Chapter 366 Inviting the Elf King to Dance
Of course, this was not the first time Shu Li saw the Elf King play Lacias.
This legendary harp has always been an important instrument for elves to hold banquets. Every time I hear the Elf King play the harp, it is a beautiful enjoyment.
Shu Li was not familiar with the scene in front of him.
Since it is unfamiliar, it is not something that happened in the past, but belongs to the future.
Did the Horcrux of the God of Time, with the help of the illusion, allow him to see the future scenes again?
Shu Li rubbed his temples to clear his mind, then opened his eyes and looked around.
He sat in the corner, half of his body blocked by the pillar. Others would not notice him, but he could see the whole place clearly.
There were many elves and fairies in the hall, dancing gracefully to the music of the piano.
Shu Li looked around calmly and was surprised to see the grown-ups of Disio, Angel, Budno, and Kumandi...
According to past experience, this illusion indeed belongs to the future, because he also saw other fairies born in the same batch.
The flow of time in the Snow Mountain Maze is different from that in the outside world. Even the goblins born in the same batch have grown up, which means that more than eighty years have passed in the outside world.
Shu Li leaned against the pillar and looked around curiously.
He didn't see himself.
Or is he now the same person as in the illusion?
Just as Shu Li was about to leave the pillar, a familiar figure appeared. He suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead in a daze.
It is the self in the illusion.
Wearing a flowing fairy robe, with loose curly golden hair and a silver forehead ring, she walked lightly towards the throne.
The other goblins and elves made way for them, and when his own illusionary self passed by Ilio, Ilio winked at him playfully.
In the illusion, he turned his head and glared at Ilio, two suspicious red clouds appearing on his white jade face. Ilio chuckled and walked quickly forward to the throne.
The Elf King, who was playing the piano, looked at him tenderly in the illusion.
In the illusion, he took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak to the Elf King.
The Elf King nodded, put down his harp, and stood up from the throne.
In the illusion, he turned around and walked towards the balcony outside the hall. He was so nervous that he almost walked with his hands and feet together, which caused a lot of good-natured laughter.
The Elf King raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed him slowly.
Soon, they stepped onto the balcony.
The beautifully shaped balcony is like a small enclosed space, isolating itself from the hustle and bustle of the hall. Two figures can be vaguely seen standing side by side.
Shu Li hesitated for half a minute, then took advantage of the pillars to transform into a small size, flew along the edge of the hall, and flew to the small balcony.
There is a large potted plant on the balcony, which is a perfect hiding place.
Shu Li held his breath, quietly landed in the potted plant, hid behind a large leaf, and poked out his little head, wanting to know what important matter the Elf King had asked him to come out for in the illusion.
After waiting for a long time, the balcony was quiet and no one spoke.
Shu Li was getting impatient and scratching his head.
If you have something to say, say it now, don’t waste time!
After a while, he finally spoke in the illusion.
"King...Tomorrow I will go to the Snow Mountain Labyrinth to look for the Water Spirit."
"Well, do you need my help?" asked the Elf King.
"No, no need." He waved his hand quickly in the illusion, "I'm an adult now, I can handle things on my own."
The Elf King asked with concern, "Are you going alone?"
In the illusion, he replied, "No, go with the rest of Team Light."
The Elf King was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Be careful."
In the illusion, he smiled confidently. "I will!"
The Elf King raised his hand and stroked his hair, his green eyes full of tenderness and affection.
In the illusion, he looked shy, and like a kitten, he rubbed his head against the Elf King's hand.
Shu Li, who was hiding in the potted plant, was filled with shock.
What's going on?
If this is the future, why hasn't he gone to the snow mountain maze to look for the water spirit after he grew up in the illusion?
If not the future, when did this happen?
Many images flashed through Shu Li's mind. He remembered that after entering the tenth floor, he stayed in a hotel with the Elf King and had a strange dream at night.
In his dreams, he was repeatedly killed by the God of Darkness.
The circumstances of each death are different.
Until he fought alongside the Elf King and stabbed the God of Darkness with his magic sword, the war finally ended.
At that time, he regarded the dream as a warning from the Horcrux.
The future will develop in different directions. Only by grasping the present can we choose the path that is most beneficial to ourselves.
The illusion before my eyes must be a certain future!
It was obvious that his journey to the Snow Mountain Maze alone would be a failed one. Combined with his previous dreams, he could know that he would die at the hands of the Dark God's clone.
Shu Li looked at the elves and goblins that were getting closer and closer, with a confused look on his face.
Why did the Horcrux let him see this future? What did it want to tell him?
It was not until he saw himself and the Elf King kissing each other lips in the illusion that Shu Li was so shocked that he almost rushed out of the potted plant.
ah?
"…Moon Goddess Meterrena
Asad Mighat, God of the Sun
We sang and danced, praising the gods..."
As "Song of Creation" came to an end, the illusion before his eyes vanished into thin air, and Shu Li's consciousness returned to reality.
In the center of the hall, people who had eaten and drunk their fill danced lightly in pairs.
Shu Li blinked and turned to look at the nearby Elf King, only to see that he was talking to Pulsi. As if sensing his gaze, the Elf King's emerald green eyes turned slightly and looked at him.
Shu Li hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his sight, pretending to be busy pouring herself a glass of wine. She took a big gulp and used the action of drinking to cover up her guilty conscience.
"Sperian, do you want to dance?" Angel invited him.
Shu Li put down the empty cup and waved his hand: "No, no, I need to eat something else."
Angel looked at him suspiciously. "Your face is so red. Are you drunk?"
Shu Li immediately touched her slightly hot cheeks. "Is... is that so? Maybe my face is red from drinking, but I'm not drunk."
He is very conscious and can still think, so it is impossible for him to be drunk.
As the body grows, the alcohol tolerance increases, and drinking four or five glasses is not a problem.
Angel shrugged and went to dance with Disceo.
Shu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and poured himself another glass of wine. This time he drank more slowly, letting his thoughts wander while he drank.
Since childhood, many illusions and dreams related to the future have reminded him that he and the Elf King will be a loving couple in the future.
However, in reality, he still doesn't have the courage to confess his feelings to the Elf King.
Eighty-five years might be just a blink of an eye for the immortal species that often live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, but for Shu Li, who was once a human, it was quite long.
Although I have been busy with war and studies in recent years, I still have some free time.
Once people have free time, they tend to think about all sorts of things.
For example, thinking about how to turn his secret love for the Elf King into an open love.
I don’t know if he was exerting his strength in the wrong direction, or if the Elf King just didn’t get it. In short, no matter how he tried to show goodwill, the Elf King turned a blind eye.
Well, or rather, it’s not that he turned a blind eye, but that he didn’t understand at all.
The Elf King was very gentle to him, but this gentleness was like the doting of an elder to a younger one, without any extra emotion mixed in.
After many times, Shu Li became frustrated and gradually gave up. He tried to divert his attention and temporarily put aside his feelings for the Elf King.
After drinking a glass of wine, Shu Li burped and continued to pour himself more wine.
Perhaps it was the alcohol that made his mind more and more active, and a bunch of sour bubbles popped up in his heart.
He just didn't understand. In the illusion, he and the Elf King were so affectionate, but why was he having such a hard time in love in reality?
What exactly is the problem?
"call--"
After drinking four or five glasses of wine in a row, Shu Li felt light all over and the people in front of him became double shadows.
He pressed his hands on the table, propped himself up, took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and walked to the Elf King with firm steps.
"King, may I invite you to dance?"
He bent down slightly and made an elegant gesture to invite someone to dance.
Everyone around looked over, their eyes sparkling.
The Elf King looked into Shu Li's eyes, which were as bright as the morning stars, put down his wine glass, and replied with a smile, "Yes."
He took the blonde's hand, stood up from his seat, and followed the other's footsteps onto the dance floor.
Shu Li was in a good mood.
He knew that the Elf King would not reject him.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he blinked his tender green eyes, and asked more aggressively: "Wang~ Can you dance the female steps?"
When two men dance together, one of them always has to do the female steps.
Shu Li's request was not excessive, but it seemed strange if the target was the Elf King.
Those around him who heard his words showed admiration in unison.
Sperian is such a brave goblin!
And will the Elf King agree to his request?
Under Shu Li's expectant gaze, the Elf King opened his lips slightly and said "OK".
"Plop, plop, plop—"
Shu Li heard the sound of his own heartbeat speeding up, swallowed subconsciously, tilted his head back, and stammered, "Then... I'll just do the male steps!"
Although it was not the first time to dance with the Elf King, my body was extremely stiff with tension, my mind was tense, and my brain was confused. I suddenly forgot how to start.
