Dark Redemption of Elf

Chapter 63: Death of the Forest Elf

"Yes, yes." The bandits nodded repeatedly, turned and walked towards the dungeon, followed closely by the four of them.

This is a cave, surrounded by cold rocks, and there are curses coming from inside from time to time.

"Let me out, you damn bandits. We are special envoys sent by the royal capital. If your majesty finds out, we will definitely not bypass you."

Hearing these calls, Iluli couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Eluli, slow down." Ayton followed closely.

But the surrounding area was filled with humans, separated by iron pillars. Iluli glanced at it and continued walking deeper.

"Ariel, watch these bandits and Coco." Ayton was worried that Eluli was in danger, so he said to Ariel and followed closely.

"Oh, I got it." Ariel glanced at Coco. If she hadn't been afraid that she wouldn't be able to watch these bandits alone, she would have followed.

"Your Highness...Princess," a surprised voice came.

Ariel turned around and saw a young man wearing luxurious clothes with his hands and feet bound by chains looking at Coco in shock.

"Claire? It's actually you." Coco also looked at the young man in surprise.

"Oh, it turns out you guys know each other, relatives or friends. Take this girl away quickly. She has caused us a lot of trouble along the way... No, you just called her princess?" Ariel suddenly thought of that princess. His Highness said in surprise, looking at Lan Keke with suspicion: "She is like this...returning the princess."

In Ariel's opinion, princesses are generally very capable people, not as useless as Lan Keke.

"How bold, how dare you be unreasonable to Her Highness the Princess?" A middle-aged knight next to him shouted loudly. Although he was very surprised that Her Highness the Princess was here, her familiar staff could not be fake at all. As a subordinate, she must protect the royal family's rights. Dignity is what he must do.

"It's you, you're the one who threatened me and my brother with the sword. Now it's in my hands. Tell me how you want to die." Ariel saw Bard with heavy chains on his hands. The knight leader who wanted to start a dispute with them before.

"you……"

"Can you let them go? They are all special envoys sent by the royal capital to the Thorn Territory. They should be of some help to our purpose," Lan Keke whispered to Ariel.

Ariel looked around. There were only a dozen or so knights left out of the original twenty, and most of them were injured. Their armors had been taken off and their weapons were placed aside. No bandits were seen using them in the battle just now. Those who use these weapons should be afraid of exposing them to the envoys.

"Let's wait until my brother comes back." Ariel waved her hand. She didn't have much hatred for these knights. At most, she wanted to tease them. I heard in the dark cave that these people on horses are generally the main force of humans. , now it seems like this.

"Ahhh!" Suddenly Iluli's miserable scream came from the cave. Ariel's heart tightened, but after thinking about it, Ayton was still beside him. Looking at the five bandits who were pale and almost collapsed on the ground, she seemed to understand something.

Deep in the bandit's cave, there is still a torch burning here, providing weak light.

In the flickering light, a naked forest elf was lying on her back on a pile of weeds. If it weren't for her pointed long ears and emerald green hair, Ayton wouldn't have been able to tell that she was actually a human being. Forest elf!

Because her whole body was covered with scars, whip marks, scratches, bite marks, and burns crisscrossed all over her body. Almost no complete piece of skin could be seen. Her pupils were sharply dilated, and she was unwilling to give up.

Ayton looked around and saw a bucket, a table filled with torture instruments and a set of handcuffs and shackles. It seems that these bandits tried their best to torture the poor forest elf and vent their desires.

Even death has never given this miserable soul peace...

"Why..." Iluli tried to hold back her tears. This forest elf was already dead, and died in endless humiliation and anger.

Ayton: "..."

"Why...why is this happening?" Iluli's hands glowed green and attached to the forest elf's chest, trying to heal her physical scars, but these life elements had little effect on the corpse that had no breath of life. The wound still cannot heal.

"I originally thought...as long as we don't hurt others, others won't come...hurt us." Iluli used healing magic with all her strength on her own, not caring about the massive loss of her own magic power.

"That's why I...only learn life magic"

"But why...these humans..." Iluli closed her eyes.

Ayton sighed: "Isis, the goddess of life... has given you perfect looks, but this is not only a gift, but also a burden."

"Some greedy humans are jealous of your appearance, so they want to capture you and sell you to some nobles to play with in order to satisfy the vanity of their own race."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Eluli's mouth: "Just to satisfy the vanity of my own race, my people...then I would rather not have this appearance."

"Why not?" Ayton gently put his hand on Iluli's small shoulder: "The goddess of life not only gave you a beautiful appearance, she also gave you nature affinity, wood element, and life magic proficiency. , proficient in archery... so many skills are just for you to protect yourselves."

"And... no race has suffering, there will definitely be more of this happening within human beings."

At this time, Iluli's magic power has also been exhausted, and the consumption of healing magic with both hands is much greater than that with one hand. The forest elf's wounds miraculously healed a little, but she still has no breath of life, and her life magic has not yet surpassed the sky. To the point where he can be brought back to life.

"I know," Iluli whispered in a tearful voice, turning her head to look at Ayton. Her originally bright green eyes were now full of sadness and pain, but without the fire of hatred that Ayton least wanted to see, he I don't want the originally kind-hearted Iluli to lose her mind because of this incident and become hating all humans.

"Let's bury her," Ayton comforted in a low voice.

Iluli nodded, took off the long green cloak behind her, and gently covered the forest elf. The two of them were silent, carefully lifting it up and walking towards the entrance of the cave.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Ariel asked softly as she watched Ayton and Iluli carrying a body covered by a green cloak.

Ayton shook his head and motioned for her to stop talking.

When passing by the five bandits who were paralyzed on the ground, Ayton said coldly: "These five bandits are useless, kill them, and remember not to dirty your hands."

Ariel smiled prettyly: "Okay"

The five bandits instantly turned pale and their eyes were horrified.

He looked at Ariel, but the latter raised his knife and beheaded her one by one.

This made Lan Keke next to him unable to resist retching. Even the knights in the cell showed some discomfort. They had seen people killing people, but they had never seen them killed so casually. They seemed not to regard them as human beings at all... …but domestic animals.

Not only did Bud shed a cold sweat behind his back, but luckily he didn't conflict with them in the first place. These two people were obviously deliberately looking for trouble, and then they had a reason to kill.

Outside the cave, Ayton chose a leeward place under a tree far away from the water source, dug a large pit with the Nether Sword, and carefully lowered the forest elf down, hoping that she could rest in peace here.

As the soil gradually covered the green cloak, Iluli finally couldn't help but shed tears. After more than two months, she finally met a member of her race, but she ended up like this.

"Pray for her, hope her soul can rest in peace," Ayton comforted.

Iluli nodded, closed her eyes, knelt on the ground, and prayed devoutly for the suffering girl with the blessings of the forest elves. The warm wind at night blew her long hair, carrying her thoughts with her. To the lost spirits far away.

Ariel also came over at this time. She understood what happened and watched them quietly.

Behind her were the dozen or so knights who had put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and were guarding Lan Keke on both sides.

At this time, Claire and the others were shocked. As soon as they came out, they saw more than twenty bandits lying on the ground, lifeless. Basically, they were all killed with one knife. Only a small number of them seemed to have been killed by Princess Lan Keke. Killed by water magic.

However, they did not dare to relax their vigilance. There were 30 other bandits missing, and their leader was not there either.

"Your Highness Princess, we'd better leave quickly, otherwise it won't be good until their main force comes back," Claire said in a low voice next to Coco.

"Main force? Are you talking about the other thirty bandits? They are all dead, in the hands of the four of us." Lan Keke said proudly, although Ayton and Ariel were basically the ones who killed them. But she shamelessly forced a quarter of the credit to herself.

"What!? Is the fourth-level leader dead too?" Claire couldn't help but glance at the other three people. He still knew how much the princess weighed. Although the magic she released was good, she was still a palace mage. Those who practiced under the guidance had no actual combat experience at all. It was absolutely impossible to kill those thirty bandits, so it could only be them, but they all looked young, basically the same age group as the little princess.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Coco nodded, looking at Claire's disbelieving expression, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. Was this looking down on her?

"Hey, please speak softly, don't disturb others." Ariel glanced at Lan Keke dissatisfied. She doesn't care if Lan Ke is a princess or not, she will still treat her with the same attitude.

The knights around her were about to get angry when they heard these rude words, but when they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded sheepishly, they were immediately surprised. Is this the same pampered and proud Her Royal Highness?

Ten minutes later, Iluli stood up. Her sad look made the envoys not far away moved. They came to investigate the forest elf slave incident, and now this happened in front of them. This made them feel ashamed and angry.

Ayton sighed, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry. Ariel won't laugh at you."

Hearing this, Iluli immediately threw herself into Ayton's arms and cried bitterly. The latter caressed her back, determined in her heart to completely wipe out that group of blood wolf thieves.

Ariel looked at Iluli with extreme dissatisfaction. She didn't know why, but now she felt particularly disgusted when she looked at her.

For the sake of her treatment for my brother and me, I'll let it go for the time being. Ariel thought to herself, and coughed a few times to indicate that there were still a few outsiders here.

Only then did Iluli come back to her senses and turned her back with a blush on her pretty face.

Seeing that she had recovered a little, Ayton secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dozen knights.

"You are the special envoys preparing to go to the Thorn Territory. I hope you can take this incident seriously and catch the real culprit behind it."

A high-spirited young man in luxurious clothing stepped forward and said seriously: "You don't need to say it, we will definitely investigate this case thoroughly, not only for the sake of our relationship with the Elf Kingdom, but also to prevent such incidents from happening again." occur"

Ayton nodded: "That's good. According to the leader of these bandits, who they call the second master, the man behind the elf slave trade is the great lord of the Thorny Land, the patriarch of the Ford family—— Fnovich-Ford”
