The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1375 Shadow Spirit

Lin Tianci has been away from home for so long, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but the level of strange things in front of him makes people feel eyelids hurt...

Her skin is extremely fair, not the healthy milky white, but pale, like a dead body soaked in water for an unknown amount of time.

The skin itself is also dull, as if it is not a living thing, but a high-level undead creature that can speak.

But in fact, Lin Tianci didn't feel any ghost aura from this person, and he could also see the slight fluctuation of her chest when she breathed, which proved that she was a living person.

But compared to these features, the most conspicuous ones are her eyes.

Her upper and lower eyelids are sewed together with thin sutures, and the stitches are densely packed, as if they were sewn with a sewing machine. It can be said that it hurts to look at.

This blind man is too hardcore...

Besides the eyes, Lin Tianci immediately noticed that under the man's hood, there were two slightly protruding parts near the temples, like the pointed ears of an elf.

"Elf? But your physical features are completely out of my records..."

Sai Li also saw the other person's appearance, and immediately reacted:

"You... are you a shadow spirit?"

"Yes, I am a Shadow Spirit, one of the Raven Queen's loyal servants."

Shadow spirits have innate abilities related to shadows. Lin Tianci hides in the shadows of blind spots. Normal people can't see him, but for shadow spirits, it is easier to feel things in shadows than to see things covered by sunlight .

"As expected of the omniscient blue goblin, I thought the existence of our shadow spirits had been completely forgotten."

This may be flattering, but it was a bit embarrassing for Celie, because the Shadow Spirit had heard about it from Mogu, his deadly enemy, known as the all-seeing eye.

She would know that Celie is not surprised. The blue goblin's reputation is not small. After all, it existed before the development of the ancient elves, but generally no one knows that the blue goblin is the boss behind the White Hands Association.

Moreover, the man who sewed his eyes up was not a pure masochist.

It has been said many times that although eyes are the main means for mortals to observe the world, they are also the most unreliable. She sewed her eyes up, probably because she wanted to give up vision in exchange for other abilities.

This is uncommon, but not uncommon, especially among clerics of deities.

So even without eyes, she could still find out that Lin Tianci was not a resident of this plane, and she could even 'see' Celie far away on the clock tower of the Fairy Kingdom through the magic communication.

After a brief chat, Yingling continued:

"I raided here last night. Some guys with the breath of the abyss wanted to open the portal to the plane of the undead. They dared to do such a thing near the sacred forest of the Raven Queen. As punishment, their souls would surely fall There will never be reincarnation in the shadow plane."

This... is really ruthless.

The Raven Queen is an extremely mysterious deity whose existence is almost questionable, but obviously, she is not a soft-hearted guy.

People with the breath of the abyss should be devil worshipers. After they die, there is a high probability that they will fall into the endless abyss according to the contract with the devil, and eventually become a devil.

But according to this shadow spirit, she should have sent the souls of the killed demon worshipers to the shadow plane, where they will be tortured by the erosion of shadow power forever.

Don't think that people's death is like a lamp going out. There are plenty of ways in the wizarding world to make people die uneasy.

But to be reasonable, every devil worshiper counts as one, and Ling Chi is not wronged, so there is no need to sympathize with this villain.

"You probably came here to investigate when you sensed that there was a problem here."

Lin Tianci saluted as a greeting:
"Almost, but I'm late."

"The Raven Queen will not refuse kind help, and neither will I."

This sentence can be regarded as showing her attitude, and then said:
"I can sense that you have a lot of questions?"

She has some kind of special sentience, and it's no surprise that she's aware of it.

Lin Tianci did have a lot of questions, he hesitated and asked:

"Excuse me, are you doing this to prevent Farah from being hurt?"

According to the results of discussions with Sai Li, this ghost living in the Crow Forest is most likely to be Farah's real mother.

"Fala..."

The Shadow Spirit didn't answer immediately, and murmured Farah's name softly with a little hesitation.

Sai Li was careful, much more sensitive than Lin Tianci, she immediately interjected:

"Fala is your name too, right?"

Farah's own father, that is, the Duke misses his lover too much, so he named his daughter after his lover to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

It's just for the person concerned, the feeling in his heart when he heard this...

Then only you know.

"That was 20 years ago, and I was too young..."

For elves, 20 years ago seems like not long ago, after all, the average lifespan of elves is 500 years.

But the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. Neither Lin Tianci nor Sai Li knew that although the shadow spirits are also a subspecies of elves, because they have lived in the shadow plane for a long time, even with the protection of the Queen of Ravens, it is impossible for them to be completely immune to it. Injury, life expectancy is also greatly shortened.

The lifespan of a shadow spirit is actually almost the same as that of a human being, at most it can live a few years longer than a human being, and 20 years is also very long for her.

She might have wanted to talk about it, but at this point, she suddenly shook her head again:

"That's a ridiculous story."

Sai Li must have picked up a pen and paper and started to record, but she swallowed the beginning of what she said, which is too frightening.

But even if you don't say it clearly, you can roughly guess it.

The young duke who went hunting in the forest happened to meet the shadow priest stationed in the forest when he got lost, and the two fell in love quickly. Perhaps betraying her belief in the Raven Queen, she could not give up her mission of guarding the Raven Forest.

In the end, the two had to separate.

Although the story is very old-fashioned, it is roughly like this when pieced together from scattered clues.

Sighing deeply, Yingling chose to skip this article:
"When the child appeared in the forest, I recognized it at a glance. Forgive me for warning you in such a harsh tone. Since then, the Raven Queen has not allowed me to see outsiders."

The 'since then' she said was probably after falling in love with the Duke.

Except for sea elves, almost all elves have serious discrimination and hostility towards half-elves, even surpassing the rejection of other races. Half-elves born to elves and other races (mostly humans) will even He was killed by his own people when he was young.

And for shadow spirits whose whereabouts are a mystery and whose existence is hidden, the birth of a half-elf is even more unacceptable.

She would tell Lin Tianci directly because this is the altar of Wejas, the goddess of magic and death. The Raven Queen cannot interfere or observe here. If Lin Tianci meets Lin Tianci in the Crow Forest, she will definitely not say a word Turning around and leaving will not explain so much at all.

"Your eyes... did you pay for Farah's survival?"

Shadow Spirit touched the sutures on his eyelids, and nodded slightly to confirm Sally's question.

"I pray to the Raven Queen to eliminate all the elf characteristics in Farah, and hope that she can live a good life as a human being. As a price, I make an oath to guard the Raven Forest forever, and exchange this oath with my eyes."

I feel that this crow queen is too unkind. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than one marriage. It seems that the crow queen is probably a leftover woman without love, otherwise she would not be so cruel.

These messy blasphemous thoughts were spinning in Lin Tianci's mind, while the Shadow Priest continued:

"Let's stop here for these old things. As a plane traveler, I am very grateful that you are willing to protect Farah, but what is your purpose for coming to the Heart of Mantra? Knowledge? Or money?"

Regarding the extremely blue star and the monks, I can't say too much in detail, even if this shadow spirit is very friendly, because Celie knows too little about them, Lin Tianci is somewhat worried.

"Just traveling so far."

"The crest on that child is from Thors Institute of Magical Technology... I understand, you should have signed a magic contract."

Losing both eyes allowed Shadow Spirit to obtain other means of observation, and he could still see traces of signing a magic contract.

"Anyway, please accept my thanks, I am not allowed to see Farah."

Not being able to even meet her own flesh and blood, the Crow Queen was indeed too cold-blooded and ruthless.

"But I'm also wondering why vampires would target you."

The Crow Forest is equivalent to one of the holy places of the Crow Queen. As the priest stationed here, the shadow spirit can grasp the movement of the main forest through the Crow Queen. There are vampires haunting, and even who they are coming to know at a glance.

"There are still some things that haven't been clarified about this matter..."

It is true that they did not find out, and now the suspicion is only locked on Amy, and Nora, who is too mysterious to find out the details, has not been ruled out.

"Recently there have also been demon worshipers and cultists, and things have become more complicated."

This matter has nothing to do with Farah and the others. It should be the problem of the devil's daughter named Elyse that Qi Jiarui was looking at.

"The Raven Queen ordered me to clean up all the evil creatures that entered the forest. When necessary, I will provide some help."

After saying this, Ying Ling turned around and wanted to leave.

She ran to Wejas' altar because there were demon worshipers trying to open the portal to the undead plane too close to the crow forest, and came to clear their orders belonging to the crow queen.

I happened to meet Lin Tianci this time, and I also considered that there might be more devil worshipers coming here, so I came to check to be sure.

But after all, this is the altar of Vejas, not the Raven Queen's. She can't stay here for a long time, and if the time is too long, it is easy for the Raven Queen to feel distrust of her.

God, this thing sounds troublesome...

Seeing that he was about to step into the hidden secret passage, Yingling stopped in his tracks:
"Sorry, I can't tell you my name, and I can't know yours, but I don't want Farah to be hurt, and I hope you can pay more attention."

Names are powerful and significant. If the Shadow Spirit tells Lin Tianci his name, or knows Lin Tianci's name, the Raven Queen will know who her priest has seen, so from beginning to end, the Shadow Spirit always He didn't intend to introduce himself, nor did he intend to ask Lin Tianci and Sai Li what their names were.

Yingling's special senses let her know that Lin Tianci is not that kind of villain, and at the same time, she also knows that he has a magic contract to protect Farah, which is enough.

Lin Tianci clasped his fists in salute and said:

"I will do my best."

As for the scene, you won't lose a piece of meat if you talk about it.

After getting this answer, Ying Ling left behind an inexplicable thank you, and then his whole body melted into the darkness that the Dancing Light Technique could not penetrate, and disappeared like a wisp of green smoke...
