Chapter 173 [Wrath of God], The Tribulation of the Emerald Island
Before Xia En could speak, Laila said in surprise: "Become a flower field?"
"Sounds great!"
"Let's do this. I'll give you five gold coins and give me all these magic books."
The little girl naturally nodded hurriedly and packed these magic books to Laila.
But at this moment, two or three elves happened to be passing by.
"Laila, is that you?"
Due to Laila's unique appearance, one of the elf girls quickly recognized her and said with some caution and concern.
“It’s been such a long time.”
Seeing this girl, Laila, who had always been calm, changed her expression slightly and couldn’t help biting her lips with a complicated tone.
"Sister An Qi..."
Xia En glanced at the girl in surprise.
Laila's aunt is the current Elf Queen, and the two of them don't look like biological sisters.
This means that this girl named "Angel" is the real elf princess!
It is not difficult to see that Angel’s attitude towards Laila is very complicated.
Caring but distant, wanting to get close but not daring to get close.
After thinking about it, An Qi’s attention fell on the magic book on the stall, and she quickly frowned.
"Laila, these ancient books... must be forgeries, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the little girl setting up the stall suddenly turned pale, with pleading in her eyes.
Laila sighed: "Sister, I have seen this kind of thing a long time ago."
"However, as long as two or three of these books are true, I think it is worth it."
Obviously, Laila had already seen through the little girl's clumsy methods, but she did not expose it because of sympathy.
An Qi was stunned and asked: "Are you still studying those messy things?"
"Laila, listen to my sister's advice, you are a talented person, completely You can use your talents to advance on the path and practice secret techniques.”
“If you practice hard, you must have broken through the fourth level by now, so how can you stop at the third level? ”
"...That's not a mess!"
After hearing these words, Laila finally couldn't help but retorted loudly.
The surroundings immediately became quiet, and the passers-by stared at her in surprise.
"I'm sorry, sister, I'm a little out of control."
Before she finished speaking, Laila hurriedly left the square and plunged into the nearby woods, leaving Angel behind. The others looked at each other.
At this time, Xia En walked up to An Qi, first stated that he was Laila's friend, and then asked.
“Why is the relationship between Miss Laila and Her Highness the Princess so weird?”
Although Xia En’s appearance in a black robe is quite suspicious, in [Upper City], various races are mixed. There are many people wearing strange clothes.
An Qi sighed and explained without too much doubt.
“In the elves, this is actually not a secret.”
"Lila's mother once committed extremely serious mistakes, which even attracted the [Wrath of God]."
"It is precisely because of this that we were forced to move to this [Emerald Island] ""
"Because of this incident, Laila became the daughter of a sinner and gradually became alienated from me."
[Wrath of God]?
Xia En's heart skipped a beat.
He did not forget that the destruction of the elves was the result of offending a certain god.
He was also cursed with [Aphasia] because of this.
Was there any clue at this time?
Xia En also thought of the strange fish that attacked the port just now, and felt even more uneasy.
In this era, the great flood has not yet come, and the mysterious power on the land has not polluted the ocean. In fact, there are not many alienated sea beasts like the ones that can be seen everywhere later.
Why would that strange fish that obviously comes from the deep sea attack an island on the sea?
And, judging from Laila’s tone, it was obvious that this was not the first time this happened.
Xia En's heart beat faster and faster, and she vaguely realized something.
So he quickly said goodbye to Angel and chased in the direction where Laila escaped.
……
……
At the same time.
Laila ran into the woods and leaned against a big tree, with many confusing emotions flooding her heart.
Of course Laila knows that An Qi is doing it for her own good, and she also knows her sincere concern.
But the problem is...
Laila is nicknamed the "Sinner's Daughter" and lives alone in a small wooden house. She is ostracized by other elves and her parents died early.
Those messy and useless researches to others, whether it is steam engines, alchemy, or various strange magics, have become her hobbies and the pillars of her soul.
No one wants something they love to be devalued as worthless by others.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Laila felt.
For a while, I couldn't help but cry softly, crying like a little cat.
After all.
According to the lifespan of an elf, Laila is still just a little girl.
Why can't we be more vulnerable and childish?
At this moment, Laila suddenly heard subtle footsteps.
She quickly turned around and faced the tree, not wanting others to see her current appearance.
"Laila."
Soon, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Laila lowered her head and said dullly: "Xia En, do you also think what my sister said is right?"
"Do you also think I shouldn't do this? Used for research?”
“How could it be so?”
Shane's voice sounded again.
"What a person likes to do and study, as long as it does not harm others, is his freedom."
"I think you did nothing wrong."
“If you don’t believe it, just turn around and look.”
Hearing this, Laila raised her head hesitantly and looked behind her.
Seeing this, the elf girl was stunned.
I saw that in the not dense woods, the golden sunset passed through the gaps in the leaves and poured down like water.
Below, one after another, nameless white flowers emerged from the soil without knowing when, spreading their petals to their heart's content and blooming with all their strength.
The breeze blew gently, and the white flowers undulated like a sea of flowers.
This beautiful and dreamy sight made Laila temporarily lose her mind.
And in the sea of flowers, a strange figure wearing a black robe slowly walked towards him holding a tattered old book.
It seems out of place with this scene.
“I didn’t expect this magic to be quite spectacular when used?”
Xia En was also quite emotional.
Because [Captain's Majesty] was bound to Joey, he already mastered some low-level spells, and now he has learned Elvish.
So, with just a little research, I figured out how to use this magic.
But Xia En didn’t expect that the visual effect after the actual release would be so amazing!
Perhaps this has something to do with his extremely high [mysterious] attribute.
"So beautiful..."
At this time, Laila looked at the flower field in front of her and murmured to herself.
"I like this magic very much..." "As long as you like it."
Suddenly, something strange happened, and Xia En said: "How about this, you can collect what you like. The magic is recorded in a notebook."
"Human memory is limited after all."
"Besides, maybe there will be other people who like to study this kind of magic in the future? ”
"At that time, this notebook can be regarded as a precious legacy you leave to future generations."
Hearing this, Laila nodded in confusion: "This seems to be the truth..."
Boom! ! !
Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance, like the sky was falling. The earth-shattering sound surged with darkness and air waves, crashing into the [Upper City].
The entire city, and even the elf mother tree in the center, was shaking violently.
Xia En and the other two were also unsteady due to the shaking of the ground and almost fell.
“What happened?”
Xia En supported Laila and looked up, suddenly horrified.
In the sky not far away, a dark and deep gap hundreds of meters long suddenly opened.
Immediately, a black substance that looked like mist or sea water flowed out of the cracks and quickly poured towards the Elf Mother Tree.
Not only that, there were huge shadow monsters swaying out one after another from the cracks.
That's right, it's "Swim!"
In the black mist, only the outline of the monster can be seen clearly, swimming in mid-air as if it were in the sea.
Seeing this scene, Laila's expression changed instantly and she gritted her teeth.
“It’s [God’s Wrath]…”
"Those monsters will attack everyone indiscriminately. My mother was killed by them."
Is this [Wrath of God]? !
Xia En's heart was shocked, but he knew that now was not the time to think about the reasons behind this, so he immediately ran in the direction he came from.
Yan Yan and Cui Qian are still waiting in the square!
Laila did not hesitate and followed his footsteps.
Just as they were rushing to the square, several emerald-green streams of light had risen from the elf mother tree and took the initiative to attack the monsters in mid-air.
Obviously, this is the action of the strong among the elves!
But at the same time, [Upper City] also fell into unprecedented chaos.
In the previously lively and orderly square, whether it was merchants, vendors, guests, or local residents, they were all running around in confusion.
Screams, cries, wailings... came one after another.
Fortunately, Yan Yan followed Xia En's instructions honestly and stayed where he was with Tracy without moving.
However, there were a few more unexpected figures beside them.
It was the elf princess An Qi, her friends, and some traders who recognized her identity.
They probably thought it was safer to be with the princess, so they all gathered here.
Xia En had just arrived in front of Yan Yan when he suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the sky.
I saw an emerald green figure in mid-air, crashing into the square at a faster speed than when he rose.
In an instant, air waves rolled and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
A large pit with a radius of more than ten meters appeared in the square.
In the center of the pit, there lay a male elf with weak breath.
A big hole opened in his abdomen, and his intestines fell out. It seemed that he would not survive.
Seeing this man, Angel and Laila couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle Bendis!"
Laila was extremely puzzled.
This Bendis is an important elf noble and a fifth-level mystic. How could he lose so quickly?
“Let’s go!”
While unconscious, Bendis said an important message: “That kind of black mist... can seal the secret power in the Elvish language!”
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized.
Although the mystics of the Elf clan also have other secret ways, they are too dependent on the easy-to-use language of Elvish.
So much so that once they lose this language, their strength will be greatly reduced.
Exactly what he thought.
At this time, the elf warriors who had risen into the air began to fall from high places one after another, or were swallowed up by monsters in the black mist.
In an instant, there were huge casualties.
Moreover, the ominous black mist, as thick as water, has quietly come in and spread around everyone.
“What should we do now?”
The elf princess An Qi was obviously panicked.
She knew she wanted to escape, but the whole city was wrapped in black mist, where should she escape?
"Go to [Lower City]!"
Xia En's brain was spinning rapidly and he made a decision quickly.
[Upper City] is located at a high place, so of course it will be attacked by [God's Wrath] immediately.
[Lower City] As the core of the elves, there must be other means of defense.
Moreover, Xia En knew that the pirate king was also in the port below!
If the Elvish language fails, then Augustine will most likely be the strongest person on this [Emerald Island]!
When hugging your thighs, of course you have to choose the thickest one to hug!
An Qi frowned and said: "But now, the passage from [Upper City] to [Lower City] must be blocked."
"Is it possible that we have to go from the edge of the city? Jump down?”
Xia En asked: “Isn’t there a teleportation spell?”
An Qi's frown deepened: "I've already tried it, but I can no longer cast spells in Elvish..."
She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.
Because on the side, Laila has already drawn a simple magic circle at the feet of everyone.
“Everyone, stand up.”
“This is a teleportation array that does not use Elvish!”
For a moment, An Qi was speechless.
Soon, in a ray of light, everyone’s figures appeared in the [Lower City] below.
It’s just that the situation here is not much better than [Upper City].
The surrounding space has been filled with water-like black fog, and visibility is extremely low.
I could only vaguely see several emerald green light sources in the black mist, and there were faint sounds of screams and fighting coming from the direction of the light sources.
The air was filled with the smell of blood that could not be ignored.
"It's so dark...so scary..."
Tracy muttered in a low voice, and hid in Laila's collar tremblingly.
Xia En looked around and found that the group of people all had similar expressions.
They do not have [lightless touch], and in this dark environment, the fear in their hearts is constantly growing.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came.
In the team, the fat businessman from [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] fell to the ground. His head disappeared, leaving only a headless body.
That is, others could not clearly see his condition, otherwise they might have screamed.
A chill arose in Xia En's back, and instinctive warning signs surged up like crazy.
He realized that there was some kind of extremely terrifying "Hunter!" hidden in the darkness.
Xia En looked decisively at Yan Yan beside him and said.
"There must be light!"
Yan Yan immediately understood, and the surging flames immediately rose from his body, igniting the black robe and lighting up the surroundings like a torch.
Immediately, without hesitation, Xia En took out the black dragon sword from the space ring.
The sword suddenly slashed forward!
