In the heavily guarded hall, the black-haired boy stared at the colorful crystals in front of him and the magic scepter that exuded a gentle light, his body stiffened for a moment.
At the moment when he heard the familiar whisper, Roja's golden eye pupils suddenly contracted, and the curse power in his body instantly rushed out, quickly searching for the source of the sound, and at the same time immediately spreading his perception and covering the hall. Everything within.
The young man was so facing the enemy, not only because this inexplicable voice was Roja's long-standing doubts, but also because of the content of this sentence.
action? What action
Recalling the words that the voice said just now, Roja couldn't help but clenched his hands, intuitively aware of something, while on the other side, the elf maid who felt Roja's actions tilted her head strangely.
"My lord? You are..."
"... No, it's nothing."
After a moment of silence, the black-haired boy shook his head with a gloomy expression. He didn't give any explanation about the spread of the curse. When seeing Roya like this, Adoya and the others didn't dare to ask anything for a while.
It’s just a scan of the Elf Hall with curse power. This may be a serious sin for ordinary people, but it’s nothing to Roja. But what makes Adoya a little strange is that after the sudden expansion of the curse, Hei Suddenly, the teenager who was not interested in continuing to visit, decided to leave here immediately.
The gate of the elven hall opened and closed again. Roja chose to return to the mother god’s bedroom this time. With the return of the black-haired boy, the whole god’s pagoda was quiet again, but what everyone didn’t know was that At this time, Roja's mood was not peaceful.
Sitting on a chair that is carved in white jade but is very gentle and moist, the black-haired boy has an unusually tight temperament, like a spear or a sword out of its sheath, the curse of his body is constantly boiling, even the Adu who has been by his side. Ya was temporarily transferred out by him.
Roja has always been skeptical about the strange sound that appeared in his ears before the assassination. However, he has never had a clue. It is currently the only mystery that Roja has not solved. Therefore, the teenager regards it as a break from the status quo. Important clue, but what he didn't expect was that this clue seemed to exceed his expectations.
The word plan is not something that can be said casually, and it is a sentence that appears when Roja is watching the magic scepter that can awaken the [six plagues], and its connotation is self-evident.
Thinking of this, Roja fell into a long silence. He sat alone in a chair and looked at the sky with his eyes flashing. This kind of time lasted a whole afternoon, until Adoya knocked on the door to interrupt him.
"What's the matter? I said not to disturb me for now."
"Yes, my lord, but something went wrong... The mother goddess is back."
"!"
Hearing Adoya's apologetic report, Roya's body couldn't help but shook. After thinking for a moment, he slowly stood up and walked out of the gate.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
In the few days after the assassination, Roja and the mother goddess spent most of the day together, and their familiarity with each other greatly improved, both emotionally and physically.
Needless to say, every day when Roja’s soul is unstable, the mother goddess even held him for a nap. Although Roja, as an adult, always wants to avoid this kind of contact with children, but every The next time he sees the mother goddess full of worry and caring eyes, he will be defeated.
Under such contact, the two are parents and children in the soul, and it is difficult to think about whether the relationship progresses quickly, and after knowing all the truth, the sad and disappointed mother goddess gradually became a scene that Luo Ya did not want to see.
In the final analysis, Shia had to do this because she wanted to give her power to her favorite child. If it weren't for this kind of complicated operation, Roja believed that Ishia's power would definitely find a safe path.
Although it was not the direct cause of Shia's demise, Roja was also a person who was the king of choice, and naturally there was some guilt in his heart, but fortunately, the mother god did not care about this.
But today, even the mother goddess, who is not too sensitive to these things, began to perceive something wrong with Loya.
In the night banquet hall, the silver-haired woman looked at the rare taciturn black-haired teenager around her, with a slightly worried look on her face. She gently opened her lips to say something, but she didn't know what to do. After speaking, this state of hesitation and cessation lasted for a long time before finally speaking:
"Today, I heard that you went to see a divine messenger?"
"Um."
"Go to the Highland Elf to see the Scepter, right?"
"Yes."
"...That's it."
Facing Roja's slightly cold reaction, the topic of Mother God ended without a problem. Only the dinner for two people continued, while the silver-white woman continued to worry alone.
Just like a helpless mother facing a child in the rebellious period, the mother goddess was a little at a loss at this time. I don't know why Roja's mood is so low, but it seems to be aware of the mother god's carefully peeking sight, black hair After being silent for a long time, the boy finally spoke.
"I saw a lot today... The scepter, it looks amazing."
"Yeah, the magic scepter is formed by my strength. If the material is forced to say, it is moonlight. It is indeed different from other weapons."
"I heard that only you and Chief Michel of the Highland Elves can activate the Scepter? Is it a very safe device?"
"Well, it is true, but if strictly speaking, it is not only us, you should also be able to start."
"..."
The mother goddess who said this smiled affectionately, as if showing off the close connection with the child, but on the other side, Luo Ya's eyes flashed when he heard these, and there was such a look in his expression.
"In other words, don't you wonder why you can also start?"
It seemed that it was because Luo Ya was silent for too long, and the silver-haired woman was a little uncomfortable asking like this. When Luo Ya heard the words, he regained his consciousness and thought for a while:
"Is it because of [Crown] Origin Quality?"
"Well, it's not wrong to say that, but the deeper reason is that you are also connected to them."
"You mean, I and the envoy?"
Roja blinked his eyes when he asked, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked the mother god about the [six plagues], but when he heard the boy's question, the mother god nodded and answered without hesitation.
"The envoy is actually the power I prepared for you at the beginning."
"for me?"
"Well, because your soul endurance cannot be the same as mine, I originally selected some powerful and easily controlled by [Crown] and left it to you, that is, the divine envoy. Unfortunately, the plan did not succeed. "
The mother god who said this sighed, and Luo Ya opened his eyes wide, finally knowing the suppressing effect of the [Crown] Elemental Quality on [Six Plagues] and the reason for the formation of the Crown Stone.
The expression on Luo Ya's face who had understood this gradually became gloomy, while the mother god on the other side looked at the black-haired boy for a moment, and suddenly realized that there might be ambiguity in what she said, and could not help but rectify it in a hurry.
"Wait, Roja, don't think too much, I don't mean to blame you."
"Hey?"
"Although I have been talking about the past, I just regret that I didn't do better in the past, and I didn't regret making the decision to inherit the plan. It's better to say... You can stay by my side like you do now, I'm very satisfied."
"..."
Hearing Mother God's words, Luo Ya's face became complicated, and suddenly felt that some soft parts of her heart were touched, while on the other side, Mother God stretched out his hand and placed it on the hand of the black-haired boy to comfort him.
Constant regrets may be understood as blame, which will cause psychological pressure on their children. This is a problem that the mother god has always ignored before. After understanding this, the woman who treated Luo Ya as her own also decided to immediately Change the topic.
The mother goddess thinking about new topics held the young man’s hand and didn’t know what to say for a while, while on the other side, Luo Ya was silent, but his expression gradually became firmer, and something in his eyes became More solid and sharp, after thinking for a long time, Roja suddenly asked such a question.
"Mother, I didn't care about this. I'm just worried about the recent battle. Is the war going well?"
"...In a way, that's it."
"But, you haven't been released, haven't you? Your hair color is also silver tonight."
"..."
Facing Roja's question, the mother goddess did not answer immediately, but lowered her head slightly, and sighed after a long time.
Aside from other changes, hair color can be said to be a decisive factor in judging whether the mother goddess is in a state of preparedness for battle. Now that Luo Ya puts forward in this way, the mother goddess can be said to have no reason for sophistry, and after thinking about it for a while , The silver-haired woman also gave an answer.
"Actually, so far, the battle situation is fairly smooth, but in the next few days, it is likely that there will be changes."
Sure enough
When the mother god heard the specific time, Roja's eyes were slightly narrowed, and his hands could not help but clenched, while on the other side, the mother god roughly said the situation of the war ahead.
Since the start of the war, races have continuously joined the mother god’s camp due to the choice of the king. However, even so, the regular force of the mother god’s camp is still weak. In the original plan, it was not expected that the war would proceed so smoothly. But in fact it was a big win one after another.
Such a situation caused many races to hear the wind and threw their brains into the arms of the mother god, and the whole camp was also immersed in optimism, but as the ruler of the camp, the mother god himself had some bad premonitions.
In this world, no one knows all races better than the mother god, and no one knows the savior better than the mother god. Such a one-sided situation is obviously abnormal to her.
"He is probably planning something. After all, he is not my opponent in terms of personal strength. It is impossible to continue to sit and watch the neutral race fall to me. Otherwise, once he is at a military disadvantage, he will undoubtedly lose. "
After careful analysis, the mother god came to such a conclusion, and when she heard what she said, Luo Ya raised the question again.
"The savior will definitely take action, I understand this, but mother, why can you be sure that it is these few days?"
"Because the next attack target is the Dragon's Pass, which is also the most important dividing line of our forces. Once they pass the Dragon's Pass, they will be in no danger to defend. The situation of strength and weakness is likely to be reversed. In fact, the frontline has indeed been recently. Somewhat unusual."
"I see."
The black-haired boy who said this nodded, his eyes flashing in deep thought, and seeing Luo Ya's serious thinking expression, the mother goddess was greatly relieved, she stood up and hugged Luo Ya gently. Speak softly:
"Relax, that despicable counterfeit is prepared, and I also have a hole card here, so don't worry about me too much."
"Mother..."
"You just need to wait here. You don't need to think too much, and you don't need to go to the battlefield. Mom assures you that I will take care of all these annoying things in a short time, okay?"
"..."
Looking at the mother goddess who said so, Luo Ya's eyes fell into silence with complicated eyes. After a long time, he nodded slowly, while the mother goddess showed a happy smile and lowered his head to leave a soft kiss on the young man's forehead.
In the next time, the mother goddess checked Roja's physical condition again, and then bid farewell to the boy and returned to the distant front, looking at the mother goddess' figure slowly disappearing in the night sky under the moonlight, with black hair. The boy's expression also slowly calmed down.
Under the night sky, Roja stood alone on the balcony for a midnight, looking at the stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking about, until the silver moon rose to the highest point in the sky, the black-haired boy turned around and entered silently In the room.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
Since the return of the mother goddess from the front line, Roja's behavior habits have changed. This is the latest and hottest topic among the people in the tower, and the reason for its popularity is simple, that is, the behavior of the teenager has changed too much. .
Before the mother goddess returned to the tower this time, Roja's work and rest can be said to be quite regular. In order to allow the body to get adequate rest, the teenagers always go to bed and get up early, and the scope of action is basically limited to the top of the tower. However, recently The situation has changed over time.
Roja's range of activities is large, and it's not as big as usual. It spans the entire plain, from the tower to the canyon where the envoy is located.
After the mother god left, Luo Ya immediately began to go back and forth between the tower and the distant canyon. The highest frequency even reached four times a day. Such an unusual situation would naturally attract everyone's attention, and some people even guessed that Luo Ya received it. What secret mission is the mother goddess, and there is indeed a basis for this statement, that is, Roja's actions in the god tower.
After the mother god left this time, the black-haired boy not only went to see the envoy several times a day, but also no longer stayed in the room or the sky garden in the tower, but spent most of the time in the hall of the elves, looking at the gems. I was thinking about something at the position of the magic scepter above, and his expression was unusually serious, and occasionally he would touch it in person.
Such behavior undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the highland elves who are in charge of the affairs of the gods. Michel, who is still staring at Roja to this day, even became angry. The accompanying guards were also tossed by such a high frequency of going out. It's boring, but because of the special status of the king chooser and the relationship between Roja and the mother goddess, no one dared to say anything.
The only person who asked Roya about this was Adoya, the elf maid next to him, but the black-haired boy did not give a clear answer. As time passed, the attention of everyone in the tower also changed. Yuluoya gradually shifted to the frontline warfare.
The Dragon’s Pass is an important gateway in the region where the savior ruled, and it is also a strategic location that may change the situation of the entire battlefield. As long as this is not lost, the savior’s army can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and once it is occupied by the mother god’s army Conquer, the initiative and superiority of the battlefield will completely fall to the mother god.
The moment when the victory is decided before the fortress of Xiongguan, it will be the golden moment for the neutral races to bet. Therefore, no matter where in the world, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the dragon’s pass. Every news from the front is Affect people's minds.
However, in such a tense atmosphere, Roja is different from the others. The black-haired boy does not wait anxiously at the top of the tower every day for news from the front line, but runs back and forth between the tower and the canyon. Two days later, he stayed alone in the Elf Hall.
All the guards were dispelled by him, and even Adoya was driven outside the door. In the empty hall, Roya stood alone in front of the scepter, his face calm, his eyes firm and powerful, as if What are waiting for.
And it seems to be a response to a teenager who did so. When the sun was about to set, the familiar feeling to Roja suddenly appeared again, and the world suddenly fell into absolute peace in an instant.
That is not the tranquility that the world should have, nor the tranquility of a closed space, but the effect brought about by the cessation of everything in a moment, but it is different from the black and white world of the god of death at that time, the world presented to Roja at this time is like that. The bright and gentle.
The bright light illuminates the field of vision, and the warm feeling is born from the bottom of my heart. At this moment, Roja's body flashes light, and then he emerges from the body and floats in the air. The dazzling light continuously deforms, and finally turns into a desirable People who are close to each other in their hearts.
It was a figure of a young man with black hair and golden eyes similar to Roya. He smiled and walked out of the light. The moment his feet stepped on the ground, the sun seemed to rise in the vast hall, and the vigorous vitality was released from his body. , So that everyone who is close to feel relaxed and happy.
Looking at the young man who appeared suddenly, Luo Ya's expression was not too surprised, because he already knew the identity of the person in front of him and the meaning of his appearance here.
The time to make a decision came quietly on this day of war.
