[Rebirth Fantasy] Seven Dragons

The scenery in the Greyhound Principality, a human country that advocates knowledge, is as beautiful as her name. A clear stream flows in a certain plain to the east of the Principality. Baiyun occasionally has a team of knights riding white horses patrolling the borders of the Principality.

However, on this day, if you have the ability to look down from the sky, you can observe carefully that the patrol team belonging to the Greyhound Principality has a much narrower range than usual, and just outside this warning zone still belongs to the Greyhound Principality In the territory of the Gnostics, a blue-gold wave surged in the direction of the Gnostics--or human soldiers holding a giant blue shield of a griffin or holding a short crossbow, wearing thick full-body armor and riding shining The scorching sun lancers with magical war horses, howling eagles, and countless griffins flying in the sky to guard, behind them are carriages such as carriages and cattle, as well as priestesses and spirits who believe in Elrath.

The military discipline is strict, and the flags block out the sun.

These are the armies of the Holy Griffin Empire.

Occasionally, a patrol team belonging to the Greyhound Principality was on guard at the border and saw this magnificent azure crowd scene that ordinary people would hardly see in their lifetime, and they just turned around and left silently, pretending not to see it.

"You see that there is no captain, so it is a magical war horse... I heard that those magical mounts can gallop along even the faintest light?" The young warrior on the horse looked back with longing.

But what the young soldier's longing received was the captain's severe criticism, "Shut up! If you don't want to be chased by those guys as enemies."

February, the month of willow flowers.The Holy Griffin Empire quietly took advantage of the Greyhound Principality to send troops southward, aiming at Gnostil.

And in a certain forest closer to Gnostic, dozens of cavalrymen in gray coats riding ordinary war horses galloped past the forest path.

The white mist produced by breathing in the damp and cold air in the southern forest dissipated in the gallop, and the clatter of horseshoes rang in disorder.

However, without anyone noticing, the fog that rose at an unknown time gradually enveloped the figures of the cavalry.The forest, which was startled by the sound of horseshoes, fell into silence again in the blink of an eye, as if no one had ever been there.

Those cavalrymen, dozens of cavalrymen, the outposts of the Holy Griffon Empire army, disappeared forever in this forest that already belonged to the Gnostics.

No more audio.It was like being swallowed by this forest.

The Moon of Flowers in the Willows belongs to Red Village.

Everyone gathered together, and many of them looked dazed at first, but looking at the atmosphere, they knew that something terrible had happened.There are a few small circles gathered together in the crowd, the center is those who belong to the relatively powerful people among the red, some are talking to their companions in a low voice with a dignified expression, and some are frowning Shaking his head at those around him.

But since people with knowledge are conveying the news to those around them, during the not too long period of time when the crowd gathered, the "deadly news" spread through the crowd after all in the contact of the crowd. Come.

From low-pitched narrations to trivial conversations among several people, some even made exclamations.Slowly, the atmosphere of panic and resentment overwhelmed the blankness and silence at the beginning, and many people became a little agitated.

"Quiet me." A flat and hoarse voice exploded in mid-air, suddenly suppressing all the noisy voices.It's Joe.

Standing on the platform prepared in advance, Qiao looked at the companions gathered under the stage who had worked hard with him for many years. Many familiar faces in his memory were no longer there for a long time. There are also children.

"Perhaps many of you have heard of it... That's right, the bastards of the Holy Griffon Empire are coming. Although I don't know why it is now, why they sent troops to fight here, but the most important point is It's certain—since those guys are here, even if they just pass by, it won't make us feel better..."

Standing on the high platform, Joe used his strength to spread what he said, "Everyone has lived in the cracks for so many years, and it is estimated that no one still has naive illusions about this, praying that those who come to kill will let them go. The road to life... But roads are made by people. Today I chose a road. I don’t know how many of you will follow me, but those who follow me, just like in these years, as long as I am still alive, so that those of you who are alive can have something to eat, and those who are dead... someone can collect the corpse..."

"Boss, why are you mother-in-law and mother today? What are you going to do and everyone won't follow you, boss?" The abrupt intervention eased the tense atmosphere a lot, and some people laughed out loud because of these words.

"That's right, boss, why don't the brothers follow you? It took us a while to get used to the appearance of trying to separate the family, and goosebumps arose."

Many people below laughed, but Joe still didn't laugh. Even though he felt the warmth of everyone, it was still difficult to laugh, or it was more difficult to laugh because of this warmth.Her choice determines the life and death of the person behind this warmth.

But bearing this kind of warmth and the corresponding heaviness is what a leader should do. Even after hesitating for a moment, Joe quickly calmed down his slightly shaken mood and said, "Go to Horace. The people around me Miss Saka's full name is Saka-Helaishi, the second member of the Undead Council. She is here to invite us to join Helaishi. They have established a new city and hope that all of us can move there."

"Helaishi?" "Helaishi..." The people below talked a lot, most of them were frowning and unwilling.Being willing to follow does not mean following ignorantly.

Those who live in the world in the Gnostics are the least afraid of death when they are desperate, but they are also the group of people who are most afraid of death.Because you want to live, you will not be afraid of death.Therefore, the vast majority of Gnostics keep a respectful distance from Helais, the habitat of the dead in the east.

"I was born here, grew up here, and lived here. I also have the feelings that everyone has. When Saka told me about this matter the day before yesterday, I originally planned to go with them alone to show everyone After looking at the situation, I just didn't expect that the Holy Griffin Empire would make an action at this time." Qiao smiled wryly, lowered his eyes, and clearly felt very uncomfortable facing such an impossible opponent, and stood for the same life and death. It is also very uncomfortable for my companions to make decisions that do not know the future.

But only a moment later, Joe opened his eyes again, and his unhurried voice spread in the wind again. "Avaya, this is the name of that city. It is a new city, and the residents in it will be mostly human in the future. Saka promised me that after we go, he will treat us as ordinary residents and work hard There is food to eat, and... there are jobs that kill people and jobs that don't kill people. If we go, we can choose for ourselves. Even if the blood on our hands can't be washed off today, our children , child's child, you don't have to get used to killing people after birth..."

"But Boss, that's Horace. Although it is said to be a new city dominated by humans, no one knows if it will be used as materials by those necromancers..." Someone in the crowd weakly uttered voice of doubt.And even though they didn't speak, just by looking at their expressions, you can tell that there are quite a few people who have this kind of idea. Now it's just because the person who suggested "go to Helaishi" is the leader they have always trusted and relied on, Joe, That's why they can still consider it even if they resist it like they are now.

Jo's eyes scanned the circle below, and then she raised her head, red hair like fire. "I trust them!" she said.

The relocation of all staff was decided later.

"I believe them!" Joe's words directly contributed to this result.

But in fact, even if he was resolutely moved at the time, and he was not a child, how could Joe naively trust Mesaka in such a completely unreserved manner.Those words, I just said it nicely out of helplessness, I said it to myself to make myself feel at ease, I said it to everyone to make everyone feel at ease, and I said it to Mesaka and the others to make them feel more close.This is the so-called language used in interpersonal communication.

After all, it was her decision to go to Horace.It's not a good thing for her to show her doubts about her future boss like Leng Touqing.

It is impossible to live up to the present with only the rectum.

But no matter how many considerations are involved in saying it, it is contagious, just as Joe said, "I believe them".After she, the leader, said these words, the red person seemed to really believe that if he went to the new city of Avaya, which he heard about for the first time, there would be a new and bright future. Saka ordered the construction of the teleportation array.

Joe knew this kind of thing in his heart, and Mesaka, who had been watching and listening to all this behind her, also understood it.

"He's really an excellent leader." To be honest, those who belong to Hong, including Joe, in Mesaka's view, are all upright people, or it is more appropriate to call them temperamental people.Whether it's the bloody part or the straightforward personality on weekdays, these strong perceptions even downplay the cunning of those people.It is worldly cunning born out of a desire to survive.

There will be no stupid guy who can live.

Two days later, the construction of the teleportation array was proceeding silently under Hong's deliberate cover-up, and on this day, another uninvited visitor came to the gate of the village.

"Who?!" "Looking for someone? Whom?!"

The man guarding the gate of the village watched the people in the broken carriage warily.A distressed woman is holding a smaller person who is not sure whether it is a child or a woman. The only person who is well-dressed is a woman who is holding a staff and covered by a gray cloak. Even her face is hidden by the shadow of the brim of the hat. clear,

"Sir, I heard that Victoria-Violet is here, can you find out for me?" The woman got out of the carriage and asked the man who was guarding the stockade politely, not at all as if she was facing the common practice of killing people. The bandit looks like he uses words like asking about places with locals he meets occasionally during the journey.

"Uh..." The man was not used to this kind of attitude, but the incident of being broken into the village made him deeply understand the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance, not to mention that the person mentioned was still that name.After calming down the awkward feeling in his heart for a while, the man stroked the back of his head and said, "If you're looking for that legendary Miss Victoria, it's indeed here."

"Really? Thank you very much. Can you take me there to see her now?"

"Then just wait a moment." The woman said Chen Ken, which made the man respond with a good temper.

There are three people guarding the entrance of the stockade. In the past two days, the stockade has been busy with many things. Most of the people have gone to build the teleportation formation. The defense in the village was much more relaxed than usual. The man at the head was talking to Tiya, and someone else ran to call the steward who stayed in the village.

"Are you looking for Miss Victoria?" Liz frowned and looked at the person coming.

"Yes. I'm Tia Violet. Victoria Violet is my sister." From the address of the other party, it can be heard that Lord Victoria gets along well with these robbers here, although not Knowing the reason, Tiya still explained her identity to the other party with the mentality of not wanting to cause trouble.

"It's actually my younger sister...Miss Victoria and the boss went out. Well, are you going to go to the village or go to your sister?" After Tiya revealed her identity, Liz's expression eased a lot, although her eyes still had There is a little scrutiny and vigilance, but it is natural for people who meet for the first time.

"My companion is sick. If it is convenient, can you arrange a place for them to live in first, and then I will go with you to find sister Victoria."

"Huh?" Liz glanced at the people left in the carriage. There was a haggard woman and a person who was hugged by a woman. They were probably the patients Tiya mentioned. "Then you come to the place where Miss Victoria and the others live now."

After talking with Tiya, Liz turned her head and shouted to a half-old child behind her: "Nev! Go and call Grandpa Owen to Miss Saka's residence. There is a patient here."

"Okay! Miss Liz!"

"Miss Saka?" Tiya asked suspiciously. As far as she knew, the woman who had been with Victoria for the past two years was a woman named Tracy.

"Miss Tia doesn't know? Miss Victoria's partner."

Tiya hesitated for a while, and said the words as plainly as possible with slightly trembling lips, "Is she a petite girl with black hair and black eyes?"

"Oh, Miss Saka. It is true that she has black hair and black eyes, but she is about the same size as Miss Victoria. She is quite tall. She bullied us badly when we first came here."

Recalling the scene when the two came here for the first time made Leeds, who was the first to fight with each other, still feel a little unbearable.However, even though she chatted with this woman who claimed to be Miss Victoria's younger sister in a homely tone, Liz still did not let go of her vigilance.

So when Liz introduced Saka, she immediately noticed that the body of the woman next to her was visibly... trembling!

In the eyes of the strange woman, tears overflowed in the blink of an eye.

Tears flowed down my face.

The author has something to say:

The past two days have been very busy and chaotic at home, so I don't have the mood and time to write.

It is said that I have finally written 30 words. Even if I add the old text, it is really lazy to write only 50 words this year....

I haven't finished writing that science fiction article, let's throw a fantasy article today.This is a fan essay based on the world view set by a friend, and it will not be very long.

sea ​​elves

Part[-]

There is death everywhere, but there is no death that makes all the Dawn elves tremble with anger--that time, the vast majority of compatriots approached death step by step due to the infestation of disease, and those who were alive saw it openly and truly. , Staring at the dry eyes that shed tears, the kind, loving, and even disgusting compatriots around me who talked and laughed with me died one after another... It was like a sign of a race. fade away.

The death plague of the gods of the underworld, like a beast that chooses to devour people, enveloped the entire Dawn race.

But in the end, there are still some who survived. No one knows what emotions those Dawn survivors who survived on the verge of death will have left after experiencing the disaster that pervaded all the Dawn, but the imperial capital of the Empire of Tides In the first cemetery built in Central City, there is an epitaph shared by that generation lying quietly: "We would rather die then, but we cannot die then."

At that time...

The War of the End, or the War of Judgment, was the world war between light and darkness led by the gods of the underworld that killed an era.

That cruel era that lasted for 350 years finally ended with the victory of the light forces, but it also ended with the destruction of the Dawn elves.

"Is it her?"

"Sacelia?"

"Uh-huh."

......

The soft fluff of the sea flower curled up under the light touch of Wei's fingertips, someone whispered, the unique hearing of the sea elf caught the crisp voice of the compatriots, and the emerald green eyes rippling like the forest sea looked back with a little laziness. The two younger children looked down at her and whispered to each other.

"Hi." Wei waved her hand and greeted, but she didn't understand how seductive the exquisite and mysterious beauty reflected in her slightly sad appearance just now, after the two children smiled at her slightly shyly and nodded, they waved their hands as if fleeing. Swimming into the distance holding hands, the light clothes made of crocodile silk and the cloak around the waist are softly swaying in the sea water, making the hearts of those who see them feel softer. Wei, who was not doing so well, became a little lighter because of this.

People always want to move forward.

"Delicious." The cool and tender taste of the rainbow shark meat melted in the mouth, and at the same time, it melted away the last bit of depression smoldering in Wei's heart.

The temple with strict education can probably be regarded as a place where few leisurely sea elves are awe-inspiring. It is also a place where young sea elves feel both honored and feared. It's hard for Wei to be proud of being in it, but being able to eat such delicious food gave her the spirit of patience and persistence in the face of those rigorous training.

In fact, all sea elves with petite and soft bodies have an amazing food intake that does not match their appearance. As mammals, sea elves rely on eating a lot of food to provide calories in order to maintain their body temperature in the deep sea. .

The gods refer to the certain degree of cold resistance that sea elves have had since birth, and they call them the sea god's gods.

"Although I am very happy to be praised for the food I cook, but, Miss Saslia, can you be more reserved when eating? You must know that we are the priests of the sea god, and we must protect our words and deeds." The majestic obligation of the Seagod."

"Well--" after swallowing the food in her mouth, Wei let out a long sigh of relief, showing a happy smile and pretending to look sweetly at the administrator of the temple, Miss Liz, "But it's really delicious... ..Miss Leeds, don't you think it's too cruel to control this happy feeling?"

Wei-Saslia, currently the best and most potential priest of the sea god, but her temperament always makes people feel a little helpless--that kind of attitude towards things can no longer be called the meek and leisurely sea elf. "It's not an exaggeration to describe it.

And the accident happened a little later in this leisurely time-a little commotion outside the temple, and the priests and apprentices eating in the temple could not clearly hear the panicked voices coming from the movement, followed by The clergy who hurried in came to Miss Leeds in a panic and whispered in a low voice. Miss Leeds covered her mouth and frowned slightly after being slightly startled.

"Miss Saslia, I would like to ask you to do something?"

Seeing the always enthusiastic Miss Leeds beg her with a sad expression, Wei vaguely guessed what happened.

Foundling.A baby abandoned by the sea god.In the sea elf gathering place, Grande refers to those babies born with extremely low cold resistance.

There are few gods, so it is called the baby abandoned by the sea god, and there are rumors that this baby was a sinner in the previous life.

Not loved by gods, nor loved by people.In a race like sea elves that have difficulty in reproduction, although they are not treated as heretics because of their speeches like human society, many people will subconsciously avoid these abandoned babies.Even in the later life, I will gradually establish my own interpersonal relationship, and there will be people I like and people who like me, but what I receive during the process is, after all, more of an indifferent attitude.

Only this time, that child was more than that.

After the number of gods in the body reaches a certain level, formal temple priests are not allowed to take care of the babies after they are delivered. Risk of freezing to death.Therefore, during the initial period when the abandoned baby came to the world, there were apprentice priests who had initially mastered divine arts to take care of it, until the abandoned baby was able to eat and drink, and could rely on the heat generated by things to resist the cold of the seabed.

Wei has also done this kind of work before, and the time period of this kind of work varies from time to time. Generally, the breast milk of sea elves is enough for these abandoned babies to produce enough heat to resist the cold.

But there are always more tragic things.

The shrunken, uncute little figure approached the moment it touched it, and Wei, who was holding the warm light of the magic spell with her hands, was holding the newborn baby, and when she felt the slight weight, she was dispelling it. When looking at the obvious chill on the baby's body, he squinted his eyes and his nose couldn't help but twitch slightly.

A baby who has no cold resistance at all, if it is not for the constant heat preservation magic in the nursery of the temple, I am afraid that it will die at the moment of birth because it cannot withstand the cold.

"The child's mother is an official sea god priest, and now she is going to the confession room with her body, and the man accompanied her..."

Miss Liz was talking about the situation, the sadness and helplessness in her eyes subsided, and Tong Wei explained: "So, this child needs you to take care of it for a while, and among the trainees, only Miss Saslia's magical skills can do it now." Support this child so that it does not freeze to death."

Some sacrificed for their compatriots, some lived for their compatriots, some grieved for their compatriots, and there were also those who were indifferent to their compatriots from the very beginning...

Wei, who is holding a little baby in her arms, doesn't quite understand what this kind of human nature is.When she was doing this kind of work for the first time, she hadn't thought about these things, and now, she couldn't sort them out clearly.In fact, it’s just her own emotions, and she can’t sort it out very well—some hate children without gods, some sympathize with children without gods, and some think it’s troublesome to take care of babies, but doing this kind of thing , but my heart seems to be melted... Sad, disgusted, inexplicable, all emotions are surging like a stream...

But anyway--

"I need to take care of you during this time." With her fingertips lightly pressed against the baby girl's cheek, Wei said softly.
