Xie He covered his shoulders and knelt on the ground with one knee. He raised his head and saw several elves pointing arrows at him. Sadness and pain appeared in his eyes, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and he murmured: "You said... Elder Will, dead...?"
One of the male elves looked at Xie He angrily. How much he admired and respected Xie He before, but now he is so sad and disappointed, "Jialan Lord, have you forgotten what you just did? Elder Will then I trusted you, but you killed him! And don’t you know what kind of disaster the release of the God of Darkness will bring to the continent? Why would you do this?”
Xie He was sad in his heart, but he still tried his best to maintain his rationality. He said in a deep voice: "I didn't kill Elder Will, let alone release the Dark God. It was Joshua who betrayed us. He released the Dark God and plotted against me. I am Come back and inform you to escape quickly, it will not be safe here soon."
Who would have thought that this defense not only failed to ease the atmosphere, but instead made the elves' emotions even more agitated.
An elf said angrily: "Sure enough, His Royal Highness Joshua guessed it right. He said that Jialan Lord would definitely quibble and put the blame on him! But he was the only one who escaped at that time. Men can testify against him."
Another elf said: "Yes, if it wasn't for Jialan Lord who went to assassinate Elder Will and was accidentally discovered by us when he escaped, how could we believe this fact. It's incredible!"
Xie He finally understood what was going on when he heard it. It turned out that Joshua rushed back before him and blamed him, and the person who assassinated Elder Will must be Saxiu!
He thought of the despicable Holy Son and the God of Darkness, his chest was full of grief and anger, and he shouted: "Do you actually believe Joshua's words? He is the traitor! He lied to us from the beginning, and he went to the Dead Sea Forest In order to release the Dark God, I wasn't the one who killed Elder Will, it was the Dark God who pretended to be me, and they were the same group."
"Would you rather believe in a holy son who doesn't know the details than me?"
"I am your kin and your king. My mission of existence is to protect this forest, protect you, and protect the light. I have been doing this for hundreds of years. Now you are listening to a despicable person. In a word... ”
Xie He's eyes showed sadness, "Is this your trust in me?"
Xie He's words made those elves finally show a shaken look. Not long ago, they witnessed Xie He kill Elder Will with their own eyes, and heard Joshua's words. I believed that Xie He was the traitor. But at this moment, after hearing Xie He's judgment... I feel that it is not impossible.
They certainly believed in Xie He more than Joshua, but...
Which side is telling the truth
For a moment, confusion appeared in their eyes.
"How about... take him back first and let the elders make a decision." One of the elves said, if Xie He was really framed, they must not hurt him.
The other elves also nodded in agreement.
Although they had doubts about the previous events in their hearts, they didn't dare to be careless in this critical period. They took out the rope woven from vines and tied Xie He tightly before taking him back.
The resident of the elves is heavily guarded, and it is obvious that they have entered a state of combat readiness.
Xie He was escorted back and saw many familiar faces along the way. Most of the elves looked at him with anger and disappointment. The coming darkness is frightening and bewildering...
Xie He was imprisoned in a dungeon, and was brought out after one night. The remaining elves and elders gathered together, and other elves were also watching.
After Elder Will died, Elder Mireya, the oldest, took over the Temple of Nature. She looked at Xie He with a complicated expression, and said, "Jialan, about your defense, they have conveyed it to me yesterday. Of course we I would like to believe you, but this matter is too serious to make a decision based on belief alone, we need evidence."
Xie He was injured and was locked up for another night. His expression was a little depressed, but his eyes were still bright. He shook his head slowly: "I have no evidence, everyone died, and the rest were killed by Joshua , Only Samir and I escaped, but Samir and I got separated."
"I know." Mireya sighed, and she said: "Since this is the case, we still have one last solution. The elf who killed Elder Will used dark energy, and it has obviously been eroded by darkness. We only need to treat you Conduct a test, if you are not corrupted by the darkness, then naturally you are innocent, and the murderer is someone else. This will prove your innocence, what do you think?"
Xie He's face suddenly changed.
Mireya fixedly looked at Xie He, "Of course, if you are eroded by darkness, it means that your previous words were all lies, and you are the traitor! As we all know, our pure natural elves are the least susceptible to being eroded by darkness Without being exposed to darkness for a long time or willing to degenerate, otherwise it is impossible to be infected, so this method is safe and effective."
After she finished speaking, some elves tied Xie He to the tree, and then another elf brought the holy water from the Temple of Nature.
Xie He looked at the holy water that was getting closer and closer, and fear appeared in his eyes, no... no, his body is no longer pure, the darkness has corroded him, and even the holy vessel can feel his filth...
Seeing that the elf was about to bring the holy water to him, Xie He suddenly struggled desperately to avoid the approach of the holy water.
The onlookers were all very surprised when they saw this scene. They thought that since Xie He firmly believed that he was innocent, he would definitely not be afraid of the holy water test. They were even more eager to see the result than Xie He. They realized that their king was still trustworthy and did not betray them... But the scene before them was beyond everyone's expectations!
Xie He actually resisted!
Mireya's complexion also changed, she stood up abruptly, stared at Xie He, and ordered the other elf warriors: "Give it to me!"
The elves immediately stopped keeping their hands, and forcibly held Xie He, pinched his mouth and poured the holy water.
The pure holy water, which was once completely harmless to the elves, now flows into Xie He's throat, as if being flowed by magma, causing severe pain. He couldn't help letting out a miserable scream, his internal organs were boiling, the forces of light and darkness clashed in his body, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the color of the blood was black...
But it's not over yet, the burning pain lasted for a long time, Xie He was covered in cold sweat... The hair on his forehead stuck to his face, and he hung his head in a collapsed state.
When he stopped moving, the elf came over and raised his head, and everyone could see... A layer of black mist surged on his emerald eyes.
Dark energy was stirring in his body.
All the elves were in an uproar. The elves who believed in Xie He and supported Xie He all made the sound of collapse and pain, and some elves roared with anger and hostility. It is obvious that the dark energy has already corroded him, and he is the murderer!
There was a look of extreme disappointment in Mireya's eyes. After a long time, she slowly announced: "Garanlord has been corrupted by darkness and has become a fallen dark elf. He is no longer qualified to be our king. I ordered him to be removed from the Removed from the group, today he will pay for Elder Will's life!"
The other elves echoed one after another, clamoring to execute Xie He.
Xie He heard those angry voices, those disappointed curses in his ears, and he watched those former partners all look at him with hatred... Finally, he understood that everything can no longer be redeemed.
Any explanation would be futile, and no one would believe him.
Even he himself hates himself now, his forest no longer welcomes him, his companions no longer trust him, everything he once cared about is far away from him, such a depraved and ugly life should have been wiped out ... The reason why he insisted on coming back was just to tell them that the danger had come.
Now his mission is complete.
Xie He didn't struggle or move, he suddenly felt relieved. The elves know that darkness is coming, that danger is approaching, and even without him, there are other elders who will surely lead them to safety...
And he, who is evil and dirty, should return to the dust.
Xie He watched all this quietly, his expression calmed down again.
He saw a tall elf warrior approaching with a luxurious silver long sword. This is the sword of the elves, with the pure power of light attached to it, which can slaughter all darkness.
Xie He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the dark shadows enveloped the sky and covered the sky. The space seemed to be frozen in an instant, and the elves were all unable to move in place. They watched the sudden change in horror.
Slowly... A man dressed in pitch black seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing in the middle of the open space.
This is an extremely handsome man, with a straight nose and thin lips, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes are as dark as an abyss. His skin is slightly pale, his long black hair is tied behind his head with a ribbon, and he is dragging a black robe on the ground.
He walked up to Xie He step by step as if there was no one else around, with an evil smile on his lips.
Xie He looked at him blankly, even though he saw this person for the first time, he just knew that this was Saxiu.
This is what he really is.
Saxiu came in front of Xie He, with a flick of his fingertips, he cut the rope that bound him, and then stretched out his hand, hugging Xie He's fallen body in his arms, he lowered his head, with a look of love in his eyes, "My believer, you have done well, now I will take you home..."
Xie He was held in Saxiu's arms weakly, and there was only sadness in his eyes.
He knew that from this moment on, no one would believe him again, and the appearance of Sashu sat back and watched his betrayal, and he would be classified into the camp of darkness, and would no longer be accommodated by the light.
Even after death, they will be branded with the brand of the fallen.
Xie He slowly, struggled to raise his hand a little bit, grabbed Sa Xiu's sleeve, and made a weak voice in his mouth, his breath was like a gossamer, only Sa Xiu could hear it.
He said, "Don't kill them, please..."
Sashu smiled, he squinted his eyes in satisfaction, this was the first time this beautiful elf begged him soberly, how wonderful and fulfilling... He was happy to fulfill his request.
After all, he loves him so much.
Sashu glanced contemptuously at the elves shrouded in fear, hugged Xie He, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
With Sashu's departure, the solidification of the space was finally lifted, and the fear in the eyes of the elves has not dissipated for a long time.
Although Saxiu only appeared for a short ten seconds, the shadow of terror he brought to them was so deep into the bone marrow.
Mireya looked at the direction they left, and remained motionless for a long time.
Finally she looked back and sighed: "Pack up your things, let's get out of here now."
From this moment on, they must leave their homeland where they have survived for tens of thousands of years to find another paradise. During this journey, they will definitely encounter many dangers and difficulties, but they have no other choice.
Darkness has come.
… … … … … … …
Saxiu hugged Xie He and walked away slowly. He bowed his head and kissed Xie He's lips. The pure power of darkness passed along the lips. The power of darkness quickly dispelled the remaining light power of the holy water in Xie He's body. , slowly healing the wounds in his body.
Xie He's body trembled slightly, he felt the cold and evil energy constantly corroding him, soaking into his blood, piercing his skin, penetrating his bones... this time it was so clear.
Do not…
As soon as he recovered a little strength, he pushed Saxiu away forcefully and looked at him with eyes full of hatred.
Saxiu was not angry when he was pushed away by Xie He, but smiled slightly, the closer he got, the more addicted he became... It is rare for him to be interested in something for such a long time without the slightest weakening, this elf always seems to have a way to attract his attention, Make him unwilling to let go.
Even if he was eroded by darkness, even if he was misunderstood by his fellow clansmen, even if he was going to be brutally executed... But his heart was still not shaken at all. At the last moment, what he wanted in his heart was still the life of his companion, and he was even willing to beg for the life he hated the most, to deprive him of his life. All demons.
His beautiful heart, as if it hadn't been damaged at all, was still dazzling.
How could it be enough to only corrode his body
Sashu is eager to see the day when this elf will degenerate from body to soul...
Then he would be completely his.
[Ding, the target shaxiu favorability degree is 5, and the current favorability degree is 70]
Saxiu raised the corners of his lips, looked down at Xie He's eyes, and smiled lowly: "Aren't you afraid that I will go back and kill them?"
Xie He's expression suddenly froze, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and he didn't make a sound.
Saxiu looked at his painful and enduring appearance, with joy in his eyes, he said: "Don't worry, I have already promised you to let them go, and it will be no fun to use the same method a second time."
Xie He still looked at him nervously, apparently not trusting him.
Sa Xiu smiled lowly, he put Xie He down and said, "Let's go."
Xie He was taken aback, as if he didn't understand what Saxiu was doing.
Sashu looked at him with a smile: "Go and see if this world is worthy of your protection... See how dark and hateful the human heart is..."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the darkness again.
Xie He turned around and fled without hesitation, only to find that this is a human town when he went down the mountain. It turned out that he had already reached such a far place.
[444: The host greatly qaq...]
[Xie He: It's hard for you.]
[444: (⊙o⊙) ah?]
[Xie He: I actually endured crying until now, I have made great progress, I am very pleased. smile jpg]
[444:...]He's going to be angry!
[Xie He: I'm fine, baby, I knew you were worried about me:)]
[444:...]No, I'm not worried about you at all! ╭(╯^╰)╮
[Xie He: To be honest, if it wasn’t necessary for the plot, I think Xiuxiu and I would be able to get along very well. Regarding how dark the human heart is, we can talk about wine and sigh jpg]
[444: Then why don't you show him a little bit of depravity?]Absolutely true character starred without any obstacles_(:3ゝ∠)_
[Xie He: No way, this friend can't do it for love.]
[444: So what are you going to do now? _]
[Xie He: The bet has been placed, we are the gamblers on the table, gamblers, always refuse to admit defeat... the more you lose, the more you can't let go, so I just need to let him keep losing. He won't be able to leave me if he loses everything :)]
[444:...]
Because of the dark energy Saxiu gave him, Xie He's injury has basically healed, and there is no longer any abnormality on the outside.
Xie He can feel the changes in his body, and he is rapidly shifting to the dark side. He no longer has the natural affinity for the forest, and he can no longer use light magic, because the light element is repulsive to him... unless he wants to Use the power of darkness, otherwise it is no different from ordinary people.
But Xie He would never use the power of darkness. He would rather endure the pain of being torn apart, and desperately use the only light power left in his body to fight against the darkness, slowing down the process of being transformed, which made him become very weak.
Xie He came to the town below, which is a human territory east of Nolan Forest.
The speed at which dark energy erodes the earth is not very fast, because the transformation requires a lot of energy, and it is a long process, but the most terrifying thing about the dark god Saxiu is not only this, but that he can induce darkness in people's hearts... like death Like the valley, although it will not be so obvious at once, the speed of spreading is irresistible.
He will infinitely magnify the negative emotions of greed, jealousy, and anger in human hearts, bringing about disputes and wars, death and struggle.
Let humans and various races kill each other, and plunge the continent into flames of war.
Xie He took a deep look in the direction of Nolan Forest, his eyes showed nostalgia, his hometown... was about to disappear... Slowly, he turned around and walked firmly in another direction.
He was going to the Holy See to tell the Pope that his Son had betrayed the God of Light and made a deal with the devil.
Now only the Holy See has the strength to resist Shashu.
Xie He avoided humans along the way, ate the wind and drank the dew, and ate some wild fruits when he was hungry. What's more rare, Saxiu seemed to disappear and did not continue to pester him.
One day, he passed through a dangerous forest and encountered a team surrounded by wild beasts. This team was obviously a team of merchants and did not have strong force. At this moment, he kept retreating, and everyone showed despair on their faces.
There was a hint of hesitation in Xie He's eyes. Elves rarely come to the human world, and exposing their identity is a bit dangerous for him, but he can't do it if he turns a blind eye and watches these people die.
Xie He took out his bow and arrows, aimed at those beasts, every arrow shot into the eyes of the beasts accurately!
Soon most of the beasts were killed by him, and the remaining few were routed and fled quickly. Xie He breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from the tree, and asked: "It's dangerous here, please leave quickly."
Those human beings thought they would die today, but who would have thought that they would be saved, and the one who saved them... was an elf!
This elf's light golden long hair has a soft luster, like the morning light, his emerald eyes are more dazzling than gemstones, his pointed ears show his identity, his tall and straight figure and perfect appearance, Such an existence... They were speechless for a moment of shock.
It was the first time for them to see the legendary elf!
After a while, Jonathan, the leader of the human team, stood up and stammered: "My lord, thank you very much for your help."
Xie He didn't want to talk more with humans, so he nodded and left.
At this time, a teenage girl in the team ran out, hugged Xie He's arm, and begged: "Master, we have encountered several attacks along the way, but it will take a few days to get out of this forest, you Can you escort us out? I'm sorry... I know this request is too much, but there is really no other way, please, you are a kind elf, you will definitely help us, right?"
This is a delicate-looking human girl with curly brown hair and a little freckle on her nose. She is looking at him with tears at the moment, so helpless and pitiful.
Jonathan was a little anxious and said, "Lina, come back quickly, don't offend this lord."
Lina turned back and said, "Father, my elder brother died in the last attack. Without this lord, we couldn't get out of the forest alive. Do you want us all to die here?"
Seeing this, Xie He finally sighed softly. Anyway, he was just on the way, so why not escort them for a ride.
"I can escort you." Xie He said.
Both Lina and Jonathan had expressions of surprise on their faces, they kept thanking Xie He, and then brought out the best food in their team to entertain Xie He, but Xie He didn't eat human food, he still picked it by himself The wild fruit is edible.
So Xie He set off with this team, and encountered several wild beast attacks along the way, but because of Xie He, an excellent hunter, they saved the danger every time. After a few days, they finally came to the forest the edge of.
Leaving here tomorrow, he will part ways with these humans.
Xie He leaned on the tree trunk to rest and took a little rest. At this moment, Lina came over. She had a lively personality, and no one else dared to talk to Xie He. Only she always circled around Xie He, chattering all day long Endless, Xie He gradually became familiar with her and became less alienated.
"Master Jialan, where do you plan to go after leaving here?" Lina asked curiously.
Xie He said: "I'm going to the Holy See."
Lina lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Oh...then we will be separated, I really don't want to part with it."
Xie He smiled slightly: "I will miss you."
Lina seemed to feel better after hearing the words, and she was not so depressed. She handed the water bottle she brought to Xie He and said, "You seem to be a little thirsty. This is the dew I collected specially for you. Drink some .”
Xie He took it over.
[444: The host is big! Don't drink! poisonous!]
Xie He smiled and said to Lina: "Thank you, I am a little thirsty." Then he drank the water without any hesitation.
[444:...]
[Xie He: Baby, what's wrong with you?]
[444: Poisonous qaq]
[Xie He: Isn't that just right? Didn't Xiuxiu just want me to see the darkness of human beings? It's like being sleepy and someone will send a pillow. I like high efficiency.]
[444:...]What was he talking about just now? ? ? indifference
After Xie He drank the water, he felt a little dizzy after a while. He felt that something was wrong, because the elves would not have this kind of situation, unless they were poisoned. He wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the strength to fall to the ground, and his vision gradually became blurred.
He saw those humans gathered around, and Jonathan and Lina were standing in front of him.
The human being who was so respectful before showed an ugly face at this moment. Jonathan said: "Dear Lina, you did a great job. Selling this elf, we can not only pay off the debt, but also make a lot of money."
Lina laughed triumphantly: "I thought of this when I saw him for the first time. This is a legendary elf. It's a pity to let him go like this!"
Jonathan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I heard that the city lord of Dar City likes to collect this kind of treasure the most. Dedicated to the city lord, maybe he can reward us with noble status."
Lina said: "I think it can be auctioned, and it will definitely sell for a sky-high price. If you have money, you can't buy anything, let alone a mere nobleman."
There was an unbelievable look in Xie He's eyes, but he quickly lost consciousness.
… … … … … … …
Xie He didn't know how long he had been asleep. When he woke up again, he found that his neck, hands and feet were in shackles, and he was locked in a cramped cage. He couldn't even stretch his body. The cage was covered with a layer of black Bu, can't see the situation outside at all.
He tried to break free, but the shackles were so thick that he couldn't get rid of them at all.
After a while, he felt that his cage was lifted, and then he seemed to come to another room. The room was very noisy, filled with an uncomfortable smell, and the air was oppressive and disgusting.
His cage was slowly lowered down again.
Just when he knew nothing about the current situation, the black cloth on the cage was suddenly lifted off, and the strong light made him unable to open his eyes for a moment.
He heard a loud and clear voice in his ears: "Now is the finale of this auction, the legendary elf! You must know that the human world often cannot meet a single elf for hundreds of years, This is a legendary existence that can’t be met! If you miss such a treasure, you will have no chance! The starting price is 10 million, and the price will increase by 2 million each time. Start now!"
Xie He finally opened his eyes. He saw that he was on a platform surrounded by layers of stepped seats. There were countless human beings of all shapes and sizes. Perhaps there were hundreds of them. They looked at him with crazy and greedy eyes. The atmosphere of the scene was unprecedented. high!
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, the calls for bidding were already ringing out one after another!
