Chapter 1162 84. End
Prince Aidan’s head dropped.
This young prince whom Annan had not known for a long time, but who left a deep impression on him, is now lying quietly on the green grass at the foot of the World Tree. His long golden hair, which was once as bright as the sun, is now It became gray and dry, as if it had experienced years of wind and frost and endless suffering, and all its brilliance was stripped away at this moment.
The surrounding elves gradually gathered around, bypassing Prince Aidan, and surrounding Annan and the sleeping Tadel who made them friendly.
Not long after, the elves in front of them dispersed as if they were disturbed, revealing a condensing magic door.
The magic door was unstable, flickering and difficult to form. Annan lowered his head and picked up the Eye of Rudolph before it became stable.
The third prince of the kingdom appeared behind the magic door, and then he saw the grassland, the World Tree, and...the body of his younger brother.
"Aidan..."
The third prince, who still wanted to maintain his composure, couldn't help but feel sad.
"Sorry, I tried my best."
"It doesn't matter, I have been prepared... Even if he comes back, the elves will not let him live..."
He took one last look at his brother and faced Annan: "Mr. Annan Reeves, Can I ask you something on behalf of the royal family?"
"Please tell me."
"Return Aidan's body to us."
"The kingdom has a way to save it. Live him?”
"It's just the fallen leaves returning to their roots..." The third prince shook his head, "If he stays with the elves, he will only become a tool for them to accuse the kingdom."
Annan weighed it up, picked up Aidan's body, and walked to the magic in front of the door.
"Thank you..."
Looking at the face and gray hair that were similar to his own, the third prince couldn't hide his sadness. After calming down for a long time, his eyes fell on Rudolph's eyes.
"I know this is very inappropriate, but the Eye of Rudolph is an important artifact of the kingdom. If you are willing to return it, the entire kingdom will be grateful to you."
Annan has no interest in the Eye of Rudolph. He doesn't want to be like Aidan: "I can't return it to you yet. The souls of the son of the demigod and my friend are still in it."
The third prince saluted gently. : "Of course, let's do it in a few days. I happen to have some gifts for you, but don't let the elves take them away."
"I will try my best."
Magic The door disappeared, cutting off the third prince's sigh.
"Aidan...you are wrong..."
"That's not what you thought before."
Another person's voice sounded in the room.
The flamboyant short boots stepped out of the shadows, stood next to the body of Prince Aidan, and commented: "It's so pitiful that the hero turned into a dead man..."
"Because he is becoming more and more difficult to control. "The third prince turned around, "What did you say to him that actually made him give up that crazy plan?"
"It wasn't me who made him give up."
"Who is that? You mean... Annan?" The third prince was stunned.
"Yes."
"How long have they known each other?"
"Friendship is like some fine wine, it does not need time to ferment."
"But the Eye of Rudolph is still in his hand, so I'm not worried."
"He will return it," said the bard.
"Do you know him?" The third prince noticed something.
"A few years ago, when he was still tied up by some little troubles. He is a talented boy and taught me a piece of music. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Not in the mood."
"Annan Reeves is your new target?"
"No...he won't agree with us." "Okay."
In addition to sadness, the third prince also felt helpless and irritable.
Aidan is dead, but the legacy of trouble remains. He had to get his brother's body to the palace as soon as possible.
……
Tedder slowly woke up.
Perception gradually returns, and there is soft grass beneath me. It gradually became clear before his eyes, and Annan's face was very close at hand.
She heard from the elders in the clan that when the soul of the elf returns to the World Tree, he will meet the thing he cares about most in his heart
She... cares most about... Annan?
"Are you awake? It is now the year 1077 of the Saint Laurent calendar. We have failed. The war has spread to the entire Wilhelm. The entire world is in danger. The world needs you, the savior Tedder."
"Is it over?" Tedder's eyes swept around.
“I think so.”
“Where is the body of the human prince?”
“It was taken away by the kingdom. I think they will say that this is A misunderstanding,"
"You shouldn't give it back to them..."
Tedder's eyes suddenly froze on the Eye of Rudolf in Annan's hand
Annan continued to speak without noticing: "The third prince is right, the elf holding Aidan's body will only make it worse." The situation has become more serious."
"You killed Annan!" Tedder whispered coldly.
Annan looked at her inexplicably: "No way... Aidan didn't hit you on the head, why did you become stupid."
Teddel was slightly startled, then gradually felt relieved. ...That human prince would not say such a thing.
Discovering that it was a misunderstanding caused by the Eye of Rudolph, Annan explained: "This is my trophy, and the souls of the children of Yililanze and Lord Emerald are in it."
Teddel asked her about her coma. Annan briefly told what happened.
"He paid such a heavy price, but stopped before he was about to succeed?" Tedder was puzzled.
“I don’t know either.” Annan was also full of questions.
He didn’t know why Prince Aidan initially acted like he was willing to accept any sacrifice to achieve his goal, but then gave up without any end in the end.
But he had too many problems, and a few more didn't seem to matter - for example, they had been chasing for so long, but the high elves never came over.
"Perhaps there is something like 'no elves are allowed to approach the World Tree,' so the group of high elves outside did not dare to break in even though they knew there were enemies in the forbidden area." Annan said with ridicule.
Annan was half right.
He and Tedder stepped across the grass, and the outer forest gradually appeared on the horizon.
Two groups of elves are confronting each other in the forest.
One of the groups was the Skeleton King and the Dark Nights who came over, and the other group was, as expected, the high elves.
"The attackers have been eliminated, and the soul of Lord Emerald's child has also been rescued." Tedder walked up to them.
"Tedel, as a divinely chosen elder, you dare to break the rules and lead outsiders into the forbidden area..." the high elf elder accused.
Tedel seemed to be influenced by Aidan, and said forcefully: "How about letting the attackers destroy the World Tree, and you are still standing outside and watching in violation of the rules?"
" Before you prepare your charges against me, you'd better check the forbidden area carefully in case the attacker left anything behind at the foot of the World Tree."
After saying that, she saw Annan secretly giving her a thumbs up and a touching smile.
The high elves did not take anyone away in the end. The complexity of this incident was enough to keep them wrangling for months.
Annan, who returned to the Skeleton King, stretched out. After working hard for several days, it was time for him to take a rest.
But before that...
