The most sincere smile appeared on Du Wei's face immediately. He laughed a few times, held his head high, and strode towards Luoxue. When he got closer, he saw the enthusiastic smile on his face, as if I'm about to go up and hug the Elf King.
"Mr. Luoxue!" Du Wei had already held Luoxue's hand with both hands, and the expression on his face was as if old friends reunited for many years. He was excited and pleased at the same time, and his voice was even more emotional: "After goodbye in the past, I am in the Northwest, and every night I can't sleep, I think of Mr. Luoxue's voice and smile. Mr. Mr. demeanor is vivid in my memory. I still want to go north this time. I don't know if I have a chance to meet you. I didn't expect you to know my heart. Invited me—even if you didn't write to me, I was going to write to you, inviting you to come to Yajin City to get drunk!"
What I said, the fire of enthusiasm might even boil the water, only Rohart who followed behind heard his face flushed, thinking: Our Lord Duke has a thick skin, it is really not covered !
Luoxue's originally calm expression suddenly became a little unnatural. She coughed and pulled her hand out of Du Wei's claws. With a strange smile on her face, she took a look at Du Wei and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I'm afraid your words are a little insincere."
"How can it be!" Du Wei immediately said solemnly, "I've missed you so much these years."
Luoxue couldn't help but have weird eyes. When she rolled her eyes, she suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Du Wei's ear: "I'm afraid, you don't want me to die, you want me to die."
Du Wei grinned: "It's the same, it's all the same."
Luoxue sighed. It had been chasing Du Weiman to the northwest, and had already learned that Duke Tulip had a dark heart and a thick skin. Now that they reunited, they were dumbfounded. But it is not surprising.
subsequently. Luoxue and Du Wei walked arm in arm, and walked into the fortress in a grand manner.
this way. Du Wei only saw that the fortress was still in chaos. The houses, buildings and streets that had been burned during the chaos in the past few days seemed to have not been repaired these days. Even some blood stains remained on the ground, but they were just washed with water at will, leaving a faint red color.
In the fortress, there were no elves to be seen, and there were orcs busy carrying wood and fodder back and forth. Du Wei watched all the way, and couldn't help being a little dazed. Most of the orcs didn't seem to be dressed up for battle. Most of the orcs didn't wear armor, but ran back and forth shirtless for easier work.
Such a place. It doesn't look like a military fortress, but a busy construction site.
Luoxue and Du Wei were just walking casually on the street, probably because Luoxue had made a special confession before, along the way, there would be orcs from far away to stop and watch, but no orcs dared to approach, even Even Luoxue herself didn't bring a single follower, and the two walked side by side, arm in arm.
Luoxue carefully looked at Du Wei's expression, and saw Du Wei's eyes flicker. He couldn't help smiling and said, "Du Wei, this is the second time you've come to this fortress—it's a pity that when you came last time, I happened to be away. Otherwise, I'm afraid our reunion won't have to wait until today."
Du Wei thought: If you were there last time. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. But he said: "Unfortunately, if I knew you were here, I would have stayed a little longer last time, and I wouldn't have left in such a hurry."
Luoxue knew that Du Wei was talking nonsense, so she was not annoyed, but suddenly said: "Du Wei, what do you think of this fortress?"
When Du Wei heard this, his heart was moved, and he thought: I donated money to the imperial government to build this fortress. All the bricks and tiles, every plant and tree are all my money. The original city defense design drawings were all for my purpose. I know it well, of course, do you still want to ask
Although I thought so in my heart, I smiled faintly: "Of course it's extremely bad. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been attacked overnight by your army, and I would have conquered it overnight."
Luoxue snorted and smiled: "You are too polite. The construction of this fortress is very rigorous. If it weren't for me having dragons to drive me, and the previous strategy of exhausting the enemy, it would have drained the morale of your human defenders. The dragons attack at night, otherwise, it will be difficult to conquer the ground. I heard that most of your country's northern defense line was built with your money, and even the design has your imagination in it—since the war started , but it really made us suffer a lot."
After hearing this, Du Wei said lightly, "So what, it's still captured by you."
When Luo Xue heard this, she also smiled lightly: "It seems that, Duke Tulip, you don't think much of this fortress anymore."
Du Wei frowned, not understanding what he meant for a while.
The two walked all the way and came to the Commander's Mansion in the city. This was originally the commander's office of the human defenders. After the fall, it naturally became the headquarters of the criminals.
Luoxue and Du Wei came in through the gate all the way. Du Wei saw that the roads around the commander's mansion were clean, and the orcs who were working far away did not dare to approach this place. And there were a few elf warriors standing at the door, all wearing silver armor with hollow pattern, handsome in appearance, seeing Luo Xue from a distance, they quickly knelt down on one knee.
The original headquarters of one's own side has now become the enemy's lair, and it has been replaced by someone else. I am afraid that it will be embarrassing at this moment, but Du Wei seems to be heartless. He said: "Last time you went to my site, but this time you are at your home court. You must treat me well, with good food and wine, but nothing less."
The two walked into the handsome mansion. Du Wei followed Luoxue to a hall that had been prepared in advance, but when he looked back, he saw Rohart following behind with a depressed expression. Du Wei and Luoxue entered. He was hesitating at the door, not knowing whether to follow, but Du Wei glanced at Luoxue and said loudly on purpose: "Rohart, you come in with me. Mr. Luoxue is talented, and you can get closer to him. It can also benefit a lot.”
At the same time, Du Wei nodded to Luoxue again, and said with a smile: "My subordinate, I was a bit reckless at first, and I didn't want to spend this time with you, but I have been trained by you to become more enlightened. What do I want to do?" Thank you very much."
Luo Xue didn't speak either. Just a faint smile, leading Du Wei into the hall.
This hall was originally the commander's hall of the human defenders. It is the place where the generals of the defending army discuss matters, and the area is very spacious, but at this moment. The three of them walked in, only to see that all the original decorations inside, such as the weapon sand table, had been emptied long ago, and there was only a long table and a few chairs inside, and some fruits had already been placed on the table. The food like this does not need to be served in a container, but is held by pieces of green leaves.
On the wall, the elves probably used spells to create a lot of plants, and vine-like branches covered the wall.
Three people walked in. Immediately outside, the elves closed the door of the hall.
Afterwards, Du Wei heard footsteps outside again and again, and in a short while, all the elves in the yard had retreated, leaving no one behind.
Du Wei smiled, and heard Luo Xue say indifferently: "Our old friends are reunited, so naturally we have to say something, so it's not good for others to hear, I called everyone out, here you and I talk, so it won't spread!"
After finishing speaking, Luoxue walked to the table on her own, and held up a green wine glass with both hands. The wine glass was exquisitely shaped, as if it was rolled into a piece of green and crystal green leaves. There is a light cup of liquid inside. Light amber color, extremely rich and moist. When I sniffed it lightly, I felt a fresh and faint fragrance, but I didn't know what it was.
"This is the wine of our elves, which is very different from the brewing of humans. Come on, Du Wei! Let me say goodbye to you for four years, and I will respect you first!"
As she spoke, Luoxue picked up the green wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then squinted her eyes and looked at Du Wei with a smile.
Du Wei came here alone anyway, if this Luoxue wanted to harm him, he didn't need to poison the wine, taking off his pants and farting, and he was very calm in his heart. But it was like a warm current flowing down the mouth all the way, and immediately felt the comfort that penetrated into the heart and lungs.
Afterwards, that faint warmth quickly spread throughout his body, as if his spirits were a little more vigorous.
"This is the secret method of our elves. It is a fruit wine made from six unique plant fruits. And... after drinking, it is more beneficial to the practice of magic power. I know you are a magician, so I prepared such a good thing— Normally, the elders in our clan can only drink this thing on special days of offering sacrifices."
Luo Xue put down her wine glass and looked at Du Wei.
Du Wei laughed, and met Luoxue's eyes, shaking his head deliberately: "Your words are insincere. Luoxue, Luoxue. With your cultivation base, can't you feel that the magic power fluctuations on my body are very different from before? ?”
Luoxue smiled lightly: "Yes, I feel it. I was curious in my heart. Back then, your magic power cultivation was already at a certain level. I originally thought that if I haven't seen you for four years, you must have made a breakthrough in your realm. When I want to meet again , your magic level should break through in one fell swoop, and you have entered the holy rank. But... for some reason, your originally proud magic power seems to be... "
"Hmph, but it seems that there is nothing left, is it?" Du Wei deliberately took the initiative to finish the second half of the sentence on behalf of Luoxue, his eyes flickered, looking at Luoxue.
Luo Xue didn't hide it, but sat down calmly, and nodded slightly.
Du Wei pondered for a while, then smiled suddenly, stretched out a finger, tapped lightly on the wine glass he had just drunk on the table, and then rolled his fingertips, the wine glass that was originally rolled like green leaves, It was quickly flattened by him, and stretched again into the shape of a flat leaf.
Luo Xue's eyes moved, and she nodded.
The green leaves of this wine glass seem ordinary, but they are actually extremely rare among the elves. They are the leaves of a magic plant uniquely cultivated by the elves. This kind of leaves are extremely strong, and they are the top of some elves. Excellent material for the powerful to craft weapons and armor. In addition to the solid body, there are also natural magical attributes in it.
Such a thin leaf seems ordinary, but if an orc smashes it with a hammer, it will never be flattened. Du Wei crushed it lightly with one finger, and Luo Xue didn't feel the slightest wave of magic power on Du Wei's body, so it was obviously caused by pure power!
"I didn't expect... you actually abandoned demons and cultivated martial arts." Luoxue sighed: "This is really beyond my expectation."
As he said that, a cold light suddenly flashed across its brows, and with a touch in his hand, the wine glass in front of him immediately emitted a hint of lavender light. He shot towards Du Wei with a surge!
Du Wei looked calm. Seeing the wine glass approaching, he took a breath. He raised his finger and pointed, and with a bang, it was poking on the wine glass. He saw the wine glass spin rapidly in the air immediately, and flew back towards Luoxue.
Luoxue looked a little surprised, raised his right hand, but seemed to make a strange gesture, flicked it far in the air, and the green wine glass suddenly divided into six petals, changing into six directions, and at the same time He shot at Du Wei again. I saw six rays of light, as fast as lightning!
Du Wei finally showed a trace of seriousness in his eyes, and he was still sitting there. Seeing the six-petalled green leaves flying in front of him, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he stretched out his hand gently, and picked them one by one in mid-air calmly. Hands are gentle, like picking flowers!
His movements didn't seem to be fast, but the six lightning-like rays of light never approached him, and he took the six-petal fragments out of the air one by one with his calm and slow movements.
After pinching it in the hand. Du Wei moved his finger, pressed it, and pressed it. When he withdrew his hand, the green leaf in front of him had re-merged. Where are the traces of half-broken existence
Luoxue saw this. Finally moved, he frowned and said, "You... have entered the holy rank with martial arts? But when we met last time, you were still very humble in the field of martial arts. In just four years, you have grown from a martial artist A novice who jumped to the holy rank? It's really shocking!"
Du Wei seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, the seemingly calm shots just now almost let him show all his strength.
He put down his hand at this moment, but because his wrist was already heavy, his back began to sweat.
Although he has an almost perverted physique, after all, he has been learning martial arts for too short a time—although he was already a holy rank at the beginning, it was at the level of magic. Including that time when he killed the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights in the arena, it was also because of his dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, plus the martial skill of "Gongyue Dance", it was not pure martial arts, and it originally had magical attributes in it .
Later, when he lost his magic power, it was equivalent to losing 70% of his abilities out of 10%. He re-practiced martial arts, and only managed to return to the holy rank recently, but his realm has already regressed a bit compared to when he went overseas to find Chris. Just a few times ago, he tried his best to use it. Luoxue's attack contained a powerful holy power. With super strength, he almost showed all his strength, and then forcibly used the rules of time, space and ground to pick off the six green leaves.
Luoxue is not a fool either, its strength is far stronger than Du Wei's, so it can be seen that Du Wei has done his best in these seemingly easy moves. But for Du Wei, in just a few years, he can break through the holy rank by practicing martial arts. This kind of miracle is always shocking.
Sighing, Luoxue looked at Du Wei and smiled: "I was worried about your decline in strength, but now it seems that you have taken a different path and walked a road that ordinary people can't imagine. It seems that I am Don't worry about you anymore."
Looking at its expression, it seems that Du Wei's strength is not bad, but it is very happy and gratified.
After staring at Du Wei for a while, Luo Xue asked in a low voice: "Du Wei, what do you think of this war?"
After hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help but sneered, shook his head and said, "It's too strange for you to ask. You are invaders, and we are just resisting to protect our homeland. It seems that there is nothing to ask about this kind of question."
Luoxue smiled softly: "Protect your homeland... But does this land belong to your human homeland?" Du Wei still shook his head: "No one can tell what happened ten thousand years ago. But now we only know that human beings Living here for 10,000 years, from generation to generation, we human beings have multiplied and established civilization on this land. For example, when you plant a fruit tree on a piece of land, when the harvest comes, a group of outsiders suddenly come. Tell you that this land belonged to them eight hundred years ago, so they want you to give up the land and all the fruit trees that have already harvested... Hmph, Luoxue, it’s you instead, are you willing!"
Luoxue sighed faintly, but she also shook her head and admitted: "That's right, it would be me instead. I wouldn't do it either."
Du Wei nodded: "What happened 10,000 years ago. Most people in this world don't know it. But I know it. From my personal emotional standpoint, maybe I will also be exiled to you in the past. There is a trace of pity for the race. But... now we want human beings to give up the homeland they have lived in for generations. That is absolutely impossible!"
Luo Xue did not speak.
Du Wei continued: "You want to live, you want to survive, and you want to return. These cannot be said to be wrong. But is it because you want to live? Should we humans give up their homes and all die? Luoxue, you are not a mindless thing like an orc, you should understand what I mean."
The Elf King was still silent. He tapped his fingers suddenly and asked in a strange tone: "But... Du Wei. With the current situation... can you see the end of this war? Can you see Got it?"
As soon as this question was asked, Du Wei suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, so he gave a wry smile, grabbed a green wine jug on the table that was shaped like a sharp-billed leaf, and poured himself a glass. After gulping it down, he sighed and shook his head: "I can't see it! Or... I can't see it for the time being."
"Ten years, thirty years, fifty years...a hundred years..." Luoxue's voice was a little difficult: "Maybe after you and me, our descendants, generation after generation, continue to fight like this! Perhaps, you humans rely on your huge land, The profound national power can beat us back again and again. However, we will launch wars of return again and again... Maybe we will reproduce the dark age 10,000 years ago, no, maybe it is far worse than that dark age longer."
Speaking of this, Luoxue looked at Du Wei: "What do you think? It's been a continuous war for a hundred years or even longer. What is left of your human civilization? How much is left?"
Du Wei was suddenly annoyed. He slapped the table vigorously, stared at Luoxue, and shouted: "Okay! Luoxue! Needless to say, you look so compassionate! Don't forget, you are the invaders! You are the ones who started the war!"
"But are we wrong? We just want to survive!" Luo Xue narrowed her eyes, with a cold look in her eyes.
Du Wei sneered again and again, staring into Luoxue's eyes: "You invited me here, if you just talk nonsense. Then Luoxue, I am really disappointed. You will do such boring things too!"
Du Wei tried to anger Luoxue with these words, but Luoxue heard it, but she didn't show any anger at all. Instead, she stood up leisurely, paced slowly, came to the wall, raised her hand, and swept it at the wall.
The wall was originally covered with green and crystal-clear vines, but under Luo Xue's sweep, they suddenly retreated in all directions without a sound. After the vines retreated, they exposed the bottom of the wall, revealing something impressively!
Du Wei followed Luo Xuedi's hand to look over, and after only one glance, he immediately held his breath, widened his eyes, and stared at the things on the wall.
In the hall, Rohart had been quietly staying on the sidelines, no matter whether Du Wei and Luoxue tried to make a move or sharp words, there was no room for him to intervene, but now his eyes cast on this wall, looking After glancing twice, he suddenly couldn't help but let out a low voice: "Ah!"
Du Wei stared at the things on the wall for a long time, the expression on his face was uncertain, his lips were tightly pursed, and his fingers could not help but clenched into fists.
In the hall, there was a moment of silence.
After a long time, the breathing of the three of them gradually eased from the heavy, and Du Wei turned his head to stare at Luoxue: "Hmph! Luoxue, what do you mean by making this thing?!"
Luoxue shook her head, stood by the wall, stared at the things on the wall, did not turn her head, but said leisurely: "Du Wei, do you think it is possible for us and you, several races, to completely wipe out each other? How big is it?"
Du Wei was not lying at the moment, and immediately shook his head: "The possibility is very small, very small. It is easy to win and lose, but it is difficult to completely wipe out the opponent!"
"That's it." Luoxue turned her head and looked at Du Wei with a smile on her face: "Since neither of us can exterminate each other, then...why not coexist?"
Du Wei gritted his teeth secretly, but squinted his eyes and looked at the wall again.
On the wall is a map of the mountains and rivers of Roland Continent!
At this moment, this map has been divided into several colors... Originally, the entire continent was the territory of the Roland Empire, but on this map, the northern end of the continent includes the Frozen Forest, and the south of the Frozen Forest to the north of the Empire. The front of the square line, facing the sea in the east, starts from that river, all the way west, along the main fortress in the middle, and then to the Qilima Mule Mountains in the west. The north of this line of defense has been painted in different colors!
To the south of the defense line, the color of the map is white, and "Roland Empire" is marked on it.
To the north of the defense line, it was divided into several small pieces: the original frozen forest was painted silver, and the words on it were: elves.
South of the forest and north of the human line of defense, the land of about one and a half provinces (that is, the bitter cold land in the north that humans have given up at present) is painted brown and marked: orcs. And the northern part of the Kilimaro Mountains in the west was cut off, painted black, and marked: Dwarves.
"Our elves have never been a warlike race. We only ask for the lowest conditions: survival. We have no ambitions or needs for the land. We elves are a race that lives in the forest. This frozen forest, in ancient times, It belongs to the territory of our elves, and now you humans don’t need this forest, just leave it to our elves to inhabit! The dwarves are not born to live in the plains, and the mountains are their best home. No, there are thousands of miles of mountains, enough for the dwarves to inhabit... The only problem is the orcs. In terms of living habits, the orcs are the closest to you humans. They live on the plains, can build houses, and build kingdoms. However, you When humans established this line of defense, they had already given up this piece of land in the north—although you humans consider this land to be a barren land, it is just right for orcs to inhabit... "
Luoxue said here lightly, and took a look at Du Wei: "Ten thousand years ago, we used to coexist on the mainland, but because of that accident, the status quo has been caused for ten thousand years. Then, why can't we restore to ten thousand years ago?" The situation of coexistence years ago? Whether it is human beings or us criminals, we all used to be the inhabitants of this continent... "
Du Wei suddenly laughed, he made a gesture, interrupted Luoxue's words, looked at Luoxue, and after a while, his eyes gradually showed a bit of sincerity, and then he Sighed.
"Luoxue, Luoxue! What should I say? Should I say you are great? Or should I mock you for being too childish? Too whimsical?"
