My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1201 1199. Every wisp of morning mist in the forest seems to announce that the King of Adel has returned!
When Princess Sierra crossed the dangerous battlefield under the protection of her fiancé His Royal Highness Ivirios and a group of "elf-loving" players and came to the underground secret room of the palace with an undying fighting spirit, the dangerous and exciting "soul-body separation" and "soul-cutting" operations performed by the leader Ms. Ivette were successfully completed.

Old Edward and Lord Yvette, who had obtained what they desired, obviously had their own grievances to "discuss" with Ms. Perona, so they did not stay.

They left quietly and very politely followed the last request of King Quirion and Queen Ilenia, leaving this "model couple" with a complicated relationship in this secret room to spend the last part of their long lives, which totaled more than 6,000 years.

"Father, mother!"

The princess, who was fully armed but dressed quite "wild" because she was a druid, screamed in fear when she saw her parents in front of her. She almost pounced on them but was hugged by Prince Ivirios who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

The Elf King was in a really bad condition at this time. The Chaos infection left over from days of fighting had shown an irreversible outbreak, and Queen Ilenia was bleeding all over the ground.

The two most honorable elf leaders completely ignored each other's injuries at this time, hugged each other with a calm expression, and enjoyed the last peaceful moments.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that these two people had reached the end of their lives.

"My child, you are here, don't cry, come here."

King Quirion called out, and Prince Ivirios immediately came forward, supporting his fiancée who had sensed the tragedy that was about to happen.

The players who had the elf template were in a commotion. They gathered around to witness this important moment but secretly opened the adventure assistant to take pictures of the last scene of the main quest of the Elf Kingdom.

Speaking of which, although the main storyline in which the players participated did not have many scenes, it enabled them to confirm the dual identity of Queen Ilenia. If it were not for the players' efforts, it would be hard to say how this matter would have ended.

Considering the series of characteristics shown by the mystic scholar Perona, who prefers to hide and has very explosive values, if she had not been exposed in advance, this guy might have been able to rely on Ilenia's disguise to trick the activation key from King Quirion and create a new group copy for the 3.0 version of "Real Another World".

However, tragically, when that guy was manipulating Elenia across the battlefield, he saw the fight between Tris and Luna, and he was so "unworthy" that he shot an arrow at the critical moment, almost causing Murphy to "lose his wife". This behavior has destined that the petty Murphy will never let her go.

Of course, what's even more tragic is that even if she hadn't shot that arrow, given what she had done in the past thousand years, many people would not let her go.

"Father, mother, you need treatment!"

Princess Shilagui knelt in front of her parents, crying. As a druid, she called on the healing power of the Oakfather in her hands and begged:
"Please let me treat you."

"No need, child."

The Queen in the Elf King's arms said in a weak but kind tone:

"My injuries cannot be healed by the health of my body. I borrowed a thousand years from the god of death to accompany your father, and you appeared in my life. This is already a blessing and grace from fate.

Now I am just paying the price for that stolen happiness, and I have already prepared myself mentally.

For the past thousand years, every day when I opened my eyes, I was terrified of how much I would pay for that wrong prayer. As the days went by, I saw the debt I carried growing day by day. The growing mental pressure alone was enough to make me feel like a prisoner waiting to die.

This was a merciful ending for me, as it allowed me to end before my heart was broken and retain the last bit of my dignity.

My child, you do not have to be too sad. Although elves are long-lived, they are not immortal. Your father and I are already in the twilight of an elf's life. Even if nothing happened today, we would still leave you in a hundred years at most.

But you have grown up, my daughter.

Your father and I have watched with pride as you mature day by day. With your sincerity and talent, you have won the recognition and following of your compatriots. We have confirmed that you will become an outstanding leader and lead our people to survive in this chaotic and dangerous era and move towards new prosperity.

And you, Evie."

Queen Ilenia looked at her son-in-law, who was also her nephew, and whispered:

"Ever since your uncle handed over the ruling of the sea elves to you, the reputation of the Amastasha fleet has spread far and wide in the Misty Sea. The cities under your rule are prosperous and stable, which has proven your perfect leadership ability.

What’s more important is that you never lack courage and determination, and you have the guts to fight to the death between life and death.

You remind me of a young Quirion.
So too, in that age of disaster now long gone and forgotten, he defended our people.

But you have to remember!
You are not only the leader of the elves, but also the husband and family that Xilagui can rely on. I...I will not allow you to let my daughter get hurt. You must take good care of her."

"I swear!"

His Highness Ivirios knew that this was the Queen's instructions for her affairs after her death. He knelt solemnly on the ground and made a solemn promise. The next moment, the blood-stained Moon Hunter Blade was tremblingly handed to him by the Elf King.

Quirion looked at his son-in-law and said:

"This knife, like the Adel Star War Bow in Philosir's hand, was already in my possession when we left our homeland. Perhaps in the ancient past, it also represented the prosperity and royal power of our home planet.

I give it to you, Evie.

When you walk out of this door, you will no longer be the prince of the sea elves, but the second Elf King of the Kingdom of Castilla!
You will become the leader and protector of all elves, you will become the blesser and pioneer of Avalon, you will become the defender and ruler of this forest.

This is a terrible and heavy responsibility. I am no longer able to bear it all. I have completed my journey. In the next era, you will take over this responsibility and watch over your people diligently every day and night, and do your utmost to ensure that the disaster of Adel will not happen again in this world.

Ivy, please pledge allegiance to the order represented by Mr. Murphy on my behalf, and do the most regrettable thing in my life."

The Elf King coughed and said with his last bit of strength:
"Under the guidance of Lady Rose, the Shadow Elves let the lost wanderers return home to help their fellow countrymen who are deeply trapped in corruption and rescue them from the shadow of the abyss. This is your test to become king."

"I will do my best, Your Majesty."

Ivirios was still very young, and he didn't quite know what had happened to the Shadow Elves, but when he heard the Elf King's final request, he knew that what happened back then was not simple.

Perhaps seeing Ivy and Sierra's doubts, Queen Ilenia handed him a blood-stained crystal and said:

“Take it back, but only the two of you are allowed to read it alone. It records what just happened here. You can choose to announce it to the world, or you can slowly reveal the truth of the past to the people at the appropriate time.

But remember, dusk is the great enemy of the elves!

You must not slack off in the slightest before that organization is defeated."

"Go."

King Quirion's mouth was bleeding. He waved his hands and said:
"Go back to the world of the living and comfort the frightened people. Leave your mother and I here. Let us spend our last moments with each other."

"Father, no. Let me stay here."

Xilagui was crying uncontrollably. She stretched out her hand to hold her parents' hands but was carried away by Ivirios. The perceptive prince noticed that the atmosphere between the king and the queen was not right. They must have said something at the end of their lives that could not be known by outsiders.

The princess's cries echoed in the passage leading out of the secret room, making the players feel sympathetic.

Although the contact time was not long, this princess who was very decisive at the critical moment left a very good impression on them. The players were able to get the opportunity to enter the Great Moon Temple to find out the truth thanks to Her Highness Xilaguo. In the main storyline of the Elf Kingdom, this princess is an absolute core figure.

However, when the players turned to leave the secret room, King Quirion stopped them.

"Warriors"

"Ok?"

The leader of the elf-loving Lumina stopped and looked back at the king. The dying Quirion threw a key to them and said with a cough:
“This is the key to the royal treasury. The treasures stored inside are at your disposal. Please forgive me for not being able to stand up and thank you for your hard work for the Kingdom of Castile in this incident.

I hope to sign a contract with you. When the Kingdom of Castilla is in danger in the future, you will be able to come to support and assist like you do today. For this, I will grant you the identity and title of "Fangye Shadow Guard".

I beg you!
I pray that you will watch over this forest and its people as you have watched over Transia."

"We do, Your Majesty."

Lumina and the other players exchanged glances, then she picked up the key and responded sincerely:
"We swear on our respective honors that when the Elven Kingdom needs us, we and our compatriots will rush to help as soon as possible. If Princess Xilagui and His Highness Ivirios have any requests, we will also respond!"

"good very good!"

The Elf King smiled and gestured for the players to close the door when they left.

The players did as they were told, and after closing the door, the group happily ran to claim the reward with the keys. Their emotions, like their happiness, were always fleeting, but they did not feel sorry for it, because it was also part of the journey. The tearful farewells and the unexpected reunions always warmed people's hearts again and again, and as long as the players did not stop moving forward, they could always move towards a never-ending future in this beautiful mood.

However, in the enclosed tree house space at this moment, after everyone else left, King Quirion's expression became silent.

He looked at the queen who was pretending to be asleep in his arms, coughed and said:
"Don't you think you should explain something, Elenia?"

"We are all dying, my soul is breaking and dissipating, Quirion, please, don't say these unhappy things anymore."

The queen, who had always been virtuous and kind, lost her temper for once in her life. She closed her eyes and said:
"I admit that I took advantage of your amnesia to do some not-so-decent things, but you also heard what Perona said. We were together before you lost your memory. I had to handle official business for you as your secretary during the day, and I had to drag my tired body to warm your bed at night."

"But I had forgotten all that."

King Quirion sighed and said:
"My home planet Adel, the past that must be remembered, and my wife who has been completely forgotten. I have even forgotten her name. In the past thousand years, I have poured all my feelings into you."

"Avrilion."

Queen Ilena said in a hoarse voice:
"Your former wife was called Afreelian, the Silver Moon of Adel, the only elven queen and the most powerful person on the home planet. When the mass extinction occurred, she chose to stay on the home planet that was about to collapse to fight against the disaster army of the mass extinction, and at the same time accompany her hometown to the end.

And when we boarded the immigration ship, Queen Avrilian asked me to take good care of you.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Quirion, I didn't lie to you. I should indeed be your second wife, just because you can't forget the person you once had. But I can't even be jealous of Queen Avrilian, because it was her sacrifice that gave us the chance to escape.

You know, during the catastrophe that destroyed the Eden Zone a thousand years ago, when I was crushed by the collapsed pillars and was dying, I was still feeling guilty for not being able to fulfill Queen Avrilian's instructions.

That’s when Perona appeared beside me.

That's a cunning guy.

She was the leader of a secret conspiracy group on our home planet. I still remember that she was very panicked. She knew that it was her department that caused the disaster, so she was afraid of being liquidated. I offered her a deal at that time.

I'm not afraid of death! No elves who have experienced the mass extinction are afraid of death.

I just don't want to see you going through a hard time alone. That was the mistake I made. I stole a thousand years from fate, and the price was that all the tragedies that happened in this forest after that were related to me.

You have every reason to hate me, Quirion.

But I don’t regret it.”

"Now that things have come to this, how can I hate you?"

The Elf King leaned against the altar and used his last bit of strength to hold onto his wife. He bent down and gently kissed Queen Irenia’s forehead, whose face had turned pale due to the dissipation of her soul. He said:

"I have forgotten those tragedies. You have given me warmth and companionship in the last thousand years of my life. I should have protected you but I failed to discover your hidden vulnerability, leaving you to fight that madman alone for a thousand years.

I know that without your restraint, Perona will do more crazy things.

The reason why she was so foolish to tell all her evil deeds just now was because you were secretly pushing her.

I know that you hope to seek my forgiveness in this way. If we can still survive, I might punish you and exile you, but unfortunately, we don't have time.

My love
I will walk with you on the road to death, Elenia? Can you hear me? "

No one responded.

The queen stopped breathing with a smile just now.

A broken soul was not enough to support her to listen to her husband's last words, but this intelligent woman seemed to have guessed her husband's final forgiveness and companionship.

She stole a thousand years from fate, and now she had obtained what she desired and was able to leave this world in satisfaction.

Unfortunately, Elenia didn't know that just because Quirion forgave her didn't mean that others had forgiven her.

"Ah, what a beautiful story, and what a sad ending."

As the cold wind of death blew from the invisible land, the voice of a vampire echoed in this sealed place.

In the gathering of death energy, the projection of the Lord of Decay appeared before King Quirion. Perhaps it was an illusion of near death, which made him vaguely see the projection of a world of death behind Murphy.

"Like it?"

Murphy in the projection was wearing an elf robe representing mourning, pointing behind him and saying:
"I tried my best to piece together the image of 'Fortress of Leaves', the most prosperous capital on the planet Adel, from the memories of the dead, and used it as what Adel, the underworld, will become in the future. Unfortunately, the elves' underworld system is not complete.

This forest calls for a Hades to stand on the other side of the living, observing and watching over the prosperous world.

When the living do something irreparable, the dead will step forward and teach them a lesson.

However, I only have one position reserved for the Elf Pluto, but I have two sinful souls in front of me. So, King Quirion, this is our first meeting and also our last meeting. Please give me some advice.

Should I choose a Pale King to sit in Adel, or should I appoint a Withered Queen to atone for my sins?"

"Let me do it."

The Elf King hugged his wife and whispered:

"Ilenia has passed away in her sweet dream. Please, please don't disturb her anymore."

"Haha, this is your own choice, Your Majesty."

Murphy said:
"You may not yet understand the responsibility you have chosen to bear, but the oath to Hades has been made and cannot be changed. So go to Adel Hades and become the Pale King of the Withered under the Tree of the Dead.

Carrying the terrible sin of your wife, you will watch over the world of Castilla and Order alone until the end of the universe.

Go ahead.

Quirion, bid farewell to the world of the living and embark on a path from which there is no return. "

At the call of Hades and the Lord of Decay, King Quirion's soul left his dying body. The spirit finally leaned over and left a kiss of death on his wife's forehead, then walked past Murphy, who had his hands behind his back, and stepped onto the road to the underworld of Adel.

It was like crossing an invisible boundary and bidding farewell to the world of the living once and for all.

However, before King Quillion could react, a scream sounded behind him:
"No! Quirion, why are you here?"

That was Ilenia's scream.

The king turned around suddenly and saw his wife, who had gone ahead, standing there with an angry face. She shouted:
"It's not like this! It shouldn't be like this! I clearly promised the Lord of Withering that I would bear my sins and watch over the Castilla Peninsula forever in exchange for your rest in peace. No! The Lord of Withering deceived me! That damn vampire deceived me!"

King Quirion understood after a brief moment of shock.

Murphy played a joke on them.

They say there is only one position so only one person can bear the responsibility of eternal watch, but there are twelve ancient kings in the Sanghai Underworld.
The queen rolled up her sleeves angrily and prepared to seek an explanation from the Lord of Withering, but the next moment she was embraced by her husband.

The two undead souls, whose combined age was over 6,000 years old, kissed each other shamelessly on the road to the Hades of Adel. After a long time, Quirion took his wife's arm and looked in the direction they came from. He looked at the reflection of the human world, then turned around and stepped onto the road to the Hades of Adel, and whispered:

"That lord was playing a joke on us. He just wanted to make sure we were willing to take on the terrible duty for each other, and I guess he was satisfied. But no matter what, we don't have to embark on the journey to the world of the dead alone.

thank him.

Praise the Lord of Withering"
