The Alder clan, this is a clan buried deep in history, as the shadow eagle of the unified empire of mankind in the Second Age, not to mention the documents that record this clan, I am afraid that its existence is unknown.
Among the various materials left over from the Second Age, few traces of its existence can be found. Probably only the Aqiman royal family has some detailed records of Alder, but this is obviously not the Acate of Roya. Heirs can get it.
Because of this, Roja has always had little understanding of the enemies of the ancestors, but the boy never expected that this time through this heart, Roja accidentally learned some information buried in history. .
After watching the three most memorable episodes of Veronica’s life, Roja’s heart was almost irresistibly filled with grief and anger. In the last fire and screams, Veronica as a mother made The choice moved the boy, and based on his last memory, Roja basically guessed what happened.
According to the family meeting in the second paragraph of memory, the Alder family, or the human world it guards, should have encountered some trouble, and there was more than one trouble. The result was to divide the troops and fight on multiple lines. Veronica was pregnant because of her pregnancy. He stayed in his home after giving birth to a child, but was attacked by the enemy and died in order to protect his tribe.
At the end of the Second Age, those who were capable of attacking the Alder family were probably only the believers of the Savior who were the most powerful at the time. This battle that remained in Veronica’s memory should be the first time the believers of the Savior took action, and If Roja is right, this incident may be a turning point for the Alder family from prosperity to decline.
For a family, everything can be obtained quickly. Wealth, territory, and army are not impossible to possess in a short period of time. This is especially true for the Alder family, but there is only one thing that cannot be done, that is population.
Although few strong members of the Alder family died as a result of this attack, ordinary family members suffered heavy casualties. The death of this part of the old, weak, women and children will cause the family’s population to decrease sharply, plus a series of subsequent series. Crisis and the danger of bloodlines, the population decline of the Alders is almost inevitable.
The black-haired boy who thought of these sighed secretly. Through the memory of a family member, Luo Ya inferred that these could be said to be the limit. However, what he did not expect was that after the three memories came to an end, there was unexpected reward.
That is part of the memory of the tree man sacrifice using Veronica's heart.
Originally, as a curse, Veronica's Heart could not have the function of recording the user's memory, but this spell with Veronica's heart as a component is very special, so it needs to maintain its vitality. , And buried in the tree man's body.
The treant race has always been a representative of vitality, even this fallen dark treant. Because of this, even in the past thousand years, Veronica’s heart has remained in good condition, and in the long time. His soul was naturally contaminated with the memory of some tree people offering sacrifices.
For Luo Ya, it was different from the previous memories. He could see and hear the surrounding situation more clearly, but there was no logic at all. The chaotic and disorganized memories revealed crazy memories, and the many things he saw made him shudder.
For example, in the previous second, Roja saw the scene of people saluting to him respectfully under the sunny sky, but the next moment it turned into a dim plain, and the surroundings were crowded with grim-looking dead bodies. The scene, the next moment is in the lofty mountains, the tree people are absorbing the nutrients of the earth gradually growing.
There is no logic, no order, but the occasionally flashed content is shocking, and even the san value is crazy, but even so, Luo Ya still resisted the reading and tried his best to collect information.
In the constant piecing together, the black-haired boy basically grasped the situation of the tree man offering sacrifices. He was born thousands of years ago in the mountains in the far east. Because of the mist shrouded in the mountains, he did not grow up well at the beginning. They are all weak, but because of the nature of the tree people, no one wants to leave this familiar land.
In this case, the frail tree man put forward different opinions and chose to embark on the migration journey alone. After more than ten years of hard work, it finally walked out of the misty mountains, when it first appeared. When there was no fog to block the sunlight, the magic power in the tree began to activate like never before, making it grow rapidly.
Since then, this tree man has deeply worshiped the sun in the sky, and after unexplained years of growth, he entered the world and became a priest who served the sun god, and his status gradually improved over time. Eventually became a priest in the city that never sleeps.
Up to this point, the memory of Shuren is still an inspirational story. In Luo Ya's view, it is the same as that of a kid who disregards his parents' opposition to go out and work hard. After many years, success and fame will have the same effect, but it is a pity that all the goodness ends here. NS.
As the closest to the gods, the priests, including the tree-man, kept the [Poltas’ pupils] at the top of Evernight City. However, the fall of the savior changed everything. [Potas’s pupils] were after the fall of the savior. The light of the sun that illuminates everything quickly turned into a seductive madness and depraved magic pupil, and the priests closest to this artifact were immediately affected the most.
Under the shining light, the whole city began to enter chaos and madness. The priests started fighting for the artifact, and the people who fell into madness in the city also started to kill. The corpses of various races on the street were layered on top of each other, and the screams lit up everywhere. From a skyrocketing flames.
After falling into madness, the Treant’s memory was very confused. The turmoil of the Evernight City seemed to have attracted the attention of all races at that time. A large number of crazy fallen people were surrounded and killed on a plain, and the Treant relied on the past. Memories, with 【Pupils of Portasi】hidden in the mountains and jungles.
During this period, a large number of warriors of various races searched it, trying to find and destroy the magic weapon turned into by the eyes of the savior, but they did not find the trace of the treant, and the fallen treant priest carried 【Portas The pupil] began a hidden life, until many years later, the followers of the savior found it with guidance.
The treants at that time had been degenerate to the extreme due to their long-term contact with [Photas’ Pupils]. In order to regain their basic consciousness, the fallen men at that time used the human heart as a curse, and degenerated it with Madly transferred part of it, and taught it the curse of free movement developed by the fallen tree people using part of the human body.
Based on this, the tree-man sacrifice holding the artifact became one of the leaders of the fallen, and participated in the attack on the Alder family. Veronica's heart was obtained at that time, and the tree-man sacrifice later The Alder family fought several times, but although they were injured, they never died.
Because there is still crazy emotions, the tree’s memory is very confused, but I have to say that the information Roja wants is exactly what happened when he was with the believers of the savior in the years after the tree’s fall. In the constant search, a scene appeared under the unremitting efforts of the teenager, and Luo Ya got unexpected information.
It was in a dimly lit room with almost no light source. The fallen tree man was hiding in the darkness. In front of the tree man’s sight, there was a man with blurred cheeks. The moment he saw this man, Roya’s The mood can't help but fluctuate, because this person is the [collector] who had a confrontation with him once.
[Collector] is sitting on the opposite side, touching the curse container on the table in front of you. The container is a lightly fluorescent jar with a dark solution of medicine obviously inside. Something like a meatball is floating in it, looking like a human organ.
"Finally, are you finally gathering? As long as you get that part, Alder's damn seal will no longer be able to stop me..."
[Collector] He touched the container and said so, while the fallen tree man pointed to his body and spoke a language that Roja couldn't understand. The man shook his head when he saw this.
"Hehe, Okter, don't be excited, I don't lack your heart, what I lack is other parts, it doesn't matter, the blood of that clan still exists, and we still have a chance."
The man's words ended here, and the fallen treants who heard these regained their silence, and the picture was distorted, and began to be replaced by other bloody content.
Yes, this is the most valuable thing that Luo Ya found in the fragmented memory of the fallen tree man after suffering torture. Although it was only a scene and a few words, the amount of information contained shocked the black-haired teenager. .
[Collector], this title Roja used to be the name given to the unnamed president in the tasting meeting, but now it does not seem to be the case, but has a certain meaning, through its dialogue with the fallen tree man , It can basically be determined that he is collecting the remains of the dead in the Alder family.
Although Shia had the tradition of collecting enemy bones in order to show strength, it obviously did not include internal organs, and the [collector] himself had already stated the purpose, which was the so-called seal of the Alder family.
The seal of the Alder House in the Second Age naturally did not know what Roja was, but through the reaction of the Fallen Treant, the black-haired boy was able to figure out the general content.
The tree man worship is named Okter. After hearing the words of the [collector], he was excited to give up the heart of Veronica, as a long-time use of it to incarnate humans and suppress the tree man’s madness. Charm, this heart is obviously not something that a tree can easily send out. In fact, it has been protecting this heart during the battle with Roja.
So what is it for to make it excitedly sacrifice important curses? Considering its former high priest's status and current situation, there is almost only one answer to this question, and that is the resurrection of the savior.
With the solution of this puzzle, it became clear whether it was Alder or the Acate family for a long time, the reason why the followers of the savior were staring at them.
Although it is not stated in the history, I am afraid that the fallen savior has been sealed by various races after he fell asleep to prevent his followers from awakening the savior. This step was completed by the Alder family, who has the blood of the king, as the survivors of Shia. of.
Because of the various races’ blows and the existence of the seal, the fallen have never been able to awaken the savior, but the savior’s short awakening in the late Second Age created opportunities for his followers, but when the believers wanted to fully awaken him, It was discovered that no one could enter the dormant enchantment except for the blood awakened ones of the Alder clan.
Because of this, the believers of the savior will frantically attack the Alder family, seize the remains of the bloodline awakened, and want to enter the seal in some way, but according to the words of [collector], they are close to completion.
"This puzzle mixed with blood and hatred, I am afraid that it has reached the last piece, which means that in the next time, [collector] will definitely attack us, and neither the senior sister nor I will be defeated. "
The black-haired boy said so seriously, Lilian fell into silence when he heard the words. After learning about the conspiracy of the fallen, the lives of the two were no longer their own business, and they were more likely to become enemies and enter the savior. The key to where you are, releases endless calamities.
The invisible pressure is enveloped between the two, even Lilian, who has always been calm and calm, frowned. If the two in the past only hated the cult, then now they will never die for the fallen. State now.
Whether it is for the blood of the ancestors, the savior’s resuscitation of a worldwide crisis, or for their own lives, the two who have the blood of the Akat family in this era are the dead enemies of the fallen, and they will not completely break the other’s conspiracy. , The two will never have peace.
The girl with black hair and purple eyes thought of this and looked at her side, looking at Luo Ya who was thinking about it for a long time, and frowned when she recalled the words of the boy before.
Roja told Lilian that he could not be defeated. Although there is nothing wrong with it, there is always a feeling that girls just need to defend themselves. But can this problem be solved by defense? Beware of enemy attacks all the time. No one can tolerate that kind of life, and no one will never show flaws.
Lilian knew these things herself, how could Roya, who was turning his head fast, couldn't think of it? So why did he say this, inducing the girl to adopt defensive tactics
I am afraid there is only one answer.
"Is it just not defeated? I can do it. After all, the performance of [Ten Cities] is very good only in terms of defense, but... let the beloved fight, but I am safe. Locally, I can't do this kind of thing."
"Senior sister, what are you talking about..."
"What am I talking about should you know the most, right?"
Looking at the teenager next to her, the black-haired and purple-eyed girl said so calmly. Her amethyst-like eyes stared at Loya's cheek, as if she had determined how the teenager would act, and in Lilian's way. Under his eyes, Luo Ya's eyes couldn't help but shake slightly.
"Let me live a safe life under the protection of heavy soldiers, but solve the source of the problem by myself. That's what you think? Tell me about it because you are worried about my carelessness, otherwise you may go without saying a word. Go after that man."
"..."
Under Lilian's almost complete questioning, Roja, who understood that he had been seen through, turned her eyes unnaturally. The girl with black hair and purple pupils sighed slightly, her face showing a slight disappointment.
"Originally after this incident, I thought you could rely on me more. I didn't expect to face such a serious matter and put me aside. Am I so unreliable in your eyes? Or... . In your heart, I am actually a cumbersome?"
"No, senior sister, I didn't think that way!"
Seeing Lilian's sad face, the black-haired boy immediately resolutely denied it. After thinking for a while, Luo Ya's expression seriously explained:
"I just think this thing is too dangerous. Even if it is as strong as the Alder clan, it has not been able to defeat the fallen. I will not talk about my own safety for the time being. If you are in danger, Sister, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"And from a standpoint, this matter should also be handled by me under the Alder family. Although the senior sister also has the blood of choosing the king, after all, she is not a member of the Acate family and should not be affected by this matter. Get involved."
The black-haired boy gave her reason after pondering for a moment. Lillian slowly receded from the sad expression on her face. She thought for a while and stepped forward and hugged the boy's body.
"Senior Sister?"
"I'm very happy that you can stand in my perspective for my sake, but as you said, this matter is very dangerous. If you have any accidents, I will also regret it for the rest of my life."
"..."
"If something goes wrong with you, I'm afraid I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. I can only live in sorrow and regret every day. What's the point of being alive when life is not as good as death? And... even if I Not a member of the Acate family, this matter also has a lot to do with me."
"Um?"
The black-haired and purple-eyed girl said so seriously, causing Luo Ya to be puzzled for a while, and she couldn't help but leak out questions. Seeing this, Lilian's face turned red, and she whispered:
"Fool, I really am not a member of the Acate family, but my child is."
"!"
At the moment when he heard Lilian's words like this, Roja's body was stiff, her golden pupils couldn't help but shrank, and the black-haired and purple-pupilled girl continued blushing.
"Although it's not possible in recent years, but I'm young, I'll have a baby sooner or later, I'm the child's mother, how can I let others watch his life?"
When Lilian said this, her voice gradually strengthened, and her attitude became extremely determined, which was very different from the usual indifferent appearance, which made the black-haired boy startled. In fact, Lilian was also a little surprised at this time. .
If it’s about herself, then even if the other party is intent on killing, Lilian won’t have any feelings, and will only obliterate the other party. The girl's heart rarely experienced mood swings, and even a little anger.
Perhaps it was the life-and-death encounter between Veronica and her child a thousand years ago that touched the girl. When she thought that she and Roja's child might be stared at for their lives, Lilian's murderous aura could not be restrained. Peering outward, the purple pupils also sharpened.
"..."
Looking at the maternal instinct suddenly emerging around him, and the murderous young girl in his eyes, Roja was silent for a moment and did not say anything. After thinking about it carefully, Roja had to admit that Lilian's words also had some truth. It really shouldn't be excluded.
But the kid
Thinking of Lilian's future, Roja couldn't help but shook his head again when he remembered the current situation of the two of them.
Although it is a beautiful dream, but... I am afraid it will be a long time later.
The young man who thought this way sighed slightly for the distance of this future, and stretched out his hand to hug the girl in his arms. However, Luo Ya at this time didn't know that everything had already settled.
