Chapter 218: Rest Between the Scenes

Perhaps it was the previous tirade and the last shout that consumed the woman's last body, after which she closed her eyes and never spoke again.

Lu Xi was about to say something to himself in the future, but he waited for a long time and didn't respond, and when he took a closer look, he found that she had stopped breathing. Pale and bloodless face, but for some reason there was a faint smile.

"When you laugh, you really look like an elf." Lu Xi was full of indescribable feelings, looked at the other party's remains and sighed: "In the end, I don't know your name." ”

"...... Grace"

"What?"

"Gerslit. Mother's name ......," said the little girl with the white ghost.

"Sure enough, a typical drow name. What about you? ”

"Akdina." The little girl said, "My name is Akdina." ”

"You have a good name, too. In the ancient elven language, this means auspiciousness, right? Lu Xi looked at the little girl with a sad face: "Let's take your mother ...... Buried, right? ”

"I'll help too, and I'll do it as a thought." Artoria said.

The three of them found a place with soft soil, which happened to be high above the stone platform, and below it was the ruins of the entire town. Everyone worked together, of course, mainly Lu Xi and Artoria to help, and soon dug a pit that could accommodate one person. Artoria found a relatively intact piece of linen from the rubble and carefully wrapped the body of Gusrite - there was no way, the conditions did not allow them to get their hands on the coffin. And even human civilians often substitute linen when they can't afford coffins.

After the body is placed. Lu Xi took one last look at the little girl beside him: "Akdina, is it okay?" ”

Akdina took one last deep look at her mother. Finally, he nodded silently. Lu Xi and Artoria looked at each other, and then began the final work.

During the time that her mother's body was covered with little by little dirt, the girl did not say a word, nor did she cry, or rather, her tears had dried up.

Lu Xi found a sturdy stone slab and made a tombstone, on which he carved a few lines in Elven language and the world's most common Oakland language: "Here rests a drow elven woman, Gesrite, a poor woman punished by the sins of her ancestors." Although she lost her elven appearance, the pride of the elves did not leave her soul for a moment. ”

Akdina looked at the words on the tombstone. There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

The three of them stood quietly in front of Gesrite's grave for a while before discussing their next steps.

Originally, Lu Xi and Artoria's original intention was to find something to eat, but then because the matter became more and more urgent, they forgot about the hunger in their stomachs. Now, when the matter is over, the empty stomach makes the two of them feel extremely uncomfortable again.

In any case, you can only continue on the road if you have your stomach full.

Lu Xi originally wanted to say that if he cut off the wings of the winged man, he might be able to use them to make large heart-shaped chicken wings, but considering the current situation, it is really difficult to tell such a heavy joke. Besides, with Akdina's current psychological condition, maybe she really did it, and finally decided to give up.

Lu Xi thought about it for a moment and pushed away a ruin with an arcane hand. The body of the snow monster was dug up.

The huge predator had been disemboweled, and its internal organs and intestines were running all over the ground, but its fur and flesh were still relatively intact. If in normal times. Lu Xi didn't mind peeling the skin again, and the complete snow monster fur could be exchanged for three-digit gold coins when he got Neosfia. But now I don't have that time to spare. He took the dagger and cut open the fur on the snow monster's back and removed a large piece of tenderloin. Then he was ready to barbecue with an iron signature, and then he hesitated again and asked the little girl next to him, "...... Is it OK to eat cooked food? ”

"We can't digest the cooked ......" Akdina shook her head and smiled miserably, "But don't worry about me, I've already eaten ......"

The sympathy on Artoria's face became more and more obvious, and Lu Xi sighed helplessly: "Even if you have eaten it, you must eat it, and we have to prepare to hurry." ”

He cut off a portion of the raw meat with a knife and handed it to Akdina, watching as the other man began to open his mouth and bite the raw meat. Even if he had already been mentally prepared and had seen a lot before, he was still a little numb in his heart when he saw such a cute Lori face drinking blood.

"They...... It's really pathetic. Artoria shook her head and sighed again, her face full of girlish pity and sadness.

"What a mistake made by the times!" Lu Xi said while roasting the meat: "However, it is now a new era, and it is time to put an end to such mistakes." ”

"Lu Xi has decided to help them?" Artoria looked at Lu Xi in surprise, but then showed a hint of hesitation: "But...... What to do with the Demon God's Sealing Circle? ”

"If the circle is really impregnable, then there is no shortage of resentful guardians. Although there is a suspicion of disrespect to the ancestor in this way, no matter how magical the formation laid by the great sage, it is a dead thing after all. In my opinion, if a dead thing can trap the demon god for a thousand years, it can already be regarded as a complete merit. Speaking of this, Lu Xi couldn't help but think of another Demon God Seal that had been destroyed in the Norda Forest, "Anyway, our enemies have already begun to act. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and blindly waiting for the other party to act is not a matter after all. Artoria, maybe in a little while, the Dawn Alliance will need to be rebuilt again. ”

In addition, all kinds of incongruous strange things that happened in the Black Man City couldn't help but be brought to mind. But don't forget, there is also a demon god seal in the Black Forest, and it is precisely because of this that Nanoka and Fett rushed to the Black Man.

I wonder what happened to the two of them? Also, what does the arrival of the wind have to do with Atlas? Strictly speaking, she is also a descendant of Laxis's family, and she will never know less about the Demon God Seal than herself.

"Lu Xi, what do you mean......" Artoria looked at Lu Xi in a daze, as if her brain was a little insufficient.

"Let's talk slowly on the road. But you don't have to worry, I said it a long time ago, even if the demon god is really resurrected, we can break him once, and we can do it a second time! Lu Xi comforted the girl and said: "The first task now is to take the little girl to find her people, second, to obtain the staff of the World Tree to liberate them, third, to get out of here, fourth, to meet everyone, fifth, to protect those demons fiercely, and sixth, to find Valhalla to help you complete the trial." The matter of the Demon God's seal is the so-called long-term planning......"

"Valhalla...... This, in fact, I don't want to anymore. As long as everyone is safe, I will be satisfied. Artoria buried her head and said in a deep voice: "After all, it was because of my misjudgment that everyone fell into such a ......"

"I told you, it's not your fault. The next unfamiliar dungeon will always encounter all kinds of unexpected situations, and misjudgment is inevitable, but as long as there is no team annihilation, there is still a chance of success. Lu Xi couldn't help but reach out and stroke Artoria's soft blonde hair, and said softly: "What's more, there have been no losses so far, how can you retreat?" That's the main purpose of our climb. ”

How could you not want to? Girl, do you know how fatal it is to have titles like "King of Masturbation" if the mission fails?

Hearing the sound of "ziz" from the barbecue next to him, Lu Xi quickly took it down from the fire and handed it to Artoria, and then began to roast the second piece.

"Hurry up and eat. There is also the possibility of a battle breaking out in a while, and it is a point to be able to recover a part. ”

Artoria was not pretentious, after expressing her gratitude to Lu Xi, she took the steak, began to chew, and after eating two bites, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, who are those mysterious guys who appeared at the beginning and then retreated?" ”

"An organization capable of mass-loading alchemical weapons, and such a large number of well-trained killer teams that are forbidden by order...... As far as I know, there is only the famous Dark Brotherhood that can stop children crying at night. ”

"Dark Brotherhood ......" Artoria pondered the somewhat unfamiliar name for a moment, and showed a distressed expression, "Even I've heard of this name." Those guys are really tricky. ”

"But we don't have to worry too much. The Dark Brotherhood is no longer as fanatical as it used to be, and is now more of a full-fledged business organization. As long as we have no business to do with them, at least we will not become enemies. Speaking of this, Lu Xi glanced at Akdina, who was gulping down raw meat. Speaking of which, the killers of the Brotherhood should also be considered one of the girls' enemies, although for them, this is just an ordinary business.

In order not to make Akdina think too much, Lu Xi had been talking to Artoria in Auckland just now, and it seemed that the little girl didn't understand this time.

"My only concern is the path that Guslitt showed us before she died." Lu Xi nodded towards the cave passage on the other side, "The killers of the Dark Brotherhood also retreated from that passage just now...... If we go this way, we might run into them. At this point, it's hard for me to imagine that the Brotherhood is ignorant of what is going on behind this, and if they also covet the World Tree Scepter, will they fight or talk about it when the time comes? ”

"Of course it's a fight!" Artoria just wanted to say this subconsciously, but considering the current physical condition and combat strength of the two, as well as the oil bottle beside her, she had to be entangled again.

Looking at the knight princess's expression changing in seconds, Lu Xi couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, it's okay, when you can't think of a way, you just need to see the move." I've always done this before. (To be continued......)
