As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, the endless light and heat it brought with it gradually faded away. At this moment, something unexpected happened. As the sun set, Melody's body began to deteriorate and she sank into a semi-conscious state.
Her eyes were tightly shut as she leaned against Sheyan's chest without any hesitation. She tightly grasped her hand that was protecting her. Her delicate and smooth skin was white and translucent. Her lips even had a trace of a smile. Only when her brows were relaxed and occasionally furrowed, one would know that she was actually being tormented by pain.
The group glanced at each other. Without a doubt, whether it was Elrond or Glorfindel, both of them would definitely have trusted subordinates guarding Rivendell. If Melody didn't enter Rivendell with the Ring of Air, Vilya, then all their plans would be as illusory as a mirage.... the only outcome of entering Rivendell rashly was to be captured and taken away.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Sheyan. Sheyan had obviously become the core of the group. After pondering a little, he earnestly said.
"Sir Vilya was created with the mission of protecting the divine artifact of the elven race. Although there is still a period of time for it to adapt to His Majesty Sunstrider, it is definitely not a malicious curse, nor is it fatal!"
"Therefore, let us hurry on our way. We will find a place to rest for the night near Rivendell. Tomorrow morning, we will send someone into Rivendell. After confirming that there are no problems, we will enter together with Her Majesty Melody. Right now, our only concern is Legolas and Galadriel. However, they wouldn't rush 800 kilometres back to Rivendell without knowing. Therefore, even if we delay our plan, it will still be as stable as Mt. Tai. There won't be any risks. "
Sheyan's analysis was reasonable. The group nodded in agreement. Roughly 3 hours later, they arrived at the back of a hill less than 10 kilometres away from Rivendell. If they proceeded any further, they would most likely encounter the patrolling elves.
Therefore, under the influence of the elves' magic, the forest bent and formed a house for their proud bodies. The fishes in the stream automatically leapt to the shore. The bushes also began to move away, forming a dry and spacious clearing. Soon, a blazing bonfire was blazing.
Everyone knew that Melody would definitely need some space to be alone with Sheyan. Hence, they specially constructed a separate forest house for the two of them. It was a certain distance away from the rest of the party, but in case of any emergency, they could still rush over to assist.
The blazing firelight transmitted a comfortable warmth to the two people who were snuggling together. In order to take care of Melody, Sheyan specially ignited two large bonfires. The dried pine branches crackled within the flames, and even the smoke carried a faint fragrance.
Under the influence of the heat, Melody's cheeks flushed red, making her look even more gorgeous. She leaned into Sheyan's embrace, her slender body giving off a soft and boneless feeling.
Moreover, her body fragrance had also changed. Originally, it was a faint fragrance that was fragrant but not strong. Now, it was a very clear fragrance, just like the clear and clean smell of clean clothes after being exposed to the scorching sun. It made people feel happy just by smelling it. Sheyan hugged Melody, as though he was being enveloped by the early summer sun. His entire being became clean, bright and comfortable.
Sheyan spread out his arms and hugged Melody tightly. He then buried his face into her slender shoulders and took a deep breath. He then earnestly said.
"The feeling of hugging you is great."
Melody smiled. Feeling her protector's robust body and breathing in his unique manly scent, her heart was filled with peace and joy. It was as though she had forgotten all her pain and troubles. She slowly leaned against his sturdy shoulders, and couldn't help but open her mouth. An indescribable singing voice was released.
In that instant, the laughter of the people in the distant campsite, the crackling of the flames, the cracking of the firewood, and the boiling of the water in the pot, all seemed to be silenced in an instant. More accurately, they were even blocked out.
The only sounds that resonated with Melody's melody were the quiet chirping of insects in the forest, the rustling of the wind through the leaves, the gurgling of the distant stream …. Although the song didn't have a name, anyone who heard it would unconsciously think of the word 'Nature' in their heart.
"This is the sound of nature." Franklin muttered to himself. This was the first time he had heard Melody's singing voice. He was currently roasting the root of a plant that looked like a sweet potato. However, after hearing Melody's voice, the plant's root was roasted to a crisp. Even the wooden stick stuck inside was set ablaze, but he did not notice it.
Meanwhile, Desirese Roots and the other elves were solemnly seated. They gently shut their eyes and listened attentively. Evidently, Melody's singing voice held a special meaning to them.
The dwarves' reactions were even more intense. Some drank hard liquor and laughed heartily. Some buried their faces in the mud and cried. The most ridiculous one was Segimli. He had endured for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and grabbed his battle axe. Tears streamed down his face as he roared towards the sky. "Let's go! Let's go!"
"Aunt Euphretin! My love for you will never change! "
"...."
When Sheyan heard those words, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This coquettish dwarf's taste is truly heavy. His adolescent fantasies are actually his aunt!"
Nevertheless, Sheyan quickly shut his mouth. After considering that the dwarf's thoughts were exposed, there was at least a 99% chance that he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. Thus, he immediately retracted his laughter and pretended not to hear anything.
But at this moment, Sheyan was also gradually immersed in Melody's voice, entering a state of selflessness. Finally, when Melody's voice faded away, he regained his senses. Sheyan was about to speak, but he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, as though a small file was scraping back and forth. He couldn't help but groan, as he clutched his chest with his hand.
Melody gazed at him tenderly. Suddenly, she took the initiative to give him a kiss. Instantly, he felt a warm ball of light flowing down his throat from Melody's soft and smooth tongue. The part that slid down his throat felt an indescribable warmth, as if the sun was shining down on him. Then, the warmth spread to his chest.
Sheyan suddenly felt an itch in his throat. He immediately pushed Melody away and stood up. He vomited several mouthfuls of blood. The blood was deathly black and there were even lumps of lumps. After vomiting, Sheyan felt weak and fatigued, but he also felt refreshed and energetic. It was as though he had just slept for 24 hours.
Observing Melody's pale complexion and concerned gaze, Sheyan was about to speak when he received a notification from his nightmare imprint.
[You have listened to the song of the Twilight Elf. The 'Stairway of the Sun' in your body has become active due to the affinity of the Twilight Elf towards plants. All activated abilities of your 'Pestilence Monarch' have been temporarily upgraded by one level. This upgrade will not have a critical option. Duration: 120 minutes.]
[You have absorbed the 'Love of Sunlight' of Melody Sunstrider. The 'Stairway of the Sun' in your body has been bathed in the light of the sun. The invisible negative effect has been removed. The temporary upgrade effect of your 'Pestilence Monarch' has been extended to one week.]
[Hint: If you receive the help of Melody Sunstrider multiple times, this upgrade effect may become permanent.]
The powerful 'Pestilence Monarch' was melted by Melody's soft touch!
Of course, Sheyan wasn't going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and tell Melody, "My dear, I want more...." But he had already started planning to stay in this world for a while longer. For this, he was even willing to give up some benefits.
As time passed, Melody's body recovered rapidly. Sheyan's deduction was correct. The Ring of Air, Vilya, was created to protect the Elves, not to curse the Elves. Even though it might be incompatible with Melody for a short period of time, it definitely wouldn't affect her health in the opposite way.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Melody's body the next day, she could already stand up on her own. Although she still couldn't cast any powerful spells, at least she was no longer sick and unconscious.
Bathed in the sunlight, Melody's long hair fluttered in the wind. She raised her hand high and pointed to the east. The Ring of Air, Vilya, shone brightly under the sunlight. That was the direction of Rivendell!
"Let's go! The light of Sin'dorei will shine upon Rivendell! "
*****
Melody did not go to Rivendell first. Instead, she went to the Sacred Oak, Sindalor. She had everyone stay in the distance and only had Sheyan follow her.
Sindalor was still as tall and majestic as ever, as if he could support the sky. He spoke in a low, muffled voice from afar.
"I can sense that your breath is unusually weak, almost like when I first saw you. What happened to you, believer of Sin'dorei?"
Melody was currently in high spirits, smiling as she extended her hand. The feeling was like a queen extending her hand to her subjects to lick.
"With the guidance of Sin'dorei and the help of my guardian, Vilya has come to my side. So, Grandpa Sindalor, I now need your help." If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
