Chapter 344

He stood up, walked to the black box beside him, and casually opened the lid of the box. Several white lights suddenly rushed out, shining the whole room brightly. The blood pool not far away was illuminated by light and immediately dried up. The body screamed and soon turned into smoke and disappeared, as if a vampire had met the sun. Bergram reached into the black box and grabbed two shiny things, and then the box no longer flashed. He went to the edge of the table and put down the things. There was a black fog in Stux's hand, which scattered the light. He saw a sword and a scepter on the table, which was all made of crystal, flowing milky white energy. Stux was very surprised and said, "This is the Sword of Light and the Pope's Scepter. Where did you get it?" Bergram laughed and said, "Where else can it go? Of course, it's the holy mountain of light. Stux looked at it for a moment and said, "Are they the Holy Grail you chose?" That's right," Bergram nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Unfortunately, I thought they would definitely work, but I was wrong." Stux was surprised and said, "How did you know?" Bergram explained, "Because of an accident. We first used them to store magic and fighting spirit, which was very successful. No matter how much the strength was increased, it could not cause any damage to the two pieces of equipment, but after we actually summoned it, we found that they could not accommodate the power of all attributes. Stux was shocked and said, "Have you summoned?" Bergram smiled and said, "It's not the kind you think, it's just a small experiment. We have done a total of five tests and failed three times. The power attributes of the summoned object are relatively special, and the two pieces of equipment can't accommodate them at all. Stux frowned and said, "So, there is likely to be a problem with our call this time?" Bergram shook his head and corrected, "It's not possible, but it's very possible. And you should know the consequences of failure. At that time, the whole world may be destroyed. I can't take this risk.

Stux looked directly at Bergram and said, "So what do you mean by asking me to give up?" Bergram looked calm and said slowly, "Your Highness, we are good friends, and you have saved my life. I don't want to say that, but I must consider the people of Sipros. In addition, I am a member of the mainland human race after all. They don't have their own independent world like you, and they won't be harmed by the summoner. He paused and said, "You should know that this research took us ten years and is of great significance. In fact, we don't want to give up, but we must take into account the probability of success and the consequences of failure." The undead mentors on the side nodded one after another, and one said, "That's what we mean. Although we have always been regarded as traitors to the human race, it is fundamentally no different from the human race. There is no 100% success rate. I will never agree to do it." Stux looked at the crowd and frowned, sitting there without saying a word. Bergram looked at him for a long time, sighed, and asked everyone to leave. He was about to leave. Stux stopped him with a word: "What if I can find the Holy Grail?"

Everyone turned around and looked at him in surprise. Bergram came to his senses and said without hesitation, "If you can find it, the summoning will naturally go as scheduled. But it can't even be the Sword of Light and the Pope's Scepter. What else can serve as the Holy Grail? Stux smiled and stood up and said, "Continue to prepare for the ceremony while I'm away." He walked to the door and said, "In seven days, I will bring the Holy Grail back." Bergram wondered, "Are you really sure?" Stux laughed and said, "Don't forget that I was the one who first studied the great summoning ceremony. Let me borrow your bone dragon--" He said and went straight out. When everyone chased out of the door, they saw a huge white bone dragon rising from the top of the nearby tower in the distance and flying to the southwest. Stux was sitting on the back of the bone dragon, and his robe crackled in the wind. An undead mentor whose hair is white, but looks similar to that of a middle-aged man, asked tentatively, "Big mentor, do we really need to prepare?" Bergram said decisively, "Of course, if you are not sure, the prince will not talk nonsense. We will immediately set out for the island of the Dead. Tomek, contact all the magicians above the level of magic tutors in the scattered world and ask them to arrive quickly. All the tutors were excited when they heard the order. Tomerck said yes and left in a hurry.

Bergram looked at the sky and was also a little excited. He said to himself, "Your Highness, don't let me down."

......

The dew gradually accumulates and becomes heavy. The tender green leaves can no longer bear its weight. It turns into a drop of dewdrop falling from the tip of the leaf, falling on the palm of the white jade below, blooming a splash. Against the surrounding green leaves and red flowers and the sunlight sprinkled through the branches and leaves above the dense forest, it looks extremely beautiful, but those who appreciate all this are expressionless. This person is the owner of the palm, a girl about 16 years old. Her appearance was originally amazingly beautiful, but her two star-like eyes were not flexible, and even lifeless, giving people a feeling of being alive and dead. Far behind her is an exquisite tree house hollowed out by a big tree, covered with green leaves. It is spacious but small. From the window full of vines, you can see a small wooden bed in the innermost part, which is equivalent to the height of a girl. A little further outside, there is a wooden table carved directly from several, and there are several wooden chairs on the side. On the other side of the chair, there are several things that look like children's toys. The girl stood among the trees in a daze, as if she didn't know that her clothes had been soaked with dew.

"Aesila!" A soft female voice sounded not far away, "What are you doing?" The girl reacted and turned her head in confusion. She looked at a bow and arrow with green leaves on her back and a pointed-eared girl holding a barnacle box in her arm and smiled, but her smile was extremely reluctant and stiff. She stammered, "You...Youni...Si..." She was called Eunice Girl. He walked nearby and touched the previous girl. Her hands were full of dew. She couldn't help scolding, "Astila, you are all wet. Go back quickly and I'll help you change your clothes. Estila was ignorantly led to the wooden house by Dibis, and her eyes were quite puzzled, as if she could not understand Eunice's intention at all. Eunice seemed to be familiar with her and was not surprised by her reaction. She just pulled him into the room, put down the vine box, took out a set of clothes from the wardrobe, changed it for Estella, and then helped her sit down in a chair. Everything seemed to be taking care of a child. In fact, Estila's actions except age are extremely naive, worse than a child.

Eunice opened the rattan box, took out a few small snacks wrapped in green leaves, and a few brightly colored fruits, and put them in front of Estella. Estella thought about it for a long time, but still didn't know what to do. Eunice sat opposite, holding her cheek, and looking at Estella, who was like a baby. She couldn't help but ooze tears from the corners of her eyes, and remembered what her mother said: "Astila is dead. Now she is just a torso." Eunice shook her head vigorously and handed the food to Estella's mouth. She smelled the fragrance, which seemed to arouse her appetite and bit it one by one. After serving Estella finished eating, Eunice began to talk to Estella. Estella just opened her eyes wide and looked at her and didn't know what she was talking about. In the afternoon, Eunice said goodbye to Estella and took the rattan box and walked to the forest. After a while, the forest erased her traces. Estella sat in a chair and looked at the forest in the distance, as if she couldn't understand how Eunice disappeared.

About half an hour after Eunice walked, a strong wind suddenly over the forest, and then a flame fell from the sky and fell on the forest area where Estella was located, wrapping the forest, the wooden house, and Estila herself. The flames quickly burned out, and the forest was much wider. A bone dragon flashed its wings above and slowly descended. In the same place of the tree house, Estila stood still, her clothes had burned out, and her body was full of soot, but her body was not hurt at all, and her eyes were at a loss, and she did not know fear. Stux jumped off the back of the bone dragon, looked at it twice, pulled off the robe, put it on Estella, hugged it and left. At this moment, a sharp arrow was shot from afar, which was extremely accurate to the position of the Tux temple. The speed was extremely fast and silent, which was really terrible to the extreme. But is Stux the same as a mortal? He casually stretched out his hand and folded the long arrow into two sections and threw it on the ground. Looking into the distance, there was an angry face of Eunice, and another arrow put on her bowstring and shouted harshly, "Who are you? Why do you want to take Estella out? Stux completely turned abish at it and took Eunice's two angry arrows. He had come to the bone dragon, stepped on his feet and flew to the back of the bone dragon. The bone dragon fanned its wings, soared into the air and went to the northeast. Eunice shot with a lot of arrows, and there was no trace of Stux.

She stamped her feet, ran to the forest in the distance, and quickly entered the forest. After a moment in the forest, there was a sudden enlightenment in front of them. A large number of huge ancient trees and countless tree houses appeared, as well as many people with sharp ears. This is the central settlement of the elf in the Crescent Forest. Unice didn't care how to say hello to the clan. She went straight to the largest tree, jumped up, jumped a few times, and entered the hall above. There were dozens of men and women standing there. Most of the elders of the clan had arrived. She was stunned. She walked forward and found that everyone looked around a crystal ball. It was the bone dragon and Stux, Estella sat in front of Stux with blank eyes. Eunice walked to a woman in her twenties with a laurel crown and said, "Mom, Estella has been robbed." The woman said, "I already know." Eunice said anxiously, "Then why don't you send someone to save her?" The woman said, "Do you know who that man is?" Eunice said, "No matter who he is, Estella can't help it. She is the one who once saved our elf family." An elder next to him said, "Don't embarrass the queen. This man is Stux, the Duke of the Demon World, the commander of the Demon Army. We can't afford to provoke him." Eunice was shocked and said, "Isn't Estella hopeless?" The queen said, "Don't be too sad. I can't think of a reason why Stux killed her. What's more, Estella's spirit has long been dead, and death may be a relief for her. Eunice shouted, "You are too cold-blooded. Is this a proud elf? No matter what she has become, our elf clan has always existed until now because of her. How can we not be saved?

The queen and the elders were speechless and silent for a moment. Eunice looked at them for a long time and shook her head disappointedly.

......

The bone dragon was extremely fast, and it only took a few days to return to Sipulos. After learning that Bergram had gone to the Isle of the Dead, he drove the bone dragon to continue to fly northeast. The Hedix Empire was originally located in the northeast of the mainland, and West Prous was in the north of Hedix, so it was close to the northeast ocean. The bone dragon flew out of the land and came to the endless sea. After flying for half a day, it saw a big island filled with gray fog from afar. Inside, the mountain shadows are heavy, undulating, and flying closer. You can see buildings like ancient castles, as well as countless tall dead wood. A group of bats greeted him, led the way in front of the bone dragon, led the Stux over a castle, and descended on a platform at the top of the castle. Stux took Estilla's hand, jumped off the back of the bone dragon, and walked to the door beside him. Entering the door, he took the spiral staircase to somewhere in the castle. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bergram standing alone by the window, holding a white bone wand in his hand and pressing a big book in his hand, chanting a spell. The black gas rose from the writing, lingered around him, and did not dissipate for a long time. Estella looked at the black gas, and there was doubt in her eyes again.

Bergram inhaled the black gas into his mouth, and his expression returned to calm. He turned around and was about to speak, but suddenly noticed Estella. He was stunned and came to his senses after a long time. Although he was curious about Estella, he was more concerned about the ceremony and asked, "Your Highness, where is the Holy Grail?" Stux pointed to Estella and said, "That's it." Bergram was stunned and said, "She is..." Stux said, "30,000 years ago, the saint designated by our demon clan in the world is also the saint of the Protoss." Bergram was surprised and said, "Is that the one who was consecrated by the two god kings?" Stux smiled and said, "Who else can it be?" Bergram carefully observed Estilla for a moment and exclaimed, "I didn't expect her to be alive..." His tone turned again and said, "But why do you think she can act as the Holy Grail?" Stux said: "Because after receiving the consecration, there are two forces of light and darkness in her body. These two forces are constantly in conflict. Although she can't exert the original ability of the saint, it gives her the most powerful living body and permanent life. According to the historical records of our family, she is immune to all non-physical attacks, so I Think about it, we can think of her as a good container. Bergram looked at it for a moment and let out a black gas. He circled the wand a few times and strengthened it a little. He hit Estella. The black gas bombarded her body, but Estella had no reaction and was still at a loss. He tried several more times, and each time he increased the attack, but Estella always regarded the attack as nothing. A smile gradually appeared on Bergram's face and said, "Let's test it immediately."

......

In the south of Heidix, where the Arda Empire is compared with the Crescent Forest, a knight with a cross mark on his shoulder was galloping and rushing into the forest. He ran for a long time, the woods were getting dense, and the sky was getting dark, so he got off his horse and walked alone into the forest alone. Under the glow of the new moon over the forest, the leaves emit crystal green light, which makes the forest quite bright. The man walked in the middle of the night and gradually went deep into the forest. He only felt that his eyes were getting more and more chaotic, and the road became more and more difficult to find, so he found a big tree beside him and slept all night. In the early morning of the next day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a young elf standing in front of me, aimed at his chest with a bow and arrow. The man was scared, and his mind suddenly woke up. He quickly said, "I'm not the enemy. I'm the messenger of the temple. I have something important to inform you." The female elf was very simple. She quickly put away her bow and arrow and said, "What's the evidence for this?" The man took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the elf, and said, "This is a letter from the Pope to your queen."

The girl took the letter and glanced at it casually. She knew that it was mostly true, so she waved, "Come with me. I'll take you to see my mother." The man was stunned and quickly followed up and said, "I'm disrespectful. It turns out that you are the princess." The elf said, "We don't have a princess." The two chatted as they walked, and soon came to the big tree of the elf family's discussion. The queen took the letter, read it for a long time, and said, "Younis, go and call the elders." Eunice answered and went out. After a while, all the elders arrived. The queen said, "The Great Mage of the Undead in the Temple of Light is being concentrated on a large scale. At present, it may be the Island of the Dead." A male elder said, "These undead mages are really troublesome. Do you know what they are going to do?" The queen said, "I don't know, but the temple suspects that they have made some big moves, hoping to join hands with us to find out the matter. What do you think?" Another elder said, "If you want to find out this matter, why do you want to come to us? Although we elves are hidden trails, we may not be better than human thieves outside the forest. The queen said, "Of course, it's not just for reconnaissance. If you find any conspiracy, you must stop it. They are worried that they don't have enough combat power, so they ask for help from our clan." Everyone discussed it. Some people advocated help, while others insisted but firmly opposed it. Gradually, the opposing opinions prevailed. The messenger saw that the mission of moving the rescue was about to fail, and the promotion was about to be ruined. He quickly said, "The conspiracy prepared by the undead may not be so simple. In the past few years, we have stolen two things, the Sword of Light and the Pope's Scepter..." The elves were stunned, and someone rushed to say, "Is this kind of heavy treasure stolen?" The messenger nodded and said, "And we have enough evidence to think that the treasure is a undead family. We don't think there can be any connection between the two."
