Chapter 171 Stay or Go
What did you see?
An unfathomable light blue.
It would be more accurate to say that it was not so much that Lu Yi was seeing something through the light blue, but that the tower was trying to glimpse what Lu Yi wanted to see through his azure eyes.
His eyes said silently: You have what I want.
A chilly malice snaked up from his heels like poison, circling around Lu Yi's neck for a moment, and finally hung on the top of his head.
[Ding Dong! The malicious level detected has reached the lowest level——]
[(error 402#Malicious value rebounding...)]
[Warning! ERROR 40301: The value is jumping at a high speed, and the malicious value determination failed! ]
[Secondary judgment in progress...]
[Judgment completed! The malicious value is less than the minimum judgment threshold, and the judgment fails! ]
[ERROR 40301 Judgment failed, background log loading - data loading completed, misjudgment compensation is being automatically extracted -]
[The bonus of C-level item Crimson Eye is triggered! S-level item [Crimson (Seeing through illusions) Eye] is taking effect! ! ]
Time slowed down infinitely at this moment, and a series of notices exploded in Lu Yi's mind.
As the last mechanical sound fell to the ground, an invisible and formless light enveloped Lu Yi's eyes.
His eyes were given supreme priority, like the light of heaven splitting the valley, directly hitting the darkness and unbearableness buried in the deepest part of the peeper.
Through the pair of light blue eyes in front of me, some fragmented images flashed quickly before my eyes.
The light-blond elf wearing a small laurel crown had a blank expression on his face, and his white, powerful hands tightly grasped the neck of the older elf. The old elf struggled in vain, and finally died in his hands...
The exploration of the Crimson Eye seemed to have the power to travel through time. The tower in the picture seemed to have noticed something and glanced sideways with extreme sharpness and accuracy.
The magic power of the elf passed through the trajectory of the Crimson Eye and attacked Lu Yi directly behind his perspective.
The next second the picture shattered, and Lu Yi took a few steps back, gasping for breath.
The tower standing in front of him frowned slightly.
Ta was already quite disappointed that he couldn't see what he wanted to find on Lu Yi. When he saw Lu Yi's abnormal reaction, he suddenly became suspicious.
"Answer me, what did you see?"
Lu Yi lowered his head, the scene just now still appearing in front of his eyes, and he didn't answer in time for a while.
——Who did the Elf King kill? Is that elder the Elf Elder?
"What on earth did you see?" he demanded sharply.
Ta seemed to have suddenly lost his patience. He took a big step forward, put his hand under Lu Yi's chin and made him look at him directly.
Lu Yi was not afraid at all and looked at him under all the pressure.
He felt the cold temperature of the Elf King's fingertips on his jaw, as if some cold-blooded animal was climbing onto his skin.
There was an unusually obvious gasp from the side, and Ta was suddenly aware of his own loss of composure. He subconsciously withdrew his hand and turned his head away.
Lu Yi calmly replied: "What I saw is not important. What is important is what Your Majesty wants to see, right?"
Although Lu Yi was not sure what he was thinking, it was obvious that he was just making things worse and the loss outweighed the gain.
Bai suddenly stood up and climbed to Lu Yi's feet, tugged at his clothes and said anxiously: "Don't be rude!"
"Although His Majesty seems to be a little special to you, you can't take advantage of your favor and become arrogant! Lu Yi, be careful with your words and actions!"
Lu Yi: “…”
He lowered his head to glance at Bai, who was anxious, and then pulled his hand away. He said to the expressionless Elf King in front of him, "I don't know if I have offended you, Your Majesty, but from the beginning to the end, I have been talking to you with the most sincere attitude."
"You asked me what I saw. There is nothing I can't tell you. I saw you standing on the top of a mountain, leading the elves to glory."
Lu Yi didn't lie either.
After the scene of the elder being killed was broken, several scattered fragments of the scene appeared.
First, the elf with long golden hair was crowned king under the huge elf tree - this should be in the past.
Then the mother tree withers and the leaves fall - this should be the present moment.
The last scene is the Elf King wearing armor and riding an elk, holding a bow and arrow, looking at the human territory below the mountain with ambitious eyes - this is most likely the future.
Lu Yi stared straight at the Elf King's Tower, as if he could see the turbulent waves in his heart through his calm eyes.
Burning there was the unknown ambition and desire of the young Elf King, which he had carefully placed in the deepest part of his heart, but was unexpectedly dragged into the sunlight today.
Ta looked at Lu Yi deeply, as if he was re-evaluating and examining everything about him.
The most incredible thing about this human with stunning appearance is not the beauty that can be seen at a glance, but something deeper, hidden in the soul.
Ta's eyes changed again and again, and he asked, "Are you a trainee prophet? A member of the Holy See?"
He is called an apprentice prophet because Lu Yi is still young, and even the title of "apprentice prophet" is a compliment to him.
But this does not match the intelligence they had previously discovered.
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Not really, Your Majesty, it's just that I am luckier than other humans, and I have the blessing of the gods..."
"The blessing of the gods." Ta repeated, "Yes, you are the only one favored by the gods in the past thousand years who has caused a miracle to happen."
"Then why didn't you join the Church?" Ta asked in confusion, "If you are willing, the Holy Son position of the Church is prepared for you, why give it to others?"
"...Maybe because I'm more rebellious?" Lu Yi said.
tower:"……"
"Are you kidding me?"
"No." Lu Yi said seriously, "But who stipulated that those favored by God must enter the Church? Who stipulated that the human race must do this and that—"
You see, isn’t the Elf King not as peaceful as the elves in the legend?
The Elf King did not comment, but simply said: "I hope you can maintain your personality."
"Of course, of course."
Bai was extremely shocked by the casual way in which the man and the elf were asking and answering each other. For a few seconds, he even thought that he was worried for nothing.
Judging from the current scene alone, Lu Yi and the Elf King are much more familiar with each other than he and the Elf King!
It was not until the Elf King said "Excuse me" and turned away that Bai slowly got up.
No one noticed that the departing Elf King had a few strands of golden hair between his fingers.
Saman, who had been acting as a background wall beside him, also came forward, patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Strong."
"When the Elf King glanced at me just now, I almost stopped breathing. How come you are still so calm? I think I have seen a lot of big scenes before."
Lu Yi pretended to be experienced and said: "I have experienced more than just big scenes..."
Are you kidding? He has been hunted down by several gods one by one. Who can be scared by a mere Elf King?
Today's Lu Yi is no longer the Lu Yi of yesterday!
"Anyway, your performance just now was amazing. I feel like this mission is a sure thing." Saman said with a smile.
Lu Yi was about to say something, but finally swallowed the "flag" in his mouth and waved his hand, saying, "Let it go. We have tried our best."
"It should be said that we are one step away from success," Saman corrected.
As a result, his words were refuted that afternoon.
The Elf King, who had been able to communicate well in the morning, suddenly became ruthless in the afternoon and bluntly stated that they could not prove their identity as visitors from Bleside. During the negotiations, he was unwilling to let them go to Bleside to obtain the original documents and then return to the Elf Forest, nor was he willing to send an elf to go with them to Bleside to verify their identities.
By the end of the conversation between the two parties, the air was frozen.
The Elf King Tower and the Elders sat on the high seats, Lu Yi and Saman sat in the guest seats below, and no one spoke for a while.
As for Bai?
At the very beginning, he was driven out by the elders to "play on his own".
Saman and Lu Yi exchanged a glance, and Lu Yi was the first to "get restless". He frowned slightly and asked, "I wonder what your majesty means... or what the elves mean? As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best to cooperate."
The tower on the main seat still had his eyes half closed, his hands lightly placed on the armrests of the chair, his fingertips tapping lightly from time to time.
After Lu Yi finished speaking, his fingertips tapping on the armrest of the wooden chair finally stopped.
The elder Ling standing by seemed to have received some hint, and stepped forward and said to the two of them: "In fact, we are not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, nor do we want to fulfill our original promise."
"I think there should be records in your human history that our elves have been living in seclusion for many years. For so many years, we have been living in the Elf Forest and have not had any entanglement with other races. This peaceful status quo is something that all elves are unwilling to disrupt."
"Yes, just as you said."
Lu Yi nodded, "hmm," but he was thinking in his heart that this might not be the case.
At least the Elf King next to him is not a good person.
The elders still stated solemnly: "But once the elves make a promise, they will never break it."
“The biggest compromise we made is that one of you must stay in the elves, and the other must return to Bryside to obtain the original letter.
“The person who leaves must not disclose any matters concerning the elves to any non-essential personnel. After obtaining the original letter, he must return to the Elf Forest immediately. We will then send elves to meet him at the entrance.
"How about it, can you accept it?"
The elder had a kind face and a friendly tone, but his words clearly left them no room for negotiation.
The two exchanged glances for a moment, and then Lu Yi said, "Of course, your request is not excessive, but I want to know whether the choice of who will go or stay is decided by us or by you?"
"Of course it was designated by the elves." Elder Ling said without hesitation.
Lu Yi smiled and nodded, thinking a few more times in his mind.
"Then we have no questions, but we don't know when is the best time to set off?"
The elder ordered: "The sooner the better."
The Elf King Tower on the wooden throne finally opened his eyes and said with inexplicable kindness: "Lu Yi, how about you stay here?"
"It's my honor." Lu Yi said.
The author has something to say:
When I was writing the setting of the elves, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind: Lu Yi = Tang Monk meat, which made me laugh.
I've been busy with my graduation project and internship these days (kneel down slowly). Sorry, my wife has been waiting for a long time. (bang bang bang)
