Chapter 313 The Catastrophe of the Elves
Curiosity killed the cat. After Catherine dug out the essence of his golden jade, she never left him. She was often infected by his smile and became happy, and was often attacked by his melancholy. sullen.

Therefore, at this moment, she couldn't just watch Cheng Cheng get hurt, that would be tantamount to gouging out the flesh in her heart.

"Catherine, I can forgive you for making mistakes once, because everyone makes mistakes. But you make mistakes again and again, how can I forgive you? How can I entrust the fate of all the elves to you hand?" Si Lingyun's face suddenly became ugly, and she was very disappointed with Catherine.

"Queen, I know that you are doing it for my own good, and I also know that my fate does not belong to me when I am born. It is fine to let me follow your arrangement from now on, but you must let Cheng Cheng go. I will never live alone." The matter has developed to this point, and Catherine can only make a decision to die together. She will never let Chengcheng get hurt, either die with Chengcheng, or see He left Qianhu Island without incident, and never saw each other again.

Si Lingyun was stunned for a moment, she knew that Catherine was stubborn, she would definitely do what she said, and such a decision made it difficult for her to make a decision.Catherine, as the saint of the elves, is the successor of the future queen, so nothing can happen to her, and this is clearly a threat from Chi Luoluo.

"Pharaoh is coming!"

Just when Si Lingyun was helpless and didn't know what to do, a clear voice solved her dilemma.Then, I saw an old man in a dazzling white robe, with two huge white wings flapping gently on his back, staying not far from Si Lingyun.

"Pharaoh, you came at the right time. Catherine is really outrageous. You should come and judge." Si Lingyun didn't say anything, and she didn't mention Catherine's pleading for death for an insidious human being. How angry.He came to Pharaoh and told his grievances.

It can be seen at a glance that the queen is very respectful to the pharaoh, and the pharaoh is the only one who can make the queen of the elves speak so head-on.The pharaoh's status in the elves is a sacred existence. Generally, he does not participate in the affairs of the race and devotes himself to cultivation, but his status is always insurmountable. From the queen's attitude towards him, we can know a thing or two .

The pharaoh looked very kind. He was very old, but he was also very clean. He was wearing white robes and there was no burr on his face. He smiled and said to Catherine who was kneeling on the ground: "My child, what problem can you tell me?" Do you listen?"

"Dear Pharaoh, Catherine didn't abide by the family's precepts and fell in love with humans. But Catherine really likes him, even if she wants to trade my life for his, Catherine has no regrets. I beg Pharaoh to let him live, and Catherine will try her best to forget everything in the past and stay on Qianhu Island with peace of mind." Catherine, who was kneeling on the ground, said very piously.

Pharaoh just listened to these few words and understood the cause and effect, and then he turned his attention to Cheng Cheng. He didn't have the coldness and determination like Si Lingyun, but was still so gentle and amiable.

Cheng Cheng didn't give in at all, nor did he lower his head, and looked at the pharaoh in the air.However, an invisible pressure made him feel very strenuous, and the other party's eyes seemed to see his heart, which was a very strange feeling.

He didn't do anything wrong and was not afraid of being called by ghosts. He knew that Pharaoh would have magical mind reading skills, just like Yinyin's little girl, but Cheng Cheng still didn't dodge and accepted it calmly.His heart for Catherine is more true than pearls, and it can stand any test.

When Cheng Cheng felt the pressure on his body disappear, the pharaoh in the air also showed a more peaceful smile, nodded and said, "My child, you are lucky, and you also fell in love with someone worthy of love. People and things in the world have two sides. , there are good and bad, war is bad, but how can we defend our homeland without war? Human beings are cunning and kind, and they can take risks to follow to Qianhu Island. I also believe that your feelings are true. However, You shoulder a heavy responsibility, you are a shackle, you are an unchangeable destiny, you shouldn't have such feelings, you know my child?"

"I know Pharaoh, as long as I can let Chengcheng leave Qianhu Island, I will try my best to forget the past and complete my mission with my whole life." Catherine said in a calm tone. I can only hide in a corner and bear it silently.

"Catherine, what are you talking about? Do you know what you are doing? This is called selfishness. You can forget the past, but have you ever thought about whether I can forget it?" Lifting Catherine who was kneeling on the ground , Cheng Cheng roared hoarsely, extremely angry at Catherine's attitude.

"I've said it a long time ago. This is my destiny, an unchangeable destiny." Looking at the furious Chengcheng, Catherine shed cowardly tears again. It was impossible for her to forget Chengcheng. It was as if it had been branded into her heart.But she had to force herself to do so, and the torment she suffered would naturally be no less than that of Cheng Cheng.

"What shit fate? Can you tell me, what is fate? It's just a bitch who bullies the weak. The strong control their own fate. As long as you tell me, can I help you break this fate?" Never Having believed in fate, Cheng Sheng scoffed at it.

"Young man, let me tell you the fate of Catherine. The elves have been multiplying for generations, but they have never been prosperous. When the population was the largest, it was around [-]. Now it is not as good as every year. This year, the elves The whole family together has a population of just over two years." As he spoke, Pharaoh couldn't help sighing, as if he had lost his temper due to this fate.

"The number of elves has anything to do with whether Catherine wants to stay in the elves?" Frowning, Cheng Cheng asked puzzledly, he still had a good feeling for this pharaoh, so his tone was moderate and peaceful.

"Maybe you don't know how the elves reproduce. The purest elves are naturally grown from the mother tree. After the combination of the elves, the blood of the children born will be impure, and the sensitivity to nature will also be reduced." It will be greatly reduced, and the lifespan will be greatly shortened, and they will have to rely on the water of life to keep them in the blood of the elves." Pharaoh said leisurely, his face gradually becoming serious.

"Mother tree?" Cheng Cheng was also stunned by this news. He didn't expect that pure elves were born not from mating, but from some kind of mother tree. It felt unbelievable.

"That's right." Pharaoh nodded, turned around and pointed to the giant tree behind him, and then said: "It is the mother tree, the mother of the elves, and it carries the elves' prosperity."

Looking at the giant tree, Cheng Cheng seemed to understand something. No wonder the elves lived in seclusion here in a quiet corner. It turned out that they wanted to protect this mother tree, which was also their common mother.However, what does this have to do with whether Catherine stays or not?

As if he had seen through Cheng Cheng's thoughts, the Pharaoh continued: "Only the elves born from the mother tree are the purest elves, and among these elves, only one elf who fully inherits the blood of the sacred tree can be born out of a thousand people. It is the saint. Once the saint is born, she bears the task of revitalizing the entire ethnic group, which is an unchangeable destiny and a shackle."

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng finally understood that Catherine was born from the mother tree, and she is also a saint with the purest blood, so she can only live for the elves in her life, and still said unwillingly: "Is it only Catherine? Does one person have the blood of the sacred tree? There are so many elves, are there no other saints?"

"No, it is impossible for two saints to appear at the same time." Pharaoh shook his head helplessly. If not, he would not say that this is an unbreakable fate.

"He is the queen, isn't he also the saint of the elves?" Cheng Cheng suddenly remembered something, pointing to Si Lingyun next to the pharaoh, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

Si Lingyun seemed to have been poked into some sore spot, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she gritted her teeth at Cheng Cheng, looking like she wanted to tear him apart.

"As a saint, you must supply the purest blood to the mother tree to supplement the nutrition of the mother tree. After reaching a certain age, the blood of the saint will gradually become mixed, and the sacred tree will naturally give birth to other saints to take over, forming a natural cycle. the process of."

Cheng Cheng was speechless. It seems that this is really a kind of fate. For the normal reproduction of the elves, Catherine will definitely give up her ego and complete her big ego to continue her own mission and support the mother tree with her own efforts.

"Is there no other way?" Extremely desperate, do you want to give up Catherine and let her just wait for this emotionless mother tree all her life?Cheng Sheng found that he couldn't do it, so he asked unwillingly.

"Have!"

Unexpectedly, Pharaoh gave him a ray of hope all of a sudden, and couldn't help showing excitement on his face, and asked, "What can I do?"

"The mother tree is the sacred tree that the elves depend on for survival. With it, the elves can continue to multiply. In recent years, the mother tree is approaching aging. In the past, it could naturally give birth to fifty elves a year at most, but now it can give birth to at most Twenty, or even few, and the water of life produced every year is getting less and less, this is a catastrophe for the elves." The voice was also a little frightening, and the pharaoh couldn't imagine what would happen to the elves after losing their mother tree In a certain scene, the entire elves will be faced with the demise.
