Refuse To Bind The System, Meet God At The Corner

Happy time always flies by so fast, and it’s already midnight in a blink of an eye.

"Nalan, I'm so sorry. Please stay vigil with me."

Outside the camp, Saiga apologized to Nalan Shu while wiping his short knife by the light of the fire.

"It's nothing, I can't sleep, and my job is relatively easy. It doesn't matter if I sleep less; it's not like you who have to chase prey and lay traps, which is too tiring." Nalan Shu crossed his legs and warmed himself by the fire. Said, "And I voluntarily stepped forward to take over, so don't worry about it."

It turned out that the elf who was on duty with Sai Ka accidentally drank too much and became unconscious, so he was carried back to his tent to lie down. When Nalan Shu saw this, he took the initiative to stand up for the elf. A drunkard's class kept vigil with Sai Ka.

Moreover, not long ago, Nalan Shu felt an indescribable sense of violation, which meant that something might happen tonight.

There were also some other things he wanted to ask Sai Ka.

"Saika, who is that 'Prince Edward'?"

"Oh, you mean His Highness the Prince." Sai Ka replied without thinking: "Of course it is His Highness the Prince!"

Listening to your words is like listening to your words.

"Of course I know this." Nalan Shu asked with a dark face: "What I want to ask is, what kind of existence is this Prince?"

"He is our favorite prince. He is like the sun to us." Sai Ka raised his head slightly, looking fascinated, "His body is full of our first generation king, The blood of Holy Tree Elf King Orf Siman is so noble and dazzling."

"Then why is he still the crown prince? Is the Elf King still around?"

"Nalan, you are a foreigner, so there are some things you don't know." Saiga shook his head and talked eloquently, "I'll tell you why."

"The first Elf King has been gone for nearly 60,000 years. Prince Edward, his father, grandmother, etc. are all just crown princes. Although they are in charge of the kingdom, they cannot be regarded as 'kings'."

"why?"

"Because they are not recognized by the World Tree and cannot hold the bow, they are not qualified to be king."

"World Tree? Bow?" Nalan Shu asked, "What are these two?"

"The World Tree is the only belief of our elves. It created this endless forest of Akrit that we rely on for survival, and it dedicates itself to countless lives." Saiga said: "And the bow, Its name is Gonkunkovo. It is said to be made from the ribs of dragons and branches of the World Tree. It has infinite power and symbolizes the authority of the king. It is passed down from generation to generation by the royal family and handed over to the saint of the temple. Your Majesty will keep it for safekeeping.”

"Well, I understand."

When Nalan Shu heard this, he thought to himself, isn't this the Pangu and Chuanguo Jade Seal? Sure enough, there would be something like this anywhere.

"It's a pity that except for the first generation of elf kings, no elf can be recognized by the World Tree." Saiga said regretfully, "Therefore, no king in the true sense has appeared."

"There is no king, so the king's descendants govern the kingdom." Nalan Shu understood, "That's it."

"Then it seems that the existence of 'King' has no meaning. It is just a symbolic name."

After hearing Nalan Shu's words, Sai Ka was silent for a long time, and finally said quietly: "Nalan, that's not the case. King, it's very important."

"Did you know? It is said that when the king was still there, our ancestors believed in the king wholeheartedly and used the king as a medium to build a connection with the World Tree."

"That feeling was wonderful, as if I was being protected by my mother; but now..."

Saika's tone slowly turned sad, and tears began to well up in his green eyes.

"But since there is no king, the World Tree has fallen into a deep sleep. We never have that feeling again, as if we were abandoned by it."

This kind of abandonment is similar to parents abandoning their children. As "children", the elves definitely feel uncomfortable.

Nalan Shu didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head silently and used branches to turn over the coals in the fire in front of him.

"Ahem, I'm so embarrassed." Saika wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Prince Edward is our best prince. I believe that he will be recognized by the World Tree in the future and become the Elf King!"

"Yes." Nalan Shu also nodded and said, "I believe it too."

Although I have never met that prince, from what Sai Ka said, he must be a pretty good person.

The two chatted for a long time. When he saw the other two elves on duty walking towards him, Saiga yawned and said to Nalan Shu: "Nalan, our mission is completed, it's time to go back. ”

"Yes." Nalan bundled up and stretched his waist. His waist was a little sore after sitting for too long.

"You seem to be sharing a tent with Nal and Nani." Saiga said with a smile: "Those two little guys are not honest when sleeping. The last time I slept with them, they put their feet on my chest. , you have to be careful."

"I will, thanks for reminding me."

After the handover of responsibilities was completed, when Nalan Shu and Sai Ka were preparing to go back, a putrid smell suddenly came from nowhere.

"What the smell is." One of the male elves on duty frowned.

"I don't know, maybe something died and rotted," his partner said.

Nalan Shu also frowned, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

There was a rustling sound in the trees not far away, and a huge black shadow was staggering towards them.

"Who!" Sai Ka set up his bow and arrow and shouted sternly.

The other two elves who came on duty also set up their bows and arrows and looked at the black figure warily.

As the figure got closer, the putrid smell became stronger and stronger. Finally, by the light of the fire, Nalan Shu and others could clearly see the appearance of the person coming.

It was the walking corpse of a stone-armored giant that had nearly half decayed. The blood flowing from the huge facial features had condensed into dark brown blood stains. The soft abdomen that was not covered by the stone armor was open, and the organs were hanging. As the giant The walk was swaying.

"vomit……"

The two elves and Saikana who came for the shift had never seen such a scene before, and they immediately started retching; Nalan Shu had already seen the "big scene", but when he saw this half-rotted stone giant clearly, The walking corpse also feels unwell.

It slowly approached Nalan Shu and the others. Sai Ka reacted first, suppressed his nausea and re-winded the string, shooting an arrow into its eyes.

"Whoosh!"

The walking corpse was shot in the eyes, staggered slightly, and continued to slowly approach Nalan Shu and others.

It might have been dead a long time ago, and any physical damage done to it now would probably have no effect.
