Rules for raising elves [Interstellar Apocalypse]
Chapter 20 Death Falls
"If it weren't for our previous friendship, I would never have come to this hellish place."
Musa looked at the huge waterfall in the distance that looked like a roaring beast, and rubbed the knots on his arms with some fear.
Although there is still a long distance between them, the turbulent white water curtain still easily exerts pressure on people, making people unable to help but sigh that human beings are so insignificant in the face of nature.
Its white water flow is as dreamy as a fairyland in the sun. After a hundred-meter drop, it hits the water below hard, stirring up a hazy mist and making a thunderous sound.
This is a wonder of nature, a strange combination of beauty and power.
But under this beautiful skin, its thrills match its majestic scenery. Countless orcs and Chia people who wanted to take risks were buried here, which gave it the notoriety of the "Death Falls".
Looking at the thin young man in front of him, Musa couldn't bear to persuade him: "If the rumors are true, then the crystal flower is at the bottom of the waterfall pool. The impact of the water flow and the huge vortex will kill you. Life! Not to mention going into the water at night! Leo! You are a good boy, I can’t let you die in vain!”
Karl also tore off his companion's clothes with some concern. When he was hesitating about how to say something to make him give up, the gray-haired boy spoke.
"I understand, I understand your concerns."
Patting Carl on the shoulder, trying to comfort the golden-haired boy who grew up with him, Leo still had a genial and warm smile on his face, but his words were firmer than ever.
"I am not a reckless person. I was prepared for everything before coming. This is not only a dangerous challenge, but also an acceptance process. I have worked hard for it. This is the ultimate test."
"People won't always be weak, right?"
The young man's smile sparkled in the sun. It was full of vitality, unyielding, and seemed to embody a courage to break through all obstacles.
Mo Xili, who had been standing behind and trying to be a bystander, was burned by the sunshine or the young man's shining courage. His originally humble and polite but slightly indifferent expression suddenly became a little loose.
Is it because of the influence of that "star"?
The stones around her, which in his opinion were so weak, ordinary, and vulnerable, began to feel warm.
He seemed to be attracted to her and influenced by her, and he was undergoing drastic changes.
It seemed that if it was brighter and polished harder, it would be closer to her.
I am no longer willing to be an ordinary piece of dust at the mercy of others. I am no longer willing to be ordinary forever. Even if I burn myself, I must try my best to prove the value of my existence.
So everyone's life is not destined, but can they choose to have other possibilities?
"Let him go."
A clear and sweet sound like a violin sounded, and Muller hesitated for a moment before choosing to put down his blocking arm.
Leo turned around, and for the first time he looked squarely at the leader of the Third Army, who was of noble birth and strength, and who was as different from him as a cloud and mud, without flinching. He saw the other person slightly raising his smooth and clear chin, his eyes There is a lot less alienation and carelessness when we first met, and more sharpness and seriousness.
And respect.
A look that is completely impossible for a high-ranking noble to look at a lowly commoner.
Leo turned around firmly and headed towards his test.

Looking at Midori, who was not as lively as before and looked a little listless, Shia was a little confused for a moment.
"Qiqi, aren't you happy?"
Green Vine shook his head a little irritably, but still dutifully brought them to a high ground near the "Death Falls" before sunset.
The location of this place is excellent, it is still some distance away from the waterfall, but it can completely have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the waterfall.
Caleb stepped forward and hugged the elf in his arms, fearing that she would fall down accidentally.
"Wow!"
The elf looked at the semi-arc shape in front of him, the water leaping down from the high ground ferociously, and the waterfall with the overwhelming momentum, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
If Shia was so happy before, Qiqi would have been happy along with her.
But this time Qiqi never responded.
After a while, Qiqi curled up and said somewhat dullly, "Do you like it here?" ]
Sia nodded, "This is beautiful."
There was a rare second of silence.
Finally, Qiqi stretched out the small green vine and gently pulled the edge of Lasia's cloak, and whispered, "But I don't like this place, because it reminds me of pain." ]
But then there was something else in the voice, something indifferent, disgusting, something unique to a creature that had lived for thousands of years.
[This is a scar, an ugly scar caused by humans. ]
[I don’t understand that no matter what kind of human being, there are always so many desires. ]
[You can only live for a mere hundred years, and you are still so fragile, but you are still fighting for something meaningless. ]
[For those shallow desires, they constantly fight, destroy, and wantonly deprive other people of their rights. ]
[They wage war, saying they love you while throwing weapons at you. ]
[No matter who owns this planet, does it make any difference?]
[Obviously they are all the same life. ]
In the 42nd year after the interstellar period, a war broke out between the Galactic Empire and the Weixi Alliance to compete for the ownership of the Yaxing. A highly lethal stray bullet fell in this forest. Qiqi felt that the most The proud, most beautiful river in this forest was smashed into a large crater.
The large flowers that were carefully planted around the river and were as beautiful as gems were all destroyed and washed into the big pit.
The heat swept through the surrounding woods and meadows, leaving ugly scars.
It spent a lot of time and was unable to restore them. The deep pain made it unwilling to come back here again.
Every glance intensifies its hatred of humanity.
The elf gently held the touch of green, hoping to give his new friend some strength in this way. But the innocent voice asked Caleb a question that he couldn't answer.
"Caleb, Qiqi said, this is the wound torn open by the war on its body, but what is the war?"
"Is it just a fight? Why are they fighting?"
This moment seemed to stop him, recalling those days under artillery fire on the front line, those lives lost in despair, and those faces that had fought side by side but were forever fixed in that moment.
His throat seemed to be glued together. Caleb tried to open his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
"I don't know, Miss Shia."
The tall silver-haired man pressed against her little face in confusion, his strong arms tightly surrounding her as if he wanted to gain some strength from her.
Why did he resolutely choose to leave the place where he had fought so hard?
It's not just because he rejected the female forcefully arranged by the empire, refused to be with someone he didn't like, and refused to be arranged by the empire for the rest of his life, it was more of a kind of boredom.
A kind of tiredness of the struggle for power, the separation of life and death, and the scorched earth everywhere.
As orcs who were born with strong A-level blood, they were destined to be sent to the battlefield. They were taught from birth to become excellent soldiers and obey orders unconditionally. As long as the horn of war sounded, they would reach out. Sharp fangs and claws pounce on the enemy.
But no one told them why they were fighting so desperately, even if they risked their lives.
They said, "Everything is for the glory of the empire!"
But what exactly is the glory of the empire?
Is it the wealth and power tightly controlled by the families entrenched at the core of the empire, or is it the faces that divide the people into three, six or nine classes?
An understatement decision they made at the negotiating table cost tens of thousands of lives.
Those lives also existed with such enthusiasm.
They don't know the glory of the empire, they just want to do their best to survive.
He had seen too many soldiers who rushed to the front to get more purifiers and then turned into dust in the fire; the young orcs who were separated from the reserve army yesterday also used their innocent faces to think about their promotion. life, but fell into a pool of blood the next day.
"When I get promoted, I can take my family to live in the core area!"
"If possible, I would also like to find a female to marry, hehe."
They work hard to get what they want, but in the eyes of others, they are just toys within easy reach.
Perhaps he was tired of all this and could no longer find the meaning of fighting. After rejecting the empire's offer of marriage, regardless of the disappointed eyes of his teacher and the lonely eyes of his comrades, Caleb left everything behind and chose to be an ordinary person.
If he hadn't met Sia, he felt that the rest of his life would have been so ordinary.
Maybe one day, he will fall into a garbage star, quietly let the quicksand submerge his body, and face the end of his life as an ordinary person.
But after he picked up that strange egg on that deserted garbage star, and after he saw this beautiful little female for the first time, his life suddenly took on a different color.
It was as if I finally saw a ray of light in a dark world.
His confusion, his loneliness, and his persistence seemed to suddenly find belonging and hope.
He has a treasure that he wants to cherish for the rest of his life, a direction that he wants to follow, and a belief that he is willing to fight to the death for.
He wants to see her grow up, wants to keep watching her smile, and wants to accompany her to find her way home.
No matter whether there is a hail of bullets, a flash of swords or fire, or a road full of dangers, as long as she is still around, he will clear the way for her at all costs.
As always, never back down.
