1The withered yellow vines hung down, covering the decaying wooden buildings, and the whole ruins were frozen in the dreariness that no one had set foot on for a long time.
2
3Alger and several sailors made a small circle in the ruins in the depressed winter environment, but still found nothing of value.
4
5"Captain, there have been batch after group of adventurers here. What else can you give us?" Finally, a sailor in his thirties broke the silence with impatience.
6
7This resonated with the rest of his companions, echoing one after another:
8
9"what we didn't take long to find out, it must be easy for others to find it."
10
11"Yes, let's continue to do the Fossacks!"
12
13"Captain, are you trying to turn this place into a stronghold?"
14
15Alger slowly swept around and made the sailors stop complaining under his eyes and choose to obey.
16
17After several seconds of silence, he said:
18
19"I'm going to use this place to ambush the Fossacks.
20
21"Let's first look at the terrain to see if it is suitable."
22
23With such an excuse, the sailors reluctantly cheered up, and the party soon entered the depths of the elven ruins.
24
25As he walked, Alger's inspiration was suddenly touched, and subconsciously he looked sideways at the back of a giant tree.
26
27The soil there shows some signs of turning over, and it won't last more than a year.
28
29Alger withdrew his eyes, pretended not to find anything wrong, and naturally looked somewhere else.
30
31After exploring the elven ruins, they returned all the way to the new camp.
32
33By this time, it was almost evening, and it was getting colder and colder in the forest, and after dinner with the sailors, Alger left two patrols and went into different tents.
34
35The cold wind swayed through the trees and shook the bonfire. Alger, who had wanted to leave the camp in the middle of the night, suddenly heard a distant song.
36
37The song was ethereal and ethereal, like a lady singing softly, telling her inner sorrow.
38
39This made Alger unconsciously recall the past, his mother, who had passed away for many years, and his bullied childhood.
40
41Unspeakable sadness rushed to the bottom of his heart, so that he did not wake up immediately, but waited for several seconds before he suddenly sat up, frowned and listened.
42
43This time, he heard nothing, and the melodious song never seemed to appear.
44
45Alger narrowed his eyes, grabbed his thick jacket, walked out of the tent and came to the bonfire.
46
47The two sailors in charge of the night watch have just finished a round of patrol and are taking warmth there.
48
49"did you find anything unusual?" Alger asked quietly.
50
51Two strong sailors shook their heads at the same time:
52
53"No."
54
55Alger relaxed his brow a little, turned his body, and planned to take a tour on his own.
56
57Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a situation:
58
59The two sailors were too close together.
60
61If they are ordinary pirates, there is no problem, but Alger's men are all sailors who have been formally trained by the Storm Church, and they must know that in this environment, the patrols should keep a certain distance, neither far nor close, and be able to see their companions. and to prevent being taken away by an attack at the same time.
62
63Alger took two steps quietly and asked carelessly:
64
65"did you find anything normal?"
66
67He changed the previous question to make it very strange.
68
69The two strong sailors shook their heads in different order and replied with the same expression:
70
71"No."
72
73No, no. Alger nodded gently with a slight look of relief.
74
75"very good."
76
77He immediately turned around and walked slowly into his tent.
78
79As soon as the eyes from the sailors were cut off, Alger suddenly pulled out the "highly poisonous Blade" and "Stone Ghost glasses" and opened his mouth to sing a song.
80
81Just then, the ethereal sad song appeared again, reverberating in Alger's ear and piercing his spirit.
82
83This is an extraordinarily old ballad, singing the extreme sadness and melancholy, so that Alger's spirit seems to grow pale and nihilistic arms, constantly tearing himself.
84
85Alger's expression twisted, the surface of the skin highlighted a piece of slippery light black fish scales, messy as seaweed dark blue hair stood up one after another, all became unusually stout.
86
87The thought that originally existed in his mind was disturbed by the song, interrupted by the pain, and could no longer be formed.
88
89Alger fell down, struggling on the ground, wriggling, less and less like a human, about to get out of control.
90
91Suddenly, the song stopped, and a slightly indifferent voice came into Alger's ear:
92
93"there are some elven blood.
94
95"that's it, then, and make good use of the extraordinary characteristics of Shaitas."
96
97Alger got up slowly with a cold sweat on his forehead and saw a figure in the tent at some point.
98
99This is a woman with bright black hair, exquisite facial features, pointed ears, deep eyes, soft contours, wearing a complicated and simple dress, even if she has no advantage in height, she still feels condescending.
100
101". Are you the queen of elves, the queen of the scourge, Goshinam? " Alger asked voluntarily in a flash of thought.
102
103The woman played with a beautifully patterned golden wine glass and said blandly:
104
105"haven't you already met me?"
106
107Alger remembered the similar songs he heard on the island of Pasu, the dream of entering the undersea coral palace and seeing a superior elf.
108
109"I can't believe you're still alive." After a few seconds of silence, Alger murmured.
110
111At the same time, he quietly recited the honorable name of Mr. Fool in his heart, but he didn't know if it was useful not to pronounce his voice.
112
113The woman with black hair in a high bun responded with the same expression:
114
115"it is very difficult for an angel to fall without meeting an enemy."
116
117"then why do you split the features and put yourself in a strange state and have to wait for the opportunity to come back to life?" Alger, who had learned about the situation in the Tarot meeting, asked, on the one hand, curiosity and procrastination on the other.
118
119The elf woman of Goshenam, the suspected "queen of the scourge", gave a "hum":
120
121"because the throne of the storm was occupied by Leodrow, and I was powerless to resist the tyrant.
122
123"also, there are fewer and fewer elves, and my anchor is becoming more and more unstable."
124
125Others may not know who Leodrow is, but Alger knows it very well and dares not continue the topic in the real world at all.
126
127Just when he wanted to ask the "scourge queen" Goshenam for the purpose of coming here, the elf queen had taken the initiative to say:
128
129"do you want to be a demigod?"
130
131He wants to resurrect through my body? He wants to use promotion sequence 4 to gain divinity as bait to erode me? While Alger was moved, one question after another came into his mind.
132
133Considering that Mr. Fool can purify all kinds of pollution, Alger keenly felt that this was an opportunity.
134
135This reminded him of a term once put forward by Rossell the Great:
136
137Sugar-coated bullets!
138
139Now, there is a good chance that he will swallow the sugar coating and throw back the cannonball.
140
141"what do you want me to do?" Alger did not show too much eagerness and asked questions according to his own character.
142
143Goshenam, the queen of the scourge, examined him for a few seconds and said:
144
145"when you have the right and opportunity to get in touch with the Book of Natural disasters, take something out of it that no one else will notice and take it to the West."
146
147The western continent. The legendary hometown of elves? Alger frowned slightly and said:
148
149"hasn't the West disappeared?"
150
151Gossinam said at the corner of his mouth:
152
153"since it disappears, it will reappear.
154
155"when the end comes, it will definitely come back."
156
157Without waiting for Alger to ask again, the elf queen paused and said:
158
159"you don't have to send it to the West yourself, but you have to entrust someone who can be trusted. I'm not good at cursing, but I can still make you die in pain after breaking your agreement."
160
161"but what if the West does not reappear, or cannot enter?" Alger thought for a moment.
162
163The light in Gaoshenam's eyes, with dark hair and soft facial features, seemed to be trapped in some good memories.
164
165After a few seconds, she spoke gently and said:
166
167"if it really does not reappear, the agreement will be annulled.
168
169"you may really need a mantra or password to enter the West, but I don't know what it is, but you can ask a presence."
170
171"who is it?" Alger asked doubtfully.
172
173Goshenam glanced at him and said coldly:
174
175"the 'fool' you just recited in your mind.
176
177"I have a hunch that he is the key to whether this can be done or not."
178
179With a strain in his heart, Alger bowed his head and responded:
180
181"I see."
182
183Seeing this, Goshenam, the queen of the scourge, nodded gently:
184
185"if you want to be a demigod, keep this promise, and when the sun rises, go to the elf relic."
186
187When the sound fell, the figure of the elf queen quickly disappeared, like the illusion often seen in the sea and desert.
188
189Alger suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying in the tent, just waking up.
190
191His memory was a little confused, but he quickly straightened out the relationship:
192
193He and his sailors had just found out where an elf relic was, and had not yet had time to explore it.
194
195The previous "exploration", singing, sailor changes, "natural disaster" appearance and dialogue are all just a dream!
196
197No wonder I was so careless. Knowing that he might encounter a "scourge queen", he did not pray to the "fool" in advance. The "scourge queen" relies on the angel personality to create this real dream? Or, she holds the corresponding seal, even if it exists in a special state, there is a way to borrow power? Alger listened to the movement outside the tent and found that everything was all right.
198
199He immediately sat down and prayed piously to Mr. Fool.
200
201In twenty or thirty seconds, Alger came to the fog and saw Mr. Fool sitting at the top of the long mottled table.
202
203"did you meet Goshenam?" After the "upside-down hanger" asked, the "fool" Klein spoke casually.
204
205"upside down," Alger replied rigorously:
206
207"Yes, but I'm not sure it's the Elf Queen."
