Chapter 173: [Wrath of God], The Disaster of the Emerald Isle
Chapter 173 [Wrath of God], The Disaster of the Emerald Island
Before Xia En could speak, Laila said in surprise: "Become a flower field?"
“Sounds great!”
“Let’s do this, I’ll give you five gold coins and give me all these magic books.”
The little girl naturally nodded hurriedly and packed these magic books to Laila.
But at this moment, two or three elves happened to be passing by.
“Laila, is that you?”
Due to Laila's unique appearance, one of the elf girls quickly recognized her and spoke with some caution and concern.
“It’s been such a long time.”
Seeing this girl, Laila, who had always been calm, changed her expression slightly. She couldn't help biting her lips and spoke in a complicated tone.
“Sister Anqi…”
Xia En glanced at the girl in surprise.
Layla's aunt is the current elf queen, and the two of them don't seem to be biological sisters.
In other words, this girl named "Anqi" is the real elf princess!
It is not difficult to see that Angel’s attitude towards Laila is very complicated.
Concerned yet distant, wanting to get close but afraid to get close.
After thinking about it, An Qi’s attention fell on the magic book on the stall, and she quickly frowned.
“Laila, these ancient books... must be forgeries, right?”
As soon as these words came out, the little girl setting up the stall turned pale, and there was pleading in her eyes.
Laila sighed: "Sister, I have seen this kind of thing a long time ago."
"But as long as two or three of these books are true, I think it's worth it."
Obviously, Laila had already seen through the little girl's clumsy tactics, but she didn't expose it out of sympathy.
An Qi was stunned and asked, "Are you still studying those messy things?"
"Laila, listen to my sister's advice. You are a gifted person and you can use your talents to advance on the road and practice secret techniques."
“If you had practiced hard, you would have broken through the fourth level by now. How could you stop at the third level?”
“…That’s not a mess!”
Hearing these words, Laila finally couldn't help but retorted loudly.
The surrounding area immediately became quiet, and the passers-by stared at her in surprise.
“I’m sorry, sister, I was a little out of sorts.”
Before she finished speaking, Laila hurriedly left the square and plunged into the nearby woods, leaving An Qi and others looking at each other.
At this time, Xia En walked up to An Qi, first showed that he was Laila's friend, and then asked.
“Why is the relationship between Miss Laila and Her Royal Highness the Princess so weird?”
Although Xia En's appearance in a black robe is quite suspicious, in the [Upper City], various races live together, and there are many people wearing strange clothes.
An Qi didn’t have too much doubt, sighed and explained.
“In the elves, this is actually not a secret.”
“Laila’s mother once committed extremely serious mistakes, which even attracted [God’s wrath].”
“It is precisely because of this that we were forced to move to this [Emerald Island] in an attempt to avoid disaster.”
“Because of this incident, Laila became the daughter of a sinner, and she gradually became estranged from me.”
【The Wrath of God】?
Xia En's heart jumped suddenly.
He has not forgotten that the destruction of the elves was a result of offending a certain god.
Because of this, he was cursed with [aphasia].
So there was a clue at this time?
Xia En also thought of the strange fish that attacked the port just now, and felt even more uneasy.
In this era, the great flood has not yet come, and the mysterious power on the land has not polluted the ocean. In fact, there are not many alienated sea beasts like the ones that can be seen everywhere later.
Why does that kind of strange fish that obviously comes from the deep sea attack an island on the sea?
Moreover, judging from Laila’s tone, it was obvious that this was not the first time this happened.
Xia En’s heart beat faster and faster, and he vaguely realized something.
So he quickly said goodbye to Angel and chased in the direction where Laila escaped.
…
…
at the same time.
Laila ran into the woods, but leaned against a big tree, with many confusing emotions flooding her heart.
Of course Laila knew that An Qi was doing it for her own good, and also knew that she was sincerely concerned.
But the problem is…
Layla is nicknamed the "Sinner's Daughter". She lives alone in a small wooden house and is marginalized by other elves. Her parents died early.
Those messy and useless studies to others, whether it is steam engines, alchemy, or various strange magics, have become her hobbies and the pillars of her soul.
No one wants something they love to be devalued as worthless by others.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Laila felt.
For a moment, I couldn't help but sob softly, crying like a little tabby cat.
At the end of the day.
According to the lifespan of an elf, Laila is still just a little girl.
Why can’t we be more vulnerable and childish?
At this moment, Laila suddenly heard subtle footsteps.
She quickly turned around and faced the big tree, not wanting others to see her current appearance.
“Laila.”
Soon, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Laila lowered her head and said dullly: "Xia En, do you also think what my sister said is right?"
“Do you also think I shouldn’t do these useless studies?”
“How could it be so?”
Xia En’s voice sounded again.
“What a person likes to do and study, as long as it does not harm others, that is his freedom.”
“I think you did nothing wrong.”
“If you don’t believe it, just turn around and take a look and you will know.”
Hearing this, Laila raised her head hesitantly and looked behind her.
At this sight, the elf girl was stunned.
I saw that in the not dense woods, the golden sunset passed through the gaps in the leaves and poured down like water.
Below, one after another, nameless white flowers emerged from the soil at some unknown time, spreading their petals to their heart's content and blooming with all their strength.
The breeze blew gently, and the white flowers undulated like a sea of flowers.
Such a beautiful and dreamy sight made Laila temporarily lose her mind.
In the sea of flowers, a strange figure wearing a black robe slowly walked forward holding a tattered old book.
Looks out of place with this scene.
“I didn’t expect this magic to be quite spectacular?”
Xia En was also quite emotional.
Because [Captain's Majesty] was bound to Joey, he already mastered some low-level spells, and now he has learned Elvish.
So, with just a little research, I figured out how to use this magic.
But Xia En didn’t expect that the visual effect after the actual release would be so amazing!
Perhaps, this has something to do with his extremely high [mysterious] attribute.
"What a nice view…"
At this time, Laila looked at the flower field in front of her and murmured to herself.
"I like this magic very much..." "As long as you like it."
Suddenly, something happened, and Xia En said: "How about this, you can record the magic you like and collect in a notebook."
“Human memory is limited after all.”
“Besides, maybe there will be other people who like to delve into this kind of magic in the future?”
“At that time, this notebook can be regarded as a precious legacy you leave to future generations.”
Hearing this, Laila nodded confusedly: "That seems to be the truth..."
Boom! !
Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance, as if the sky was falling. The earth-shattering sound surged with darkness and air waves, and crashed into the upper city.
The entire city, and even the elf mother tree in the center, was shaking violently.
Xia En and the other two were also unstable due to the shaking of the ground and almost fell down.
"What happened?"
Shaan supported Laila and looked up to the heights, and was suddenly horrified.
In the sky not far away, a dark and deep gap hundreds of meters long suddenly opened.
Immediately, a black substance that looked like mist or sea water flowed out of the cracks and quickly poured towards the Elf Mother Tree.
Not only that, there were huge shadow monsters swaying out of the cracks one after another.
That’s right, it’s “you!”
In the black mist, only the outline of the monster could be seen clearly, swimming in mid-air as if it were in the sea.
Seeing this scene, Laila's expression changed instantly and she gritted her teeth.
“It is [the wrath of God]…”
“Those monsters will attack everyone indiscriminately, and my mother was killed by them.”
This is [the wrath of God]? !
Xia En was shocked in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to think about the reasons behind this, so he immediately ran in the direction he came from.
Yan Yan and Cui Qian are still waiting in the square!
Laila did not hesitate and followed his footsteps.
Just as they were rushing to the square, several emerald-green streams of light had risen from the elf mother tree and took the initiative to attack the monsters in mid-air.
Obviously, this is the action of a strong man among the elves!
But at the same time, [Upper City] also fell into unprecedented chaos.
In the previously lively and orderly square, no matter whether it was merchants, vendors, guests, or local residents, they were all running around in confusion.
Screams, cries, wailings...were heard one after another.
Fortunately, Yan Yan followed Xia En's instructions honestly and stayed where he was with Tracy without moving.
However, there were a few more unexpected figures beside them.
It was the elf princess An Qi, her friends, and some traders who recognized her identity.
They probably gathered here because they felt it was safer to stay with the princess.
Xia En had just arrived in front of Yan Yan when he suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the sky.
I saw an emerald green figure in mid-air, crashing into the square at a faster speed than when it rose.
In an instant, air waves rolled and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
A large pit with a radius of about ten meters appeared in the square.
In the center of the pit, there lay a male elf with weak breath.
There was a big hole in his abdomen, and his intestines fell out. It seemed that he would not survive.
Seeing this man, Angel and Laila couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle Bendis!"
Laila was completely puzzled.
This Bendis is an important elf noble and a fifth-level mystic. How could he lose so quickly?
“Let’s go!”
Bendis was unconscious, but he said an important message: "That kind of black mist... can seal the secret power in the Elvish language!"
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized.
Although the elven mystics also have other secret ways, they are too dependent on the easy-to-use language of Elvish.
So that once they lose this language, their strength will be greatly reduced.
Exactly what he thought.
At this time, in mid-air, the elf warriors who had risen into the air began to fall from high places one after another, or were swallowed up by monsters in the black mist.
In an instant, there were huge casualties.
Moreover, a thick and ominous black mist like water has quietly come in and spread around everyone.
"Now how to do?"
The elf princess An Qi was obviously a little panicked.
She knew she had to escape, but the whole city was enveloped in black mist, so where could she escape?
“Go to [Lower City]!”
Xia En’s brain was spinning rapidly and he made a decision quickly.
【Upper City】is located at a high place, so of course it will be attacked by 【God's Wrath】 immediately.
【Lower City】As the core of the elves, there must be other means of defense.
Furthermore, Xia En knew that the pirate king was also in the port below!
If the Elvish language fails, then Augustine is most likely to be the strongest person on this [Emerald Island]!
When hugging your thighs, of course you have to choose the thickest one to hug!
An Qi frowned and said, "But now, the passage from [Upper City] to [Lower City] must be blocked."
“Is it possible to jump off the edge of the city?”
Xia En asked back: "Isn't there a teleportation spell?"
Angie’s brows furrowed even deeper: “I’ve already tried it, but I can’t cast spells in Elvish anymore…”
She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking.
Because on the side, Laila had already drawn a simple magic circle at the feet of everyone.
“Everybody stand up.”
“This is a teleportation array that does not use Elvish!”
For a moment, An Qi was speechless.
Soon, in a ray of light, everyone’s figures appeared in the [Lower City] below.
It’s just that the situation here is not much better than in the upper city.
The surrounding space has been filled with water-like black fog, and visibility is extremely low.
Only vaguely visible were several emerald green light sources in the black mist, and vague sounds of screams and fighting came from the direction of the light sources.
The air is filled with the smell of blood that cannot be ignored.
“So dark...so scary...”
Tracey murmured in a low voice and hid in Laila's collar tremblingly.
Xia En looked around and found that the group of people all had similar expressions.
They do not have [lightless touch], and in this dark environment, the fear in their hearts is constantly growing.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came.
In the team, the fat businessman from [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] fell to the ground. His head disappeared, leaving only a headless body.
That is, other people could not clearly see his condition, otherwise they might have screamed.
A chill arose in Xia En's back, and instinctive warning signs surged up like crazy.
He realized that there was some kind of extremely terrifying "hunter" hidden in the darkness!
Xia En looked decisively at Yan Yan beside him and said.
“Let there be light!”
Yan Yan suddenly understood, and surging flames immediately rose from his body, igniting the black robe and illuminating the surroundings like a torch.
Immediately, without hesitation, Xia En took out the black dragon sword from the space ring.
Suddenly slashed forward with the sword!
