Summoning the Holy Sword

Just as the elven queen selected the contestants of the sword dance ritual, Rhode was leading Li Jie, Annie and the mermaid around the elves' assembly hall.

Although it is a meeting place, the so-called parks and markets of the elves and Li Jie's imagination are completely different. Surrounded by tall trees and green grass, clear streams flow along the sides to form A circular open space similar to a public assembly hall, while the elves sat quietly on the branches or grass on both sides, listening to the singing and performance of the elves in the center of the clearing. The elves were born musicians and singers. They The gentle, melodious and clear voice echoed in this forest, bringing a different style.

In the case of humans, I'm afraid I can't help clapping to hear such a beautiful song, but the elves didn't like it. Before coming to the assembly hall, Rhodes warned Anne and Lijie, regardless of No matter how good they sing, they are not allowed to applaud, because the elves value the beauty of fluidity and nature. If they really respect and understand their singing, just listen to it quietly. This is the greatest respect for the host.

The appearance of humans such as Rhodes naturally caused the curious attention of the elves in the assembly hall. After all, it is difficult to see humans here. Generally, for various reasons, few humans choose to penetrate the elves. Omori, most humans can't stand the kind of harsh and weird rules of the elves, so they would rather stay in the station operated by the half-elves rather than take the initiative to find trouble. The appearance of Rhode's party immediately caught the attention of many elves. Not to mention that Rhode's own appearance is not much different from that of the elves, and the little mermaid suspended in the water polo is equally striking.

What made the elves even more curious was that although he was in the elf's meeting place, Rhode showed no restraint and anxiety. On the contrary, the paths hidden in the bushes and grasses were to this young man. It doesn't seem to be a problem for humans. He seems to be extremely familiar with it, as if he has lived in this fairy forest for many years, but the elves can be sure that they have never seen such a human.

Not only did the elves feel weird, but even Lijie and Annie felt very confused. According to the truth, Rhodes would never have been here, but he behaved as if he were the host or guide here. What are the services of the "Elf Forest Free Tour" with three individual customers. According to Li Jie and Annie, if the semi-elves live in Blackberry Town, they can barely distinguish the difference between artificial buildings and plants. Then, when they come to the Elf's site, they look up and look at them. I can't even find a trace of artificial artifacts. Although the elves also live in the wooden house, the wooden houses of the elves are different from the wooden houses of humans. Most of them just put branches together to form a space, looking far away. Go, like a dense green crown. But Rhodes was able to see at a glance where the elves' house was, and he even told the three from time to time what kind of hobbies and achievements the elves lived here, as well as the human history and allusions of the elves. This even made Li Jie doubt that Rhodes was a human being disguised as a native elf.

"What a beautiful place ........."

Li Jie turned her head and looked at the round open space not far away, where the faint vocals still lingered in her ears. For Li Jie, this was simply her dream paradise, quiet and comfortable. , Tranquility, peace. Just just standing in this forest, I feel that everything in this world is far away from myself. The troubles that belong to humans seem to be invisible to these elves. They live peacefully and simply every day. There is no need to care about any fight, no quarrel over money, fame, and status. There is no intrigue with each other, and there is no secret stumbling block. If she can, Li Jie even hopes that she can live here forever, away from worries and sorrows, and just live a quiet life here ......... "Well, what a great place!"

Hearing Li Jie's words, Annie nodded strongly, and then bit down a bright red apple in her hand, which was a gift from Annie before, but for Annie, nothing is more than food Make her worthy of attention.

"Wooha ......... It's so delicious, Li Jie, cute, do you want it?"

Annie said as she took out two apples from her arms and shook at the girls around her. In the face of Annie's inquiry, Li Jie smiled slightly, and then reached for an apple. The little mermaid was lying on the edge of the water polo, staring curiously and cautiously at the apple in Anne's hand. She hesitated to reach out, but when she touched the outer wall of the water polo, she quickly shrank back, as if it was hot. Things are average.

"what a shame."

Looking at the little mermaid's curious and dare look, Annie laughed, and then she opened her mouth and bite the apple in her hand strongly. The crisp sound of the sound sounded like a forefinger. This is also what Anne found out after a long time with the little mermaid. She found that this little mermaid was particularly afraid of life, and she was hardly close to others except Rhodes. Although she and Lijie had been by the side of the mermaid along the way, she looked closer to Rhodes even though Annie She has been "persistent" to seduce the little mermaid, but she has kept a distance with Annie, which makes Anne very distressed, but she is unwilling to give up, I do not know why, she always feels that she likes this little guy very much, so It ’s cute and fun. It ’s a rare playmate for Annie. Even several times, Annie feels that if she sees the little mermaid, she ca n’t help but start drooling ... But what makes Annie helpless is that the little mermaid She was quite wary, and if Rhode had anything to leave, she would rather be closer to Li Jie, and would definitely not want to stay with Anne.

If Rhodes knew it, he would have lamented that the interdependence of the food chain really has its meaning.

"Mr. Rhodes."

At this moment, suddenly a sound sounded, Rhode looked up, and soon, he saw Corinne leap from a tree, quiet and calm, like an elegant cat fell lightly on the ground. Then, he looked up and nodded at Rhodes.

"You are here, it really makes me find it."

"What's the matter? Miss Corina?"

Hearing Colina's words, Rhodes raised her eyebrows, and Corina groaned before answering.

"That's it, Mr. Rhodes, Her Majesty has made a decision. If you have no problem, we will have a sword dance ceremony tonight. If those two ... can pass the test, then we agree Your request to enter the St. White Valley. "Speaking here, Corinna's complexion was a bit complicated. She subconsciously glanced at Rod's side, but she did not see the two girls. Corinna did not know what mood she was After learning about Carles Du Fire from Her Majesty, Corina felt that her heart had always been complicated, and she found that she seemed to understand why Rhodes wanted to enter the Holy White Valley. If that The two girls are indeed the words of Calles Du Ying, then there must be something related to them in the Holy White Valley. However, because of this, Corinna felt a sense of unexpected guilt at this moment. Although it was not her responsibility, Corinna still felt that these heroes who had sacrificed everything for the Elven Clan did not have the ability to Get what you deserve.

"Oh?"

However, Rhode did not notice Corinna's reaction. On the contrary, when he heard the answer from the Moon Elf Girl, Rhode was involuntarily surprised. He originally thought that this time the application would not be so easy to pass, because Whether it is the Holy White Valley or the sword dance ritual, it is a tradition of the elves. As a human being, joining it without authorization will definitely make those elves feel uneasy. According to Rod's experience in the game, these elves are expected to discuss for several days if they are OK, before they can make a decision. This is nothing new to Rhodes. In the late game, he did not encounter similar things after he gained the reputation of the country of law and had the power to join the elf dominion for assistance. Sometimes Rhodes hopes that the elves can send a scout to help their team explore things, and those elves have to discuss for several days before they can come up with the results. So Rhodes is used to it. Every time when he needs the help of the elf, he will send out an application several days in advance, and then turn around to do the task. Back to Elven Forest, maybe these guys haven't discussed the result yet. But I didn't expect this time, the elves would actually pass the proposal about the sword dance ceremony so quickly, which was quite unexpected for Rhodes.

However, although I don't know why the elf became so abnormal this time, it is naturally good for Rhodes to be able to get it done quickly, so he didn't hesitate, but nodded quickly.

"No problem, Miss Corina, we are ready to participate in the sword dance ceremony at any time."

In the face of Rod's reaction, Corina didn't say much, she just smiled and nodded at Rod.

"We have prepared a place for dinner and rest for everyone. After you have eaten, I will take you to the sword dance ceremony."

After saying this, Corina turned around and walked along the other path in the shade.

Rhode looked at Corinna's back, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing, but instead followed. Instead, Li Jie frowned slightly behind Rhodes, looking at Collina with some doubt. Although Colina behaved calmly, Li Jie still felt the complexity and hesitation of the girl hiding under the veil of calm. Li Jie looked at Rhode curiously, and looked at Colina again. Although both of them behaved calmly, Li Jie always felt that the relationship between the two of them was a little uncommon. What is your special opinion? This is not the conclusion of the observation, but the intuition of being a woman.

The dinner prepared by the elves is not very rich. They do not like eating meat or cooked food. In fact, for most elves, they only need fruit to satisfy their appetite. However, this does not mean that the food of the elves is not delicious at all. The wine and elven biscuits they brew have always been well-known in the human world and welcomed by human beings.

However, Rhode did not focus on these delicious foods. Instead, he was stroking the hilt of the waist gently, feeling the inspiration of the soul from the hilt, and since today with the elven queen After meeting with Her Majesty, Rhodes found that his connection with Greyhill and Madaras seemed to have deepened a little bit. He can now even detect their emotions at the moment through the soul fluctuations of these two magic weapons, and they continue to come The soul fluctuations are very smooth and long, which means that Greyhill and Madaras are very calm. Even in the face of the upcoming battle, they are not nervous at all.

The last glimmer of the setting sun fell below the horizon and was replaced by a soft and bright moonlight emerging from the darkness, illuminating some of the dim forest that was originally due to the evening hours. The bird's song faded away.

Rhode looked up and looked at Collina.

"We are ready, Miss Corina."

He then spoke.

Although the sword dance ceremony is a very grand ceremony for the elves, the place where the ceremony is held is not so sacred and inviolable. In fact, the place where the sword dance ceremony is held is the daytime Rhodes. Lead the circular square that Anne and Li Jie visited, but unlike the daytime, the center of the circular square is empty at this moment, and the white moonlight shines down from the sky, enveloping the entire circular square, soft, The bright, unglaring light covers everything.

The elves stood quietly, watching everything in front of them. Rhode looked up, and soon saw the elven queen standing on the high platform of the square. When she noticed Rhode's gaze, the elven queen smiled slightly. Then she looked up, looked at the surrounding elves, and then said.

"My compatriots, my people, today we are going to hold a sacred ceremony here to confirm the two pure and great souls who will use their swords to prove their glory, courage and pride ... and now, under the watch of Moonlight and the Twin Holy Dragons, we promise and guarantee the sacredness and justice of the sword dance ceremony this time. "

After hearing this, the elves couldn't help but have a slight throbbing afterwards. Many "unknown truth" elves expressed varying degrees of surprise and doubt about the speech of the elven queen. This is no wonder, although among the elves, The sword dance rituals have not been rare, but they have never heard the elf queen say "pure and great soul", but now, Her Majesty actually gave such an evaluation to two they have never heard of Challenger?

And when he heard the Elf Queen talking, Rhodes raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about the Elf Queen's appellation of Greyhill and Madaras. On the contrary, Rhode was keenly aware of one thing, which was to be an elf. When the Queen mentioned the creation dragon soul, she also said "holy" instead of "god".

Although the pronunciation is similar, the concepts and meanings of the two are completely different.

"Then, we have our contestants."

With the words of Her Majesty the Queen, a figure that made Rhodes familiar and unfamiliar quickly walked out of the crowd. He wore exquisite glass armor and hung a carefully polished sword with a magical glow on his waist. , The luxurious and complicated helmet covered his face, but even so, as long as he felt that with a bit of interesting eyes, Rhodes can already confirm his identity-that was previously proposed before the Queen This suggested Elven Swordsman, Darles.

What the **** is this guy thinking about?

Rhodes frowned, and couldn't help but look carefully at the elf knight who had stood in the center of the circular square, but he didn't say much. Instead, Rhode reached out his hands and stroked the swords around his waist gently. Soon, another vertigo hit. Then, Rhodes had a flower in his eyes. Soon, two petite, elf girls wrapped around him in the monk's robe appeared in front of Rhodes.

"It's up to you, Gray Hill, Madaras."

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Rhode nodded and said, and when he heard Rhode's words, the two girls could not help but emit a light laugh like silver bells. Then, they held hands and walked to In the center of the circular square, the two girls inadvertently lowered their hoods covering their faces.

"...............!"

No need to confirm, Rhodes has heard the exclaims and sighs of the surrounding elves, and it is clear that they, like those before them, did not even notice the presence of Greyhill and Madaras until they took the initiative Exposed in front of each other. Faced with the surprise of the elves, Grace Hill and Madaras' expressions remained unchanged. They still had a soft smile, and then stretched out their right hands one by one- — Then ... "Brush."

With a light sound, a short white blade suddenly emerged from the cuffs of the two girls.
