Chapter 193: Song of Destruction Prelude (3k)
"Why are you saying thank you to me?"
Moon's heartfelt thanks made Roselorian stand up slightly surprised.
And without waiting for Moon to answer, the man who had always stood behind Moon and supported all his wonderful ideas directly said what Moon was thinking.
"You think this can be salvaged."
"No, you want to leave?!"
It seemed like a very radical change of thought, but it was proof of Roselorian's deep understanding of Moon.
Ever since she was given to the Eternal Queen, she has always stood behind him, understanding his thoughts, interpreting his ideas, and executing his will.
The name Shadow actually means that she is the shadow of the king.
And how can a person hide from his own shadow? !
So at this moment, Moon's thoughts were almost completely exposed to Roselorian.
Even though he just said thank you.
The moment he realized this, countless ways of dealing with the situation emerged in Moon's mind.
Deny, pretend not to understand, say nothing, get angry.
But after quickly going through these methods.
Moon finally chose to admit it.
Because it can't be hidden.
The moment the other party realized it, Moon belatedly realized how well the goddess in front of him knew him.
"It was me who trampled on the original iron law. It was me who caused everything that happened now. You and Y'k'trashil, I can't say that you did anything wrong."
"Because I chose you. Knowing the iron laws of the God King!"
Roselorian had already walked in front of Morn. She stared at him with her emerald eyes and said:
"So once you knew we were incompatible, you were going to leave?"
"Because this is your only way to ease our relationship?"
"You've fabricated your departure onto some terrible enemy, forcing us to stand together until we can find you?"
"Your Majesty, am I right?"
Almost all of them are correct, the only thing missing is the process that cannot be directly launched with such a small thing.
She really knows herself very well.
"Yes, I do think so."
After Moon said this, both of them fell into a long silence.
As the sun approaches the west.
Of the two people who had been silent until this point, Roselorian was the first to break the stalemate:
"Perhaps, I should try to continue acting, just as I expected at the beginning."
The Mirror of Pilgrimage has been set up, and she can indeed perfectly play the role of the Holy Tree.
Even the other elves did not notice a problem at this point. They prayed to the holy tree and received the response they had not received for a long, long time.
It’s just about the most important person, her king.
In the end, she failed to deceive the other party.
So Moon immediately discovered the problem.
So much so that the relationship between the two people became like this.
"Don't think like that. You should know that the only thing you can't hide from is me."
Lothlórien was her own god, and so was the sacred tree.
How could the king not recognize his own God?
Moon's words made the beautiful elf in front of him smile even more sadly:
"Are you still trying to comfort me at this point?"
"But the more you say this, the more I can't accept this ridiculous situation and my own failure."
Moon also lowered his head:
"sorry."
"Please stop saying sorry. I was the one who was out of line in this matter. You know that very well."
"But the fault was mine."
Among the three people, Shengshu chose to give in, as long as someone could stand by his side instead of him.
Shadow chose to move forward, as long as she could truly stand by his side.
Moon chose to forgive, because it was obvious that he was the only one who made the mistake of knowing the iron rule but actively ignoring it.
The atmosphere fell into silence again.
Neither of them knew how to start the conversation.
But as long as time keeps moving forward, the facts will not disappear because of escape.
So after another long silence, Moon spoke again:
"There's really no chance of acceptance, is there?"
Shadow smiled bitterly:
"I don't even know if I could have kept hiding instead of killing her outright."
"I can't accept it. I don't know if it's because of the iron law or what. I just know that I can't accept it."
"I have been restraining myself since I completed the Twelve Trials."
"It's a strange feeling. Before I succeeded, I was very clear about my position and my faith in her was very devout. But after I completed the trial and became one with her."
"That feeling is like a nightmare that has taken root in my heart."
"That feeling, no, it was me, I kept saying to myself: 'Kill her!'"
"But at that time, I was still able to restrain myself because you didn't come back, and because I didn't know whether I would need her strength in the end."
"But now that you're back, I no longer have any way or reason to restrain myself."
Shadow's cry from the bottom of his heart made Moon feel indescribably frightened.
This was the first time he experienced what an iron rule was.
I have underestimated all of this in the past.
It's too lazy and frivolous.
But what should I do now?
His thoughts were completely exposed to the Phantom. It was fine in the short term, but if things went on for a long time, how could the relationship between the Phantom and the Holy Tree remain the same? -
Outside the Emerald Palace, Trapolis Dusk was looking at the sacred tree in front of him with a raised eyebrow.
He could not see anything unusual about the holy tree, except that the tree suddenly stopped responding to his prayers.
It was obvious that not long ago, with the return of the king, the sacred tree returned to its original appearance and began to respond to the prayers of the elves.
But now it’s gone.
At first, Trapolis thought it might just be a coincidence.
After all, the sacred tree still stood before them.
But when he tried to pray to the shadow, there was no response!
At this moment, he realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty and Lord Shadow, where was the last time you saw each other?"
He asked his companion beside him:
"The guards said it was the Emerald Palace. Lord Shadow sent all the guards away from the palace. At the same time, the guards also reported that they saw His Majesty go to the Emerald Palace."
"How long."
The other party glanced at the sky and said:
"From this morning till now."
"So long? I need to go to the Jade Palace."
"Now?! My old friend, you'd better think about it again."
His companions were surprised by Trapolis's answer.
"We didn't find anything truly unusual. It's possible that the two majesties just wanted to be alone together."
This answer made Trapolis hesitate, but soon, a high elf brought a message that surprised them all:
"The White King personally attacked the Seven Hills?!"
"Yes, sir, the entire Seven Hills is now a sea of fire."
"Why do you still want to attack the dwarves? The White Dynasty has no grudge against the dwarves!"
Trapolis's companion said this in surprise.
And Trapolis beside him asked directly:
"Does Your Majesty know?"
"No, I think this should be reported to the adults first."
"That's great. I will go to the Jade Palace and report to the two Majesties in person."
With a legitimate reason, Trapolis immediately rushed to the Emerald Palace.
And he went straight in and found the two relatively silent supreme beings.
From a distance, just from this atmosphere, Trapolis knew that the most terrible thing had finally happened.
After pausing for a moment, he continued to move forward without hesitation.
Then he knelt on one knee at the foot of the stairs and said to Moon:
"Your Majesty, I am sorry to bother you at this time, but I am here to report something."
"The Seven Hills were attacked. The White King himself attacked the old capital of the Dwarves."
"According to the information we received, the entire Seven Hills is now a sea of fire, and even the palace left by King Turin has been completely destroyed."
This news almost made Moon's brain go blank.
Why did they attack the Seven Hills anyway?!
And it was the White King who attacked personally? !
"What about the dwarves of Seven Hills?!"
Trapolis said directly:
"Less than one in a thousand. It is said that a large number of women and children once tried to escape through the secret passage that symbolizes the friendship between the vampires and the dwarves."
"But waiting for them outside the door were soldiers from the Pure White Dynasty."
Moon's voice was trembling a little when he heard it.
"The Seven Hills dwarves were almost exterminated? And the Seven Hills were also destroyed?"
Why is this happening?
I failed to protect the sacred tree, and I also failed to protect my dearest friends? !
"Why did they attack the Seven Hills?! What was the reason Aurora attacked the Seven Hills?!"
Trapolis couldn't help but glance at the King, this was originally just an excuse for him to meet the two Supremes.
Dwarves and elves have nothing to do with each other.
The death of aliens means little to them.
But Your Majesty seems to care very much? !
But he continued:
"There's no reason."
"The White King directly led the Pure White Dynasty's fleet to openly attack the entire Seven Hills."
"Sending those women and children to the secret passage is the best effort of the Seven Hills Dwarves."
"But even so, it won't help."
"They were attacked by a true king and his guards."
"Honestly, unless King Durin is still alive, there is no way the dwarves can stop them."
An attack without any reason?!
This is not at all like the style of that woman Aurora.
Although she only said she loved him, but because of this she cared more about legitimacy than anyone else.
Just as Moon kept thinking about what was going on and what he should do.
Roselorian behind him said directly to Trapolis:
"Send a notice to Aurora that the remaining Seven Hills refugees will be protected by us."
"But, my lord."
Trapolis felt extremely puzzled. Not only did the dwarves have no relationship with the elves, but the relationship was even quite bad. After all, the dwarves had never liked the elves.
Shadow Sun looked at him seriously and said:
"Terrapolis, this is God's will."
Trapolis had no more comments and bowed and left.
After Trapolis left, Shadow Sun, who was still standing behind Moon, asked Moon:
"Please tell me why you care about Qiqiu, and also tell me what you really look like now!"
