Chapter 121 Wish
In the end, the process of the night was very similar, and the results were also very similar. Every time the obligations with Alice's partner were fulfilled, it was like a war. After the fierce battle, it was temporary tranquility. Richard lay on his back and stared at the ceiling. Alice did not snuggle up to Richard, but lay side by side with him, and kept a distance. This distance was just the length of an arm, but on the same bed, it seemed very far away.
"What are you thinking?" Alice asked, her voice calm, and she had regained her style as a domineering battlefield, although she was now lying on a bed,
"I'm wondering why it was this time."
Richard's idea is not without reason. When the guardian elves can attack at any time, the movement in the bed can certainly relax the nervous spirit, but it will also consume precious physical strength. In particular, Alice has special psychological problems, which leads to a war every time intimacy becomes a war. Richard is fine. Alice herself is not a sanctuary, and she still wants to be a big deal because she will not stop resisting and struggling without exhaustion.
Alice took a deep breath, her chest undulated once, and said, "I need to feel that you exist the most realistically."
Richard didn't know that she was going to commit suicide alone into the forest, but she could also vaguely understand what was implicit in this sentence. Richard herself had a similar experience, and that feeling was called fear of losing.
“I will be there all the time.”
“This is a promise.”
"Yes."
The Eternal Night Tribe, just like its name, has been covered by night. When Richard walked out of the tree house in his clothes, the sky was still deep, and he could only rely on the hanging moonlight flowers to illuminate. Richard walked down the tree of life, but saw a young elf girl standing by the roadside, looking at him timidly.
Richard walked up to the little girl, squatted down, and looked at her carefully. This was a little girl less than one meter tall, but her big eyes and full face had already indicated that she would definitely be a big beauty in the future. She looked at Richard with a little fear and curiosity in her eyes.
Richard asked softly: "Why don't you go to sleep? Only after you have a good rest can you have the strength to fight."
"Are we leaving?" the little girl asked suddenly.
"Yes, there are a lot of bad guardian elves here, they don't welcome us, so we have to leave, choose a new place to live, stay away from these bad people." Richard explained patiently and seriously,
"But I don't want to leave the tree of life." said the little girl,
Richard smiled and pointed to the tree of life and said, "It will go with us."
The little girl mustered up the courage and said, "But it doesn't want to leave, I can feel it."
Richard's heart moved, his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "What about you?"
The little girl shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave at all."
Richard's eyes slowly moved up from the little girl's face and passed over her head. At some point, a group of eternal night elves were surrounded by them. Listening quietly to his conversation with the little girl, Richard had the ability to remember everything. In these eternal night elves, they did not see the two great druids he was familiar with, without the three holy hunters, nor the mage of the Norland era. Among these elves, there was not even a high-level warrior above level thirteen. They were just a group of ordinary eternal night elves, mostly old people, women, ordinary warriors without much talent. They were the most ordinary elves and the lowest level of the entire tribe. The higher elves society was clearly hierarchical, and the hierarchy was far beyond the human empire. On the other hand, the role of bloodline power in higher elves is more obvious. Strong bloodline basically means powerful power, which also strengthened the hierarchy of the elf society on the other hand.
As the actual controller of the tribe, these lower elves will usually avoid contact with Richard, so although there are only more than a thousand elves in the Eternal Night Tribe, Richard has no interaction with them. However, these lower elves are the majority of the Eternal Night Tribe. More importantly, Richard understands in his heart that before his death, what Qian entrusts him to take care of is not the daughter of the forest like Meilin, but the lowest elves.
From the traditional perspective of the high elf, Akane is not a qualified leader.
Richard withdrew his gaze and said to the little girl: "But if we don't leave, we may be killed by the bad elves. Why do you want to stay here? Our new home also has a forest."
"It's different, the forest there is different from here, I like it." The little girl tried hard to express her meaning, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
At this time, an elderly eternal elf old man said slowly: "Mr. Richard, our tree of life has grown on this land for hundreds of years. Now most of the people standing here are elves that grow under the new tree of life. This land not only carries our emotions, but also our familiar breath. It makes our hearts calm and lets us grow safely. This is a special land that cannot be replaced at will. Moved to a new place. Even if the tree of life is restored to vitality, it will take hundreds of years to form the same land. However, that place is still a strange place for us elves who were born here."
Richard frowned slightly, put his hand on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to feel the breath coming from the earth carefully. At first, Richard didn't feel anything special, but as his consciousness gradually calmed down, the elf blood in his body suddenly moved slightly, and the five life trees began to shine slightly. Richard's perception seemed to have changed to a different frequency. When he saw it, he felt something began to become different.
From the earth beneath your feet, there are continuous warmth and lively natural breaths. Although these breaths are weak, they are very pure. Richard slowly sucks them into his body and feels the breath contained in it. Slowly, Richard understands that these natural forces are derived from the tree of life, but not entirely the power of the tree of life. The tree of life disperses its own power into the earth. These forces are nurtured in the fertile land. After a long period of time, they are gradually combined with the original power of the plane and overflowing from the earth. The natural breath of the overflowing from the land actually contains a little bit of the legal power of the plane. This breath is absorbed by the elves and improves the physical constitution of the elves day after day. Over time, the elves will become more powerful and will also become dependent on this land.
This dependence is somewhat similar to the hometown feelings of human beings, but it has deeper substantive significance. Only then did Richard understand one thing at this time, why the elves are so attached to the tree of life.
Not wanting to leave is the real desire of these lowest eternal night elves. They do not necessarily need rich material and prosperous urban life. Before this, Richard basically did not consider their ideas.
Richard's eyes swept across all the elves around him, and then fell on the face of the little girl in front of him, and said seriously: "Okay, I will try my best to keep the tree of life and let you stay, okay?"
The elf girl's little face suddenly shone brightly and she said, "Really?"
"Really." Richard said solemnly,
All the eternal night elves knew that Richard's words were not only for the little girls, but also for them, but the older eternal night elves hesitated because they knew the current situation and what Richard's promise meant, which meant that Richard's knights would fight against the enemy who had an absolute advantage in numbers in an unfavorable environment, and also mean bloodshed and sacrifice.
Richard stood up, walked towards his own knights, told them a few words, then put on a long knife on his back, and walked into the forest alone. As soon as Richard left, Alice walked out of the tree house. The woman's intuition made her feel something. She didn't care about having to get the neat clothes, so she rushed directly to the knight and asked something. Then she screamed mixed with shock and anger: "He has entered the forest again."
Alice turned around and stared at the group of elves that had not yet dispersed. If fire was about to spurt out in her eyes, the construction knights surrounding her also looked different. They felt that something was wrong at this time. How dangerous is the forest now? Most of them had just experienced it once. However, Richard's status in their minds was too high. All the construction knights had developed habits, accustomed to executing any commands of Richard as soon as possible, and then they would think about why.
With a choking sound, Alice pulled out her sword from the waist of a knight and walked towards the group of eternal night elves. The beating red short notice was a cluster of burning flames.
"Who asked to stay just now? Stand up and don't push everything to this little thing." Alice said coldly, and the sword edge of the long sword had pointed at the elf girl who had just talked to Richard. There was already a half-meter-long light on her sword edge that couldn't be sucked. As long as the fighting spirit was stimulated, the sword light could cut the elf girl in half.
"Stop." Accompanied by the shouting, a tall eternal night elf suddenly appeared in front of Alice's sword, glaring at Alice. His aura was even above Alice, like a sharp sword unsheathed. This was one of the three holy hunters of the Eternal Night Tribe.
"What do you want to do?" the holy land hunter shouted angrily.
But Alice didn't even look at him, and still asked in a usual stern voice: "Who has just asked Richard to stay and stand up."
The holy land hunter felt that his dignity was challenged and could no longer suppress his anger. He took a step forward and suddenly burst out his momentum and shouted in a voice containing Dou Qi: "What are you going to do, woman."
A ball of invisible fighting spirit blasted at Alice like a cannonball.
The powerful fury of the powerful man in the Holy Realm exploded, how powerful it was. Alice also felt a buzzing sound in her ears, her eyes were slightly dark, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
