"At first glance, it looks like angels only have one more pair of wings than we do.
No different from us.
Unfortunately, except for me, almost all the elves were respectful to the angels, just as they were respectful to me.
Angel is a beautiful legend.
It was so beautiful that many elves didn't dare to look up to see what the angel in front of them looked like, and just knelt down.
There is nothing we can do about it. In our culture, angels are placed in too high a position.”
Mingtu Saiqiute's words revealed a hint of helplessness, as if she felt sad for the elves who worshipped angels so much except her.
“Many people yearn for poetry and distant places.
We have never seen the lives of angels, so we naturally assume that their lives are better than ours.
Because we have never seen it, we always simulate its most beautiful appearance in our minds.
This is a very common psychology.
If you keep hearing that a place is bad, you can't help but imagine how bad that place is. Even if you have never seen it, you will give it a bad impression and criticize it.
But what does the distance look like
I'm afraid you'll only know if you actually go there.
For the first time, I began to waver in what I believed in.
The more I realized that they were just like us, the more inexplicable fear I felt in my heart.
So, at that time, when I was invited to become an angel, I rejected the request of those angels.
But some people cannot stop yearning for angels. Angels select the best of our elves and let them transform into angels.
If the elf in your team was present, he would definitely be picked.
I just stood aside and watched everything happen, wanting to stop it, but ultimately unable to take a single step forward.
I once asked an elf who was about to undergo the transformation ceremony, "Will your family feel lonely if you undergo the transformation ceremony like this?"
I will never forget the look of surprise the elf gave me, and he replied, 'My family will be proud of me, and elves can live a long time, and I will definitely see you again one day.'
I didn't know how to refute, and I was also confused at the time. As a result, I just watched them grow wings.
However, I have never regretted my choice to stay.
Especially after traveling again with Laux for this world."
Mingtu Saiqiute played with the key and smiled slightly.
Yang Yu listened quietly, thought for a moment, and asked the next question: "Angels come to this world not only to help the elves complete their transformation, right
Moreover, it seems that they don't come whenever they want. If they could come whenever they want, there should be a lot of records of transformation in these nearly ten thousand years.
As a result, a transformation ceremony was held more than four hundred years ago.
What is the purpose of angels coming into this world?"
“Unfortunately, I didn’t hear the details.
All we know is that they seemed to need some manpower, so they found us.
Helping some elves complete their transformation is also for better performance of work.
As for what kind of work it was, they didn't say clearly, but they seemed to be looking for something.
But the angel appeared here, probably because of the goddess's order," Mingtu Saikyuu replied.
Putting his hand on his chin, Yang Yu fell into thought.
When Yang Yu was in the dragon's knowledge base, he also looked up some information about the angel race, but the information was very general and even mixed in a lot of legends and folk stories, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
The angels seemed to be deliberately avoiding the dragon's surveillance magic, and no trace of them could be found at all.
“By the way, it seems that the angels can fold their wings.
They only unfold when needed, and after completing the transformation ritual, they fold their wings and transform into ordinary humans and disappear into the forest of elves." Mingtu Saiqiute added.
"So, we don't know if there are angels lurking in this world? Can't we tell they are angels just by looking at their appearance?"
In response to Yang Yu's question, Ming Tu Sai Qiu nodded.
I don't know if I can rely on the system panel to identify the angels hiding in the crowd.
No, the system may not be reliable either.
Yang Yu then asked Mingtu Saiqiute a lot of questions, including all the wars between the two worlds she had experienced, the changes in this world, and the situation of the brave Laux and his companions.
Mingtu Saiqiute did not deliberately avoid these questions. He enthusiastically told Yang Yu everything he knew and shared many interesting stories.
In exchange, Yang Yu also told Mingtu Saiqiute part of his adventure story so far.
After two or three hours of conversation, Yang Yu asked his last question:
"I heard that you died because you were injured by the devil while protecting your people. Can you tell me the details of what happened?"
Hearing this question, Ming Tu Sai Qiu Te drew circles on the table with his fingers, not knowing where to start.
After a while, Mingtu Saiqiute nodded and decided to start from the beginning.
At the beginning, Mingtu Saiqiute described the scene of the elves living in peace, and then talked about the abnormalities around the Fallen Feather City.
Although the elves of the Fallen Feather City also grow certain crops, their main source of food still relies on gathering and hunting.
Before the incident, the amount of wild fruits that could be gathered and the amount of prey that could be hunted around the City of Fallen Feathers became increasingly scarce, and many elves were forced to go deeper into the forest to hunt and gather.
Then, tragedy struck.
A large number of elves never returned. Mingtu Saiqiute organized people to search, but most of the searchers also never returned.
In the end, it was an elf who was corrupted by the devil and escaped under the protection of his companions, and told Mingtu Saiqiute about the devil's invasion.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Mingtu Saiqiute immediately recalled all the elves who were out, organized a guard, and also asked his compatriots in the elf villages scattered in the Elf Forest to take refuge in the Fallen Feather City.
When Mingtu Saiqiute gave the order, many elves were killed.
The devil seemed to be able to temporarily gain more powerful strength by devouring monsters and elves. After several days of premeditated devouring, the devil attacked the City of Fallen Feathers and destroyed the barrier of the City of Fallen Feathers.
Mingtu Saiqiute acted decisively and took the elves' secret treasure.
Thanks to the efforts of several priests and Mingtu Saiqiute, the demon was finally repelled.
But many elves died in that battle, and Mingtu Saiqiute was also infected with a curse. His body seemed to be hollowed out, and he became weaker day by day, and finally died.
During the conversation with Mingtu Saiqiute, Yang Yu learned some skills that only demons use, but he had no idea where the demons came from and why they attacked the elves.
This was also the first time she had seen a demon in the two or three thousand years she had lived.
