Chapter 996 Similar Faces

surrender?

No one would regard Araloth's raising of arms as surrender, so there was only one possibility: Asrai wanted to communicate.

A raven flew out of the Nagareth Gorge, and before it made a shrill and hoarse sound, no one noticed that there was an old woman's messenger around.

The raven flew down on Araloth's shoulder amid a burst of vigilance and preparedness from the Greyhawks, and used its beak that had swallowed countless elves' eyeballs to utter an unexplained cry.

Ordinary people may not be able to understand the specific meaning of animal sounds, but for Aslay, knowing the language of nature is instinctive.

"You're alone," came the hoarse crow's call, much to the disapproval of the Greyhawks who heard the noise around them.

It is an extremely stupid move to let the coach enter the opponent's circle without knowing whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Of course, the same is true for Araloth. The Nagaryth elves may be said to be members of Ulthuan, but in fact they are just a group of Druzi wearing asul skins. Morality and honor are nothing more than toilet paper to cover their shame. Throw it directly into the trash if necessary.

He was a little hesitant and felt inexplicably retreating.

The Shadow King has surrendered to Imric. Thinking of the series of conflicts that had occurred with Imric in Athel Loren, he believed that his trip would be a disaster.

This idea made the brave man choose to ask Lilith for help, hoping to get a clear prediction of his future destiny through the close connection between the two parties.

The lines connecting divine power are very thin, and the two beings in the mortal world and heaven communicate with each other in an imperceptible way.

But the prayers that had always been unstoppable were inexplicably cut off at this time. The eyes of the crow that landed on Aralos's shoulder glowed red, and a deep aura that did not belong to this kind of creature emanated from its dark wings.

The old woman's messenger...

Aralos knew in his heart why the connection with Lilith was cut off. The crow on his shoulder was affecting his destiny, but at what cost...

Without the time to think too much, the brave man took this step, and for the first time dealt a heavy blow to fate without the instructions of Lilith and Ariel.

He said in a deep voice to the surrounding Greyhawks, "If I don't come back, I will take all my compatriots back to Athel Loren and wait for Queen Ariel to dispel the nightmare that haunts the soul.

Asrai should not be involved in this Phoenix King fight. "

Under the guidance of the crow, Aralos strolled toward the south, feeling relaxed and without any alertness as he walked.

He even had an inexplicable thought in his mind. Maybe being pierced through the heart by the Shadow King's arrow at this time would be a good ending. He no longer had to think about what Lilith's intentions were towards Aslay, wandering in the gap between gods and races. struggle.

The walk lasted so long that Aralos didn't even know when dusk would come.

In a flat land based on huge rocks, the crow left his shoulder, indicating that the task had been completed, and the next road would be walked by Alalos himself.

Looking at the towering rocks, the dusk drags the shadow of the rocks and shrouds the darkness inside. The ancient elven runes engraved on the base exude a deep and ancient atmosphere.

This is a primitive altar that worshiped gods in ancient times, but it was turned into ruins during the years of war in Nagaryth.

Araloth walked into the altar and found that the person waiting for him was not the Shadow King Aris Annar, but Elvis, the Caledorian elf who he hated so much.

Elvis, who was squatting by the campfire, was holding a skewer of barbecued meat. The golden and crispy shell crackled with grease, and the alluring taste was intensified by the spices.

Elvis did not raise his head, maintaining the posture of holding the meat skewers and staring at the bonfire in front of him.

The first person to break the silence was Alaros. He looked around and found that there was no sign of anyone else except the elf in front of him.

But wasn’t that arrow of greeting from the Shadow King?

"Where is the Shadow King? I need an explanation as to why you appear in Nagaryth."

Elvis held up the meat skewer and smiled, with a somewhat frivolous look on his face, "Why can't I appear in Nagaris? Don't forget that Malekith killed my grandfather not long ago. Should I continue?" Are you going to stay in the old world and play hide-and-seek with you, Aslay, to frame each other?"

Aralos's face turned dark. He thought that the trigger of the war between Caledor and Bretonnia had been covered up perfectly. Aslay disguised himself as a Caledorian soldier and attacked the human village, which made Barton's chivalrous heart burst. The Tonians directed their holy war against the elven knights who worshiped barbaric gods.

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Asul always likes to use some incomprehensible words to disturb people's hearts, as if this can maintain his usual pride and nobility."

"You don't understand, haha." Elvis did not dwell too much on this matter. The war was over, and the current actual situation was not suitable for launching a settlement with Aslay.

If he loses another Tarsain lord who can rule all the kin, Aslay will surely be close to the moment of eternal darkness.

“When Aslay arrived in Nagaryth through the Oak Roots of Era and surrendered to the Witch-King, we made a planned plan to kill all Aslay who trespassed in this battle for kingship.

But the actual situation is somewhat unexpected. Can you tell me what made you go against Lilith's will and try to talk to Asul. "

Aralos's pupils shrank. The amount of information revealed by these words that pointed to the root of everything was simply shocking. The countless fogs in his mind quickly connected into a clearly visible clue.

Teclis, who had already chosen to betray Lilith, appeared to be an Asur and Druzi double agent, but in reality he was just a spy lurking next to Lilith.

Everything she did was to let Lilith release her trump card as soon as possible.

The hero's body tensed up and he took a step forward, his ferocious aura escaping like a wild beast.

His deep voice was like the roar of some kind of beast, "What do you want to do to Lilith! She is the most beloved Moon Girl, and everything she does is for the elves!"

Elvis couldn't help but nodded, raised the meat skewer and tore off a large piece. While chewing it, he said vaguely, "Of course, she must be the most beloved moon girl among the lickers.

But the irony is that the Shadow King, Teclis and you, the three chosen gods who are favored by the Moon Maiden, all chose to question the gods' decisions.

Perhaps my beloved Lilith can do some self-reflection on why the Chosen Ones she likes are all this kind of thing. "

"But at least it's countless times better than you being the chosen one by a snake. We are elves! The most noble race in the world."

Logically speaking, the insult to Sotek would have made Elvis raise his sword and sacrifice the disrespectful man's head to the giant snake, but he did not do so. He just lowered his head in a slightly disappointed tone and said in a silent tone.

"Yes, we are elves, the most noble race in the world, but we have been trapped in divisions and conflicts for thousands of years, hiding on islands, cold lands and forests. From the beginning to the end, we can only focus on the trivial matters in front of us and the calculations of the gods. Believers, believers rebel against gods, and both sides play games with each other.”

The inexplicable words made Aralos extremely angry. He did not betray Lilith, but he just put the matter of divine selection on hold for the benefit of the race.

This anger caused his hand to unconsciously reach for the long bow on his back. At this distance, no matter how quickly Elvis reacted, it was impossible to avoid the arrow piercing his eyeball.

"Put away your little thoughts, do you think you can get out of here alive if you kill me?" Elvis finally looked up at Aralos, the sarcasm on his face undisguised.

As the brave man's face turned green and red, Elvis fumbled around his legs a little, and threw a stone as big as his head at Alaros.

The speed of the stone was not very fast, letting Aralos know that it was not a sign of war. He caught it easily and looked at the thing in his hand.

A stone statue with half of its face covered by a mask is very simple and simple. Judging from the smoothness, it has the charm of dwarf craftsmanship. The lines are strong and rigid.

"This is..." Even though half of his face was covered by the mask, Aralos could easily tell that the stone statue was 90% similar to him. Gujing Muha's eyes were emotionless, as if gods looked down on mortals with aloof indifference.

Elvis explained the meaning of this stone statue to him and said with great interest.

"This is the face of Asuryan carved during the time of Aenarion. The artists who witnessed the shadow of the god on the Holy Phoenix King tried their best to forget the bloodthirsty influence of Kane, and carved a figure without any trace of blood with their swords. The silent deity of emotion.

The strange thing is, why an Aslay has a face that is 90% similar to the face of the god. Can you explain it a little bit? He is a brave man who is favored by Lilith. "

"No, no, this is possible..." The brave man's complexion suddenly turned extremely pale. Could it be that Lilith chose her because of the mysterious connection with Asuryan, not because of love? !

Elvis patted his thigh, threw the wooden stick in his hand into the bonfire, stood up and walked to Alaros, his scarlet eyes without emotion stared into the green eyes as green as the forest.

"You need to find the answer to all this yourself, and the answer will eventually appear as things develop."

The powerful hands squeezed the stone statue with a clanging sound, and pieces of gravel fell from Aralos' fingertips.

"I want to see the Eternal Queen."

"Yes, you Asrai are more willing to listen to the words of the Eternal Queen than the two Assur and Druzi who are fighting for the kingship.

But you also need to know one thing, if you stand on the wrong team, you will pay the price..."

Threats and intimidation did not defeat Aralos. He threw down the stone statue in his hand. For the first time, he felt that life was so absurd. The care he had taken for hundreds of years was just that he had the same face as Asuryan.

So what is the value of Aris Anar and Teclis to Lilith? This thought made him feel fear in his heart. After the old woman's messenger left, this fear vaguely triggered a mysterious connection, and he confided to the white moon under the night.

Elvis, who passed by Aralos, spoke calmly and solved the problem for the depressed hero.

Streams of blood-like threads rose from the ground and wrapped around the heroic body, and the connection with the divine power was quickly severed.

"You are free until you meet the Eternal Queen, and you will get a chance to pass through the Dragon Gate."

More than a dozen elf horses appeared outside the giant stone altar at some unknown time, and some elite members of the Greyhawks were quietly waiting for the lord to appear.

After seeing that Aralos was unharmed and only looked a little depressed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The guard, who had most of his face covered with gray cloth, walked in front of Aralos and observed in detail whether there was any abnormality. After finding that there was no injury, he immediately asked,

"Next step."

"Go to Avalon. I hope Her Majesty the Eternal Queen can give us some guidance..." Alaros shook his head and refused to say more. Now the only person Aslay can give hope to is Alarielle. Lord Dais's strange attitude makes It's hard to trust people, but only Elsa's daughter would have mercy on Aslay.

The group of people rode on their horses, and the crow that had just disappeared appeared again, guiding the confused Aslay to run south, towards an unknown outcome. (End of chapter)
