Chapter 79. We Can't Give Up Yet, My Lord!
The Blue Moon rose and fell regularly, marking the day and night cycle in Andaheim.
Although they were generally used in dark environments, to the Dark Elves, this cold light was one of the few spiritual consolations they had. It was as if they still maintained their connection with the surface.
Even though he was a bastard, the Dark Elves still believed in him. This was probably the reason.
In the past, even when the moon was setting, one would not be able to see the blinding light coming from behind the mountain. But now, it was pitch black. Ethan didn't notice it at first because he was busy running for his life, and he didn't notice it later because he was busy dealing with Char. Now that he was reminded, he realized that something was wrong...
It seemed that the moon was really missing.
"Are you dumb?"
Char waved her hand in front of Ethan, and the guy's eyes stopped moving.
Ethan said, "you said... If I were to report this..."
"What?"
"They will... let me become the Empress's personal attendant?"
Ethan was staring at him, drooling.
Char was speechless.
Even though he knew that this person had always desired to be promoted, he didn't expect that he would be obsessed to this extent.
"Shouldn't you be paying attention to Blue moon's whereabouts? "
"How am I supposed to pay attention to that?" Ethan replied. "Such a Big Moon disappeared just like that. This must be a territory that only the Night Lord can touch! This matter is for the higher-ups. We're just ants crawling on the ground. We don't have to worry about it. Besides, I'm still your prisoner. Can I say that this has nothing to do with you? If that's what I'm thinking, can you let me go?"
Char was speechless at his self-righteous attitude. This was the first time he had seen such an honest captive.
However, since he's so cooperative, that's good too.
Char pointed upwards. "I'll let you go back and report this. Just say that this has something to do with the surface. Understand? "
Ethan suddenly became alert.
"Really?"
"Why did you suddenly..." Char was stunned.
"This is different, Your Excellency." The cheeky smile on Ethan's face disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable stubbornness. "If my 'compatriots' are involved, it will not be a small matter. Then I have to find out the truth as to not cause panic. At the same time, I must be prepared to sacrifice myself."
After Char heard this, he actually felt a sense of respect for him.
"It's true, I'm not lying to you."
"Where's the evidence?" Ethan insisted.
"??"
Char pressed the sword down again.
"I say, have you forgotten that you are a captive?"
He had thought that this guy would be tough to the end, so he had just casually threatened him, but in the end, Ethan had backed off a second later.
"There's no need for evidence! I'll definitely repeat the details as you've requested!"
".."
CHar almost burst out laughing.
"Alright, if you meet the Empress, help me pass on a message. Tell her that 'the pure sun will make everything invisible'. "
"Alright!"
Ethan agreed.
He understood that he shouldn't ask more about things he shouldn't.
Who knew if the half-elf in front of him was the Empress 'illegitimate son?
Or perhaps... Old lover?
In short, there must be a story! Let's get out of here first!
"Then I can go now?" He probed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You can," he said.
Char waved his hand.
Ethan turned around uncertainly, turning back three times with every step he took to confirm that Char was standing there and watching him leave.
"It's really strange. They actually let me go so easily..."
He muttered in a low voice. When he felt that the distance between them was about right, he completely let down his guard.
"This is too strange ..."
He turned his head one last time, and with the help of the faint light from the fluorescent plants, he tried to see the silhouette in the distance, but... It actually disappeared?
Something's wrong!
Ethan suddenly sensed danger and was about to react when he was hit in the back of his head. His eyes rolled back and he fell down.
Char's figure slowly appeared, and he could not help but sigh. "Why are you so afraid of me even as a level 60 shadow samurai? Even if they had just checked my strength a little, it wouldn't have turned into such a serious mess."
In fact, he was even more nervous than Ethan during this period of time.
After all, the person in front of him was a senior shadow samurai. Although his social status was not very high, this was caused by his gender and family background.
In terms of strength, he was 10 levels higher than him.
If it wasn't for Ethan's preconceived notion that Char was a powerful existence, he might have run away long ago.
As long as he wanted to run, with Char's current level, there was nothing he could do to him.
But he didn't do that. He was scared to death.
The reason why Char said so much was to gather information and also to lower the other party's guard. Since Ethan thought Char was an expert, he definitely wouldn't think that an expert would do something like a sneak attack.
And then, he succeeded.
Char deftly undid Ethan's uniform and stripped him clean, leaving only his underwear. He changed into his uniform and put on the dark rose badge that symbolized his identity, as well as the daggers, sleeve arrows, hooks, and smoke bombs of the field shadow samurai. He then took out a face cloth to cover his face and painted the rest of his body brown. This way, even Queen Lucius herself would not be able to recognize that he was a half-elf from the surface.
Then, he wormed into the nearby bushes and carried the unconscious Ortlinde, before mounting the pitiful Nightingale.
"Ura-nusiris!"
The Nightingale took off shakily.
It couldn't do anything about the fact that the passenger on its back had been changed and there was an extra person.
..
Only five minutes later, Char heard three extremely short moans in front of him. The Nightingale suddenly stopped and flapped their wings.
The sound came from the front. In the dusky sky, it was impossible to tell who it was with the eyes. Fortunately, Nightingale had some characteristics of a bat.
"Enco-sari."
His Nightingale responded to the command, making two long and one short cries.
This was a simple way to confirm the identity of the two parties. After that, the other party lowered his hostility and began to ask questions.
"this is Sursee's special investigator in Blue Moon County. Please report your identity and serial number."
"My Lord, this is Ethan. the person in charge of The Buried Moon Mountain in blue Moon County..."
CJar's voice was hoarse, and he quickly reported a series of numbers.
"And finally, "Night of Roland, the Starlight is eternal". "
"Thanks for your hard work, Ethan."
The investigator controlled Nightingale to come in front of Char. From a distance, it looked as if there were two red dots approaching each other in the dark like will-o-wisps.
The status of such a confidential personnel was comparable to the Paladins of the Judgement Church. Not only had they received special training, but their bodies were also different from ordinary people. For example, with their exaggerated night vision, they could see the people in front of them clearly even if there was only a faint light.
But Char could not see him clearly.
However, when he heard this voice, he didn't even need to look to know who it was.
After the dark Elves were exiled, 14 new families rose up in Andaheim, taking over the 14 apostles' positions and surrounding the Queen. The one in front of him was one of them, the Bradleys, also known as the " Bloodseeker.
"Who's that person you're carrying?"
"I found an important witness at the scene, my Lord."
Char replied. Sensing Bradley's gaze behind him, he immediately straightened his back to block Ortlinde.
"I discovered this, my Lord." He straightened his neck and said.
"There's no need to be extra vigilant."
Bloodseeker laughed in disdain.
He had seen this kind of thing many times.
The 'Ethan' in front of him was undoubtedly a guy from a remote area who had never seen the world, and he was actually worried that he would snatch his credit... He was too naive.
It was true that such a thing would happen, but he had thought too simply of the means.
Merits had to be reported level by level. Did he think he would have a chance to see the Empress?
"Tell me, what happened over there?"
"It's very important, my Lord. The Blue Moon disappeared!" Char said word by word.
"What?"
Bradley was indeed shocked, and his voice changed.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I didn't find Blue Moon after the fall of the Bury Moon Mountain. I found a sword on the ground, and this woman was lying beside it.
Char answered honestly.
"What sword?"
"The sword is covered in flames, so I can't see it clearly." Char stammered. "But when I picked up this woman, she seemed to be talking in her sleep. Something like 'the birth of the holy sword',' the seven virtues', and so on..."
"Really!"
Bradley was shocked once again. He almost blurted out the words 'Holy Sword Narshil' , but when he thought of how the silly shadow servant in front of him seemed to know nothing, he held back his words.
Idiot, that's the real big head! What's the use of picking up a woman!
"My Lord, that sword... You have a background?" Shaya asked suspiciously.
"You don't have the right to ask about this kind of thing." Bradley said with a straight face.
As elves with a deep heritage, their libraries contained everything about the ancient civilization, including weapons of the level of the Holy Sword Narshil.
However, it was only a collection of the royal family. Commoners like Ethan had no chance to read it.
"Are there any other details?" He asked.
"It's like this, she did say these things... Moreover, the situation was very strange. I've been patrolling in the ridge of The Buried Moon Mountain, but I've never seen this sword or any traces of a human. But today, Blue Moon disappeared in just a short while, and then this sword and this woman appeared right below it, as if... It seems that she came from the surface. This could be a conspiracy of the humans, my Lord! We need to report this to Her Majesty!"
Char's words were sincere, and Bradley's mind was spinning quickly.
He quickly caught a few key points from Char's words, which was that there seemed to be some connection between the birth of the holy sword and the disappearance of the Blue Moon...
Could it be that Night Lord had sealed the holy sword Narshil, by using the Blue Moon?
Bradleys suddenly had an idea. He suddenly recalled the origin of this emergency order.
As one of the 14 apostles, his information channels were naturally not ordinary. He learned that the Night Lord had sent a divine decree to the Queen, and half of the 14 apostles had been sent to the moon burial Valley to investigate. As he happened to be on duty in the Blue Moon County, he had destroyed the local teleportation portal and tried to get there first. However, he had never expected that this guy would be faster than him...
The others would arrive in at most half an hour, followed by the large group of shadow guards.
With such a large formation, it was enough to see how strict and nervous the Night Lord's tone was with the divine decree.
Could it be...
Was this really the birth of the holy sword?
A chance!
This was definitely a great opportunity that could not be missed!
With just this battle, he would be able to leave all his competitors behind, not even their shadows could be seen!
Bradley's heart was surging with excitement. He immediately took off his gloves and rubbed them gently with his slender fingers. A bright flame appeared in the air.
Unlike the average Dark Elf, his skin was almost blue, and the lines were softer. However, his blood-red eyes were extremely terrifying.
He stared at Char, and although the latter did not dare to look him in the eye, he still stood in front of his 'prey' with his chest out.
Ha, ignorant.
Even so, Bradley was still able to clearly see Ortlinde's clothes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit's really the church's people...
He glanced at Ortlinde's obviously young face. He was surprised at her age, but at the same time, he was more certain.
There was probably such a guess. This was the mysterious power from the church, and perhaps its target was the holy sword that was about to be born!
Maybe...
Perhaps the holy sword was hidden in the Blue Moon?
"Have you seen the Night Lord?" He quickly asked.
"I don't have the honor..." Char shook her head and said in fear.
It was like this.
The church's power was split into two, one was fighting the Night Lord, and the other was actively touching the holy sword!
Such a young genius was most likely a mysterious force of the church.
The Valkyrie?
Right! I heard that a Valkyrie suddenly appeared on the surface!
"Take me to the place where you found that sword!" He grabbed Char's shoulder, and the two Nightingales were so close that they almost collided.
"Ah?" Char seemed to be shocked. "It's very dangerous there, my Lord!"
"Ignorant! Which opportunity isn't exchanged with your life?"
Bradley gave him a disdainful look.
"Besides, you were able to leave this place alive. What's so dangerous about that?"
"Yes, my lord..."
Char did not dare to say anything, but he agreed resentfully.
The two of them quickly returned, and Char deliberately made a small circle to prevent Bradley from discovering Ethan's corpse.
"That's the place,"
"I don't dare to go. Please be careful. That sword will shoot out an arc of light, and it'll hurt when you get hit!" He reminded her in a cowardly manner. "I was hit a few times!"
The more honest he was, the less Bradley could raise his guard.
How painful could it be?
A living example was placed in front of him. If the shadow samurai, who was also a simple-minded person, was not dead, what right did he have to kill Bloodseeker, who was known for her recovery ability?
Despite his thoughts, Bradley was not reckless. He put on his most powerful "Bloodseeker" equipment. the surface of this Crimson hollow Dragon Bone armor immediately seeped out a sticky blood aura, which intertwined into a suit of armor, firmly protecting him inside.
When everything was ready, Bradley went up!
He turned into a pool of blood, which was the Bloodseeker version of "shadow phase", and wriggled forward on the ground.
When he was about three meters away from the holy sword, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on the holy sword like a bag that suddenly opened!
As soon as he crossed the three-meter lightning line, the holy sword immediately shot out an arc of light with a "pa" sound!
It was like a whip made of high-quality cow tendon had ruthlessly struck a puddle of mud. Bradley was instantly whipped all over the ground!
As expected!
Char was even more certain of her guess. This was indeed the sword-sealing maid's "Forcing a 50-50" power!
Bradley, a level 75 elite creature, had been whipped to such a miserable state, but he hadn't been killed. This fully explained the problem!
However, this was not the end. Bloodseeker was pulled out of its shuttling mode, and it was dumbfounded such a fierce attack didn't kill the kid, how was that possible?
Before he could react, the second attack was thrown at him in less than half a second!
Bloodseeker didn't have much time to think. He immediately turned around and tried to escape, but at this moment, an ice wall was pulled up from the ground and blocked him.
Damn it!
Bradley was blocked for a brief moment, and the holy sword's attack arrived!
This time, it was his back that suffered a heavy blow. His entire body was whipped until something was wrong. He felt dizzy and his vision was blurry. He vomited a mouthful of blood and saw stars.
However, with the force of the whip, he managed to smash through the ice wall and saw Char, who had yet to put down his hand.
Bradley was furious,"you brat-"
"You can't give up, my Lord! I'll help you!"
Char's eyes were filled with sincerity. At the same time, a strong wind was released from his hands, blowing Bradley, who was just three meters away from the line of life and death, back!
Feeling the piercing sword light behind him, Bradley's eyes bulged. "Ethan, you..."
"Good luck, my Lord!"
