The sky was already dark. The emerald green vegetation that was full of vitality during the day gradually dimmed with the disappearance of the sun. It was like a swaying ghost shadow. When the wind blew, the branches and grass kept swaying, making rustling sounds. The atmosphere became a little strange.
"Yalina, cheer up," Han Jin had to remind her in a low voice.
Yalina bit her lips, glanced at Han Jin's back, and then took out her magic wand from the space ring.
Han Jin walked into the depths of the vegetation. Although Nuremberg seemed to be defenseless at the moment, Han Jin knew very well that there were about a hundred elves hiding nearby. However, they were not in a hurry to show themselves. Instead, they crept backward slowly, trying to cut off Han Jin's escape route.
Yalina rode on the unicorn's back with no expression on her face. The unicorn below seemed to be in a panic, and every few steps it took, it let out a low cry.
The air in the city was much warmer than outside. The spacious roads were covered with dense grass, and some places where grass could not grow were covered with moist moss. The elves' ability to transform the environment was indeed very strong. In a few years, the city would disappear without a trace under the erosion of vegetation.
The biggest difference between this city and a human city was that there were no lights here! Perhaps the elves were afraid of causing a fire and damaging the Tree of Life, so they simply did not allow lighting. However, such a large city was immersed in endless darkness, as if it was a ghost town. There were only a few lights in the distance, and the light source was very stable. They should be magic lamps.
Han Jin suddenly stopped. More than a dozen elves jumped out from the trees on both sides and blocked his way. Behind them, 70 or 80 elves formed a battle formation, surrounding Han Jin and Yalina.
"You've got guts." The elf in front, who seemed to be the leader, laughed. "How dare you walk in with only two people? Ha ha … Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. Put down your weapons, and I can guarantee your safety."
"I remember there should be a lot of people in the city. Where are they? Did you kill them all? "Han Jin asked softly.
"As long as you don't mess with me, we won't kill people for no reason." The leader of the elves laughed and said, "You should worry about yourself. I'll repeat myself, put down your weapon!"
"You are not true warriors." Han Jin looked around. Although every elf was a qualified archer, there was still a difference between the elite and the ordinary in a regular army. Most of the elves in front of him and behind him were of average strength, but the elf leader was wearing a treasure hunter badge. What was more interesting was that the badge was issued by the Mercenary Association of Isolated Cliff City. Treasure hunters and swordsmen were of the same rank. The elf leader's strength was about the same as Morrisons, and he was Morrisons from three years ago.
"Are you provoking me? Be careful, there are over a hundred arrows pointed at you. "The Elf leader was a little angry.
Han Jin smiled. "I want to know, where did you lock up the people in the city?"
As soon as Han Jin finished speaking, Yalina, who was behind him, suddenly raised her magic wand and chanted a spell loudly. The elves' expressions changed greatly, and Han Jin was also stunned. The dark world suddenly lit up. Through the dense vines, they could clearly see that the sky was as bright as day, and countless bolts of lightning were crazily surging.
Among all the professions, magicians were the most vulnerable. For magicians, protecting themselves was far more important than killing their opponents. Yalina, however, was casting spells without any protection. Even if she was a super-grade professional, she would not be able to survive in this situation!
Over a hundred elves shot their arrows almost at the same time, and all of them were aimed at Yalina. Yalina smiled, and two drops of tears quietly overflowed from her eyes. Then, she waved her magic wand downwards, and huge pillars of lightning rained down. Nine Grid Thunder Call!
Han Jin's hair stood on end. He cast the Ground Shrink Spell as fast as he could and appeared beside Yalina. Then, he pounced on Yalina like lightning, and at the same time, he opened his arms and hugged Yalina tightly in his arms. His body did not stop, and he continued to rush forward towards the tree wall.
Because he was afraid that Yalina would be injured, Han Jin hugged her very tightly, as if they had become one person. Fortunately, Han Jin had mastered the Ground Shrink Spell, and also, as usual, he had already blessed himself with the Spirit Possession Spell. Otherwise, if he had been a little slower, Yalina would have been shot into a hedgehog by the elves!
Han Jin could feel that a few arrows had hit his body, but they could not penetrate his dragon scale armor. There was also an arrow that flew past his nape, and he could even feel the coldness of the arrow.
Pillars of lightning fell on the ground one after another, and the huge curtain of vegetation that covered the entire Nuremberg was torn apart. Broken branches and leaves were flying all over the sky, and sand and stones were flying everywhere. At the same time, the bodies of the elves were also torn apart. The elves who were responsible for blocking the escape route were in a battle formation, and the Nine Grid Thunder Call's attack range was very wide, so they became living targets.
After a while, the lightning finally stopped, and over a hundred elves fell into a pool of blood in all kinds of strange postures. Han Jin was right. They were not real warriors, and in the face of high-level magic, they were extremely fragile. None of them could escape this disaster.
"Yalina, are you crazy?!" Han Jin roared.
At this moment, Han Jin had put Yalina down. They were both standing on a small hill. In fact, there should have been a house under their feet, but it was covered with grass and moss, so they could no longer see its original appearance.
Yalina did not look at Han Jin. She struggled desperately, and tried to poke her head out from Han Jin's shoulder. She waved her magic wand, and a ball of lightning shot out, chasing after the elves who were running away.
It could only be said that Han Jin did not understand a woman's heart. At least, he did not understand the heart of Yalina's first love.
Yalina was of noble birth, beautiful, and talented. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the pride of the heavens. Whether at home or in the academy, whether she liked to keep a low profile or to show off, she would inevitably become the target of countless people's attention. Since she was young, when had she ever wronged herself like this?! In order to get close to Han Jin, in order to get the warmth that she longed for, she did not hesitate to take care of Han Jin like a maid. What else could she do?
Moreover, this was Yalina's first love. For all the boys and girls who had just fallen in love, love was the most sacred feeling in the world. It was their everything. To live for love and to die for love, this was ridiculous in the eyes of adults. After experiencing the hardships of life, they knew that there were other things that were just as important as love. However, the boys and girls only saw one thing: they dared to promise, to give, and even to sacrifice.
All her grievances were in exchange for indifference. Yalina was really hurt. She was disheartened. She felt that fate was always playing tricks on her. However, although she was powerless against fate, she had an undeniable power, and she refused to face it directly.
Even if fate was omnipresent and omnipotent, it could not play tricks on another kind of person!
When Yalina raised her magic wand again, Han Jin grabbed her wrist. "Yalina, can you calm down? I think we should have a good talk! "
Yalina still did not look at Han Jin. Her eyes were only searching the shadows in the forest. However, she did not continue to struggle and let Han Jin grab her wrist.
Han Jin looked at Yalina helplessly. After a while, he sighed and withdrew his hand.
As soon as Han Jin let go, Yalina released a levitation spell and flew straight into the air. She chased in the direction that the elves had escaped. The magic wand in her hand kept waving, shooting out lightning balls one after another. It did not matter if there was no target, and she did not want to find one. As long as there was something to do, as long as she could forget the heart-wrenching pain, she would be satisfied.
Nine Thunder Descent was a signature spell that could only be released by a top-grade professional. However, a magus without any defense was also an irresistible temptation! Although the elves were scared out of their wits, under the influence of the great temptation, they did not run far. Instead, they spread out and hid in the depths of the forest, waiting quietly.
As soon as Yalina's figure approached, several shadows shot out from the forest towards Yalina from various angles. However, Yalina, who refused to face fate directly, ignored these attacks, just like how Han Jin had ignored her. Without thinking, she raised her hand and released a few lightning balls in return.
A green light shot out. Han Jin stretched out his left arm, hugged Yalina's waist, and dodged to the side. Several arrows hit his back in an instant. Then, Han Jin pointed his sword finger and the green light slashed downward. In a deafening boom, a large black hole was blasted open above a small hill. The next moment, Han Jin flew into the hole with Yalina in his arms.
Yalina became restless again and struggled with all her might. Han Jin was worried that Yalina would use too much strength and sprain her own arm, so he could only trap Yalina in his arms again. No matter how violent Yalina was, he did not dare to let go.
After a long while, Yalina finally calmed down, but Han Jin felt a headache coming on. He had promised Guevara not to hurt Yalina. Even if he couldn't keep his promise, he couldn't just bring a dead Yalina back! That kind of result was not only unacceptable to Majordomo Gail and Guevara, but also to himself.
Time passed little by little, and the surroundings were silent. If Nine Thunder Descent was the signature spell of a magus, then the green light was Han Jin's signature spell, and it was a unique one. The leader of the elves saw the green light. After all, he came from Isolated Cliff City, so he immediately recognized the opponent in front of him and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place! Han Jin regretted not using that method to reject Yalina. He should have found a gentler way, but how? Han Jin did not know. His mind was in a mess. Regardless of whether Yalina was wise or not, she had always been rational and knew what she should and should not do. Therefore, Han Jin had overestimated Yalina. No matter what, Yalina was not even 20 years old today. She was just a little girl!
If you don't cherish me, why should I cherish myself? Since ancient times, countless girls had walked down the wrong path because of such thoughts until they could no longer turn back. Although it sounded childish, from another perspective, the fact that they did this proved that in their hearts, 'you' was far deeper and more important than 'me'.
Yalina finally quieted down, but Han Jin still did not dare to let go. He was still scared. Fortunately, most of the elves were weak. If there was an elven ranger, Yalina would have been shot to death! In such a short time, he had no time to save Yalina. In fact, the distance between life and death was not measured in seconds, but in milliseconds!
The two of them stood in each other's arms like a pair of lovers. Han Jin's chest should have been warm, but Yalina kept shivering as if she was in an endless snowstorm. Tears kept dripping from the corners of her eyes, and more and more of them flowed, almost forming a line.
Han Jin was clumsy. He did not dare to let go of Yalina, nor did he know what to say to comfort her. He could only remain silent. At this moment, every minute was extremely unbearable for him.
Similar problems had caused headaches for many true heroes who valued relationships. Even Gao Bin found it hard to make a choice back then. In the end, he chose that woman. One reason was because the Elders had tried to influence his decision and sent people to attack that woman maliciously. Another reason was because elves had a long lifespan. Therefore, he decided to accompany that woman for the rest of her life before using the rest of his time to make up for Hazel's pain. It was a good idea, but he did not know that the grief-stricken Hazel betrayed Wild Willow City and willingly became a Night Elf. After wandering for dozens of years, he sought refuge under Zagunéd.
Gao Bin, who had been isolated from the world, did not know what happened later. The funny thing was that he could still remain calm, laughing and cursing because he did not know anything. He also did not care about Hazel's identity as a Night Elf. To him, as long as he worked hard, everything could be salvaged.
Happiness was only because of ignorance! Of course, ignorance was not derogatory.
If you love someone, do you have to destroy the other person? Han Jin and Gao Bin, who had never met before, would face the same problem sooner or later. It was just that one's mind was full of contradictions, while the other's heart was full of sorrow and sorrow.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Jin felt that Yalina in his arms seemed to have recovered. He let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "Yalina, let's calm down and have a good talk, okay?" He had never been so grateful to the elves. With Yalina, who was not afraid of death, he could not fight at all. It was even more dangerous to drag her underground. Yalina's desperate struggle would destroy his Taoist spells. He could escape, but Yalina would be trapped alive. Fortunately, the elves gave up attacking. He had decided to forgive all the elves in the city as long as they were willing to leave.
"I … I ask you!" Yalina said in a slightly choked voice, "When you found out that Sunier had married someone else, was it very, very painful?"
Han Jin was stunned for a moment. "Yes." He saw himself very clearly. When he faced the elves and madly vented his deep-rooted hatred, what he could not hide was the same feelings that were engraved in his heart.
"Then do you know what I feel?" Yalina's voice trembled even more.
Han Jin was silent. He was really speechless.
"Let me ask you again. If … if you had never met Sunier, would you … fall in love with me?" Yalina suddenly raised her head and stared at Han Jin with her red and swollen eyes. All this time, they had been playing riddles with each other. One knew what she was doing, and the other knew what the other wanted to do, but neither of them said it out loud. Today, Yalina finally said those two words.
Han Jin looked at Yalina's haggard face and suddenly thought of a saying, "A beauty's favor is the hardest to bear!" He took a deep breath and said without hesitation, "Yes."
"I don't want you to pity me!" Yalina's body suddenly trembled.
"I won't force myself to make a promise just because I sympathize with someone," Han Jin said softly.
"Just like what you did just now, right?"
Han Jin smiled bitterly. He did not know how to answer. However, seeing that Yalina's mood had improved, he changed the topic. "It's getting late. Should we find a place to rest first? There are still many things to do, Harley! "
"Here!" Following his words, Harley's figure appeared in front of him. However, his skull hung low as if there was something on the ground that required his attention.
"Look around and see if there are any elves ambushing us."
"Yes." Harley was exceptionally clean today. He was a man of few words and did not say anything unnecessary. He turned around and flew out of the hole in the roof.
In fact, Yalina's "terrorist" attack just now had frightened him. After seeing that the situation was getting stranger and stranger, he did not dare to make a sound. If he attracted Han Jin's attention, he might vent his anger on him.
A moment later, Harley appeared at the hole again. He looked down and then floated down. "They ran away!"
"What ran away?"
"They all ran away."
"Make it clear!" Han Jin frowned.
Harley felt even more wronged than Yalina. In the past, he had made things clear and added a lot of his own explanations, but he was always scolded. Today, he finally tried to be concise for once, but still could not satisfy Han Jin.
"Master, there are not many elves in this city. I think there are only five or six hundred of them. Um … I mean the living ones. If you include the dead ones, there are about six or seven hundred …"
"Nonsense!"
Harley felt so wronged that he wanted to kill himself. Just like Yalina, his tone became very low. "They all retreated. I just saw their backs on the city wall. Master, do you want to chase after them? You can take care of Madam Yalina here. Don't worry and leave the things over there to me! Oh right … they also left the Tree of Life. Haha, that thing is too big. I don't think they can move it … "
"Okay, okay." Han Jin waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Harley.
"Master, then … do you want to chase after them?"
"I just said that there is no need."
"You didn't say that just now! You just said 'okay', I … "Harley saw that Han Jin's expression was not right and hurriedly shut his mouth. He swore that he would never speak again before the sun came out. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
