Inside the wooden house, the swaying crystal palace flowers emitted an ambiguous light, dyeing the fair skin of Malodi and Elaine Lan pink.
Marlody knelt on one knee in front of Elaine Lan and put a wreath on her head.
He said softly to Elaine:
"Dear Elaine, today, I swear to you on this solemn occasion.
I promise that from today on, no matter what happens in life, I will be with you through every stage of your life.
I promise that I will respect your personal values ​​and freedom, support your dreams and pursuits, and grow and move forward together.
I promise that I will always love you, care for you, trust you, understand you, and give you strength and support when you need it.
I promise that I will cherish our love, protect it, cultivate it, and allow it to continue to blossom and bear fruit.
Finally, I swear in the name of Yasha’s mother that everything I said above is expressed sincerely.
I love you, now and forever."
Malodi held Elaine's hand very tightly, even a little too tightly.
Elaine looked at Malodi with a smile and responded softly:
"Me too, dear."
[Ugh! Looks like the fun is about to begin! ]
Qi Ge looked more carefully.
It's not that he wants to learn some technology from the great Elf King, but he knows that every cutscene in Echoes of History cannot be useless and must have a very important meaning.
Malodi sat next to Elaine Lan. They kept clinking glasses and drinking wine made from honey and fruits. They whispered softly and rubbed their ears together, looking very affectionate.
The characteristic of the elves is that it is difficult for them to enter the reproductive state, and they always need the help of alcohol or magic if they want to reproduce.
Soon, Elaine Lan and Malodi's faces turned red and they were ready to make a move.
It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming!
Qi Ge closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight.
Soon, Elaine began to measure Malody's waist with her legs, and Malody growled and began to pull down his pants.
Yilian Lan bit her lip, turned her face to the side, and waited silently...
After a long time, she looked at Malodi with a dazed look and asked:
“Has it started yet?”
Malodi did not say anything, but silently put Elaine's legs down, sat on the bed with some frustration, lowered his head, and said in a mosquito-like voice:
“I may not be in good condition today, I’m sorry.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting married today and I’m too tired.”
Elaine Lan's expression was a little complicated, but she still touched Malodi's back and comforted him:
"It's okay, honey. The first time is always a little nerve-wracking."
"Well, I...I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Maraudy hurriedly put on his clothes and left the room like a deserter.
Qi Ge looked at Malodi with sympathy. As a man whose yang energy was often exhausted, he knew very well that being comforted at this time was more painful than being scolded.
Elaine Lan, who was in the room, looked at Malodi tenderly at first.
But as soon as Maraudy left the room, her expression changed rapidly.
The smile on her lips suddenly disappeared, her eyes were dull, and she whispered to herself:
"You're not in bad shape at all, you're just not good enough for me.
Even when I treat you gently, you are still afraid and wary of me.
Even if your sister points a sword at you, you still love her deeply.
Seeing how similar my sister and I look makes you miss her even more.
Is this love? It's really unreasonable and hurtful.
Marlodi, on the surface you still pretend to love me, but in my heart, your true thoughts cannot be hidden at all.
Sometimes I really hate my ability. If I didn't have these eyes that see through everything, maybe I wouldn't be able to see the darkness in his heart, and I wouldn't be able to convince myself to play the role of your princess well. "
Elaine Lan sat on the bed, hugged her calves with both hands, rested her head on her knees, stared blankly out the door, thinking for a long time.
The crimson light of the Crystal Palace flowers shone on her, casting a long shadow that was faintly tinged with bright red.
After a long while, in the empty bridal chamber, the bride's mumbling could be heard:
"Take your time. Maybe things will get better in the future."
…
Yin Yue was unwilling to marry Malodi, so Yin Lan became the bride in her sister's place.
Malodi was afraid of Yinlan. Although he chose to marry Yinlan for the sake of the fusion of gold elves and silver elves, he was still unable to open his heart to Yinlan.
Of course, Marlody always pretended to love Yin Lan on the surface, but in Yin Lan's heart, his true thoughts could not be hidden at all.
Every night when Malodi musters up the courage to face Elaine Lan becomes a thorn in the side that hurts each other.
Malodi couldn't deceive himself and held a flag-raising ceremony for Elaine Lan. Elaine Lan could always see through Malodi's disguise and was disappointed again and again.
The king and the princess share the same bed but different dreams, and their appearance is close but their hearts are far apart.
Perhaps their marriage was destined to be a tragedy from the very beginning.
Qi Ge followed the fast-forward cutscenes and witnessed with his own eyes the suffocating way in which Marlodi and Elaine Lan interacted with each other, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for both of them.
Just when Qi Ge thought that the two would finally be healed after a long period of time, something happened that changed everything.
It was a night in the second month of Malodi and Yinlan's marriage.
Marodi did not prepare any flowers or drinks.
He really couldn't deceive Yin Lan anymore and prepared to have a showdown with Yin Lan tonight.
“Anyway, we are all long-lived elven royals, so it’s not that important whether we have offspring or not.
If it really comes to the last resort, the descendants of other royal families can inherit our throne."
Standing at the door of his bedroom, Malodi looked up at the sky and said to himself with difficulty:
"It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. After talking it out, both she and I will feel better.
I'm sorry to Yin Lan, but my heart can't lie to Yi Lianyue."
Malodi didn't dare to imagine what Yin Lan's expression would be after he revealed his true colors to him, but as a king and a husband, he had to take all responsibilities.
So, Maraudy pushed open the tragic wooden door.
"It's too late! Why did you come back just now? Didn't I tell you I was waiting for you?"
The moment the door opened, Elaine Lan's high silver ponytail made Malody's pupils shrink. He stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.
"What are you doing standing at the door, Maraudy? Come in quickly."
"oh oh."
Maraudy was still in shock, but his body had reacted before his mind.
He staggered into the room and nearly fell.
"Door! Door! Are you stupid? You can't even close the door."
Elaine Lan pointed to the door and shouted in a delicate voice.
That action was exactly the same as when Elaine Yue pointed her sword at Malodi.
Maraudy closed the door in a daze.
Bang.
The sound of the wooden door hitting the door frame awakened Malodi's mind.
He stood there in a daze for a moment, then closed his eyes in pain and covered his face.
He came to his senses.
Yilian Lan and Yilian Yue looked very similar to begin with, and with their hairstyles changed, there was almost no difference between them.
Yilian Lan’s acting is also excellent, her tone and movements are exactly the same as Yilian Yue’s.
However, there is a fatal flaw in Elaine Lan's performance.
That is, Malodi knew very well in his heart that Elaine Yue would never wait for him in his room, not in this lifetime.
Therefore, the girl in the room can only be Yilian Lan.
"Lan, why?"
Maraudy turned around, leaned against the door, his eyes red, and asked painfully.
Elaine Lan's current attire and expression were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, digging out all the darkest things in his heart and throwing them onto the table.
Elaine Lan placed one hand flat on her chest and stretched out the other hand toward Maraudy. Her slender fingers protruded from her silver half-covered tulle gloves, as if inviting Maraudy to come over and kiss her.
Although Marody's question was vague, Elaine Lan still understood his question.
Her eyes are so good that nothing can be hidden from her.
She copied Elaine Yue's eyes and tone and said to Malodi:
"Don't you like this the most? Then I will become the way you like the most."
"No, no." Maraudy covered his mouth and clenched his nose with his fingers. His guilt towards Elaine Lan and his disgust for his own indecision suddenly surged up.
"No... Lan, don't do this.
You are not Yue, so don’t force yourself to become Yue.”
Elaine Lan's eyes were a little empty for a moment:
"You mean, even if I pretend to be your sister, you won't be attracted to me because you love your sister, and nothing I do will help?"
Maraudy was anxious: "No, that's not what I meant."
"That's what you mean!" Yilianlan said firmly.
She walked towards Maraudy step by step, forcing Maraudy against the wooden door.
She reached out her hand, gently stroked Maraudy's cheek, and said to Maraudy:
"You know what, Maraudy? Elves are really interesting.
The soul of each elf is divided into three.
One is the true spirit, one is the heart, and the other is the super spirit.
The true spirit is the most primitive thoughts and impulses of the elves. When they are hungry, they want to eat; when they are angry, they want to destroy the opponent.
Even when facing parents, brothers and close relatives, when the true spirit is angry, it will hope that the other party will die, and die immediately, the sooner the better.
The super soul is the elf's acquired cognition, and the super soul of each elf is very similar.
It will constrain the behavior of the elves themselves according to the common thoughts and behavioral norms formed by the entire elven society.
When the true spirit wants to do something that is not in line with common sense, the super spirit will suppress the impulse of the true spirit.
Therefore, no spirit will actually kill its parents when it is angry, because the super spirit judges that such impulses and thoughts are wrong and suppresses them.
The mind is the bridge between the true spirit and the super spirit, and is also the ultimate core that controls the body.
All the impulses, emotions, and thoughts of the spirit are accomplished by the true spirit, the heart, and the super spirit.
The true spirit generates impulses, and the heart feeds the impulses back to the super spirit. The super spirit makes judgments and choices, suppressing part of the emotions deep into the soul and giving the other part to the heart. Ultimately, the heart controls the body to take action.
However, all the emotions, impulses, and thoughts generated by the True Spirit will not disappear; they are simply suppressed by the Super Spirit.
They always burst out, either in your dreams or at some point in time.
As for me, I can clearly see all your thoughts, and even clearly see how they are suppressed by your Oversoul.
Marlodi, although you look terrified now, you actually like the way I am now, very much.
It’s just because you know in your heart that I am Lan, not Yue, so your super soul, which was created from countless experiences in your life, is stopping your liking.
But even if your super soul resists, your true soul still radiates love and affection.
They are still fighting each other till now.”
Maraudy's expression became even uglier.
He shook his head desperately and kept denying: "I didn't, no, don't talk nonsense."
"You have! Maraudy! Don't deceive yourself any more."
Elaine Lan pushed Malodi, who had nowhere to retreat, against the wall.
She laughed slyly, her voice full of seduction:
“Look, you haven’t even had any drink yet, and it’s already awake.
Irresistible love is the best aphrodisiac.
It works better than any alcohol."
“Malodi, now in this cabin, I am the elder sister.
There's only you and me here, and no one will know what happened.
Give up your resistance and be true to your true spirit."
"Gu..."
Maraudy trembled and clenched his teeth.
Elaine bit Malodi's ear and whispered softly:
"Malody, call my name."
"Lan..."
"No, you called the wrong name."
Malodi's pupils trembled violently, causing his body to tremble slightly.
He tried hard to resist, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and let out a beast-like cry from the bottom of his throat:
"Yue. My Yue."
"I'm here."
thump!
Elaine Lan was pressed to the floor by Malodi. The scarlet crystal palace flower bounced up and fell to the floor, splashing a bright red.
Elaine Lan hugged Malodi, and he shouted Elaine Yue's name while trembling.
The naked darkness that had been accumulating for too long gushed out from Malodi.
Elaine Lan pressed Malodi's head against her cheek with both hands, letting Malodi bite her shoulders. Her silver hair was pressed behind her, spreading out like flowing light.
Qi Ge felt a chill all over his body as he watched this scene.
At this time, Elaine Lan kept shouting, as if praising Malodi's efforts.
But her exquisite and beautiful face was expressionless, like a wax figure.
“There’s something wrong with this female elf Yilian Lan. It’s so wrong!
I witnessed the whole thing, but I had no idea what she was trying to do.
If she loved Maraudy and that was why she tried so hard to seduce him, I could still understand it.
But she doesn't love Marody at all!
No, look again!"
Just as Qi Ge was concentrating and trying to see more clearly, suddenly, the surroundings started to spin.
The cutscene ends just as suddenly as it opened.
Qi Ge found himself under the Peace Tree, the location where he entered the cutscene.
“I went back to the original time?”
Qi Ge was stunned at first, but soon realized something was wrong.
The flowers around Yi Lianxin's grave had obviously grown a lot bigger.
He flapped his wings and asked two lucky elf passers-by in the elf city, and soon found out the time - Yilianxin had been dead for a whole year.
Recently, the biggest news in the entire Elf Empire is that Yilianxin’s eldest daughter Yilianyue has become a hero and the witch of the goddess of fate!
She is undergoing the trial of the goddess of fate, reuniting the non-elf races that once united around the silver elves, and becoming a breakthrough master.
She has been recognized by Pegasus, the sacred deer, and the unicorn.
Her next stop is to go to the Emerald Islands to accept the trial of the Emerald Dragon.
The moment Qi Ge received the news, the main quest was triggered.
【Phase 2 Mission Description:
The Emerald Dragons have a friendly relationship with the elves, but it is the peaceful witch Yilianxin who has always maintained this friendship.
The proud Emerald Dragon does not recognize other elves except Elaine.
After Yilianxin's death, the Emerald Dragon also severed its ties with the elves.
This is bad for the entire Asia.
The four goddesses are of the same blood.
As the messenger of the Goddess of Peace, you are obliged to help Yilianyue, the Chosen One of Fate, to reestablish the link between the elves and the Emerald Dragon.
Mission requirements: Complete the Trial of the Emerald Dragon with Yilianyue.
Mission Reward: Phase 3 Historical Echoes are now enabled. 】
After triggering the task, Qi Ge immediately realized that although this task did not show a time limit, this task must have a time limit to complete.
He had to get to the Emerald Islands before Elian Yue and the Emerald Dragon reached an agreement.
If it is too late, the consequences will be very serious.
Yilianyue was sure that she had passed the trial herself, and it had nothing to do with him.
Qi Ge would never underestimate his mother-in-law's fighting ability, even if she was young.
Judging from the historical records of the elves, the mother-in-law is a well-deserved god of war.
“The Emerald Islands are too far away. If I fly there by myself, it will take at least seven days.
No, I have to go to Shenmu Port to find an elven warship to take me there."
The seven pigeons flapped their wings and flew to Shenmu Port.
With the help of the experience of the last historical echo, he easily found the person in charge of Shenmu Port and told him his request.
When the elves saw Qi Ge's emerald dragon appearance and beautiful silver hair, they immediately believed in his identity as the messenger of peace and immediately sent an elven warship to escort Qi Ge.
This elven warship is also the fastest reconnaissance ship among all elven warships, and its name is [Pegasus].
The fluttering golden leaves flew over Shenmu Port. Qi Ge was high above, looking at the scenery on the land with ease.
"Well, what is that?"
Qi Ge saw a very thick magic wood lying on the beach, and hundreds of golden elf boatmen were working hard to engrave magic patterns on the magic wood.
The captain smiled and said to Qi Ge:
"God's messenger, this is the Elf Queen that is under construction.
This is a gift from our King Malody to Princess Elaine Lan, and it was made by the strongest shipbuilders among our golden elves.
All the materials used in the whole body are the best magic wood in our Elf Empire.
Even the golden elves' most precious golden apple tree had a branch cut off by His Majesty Malodi.
There is no doubt that the Elf Queen must be a supreme miracle created by the efforts of the entire country!"
Another silver elf first mate said with a smile:
“His Majesty Malody must love Princess Elaine very much, to go to such great lengths to give her a gift.
The fact that His Majesty named the warship the Elf Queen instead of the Elf Princess shows how much His Majesty loves and respects the princess.
I heard that His Majesty always consults the princess's opinion on all matters of national policy, and all policies must be approved by both of them."
“The princess also loves Your Majesty very much. Although she is stronger than Your Majesty, she always gives in to Your Majesty.
I heard that the princess hasn't trained for more than a year in order to get pregnant with your majesty's child.
She is waiting for His Majesty's strength to catch up with hers.
Being able to give up one's own growth for His Majesty, this is such admiration."
“They are so loving, it’s enviable.
Your Majesty and the Princess are definitely a model couple in our Elf Empire.
The elders have always warned us to be like His Majesty and the Princess after we get married."
Seven Pigeons: ...
No! You must not follow suit.
Your model couple has become perverted behind your back, role-playing games every day.
If you follow their example, the elves will be doomed sooner or later.
Let's be honest, let's not talk about what happened to Marlody and Elaine Lan for now, the battleship is innocent.
The seven pigeons lay on the leaves and stared at the Elf Queen which was under construction.
This is a powerful warship that gave birth to a ship spirit and is also the main ship of the Golden Fleet of later generations.
It would be so nice if I could get the blueprints.
Qi Ge made up his mind that if Yi Lianyue's task was not troublesome, he would definitely find a chance to come back and get the drawings.
The Pegasus ship was very fast. Qige set off in the morning and arrived at the Emerald Islands in the afternoon.
When the warship approached the Emerald Islands, an Emerald Dragon covered with golden scales immediately flew out and blocked the Pegasus.
"Elf, according to our previous covenant, your warships cannot enter the waters of the Emerald Islands without permission.
May I ask what you are doing here? Have you asked for our consent in advance? "
Qi Ge recognized her at once. This was Ysera, the deputy chief of the Emerald Dragons, a spellcasting dragon with boundless magical powers.
He immediately flapped his wings and flew over, hovering in mid-air.
“Deputy Chief Ysera, please forgive their behavior.
They sent me here at my request."
"You? The silver emerald dragon? I have never seen you before. Who are you?"
Ysera asked doubtfully.
“I am the Seventh Dove, and I come here at the command of the Goddess of Peace.
I came to find the witch Yilian Yue to help her complete the trial of the Emerald Dragon."
"Goddess of Peace..." Ysera's eyes softened:
“It seems that even Mu Xinshen hopes that we Emerald Dragons will continue to maintain a good relationship with the elves.
Then come in."
The Seven Doves said goodbye to the crew of the Pegasus and followed Ysera into the Emerald Islands.
Soon, he saw Yilian Yue who was waiting for the trial to begin on the Emerald Islands.
…
"The God of Peace asked you to help me?"
Yi Lianyue widened her eyes in surprise:
"My sister is the peace wizard, why are you still helping me?"
Yeah, why?
Qi Ge shook his head and answered honestly:
"I don't know either. The goddess has her own intentions. I am just following her orders."
Yi Lianyue pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, and said:
"Thank you very much. I will do my best to live up to the goddess' expectations."
“Ah~”
Qi Ge wandered over to Yi Lianyue and said stealthily:
"Now that we have finished discussing business matters, let's talk about some personal matters.
Yilian Yue, do you know how your mother died?"
When Yi Lianyue heard this question, her brows immediately frowned, and she answered very vigilantly:
"Seven Pigeons Divine Envoy, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Qi Ge immediately said:
"How about this, you tell me what happened before Yin Xin Wu Zhu passed away.
If there are no problems, I may know the real cause of Yinxin Wuzhu's death."
"The real cause of death? Mother simply failed to break through. There is no real cause of death!"
Yi Lianyue asked more vigilantly:
"Could it be that you, the God's messenger, are also a member of the [Golden Elf Conspiracy] faction?"
"No, of course I'm not."
Qi Ge immediately said:
"I'm not one of those fools. I'm the messenger of the goddess of peace. How could I do anything bad to you?
Elaine Yue, please give me a little more trust.
The cause of death of the Silver Core Witch was definitely not caused by the Golden Elf, but it was most likely not as simple as a failure to break through.
Don't you want to know why Yinxin Wuzhu suddenly passed away?"
Hearing this, Yilianyue's expression became a little conflicted.
She looked carefully at the silver hair on Qi Ge's body and finally chose to compromise.
“Okay, you win.
I have indeed been struggling with the real cause of my mother's death, and I will tell you what I know.
The day before my mother died, she suddenly called my sister and me to her room, and told us many things as if to explain things to future generations. She even gave us the latest part of the "Silver Elf Architecture Manual" that she had been writing.
She told us that she was going to try to break through the legend and asked us not to disturb her at night.
We didn't think there was anything wrong at the time because it wasn't the first time my mother had done this, it happened almost every week earlier and later became once a month.
The next day after we left our mother's room, we couldn't wait for her to get up, so we went to her room to check.
When I pushed the door open, I saw my mother lying quietly on the bed, her face pale.
There were no scars on her body, and no signs of fighting around her, but she just died.
This was a huge shock to my sister and me.”
To this day, Yilianyue still feels very sad when she recalls the scene at that time.
She couldn't help but feel her eyes red.
"Over the past year or so, I have often thought that if I had been a little more alert, a little more rebellious, and insisted on sleeping with my mother, maybe my mother would not have died."
After hearing this, Qi Ge basically confirmed his inner guess.
"This has nothing to do with you. Even if you accompany Silver Core Wuzhu, it won't change anything.
You don’t have to blame yourself.”
He comforted her and asked softly:
"Yin Yue, think carefully about what Yin Xin Wu Zhu was researching before he died.
Especially those things related to the arms that have disappeared in the Yasha world."
"Type of troops?" Yilianyue shook her head with red eyes.
"I don't have any military branches. But I once saw my mother studying a strange pattern in her room.
The pattern seemed to have magic, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
If my mother hadn’t tapped me, I would have kept staring at it, so the pattern was very vivid in my mind.”
"pattern!"
Qi Ge immediately perked up.
"What kind of pattern is it? Draw it for me."
Yin Yue stretched out her hand and took out a piece of bamboo carving.
She said seriously:
“This is the only clue that my mother passed away, so I have always been very concerned about it. I have prepared several pieces and always keep them with me.
Unfortunately, I asked all of my mother's relatives, but no one remembered this pattern. "
The moment Qi Ge saw the pattern on the bamboo slip, his pupils shrank immediately.
There was no way he would mistake this pattern.
Because there is this pattern on the back of his hand.
The pattern is in the shape of a golden token, on which a gorgeous blue dragon spreads its wings and roars towards the sky.
Its name: Inscription of Courage.
Also known as: Ticket to Holy Dragon Historical Echoes.
Qi Ge closed his eyes.
Now, he had no more doubts.
Even his luxurious lineup with four legendary architects was nearly wiped out in the historical echoes of the Holy Dragon.
Yi Lianxin is a master architect, how dare she do that?
Qi Ge thought about it carefully and roughly understood it.
To become a legendary architect, a master architect needs to find his own way and design the strongest possible building drawings.
Plant architects have pros and cons.
The main construction method of plant architects is cultivation, which is to help powerful magical plants grow into buildings according to their own magical patterns.
The power of plant architects lies in the fact that they can relatively easily cultivate powerful miraculous or even mythical buildings across levels.
But designing architectural drawings requires going from 0 to 10,000, and there is no magic circuit of the plant itself as a basis, which happens to be the weakness of plant architects.
Yi Lianxin should have realized her weaknesses, and after many attempts, she confirmed that it would be difficult for her to break through to the legendary level.
That's why she chose to take a gamble in the historical echoes of the Holy Dragon.
If she could accomplish this difficult historical echo, she would be able to design a building powerful enough to enable her to break through the legend.
But unfortunately, she overestimated her abilities and underestimated the difficulty of the Holy Dragon's historical echoes.
Qi Ge sighed and said softly, "Father... Yi Lianyue, I can tell you the cause of Yinxin Wuzhu's death, but you have to swear not to tell it to anyone else."
Elaine Yue: !!!
Yi Lianyue immediately swore solemnly: "I swear in the name of the goddess of fate that I will never reveal the news you told me to anyone."
“It all starts with the architect’s uniqueness…”
Qi Ge said quietly.
…
…
“So, Silver Core Wuzhu fell on his own path.
She died for the heroic spirits and for the world of Yasa. It was glorious and great!
Aside from feeling sorry for you sisters, she must have no regrets in her death."
“Architects, history echoes.”
After hearing Qi Ge's words, Yi Lianyue looked a little dazed.
"So, without our knowledge, Mother has been traveling across time and doing so many dangerous things?"
Why.
Qi Ge sighed in his heart:
"Yes. That's why she has to explain to you every once in a while.
For architects, every time you enter the echo of history, it is a test of life and death.
Once you are lost in time, it is difficult to return.”
