It happened so fast that Ravel could not react in time.
Just when he thought he was about to be killed by the Dark Elf, the voice from the Weave saved his life.
Now, Ravel sat quietly in front of the Dark Elf. The crazy expression on the Dark Elf's face gradually calmed down.
She had been communicating with someone through the Weave in a language that Ravel could not understand.
Ravel guessed that it was a language unique to the elves. He observed the change in the Dark Elf's expression, from surprise to disdain and finally despair.
He looked up at the Dark Elf in front of him. They were less than two meters apart. The Dark Elf could easily take her life.
"How long have you been here?"
The Dark Elf suddenly asked Ravel in the human language.
"Seventeen … days."
Ravel had also used the voice communication function of the SMS. He knew that his conversation with the Dark Elf would be overheard by the king.
The Dark Elf was the only existence in the dungeon that he could communicate with. Although she was dangerous … she was also an excellent source of information.
"Seventeen days." A contemptuous smile appeared on the Dark Elf's face. "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"
Ravel was reminded of this. An icy blue inscription appeared on his hand, and a mirror made of water appeared in front of him.
The man in the mirror was very haggard. His eyes were deeply sunken, and his messy beard was stuck together.
Ravel could not believe that the person in the mirror was himself. In the past, there was no girl that he could not win over in Frostwolf City. Apart from his family's identity, it was mostly because of his handsome face.
But now, he was a homeless man who had been living on the streets for a long time.
"Anger, regret, sadness … I guess you are losing control of these bad emotions," the Dark Elf said.
"What are you trying to say?"
Ravel clenched his fists. The wounds on his palms were still aching.
He could still maintain his sanity now because he saw hope that he could be saved. But the anger in his heart was rising.
"You are just like the humans who came here." The Dark Elf's lavender eyes swept across the group of people behind Ravel.
"When they were first imprisoned here by the Nephilic Judges, the generals, the knights, the soldiers … none of them gave up hope. They planned to escape from here, but they failed. At that time, the Nephilic Judges would still send people to guard this place," the Dark Elf said.
Ravel turned around to look at the humans behind him. They were clearly alive, but they looked like corpses. What had happened to them to turn them into such a state?
The more Ravel thought about it, the more his fears gained the upper hand.
The Dark Elf seemed to enjoy the human's fear. Just as she was about to continue her … prank, Ravel's Weave once again rang with an unfamiliar voice.
"That … unknown Dark Elf lady, you don't have to reveal any more secrets. I can roughly guess the situation in the cell. It should be a mental illness caused by the Grey Fog."
"Who are you?"
The Dark Elf's lavender eyes were fixed on the glowing interface in front of Ravel.
"Me? I have a lot of titles in this world. You elves call me the Child of the Forest, but I personally think it's more appropriate to call me the World Tree Gardener. "
"Children of the Forest? Humans? I don't believe you … "
"I don't have time to care about whether you believe me or not. I just want to ask you one thing."
He forcefully interrupted the Dark Elf's sarcasm again.
"Do you want to leave this damned place and seek revenge from the Nephilic Judges?"
"I don't have much time left. There's no point in leaving this place."
The Dark Elf seemed to have guessed that Josiah could see her through Ravel's eyes. She showed Josiah her hands. The skin on her hands was gradually turning from purple to gray.
"Before this human came, I had been in a state of hibernation. The Grey Fog and despair had eroded my consciousness and soul. If I hadn't heard the voice of my kind just now, I might have become like those humans." The Dark Elf's voice gradually became distorted. Finally, she calmly closed her eyes. "Everything is over."
"You look like you're going to die soon. Don't you want to see your kind, my lady?"
She furrowed her brows slightly and opened her eyes again.
"This is my last wish. Human, my lifespan is more than a hundred times that of yours. There's nothing in this world that I care about."
"Well, Ravel, don't worry about him. If you feel that you can't control your emotions, open the first episode of 'Tom and Jerry'. It should be able to save your emotions."
Don't worry about him?
The only person in the dungeon that he could communicate with, no matter how he looked at it, was a key figure!
Ravel did not dare to refute the 'Flame Bearer'. When he was added to the group, the king had ordered that the status of the 'Flame Bearer' should be equal to hers.
He took one last look at the Dark Elf. The Dark Elf sat on the ground with her eyes closed, like an old man sleeping peacefully. The gray on her arms had gradually spread to her shoulders.
The anger in Ravel's heart was getting more and more uncontrollable.
For the past 15 days, he had been relying on the song called 'The Phoenix' on the Magic Net. The song always gave him hope to live again, but as time went by, the emotional uplift brought by the song became weaker and weaker.
Ravel obeyed Josiah's order and opened the first episode of 'Tom and Jerry'.
A blue cat and a walking mouse appeared in front of him. There was also a symphony that Ravel had not heard for a long time.
A moving painting?
Ravel had never seen a movie before, but he had seen some short films on the Magic Net Vision.
This kind of moving painting was very rare in his eyes. The style was slightly childish in the eyes of Ravel, who was used to seeing all kinds of oil paintings.
Although it was childish, Ravel was soon attracted by the little mouse running hard in the picture.
The episode of 'Tom and Jerry' lasted less than ten minutes. During this time, the judge still did not appear in the corridor.
After watching 'Tom and Jerry' in silence, Ravel touched the corner of his mouth. He had not stopped smiling since the beginning of the story.
For Ravel, who had been living under oppression and despair for a long time, this cat and mouse had saved his life.
When Ravel finished watching 'Tom and Jerry', he suddenly noticed that the Dark Elf sitting in front of him had opened her eyes.
Her lavender eyes were fixed on Ravel's Magic Net interface.
"Gardener, about this strange cat and mouse, is there … anything else?" the Dark Elf asked aloud.
