Alien world

Chapter 1162 84. End
Prince Aidan's head dropped.

This young prince, whom Annan had known for a short time but had left a deep impression on him, was now lying quietly on the green grass at the foot of the World Tree. His long golden hair, which had once been as bright as the sun, had now become gray and dry, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and endless hardships, which at this moment had stripped him of all his glory.

The elves around gradually gathered together, bypassing Prince Aidan and surrounding Annan, who made them feel at home, and the sleeping Taidel.

Not long after, the elves in front of him scattered as if disturbed, revealing a magic gate that was condensing.

The magic door was not very stable, flickering and difficult to take shape. Annan bent down and picked up the Eye of Rudolph before it became stable.

The third prince of the kingdom appeared behind the magic door, and then he saw the grassland, the world tree, and... his brother's body.

"Aidan..."

The third prince, who was trying to remain calm, could not help but be moved and showed his sadness.

"I'm sorry. I tried my best."

"It doesn't matter. I've been prepared... Even if he comes back, the elves won't let him live..."

He took one last look at his brother and turned to Annan: "Mr. Annan Reeves, can I ask you for something on behalf of the royal family?"

"Please say."

"Return Aidan's body to us."

"Is there a way for the Kingdom to revive him?"

"It's just a return to one's roots..." The third prince shook his head, "If he stays with the elves, he will only become a tool for them to blame the kingdom."

After careful consideration, Annan picked up Aidan's body and walked to the magic door.

"Thanks……"

Looking at the face and gray hair that looked like his own, the Third Prince could not hide his sadness. After a long while of calming down, his eyes fell on the Eye of Rudolf.

"I know this is unseemly, but the Eye of Rudolph is an important artifact of the kingdom. If you are willing to return it, the entire kingdom will be grateful to you."

Annan had no interest in the Eye of Rudolf. He didn't want to become like Aidan: "I can't give it back to you for the time being. The souls of the son of demigod and my friend are still in it."

The third prince bowed gently and said, "Of course, then let's do it in a few days. I also have some gifts I want to give you. Just don't let the elves take it away."

"I'll try my best."

The magic door disappeared, blocking out the third prince's sigh.

"Aidan...you are wrong..."

"That's not what you thought before."

Another voice echoed in the room.

The flamboyant short boots walked out of the shadows, stood beside Prince Aidan's body, and commented: "It's pitiful that a hero has become a dead person..."

"Because he is becoming increasingly difficult to control." The Third Prince turned around and asked, "What did you say to him that actually made him give up that crazy plan?"

"It wasn't me who made him give up."

"Who is that? Are you talking about...Annan?" The third prince was stunned.

"Ah."

"How long have they known each other?"

“Friendship is like some fine wines; it doesn’t take time to mature.”

"But the Eye of Rudolph is still in his hands, and I am worried."

"He will return it," said the bard.

"Do you know him?" The third prince noticed something.

"Years ago, when he was still tied up in some little trouble. He was a talented boy, and he taught me a piece of music. Would you like to hear it?"

"Not in the mood."

"Annan Reeves is your new target?"

"No... he won't agree with us." "Okay."

In addition to sadness, the third prince also felt helpless and irritable.

Aidan was dead, but the trouble he left behind remained. He had to get his brother's body to the palace as soon as possible.

……

Tidel slowly woke up.

My senses gradually returned, and there was soft grass beneath me. My vision gradually became clear, and Annan's face was within reach.

She heard from the elders in the tribe that when the soul of the elf returns to the world tree, it will meet the thing that it cares about most in its heart.

I...care most about...Annan?
"Are you awake? It is now the year 1077 of the Saint Laurent calendar. We have failed. The war has spread to the entire Wilhelm. The whole world is in danger. The world needs you, the savior, Tedel."

"Is it over?" Teddel's eyes swept around.

"I think so."

"Where is the body of the human prince?"

"The kingdom wants me to go. I think they will say it's all a misunderstanding next."

“You shouldn’t give it back to them…”

Taidel's eyes suddenly froze on the Eye of Rudolf in Annan's hand.

Annan didn't notice and continued speaking: "The Third Prince is right. The elves holding Aidan's body will only make the situation worse."

"You killed Annan!?" Taidel whispered coldly.

Annan looked at her in confusion, "No...Aidan didn't hit you on the head, so why did you become stupid?"

Tidel was stunned for a moment, then gradually felt relieved...the human prince would not say such a thing.

Finding out that it was a misunderstanding caused by the Eye of Rudolph, Annan explained: "This is my trophy. The souls of Irilanze and Lord Emerald's children are inside."

Taidel asked what happened after she fell into a coma, and Annan briefly recounted it.

"He paid such a huge price, but stopped just before success?" Teddel was puzzled.

"I don't know either." Annan was also full of questions.

He didn't know why Prince Aidan initially acted like he was willing to accept any sacrifice to achieve his goal, but gave up without a clear purpose in the end.

But he had so many problems that a few more didn't seem to matter - for example, they had been chasing for so long, but the high elves still hadn't caught up.

"Maybe there is a rule that 'no elves are allowed to approach the World Tree,' so the group of high elves outside dare not break in even though they know there are enemies in the forbidden area." Annan said with mockery.

Annan was half right.

He and Tiddle walked across the grass, and the outer forest gradually appeared on the horizon.

Two groups of elves are facing each other in the forest.

One group was the Skeleton King and his men and the Dark Night who had come, and the other group was, as expected, the High Elves.

"The attackers have been eliminated, and the soul of Lord Hisui's child has been rescued." Tidel walked up to them.

"Teddel, as an elder chosen by God, you actually dared to break the rules and bring outsiders into the forbidden area..." the high elf elder accused.

Taidel seemed to be influenced by Aidan and said firmly, "How about letting the attackers destroy the World Tree while you are standing outside and watching because of the rules?"

"Before you prepare your accusation against me, you'd better check the forbidden area carefully to see if the attackers left anything at the foot of the World Tree."

After she finished speaking, she saw Annan secretly giving her a thumbs up and revealing a charming smile.

The high elves didn't take anyone away in the end. The complexity of this incident was enough for them to argue about it for several months.

Annan stretched lazily after returning to the Skeleton King. He had been busy for several days and it was time for him to take a break.

But before that...
