see the man in front of her with a disfigured face, all of her clothes were burned to tatters, not even her hair was spared.

Fortunately relying on the fluctuation of the Sunwell on the edge of the Whispering Forest, Asa was able to use a fireball to stop the thunderbolt from the necromancer. But the shock and flames produced by the explosion also caused him serious injuries, and he fell into the depths of the forest from mid-air, which also made him dizzy. Fortunately, the forest was filled with fluctuations from the Sunwell, and the healing technique with greatly increased effect immediately restored him.

The deadwood guards that were ubiquitous in the Forest of Whispers did not appear. It seems that something happened here. Asa thought about it and walked towards the residence of the elves.

At the beginning, he just planned to solve this heresy, but he didn't expect that such a big conspiracy of the Necromancer Guild was hidden behind it. Apart from being horrified, he now felt powerless.

Although he is an imperial envoy now, and although he holds thousands of troops in his hands, the situation has developed to this point, and it is true that as the necromancer said, he has no power to recover. At noon tomorrow, at least five thousand devout believers will become food for those gargoyles. Then those gargoyles will attack here, kill all the elves, and take the leaves of the world tree.

At the beginning, he even thought about going out and revealing his identity to the two necromancers, telling them that he was the candidate member Vidnina invited to join. But he immediately felt from the conversation between the two necromancers that Vidnina seemed to be very independent in the Necromancer Guild. Although she once said, "I invite you on behalf of the Necromancer Guild", maybe other people did not. If he doesn't agree with her right to represent, then he's just looking for death if he goes out like this.

More importantly, even if he went out and successfully joined this organization and became the comrades of the two necromancers, he would definitely not be able to persuade them to stop this plan. This is a joint plan of all members except Vidnina, and it will never be stopped because of the kindness of a newcomer who is not even as good as shit.

If there is only hope, it can only come to the Forest of Whispers to try the luck of the elves and see if they can join forces. After all, it was they who the necromancers had to deal with.

But the elves are lonely and stubborn. He has experienced it for a long time. For him, a criminal who broke his promise and stole the leaves of the world tree and escaped, most of them will not believe any of his words. What will entertain him will only be overwhelming arrows rain. Now that he no longer had the robe of the ghost king on his body, he would never dare to risk turning into a hedgehog to walk into the elf residence openly. After thinking twice, he quietly touched Luya. In his impression of all elves, only she seemed to be able to communicate.

After listening to Asa's narration, Luya thought for a while, and said coldly: "Why should I believe you? Believe in a despicable human being who violated his oath? How do I know that you are not sent by the servant of darkness?" Exercising your conspiracies and tricks? The deterrent power of the forest to humans has declined because you took away the leaves of the world tree, and now we have to gather the deadwood guards at the sunwell."

Asaic is blocked. This expected question made him really unable to answer. After a pause, he sighed helplessly, looked at Luya heavily but said calmly: "That's all I can say. Believe it or not is up to you."

Luya didn't speak, and looked at him. Under the twilight of the magic fireflies, a pair of eyes carved out of the most precious gemstones by the most skillful artist confronted silently with another pair of eyes that were completely bloodshot and surrounded by dust and scorching marks.

After a while, Luya finally spoke and said in a low voice: "Even the legendary dragons can't compete with the sacred power of the Sunwell. In the Forest of Whispers, any external magic power will be invalid, no matter what evil they use Art, those evil puppets can never enter here. We don't need to worry at all."

"I don't know if they can enter the forest. I only know that those necromancers are definitely smarter than me, and smarter than you. They will never just put those gargoyles just to scare you." Asa Patiently explain the solution to Luya. "Actually, it is very simple for you to solve this problem, as long as you appear in front of those believers, tell them what is going on in this forest, show them the deadwood guards, and let them understand that the gods of nature are all lies Just a series of articles."

"Do you think we will stand up and explain to those stupid humans, and then show them the deadwood guards like exhibition goods?"

"If you don't bother to explain, then you can just command the deadwood guards to kill those gargoyles. They have been outside your forest for several months. Why do you all just wait for the problem to happen and not take the initiative to solve it? What's the problem?" Asa was very anxious.

"Whether it's us, the unicorns or the deadwood guards, we must never leave the Forest of Whispers without permission. This is the rule set by the great Mafa for us." Luya felt a strange feeling, these She said the words to the elders herself in the meeting just now, but now she has to copy what the elders said to refuse. This unprecedented strange feeling unconsciously turned into an unprecedented expression on her face.

The answer was extremely annoying, but Asa was stunned by the expression of the elf girl in front of him, and he couldn't vent his anger. Under the faint light, although the smile had a bit of bitter taste, it was enough to make anyone stop thinking.

Asa didn't say anything more. After being silent for a while, he said slowly: "I will lead the army to destroy those stone statues before noon tomorrow. Are you here to help, or are you here in these rat-hole-like trees?" Those stinking rules in the cave were killed and turned into zombie skeletons, you can figure it out yourself."

After saying this, he turned around and slipped out of the tree house, slid down the ground without making a sound, and after a few vertical leaps, he completely melted into the woods.

Looking at this figure disappearing from the high tree house, Luya sighed. It's not that she doesn't believe it, but she knows that the elders will never believe it.

As soon as the sky turned pale, the magistrate's mansion was pounded loudly.

The magistrate struggled to get up from between the two prostitutes, very annoyed. He has been under a lot of pressure to deal with the imperial envoy these days, so he found two prostitutes last night to reduce the pressure of work. Now it is the time when he is tired and sleeps the most soundly and sweetly, but he is caught by this helpless person. The extremely polite sound woke him up.

There was a tattered sound, it seemed that the door was knocked and broken, and then there was the noise of the servants outside. "Who?" "You are so bold, don't you know this is the home of the magistrate?" The noise quickly approached the door of the magistrate's dormitory following the wailing of some servants, and then there was another knock, one person like a He rushed in like a mad bull, and the two closed doors seemed to be made of paper, and he flew out and hit the wall with the momentum of his rush in. This man was in tatters, as if he had just escaped from the stove, and even his hair was burnt a lot, with black ash on his head, as well as mud and moss. The two whores on the bed screamed in terror.

The magistrate thought it was the heretics who started a large-scale attack and wanted to sacrifice him to the flag first. He was about to dig under the bed when he was grabbed by this man.

The man shouted loudly in his face: "Go and gather all the troops in the city that can be assembled, and send me all the manpower that can be used."

The magistrate Bitter Gourd managed to calm down and recognized that this lunatic-like man was the imperial envoy who went out to investigate the heretics. Quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, I'll get dressed right away, sir. I'll dispatch people as soon as the sun rises."

"Put on your pants and let me go right away~IndoMTL.com~ The magistrate's thin body was almost shaken to pieces. The imperial envoy rushed in from the outside to rescue the magistrate with one kick The servants kicked it out." Even you guys are all brought along. "

"Yes, yes." The magistrate's voice seemed to have nothing to do with his own wishes, it was purely shaken out. "Excuse me, what do we do?"

"Go out of the city and block all the roads leading to the forest of the God of Nature and block them. I will send another 3,000 soldiers to command you. No matter what method you use, you will not be able to let those Pagans go to the noon pilgrimage on the edge of that forest.”

"My lord, there are tens of thousands of heretics, how do you tell me to stop them." The magistrate's bitter face was so bitter that it almost dripped bitter green juice. "As long as we interfere with their activities, they will use force."

"I said, I don't care what you do." Bitter Gourd could almost hear his bones cracking, and his eardrums were about to burst. "In short, I will lead my troops to their holy place immediately. If I see thousands of people rushing towards it at noon, I will use your head as a chamber pot. Do you understand?"

"Got it, got it." Bitter Gourd's voice seemed to be crying.
