Act 92 The Dead and the King(7)
Act 12: The Dead and the King (Fourth update, please continue to ask for support.)
In a dream. (
The royal court of the Silver Elf still shines with the holy white luster as in the memory, with the holy white spire, the holy white arch walls, the holy white cloisters, and the holy white railings.
How long ago was that dream...
"elder sister."
"What's your name?" The voice in the dream became as sharp as ever.
"Yeah, sorry."
In a dream...
I remember my mother said that when you gently press your chest, you can feel the beating of the "heart" and the remaining warmth of life in the palm of your hand. Only when you are close to it can you feel at ease.
But it was just like this that the scenery of Charlotte Village in my childhood became clear. I really want to go back to that time...
"I'm sorry, onee-sama."
"I'm sorry, father."
"It's my fault……"

Brando's words also made him realize another thing. Rather than saying that this little girl had too much blood, it might be another possibility. That is the setting of the plot mission. The guide did not mention the details of how to activate the altar, although Brando believes that he can find the right method with his own experience -
But now it seems that the method is already in front of us?
But since it is a mission, the little girl will probably wake up soon. After all, the game will not keep players waiting for too long. Brando raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, wondering if the world was like this.
The mercenaries were whispering, and Antitina grabbed Roman's hand and looked nervously at the underage silver elf girl on the ground. No one dared to get too close. After all, the unicorn spirit was still guarding her, and its previous power was still there. Who knew whether it would explode and hurt people.
But as Brando expected, the little girl's eyelashes soon moved and then opened.
Those were a pair of somewhat confused eyes.
The rainbow ring was silver and looked a little hollow.
But the empty eyes seemed to be filled with many things in an instant, such as memories, emotions and some more complex factors. After a moment of pause, the little girl moved her body and turned her head sideways to see the faces of everyone including Brando.
She seemed to remember something, her brows furrowed with a painful expression, and then she curled up and coughed violently. She let go of her hand, and her palms were covered with silver blood.
Then she groped on the ground with trembling hands, gritting her teeth to grab the silver spear she had left on the other side -
The mercenaries drew their weapons vigilantly, and some seemed to want to move forward to stop her. But Antitina turned back and shouted: "Brando, she is no longer capable of fighting." The performance of the elf girl before seemed to have touched the noble daughter. She had also been in a state of despair. She felt the same feeling, as if it was a shock. It hit the weakest spot in her heart.
She couldn't fight anymore, that was true.
Brando nodded. This ghost had entered the final stage of death. At this time, he probably just stood and let her kill her, and she didn't have the ability. A ghost stays in this world by virtue of its persistent desire for something, and this desire is the power of its soul. But after the power of its soul collapses, her last connection with the world will also disappear.
From then on, the meaning represented by this little elf girl completely disappeared from this world without a trace.
Sure enough, after groping for a while, the elf girl suddenly stopped. Because she saw in a daze that her hand on the ground was looming, as if it was about to disappear at any time.
Brando raised his hands and asked others to stop.
In fact, he did not need to remind him, and the mercenaries also stopped further actions. If the terrifying ghost knight from before was so powerful that it made people fearful, the ghost of this elf girl was just a weak creature that wanted to be protected and protected.
"Human...sir, am I...going to disappear...?" The elf girl stared blankly at her disappearing hand.
Suddenly he asked. Her voice was like a nightingale in a deserted forest, too good to be true.
This voice made even the younger sister of the pair of wild elves couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. The wild elves were also excellent musicians, but they were still at a disadvantage in front of the nobles of the elves, the silver elves.
Since Warnd's elves were passed down from the golden bloodline, there are actually only two silver clans with the purest bloodline, one is the silver elves and the other is the mist elves. Because the golden clan has long since disappeared, the silver elves and mist elves have become the natural royal clan of the elves.
Brando nodded silently.
The task came, but he suddenly found that he couldn't be happy. In the game, he would usually not be affected by such a scene, because he knew it was just an NPC, but here, he found that he couldn't be cold-blooded.
"You..." Antitina tested in a low voice: "That knight before... was you?"
"..." The elf girl did not answer, but nodded silently. Her arms and calves had begun to become transparent. But she raised her head and forced a smile: "I...killed many people...It turns out that Lord Martha must have abandoned me..."
"That's not your fault." Brando replied. That incident in history was indeed caused by the Temple of Flame not being kind enough, otherwise Lord Martha would not have been furious. In fact, Eruin's national destiny has been declining since then.
Besides, he has basically figured out the cause and effect. It must be that the monks of the Temple of Fire wanted to change the contract between the ancient kings of the silver elves and Martha and the elf goddess Saya. Brando has also done such a thing as changing the divine contract. It is not complicated in fact, but the risk is extremely high - he is a player and can naturally bear it, but he does not know that the Eruin people were so bold at the time, but in the end The result is that evil spirits take advantage of the situation.
That led to a tragedy.
The little girl must have been controlled by evil spirits at that time, but the high-ranking monks of the Temple of Fire were not vegetarians. After a tragic battle that was not recorded in history, the temple disappeared since then. Throughout all officially recorded history, it has remained dilapidated until now.
"What's your name?"
Brando found that even at this time, Roman's questions were still so constructive.
"My name is Medissa, and my surname is Crescent Moon." The elf girl replied.
"Are you not from the royal family?" Brando and Antitina were startled and asked in unison. The surname of the royal family of silver elves is the same as that of the empire. The royal family of Hayalan is the purest silver family, and those who are not pure-blooded royal family cannot enter this royal tomb.
"Well, I am a craftsman's daughter."
"But this is the tomb of the Silver Elf King..." Antitina asked.
This question made the elf girl stunned for a while, and half of her body gradually became transparent: "Because there are some special reasons..." she said.
"Special reason? I heard that the Silver Elves would bury their greatest heroes and the ancient kings together..." The noble daughter recited the words in the book, but she looked at the little girl suspiciously, and she couldn't even look at it. Like the 'greatest' hero.
The elf girl touched her unicorn and her eyes softened: "It's not like that. In fact, I am here on behalf of others."
What?
Brando almost spit out the second saliva in a very unflattering way. At that time, he had heard of people taking exams on behalf of others, but he had never heard of people occupying tombs on behalf of others. What's this? Standing in line?
However, Antitina was much more perceptive than him. The girl immediately asked: "Death as a substitute? Or buried as a sacrifice?"
Brando was startled, a substitute? He thought to himself that this was really a bloody development. But I didn't expect that the silver elf, who has always been noble and elegant, would do such a thing. He looked just like a human.
But the elf girl immediately shook her head: "I volunteered."
"Voluntary?" Brando couldn't believe it.
A faint smile appeared on the face of the elf girl, as if she had thought of something proud: "I came here on behalf of...my sister...no, I came here for...the princess."
When she said this, her lower body was almost transparent and almost invisible.
"Wait a minute." Brando interrupted her, "Sister? Your Highness, what is going on?"
"My mother is an elf craftsman in the village of Shalor. But my father is the emperor of the Hayalan Empire. I think I can be considered half a princess..."
"So your sister is the princess of the Silver Elf Empire?"
The girl nodded.
"What's going on?"
"My sister was cursed by the Min'er people during the battle. The court mage told my father that unless a blood relative died for her, she would be weak in her lifetime until she died." The elf girl He slowly narrated: "But my sister is the most outstanding general in the empire. No matter the dwarves, human allies, or our people, we don't want this to happen..."
"So, my father chose me."
Antitina frowned when she heard this: "...He is your father, how could he do such a thing."
But Brando held down the noble daughter. She didn't understand how powerful the Dragon of Darkness faced by the Four Saints in the Year of Chaos was. In order to fight against that existence, all races paid a huge price. As the ruler of the Hayalan Empire, it was normal for Metisha's father to make such a choice.
He looked at the elf girl, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Why are you telling us this?"
"Because... I want to ask you for a favor?"
Sure enough, Brando thought.
"What's the deal?"
"The lizard people in the forest took my sister's necklace from my tomb. I don't know what they want to do. But without that item, the curse cannot be fixed on me. I'm worried..."
Antitina felt depressed for a while and couldn't help but interrupt her: "You are going to disappear yourself. Are you still worried about others?"
The elf girl glanced at the noble daughter and smiled.
"Because of this, I hope...that my disappearance will be...more meaningful..."
Antitina choked.
"This is your own business. We seem to have the right to refuse, right?" Brando asked again. Although his reason told him to accept this commission, for some reason, he felt a little angry when he saw this little girl who seemed to have nothing to do with the world.
The girl raised her head, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "Human... Sir, you are here to seek help from the souls of the ancient kings, right?"
Her body is almost completely transparent.
"you know?"
"I can hear the slightest breeze in the valley..." She closed her eyes and replied, "But to gain the recognition of the ancient kings, you must first gain my recognition..."
"So, I want to make a deal with you."
He was threatened, and he was threatened by a little girl. Brando felt angry for a while. Could he turn his back? He looked back at Antitina and Roman, and the two girls and Tiger Bird nodded.
"Okay, but I have a request." Brando said: "I ask for help from the souls of the ancient kings first. Otherwise, using our power to deal with the lizard man bandits in the forest will be like hitting a stone with an egg."
The girl nodded.
"I have agreed," she replied.
Brando was startled: "Aren't you worried that I will regret it?"
"Of course...worried." The elf girl was silent for a while and then replied.
"Then why did you..."
The girl suddenly coughed.
She raised her head again, with tears all over her face: "Of course I'm worried. But... I also... don't want to disappear... I still have... things... to be done..., I'm sorry, can you help... me?"
The wind in the mountains passed over the top of the forest, seeming to bring a whimpering sound from afar -
Everyone was stunned at that moment. Although they had obviously disappeared without a trace, every word of the elf girl's last cry seemed to linger in each of their ears. Brando turned back and looked at the others, but for a moment he couldn't say a word.
