PFC Chapter 301 Dark Elf
Chapter 301 Dark Elf
"...Elf?!" Lilith widened her eyes, but didn't the elf leave long ago?
She suddenly remembered the twins who died unexpectedly. They were also believers of the Dark Moon Goddess...
"Is it because of the pair of princes? Is this revenge from the Kingdom of Mulet?" Lilith frowned and guessed in a low voice.
"...What?" Woody's face was clearly confused, as if he didn't understand what Lilith meant. However, the smoke rising from the kitchen in front of him made him realize that Lilith was about to reach her destination, and this distance was too short...
Although he was reluctant, he still said, "It's time for you to leave, Lilith."
Lilith raised her head and looked at the little knight in front of her.
"Those things are very dangerous, very dangerous..." He repeated it twice, still frightened by what he had seen and heard. "The forest is their territory, and the dark elves become stronger during the full moon. No one can see them, and even magic can hardly hit them, making them very difficult to capture. So we will place traps all over this place, and if you stay, you may get hurt by mistake."
"...Why do you have to arrest them?" Lucas, who is also a pagan, frowned.
"Isn't it obvious?" Woody clenched his sword, his eyes firm. "They have committed so many sins that they have threatened the security of the Gaia Empire. Maintaining the security of the empire is the responsibility of our Knights of Light!"
Lucas looked at Lilith suspiciously: Is your friend serious?
Lilith glared back: It’s none of your business!
"I have to return to the team immediately. I can't take you out of the forest, Lilith." Woody's tone was full of regret and reluctance. "But when we came here, we opened a straight road to facilitate the carriage to travel. All the dangers along the way have been cleared. While there are no new monsters occupying the place, you can follow the road we opened and get out of the forest tomorrow."
"Aren't you leaving?" Lilith ran into an old acquaintance. She had a lot of things on her mind but she didn't know where to start. They were about to leave again. "Didn't you say they would be in more danger during the full moon? Why don't you leave?"
"Although it's dangerous, it's also a rare chance to capture them. They usually hide very deeply, and only at this time will they have the courage to show up. The last time we tracked them was during a full moon, so those adults won't let us retreat." Woody pursed his lips.
Isn't that just... using their lives to pay for it? Just like the vanguard team buried under the blanket? Lilith looked at her innocent friend in front of her, feeling a little angry.
"I have to go, Lilith." Woody didn't waste any more time and said again, "Let's go while it's still early!"
"You...you must pay attention to safety. Your life is also your life. See you in the High Court." Lilith chased out two steps and warned seriously.
Woody stopped and grinned, finally showing some of his childhood naivete. "Well! See you in Highgarden, Lilith!"
Then he trotted towards the clean spring and disappeared in the green shadows of the jungle in a few breaths.
After entering the camp, the companions had already gotten up and were eating breakfast while listening to Lucas' story.
"Dead? All dead?!" Hannah's face turned pale with fear.
"Fortunately, we explored the route ahead of time and had breakfast in advance." Lucas sat next to Bobby and finally relaxed after feeling the warmth of his companion. "You are lucky not to have to face those scenes directly..."
"Are dark elves real? There are actually elves in the Gaia Empire?" Jaina frowned and didn't even notice that the bread on the fork was burnt.
"Woody wouldn't lie to me." Lilith believed her childhood friend.
"Whether they are elves or not, they are all very dangerous." Ian rarely spoke, attracting everyone's attention. He explained, "They should all have been killed in one blow."
Because he slept very soundly last night and did not hear anyone's painful prayers before death...
"Should we really leave then? Maybe, maybe those dark elves have a grudge against the Knights of Light and it has nothing to do with us..." Bobby still didn't give up.
"No, we have to go--" Lilith said in a deep voice. She raised her hand and released the gargoyle. It still maintained its previous appearance, squatting quietly, and the bloody handprint on its face was clearly visible in the morning light.
"What is this?!" Lucas stood up in surprise.
"I didn't understand before why that blood line was pointing to us. Now I understand. That thing was not pointing at me, but it--" Lilith looked at the motionless gargoyle with a heavy face.
"Those dark elves came to our camp last night?!" Lulu guessed in a trembling voice, causing a group of people to gasp.
"This is a threat—" Lilith asserted, "If we don't leave, it might be our turn tonight."
The previous team didn't even make it through the days before the full moon, let alone tonight? In such an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, even if the elves' positions were unclear, Lilith couldn't risk everyone's lives.
"Pack your things, everyone. We'll be leaving soon." Lilith stood up decisively and was the first to walk to her tent to put her equipment into the ring one by one.
With her leading the way, the others no longer hesitated and began to help their respective guardians pack their bags. The advantage of having more space props became apparent. When they left the small camp, they traveled light and soon found the newly opened road that Woody mentioned.
Tall trees that had grown for thousands of years were destroyed row by row of violence. The air was filled with the special scent of cut wood and grass. The wet ground was full of deep ruts. A group of people walked along the ruts and sighed, "They are really fighting hard. They don't even rest during Hanukkah just to catch a few pagans."
"It's the same for us," Bobby complained dejectedly. "In order to gain more combat experience, we have already run to such a remote place. If we were any further away, we would have reached the God-Forsaken Land, but in the end we still ran into these Knights of Light. Oh my God, is the God of Light really watching me all the time?"
He looked up at the sky in silence.
"In that case, why don't we go to the God-forsaken Land?" Sean suddenly spoke up.
