Chapter 058 The Dark Elves Return to the Mother Tree
At that moment, darkness dissipated and light came.
Roald came back to his senses from the pain and looked up in a daze at the unicorn and elf that suddenly appeared.
All dark elves know from birth that they are creatures living in darkness and will never be able to see the light. Even if they desire it in their hearts, they must try their best to hide it.
Roald often hated the unfairness of fate.
Why am I a dark elf, and not the white elves favored by the God of Light as described in the legend?
The elven poems sung by the bards depict beautiful and desirable pictures.
Sometimes he would wonder darkly, is the Elf King really as noble, holy, great and wise as praised in poetry?
If so, why did the Dark Elf King choose to betray?
As Roald grew up, he was no longer innocent. After becoming a feared necromancer, he had already lost his childhood aspirations and sneered at the Elf King.
The cruel reality tells him that only by standing at the pinnacle of power can he change his destiny.
The Elf King was just lucky and was favored by the God of Light, gaining great power and being highly respected by the world.
If one day he is tainted by darkness, can he still remain holy?
Because of his contempt, he set his sights on the White Elves and Goblins. Blinded by desire, he lost his reverence for the Elf King. He became arrogant and reckless, acting recklessly and becoming the Dark God's most loyal follower.
Roald reveled in darkness and was complacent about it.
However, at this moment, with both his hands cut off, he knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, with a distorted expression, looking up in embarrassment at the blond elf on the back of the unicorn.
He was like a ray of dawn, descending from the sky and driving away the endless darkness. He was dressed in gorgeous robes, wearing a silver crown that was unique in the world, and his face was handsome, as bright as the moon.
Roald stared up blankly, forgetting the pain of his broken hand.
When he met the golden-haired elf's icy green eyes, he suddenly felt cold all over.
The terrifyingly powerful pressure ruthlessly attacked his soul.
Roald couldn't stop trembling all over.
At this moment, he finally knew who the blond elf on the unicorn's back was.
He is the Elf King!
He is the Son of Light who is closest to the God of Light!
Even though Roald was a dark elf tainted by darkness, when he saw the real Elf King, he would instinctively prostrate himself at his feet and beg for his forgiveness.
The dark elf, in contrast to his previous arrogance and brutality, lowered his proud head, knelt humbly on the ground, and trembled.
The Elf King gently shook off the last drop of blood from the sword and put it back into the scabbard with an elegant movement, as if it was not he who cut off the dark elf's hands.
"Dark Elf, didn't Ong O'Rakiri tell you never to set foot in the Fey Forest?"
As Roald listened to the Elf King's cold voice, the fear of death surged in his heart. His throat tightened and he dared not answer.
Ang Orakiri betrayed the Elf King ten thousand years ago and was expelled from the Elf Kingdom and the Fairy Forest forever. Together with the traitors who followed him, he degenerated into a dark elf.
Roald had only seen the Dark Elf King once. He was too young at that time and his impression of him was very vague. He only remembered that he sat high up on the throne, looking at their newborn cubs with indifference.
Later, he was kidnapped by pirates and never saw the Dark Elf King again. Naturally, he didn't know the rule that dark elves were never allowed to set foot in the Fairy Forest.
Even if he knew, he would think it was nonsense.
However, at this moment, he was terrified. The Elf King's words were not empty talk.
He instinctively looked up, gazing at the noble Elf King in panic. His sensitive ears heard him whisper a profound spell, and his body shook as his consciousness suddenly became blurred.
“…Return to the mother tree!”
The Elf King's last words echoed in his ears, and Roald found himself surrounded by a soft light.
So warm.
The unprecedented feeling made his soul tremble. Although his life force was slipping away, he did not feel any resentment or fear. He even felt that he had finally been redeemed.
ah--
It turns out that deep down in his heart he longs for light.
“Plop, plop—”
His heart gradually stopped beating, and he showed a happy expression, accepting death peacefully.
Shu Li sat on the grass in a daze, still in shock. Seeing the Elf King riding a unicorn, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, thinking he was too scared and hallucinating.
When he heard the Elf King's heavenly voice, he was finally sure that everything before him was real.
However, just as he was about to spread his wings and fly towards the Elf King, he was surprised to find that the evil necromancer was wrapped in a ball of light and turned into ashes in an instant.
Shu Li opened his mouth in shock.
This dark elf who had been chasing them relentlessly, forcing Kumandi to break through his limits ahead of time and even nearly crushing him to death, died so easily?
The Elf King just chanted a spell and turned him into ashes.
Even the severed hands were swallowed by the light. If it weren't for the bloodstains on the grass, he would really doubt whether the dark elves existed.
"Woooa! The King is coming!"
"The King destroyed the Dark Elves! How amazing!"
"Wuwuwu, King, please check on Kumandi. He's not moving. I'm so scared—"
The three goblins that had been surrounding Kumandi finally dared to speak out when they saw the dark elf disappear.
After being frightened all the way, I finally relaxed at this moment, tears rolled down my cheeks, and I cried until I was out of breath.
The Elf King dismounted the unicorn and walked over to Kumandi. He petted the three goblins soothingly, checked on the unconscious Kumandi, and said gently, "Don't worry, he's fine, he's just exhausted."
Knowing that Kumandi was fine, the three goblins hiccupped to stop their tears.
Disio wiped his face vigorously, then suddenly remembered something and shouted in panic, "Ah! Sperian! Where's Sperian?"
It was so thrilling before.
When he found that Sperien was rushing towards the dark elf recklessly, he was horrified and watched the dark elf pinch his head... If the king had not arrived in time, he couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen next.
Disio shuddered involuntarily.
"I... I'm here..."
Shu Li sat on the grass, making a faint sound.
Maybe it was because he had used up all his strength in the confrontation with the dark elf, but he couldn't fly when he spread his wings. His body seemed to be out of control, shaking constantly, and even his words were weak.
He also wanted to cry loudly like his three friends and complain to the Elf King about the horror of the dark elves, but when he opened his mouth, no tears came out.
Just as he was daydreaming, a pair of warm hands picked him up from the grass.
"Sperian."
The Elf King gently wiped away a small drop of blood on his face with his fingertips.
Shu Li was suddenly surrounded by warmth, and her body miraculously stopped shaking. She stared blankly at the handsome face of the Elf King so close to her. Various emotions such as tension, anxiety, fear, despair, and fear of consequences suddenly burst out and poured out like a dam breaking. Misty mist appeared in her big green eyes, which quickly condensed into tears and rolled down.
He didn't cry loudly, but just bit his lips and shed tears silently, his little body trembling slightly, looking very pitiful.
The Elf King was stunned for a moment, holding him with one hand, letting him lean against his chest, stroking his hair with the other hand, lowering his head and speaking softly.
"It's okay, you're safe, don't be afraid."
Shu Li clung to the Elf King's clothes. The more gently he was comforted, the more tears he shed. Gradually, he began to sob.
"I... I'm so stupid... boohoo... I can't even pronounce the spell properly... boohoo..."
Thinking about his slip of the tongue at the critical moment, he felt even more sad.
"My magical talent... is not good at all! Not good at all! Fairies who can't... can't cast spells... are the dumbest, the dumbest! Wuuwuwu——"
I have been learning Elvish for five years, but I just can't master it. I know I have shortcomings, but I don't try to correct them. I think if I learn slowly, I will get better.
However, after what happened today, he was shocked to find out how terrible his shortcoming of slip of the tongue was!
If he continues like this, he will never be able to become a powerful magician, let alone a brave man.
The enemy will not give a magician with a slip of the tongue any chance to survive.
He is so stupid, so stupid, so stupid!
Why can’t I just say bad things?
Shu Li fell into self-loathing. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She curled up into a small ball and cried heartbrokenly.
The Elf King sighed faintly, raised his hand, revealing the little one in his palm, then brought it close to his face and rubbed it gently.
"Well?"
Shu Li, who was immersed in sadness, was suddenly touched by something soft. Her crying stopped abruptly. Two big tear bubbles hung in the corners of her eyes, and she was stunned.
Just now... his cheeks... touched those of the Elf King?
"Don't cry anymore?" The Elf King smiled, stroked his little face with his index finger, and wiped away the tears.
Shu Li sat there in a daze, at a loss, allowing the Elf King to wipe his tears. His sadness and annoyance faded away, and shame slowly emerged.
"Sperien is the bravest and smartest elf in the Elf Forest. How could he be stupid?" The Elf King said gently and touched his hair again.
Shu Li tilted his head and showed an incredible expression when he heard Wang's praise of him.
He's... brave and smart?
"If you don't believe me, ask your friends." The Elf King looked down at the three goblins.
The three goblins who had been watching them shouted in unison: "Sperian is the bravest and smartest goblin in the Goblin Forest!"
Shu Li wiped his face hastily, feeling even more ashamed.
Disio flew to the Elf King, dancing excitedly and describing the thrilling scene of Shu Li fighting against the dark elves.
"...Sperian is so powerful! He's not even afraid of the dark elves. He pierced the dark elves' fingers with his dagger..."
"Yes, yes! He was caught by the dark elves, but he didn't cry!" Angel added details.
"Only Sperian's water ball hit the dark elf!" Budno exclaimed. "His magic is the most powerful!"
The three little fairies talked one after another, describing Shu Li as heroic and brave, making him feel embarrassed.
Is the brave little elf they are talking about really me?
He was actually very scared along the way. If it weren't for Kumandi's fearless resistance, they would have fallen into the hands of the dark elves long ago.
As for the last moment, Kumandi fell into a coma, and they had no choice but to fight to the death.
Mr. Big Snake gave Shu Li many gifts, including a bottle of its venom. In the critical moment, he thought quickly and took advantage of the dark elf's inattention to dip the dagger in snake venom, and then used himself as bait to get close to him.
Sure enough, the dark elf fell into the trap.
However, he underestimated the dark elf's strength, and the snake venom did not spread fast enough, giving him the opportunity to counterattack.
His head was almost crushed.
He never expected that at the critical moment, the domineering little Corolla saved his life.
And the Elf King suddenly appeared as if descended from God.
Shu Li's mood calmed down, she shook her pointed ears, and her face turned red after being flattered by her friends.
