I Live Forever in Memory

"Okay then..." She nodded sullenly, knowing that since the two of them disagreed, she must have no way to follow.So she settled down, and the two of them officially set off, heading towards the castle in the center of the forest.

Chapter 051: The Temple

In this faction mission, the opposing parties are both elves, but they belong to different branches.Forest elves and dark elves, this floor is where the headquarters of the forest elves are located, and the headquarters of the dark elves is located on the ninth floor.

After accepting the task on the third floor, Li Lin hadn't figured out what the ultimate goal of the two parties was. He tried to ask Kizmel on the way, but he didn't expect the latter to really answer him.

"We, the dark elves, and the forest elves were companions who entrusted their lives in the past. Later, the earth separated, and the world we are in now rose into the air and became a hanging city. What was lost was not only the earth, but also magic inheritance."

"The difference is the 'temple' common to the elves. The 'temple' is not a fixed place, as long as there are holy objects, any place can be called a 'temple'."

"It seems that the key lies in the sacred object." Li Lin asked, "What is that? No, it should be the function of that sacred object?"

"It can release the magic of the earth." Kizmel said: "It is a sacred object created by the elders of the elves thousands of years ago. With the help of the family's spell, you can use the stored magic power to release magic."

"What magic?"

Li Lin felt that this was the most critical question. Kizmel was silent for a moment, and said a few syllables that he didn't understand, and then she translated it thoughtfully, "The prophecy of the siren."

Siren's...prophecy?

Seeing Li Lin's puzzled expression, Kizmel continued: "In ancient times, there was a creature called 'Sraken', and they could accurately predict things that would happen thousands of years later, but a Kraken only lives Can prophesy once. In the past, the elves once rescued a sea monster, and the latter stripped off his soul prophecy in order to repay the favor, and gave it to the elves. In this way, the elves can make a prophecy."

Li Lin understood, "The soul prophecy was stripped out, and then carved into the sacred object as a magic pattern." He said, thinking that the worldview of SAO is really quite big, but it might just be a prop It's just a background story. In fact, the sea monsters and the like are just legends that have not been installed.

"That's right." Kizmel nodded, and then sighed deeply: "The difference between our dark elves and forest elves lies in the use of this prophecy. Since we left the earth, our dark elves have been thinking about it very much." They want to know whether they can return to the earth in the future, so they want to use holy objects to prophesy. But the forest elves disagree with the use of holy objects. They think that once the holy objects are used, they will lose their value, and maintenance without magic will become Ashes. Over the years, the elves have left too many sacred objects, and this is the only one left, so they think it is a symbol of the elves, and they must not lose it..."

"I see."

Li Lin understood, but he couldn't understand that for this kind of thing, the same clan can fight each other to death?But yes, after so many years, it may have gradually escalated from quarrels to fighting and splitting.

After Kizmel finished speaking, he looked at Li Lin, with a questioning light in his dark purple eyes: "What about you, as a human being, who do you think is right?"

"..."

Li Linxin said that I have already chosen your camp. Now that the forest elves are right, the camp will not change... But, if I really want to say...

"I think what you're doing is right." He said, "No matter how great this 'holy object' is, it was born as a tool, and its fate is to be used. I also understand that many things are The symbolic meaning of them far exceeds their own value, but I still feel that things have to return to their own nature. The person who created it didn’t even think about turning it into a holy thing, did he?”

Kizmel nodded upon hearing this, but did not say whether he was right or not.But Li Lin really thought so, and he was indeed on the side of the dark elves in this matter.Of course, it may also be a matter of narrative. If the forest elves had been chosen, what they said might be completely different.It is not ruled out that Kizmel has a "spring and autumn brushwork" suspicion.

But Li Lin was just like the idea above, he didn't think too much about it.Now that he has chosen the camp, he will continue to do the task.Especially when he found out that both the commander and the patrolling dark elves had lost their intelligence, his sense of reality was greatly reduced, and his sense of substitution was also reduced a lot.In this case, on the contrary, the mind of in-depth exploration of the plot will be lost.

While talking, the two had already reached the middle of the forest, and Kizmel became cautious when they got here.She asked Li Lin to walk slowly with her, circling around from time to time, and the latter realized that there were many traps on the ground after he followed her.

If there is no player led by an NPC, I am afraid it will suffer a lot...

The two bypassed the traps, and even hid in the grass to avoid some patrolling forest elf guards. They made their way forward, and it took a full hour before they finally arrived outside the castle.

"How do I get in?" Li Lin hid in the grass and looked at more than ten elf guards in front of the green gate through the green grass blades. The liquid looked like a half bottle of matcha coffee.

"Use it." Kizmel whispered, reaching inside the leather armor on his chest with one hand, took out two handkerchiefs that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and handed one to Li Lin, "Cover your mouth and nose."

"..."

Li Lin was a little embarrassed, he hesitated before taking it, and put it in front of his face. A strong smell came out of his nostrils under the shaking. He subconsciously glanced at Kizmel, who calmly said: "Handkerchief It has been soaked in the juice of leafless flowers for three days and three nights, and it can resist poison."

"Oh..." Li Lin put away her inexplicable thoughts and covered her mouth and nose. Kizmel did the same. The liquid slowly flowed out and onto the ground.

Even though he was covering it with a handkerchief, Li Lin could still smell the green liquid. It was not as pungent as he expected, but very fresh.Even compared to the smell on the handkerchief, it was more like poison gas, and the green liquid was more like detox gas.

But... Seeing the forest elves guarding the gate with strange expressions on their faces, and then falling to the ground with a plop, he withdrew his thoughts.This is the reason why the so-called good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease.

"This is the poison made by the pharmacist based on the fangs we got from the spider queen." Kizmel said, pulling Li Lin's arm out of the grass, "Come on, let's go in!"

"But is it okay?" Li Lin asked while running with her, "Other patrol elves will be able to find it immediately after they come, and if someone comes out of it..."

"The patrol elves will pass by here in [-] minutes. There are not many elves inside. Their duty is to guard and will not come out...We don't have much time."

After running to the door, Kizmel pushed the door lightly and it opened. Li Lin followed her in, and found that the castle was also full of trees and flowers, or even a castle growing on the trees and flowers.

"The forest elves don't like living in an environment without plants, but they also like the luxurious and magnificent buildings of humans, so they built this kind of residence." Kizmel explained as if seeing Li Lin's doubts.

"That's right. But it's so big inside, how do we find the sanctuary?"

"Then it depends on what we snatched from the forest elf knight when we first met." She said, taking out the small cloth bag from before, and took out the contents, which was a finger-length The thin red line is nothing special at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see a faint shimmer at the top of it.

"The higher the frequency of light flickering, the closer we are to the temple." Kizmel said and started to walk forward, and Li Lin followed, and the two moved forward vigilantly, but as the former said, the There are surprisingly few elves.It is estimated that a large number of them have been sent out to patrol, or they may be on other floors, such as the third floor.There are still a large number of forest elves looking for the dark elf camp there, and they probably won't come back until the mission is over.

Thinking of this, Li Lin took a few steps, but suddenly found that his map function was flickering. When he opened it, it showed that the current exploration progress had reached 1%.

"Sure enough, I guessed right."

He wasn't too surprised, he guessed from the beginning that this castle was the labyrinth of this level.Now it seems that this is indeed the case. If this is the case, it would be great if the maze can be clearly explored during the mission.

Walking with Kizmel, the latter's movements are very light. If it is another player, I am afraid that with the current level of agility attributes, they will not be able to keep up with her movements. It seems like Li Lin's exclusive task. After all, only He could keep up with her as a player.

Along the way, they avoided the occasional forest elves, and when they couldn't avoid them, she would use the spider queen's venom to stun them again and then move on. In this way, they came to a place in less than ten minutes without fighting. In front of the room in the corner of the second floor, the frequency of the light flickering on the top of the red rope also reached its peak here.

"This is it." Kizmel said, Li Lin looked at the ordinary stone gate in front of him, but felt a little strange.If it is an important place like the church, there should be no guards.Of course, the guards may not be outside, and maybe they are all inside the door.But no matter what, he also knows that a battle is unavoidable... It is said to sneak in and steal things, but in most game designs, you have to fight for you in the end, it has become a rule.

Li Lin was still thinking, but Kizmel rushed to push the door, as if the sacred object was very important to her... Seeing her eager action, Li Lin's heart moved slightly, but he didn't express it If something happened, he also stepped forward and opened the door.In an instant, the sound of the stone door turning could be heard.

"Kakakakaka..."
