Another Life: Elf Archer

The three Engus brothers protected the patriarch Olymp and Pope Ronan, and stayed at the edge of the protective circle every year. On the left was Engus, and on the right was the Duke of Usher.

When she blurted out hastily, Engus was the first to respond, raising his arm to block Agate's chest. A trace of apology flashed across his face, which turned into doubt in the blink of an eye, and he looked at Niannian.

Not only him, but the Duke of Usher also focused on Nian Nian's face. Midiel rolled his eyes and paid attention to Agate's movements. He took a step forward and stood behind the patriarch, and the five-pointed spear clanged down. , a halo surrounded him and the clan leader.

Nian Nian just felt that something had been missed, and in desperation wanted to stop the person first before talking about it. At this time, the few took a deep breath and caught some clues.

"Patriarch"

Nian Nian tentatively spoke, and saw the patriarch looking at him, making sure that she could hear him, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Patriarch, the juice delivered to me every meal in the past three days can heal my injuries. You should know this, right?"

"I know, Agate sent it to you through his people," the elf leader nodded slightly, his eyes hesitant, "I checked and there is nothing wrong with the juice."

"Only checked once, or checked every time"

Nian Nian estimated that the clan leader would not be so careless, but he still asked, knowing that he was a bit aggressive, but his face was calm.

"I only checked that once, do you have any suspicion?"

Nian Nian did not answer in a hurry. He looked away from the clan leader and looked into Dean Agate's turbid but deep eyes. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Compared to the elf clan leader whom she had only met a few times, her friendship with Dean Agate was deeper.

After sealing up her memories and re-entering the game world, she was like a blank piece of paper. Nick was "tireless in teaching" and Alexander always corrected her with sincerity. She always felt nagging. After sneaking into the Temple Academy, she met Agate, a kind and kind old man. She was also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she was a bit bold at that time. After discovering that Agate was indeed not like those annoying human NPCs who shouted to kill her when they saw her, she often went to chat with Agate out of curiosity, and was always carefully treated. The old dean had to worry about entertaining, just eating and drinking.

Thinking about that time together, Nian Nian hesitated a little, not only because she was not sure what the consequences of her accusation would be, but also because she found conclusive evidence from her past memories.

"Actually, it's better to explain everything clearly." Agate suddenly spoke, his voice was old and a little hoarse.

Nian Nian stood up slowly, tightened the collar of his cloak, and smiled helplessly:

"I'm only telling you what I know. What happens later has nothing to do with me."

She really didn't want to be a victim of trouble anymore.

The faces of Engus and the Duke suddenly became solemn, and they looked at each other with complicated expressions. Adam stood next to Nian Nian and raised his hand to hold her shoulders, worried that she would not be able to stand steadily:

"You can clear it all you want, but she really needs to rest."

Nian Nian glanced at Adam gratefully, sighed softly, and said calmly:

"I don't have any more evidence, it's just a guess. The reason for this speculation is that I am immune to all toxins taken orally. However, immunity does not mean that the toxin does not exist. It may be deposited and lurking in the body."

Back then, because she liked to eat randomly and felt that the various symptoms of poisoning were very new, she often "tested the poison on her own body", so Pascal installed a plug-in for her to allow her to pick up food without worry.

Immunotoxins, any side effects that come with the food are ineffective.

The taste and texture of various foods will not be affected. To explain further, after the data packet "food" enters her data body through the "taste", it still receives the content of the data packet, but it will Do a quick and simple filter and store the "side effect" information except the smell separately, just like putting it in the recycle bin, without interacting with the data body itself.

This is a game after all. The "poisoned" state has a time limit. When the countdown ends, the side effect information will be automatically cleared. There is no need to do anything specially every year.

Thinking of this, Nian Nian secretly thought in his heart that only the deadly poison could survive forever because it could only be removed through the "resurrection" process.

In this case, I have eaten so much over the years that I have accumulated a lot of deadly "junk" in my body. It seems that the responsibility for the Pope's poisoning still lies with me.

As for why Agate knows this trait about himself... He touched his nose every year. It is probably because he was too taboo at that time and dared to eat any mess, even the medicine used by Agate to suppress hidden wounds. Take a sneaky taste.

Agate must have thought of this, and his expression softened:

"Don't drink my potion indiscriminately. I have experienced the "Wheel of Death" and my muscles and bones have been broken long ago. I only relied on the powerful magic power to hold on for hundreds of years. That potion is used to maintain the body. In case the old bones in this body are completely necrotic, if a healthy person drinks that kind of strong medicine, all the blood vessels in the body may be broken. "

Elf leader Olymp looked serious:

"Agate, the poison on Ronan's body is"

"It's just similar. After all, the only thing in this world that can compete with the so-called light magic and save my life is the original power of the vegetation of your elves."

"So that's it," Olymp said clearly, with a look of sadness and remorse, "That's why I didn't notice anything strange."

Mix the toxins into the original power of the elves and let the elves in Nian Nian absorb it. Others will naturally not notice the abnormality. Then, when Nian Nian's power is transferred to the Pope's body and backfires, the toxins will naturally be absorbed. gone.

Agate let out a long sigh: "Olympe, after being separated for so long, you still regard him as so important."

It was also the first time for the three Engus people to see such a fragile expression on the face of their mother, the head of the clan. They were a little moved and at a loss for a moment.

The love and hatred of the previous generation, whether they rush to persuade them or explore some causes and consequences, it seems inappropriate.

In addition, the three brothers have long been on their own, and even the most hot-tempered Midir is not really reckless. Although he opened his mouth several times to question, looking at Agate's old demeanor and the look he looked at his mother, he felt like saying Not exported.

Apart from anything else, it is also true that Agate endured torture and hundreds of years of illness and aging for the sake of the three brothers.

The Duke of Usher's mood is even more complicated. Although he is of mixed race, he looks more like a human race. He has basically been hiding near the City of Usher. He is able to survive in the chaotic City of Usher and establish two industries, the auction house and the gladiatorial arena. , thanks to Agate’s secret assistance.

Nian Nian actually wanted to stay and follow the gossip immediately, but she was really exhausted physically and mentally. Now that she had made it clear, she cleared her throat and pointed to the door:

"I'm an outsider, so I won't be an eyesore here. Can I leave first?"

"Well," Agate tapped the ground with his cane, "Let's go."

Before Nian Nian could say another word, she and Adam had been moved outside the door of the golden hall, and the two large maroon wooden doors had been closed tightly.

"other people......"

Looking around every year, only two of them were thrown out.

Adam speculated for a moment and said firmly:

"Although it is not difficult to kill them all, there is no need for Agate and the others to waste time on the idlers for the time being. They should have been transferred out or trapped in place."

Nian Nian sighed quietly: "They are your colleagues after all. Can't you have more confidence in their strength?"

After hearing this, Adam thought seriously and nodded in recognition:

"If Chief Olymp is willing to distract himself, she and Agate can easily kill the other two archbishops. Midir is brave, the Duke is an archer like you, and Engus's attainments in water magic are unrivaled in the entire continent. No one can beat them, and the three of them are brothers. They have a tacit understanding when working together, and they are both offensive and defensive. They can always kill the enemy slowly, but it will also take some time. After all, this is the Pope's Hall, and the light magic increases here. It’s a pity that the strength gap between the two sides is too great, so I’m not optimistic about it.”

The real armed force of the Holy Church is the Paladin team. Because the Pope is personally stationed here today, he was sent to hunt down Simil and his party who lost their trace after entering the Papal States. Unexpectedly, a loophole was taken advantage of.

Of course, Simil's whereabouts were reported by Adam.

Nian Nian glanced at him and wanted to turn around and leave, but he was still in an extremely weak state, groping for support on the wall and moving one step at a time.

The guests had been suddenly asked to leave, and the guards and attendants on duty were busy making arrangements, but the area around the golden hall became quiet.

Adam looked at her for a while and suggested: "Do you want me to hug you?"

"Thank you, no." Nian Nian shook his head.

"Carry you"

"No need, men and women are not intimate, I can just walk slowly by myself." Nian Nian refused sternly.

Adam was a little worried: "But if you keep going like this, you won't be able to return to the room until dark."

Ten minutes passed, and Niannian had only moved two or three meters, and he was already sweating profusely. Looking at his shaky appearance, he seemed to have exhausted all his energy to maintain his standing posture.

Nian Nian was silent and stopped for a while: "I seem to have been stupid."

"Well," Adam looked at her clothes, still a little confused, "So you are not showing weakness to me?"

"..."

Nian Nian tugged on his cloak and rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

After being separated from her flying cloak for several days, she almost forgot about the existence of this treasure. It took her so long to remember it. Who would have thought that Adam thought she was deliberately not using the cloak's floating ability? I don’t know from which database I got this wrong interpretation that I was pretending to be weak.

......

Nian Nian and Adam, who were floating off the ground, quickly turned into a corridor, opened the side door leading to the rose garden, left the chaotic noise coming from nowhere behind, and left the Pope's Hall.

"What happened to the head of my family?"

Breathing in the fresh air, Nian Nian felt refreshed. Question marks began to pop up in my head one by one. I chose one of the questions to ask.

"I told her Ronan was here, and she came, recognized her lover, and volunteered to be imprisoned in the depths of the Papal Chamber."

Nian Nian couldn't help but click her tongue: "Infatuated, but she is not trapped, otherwise where would there be so many maids Luna."

"The Pope can't trap her." After a pause, Adam frowned, "I suspect that the Pope didn't really imprison her, but more like keeping her by his side. Before Olymp left the Papal States and returned to the Forest of Jesus, he used three I helped cover up the artifact, but the Pope seemed to want to let him go, but when Olymp appeared in front of him again, the Pope was surprised."

Nian Nian mused: "That divine blood really erased the memory of the Pope as a mortal."

"This is true," Adam said seriously, "This is the setting, there will be no exceptions."

"I understand, I understand, but well, there may not be no exceptions." Nian Nian said with a smile.

"Yeah" Adam looked at her doubtfully.

"Don't mention the setting, just talk about human nature," Niannian casually picked a rose from the roadside, "There is also a sequence for erasing memories. Trivial and insignificant memories will naturally collapse in one blow, but unforgettable memories Always take root deeper.”

For example, the country was destroyed, the family was destroyed, the wife was separated, and the happy life before the tragedy happened.

"They are not real people." Adam retorted softly, but his expression was extremely gentle when he looked at Nian Nian.

Nian Nian was silent for a long time, and then he wanted to sigh again: "That's not necessarily the case."

Especially for characters like the Pope of the Templar Church and the leader of the Elf Clan, who can influence the whole body and have considerable power, it is really difficult to say what is at the core.

In the early days, those players who were addicted to the game world and whose nervous systems were damaged looked like ordinary vegetative people to the outside world. Their consciousness was dormant in their minds and could not be awakened. However, their subconscious activities and emotions as human beings were still there. They used data to build a warm bed. It is really not difficult to set the rules and create a dream of a new life for them.

Albert's excuse for bringing these people to the laboratory was to temporarily save their lives, but in fact they were piled into the world as bricks and stones.

"Perhaps, for them, this is the way of survival they dream of." Adam said lightly, emphasizing the word "dream".

"Live in a dream, die in a dream" sneered Nian Nian, grabbed the petals of the rose, and threw it away.

"If you don't wake up, you won't know it's a dream." Adam raised his hand to catch a petal that had been thrown away every year, and gently rubbed it, and the faint fragrance lingered on his fingertips.

Nian Nian pursed her lips, cleaned off the sharp thorns, held the remaining flower stalk in her mouth, and gritted her teeth up and down.

Those who wake up are destined not to wake up. When their life span comes to an end, the consciousness that cannot move and choose independently will have only one way to die.

but

"After a few years, there may not be no new hope." This is all we can hope for every year.

"Well, fortunately for us," Adam frowned and changed his words, "Fortunately, you can definitely wait until that day."

Nian Nian responded vaguely, without comment.

The matter with the Elf Clan Leader has come to an end, and now comes the finishing touch to the last thing.

Feeling that he had regained some strength, Nian Nian stretched out and inadvertently looked into the distance and saw a familiar figure:

"twin"
