"Luo Ling, your power... seems a little strange?" The elf slowly closed his eyes and said while doing eye exercises, "I have never seen such a colorful power..."
"What do you mean?" Luo Ling asked.
"In my view, the power of each person has a unique 'color', and I rely on these colors to distinguish them."
The elf opened his eyes again, and his emerald green eyes were slightly bloodshot.
"But... you have so many colors, so many that I can't even see them all - are you a demon who specializes in using the power of others?"
Hearing this, Luo Ling's heart skipped a beat.
In a way, she seemed...
But before Luo Ling could explain, the elf shook his head and said,
"It should be just a special case. No matter how much you inhale, there won't be so many colors..."
“A lot
Luo Ling asked awkwardly.
"If we calculate by number, it should start from 100 million. I can't count it." The elf said casually, "Can you absorb the power of hundreds of millions of people? There are not so many people with special abilities in the whole world."
After hearing this, Luo Ling almost understood, but also fell silent.
She knew exactly what this situation meant.
Because Luo Ling herself was born with the last will to "transcend" when the Star Civilization was annihilated, so the source of her power... is actually everything about the Star Civilization.
Such mottled colors, such a glorious past, but after the "doomsday" disaster, the only trace left was a girl named "Luo Ling".
How sad.
The elf didn't hear Luo Ling's response, so she turned her head to look at her, but inadvertently saw a little sadness revealed by Luo Ling, and her heart couldn't help but pounding.
The main reason was that Luo Ling's appearance at the moment was too extreme. Even the female elves had to admit that she did have some thoughts, coupled with her sad temperament.
It's really scary.
The elf spent a lot of effort to finally turn his gaze back and said,
"Ms. Luo Ling, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just thinking of something."
Luo Ling came back to her senses and quickly got rid of that trace of sorrow in her temperament.
She looked around and said,
"Are these buildings... Valhalla-style? I've never seen anything like them."
This is a ruin, basically just broken walls and ruins, but you can still barely see some of its past.
Although it cannot be called glorious and great, it can be considered exquisite.
"No," the elf shook his head and said, "The gods of Valhalla like to build huge buildings, which cannot be so narrow, including their believers. As for other beings... they are not capable of building buildings of this scale."
Luo Ling remained silent and just kept walking.
At the same time, the elves continued to investigate the surroundings to see if they could find any clues to the remains of the Witch of Destruction.
Before, when she was in the outside world, the elf had already memorized the color of the Witch of Destruction by obtaining the witch's relics. This was the reason why she dared to come to Nibelungen alone to look for the artifact.
At this moment, a soft voice seemed to sound in Luo Ling's ears. It was impossible to make out what it was saying. It sounded like an unfamiliar language, but it was extremely clear.
She immediately looked in the direction of the sound, but could only see a thin mist, as if the source of the sound was even farther away.
"Ms. Luo Ling, have you discovered anything?"
Noticing Luo Ling's unusual behavior, the elf asked hurriedly.
"It seems... there is something." Luo Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you hear the sound just now?"
"What's that sound?" The elf was confused.
At the same time, the strange voice sounded again, still in a language that had never been heard before.
This time it was clearer, allowing Luo Ling to determine the approximate location.
Luo Ling turned his head to look at the elf, but saw that the elf still had a confused look on his face, as if he had not heard anything.
"Could it be that I'm the only one who can hear it?"
Luo Ling felt doubtful for a moment, and then he said,
"Ms. Elf, please continue to open your third eye and follow me."
"What do you mean by opening the third eye... Never mind, I know what you mean, but this ability consumes a lot of energy, you have to compensate me later..."
The elf complained, but his green eyes regained some of their glow.
Luo Ling walked carefully towards the source of the sound. When he reached a certain position, the elf suddenly called out,
"Valkyrie!"
"What?"
Luo Ling paused for a moment.
"I said, there is a Valkyrie ahead." The elf closed his eyes of glow and said, "I saw traces of power. Although it is different from the Valkyrie I met before, it is definitely right."
"But she doesn't seem to be attacking us?"
Luo Ling hesitated for a while and said.
"That... I don't know, but there is indeed a Valkyrie."
At this point, the elf has already started to back off.
But Luo Ling listened to the whispers in his ears and the inexplicable familiar feeling, and decided to move on.
"Let's go and take a look. If there is only one, I can handle it." Luo Ling said in a deep voice.
"... All right."
Although he didn't know what Luo Ling was going to do, the elf still chose to believe her.
However, she has already taken out a magical weapon and is ready to escape or kill at any time.
Luo Ling continued walking forward until the voice clearly appeared in her ears, then she stopped.
The elf held the artifact and looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing.
She endured the pain in her eyes and opened her third eye again, and immediately cried out in surprise.
"Valkyrie is right in front of you! Miss Luo Ling!"
Although the naked eye could not see anything, the vision of the Heavenly Eye at this moment clearly depicted the outline of a young girl standing in front of Luo Ling.
"I know.'
Luo Ling said softly.
Unlike the elves, she clearly saw the girl in front of her.
The messy hair was brown-red, and the pair of pitiful eyes were emerald green. The face, which was not pretty, was timid, but was whispering something.
The Valkyrie under the Valkyrie armor is of the same race.
Maybe even a relative.
But... this girl is not a living person. She is just an afterimage that cannot even be called a soul. Thanks to her natural physique that is compatible with the "Nightmare" path, she is able to leave some traces in the world.
What Luo Ling did not forget was that there was another person whose appearance was extremely similar to that of the Valkyrie and the girl.
Little Elsa.
They both have a natural affinity for the "Nightmare" path, but little Elsa's affinity is higher.
"What exactly... happened here?"
Luo Ling looked around. This abrupt relic should be the place where these brown-red-haired people once lived.
What happened to make them become Valkyries
Judging from the relief the Valkyrie showed before she died, it must not have been voluntary...
"Gods"
Luo Ling sighed softly.
“Have the gods arrived?”
The elf was so startled that he staggered and almost dropped the artifact he was holding.
"She's not here yet." Luo Ling retracted his gaze and said, "Don't worry, she's not a Valkyrie, she's just... one of their people, and she's been dead for a long time. What's left here is just an echo."
"oh.
The elf nodded vaguely.
"Have you seen other Valkyries before?" Luo Ling asked, "Except the one we killed last time."
“I haven’t seen it.” The elf shook his head and said, “Valkyries are hidden in armor. Even if they are killed, they will be resurrected after a period of time. Last time... Last time was a special case. We even broke the armor.”
It was not only because Luo Ling forcibly captured the Valkyrie, but also because the elf directly took out a powerful weapon and used a divine weapon to deal with a Valkyrie.
"In your opinion, do all Valkyries have similar color features?" Luo Ling continued to ask, and then pointed to the place in front, "Just like her?"
"How should I put it..." The elf thought carefully and said,
"The Valkyries in the same place have similar colors. In addition to Nibelungen, there are Valkyries in other places of Valhalla as well. They are the eyes and ears of the gods. At least the Valkyries in Nibelungen have similar colors.
"I roughly understand."
Luo Ling nodded slightly, and there was a little more pity in his eyes when he looked at the brown-red-haired girl.
"Whether you are a member of little Elsa's tribe or not... Anyway, go and rest in peace."
Luo Ling sighed softly and waved his hand.
This lingering echo, at this moment, completely freed itself from the troubles of the world and slowly dissipated.
The girl had been dead for who knows how long, and the echo was not the hope of revival, but only the lingering terror.
As long as it completely dissipates, the girl will be relieved.
'... Is there something I don't know?"
Seeing Luo Ling's serious expression, the elf asked cautiously.
"The Valkyrie is essentially that suit and the greatsword." Luo Ling whispered, "The Valkyrie inside... is just stuffed in because it is suitable for driving this suit.
"They are not Valkyries who use Valkyries. They are just slaves of Valkyries."
Luo Ling looked at the ruins and continued,
"There used to be some residents living here. They all had the ability to drive armor. Then the gods discovered them, and the Valkyries who guarded the Nibelung were born."
Just a few simple words outline a bloody past.
No one wants to be a slave dominated by others, and this is true for these brown-haired women as well.
But unfortunately, they were powerless to defy the will of the gods.
"The gods are truly sinful."
The elf nodded in sympathy. Her people had also been persecuted and destroyed by the gods, so she could understand the situation very well.
At this moment, as the echo completely dissipated, the compass that the elf had been hanging on his waist suddenly moved.
"Um?"
The elf took out the compass and took a look at it, and instantly showed a surprised expression.
“It seems to have a reaction!”
She quickly took out other instruments and fiddled with them, and finally ended by opening her third eye again with great difficulty.
"Huh, it is true." The elf exhaled and said, "Before, because of this echo, high-level power was scattered everywhere, covering a lot of colors.
"Good news. We have now determined our location. The 'uninhabited island' of Nibelung is not far from the 'land of the dead' in the deepest part, where the Witch of Destruction is said to be suppressed."
"Oh, I see. But Miss Elf, I have some bad news. Do you want to hear it?" Luo Ling said in a very calm tone.
"What?"
The elf raised his head and saw Luo Ling's solemn expression.
