I really only stop

She twitched the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner. Because her face was too pale, Lacey Livi was weak even for such a simple movement:

"How is Lu Xi's health? I heard that you were used some kind of method by the invaders, but the situation was too urgent at that time, and I couldn't take you away with me anymore. I hope you can forgive me."

"You don't need to ask for my forgiveness, Your Excellency Lacey Levy."

Exchanged a top-level soft pillow from the system store, and Lu Xi placed it behind the haggard and sickly beauty of the elf leader:

"You made the most correct judgment at that time. I would like to thank you for protecting Nana and Celica from seeing that desperate scene."

Before breaking free from his mind, what Lu Xi was most worried about was the situation of Nana and Celica who had witnessed the brutal demise of the elves.Looking at it now, the two of them have been staying in the temporary camp outside the protective cover. When the protective cover was broken, Leixi Liwei, who intuitively sensed that something was wrong, took the two of them directly to the cave in front of them. .Except for the green plague in the sky, Nana and Celica may not know what happened in the Holy Land.

"It's just a handy job. If there were other elves around at that time, I might not have taken Nana and Celica away."

Deliberately refusing to accept Lu Xi's thanks, Lacey Livi raised her chin towards a deeper place in the cave:

"After a night of turmoil, I asked the two of them to sleep with Rui Yin. Before they wake up, please help me up. Let's go back to the holy land of elves. There are still some things to do."

"You, are you going back to the Holy Land?"

A bad premonition arose in her heart because of Leixi Liwei's extremely calm tone, and Yuxia hurriedly dissuaded her:

"Although the plague over there has almost dissipated, you were also affected by the plague before. At this time, it is better to receive my treatment here..."

"This is my choice, Yuxia."

Gently rubbing Miss Saintess's head, Lacey Levi showed a gentle smile:

"Just like you knew it would be very difficult, but you still insisted on coming here and telling me the bad news. As the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Elven Race, I also have a certain responsibility that cannot be shirked. Even if you don't help me, I will also do my best to complete this mission—just accept another willful request from me, please take me back to the holy land of elves, okay?"

"..."

Really didn't know how to respond to Lacey Levi who had such a firm attitude, Yuxia subconsciously looked in Lu Xi's direction, and just got the response of the other party's eyes, "Well, let's listen to Your Excellency Lacey Levy".

Since even Lu Xi said so...

Lifting Recilivi from the ground as lightly as possible, Yuxia nodded:

"I understand, Lady Lacey Levy. Please take care of your body and let me know if you need anything."

Unknowingly, that little saint has also grown into this appearance.

With a sigh of relief, Lacey Livi rested her cheek on Yuxia's shoulder with confidence:

"...Thank you, Yushia."

Chapter 688 The Weight of Life

After the plague broke through the protection of the World Tree, the space barrier that restricted the outside world from entering the holy land of elves seemed to lose its effect.Under the guidance of Lacey Livi, Yuxia opened the holy teleportation array to the holy land, and then their figures appeared on the broken holy land again.

Setting foot on the completely destroyed hometown again, Lacey Livi's performance was far calmer than Lu Xi and Yuxia had expected before.

[Fayin·Explore life. 】

Some uncomplicated lines appeared out of thin air on the palm of Lacey Levi's mind, and a slender halo full of life spread around her, bringing back some kind of Lu Xi and Yu Xiya's aura. Information that is incomprehensible.

"Intellectual race, three people. Other lives, countless. Elves... one person."

Muttering the information brought back by Fayin, Lacey Livi said in a low voice:

"My previous judgment was not wrong. The plague last night really only had a natural enemy-like restraint effect on elves and magic seals. Except for the fallen elves, everything in the elves holy land is as usual... so calm."

"Master Lacey Levy..."

I felt a slight tremor from the arm supported by Lacey Livi, knowing that the leader of the elf council might not be as calm as it seemed, Yuxia worriedly used the holy light to relieve fatigue:

"What are you going to do when you return to the Elven Holy Land? If you need to use me and Lu Xi, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you for your kindness. However, this is something that only I, a [Spirit], can do."

Gently breaking free from the support of Miss Saintess, Leixi Liwei slowly walked to a group of minced meat whose original shape could not be seen, and stood there for a long time.

At that moment, the back of Leixi Liwei, who always showed a lively side, looked so lonely and helpless, but unfortunately, it also allowed people to see the hidden strength in her heart.

After a long time, she suddenly showed a slight smile on her face.The unique stripes when drawing the seal appeared out of thin air around her, but they didn't form any complicated pattern, they were just connected end to end.

It's a perfectly round shape.

At the moment when the circular seal appeared, the elf corpse in front of Lacey Livi suddenly shone with emerald green light.These rays of light became stronger and stronger, and when the rays of light completely covered the body of the elf and reached its peak brightness, they suddenly flew to the sky with the body turned into dots of fluorescence, and fluttered towards the world tree. direction.

In the early morning when the sun had not yet risen and the moon had disappeared, this fluorescent light left a clear track in the huge sky.

Although ethereal, but it does exist there.

Looking up at the fluorescent journey, Lacey Liwei clasped her hands together and said softly:

"May you enjoy the protection of the World Tree forever."

------------

Things have come to this point, Lu Xi and Yu Xiya finally understand what Lacey Levi's so-called 'things to do' is.

Rui Yin has not yet reached the age enough to bear the weight of the word "death". As the only adult elf nearby, Lacey Livi has the obligation to send her last blessings to her departed compatriots.

Circles, fluorescents, prayers.

Under the light of fluorescent lights flying all over the sky, Lacey Livi walked to the remains of the elves one by one, and after standing quietly for a while, let their remains turn into fireflies and fly towards the World Tree.

In all fairness, this funeral of the elves did not have grand ceremonies and tedious procedures, but everyone who witnessed it felt the weight of life.

"This circle-shaped sigil is the simplest one among all sigils. It is the first thing every elf learns when they first come into contact with the sigil system. But unexpectedly, they don't use it too much. "

On the way to the next elf's body, Lacey Levy would sometimes talk to Lu Xi like she was talking to herself:

"The circle is chosen because it just represents our whole life. Born from the gift of the world, after going through our own journey, we return to the embrace of the world."

"..."

Knowing that now is not the time to interrupt, neither Lucy nor Yuxia said anything, but slowly followed behind Lacey Livi, listening to her soft narration.

"Unlike the vast majority of intellectual life, we elves do not have a specific concept of [mother]. We all come from nature. Therefore, our understanding of [life view] is also different from most lives. In the tradition of the elves In this world, when a long life comes to an end, what greets us is not death, but the embrace of Mother Nature."

Keeping a calm smile, Lacey Levy explained the concept of the elves:

"Do human beings feel fear and fear when they throw themselves into the arms of their mothers? No. In the same way, in the face of death, we don't need to be as sad as we appear. Just smile calmly and pray for leaving It is enough for my compatriots to offer their blessings—”

The originally fluent words came to an abrupt end here, as if seeing something unbelievable, Lacey Livi's footsteps stopped in place, her pretty face was full of astonishment:

"That, that..."

"!"

Following Lacey Levi's gaze, Lu Xi's pupils couldn't help but widen a bit.

Next to the distorted mass of minced meat, a brand-new set of wooden bows and arrows lay there quietly.

If I am not mistaken, it seems to be the one that Miss Violet has been working hard to polish yesterday——

"Purple, Violet!!!!"

No longer able to maintain the composure shown on her face, after recognizing the owner of the bow, Lexi Liwei ran over desperately regardless of her body that was already on the verge of limit—then, she fell powerlessly to her best friend, no, It was in front of 【The Body of a Best Friend】.

Make no mistake, this is really her.

All the strength in her body seemed to be sucked away by some kind of existence, and she couldn't exert any strength, and there was only a mess in Leixi Liwei's mind.

Why, why are violets here?Why is she so close to the world tree?

With her strong physical fitness, if she didn't just stay at the outbreak point of the plague, it is very possible to escape!

'——'

As if hearing Lacey Levi's inner voice, a gust of wind blew by, and just moved the wooden bow leaning against the tree, revealing the pattern engraved on the back of the bow.

It was an abstract violet.

Educated elves can see that because of the change in the pattern of the seal, the primary seal that is the main body of this violet has completely lost its function.However, it was such a deformed elementary seal that had lost its function that suddenly made the world in front of Leixi Liwei's eyes blurred.

... Strange, why do I shed tears?

Feeling the hot teardrops falling from the sockets of eyes, Lacey Levi didn't have the slightest intention to wipe them off.

He obviously told Lu Xi and the others before that 'death is not something to be sad for elves', and now he encountered such a situation in the blink of an eye.

What is this?Is this World Tree's punishment for me to pretend to be brave?

Why did my most important person appear in front of me in this way at this moment?

That's right, those words I said before were just beautiful words pretending to be relaxed, it doesn't matter whether it's [death] or [return to mother's embrace]——

Putting her head on the ground in front of her best friend's body, Lacey Liwei gritted her teeth, but she still couldn't stop her heart from crying out of her lips:

"——What's the difference? It's natural to feel sad when you lose the most important person. I am a hopeless idiot, a big fool, and a fool."

"Violet..."

The crying call became the last straw that crushed Lacey Levy, and she could no longer show a free and easy posture in front of Lu Xi and the two. Your Excellency, the Supreme Council of the Elves, just cried loudly like a helpless child , constantly calling out the name of that important person.

Unfortunately, she has never been able to get a response.

As if aware of her mood, the emerald green fluorescence hovered in the sky for a long time, unwilling to dissipate.The radiance of the morning sun has gradually appeared in the distant sky. However, no matter how beautiful the scene is, it cannot make the people who witnessed all this feel at ease.

This is the weight of life.

It is also the sadness of parting.

Chapter 689 The Last Request

As Lu Xi said before, crying is by no means equal to weakness at certain times.

Even though there was still so much reluctance in her heart and so many things she wanted to say, when the tears finally stopped and the numb and stiff fingers finally recovered a little bit of consciousness, Leixi Liwei still raised her head and drew the perfect circle shape.

There is no difference because it is an important person of the caster. Like any other elf, Violet's body first shone brightly, and then turned into emerald green fluorescence and converged in the direction of the world tree.

The elf senior with an adventurous character, a cheerful and heroic spirit who likes to take care of others has since returned to the embrace of nature.

After silently staring at the band of light above her head for a while, Lacey Levi stood up:

"...It's okay, let's move on."

"Master Lacey Levy..."

Worried about supporting Recilivi's arm, Yuxia hesitated for a long time, and whispered in her ear:

"If you're sad, it's okay to just rest for a while."

"No, I [can only] go forward."

Slightly struggling to break away from Yuxia's support, Leixi Liwei just looked straight ahead:

"This is my responsibility as the leader of the Supreme Council of the Elves."

"...Similarly, it is also my [duty] as a living person."

----------

The simple but solemn holy land tour ceremony came to an end in silence.When all the remains of the elves turned into light spots and disappeared, the huge holy land of elves seemed to have returned to its former peace and tranquility.

It's just that the silence at this moment is really overwhelming.

"...Yusia, Lucy."

Withdrawing her gaze from the World Tree in front of her, Lacey Levi turned her head and looked at the two young men behind her:

"I'm sorry to have left you with bad memories. At the same time, as the supreme leader of the elves, I would also like to thank you for your company along the way. If I am alone without you, I am afraid that I will not be able to unable to fulfill their obligations.”

"...Please don't do this."

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Xi said:

"From my point of view, Your Excellency Lacey Levi, you have done a very good job. It's not [we accompany you], but [you encourage us to face all this]."

This is entirely from his heart.

As the last survivor and leader, Lacey Levi's actions to bid farewell to the whole family alone are enough to make anyone feel respected.

Under the dark sky, where even the stars disappeared, the Elf leader stood alone, praying with folded hands, surrounded by ruins, and a galaxy composed of fluorescent lights flew up in front of her, winding towards the world tree At the other end of the world—neither Lucy nor Yuxia will ever forget the scene they saw this morning.

Behind the faint sadness, there is the power to calm people down.

"Then, we [encourage each other]."
