Lann frowned slightly as he saw a sickly blush flash across the Alder King's face.
This is certainly not because the king of the Ainn El tribe has any special hobby, so he gets any pleasure from the arrow wound.
Lann knew that the Alder King had some unhealthy habits, which made the body of this elven sage shaky.
In the original novel, the Alder King was even so weak that he died from an overdose of aphrodisiacs.
Now Lann had shot anesthetics and magic-blocking gold into the opponent's body through arrows. He only hoped that the Elf King who had just taken the medicine would not die on the spot.
Even if you want to die, you have to wait a while...
"what happened?!"
"Your Majesty?! Are you listening?!"
There were voices coming from outside the door. They were the guards outside the bedroom, and the elven sage Avallac'h who had become alert because of the fluctuations of Lann's time and space travel.
"There's an intruder! It's a unicorn!" They made a beautiful mistake.
…
Eredin's body began to tremble, and the armor on his body began to make a "clinking" sound of metal collision.
He could never forget the blow that split Francesca and the rainbow in the sky in half.
In this small room, he knew no one could stop this man.
Escape! You must escape! Escape, escape, escape, escape!
The commander of the Wild Hunt followed his instinct and reacted directly. His knees weakened, and he miraculously slipped away from Lann's oppressive grip.
He realized that this was a great opportunity, and almost crawled towards the bedroom door, leaving his king alone to face the lion from another world.
With a "bang", because there was no response for a long time, the bedroom door was knocked open by the strong shock wave, and the gray-haired elf sage rushed in with a staff in hand, and saw the panicked Eredin head-on.
"Avallac'h, he is the Ancient Blood!"
A look of relief appeared on Eredin's face, but his pupils reflected Avallac'h's horrified face.
The son of the ancient bloodline spread his palms behind him.
At that moment, chaotic energy comparable to that of a lake or sea gushed out from a space only the size of one person. The surrounding air seemed to expand due to the energy injected into it, and an invisible air wave spread in all directions before the seal appeared.
For the Kaimu Land, which has been closed for several years, this is a long-awaited replenishment of energy from the outside world.
[Alder Seal·Long-range Alder·Alder Enhancement·Shock Wave]
There was no explosion of magic power, just a "standard" seal, but the power that erupted was terrifying enough.
The cone-shaped glacier erupted towards the outside of the door with Lann as the center. The temperature in the house was instantly sucked away by an invisible giant hand, as if a mountain giant who had been suffering in the world of ice and snow for a thousand years was greedily sucking heat here.
Eredin's face was still filled with relief, but in an instant it turned into an ice sculpture. He kept running away, glittering.
The last of the Wild Hunt, Commander Eredin Brick Glass, died at this moment.
His mission to Lann was accomplished.
Avallac'h roared, and a sapphire protective shield emerged from the void, protecting him tightly.
He tried to strike back, but the glacier had already passed him and poured into the palace. His guards followed Eredin and turned into crystalline works of art, and the walls and palace were also affected.
"Is the White Frost coming?!"
The other confused guards and servants in the palace saw the ice spreading out under their feet and could feel the biting chill across two corridors.
They cried out in despair: "Why is it so fast? How can the white frost come so quickly?"
"Your Majesty! Lord Avallac'h! Save us!!"
Lann walked towards the person the elves were asking for help, and another one behind him had just put away the magical protection.
Avallac'h shook his body. "You are not a unicorn, you are the Ancient Blood? Wait...let him go!"
The gray-haired sage roared loudly, but the Ancient Blood in front of him didn't even look back at him.
He saw the other put his hand on the leader's shoulder, and then they both lit up with emerald light.
The familiar fluctuations stimulated his perception. This was the power that the entire Ain El race had been dreaming of for a hundred years, the power to travel through time and space.
However, this power was fleeting, and nothing was left in its place.
…
Lann held his prisoner tightly to prevent the tearing of space from causing him to disappear.
The scene in front of him quickly became clear again after the white blur, and then Lan saw Ciri who breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you worried about me?"
Ciri chuckled and looked intently at the other person in Lan's hand. The children wanted to rush towards their father again, but now they were a little timid because of the presence of the Alder King, and hid behind Ciri instead.
"Do you need me to worry? As for him... is he the one who has been threatening us?"
Lan nodded and lowered his eyes, and found that the Alder King was looking at Ciri in a trance.
"Laura?" The Alder King's eyes were wet, this was the aftereffect of taking the medicine. Ciri's figure vaguely overlapped with someone in his memory.
But he quickly shook his head and said regretfully, "No, you're just Dh'oine... but you have eyes very much like hers."
"Are you another Ancient Blood?"
Ciri's face suddenly darkened.
When she was practicing magic, she naturally had to learn the ancient language of the elves. She knew that "Dh'oine" was a derogatory term used by the elves to refer to humans.
The elves on the continent always call humans this, such as the once proud Francesca.
Now it seems that their relatives in the other world are even more proud than they are.
Lann's face was also grim. He took out a pair of magic-blocking golden shackles from the inventory and handcuffed them on the hands and feet of the Alder King with a "click". The intense dizziness and tingling sensation made the other party groan in pain again.
"You scared me, Ancient Blood." The Alder King was thrown to the ground by Lann, and the wounds on his body began to bleed again, but his tone began to return to normal.
"You have actually mastered the power of traveling through space... What do you rely on?"
Lann touched Ciri's hair, then took out a leather mask and slapped it on the Alder King to cover his elegant mouth.
Now you can no longer hear that artificial voice with melody.
"Don't be surprised," Lann looked at the King of Alder, who was finally getting angry but couldn't say a word, "because you will be even more surprised in a moment."
…
The elven guards rushed to the place where the Alder King had just disappeared, kneeling on the ground and groping in confusion.
Avallac'h looked at them, his face livid.
It is the ancient blood, the ancient blood really appeared.
Moreover, the opponent's attack would require me to use almost all my strength to defend!
So it seems that Eredin was not lying, his Red Knights were really annihilated by the Ancient Blood alone.
But why does the ancient blood have such powerful power?
"Do something, Lord Avallac'h!" he heard someone plead with him.
Avallac'h took a deep breath. Now was not the time to think too much. Their leader had been captured!
"Call all soldiers, put on armor, and prepare for battle!"
The Elf Sage said harshly.
Without the King of Alder, he was the only elven sage of the Ain El tribe, and no one could match his prestige. Several elven officers who heard the news responded and immediately turned around to gather the troops.
Avallac'h raised his hand, and the ice sculpture of Eredin, which was still in a fleeing posture, immediately floated in the air. The elf inside was dead, but this body was still of great use to Avallac'h.
He came to the unicorns' enclosure like the wind, and watched those beautiful horned creatures scatter in all directions because of his aura.
With a wave of his hand, Eredin's ice sculpture fell in front of the unicorns.
It is visible to the naked eye that hatred is visible in the eyes of these intelligent creatures.
A cold consciousness suddenly surged into Avallac'h's mind. The elven sage knew what it was and immediately gave up his resistance and let the other party enter his mind.
[This is Sparrowhawk. Did you kill him to cooperate with us?] A voice like a clear spring sounded in Avallac'h's mind, [And what was the space fluctuation just now? Are there any of our compatriots here?]
Avallac'h turned and stared at the tallest unicorn, humming softly, "Are you finally willing to communicate with us now?"
[You killed the Sparrowhawk.] The unicorn leader replied.
As the leader of the Wild Hunt, Eredin often hunted down unicorns in this world while plundering in other worlds to obtain materials to expand his own troops. He was the most hated unicorn in the entire Ain El race, and "Sparrowhawk" was the nickname used by the unicorns to describe Eredin.
Avallac'h had one too, and the unicorns called this calculating elven sage "The Fox."
Avallac'h stared at the unicorn, as if trying to tell the real from the fake. But the unicorns, who were born with the ability to communicate with the mind, might not be as strong as Avallac'h in combat, but they were far superior to Avallac'h in the use of mental magic.
This made it impossible for Avallac'h to use magic such as mind reading to detect lies, and judging the elves' expressions was completely useless to the unicorns.
"I have to tell you that I have no patience anymore. You must answer whatever I ask you from now on, and do whatever I ask you to do." Avallac'h said coldly, "If you hide anything or resist, I will saw off your horns and peel off your skin, and make the unicorns completely extinct. Do you understand?"
The unicorn leader showed real anger.
【Without us, you too will perish! 】
Avallac'h laughed in anger, and his expression gradually calmed the unicorn leader down.
【what happened?】
"I want you to answer my questions, not me answering yours."
Avallac'h's face was grim. "First of all, which world did you go to? What happened there? Why did you return with wounds?"
The unicorn could clearly sense the emotions of the people around him, and Avallac'h did not hide his anger at the moment, which forced the unicorn to answer him.
[We have arrived at the world where another tribe of yours is located. It is the closest.]
[Because of your hunting, we had to take the risk of leaving here with our young tribesmen. Protecting them cost us a lot of energy during this journey.]
[But the new world is even more dangerous. Because we couldn't choose our landing point, we accidentally landed in Dh'oine's territory and were surrounded and killed by their army.]
The unicorn leader bowed his head.
[The tribe members are getting fewer and fewer, until only the few you see are left.]
[We were forced into danger. Their arrows were all pointed at us, so we had to take the risk and choose to come back again - and then we met you.]
Avallac'h took a deep breath and asked, "Does the human who is chasing you have golden hair and golden eyes and also possess the power of time and space?"
The unicorn leader looked incredulous.
How do you know?
Yes, Avallac'h mused.
I can feel the vibrations of time and space travel, so there is no reason why the ancient blood that specializes in the power of time and space cannot feel it.
The other side almost wiped out the Red Knights three years ago, and they probably looked for an opportunity to counterattack the Land of Armored Wood. I just don't know if it's because they don't have the ability to freely travel through time and space, or because they don't have the coordinates to reach this world, so it has been delayed for so long - until these unicorns appeared.
Avallac'h gnashed his teeth: "You are the ones who brought him here!"
The unicorns looked at each other.
The Elf Sage took a deep breath. Things had already happened. What was more important now was to remedy the situation rather than vent his anger.
He pointed at the ice sculpture of Eredin and said, "There may be a spatial coordinate on his body. Can you sense it?"
Avallac'h didn't know how the Ancient Blood worked, but there must be a reason why the Ancient Blood appeared in the bedroom of the Redwood King so coincidentally.
In the entire Land of Armorwood, only Eredin has come into contact with the Ancient Blood. If we were to find someone with a problem, it would have to be him.
The unicorn leader closed his eyes and opened them after three breaths.
【able.】
"Very good." Avallac'h gritted his teeth.
"I will take you to the remains of the Ain El's time and space gate, and then I want you to use all your strength to open the largest cross-border portal, and finally reverse the door to the person who marked him. Can you do it?"
The unicorn leader still rejected the Ain El tribe, and rejection was immediately revealed in his eyes. However, Avallac'h's anger intensified, and it seemed that he would turn the unicorn in front of him into blood foam in the next second.
So the unicorn could only nod reluctantly.
…
Lann looked up as if he had sensed something. The sky was still clear, but his sight penetrated into the endless void.
“Here it comes!”
Lann slapped the ground, and dozens of balls of light lit up around him, revealing unicorns.
These are the only unicorns left in the Brokilon Forest that possess certain spatial talents.
The next second, an alien force tentatively stretched out its finger towards Lann, and the [Crossing] option in the system flashed.
Lann did not choose to travel through the physical body, but used this skill to fully mobilize the ancient blood in his body. Bright emerald light shone from his body, and then the light spread to Ciri and the four children.
Start to resonate and become one.
The entire Bald Mountain was lit up by them, as if the sun had set on the mountain!
An unprecedented portal appeared in the sky. With the combined power of the two worlds, it easily broke through the wall that spanned the star realm.
…
Avallac'h's pupils suddenly shrank. He had never expected that the unicorns could open such a large portal.
The unicorns collapsed to the ground one by one, and the elven sage took over control in time.
He did not have the ability to open the door, but it was more than enough to maintain the passage with the treasures of the Ainn El tribe.
"Ain El, people of the Armorwood!" Avallac'h shouted behind him, "Go and rescue our leader!"
The troops had already assembled, and upon hearing this, they erupted in earth-shaking roars.
The unicorn leader's long horn scratched the ground obscurely, and the spiral stripes on its head seemed to have lost their spirituality at that moment.
…
On the top of Bald Mountain, the summoned unicorn raised its head and neighed, and silver streams like moonlight emanated from its body.
The next second, the huge portal in the sky disappeared.
And in Nilfgaard, the city of golden towers.
Fringilla was awakened by the unicorn, and the runes throughout the mansion burst into a blinding light.
Above the sky, the disappeared teleportation array appeared.
