Chapter 253 "Tonight, stay..."
Xia En's logic is very simple.
Just like the destruction of the elves, there are many mysteries.
In more ancient times, the sudden demise of the ancient dragon race was also one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world.
The truth has long been buried by the sands of history, shrouded behind layers of fog.
These two races that ruled different eras have many similarities.
Especially their sudden destruction, there is a high degree of unity.
The only difference is that the elves have an additional [Curse of Aphasia], but the ancient dragons have not lost their language.
If we say that the elves really perished because of the influence of the Elvish language on the true names of the gods.
Is the extinction of the ancient dragon also due to this reason?
The answer is obviously no.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Besides, ancient dragons are different from elves who are good at learning and research. They rely more on their own bodies and talents.
Even without studying or training, just growing naturally, Gu Long will have legendary level combat power when he becomes an adult.
So, it is impossible for them to conduct in-depth research on their own language like Laila's mother did.
This also shows that there are other reasons for the demise of the ancient dragon.
Perhaps, it was also that reason that led to the destruction of the elves.
Laila’s mother’s research was just a trigger.
Another fact that can support this conjecture is...
A hundred years have passed since the last [Wrath of God] in [Emerald Island], and the elves are still the strongest in the world. Big race.
The prosperity and prosperity of [City of Giant Trees] also shows that the time for the elves still seems to have not yet come.
There is still a long time before sudden destruction.
Xia En preconceivedly regarded [God's Wrath] as the main cause of the elves' demise.
But now it seems that this may not be the case.
Laila is naturally extremely smart to be in the position she is in today.
As soon as she thought about it, she figured out the reason why Xia En mentioned Gu Long, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
"You mean..."
"Even without my mother's research, [God's wrath] might still come? Will the elves still perish?"
Shane nodded: "Yes."
"But it's just my guess."
"After all, the age of ancient dragons is too far away from us."
Laila thought carefully for a long time, and finally sighed: "In any case, the advent of [Wrath of God] has something to do with my mother. Relationship."
"This is a responsibility I cannot shirk."
"But..."
The girl who was about to become the queen raised her head and smiled at Xia En. There were stars twinkling in his eyes.
"After hearing your words, I feel much better."
"Thank you, Xia En."
Hearing this, Xia En felt a little sad.
From the moment they met until now, Laila has never asked him how he came here or how long he will stay here.
Xia En also tacitly did not mention this matter.
But he knew very well that he would eventually leave.
His current body is just a [projection body].
When the progress bar in the corner of your vision reaches (0/100), it’s time for Xia En to leave.
At that time, Laila will become alone again and have to face the unknown future and disaster alone.
Thinking of this, Xia En sighed: "That's all I can do."
"What do you mean only these?"
Laila opened her eyes wide and said very seriously.
“Honestly, this is the happiest day I have had in more than a hundred years.”
“Not only did I eat delicious food that I hadn’t eaten in a long time, but I also let go of my guard. and worries, playing in the city"
"The most important thing is that I also met the people I have always wanted to see."
When she said this, Laila's beautiful eyes were always staring at Xia En.
Xia En couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, because he saw...
At this moment, there was only his reflection in those eyes.
To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has encountered such a "straight ball" offensive.
He had to admit that these hundred years had not only improved Laila's strength and knowledge, but also shaped her character.
Now Laila is no longer the shy and timid girl she used to be. She only keeps many thoughts buried deep in her heart.
Of course, she will still be shy if she is shy.
The reddish cheeks and fluttering eyelashes are proof.
But Laila could endure the shyness and say these words, which is enough to show her change.
Shane made up his mind and was about to respond when he heard Laila continue.
"So many happy things are added together, and the result is a wonderful time like a dream."
"But there is still a small regret in my heart."
"Mr. Xia En ", are you willing to do me a favor to make up for this regret?"
Laila said it sincerely, and the hint of regret and sadness didn't seem to be fake, so Shane naturally had no reason to refuse.
“Of course.”
Hearing this, Laila's face suddenly bloomed with a beautiful smile like a flower.
"As long as you are willing."
The next moment.
The teleportation circle appeared again under their feet.
After a brief moment of dizziness.
Shane found that he had left the previous library tower.
The first thing that catches the eye is a large bed made of woven vegetation.
"...Huh?"
Xia En raised his eyebrows and realized that something was wrong.
First of all, this large bed is woven from a special kind of plant. It looks extremely soft and exudes a refreshing fragrance of vegetation.
On the big bed, there are many soft flower petals scattered, which makes the big bed look fresh and exquisite.
The wonderful thing is that there is a faint fragrance in the air around the big bed.
It's like the scent of flowers, or something else.
I have to say, this is indeed a good bed!
After people see it, they will naturally have the urge to go up and roll around.
Xia En's peripheral vision glanced around him, and he immediately recognized that this was probably the interior of a palace.
Except for the big bed, the interior furnishings of the palace are quite simple, and only some details reveal the girl's delicate thoughts.
There are flowers placed in the corners and some vines climbing on the palace walls.
There are also many books placed on the bedside cabinet.
In a corner of the palace, there is even a disassembled steam engine!
On the surface, this place doesn't really look like a girl's boudoir, but Shane can tell at a glance -
This palace is Laila's bedroom.
Realizing this, even with Xia En's determination, his throat couldn't help but feel dry.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone.
Laila’s intention of bringing him here seems to be clear at a glance.
But...
Can [Projection Body] really do that kind of thing?
Although he can breathe and eat, he has never tested his ability in that area.
But since he can control blood, then controlling a certain part should also...
Xia En's brain was a little confused, so he started thinking about some messy things to distract his attention. at the same time.
Laila looked at him with a smile.
This girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, and now under the light of fluorescent light, she is even more beautiful.
The slim and delicate figure is hidden under the wide queen's dress.
Nobility and innocence, purity and charm.
These contradictory temperaments are now harmoniously combined, bursting out with amazing charm.
At this moment, her grace was breathtakingly beautiful.
At this time, a faint fragrance came - a fragrance similar to that around the big bed.
Laila hugged Xia En and said softly.
"The favor I want to ask you for is..."
"Tonight, stay..."
Xia En never expected that the regret Laila wanted to fill would be this.
Let him agree in advance and there will be no room for regret.
But such carefulness is not annoying at all.
Honestly, in front of Laila like this, Shane couldn't say no.
But the question is...
Why refuse?
Just one night...
Xia En opened his mouth, and the words of promise were already on his lips.
But suddenly!
boom! ! !
A roar as huge as thunder suddenly came from outside the palace.
Following this, there was an extremely violent vibration.
The walls, floor, ceiling... not only began to tremble, but also experienced considerable deformation.
This is no small matter.
This is the palace of a candidate queen, and even this place was affected by this shock, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation.
Shane and Laila looked at each other, and the charming atmosphere before was gone.
Although it is a pity, they are all smart people and naturally know the importance of things.
“Where is this palace located in [City of Giant Woods]?”
Xia En asked immediately.
"This is on a branch of the Elf Mother Tree..."
Halfway through her words, Laila's expression suddenly changed: "No! The enemy's target is the Elf Mother Tree!"
Laila La acted extremely decisively, quickly cast a teleportation spell, and brought Xia En outside the palace.
The two looked down, their expressions becoming ugly.
Under the trunk of the Elf Mother Tree, dark flames were burning, burning the vigorous vitality in the air.
Continuous explosions sounded from all directions on the tree trunk.
Obviously, it was this explosion that caused the elf mother tree to shake violently.
"This power..."
Laila looked solemn and murmured: "It's the dark elf!?"
As the queen who is about to ascend the throne, Laila La naturally has a lot of understanding of the hostile group of dark elves.
But at this time, Xia En noticed the strange movement in the other direction of [City of Giant Woods] and couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
"That's..."
Starting from the edge of the city, a dark, deep wave slowly but surely surged over.
In any area encompassed by that wave, all light was quickly swallowed up and covered up.
The city that was once bustling and lively was less than half submerged by the wave of darkness in the blink of an eye.
And Xia En is no stranger to this kind of dark wave.
Didn’t the last [Wrath of God] in [Emerald Island] start with such a wave?
Could it be said that another [God’s Wrath] has descended on the [City of Giant Woods]?
Laila also obviously recognized the arrival of the dark wave, and her expression changed slightly.
But after all, she has experienced a hundred years of growth, and is even about to become a queen.
Therefore, Laila said loudly without hesitation.
“People of [City of Giant Woods], guests from all over the world, don’t panic!”
“I am the elf queen who is about to ascend the throne, Leila Vivian!”
"Please take refuge at the nearest shelter immediately!"
"Elf warriors, pick up your weapons and defend your homeland!"
Her voice was blessed by magic and spread throughout the city.
For a moment, it drowned out the huge roar.
Not only that, the magic patterns on the surface of Laila's long skirt suddenly bloomed with an unusually dazzling jade green light.
Like a miniature sun, rising slowly in this gradually chaotic [City of Giant Trees].
Xia En couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He looked at Laila, who was acting vigorously and resolutely at this time. Her face no longer had a charming look, only decisiveness, resoluteness and majesty remained!
That is what a queen should look like!
In other words, the beautiful appearance before was a beauty that would only be revealed in front of Xia En alone.
Moreover, judging from the special magic pattern and the shelters that have been built in the city...
Laila had been prepared to deal with this kind of situation many years ago. Preparation for the situation.
"Laila, you have really grown up a lot..."
Xia En sighed in his heart, feeling slightly happy about this.
But...
Leila Vivian?
This was the first time that Shane heard Laila's full name.
The name Vivian inevitably reminded him of the ghost lady from the Black Swan.
Xia En secretly guessed: "Do Vivian and Laila really have some kind of special connection?"
At the beginning, next to Vivian's crystal coffin, he happened to find [ Lyra's Magical Notes].
If you think about it, this is probably more than just a coincidence.
It’s just that now is not the time to think about these issues.
After Laila appeared, several elf guards wearing magic pattern armor soon came to her side.
Laila asked the leading guard: "What happened?"
"Is it the work of the dark elves?"
The guard said solemnly: "Yes. "
"The group of bastards who betrayed the Goddess of Life suddenly emerged from the ground and used their secret power to trigger a special explosion, causing serious damage to the Elf Mother Tree."
"Underground?"
Laila frowned slightly.
This attack by the dark elves has obviously been planned for a long time, and the purpose is to destroy the elf mother tree in the [City of Giant Trees].
That pitch-black flame seems to be the nemesis of the Elf Mother Tree.
Preventing the flames from continuing to spread is undoubtedly a top priority.
Thinking of this, Laila said decisively: "I will extinguish those black flames, and you guys will try to protect the safety of other civilians."
"In that darkness, the Elvish language will be sealed, but the magic pattern equipment will still be there." It can be used."
After giving the order, Laila took Xia En's hand and used the teleportation circle again, ignoring the surprised looks of others.
When they reappeared, the two of them were on the ground next to the Elf Mother Tree.
The black flames are rapidly destroying the surface of the giant tree, igniting the vigorous vitality.
It's just that after the black flame burned, what was left was not charcoal, but a trace of decay and dryness.
Rather than burning, it is more like greedily sucking the vitality of the Elf Mother Tree.
Xia En's eyes narrowed: "This is the power of [Hirthy Siming]!"
