Hill considered it for a while, nodded and agreed to Ivan's proposal.
Although she really wanted to continue looking for her mother in this undead kingdom, the previous facts had proved that her own force could not protect herself here.
Although the darkness has receded, there are still many demons entrenched in this country, including many powerful demons fused with underworld warriors. These are not enemies that she can deal with.
Even Leia, who had undergone the most rigorous training in the Heavenly Palace, was swallowed by the great demon here. Even if she encountered the guardian knight, she would not be able to guarantee her safe arrival at her mother's place 100%.
Ivan looked strong, but Hill was not naive enough to ask him to escort him to his mother's house.
It would be better to say that Ivan can rescue her and provide her with a safe place. In this doomsday era, he has done his best.
So Ivan took out the flower ring and put it on his hand.
Space replacement, he and Hill both came to the circular square.
With the death of the Demon King, the time here seems to have changed. The sunset in the sky is set, and it is replaced by a picturesque starry sky. The sky is full of stars, bright and beautiful.
The tomb guard girl did not continue to weave the wreath, but came to the dilapidated fountain in the center of the circular square and looked up at the starry sky.
Her eyes were covered with cloth strips, and she couldn't see the starry sky, but she still made a gesture of looking up.
Ivan took Hill to her side.
"Master Knight."
Hearing the footsteps of Ivan and Hill, the gravekeeper girl turned around and asked him:
"You're back? Did you bring back any sensible people this time?"
"Well... This child is called Hill, and I heard that it is the child of Hilther, the King of Dawn."
Ivan pushed Hill gently over.
"… Hill?"
The tomb-keeper girl stretched out her hand and gently touched Princess Light's cheek, then smiled:
"I can't see it, but you must have been born as beautiful as your mother."
Hill was touched on the cheek by this young girl who looked young, but inexplicably felt the majesty of an elder from her. She held her breath and asked carefully:
"May I ask you are?"
"Just a former friend of your mother, an insignificant elf."
The tomb guard girl replied gently.
"Can you get her out of the underworld space and stay here directly?"
Ivan asked.
"Can."
The tomb-keeper girl stretched out her hands to hold Hill's hands, and a faint light radiated from her palm. Ivan felt a change and dislocation in space, and then the tomb-keeper girl said:
"Okay, let this child stay here for the time being, until her family and knights find her."
Hill thanked her, and the gravekeeper girl shook her head and said with a smile:
"It's alright, I used to be friends with your mother. I think you must have the same eyes as your mother, with a pair of star-like eyes."
"That used to be your eyes."
Ivan suddenly interrupted the tomb-keeper girl and said to her:
"Isn't it? Eve."
"… "
The tomb guard girl suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, she asked softly with some choking:
"You remember? Lord Knight?"
"Thanks to that Demon King, I recalled something."
Ivan replied.
"Hill, you go to the next room to rest first."
The tomb-keeper girl pointed to a small stone house on the side and said to Hill:
"I cleaned it there. Although it is very crude, at least it is not dirty."
"Um."
Hill had a premonition that there was something she didn't want to hear between Ivan and the gravekeeper girl, so she nodded very kindly, left the circular square, and entered a room next to her.
"Master Knight."
The tomb-keeper girl sat on the guardrail of the dilapidated fountain, and then patted the place beside her with some coquettishness.
"Come and sit."
Ivan sat beside her, and the tomb-keeper girl's body was slightly tilted, and she actually leaned on his shoulder.
"It's been a long time since the beginning of the Era of Light..."
She looked up at the stars in the sky.
"Although I know that the era we created is very beautiful, for me, there is no difference. Instead, I feel that the dark era can make me feel warmer."
Ivan touched her silver-white hair, then stretched out his hand and gently took off the strip of cloth covering the eyes of the tomb guard girl.
During the process of removing the cloth strip, the tomb-keeper's body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of letting Ivan see the eyes under the cloth strip, but she finally complied and let Ivan take it off smoothly strips of cloth.
Under the cloth strip, there are tightly closed eyes, and there are some residual bloodstains on the corners of the eyes. The pair of beautiful eyes that were unparalleled in Ivan's memory are now gone.
Ivan stretched out his hands to hold her cheeks, feeling a little distressed, he asked:
"This is... Mrs. Heather, did Uriel do it?"
"You actually know?"
The gravekeeper girl Eve gently rubbed his palm and asked back.
"It's not hard to guess, from the time you said Hill [same as your mother's, with a pair of star-like eyes], and now looking at your appearance, I probably know who took your eyes away."
Ivan replied:
"I can't remember many things, but I still remember that from the time I took Heather out of the human race and stepped into the elf territory, Uriel had secret feelings for Heather, and I also saw It can be seen that the person Hilther wants most is you. Since you did not become the queen of the King of Dawn after I was sacrificed, then the queen is naturally Uriel, why did she take your eyes away? "
Eve turned her head to face the sky, then tilted slightly and fell on Ivan's lap.
"At that time, when I learned that you were sent to the throne of human sacrifice by Helther and the others, I knew that Helther and the others betrayed you. Helther thought I didn't know it, but he saw me being driven from the elves. Come and propose to me, I naturally refused."
She recalled the past.
"At that time, apart from me, Tris was the only one out of the nine knights who didn't betray you. It can be seen that he also guessed something at that time. Afterwards, he quietly came to find me, and I told him the truth. So We each activated our influence in each race. I exhausted my resources and contacts, and at the cost of withdrawing from the leadership of the elf race, I built this tomb city around the throne of human sacrifice and made a The black iron knight, guard you and the soldiers buried here. And Tris took part of the human race away and went to the wilderness to secretly establish a country and maintain his belief in you. He was later arrested by Hilther and the others were denounced as heretics, and they carried out several crusades and were displaced several times."
Ivan was silent, and he felt a pain in his heart, thinking of the inhuman demon god in the lava lake.
"And me, after you died, Hilther naturally didn't give up his thoughts on me. He also considered forcibly using force on me, but because my spell strength is higher than his, and my prestige is not weak. For him, so he can only think about it."
Eve whispered:
"Just like he misses me, Uriel always misses him, so one day, Uriel quietly came to the cemetery and found me."
