Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 59: Night of Despair

Thorn City is the largest city in the northeast of the Yaolan Kingdom, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is separated from the Swisston Kingdom to the north by the Pingxi Mountains, to the east by the Chaori Mountains from Huayu Forest, and to the west by the Luoxia Mountains. To the south, there is an emerald river across from the eastern plains of Yaolan Kingdom.

Three days later, in the Luoxia Mountains to the west of Thorn City.

A carriage was driving slowly.

"Brother, how long does it take to get to Thorn City? I want to eat the big meal there," Ariel said listlessly while sitting next to Ayton. When they were in Black Rock City, they ate all the delicious food there. Ariel, who had been eating rough food from the Wailing Cave since she was a child, felt even happier. Then she heard Lan Keke say that Thorn City is the largest city on the eastern edge of the entire Yaolan Kingdom, and it is also the most prosperous city with more delicious food and fun. This aroused Ariel's desire for food, and she was eager to reach Thorn City as soon as possible.

"It will take another seven or eight hours to arrive, and I will probably have to sleep in the wilderness tonight," Ayton said helplessly. During the past three days, he had been playing the role of a coachman, which was very boring, but he also learned the skill of riding a horse.

"Ah, are we going to sleep in the wilderness?" Coco said with a sad face as she opened the curtain.

"What's wrong, Coco?" Eluli asked in the car. They had been sitting in the carriage chatting together for the past two days, and their relationship had heated up rapidly. However, Ariel was still lukewarm towards Coco.

"I once stayed in the wild for one night, but when I woke up the next morning, I felt extremely uncomfortable."

"Haha, who told you to lie down and sleep in the wild without a tent? No wonder you don't feel uncomfortable," Ariel said with a smile. In the past three days, Coco seemed to have replaced Mu Yue as the target of Ariel's ridicule.

It's just that Coco's good training puts her at a disadvantage every time. She doesn't know how to refute Ariel, so she can only say weakly: "The tent is so big, how can I carry it on my back?"

At this time, there was the sound of a horse-drawn carriage running behind him.

"Get out of the way! Special envoy of Yaolan Kingdom!"

Hearing the words "Special Envoy of the Yaolan Kingdom", Coco immediately pulled back Iluli, retracted her head back to the carriage and closed the curtain.

'This action is too obvious. When others see you, you are a high-ranking lady of the Yaolan Kingdom.'

Ayton and Ariel looked at each other, then silently controlled the carriage to walk out of the avenue and stop. Because it is close to the mountain road, the main road at this time is very narrow and can only accommodate

The carriage ran past Ayton, guarded by 10 armored knights at the front and rear.

The sound of galloping horse hooves passed by, causing a cloud of dust to drift toward them, and Ayton frowned.

You don't even know to slow down when you know there are people next to you.

Ariel covered her mouth and nose, bent down and picked up a stone on the ground, flicking her little finger.

The last knight's horse screamed, and the knight fell to the ground.

Ayton glanced at Ariel silently, and the latter tilted her head to one side, looking like she didn't care about my business.

Is this too idle and want to have fun? In the past few days since they came to the ground, they have a full understanding of human strength. Even with fifth-level war spirits, Ayton and Ariel still have the confidence to fight with the superiority of weapons. A battle.

"What's going on?" The carriage stopped, and the guard leader Bader came over on horseback and asked coldly.

"I'm sorry, sir, my horse stumbled for some reason." The knight hurriedly got up and lowered his head.

Bud frowned and looked at the horse's hind legs. There was an obvious bruise there, which was not caused by long-term running.

The leader's expression turned cold and he looked in Ayton's direction.

"Look, something has happened," Ayton glanced at Ariel and whispered.

The latter smiled mischievously: "They are not strong anyway, so what are they afraid of?"

The guard leader came over: "Did you do it?"

Ayton looked innocent and said, "What did we do? We were sitting in the carriage just now."

He didn't want to break his skin yet, so he would avoid any disputes that could be avoided.

"You..." The knight leader pulled out his sword and wanted to threaten him, but a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the carriage.

"Bud, if nothing happens, please leave quickly."

"I obey," Bard glared at Ayton, took back his sword and turned to leave.

If they hadn't been in such a hurry, and if the injury to the war horse hadn't affected its running, he wouldn't have let off such two mischievous people so easily.

Looking at the back of the convoy gradually leaving, Ariel pouted and said: "It's boring not to come up and fight."

"They are probably in a hurry. The nearest town is still seven or eight hours away, but it is almost night. They are still running and must be planning to get to that town all the way through the night."

"Brother, should we also go to that town to sleep?" Ariel blinked her bright eyes and looked at Ayton.

"It's getting late now. Let's sleep here for the night. There must be a lot of mosquitoes in the Sunset Mountains," Ayton said lightly.

"That's good," Ariel said happily, and then opened the car curtain.

"Come out, they have left"

"That's great," Coco said, patting her chest.

Ariel ignored Coco and took out a stack of wooden frames and curtains from the carriage. Due to limited space, there were only two tents in the carriage.

Ayton spent ten gold coins to buy a carriage just to hold some outdoor supplies. He didn't want to expose the Dark Holy Pearl in front of Coco. After all, he had only known her for three days.

"My brother and I sleep together, you can do whatever you want," Ariel said playfully, and then gave Ayton a knowing look. They had slept in the town for the past two days. For some reason, Ayton always refused to sleep with her. , please be careful when talking about what it is in the past few days. You must not let go of sleeping outdoors this time.

Coco glanced at the inexplicably excited Ariel, and then saw the pretty and slightly blushing Iluli, and asked Ayton suspiciously, "You won't do anything shameful at night, right?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, don't think too much about it." Ayton turned his head and touched the dark holy bead in his arms. The little succubus inside has shown no sign of waking up in the past three days, and he is not sure. Whether she was dangerous or not, he didn't tell anyone, including Ariel, in the past few days, and he didn't dare to sleep in the same bed with Ariel. He heard that succubi were particularly sensitive to lust.

"Come on, go to bed." Ariel set up the tent in an instant and looked at Ayton with a smile.

Ayton only felt the muscles on his face twitch, and ran over and knocked her hard on the head: "The sun hasn't set yet, why are you sleeping, and are you sleeping in the middle of the road? Don't you have dinner? …”

……

After a while, a group of people sat under a big tree and had a bonfire. The smell of wild boar stimulated Coco's drool. They all ate dry food on the road today. The dry and tasteless dry food made Coco feel hungry. Her stomach didn't want to eat anymore, and she didn't know what kind of delicacies she had eaten before.

"Brother, my head still hurts." Ariel held her little head and looked at Ayton with tears in her eyes.

"Stop rubbing. I've been rubbing for more than ten minutes. It still hurts?"

"Sister Ariel, would you like me to treat you?" A faint green light appeared on Iluli's right hand.

"Um...I suddenly feel like my head doesn't hurt anymore."

A gurgling sound came from Coco's stomach. The blue-robed mage girl's pretty face turned red and she said weakly, "Ayton, can you eat it?"

"...eat"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ariel grabbed the two thickest thighs first, not caring about Lan Keke's cannibalistic gaze. She had been thinking about these two thighs for a long time.

Ayton took a piece of thigh meat from Ariel and looked at Eluli, who was eating wild fruit, and Zhenghe Elegance, who was eating cocoa from the wild boar's front hooves, as well as Ariel, whose mouth was already full of oil.

A faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth. It was unlike the dark cave here. Such an unrestrained life was what he wanted.

……

At the same time, at the edge of the Forest of Despair.

A shrill scream resounded through the sky, startling a large number of small animals and fleeing in all directions. Starry Night only felt that the entire night sky completely collapsed in an instant, and everything turned into a deathly gray despair at this moment.

Xingye looked at the soundless mother's body, or corpse, in front of her. The head had flown ten meters away, with splashing blood all over the place. Blood was still spurting out from her neck. The blood was so red. , just like her scarlet eyes.

A gust of hot night wind blew by, but it only made her feel the biting cold.

Ignoring the knight wearing holy silver armor beside him, Xingye endured his trembling body, climbed up, stood up, and walked towards her mother. But one time, she was hit hard on the back by the knight behind her. She fell to the ground again, and two lines of tears quickly fell from the corners of her eyes.

"Why...why don't you let me go over...to see my mother...for the last time?"

Three days ago, a small group of knights in silver armor came towards them aggressively. Fortunately, the magic warnings and magic traps arranged around them bought them most of the time and allowed them to escape. The mother and daughter escaped into the Forest of Despair. But then more silver knights and ordinary knights came. They hid all the way, entangled with them through magic traps and familiarity with the terrain, but they still couldn't escape their large numbers and the monsters in the Forest of Despair.

Finally, after encountering a battle with monsters, they were surrounded by knights. During the battle, Xingye saw the one-armed adventurer hiding behind the knight, the adventurer she personally saved a month ago.

In the end, Ruth's head was chopped off by a knight wearing luxurious silver armor... At this time, only she could understand the grief in her heart. These self-righteous silver knights of the church and ordinary knights of Black Rock City just looked on with cold eyes. No mercy at all.

"Tch, it turns out he's a hybrid of dark elf and human. You're wasting my time." The noble knight took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on his sword, saying with disdain.

"Sir Knight, what about my reward..." the one-armed adventurer asked in fear.

"Huh, give it to him." The noble knight threw away the handkerchief in his hand and motioned for a knight to give him a gold coin.

"Thank you, sir." The adventurer took the gold coin, bowed and thanked him, then turned his head and ran away without even looking at the silver-haired girl. He didn't know whether it was because he felt guilty or because he didn't care to look at a dying person.

"Lord Paladin, what are you going to do with this person? She is pretty. If she sells it to the royal capital, the price will definitely be very good. Tsk tsk, a hybrid between a dark elf and a human." A fat middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, At the same time, he was also preparing to stuff a bag of gold coins into his arms.

Paladin Scott frowned slightly and motioned to the attendant next to him to take the gold coin: "Then you, this bastard, can do what you want, and remember not to talk nonsense about what happened today."

"As you order, my lord"

"Huh! Let's go." Following Scott's order, the silver knights followed him and left.

The Lord of Black Rock City looked coldly at Xingye who was still lying on the ground, and ordered the knights under his command, "Take it for me, put on the forbidden demon ring, and transport it to the royal capital in ten days. During this period, no one is allowed to touch or touch her, otherwise she will die!" Do you understand everything?"

The surrounding knights did not dare to breathe for a moment, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."

A knight stepped forward to clasp Xingye's neck and put on the forbidden magic ring. A strong sense of suffocation hit her heart. The depleted magic power in her body seemed to be solidified, and she could only pull the black iron ring around her neck with both hands.

"Ahem, what did you do to me?"

"Let's go." The knight pulled hard on the chain in his hand. The cold chain caused Xingye to almost fall and stagger.

"Ahem, can you let me bury my mother, please?" Xingye said with a tearful voice.

"No matter, just take her away and keep this woman to feed the wolves. She actually dares to give birth to a half-elf with a dark elf. It is really a shame for us humans."

"That's not true..."

Before Xingye finished speaking, he felt the chain around his neck tighten, and he fell forward, unable to hold back his tears.

"Asshole, be careful, if there are any wounds on her body, the value will at least double," the city lord couldn't help but yelled loudly.

"Yes, yes, I know my mistake." The knight nodded in fear.

The city lord glanced at Xingye, who was lying on the ground crying: "That's it, go and bury that woman, let's go first."

"As you order, my lord"

After that, another person pulled the chain. This time, that person did not dare to use too much force for fear of hurting the goods and being punished by the city lord.

Xingye took one last look at her mother's body, held back the tears in her eyes, and left silently. However, despair and grief continued to accumulate in her heart, and she didn't know when it would burst out...

"Live!" These were the last words Ruth left for her.
