With Artoria's awe-inspiring shout, Aldin almost instinctively had a trace of trance, and his eyes drifted behind him. This brief distraction was only half a second at most, but it was enough for Lu Xi to react. He raised his left hand vigorously, and the staff swayed against the spine of the opponent's sword, and with another flick, the sharp blade of the opponent's hair-breaking sword finally left his neck. The staff that has used up the Instant Magic Storage Slot is basically useless until it is charged, but after all, it is made of ironwood, and it is better than a burning stick.

Lu Xi used one of the tricks of the Iron Thorn Staff Technique that he had just started to wield away the Wingman's long sword, and then rolled over to the dying female white ghost, hugged her and the little girl, and jumped to the side with the last of his strength. Just when he had just finished this whole set of actions, the brilliant sword qi that exuded brilliant brilliance had already roared from the side and back, and the winged man Alding was shrouded in a pillar of light like a pillar of sword qi before he even had time to make a defensive move, and he was decomposed and evaporated without even screaming, and his bones were gone.

The sword qi did not stay after killing the winged man, and it did not disappear until the mountain behind it "rumbled" out of a huge hole. If it weren't for Lu Xi's quick eyes, the two female white ghosts, one big and one small, would definitely be affected.

“…… A little overdone, Artoria. Lu Xi shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" Artoria's voice came from a distance, "Because the body hasn't recovered yet, I can't control the power of the sword qi like before." ”

"I don't blame you, it's just that I want to complain subconsciously without responsibility." Lu Xi put the large and small white ghosts in his arms, or the distorted drow elves, on the ground. walked in the direction where the sword qi came from, and then helped the crumbling knight princess.

This blow was a huge and brilliant sword aura. Although the power of the artifact itself is used, it still requires the girl to rely on her body to feel the entire process of sword energy from gathering, forming to release. There is even a need to bear the recoil of the final blow. If it was when she was healthy, it was nothing, but for her who was seriously injured now, it was by no means an easy burden. Just this blow, she felt that the strength that her body had gathered with great difficulty disappeared again, and she was weak and weak, and it was good luck that she didn't get hurt or injured.

Well, now that there is a guarantee from the system, the "destiny" winged man brother will not suddenly resurrect this time like a protagonist with a heart on the left. Compared to this, the upgrade of the title is not worth mentioning at all.

"Well done. Artoria. It's called teamwork...... Lu Xi said as he helped Artoria.

It's a pity that Artoria, who is full of knights, once again fell into a state of self-loathing, as if she didn't hear Lu Xi's words at all: "I actually attacked again...... What to do? If you continue like this, you won't be able to be a knight again......"

Therefore, once the festival is too full. It's easy to drill the tip of the horns, and the so-called "gentleman deceives him" is this truth.

"It doesn't matter, you can't be a knight. Don't you still have such a promising job as an empress? Lu Xi was so comforted.

Artoria finally couldn't help but look at Lu Xi, and sighed helplessly. There is a miserable feeling of "alas, just accept your fate". She looked at the white ghost who was crying beside her mother. Well, or the little girl of the former Drow Elf, her heart is full of indescribable complexities: "They...... How's it going? ”

"Estimate the likelihood of being saved...... Not too. "I've already been seriously injured enough, and I was hit by several crossbow bolts just now in order to serve as a shield for my daughter, you know, it's an alchemy weapon specially developed to deal with the white ghosts and blue people who are afraid of flames.

Lu Xi was also very uncomfortable in his heart.

Prior to this, he had been saying that these white ghosts were regarded as some kind of barbarian monsters that had just entered the Stone Age, and of course they would not regard their lives too seriously, and even in their bones, they only regarded each other as some kind of humanoid monster that could brush experience, and they were also the objects that must be excluded from the "Laxis's Tomb and Valhalla" dungeon strategy.

However, when he guessed the origin of the other party and the tragic history, he really couldn't bear it in his heart, and he felt a little guilty about seeing the white ghost kill immediately.

Lu Xi helped Artoria to the white ghost woman, and then couldn't help but let out a hint of surprise. Even if she was hit by several arrows on her body, even if the wounds on her hands and feet were still bleeding out, the female white ghost was still alive, she also looked at Lu Xi with a very complicated expression, and then looked at the little girl beside her, her eyes gradually gentle, full of maternal brilliance that could not be looked at.

Sure enough, no matter in any era, any world, or any race, the greatest and most unoffending is the mother.

As if sensing Lu Xi and Artoria walking in, the little girl jumped up, stretched out her weak arms to block her dying mother, she shivered in the face of the two, and had no intention of backing down at all. The little face was full of fear, but it was also very determined. After all, until this time, whether the two sides were friends or enemies, even Lu Xi himself couldn't tell, let alone the little girl.

The two of them couldn't help but stop, but the little girl suddenly thought of something, and suddenly fell to her knees with a pop. looked at his mother behind him, and then pointed to Lu Xi's waist. In an eager tone, he said, "Medicine...... Medicine...... Please! ”

"I'm sorry......" Lu Xi looked at the little girl, and then at the woman. Slowly, in Elven language, he said, "I can't save you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the little girl couldn't help but be stunned. After a few seconds, she seemed to realize the true meaning of Lu Xi's words, and tears suddenly fell like beads with broken threads.

"I know." The woman stretched out her hand and carefully stroked her daughter's hair, looking seriously at her weeping swollen eyes, small nose, and lips, as if she couldn't see enough: "As a descendant of the golden bloodline." Now it has become such a picture of people and ghosts, and living is a kind of torment, maybe only when you die, will you look like an elf. ”

"Anyway, I'm sorry......" Artoria said in a very sincere tone, hanging her head.

"Oh, why do you apologize?" The white ghost looked at the knight princess and said in a sarcastic tone, "The ...... in your hand It's the sword of victory of the oath, right? Then it should be the future Nord Empress. Our clan is also a feud among the Nords. Apologize to your enemies, it's not like you Nords. ”

"Even if it's a feud. It is enough to defeat and destroy the other side on the battlefield with dignity, but to make a nation suffer such imprisonment and suffering for generations is beyond the realm of hatred. Artoria sighed slightly: "I am a member of the royal family of Arnor, and I have no position to make irresponsible remarks about the contract of the ancestor Laxis...... But. I still feel a little too much. ”

"At that time, it was quite normal." The white ghost, or rather, the former dark elf, looked at the knight princess with sincerity on his face. The tone gradually softened: "The drow of our clan is actually the Everhart family. At that time, the most famous drow in the dungeon, he was also the one who was called the 'Oath Abandoner' by the Dawn Alliance at that time. ”

"I see...... Everhart? Then I probably understand why the Great Sage made such a choice back then. Lu Xi let out a sigh.

"What does this family mean?" Artoria asked.

"The dungeon elf city-state of the year. A very fierce civil war broke out, and the old families continued to perish, and new families also rose, and the Everhardts were the most likely to unify the whole of the great princes. Lu Xi stroked the hilt of the Sword of the Knight of Dawn at his waist and said slowly: "In the early days of the outbreak of the Battle of Qiming, because the civil war had entered the most critical stage, the dark elves did not send troops to join the alliance. The Drow Elves believe in Leto, the goddess of the night, who is not among the twelve spirits and has remained neutral in the War of the Gods, but is generally a good god. In the eyes of Pahn, the Knight of Dawn, all allies who can unite can become an important force in the rebellion against the Six Demon Gods, and the Drow Elves are no exception. ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then Pahn took a small number of guards and went to the dungeon state alone, city by city, to convince the dark elf princes of the time. His sincerity and fearlessness convinced most of the Dark Elf city-states, and in the end, only the House of Everhart remained. The current patriarch of the family, Orida the Black Spider, invites Pahn to the feast. Many people advised Parn to be careful, but he himself believed that since he wanted the other party to give up his vested interests, he had to show the utmost sincerity...... But the result was the most suffocating scene in the entire Qiming War period. ”

"Scarlet Night...... Even if Artoria is not very good at history, it is impossible that she has not heard of this legend.

Of course, this story is not just a legend for Lu Xi. The only survivor of the "Scarlet Night" was the widow of the Knight of Dawn Payne, who brought Lu Xi up, and the current Norda High Priest Tidlit.

After eating the salt and bread offered by the other party, Pahn let down her guard. He never imagined that his kindness was exchanged for the killing intent of the other party, the poisonous elven liquor, the poisonous elven dagger, and the ambush of demons and orcs. The Dawn Knight's own guards died tragically under the sword of the sneak attacker, and even the Heart of the Holy Spring could not withstand such injuries and poison, and when he fought his lover out of the siege with the courage of ten thousand people, he finally died in his lover's arms.

In the ancient covenant of this world, the rights of the guests must be secured. If you eat the bread and salt offered by your host, you are a guest, even if both parties are enemies of life and death. At the very least, the safety of the other party must be ensured at the table. If the feast is over, it is another matter to decide whether to live or die.

This is an ancient convention. Even the Demon God has never disobeyed.

However, the drow elves of House Everhart did it. Since then, it has also brought the entire family into a desperate situation. The subsequent development was not as the manipulator behind such a thing thought, the Dawn Alliance fell apart after the death of the leader, and the good friend who was a hundred times darker than the Dawn Knight with a pure heart and noble character, the founding emperor of the Holy Spring Dynasty, Kenoeus, soon inherited the heart and legacy of the friend, and turned into a cold-blooded avenger, bringing the Qiming War into the counteroffensive stage.

However, none of this qiē has anything to do with Tidlet. She returned to her hometown of Norda with her lover's body, and lived in seclusion all year round, washing her face with tears all day long. According to the Wood Elves. Before Lu Xi came to the Norda Forest, no one could see a smile on the face of the High Priest, including his own sister Nivea......

"Ereda has actually converted to the bloodthirsty king Parkens, because the so-called god of war can give her more power than the goddess of the night, especially the power of war. However, what really prompted Orida to do such a wrath at the banquet was because she was bewitched by the Nightmare King Belatmea. The words of the female white ghost quickly brought Lu Xi out of his memories: "But I did such a thing. Naturally, there will be punishment. Ereda fled with the remnants of her family to the Arel Plateau, where she lived in seclusion at the foot of the mountain. At that time, this was a deserted frontier place, and it was supposed to be a place to recuperate, but she made another mistake...... Attempt to seize the treasure of the Great Sage of Laxis, which seals the soul of the god of war. ”

Artoria's face turned pale. Speechless, Lu Xi couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh: "That's why you are called oathbreakers?" So. Did the gods first want to punish you with such cruelty? ”

"The Great Sage has invited the divine power of Uton, the goddess of judgment, to turn into a guardian contract that binds us. Our range of activity is limited to the distorted appearance of the mausoleum. Life expectancy is shortened and fertility decreases. The intelligence of men is blocked, and only one baby girl can be born out of hundreds of babies at the same time......" The female white ghost showed a wistful smile: "This qiē is all for our population and strength. Because what the contract needs is only a group of slaves who can hold the dungeon circle and artifacts, not a new race and a new force. ”

"But even so, you still harass the northern frontier of the empire year after year," Artoria couldn't help but exclaim.

"Because, many people think, this day is enough. The contract only limits the scope of our activities, restricting us from protecting the circle and artifacts, but it does not limit us from taking the initiative. As a result, some tribesmen simply raided the Nord villages, in order to vent their anger and at the same time to plunder the necessities of life. Life in the cave, you also see...... Of course, in a sense, it should also be a kind of suicidal self-abandonment, right? The female white ghost showed a miserable smile: "Of course, there should be very few clansmen who have such an idea after the overlord built that Jingguan." ”

Artoria was once again speechless. She suddenly felt that the magnificent building that the overlord used to show off his martial arts suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"There were about 50,000 people in our clan at their peak, plus a large number of the king of the hill and the great sage of the year, who reasonably made hook-mounted puppets and used the principle of the Luxis forbidden spell to operate, so it was naturally no problem to use them to protect the magic circle and artifacts. However, since the great battle with the overlord, too many clansmen, mainly women, have died in battle, and there have been many voids in the garrison around the dungeon of the destruction of the clan. ”

"Coupled with the possibility of the leading party, the defense measures set up by the great sage back then are probably full of loopholes." Lu Xi nodded. In this way, all the puzzles are solved.

"Young man, you just said that you are also a descendant of Laxis, right?" The female white ghost looked at Lu Xi's eyes, and her tone seemed to be getting slower and slower, and she should be gradually reaching her limit.

"If you have any wishes, I will try to help you, as long as it does not violate my principles and is not too troublesome."

"Don't worry, it won't be too much trouble." The corners of the female white ghost's mouth curled slightly: "Continue to the cave to the east, and in two or three days at most, you will find another clan's town, which is the new village established by my sister Hurley." Please send my daughter over...... Then warn them that the intruders are coming! It's time for us to finally fulfill our covenant! ”

"This ...... "Isn't this troublesome?"

(System: Trigger the C-level side quest "Protecting Childhood.") Mission Description: Return the White Ghost Lori to Hurley's village. Reward: 3000 XP, 5 attribute points. Quest Failure Penalty: Relational Artifact quest "World Tree Scepter". ）

"Well, if you're willing to trust me." Lu Xi looked at the little girl who was crying, and nodded with a very solemn attitude.

"Thank you very much." The white ghost finally smiled, and then out of nowhere she found a black ring: "When you meet Hurley, give this to her." She'll tell you the way out...... In the same way, she will tell you to get to the location of the artifact. Young mage, if you are really a descendant of Laxis, you might as well give it a try, get the approval of the World Tree Scepter, and ...... Liberate us! Let's die as elves! (To be continued......)
