Boss Luo slashed a few more times with his sword. It wasn't that the class power given by [Chessboard] didn't have any effect here. It was just that it was weakened a lot.
This point seemed to have been hinted at when they were in the inner hall of the temple. At that time, in the inner hall, the sword couldn't break the walls of the inner hall.
The Home of Elves was a pure land created by the two goddesses to resist the invading power. It was the power of [Chessboard]. It was full of the divine power of the two goddesses.
Especially in a symbolic place like the temple, the concentration of divine power was naturally higher. Naturally, the reduction of the class power of [Chessboard] servants was more significant.
After several fruitless attacks, Luo Qiu stopped.
At the same time, [The Next Day Mayfair] was suddenly released. She didn't know when it started, but the blooming patterns on her body had disappeared.
This meant that [The Next Day Mayfair]'s goddess power had been completely drained by [The First Day]. Seeing [The Next Day Mayfair]'s body falling into the bottomless dark abyss, Boss Luo moved.
He jumped down and caught [The Next Day Mayfair] before she fell completely. The moment he caught [The Next Day Mayfair], a floating slate appeared under Boss Luo's feet.
He stood steadily.
Now, [Mayfair of the Second Day], who had lost all of her Goddess' power, was extremely weak … She was afraid that even her life force was about to be exhausted. She looked like a lamp that had run out of oil.
But she still reacted to the slate that appeared. "How can this place be …"
"I think we need a place to stand. It may be more convenient." Boss Luo looked at the slate that he was standing on and said.
"Impossible. This is her inner world. How can you …" [The Next Day Mayfair] seemed to think of something and said in disbelief, "Could it be that the strength of your willpower can surpass her control of her inner world?"
"This should be a good explanation." Boss Luo said casually. Then, he waved his hand … The slate under his feet began to extend at this moment. In the blink of an eye, a straight path was extended from the slate.
"Sure enough!" [The Next Day Mayfair]'s eyes flashed a glimmer of light. She subconsciously grabbed Boss Luo's arm and said, "You can help her! You can help her get out of this heart of regret. I can't do it anymore. My power has been taken away. I'm the one who failed. But you still have a chance. "
"You take a rest.."
Saying that, Boss Luo didn't promise her anything. Instead, he created another road upwards — the road to Mayfair from the [First Day].
Mayfair from the [First Day] was now at the end of the road … She seemed to be waiting.
She seemed to be waiting for Luoqiu's arrival.
Soon, Boss Luo followed the path and arrived in front of [The First Day]. Looking at [The First Day] Mayfair in front of him, Luoqiu found that she seemed to be much calmer.
Even though [Mayfair of the First Day]'s aura was still as wild as before, she had a trace of calmness … Even her gaze had become much gentler, and there was a trace of color in it. It was no longer empty and empty.
"You're here."
This was the first sentence she said when Luoqiu arrived. Her voice was soft and gentle.
"You are … the Mayfair I know."
"No." She shook her head and then said with a light smile, "I remember you, the Mayfair … After taking back the power that originally belonged to me, I remembered everything. Of course, the things that happened recently will be clearer. "
Boss Luo nodded and said softly, "Then you should know the reason why we came to the Elven Homeland."
"Yes." [The First Day Mayfair] nodded but soon shook her head, "It's okay … You don't want to be controlled, right? I don't want to leave this place. Can you stay here with me? Don't care about the so-called things you get from the mission. Stay with me forever … "
With that, the dark time suddenly turned white … Black could devour everything, and so could white.
…
…
"What are you thinking about?"
A soft female voice came from behind him, accompanied by the soft touch of the girl's hands — he was mischievously blindfolded by someone.
On a grassy slope in front of a field.
"Don't you need to train today?" He took the girl's hands away from his eyes and smiled.
"Today, Captain Malik praised me. He said that I was very serious in training, so he gave me half a day's rest." The girl smiled slightly.
She sat down beside him. The sweet smile on her face was very suitable for the grass swaying in the wind. There was even a sweet fragrance floating in the air. "For you!"
The girl held an exquisite bag with both hands and pulled open the string tied to it, "I bought it on the way. It just came out of the oven."
It was as if it was her favorite item.
In the bag, there was a milky white candy with a trace of heat.
"Very good." He smiled, took a piece from the bag, put it in his mouth, and carefully chewed it.
She talked about the things that happened during her training. Many of them were tough times. "You know, I'm actually very scared. Maybe I won't be able to pass the test and become a real temple guard … This is my dream."
The girl's mood suddenly became gloomy, as if she wanted to find someone to rely on. She gently rested her head on his shoulder.
He smiled and said, "The hard work you put in when you leave early and come back late, and when you don't want to train, when you feel too tired and don't want to force yourself, but in the end, when you grit your teeth and persevere, maybe that's the dream you're pursuing."
The girl raised her head and looked at him, her eyes flickering.
He said softly, "Since you've already put in so much effort, then I think, even if you can't achieve your dream in the end, there will always be some greater things that will quietly come to your side."
The girl's eyes gradually became hazy. "Luo, has someone ever told you that your eyes can always calm people … Stay with me, okay?"
The girl closed her eyes. She wanted to kiss his lips, so she moved her body closer to him.
Soon, she touched something, it was a very sweet smell … The girl suddenly opened her eyes, but the boy in front of her had a smile on his face. He took the opportunity to put the candy in the bag to her lips.
"Be careful, you'll get fat." He winked and chuckled.
"You're so annoying!" She puffed up her cheeks angrily, and her face was slightly red, like a red apple that was about to be picked. However, she seemed reluctant to hit him. After patting him a few times, she hugged her knees and looked at the fields in the distance.
A gentle breeze blew on them. The Elven Home was peaceful and far away, as if there were no worries.
Suddenly, the girl said softly, "Tomorrow … Tomorrow's Grand Ceremony, do you want to come?"
He smiled and said, "Everyone has to attend, I think I have no reason not to go."
She glared at him and immediately stood up, quickly running away, but a voice came, "At dusk, I'll wait for you at the waterwheel next to the Creek Tavern …"
The wind covered her next words.
Perhaps it was something like 'You must come'.
He watched her figure disappear at the end of the field, then lay down on the grass on the slope and closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the peace here.
…
The lights were reflected on the stream.
On the footboard in front of the waterwheel, the girl looked at the people and lights on the other side. She had been absent-minded for a long time, and the sound of flowing water was her thoughts from time to time.
She didn't know where it flowed from, nor did she know where it would flow to … But the reflections of the lights were always in a fixed place, swaying.
Perhaps she was a bit cold, so she curled up her body.
There was a squeaking sound from the pedals and the sound of footsteps.
She turned around and saw him coming, and a flower-like smile quickly appeared on her face. This was the first time she smiled all day.
"You're so slow!"
It was as if she was blaming him.
He said apologetically, "It's a bit crowded, sorry, I'm late."
The young girl walked up to him and even stuck out her nose, sniffing hard a few times in front of him. "There's the smell of so many wild women … There must be a lot of people sending you flowers!"
He just raised his empty hands.
"Let's go!" The girl's face showed a satisfied smile, and directly took his arm, hugging it tightly, "Don't miss the parade, and then you won't get the goddess' blessing if you're not pious!"
"Have you seen the goddess?" He suddenly asked.
She widened her eyes and said, "How is that possible!"
He said casually, "But you're training in the temple every day, haven't you seen the goddess even once?"
She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just an intern, okay? Training is only in the training camp, other places are forbidden. I'm very obedient and never run around. "
"That's a pity," he said with a smile.
She said, "When I officially become a guard, I'll have a chance to see the goddess. At that time, I'll tell you what the goddess looks like."
"That's great."
"But how are you going to thank me?" She looked at him expectantly.
"I bought it on the way. It's fresh out of the oven." He handed her an exquisite small bag.
This was not what she expected … But she seemed to like it very much and accepted it happily.
…
The parade soon stopped at the venue of the grand ceremony.
The young elf men and women were gathered in front of the crowd, waiting devoutly … waiting for the moment when the sacrifice girl brought the goddess' blessing.
Probably tonight, some hotels or bachelor apartments in the village would have good business. Old Eric's family was in the apartment business, but he did not consider whether he should temporarily increase the rent.
Because the sacrifice girls who went up the mountain today were the three women of Old Eric's family … Three sacrifices in one family, such a huge honor had fallen on Old Eric's head, and he had fainted from happiness long ago.
She held his hand and stood in the crowd nervously, listening to the whispers of the elf men and women. Her palms unknowingly became moist.
"Are you nervous?" he asked in a low voice.
"Who's not nervous!" She said angrily, then quietly pointed to the front. "Look at them, their bodies are tense. Don't you think they're nervous … You don't look nervous at all."
"It's not the first time I've participated." He smiled.
"That's right …" She shook her head. "But in the past, I only watched others, but this time is different. This time, it's us …"
"It's about to start," he suddenly said.
The sacrifice girl was wearing a white dress. Accompanied by the black-armored oracle, she slowly walked to the statue of the goddess … She was praying in a low voice.
Above the statue of the goddess, a hazy shadow of the goddess was slowly being born.
The village elder said to let the young men and women who wanted to receive blessings come out and receive the goddess's blessings … The crowd began to separate.
The young men and women held hands and slowly walked past her and him, but she didn't have the intention to move at this time.
He looked at her and asked, "Aren't we going?"
She lowered her head and didn't say anything … After a while, she gently pulled his clothes and said in a hoarse voice, "Luo, let's … let's come again next time, okay?"
"Why?" He asked in confusion, "Haven't you been looking forward to today for a long time?"
She raised her head, and there was fear on her face. "I don't know, I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that it will be gone this time." She whispered, "Do you know, this kind of happiness only comes once in a lifetime … I don't want, I don't want to lose it in the future."
"Elves who want to be united can only participate in the ceremony once," he said matter-of-factly.
"It's not like that …" She shook her head and grabbed his clothes tightly. "If, if we only stop here this time, then we can come again next time … Next time, we will only stop here, then we can come again next time. So, let's stop here, okay? We will come again next time. "
"Don't you want an ending?" he said softly.
"I don't know … I'm sorry." She lowered her head, then let go of her hand and ran into the crowd … disappearing into the crowd.
He was left standing in the crowd, in the midst of the smoke. Then, the smoke dissipated, and black flowers bloomed everywhere.
They shattered and disappeared bit by bit.
…
The opposite shore began to dim bit by bit.
She returned to the waterwheel station she was waiting for and sat there, looking at the disappearing street, the disappearing crowd, and the stream that gradually stopped.
Finally, the entire world disappeared, and only this lonely waterwheel station was left … She was still sitting here.
Suddenly, the squeaking sound of footsteps sounded with the arrival of footsteps … She turned back abruptly.
"Luo … Why are you …" She stood up in a panic, her face pale. "Don't come! You disappear! You disappear first! I'll be fine soon! I'll be fine soon! We'll meet again later … You disappear first! "
He still walked in front of her … The darkness that kept expanding was unable to touch him in the end, until he finally arrived in front of her.
"I've been here for a long time." He looked at her and said, "This is the thousandth time … Miss Mayfair, don't you want to wake up?"
"I don't want to listen —!" She held her ears tightly, "I don't want to listen to you! You disappear! You disappear!! I'll create a new beginning … You disappear!! You disappear!! "
"If I really disappear," he said softly. He said softly, "Then, can you still find this place … Miss Mayfair, I came here in response to your expectations."
She looked at him blankly.
He said calmly, "I think, it's already possible … What's your wish?"
"Can … can you give me another candy?" She looked up with a sad smile, "I'm talking about this."
With that said, the elf lady rushed forward recklessly and hugged his body tightly. She stood on her tiptoes and touched the sweet smell that she had been waiting for for a long time.
After a long time.
…
White patterns instantly blossomed under the elf lady's feet … Like ripples dripping into water, they slowly spread out, fading away all the darkness.
What followed was a pure world.
"Thank you for accompanying me for the thousandth time."
The elf lady opened her arms and gave him a smile. Then, she slowly closed her eyes … Finally, the elf lady's body turned into a ray of light.
When the light faded from the Elven lady's body, she no longer had the appearance of Mayfair … She had the appearance of an even smaller little girl.
[Sub-World Administrator No. 00361 Arraia … Dear Root Manager, what can I do for you?]
