Another Life: Elf Archer

The moment she stepped into the golden hall, all the guests, attendants and herself knew that this was the most anticipated part of the day.

Niannian originally thought that she would be ushered in from a remote side door, but she did not expect that Adam would take her directly to the main entrance and let her step on the thick and gorgeous red carpet from the last guest seat. to the papal throne.

Is this so that everyone can see what she looks like?

Nian Nian was a little angry for no reason, but she also knew that at this moment she had no chance to make a mistake and could only take one step at a time.

A gentle gasp penetrated his ears, and Nian Nian realized that the wound on his face had not completely healed, and Luna had not covered it up. It must have looked shocking and terrifying at the moment.

Suddenly, Nian Nian calmed down and looked back unceremoniously at the evasive guests, seeing the curiosity, inquiry and calculation in their eyes.

She also took a look at the famous Golden Hall. After a rough glance up, down, left and right, she didn't see much artistic and historical value, but it was worthy of its name.

As for the guests present today, judging from their status, they are very connotative and sophisticated. They all serve luxuriously, and various family crests are also worn in conspicuous places. If a meteorite happens to hit this place today, cover It is estimated that white flags will be hung all over Asia.

Because there are not only human nobles here, but also many dwarf guests every year, and the serious dwarf sitting under the Pope himself should be the dwarf king.

The two elves sitting opposite the dwarf king were even more acquaintances.Nian Nian looked over openly. Brothers Engus and Midier were still in the same attire. Seeing Nian Nian approaching, Midier narrowed his eyes and looked dissatisfied. He turned to look at the Pope. Engus was calmer. He nodded slightly to Nian Nian, looked around her, paused, and then moved forward and retreated with his brothers, staring at the Pope together.

Nian Nian calmly turned his eyes and looked at the Pope sitting on the throne.

The whispers that had been lingering in his ears immediately turned into silence. There was no need to look back, and Nian Nian knew that everyone was waiting for the Pope's response.

Although he had met the Pope earlier, Nian Nian still found him to be a very difficult person to figure out.

The pope's appearance is not outstanding. At first glance, he can't even find any distinctive features. Looking back, he only remembers a ball of bright light. But if he traces it carefully, he feels that every feature of this face is... Everywhere is perfect, a worthy masterpiece of the Creator.

It is estimated that this is the power of setting. After all, this contradictory cognitive difference is really inconsistent with reality.

Thinking of this, Nian Nian was a little nervous. She suddenly realized that almost all the guests present were NPCs, and they would only act according to their respective background settings. Whether it was the stance of Engus or the supreme majesty of the Pope, There was no chance of her messing up, and she immediately felt like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.

This also gave her a sense of absurdity. The city of Chang'an in the far east was busy with traffic. The residents and visitors of the Emerald Forest were enjoying a quiet time. The dwarf players were chewing their fill. The Pope was still filled with smoke. A shocking event was being held here. The birthday banquets all over the place not only seemed like parallel worlds that did not interfere with each other, but also reminded her in a very real way that this was indeed a volume of history that was still being written.

Who is the protagonist of this world and this volume of history?

"Our guest's injury has not healed for a long time. Our Holy Church has neglected it. However, please rest assured. If you are still sick after the purification ceremony, I will personally take care of it."

The Pope spoke gently and looked at Engus and Midir, not only to apologize, but also to explain the reason, and to give an explanation.

The two Engus naturally understood the reason why the wound could not be healed. They just wanted to make a public statement. After receiving the Pope's personal response, they stopped entangled and exchanged a few polite words. Engus raised his hand and pointed. Nian Nian, a series of elven words flew out from the fingertips and blended into the wounds on Nian Nian's face, giving Nian Nian a smooth, white and tender new face in the blink of an eye.

As members of the elves, Engus was naturally not troubled by this minor injury. Previously, he did not want to act rashly in public and make the Pope mistakenly think that they were arrogant. Now he found an excuse in a few words, and then took action simply and neatly. The light green elven text appeared again. It flew around Nian Nian's legs and arms before disappearing.

Nian Nian looked relaxed, faced Engus and Midir, and gave the elven salute.

The Moon Spirit Bow suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. Engus nodded with great satisfaction, thanked the Pope, sat back and closed his eyes to rest. He made it clear that he did not intend to interfere in the affairs around him, but he just couldn't stand the suffering of the juniors of his clan.

Being able to recover openly and openly, Niannian was grateful and relieved. This way, she had more freedom to act, and she didn't have to look forward and backward for fear of exposing Luna's existence.

"I have met the Pope. I am grateful for the Pope's care over the past few days and his willingness to give me a chance to return from my lost ways. I am very grateful to this junior."

The Pope turned his gaze back to Nian Nian and said kindly:

"You have lived here for such a long time. You and Archbishop Adam go in and out together, sleep and eat together. You are already one of your own. There is no need to say such polite words. I know you are a little excited to see the mentor of the same race. Calm down your mood a little. Let's Just start."

What he said was too casual and too intimate.

The gazes of all the guests on Nian Nian's back became a little hot again. First, High Priest Engus took the initiative to support the scene, and then the Pope himself spoke to comfort him. In addition, Archbishop Adam happened to be the one who brought Nian Nian here. Now, this meeting Er was still standing behind Nian Nian, watching her back quietly. The value of Nian Nian, a "surrender traitor", immediately increased. Many people began to think about what path they would take later, so that they could get to know Nian Nian.

The boss personally put the person on the high platform. In addition to staying there, even if he accidentally fell down and was shattered to pieces, he would not give the boss face.

Nian Nian knew that the Pope was deliberately acting like this, so naturally he would not make trouble in public, so he lowered his head in a bit of shame:

"Just kidding, I'm ready."

The pope's smile is not as compassionate as that of a mortal, but it is very similar to the smile on the face of the tall statue of the God of Creation behind the throne. Unfortunately, a smile suitable for a statue may not be suitable for a mortal. Taking a peek every year, I always feel that the pope smiles a little. hypocritical.

"Good boy, step forward."

Two overlapping voices echoed in the golden hall, one was majestic and solemn, with a flat and emotionless voice, and the other was gentle and drizzle, showing gentleness. It was obvious that the volume of the former overshadowed the latter, but every year, the latter's voice felt clearer.

The statue of God and the agent of God spoke at the same time.

The attendants and guards belonging to the Holy Church all knelt down, lowering their heads and not daring to look around. The guests who were followers of the God of Creation also immediately knelt down and bowed down. The other guests suppressed their surprise knowingly and still bowed their heads after saluting. Head, use silence to express respect for God.

Nian Nian glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Engus and Midir both looked lackluster. Engus still closed his eyes to rest while Midir yawned out of boredom.

That’s right, the elves and the God of Creation don’t seem to be on the same page, so there’s no need to be too respectful.

However, the Duke did not attend today? He must have received the invitation as well, or the City of Usher has made its position clear.

A few thoughts flashed through my mind. Nian Nian calmed down and took a step forward. After standing still, he lowered his head and looked at his toes. He was very calm and self-reliant.

White light flooded under his feet, and the drawn magic circle slowly rotated at some point. Nian Nian was suddenly unable to move, but his heart began to beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

Someone walked into the magic circle and stood in front of Niannian. She lost consciousness when her eyebrows hurt, and the beating of her heart seemed to come from the distant horizon.

She seemed to be floating above her head, with an excellent bird's-eye view, taking in all the conditions of the body. When she looked at it more carefully, she unlocked the perspective, but instead of seeing bones, flesh and skin, she saw streaks of hair. The meridians diagram of light, the light is a faint light grass color, the meridians that accommodate the flow of light are thick black, converge from the limbs to the heart, a drop-shaped seed is beating regularly in the heart, every time it contracts, the golden light moves towards If you move one inch outward, the black color on the surface of the meridians will become lighter visible to the naked eye.

According to this efficiency estimate, it is estimated that the dark power in the meridians can fade away in 5 minutes at most. At the same time, she also found that black lines began to appear on the surface of the strange seed, which became clearer and clearer, but would not fill up. Such a small seed.

What did the Pope have buried in his body?

"This is divine blood, the condensed power of the Creator God. It needs some time to adapt to the environment, so I buried the divine blood into your body in advance."

As soon as the thought came together, a gentle answer appeared in his ears, and Nian Nian immediately restrained his mind and did not dare to think wildly.

"With divine blood maintaining balance in your body, you can avoid the pain of uprooting the power of darkness. In the future, under the light of the God of Creation, you can slowly eliminate the darkness with the power of faith."

Nian Nian feels that divine blood, which sounds very domineering, should not be easy to dig out from the body.

"That's right, God's power cannot be left to mortal choice. If the soil recognized by it wants to abandon the divine blood, it must prove to God that the soil here is already barren and unworthy of God's coming."

Prove that this is not a religious explanation of "if I can't get you, I will destroy you"

I just can’t complain every year.

What other choice did she have, she just had to chant sutras and pray.

"Don't be afraid. Faith and expressing faith are two different things. I only need the former."

In the silent communication, the meridians have faded away from black, and only the light can be seen flowing. Every year, I can see that my skin has returned to its original healthy wheat color.

ended

It's over.

Year after year of waiting with fear, the black-patterned seeds gradually calmed down, finally stopped beating, and were buried somewhere deep in the heart.

The feeling of a touch between his brows returned to his body. Nian Nian raised his gaze slightly and saw the Pope stretching his fingers back.

The moment his eyes focused on his fingertips, Nian Nian saw that the Pope also focused his eyes on his own fingers. A strange connection was established by the eyes of the two people. In the blink of an eye, the fingertips were pulled back by some force. Click on Nian Nian’s eyebrow again.

There was a sharp pain in the heart, and the divine blood buried deep moved quickly under the skin, like a squirming flesh worm, following a stream of heat towards the wrist of his right hand.

The mark of the Yueling Bow on his wrist was as hot as boiling, as if it was melting the bones. He gritted his teeth every year to prevent himself from crying out in pain.

It seemed that someone had made a sharp cut at the mark of the Moon Spirit Bow. A golden and black arrow pattern appeared on the drawn bow string. The rune pattern drawn by Luna shone brightly and was lost again every year. the feeling of this body.

The drastic change occurred suddenly, and everyone had no time to react and did not know what happened. They only saw the elf successfully restored his skin color, but the Pope was suddenly enveloped in a soft light green light, and his eyes flashed. Engus and Midir Flashing behind Nian Nian, he calmly stared at the guests who didn't know what was going on.

Adam bowed deeply to the two of them and stepped aside. The attendants who had escorted him into the golden hall every year immediately dispersed. His sword was unsheathed and placed on the necks of the other two archbishops. Half of the guards who were kneeling on the ground were also Jump up immediately and control the remaining guards.

"you"

"I'm sorry, I won't take the initiative to hurt your lives." Adam explained, his tone was stiff and without sincerity.

Engus raised his arm and clenched it into a fist. All the guests suddenly felt like their blood was stagnant. Their hearts shrank and their mouths went dry, as if all the water in their bodies had evaporated. All of them stared wide-eyed, unable to He looked at Engus with confidence.

"I'm sorry, I won't take the initiative to hurt your lives."

Engus said slightly tiredly. It was obvious that the shock just now was still a bit worn out. Midiel stepped in front of him and stabbed the five-pointed gun in his hand heavily into the ground. The harsh sound of gold and stone hitting each other shocked everyone again. Decided to wait and see what happens.

Speaking of which, given the Pope's own omissions, what reason do they have to risk their lives?

If something happens to the Pope, it is unlikely that the various forces in Gaia will be re-divided.

As for the elves huddled in the Jaces Forest, they don't pose any threat at all.

The guests watched the show quietly, and Adam stared intently at Nian Nian in the light ball, judging how quickly the original power belonging to the elves in Nian Nian's body would backfire on the Pope. Even though he had already calculated countless possibilities for everything to be safe, I can't guarantee anything will go wrong.

Engus and Midir were also paying attention to the situation here every year, but they were also wary of the guests' reactions to avoid being disturbed by unsighted guys.

Suddenly, the two of them seemed to feel something, and they looked excitedly towards the entrance of the golden hall.

Adam turned his head and looked, knowing that everything was settled, a smile emerged and he raised his voice:

"Welcome the Duke of Usher and the Elf Chief."

The Duke, who was wearing a sapphire blue dress, had a gentle face. He was frightened and uneasy, and a little uncomfortable with the embarrassment of such an intimate relationship. He carefully helped a mature and charming elf woman into the hall. The woman was wearing a simple priest's dress. The robes move automatically in the absence of wind, like waves of grass blown by the breeze. Guests who are closer seem to smell the fragrance of earth after the rain, daisies in the sun and a hint of decay.

噗

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground drew everyone's attention back. Nian Nian watched blankly as the Pope fell to the ground. He raised his hand and touched his face, which was covered with blood.

Adam immediately pulled Nian Nian behind him, his shocked eyes wandering between the stopped Elf leader and the unconscious Pope.

No, this was not in the plan, this was definitely not part of the plan

Even Engus and Midier were shocked and hurriedly leaned over to check on the Pope. After a moment, they both looked at Nian Nian, their eyes as bright as a torch and extremely sharp:

"He was poisoned."
