GOR Chapter 617 "Great? Childish? "
Du Wei's face immediately showed the most sincere smile. He laughed a few times, held his head high, and strode towards Luoxue. When he got closer, looking at the warm smile on his face, it was as if he was going to hug the Elf King.
"Mister Luoxue!" Du Wei had already grasped Luoxue's hand with both hands. The expression on his face was as if he had met an old friend of many years. He was excited, gratified, and happy. His voice was emotional as he said, "After we parted years ago in the northwest, I could not sleep at night because I would think of Mister Luoxue's voice and smile. Mister's grace is still vivid in my mind. I was wondering if I would have a chance to meet you on this trip to the north. I did not expect you to know my intentions and invite me first. Even if you did not write to me, I was going to write to you and invite you to come to Yajin City to get drunk!"
These words were spoken so passionately that even the water would boil. Hearing this, Rohart, who was following behind, blushed. He thought to himself, [Our Honorable Duke is really thick-skinned!]
Luoxue's originally calm expression immediately became somewhat unnatural. He coughed and pulled his hand out of Du Wei's hand. He had a strange smile on his face. He glanced at Du Wei and then said with a bitter smile, "Duke, I am afraid you do not mean what you say."
"How could I!" Du Wei immediately said in a serious tone, "I've missed you to death these years."
Luoxue couldn't help but have a strange look in her eyes. Rolling her eyes, she suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Duwei's ear: "I'm afraid you don't 'miss me to death', but 'want me to die'."
Du Wei giggled, "It is the same, it is the same."
Luoxue sighed. Back then, he had chased Du Wei all over the northwest. He had already experienced this Duke of the Tulip Family's black-skinned heart. Now that they met again, although he was speechless, he was not surprised.
Afterwards, Luo Xue and Du-Wei walked arm in arm and entered the fortress in a grand manner.
Along the way, Du Wei could only see that the fortress was still in a state of chaos. The houses, buildings, and streets that had been burned down in the previous days seemed to have not been repaired. There were even some bloodstains on the ground that had been casually washed away with water, leaving behind a faint red color.
There weren't many elves in the fortress. Instead, there were orcs who were busy carrying wood and fodder back and forth. Du Wei couldn't help but be lost in thought as he watched. Most of the beastmen didn't seem to be dressed for battle. Most of the beastmen weren't wearing armor. Instead, they were running back and forth with their arms bare.
This place didn't look like a military fortress, but a bustling construction site.
Luoxue and Du Wei walked casually on the street. Perhaps it was because Luoxue had given special instructions, but along the way, there would be orcs in the distance who would stop and look in their direction. However, no orcs dared to approach them. Even Luoxue didn't bring a single attendant. The two of them walked side by side, arm in arm.
Luoxue carefully observed Du Wei's expression. Seeing Du Wei's eyes flicker, he couldn't help but smile, "Du Wei, this is the second time you've come to this fortress. Unfortunately, when you came last time, I happened to not be here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to wait until today to meet again."
Du Wei thought, If you had been here last time, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape. However, he said, "Unfortunately, if I knew you were here, I would have stayed longer last time and not left in such a hurry."
Luoxue knew that Du Wei was speaking nonsense and wasn't angry. He suddenly said, "Du Wei, what do you think of this fortress?"
When Du Wei heard this, his heart jumped. He thought, I donated money to the Empire's government to build this fortress. Every brick, every tile, every blade of grass, and every tree was my money. I looked over the original design of the fortress. Naturally, I know it like the back of my hand. Do I need you to ask?
Although he thought this, he smiled faintly, "Of course, it's terrible. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been defeated in one night by your sneak attack. "
Luoxue snorted, "You're too polite. The construction of this fortress is very strict. If I didn't have Dragons for me to command, the previous strategy of exhausting the enemy, which depleted the morale of the human defenders, and the sneak attack of the Dragons at night, it would have been very difficult to defeat them. I heard that you were the one who paid for most of the construction of the northern defense line of your country. Even in the design, there were many of your ideas. Since the start of the war, we have suffered a lot. "
When Du Wei heard this, he said faintly, "So what? Didn't you still take it?"
When Luoxue heard this, he smiled faintly, "It seems that Duke Tulip, you don't think highly of this fortress."
Du Wei frowned and didn't understand what he meant.
The two of them walked all the way to the commander's residence in the city. This was originally the commander's residence of the human defenders. After it fell, it naturally became the headquarters of the sinners.
Luoxue and Du Wei walked in through the main door. Du Wei saw that the roads around the commander's residence were clean. The orcs working in the distance didn't dare to come close. There were a few elf warriors standing at the door. They were all wearing silver armor with decorative patterns and were handsome. When they saw Luoxue from afar, they quickly knelt down on one knee.
Originally, it was their own headquarters, but now it had become the enemy's lair. If it were anyone else, they would probably be reminded of the past and would inevitably feel somewhat embarrassed. Du Wei, however, seemed to have a carefree appearance. He walked side by side with Luo Xue and laughed, "Last time you went to my territory, but this time I've come to your home ground. You have to treat me well. Good wine and good food, nothing can be lacking."
The two of them walked into the commander's residence. Du Wei followed Luoxue to a hall that had been prepared in advance. When he looked back, he saw Rohart following behind with a gloomy expression. Seeing Du Wei and Luoxue enter the door, he was hesitating and didn't know whether to follow. However, after glancing at Luoxue, Du Wei deliberately said loudly, "Rohart, come in with us. Sir Luoxue is brimming with talent. If you can get closer to him, you will also benefit greatly. "
At the same time, Du Wei nodded at Luoxue and said with a smile, "This subordinate of mine was originally a bit rash and impetuous. I didn't want to stay here for a while, but after being trained by you, he has become more enlightened. I have to thank you for this."
Luoxue didn't speak. He only smiled faintly and led Du Wei into the hall.
This hall was originally the commander's hall of the human guards. It was the place where the generals of the guards discussed matters. The area was very spacious. However, when the three of them walked in, they saw that the original furnishings, such as weapons and sand tables, had all been removed. There was only a long table and a few chairs inside. Some fruits and other food had already been placed on the table. However, they didn't use utensils to hold them. Instead, they were supported by green leaf-like things.
The elves probably used spells to create many plants on the walls. The vine-like branches covered the walls.
As soon as the three of them walked in, the elves outside immediately closed the door to the hall.
Then, Du Wei heard continuous footsteps outside. In a moment, all the elves in the courtyard had retreated. Not a single one remained.
Du Wei smiled and heard Luoxue say faintly, "We are old friends. Naturally, we have to say some things. It's not good for others to hear. I called everyone out. What we say here won't spread!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xue had already walked to the side of the table by himself and held up a jade green wine cup with both his hands. The wine cup's shape was exquisite and strange, and it seemed to be formed from a jade green and crystalline leaf. There was a faint liquid within it that was light amber in color and extremely glossy. With a light sniff, one would sense a fresh and light fragrance, yet one didn't know what it was.
"This is the wine of the elves. It's very different from the wine made by humans. Come, Du Wei! We haven't seen each other for four years. Let me toast you first! "
As he spoke, Luoxue held up the green wine cup and drank it in one gulp. Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled at Du Wei.
In any case, Du Wei had already come here alone. If Luo Xue wanted to harm him, there was no need for him to do something like taking off his pants and farting. Du Wei's heart was very calm. He raised the wine cup and swallowed it down. When it entered his mouth, it didn't feel spicy at all. Instead, it was like a warm current that flowed down his mouth. Immediately, he felt a comfortable feeling that seeped into his heart and lungs.
Then, the faint warmth quickly spread throughout his body. It was as if his spirit had become stronger.
"This is the secret method of the elves. It's a fruit wine made from six unique plant fruits. And … after drinking it, it's even more beneficial to magic cultivation. I know you're a magician, so I specially prepared such a good thing. Usually, the elders in our clan can only drink this on special days when they hold a memorial ceremony. "
Luoxue put down the wine cup and looked at Du Wei.
Du Wei laughed. He met Luoxue's gaze and deliberately shook his head. "You don't mean what you say. Luoxue, Luoxue. With your cultivation, can't you feel that the magic fluctuations on my body are very different from before? "
Luoxue smiled faintly. "Yes, I feel it. I was just curious. Back then, your magic cultivation was already quite good. I originally thought that after not seeing you for four years, you must have made a breakthrough in your realm. I thought that when we met again, your magic level should have broken through and entered the Saint level. But … I don't know why, but your originally proud magic power cultivation seems to be … "
"Hmph, seems to have disappeared, right?" Du Wei deliberately took the initiative to finish the latter half of Luoxue's sentence. His eyes flashed as he looked at Luoxue.
Luoxue didn't hide it. He sat down calmly and nodded slightly.
Du-Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Reaching out a finger, he gently tapped the wine cup he just drank from on the table. Then, with a flick of his finger, the wineglass that originally looked like a green leaf was flattened by him and once again stretched out into the shape of a flat leaf.
Luoxue's eyes moved and he nodded.
The green leaf on the wine cup looked ordinary, but it was actually an extremely rare item among the Elves. It was the leaf of a magic plant that was specially cultivated by the Elves. This leaf was abnormally strong, and it was a good material used by some of the top powerhouses of the Elves to forge weapons and armor. Other than its sturdiness, it also had a natural magic attribute.
Such a thin leaf looked ordinary but if an orc smashed it with a hammer, he definitely wouldn't be able to flatten it. Du Wei had crushed it lightly with a finger and it had become like this. Also, Luoxue didn't feel any magic fluctuations on Du Wei's body. This was clearly caused by pure strength!
"I didn't expect … you to abandon magic and cultivate martial arts." Luoxue sighed. "This is truly out of my expectations."
As he spoke, a cold light suddenly flashed between his brows. He tapped his finger and the wine cup in front of him immediately emitted threads of faint purple light. It shot towards Du Wei!
Du Wei's expression was calm. Seeing the wine cup fly over, he took a breath and raised his finger to tap it. With a pop, it hit the wine cup and the wine cup immediately spun rapidly in the air and flew back towards Luoxue.
Luoxue's expression was slightly surprised. He raised his right hand and seemed to make a strange gesture. He flicked his hand in the air and the green wine cup suddenly split into six petals. They flew in six directions and shot towards Du Wei at the same time. Six streaks of light as fast as lightning!
A trace of seriousness finally appeared in Du Wei's eyes. He still sat there and watched the six green leaves fly in front of him. Only then did he smile and slowly reach out his hand. He calmly plucked them one by one in the air. His hand was gentle as if he was picking flowers!
His movements didn't seem to be fast, but the six lightning-like rays of light didn't even get close to him. He calmly and slowly plucked the six fragments from the air.
After pinching it in his hand, Du Wei's finger moved, pressed, and pressed. When he retracted his hand, the leaf in front of him had already merged back into a complete green leaf. There was no trace of fragmentation at all.
Seeing this, Luoxue's expression finally changed. He frowned and said, "You … actually entered the Saint level through martial arts? But last time we met, you were still very weak in the field of martial arts. In just four years, you've gone from a beginner to a Saint Level Martial Artist? This is truly shocking! "
Du Wei looked calm on the surface but in reality, he had used almost all of his strength in these seemingly calm moves.
He put down his hand now but because his wrist was already heavy, his back started to sweat.
Although he had an almost abnormal physique, he had only learned martial arts for a short time. Although he was already at the Saint level back then, it was because of the level of magic. Including that time when he killed the Grand Knight of the Holy Order in the arena, it was also because he practiced both magic and martial arts. In addition, the "Bow of the Moon" technique was not purely martial arts to begin with. It originally had the attribute of magic.
Later, when he lost his magic, it was equivalent to losing seventy percent of his abilities. He started practicing martial arts again and recently barely managed to return to the Saint level. However, his realm had already regressed compared to when he went overseas to find Chris. He had used all of his strength just now. Luoxue's attack contained powerful Saint level power. He had used almost all of his strength to forcefully use the rules of time and space. He used slow to fight fast and plucked the six green leaves.
Luoxue was not a fool. His strength was far stronger than Du Wei's. Naturally, he could see that although Du Wei's moves seemed easy, he had used all of his strength. However, for Du Wei to be able to break through to the Saint level in just a few years, this kind of miracle was still shocking.
Sighing, Luoxue looked at Du Wei and smiled. "I was originally worried that your strength had regressed. However, now it seems that you have opened up a new path and walked a path that ordinary people could not imagine. It seems that I do not need to worry about you."
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was very happy and gratified that Du Wei had shown great strength.
Staring at Du Wei for a while, Luoxue asked in a low voice, "Du Wei, what do you think of this war?"
Hearing this, Du Wei could not help but laugh coldly. He shook his head and said, "Your question is too strange. You are invaders. We are only resisting to protect our home. There seems to be no need to ask this kind of question. "
Luoxue smiled softly. "Protect your home … But does this land belong to you humans?"
Du Wei still shook his head. "No one can say for sure what happened ten thousand years ago. However, now we only know that humans have lived here for ten thousand years. Generation after generation, we humans have multiplied on this land and built a civilization. For example, you planted a fruit tree on a piece of land. When the harvest came, a group of outsiders suddenly came and told you that this land belonged to them eight hundred years ago. Therefore, they want you to give up the land and the fruit trees that have already been harvested … Hmph, Luoxue, if it were you, would you be willing? "
Luoxue sighed faintly but shook his head and admitted, "That's right. If it were me, I would not be willing either."
Du Wei nodded. "Most people in this world do not know what happened ten thousand years ago. However, I do know. From my personal point of view, perhaps I also feel a trace of pity for your race that was exiled in the past. However, it is absolutely impossible to ask humans to give up the home that they have lived in for generations! "
Luoxue did not speak.
However, Du Wei continued, "You want to live, you want to survive, and you want to return. These originally could not be said to be wrong. However, just because you want to live, should we give up our home and then all die? Luoxue, you are not brainless like the orcs. You should understand what I mean. "
The Elven King remained silent. Suddenly, he tapped his fingers and asked in a strange tone, "What's the matter?
"But … Du Wei. In the current situation … can you see the end of this war? Can you see it? "
After this question was asked, Du Wei suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly felt a sense of heaviness in his heart. Only then did he laugh bitterly and grab a green wine pot that was shaped like a leaf with a sharp mouth on the table. He poured himself a cup and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he sigh and shake his head. "I can't see it! Or rather … I can't see it for the time being. "
"10 years, 30 years, 50 years … 100 years …" Luoxue's voice was a little hoarse. "Perhaps after you and me, our descendants will continue to fight like this generation after generation! Perhaps you humans can use your vast territory and profound national strength to beat us back again and again. However, we will launch the return war again and again … Perhaps the 'Dark Age' from 10,000 years ago will reappear. No, perhaps it will be far longer than the Dark Age. "
Speaking of this, Luoxue looked at Du Wei. "Do you think that after continuously fighting for 100 years or even longer, what will be left of your human civilization? How much will be left? "
Du Wei was suddenly a little annoyed. He slammed the table hard, glared at Luoxue, and shouted, "That's enough! Luoxue! You don't have to be so compassionate! Don't forget that you are the invaders! You are the ones who started the war! "
"But are we wrong? We just want to survive! "Luoxue narrowed his eyes, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Du Wei sneered and stared into Luoxue's eyes. "You invited me. If you only want to talk nonsense like this, then Luoxue is really disappointed. Luoxue, I'm really disappointed. You also know how to do such boring things! "
Du Wei tried to provoke Luoxue with these words. However, Luoxue did not show a trace of anger when he heard this. Instead, he stood up slowly and walked slowly to the side of the wall. He raised his hand and swept it at the wall.
The wall was originally covered in jade-green and translucent vines, but under Luo Xue's sweep, they suddenly retreated without a sound. After the vines retreated, the bottom of the wall was exposed, and shockingly, something was revealed!
Du Wei followed Luoxue's hand and looked over. With just a glance, he immediately held his breath and widened his eyes, staring intently at the thing on the wall.
In the hall, Rohart had been waiting quietly on the side. No matter whether Du Wei and Luoxue were probing or using sharp words, there was no room for him to interrupt. However, now his eyes were cast on the wall. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly could not help but exclaim in a low voice, "Ah!"
Du Wei stared intently at the thing on the wall for a long time. The expression on his face was uncertain. His lips were tightly pursed, and his fingers could not help but clench into fists.
The hall fell into silence for a while.
After a long time, the three people's breathing gradually calmed down from its heavy state. Du Wei turned his head and stared at Luoxue. "Humph! Luoxue, what are you trying to do by making this thing?! "
Luoxue shook his head and stood by the wall. His eyes stared at the thing on the wall, and he didn't turn his head. Instead, he slowly said, "Duwei, what do you think is the possibility of our two sides, the several races, completely exterminating the other side?"
Du Wei did not pretend at this moment and immediately shook his head. "The possibility is very small, very small. It's easy to win or lose, but it's difficult to completely exterminate the other race! "
"That's it." Luoxue finally turned his head and looked at Du Wei with a smile. "Since we can't exterminate each other, then … why not coexist?"
Du Wei secretly gritted his teeth but narrowed his eyes and looked at the wall again.
On the wall was a map of the mountains and rivers of the Roland Continent!
At this moment, this map had already been divided into several colors … originally, the entire continent was the territory of the Roland Empire. However, on this map, the northern end of the continent included the Frozen Forest, as well as the southern end of the Frozen Forest to the Empire's northern front. The east faced the sea. Starting from the river, all the way west, along the central stronghold, and then to the Kilimanjaro Mountains in the west, everything north of this line of defense had been painted in several other colors!
South of the line of defense, the color of the map was white and marked "Roland Empire."
North of the line of defense, it was divided into several small areas. The original Frozen Forest was painted silver and marked "Elves."
South of the forest and north of the human line of defense, about half a province of land (which was the bitter cold land in the north that the humans had already abandoned) was painted brown and marked "Orcs."
And in the northern section of the Kilimanjaro Mountains in the west, a piece had been cut off and painted black and marked "Dwarves."
"We Elves have never been a race that likes to fight. We only ask for the lowest condition: survival. We don't have any ambition or need for land. We Elves are a race that lives in the forest. This Frozen Forest belonged to us Elves in ancient times. Now that you humans don't need this forest, it's left for us Elves to live in! The Dwarves are not a race that lives on the plains. The mountains are their best home. The northern section of the Kilimanjaro Mountains stretches for thousands of miles and is enough for the Dwarves to live in … The only problem is the Orcs. In terms of living habits, the Orcs are the closest to you humans. They live on the plains and can build houses and build kingdoms. However, when you humans built this line of defense, you already gave up on this piece of land in the north. Although you humans think this land is barren, it's just right for the Orcs to live in … "
Luo Xue said faintly and glanced at Du Wei. "Ten thousand years ago, we once coexisted on the continent. However, because of that accident, it created the current situation for the past ten thousand years. Then, why can't we return to the coexistence of ten thousand years ago? Whether it's humans or us Sinners, we were all once residents of this continent … "
Du Wei suddenly laughed. He made a hand gesture and interrupted Luo Xue's words. Looking at Luo Xue, after a long while, some true sincerity gradually appeared in his eyes. Then, he sighed.
"Luo Xue, oh Luo Xue! What should I say? Should I say that you're very noble? Or should I mock you for being too childish? For being too whimsical? "
