Sin City

Chapter 6

Elaine suddenly stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

Gordon's dumbfounded: "Go? Where to?"

“To where I should have gone!” Elaine did not stop at all, and directly walked out of the cave.

"Then in the future..."

“Nothing ahead anymore!" Elaine had disappeared into the vast night, her cold voice still echoing within the cave, Gordon was stunned on the spot and did not give chase, as he had just lost one heart, the, so it was not strong to chase a level five mage whose magic power had recovered, plus Elaine had a mysterious power that did not belong to a mage.

Gordon sat down and held his head firmly. After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, "No problem, the people of the Archimonde family are indeed that crazy, 'if not to stray in madness, it must die in silence', wait, wait, whose words are they?"

On a quiet night, Gordon's laughter spread far and wide.

The bonfire was still burning, the roasted rabbit was already charred like charcoal now.

Time always felt so fast, five years had passed.

When the sixth spring arrived, the Evernight Forest was no longer peaceful, the human army advanced from the outskirts of the forest to the middle layer by layer, with powerful sword and magic powers, and the, the lush and beautiful scenery disappeared, the raging flames razed down the towering ancient trees, and the savage beasts that lived casually for so many years were forced to have to give up and escape to live, among the ferocious beasts or monsters there were also very strong ones, too, but no matter how powerful the monsters were, they were still not opponents of the Construct Knight.

The Evernight Forest was the traditional territory of the Silvermoon Elves. Silvermoon Elves who inherited the blood of ancient High Elves would attack all the enemies who dared to attack the region, they had also destroyed the army of humans who tried to attack more than once, repelling those who wanted to take the treasures of the Evernight Forest.

But the army that invaded this time was different from the past, its commander was a war genius that the elves had never seen before, and the human army also had a Construct Knight squadron consisting of fifty knights, on the battlefield, at the same time, the Elves who relied on the experience of forest battle who repeatedly managed to defeat the human forces and had the strongest archers on the continent, could no longer occupy absolute advantage, the separation of powers due to the tribe differences was fatal, and the difference in the tribe was not so good, the most powerful Silvermoon Elf Tribes suffered great defeats one by one, and over half of the twelve powerful Elf kings were killed in battle, the sacrifice of many elven warriors failed to stop the human army, the spirit of the army was like a burning fire, sweeping through all obstacles, and continuing to advance into the Elf kingdom in the depths of the Evernight Forest.

In front of the Elf King's Court, the Silvermoon Elf tribe's army fought with the human army, for a thousand three hundred years, the Elf King's court in the Evernight Forest finally collapsed.

In the depths of the Evernight Forest, a small group of Elves escaped, they seemed to be fusing with the forest, leaving only a faint silhouette as they dashed swiftly. The once peaceful forest, now filled with the sounds of horse footsteps and murderous trumpets that resounded everywhere, a huge flame lit up, mercilessly devouring the ancient trees, was, paving the way for the cavalry behind to attack, here could be seen the panic of the Elves, this was no longer the forest they were familiar with. From time to time, teams of knights would jump out from the front to intercept them.

In the distance, the world tree was burning, a huge fire even turning half of the sky red.

The Elves guarded a young female priestess, whenever any enemy was in the way, some of them would part from the escort and rush towards the enemy with restraint, sacrificing themselves for the priest, the few of them would break away from the escort and rush towards the enemy with restraint, sacrificing themselves for the priestess, the mighty Elf warriors fell one by one, but the blood-filled armor knights were still no end.

The female priest embraced a heavy golden book, this was the scripture of the Moon Goddess Elusia, and also the most glorious relic of the Silvermoon Elves. He ran, and his speed was on par with an elf warrior, he looked not like a priest at all, after passing through many obstacles, only the last two warriors were left by his side.

In front of them was suddenly opened, a peaceful lake, Moon Star Lake, a pearl-like place in the Evernight Forest, but now, there was a, there was a knight standing quietly by the lakeside blocking their path, a killing aura filling the atmosphere, disturbing this originally peaceful and warm land, if one could look into the water, it would be impossible for anyone to see into the water, they will discover that the free-living creatures of the lake have stopped all their activities and are hiding deep at the bottom of the lake.

Although there was only one person, but the person's body was tall and big like a sturdy mountain, and the black warhorse he rode was half taller than an ordinary warhorse, the vest he was wearing was also very thick, but it seemed that the knight felt nothing, there were only occasional bursts of small flames coming out from his nose, as well, the knight was holding a three-meter-long large sword that made people's hearts pound, the blood dripping from the tip of his sword was clearly the blood of the Elves.

The priest stopped, but the Elf warrior beside him rushed forward, jumped up, and charged at the horse knight, this was an attack between life and death, he said, they only wanted to thrust their elf swords into the chest of the knight and close their eyes against the greatsword of the knight that was swinging towards them as well, A roaring laughter emerged from the gap of the helmet, and a sighing laughter emerged from the gap of the helmet, and the great sword with both hands swung like lightning with a fierce wind!

The knight leaped down from the warhorse that clearly had the blood of a demonic beast, walked towards the female priestess and said with a big laugh: "The noble and beautiful Moon Goddess Priestess, you are one of the most important people in the world of the Elf kingdom, if I let you escape with that scripture, then my service in killing the Elf kingdom people will be reduced by half! Do you think I would let something like that happen? This is my first time leading an army to war!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the bodies of the two elf warriors had just fallen to the ground, they were the most elite Silvermoon warriors in the elf royal palace, but failed to block the knight's sword.

The female priest slightly trembled, and suddenly gritted her teeth while saying, "Gordon!?"

The knight's body suddenly stiffened, like a petrified statue, he took off his helmet, revealing a face as stiff as iron. It was Gordon who barely left any trace on his face for five years, but only erased the frivolity of youth, and accelerated stability and fortitude. An adventurer five years ago has now become a general who leads thousands of troops, and has achieved feats that mankind has not achieved on this plane for thousands of years.

Only those eyes were still as pure and clear as they were five years ago.

Gordon looked at the priestess, after a while, his face was full of shock and he shouted: "You...Elaine?!"

The woman standing in front of Gordon was the sacrifice of a beautiful Moon Goddess Elf, not an ordinary human female mage. But Gordon knew that this woman was Elaine, even though her appearance was completely different, but her eyes never changed, just because the third level young warrior was unaware of it's the secret transformation magic of the Elf kingdom

He looked at Elaine for a long time, then grinned widely and said, "Hey girl! You're beautiful, much prettier than the most perfect woman I can imagine, but I still like you as an ordinary witch."

Hearing that familiar laughter, Elaine seemed to return to five years ago, but the heavy and cold scriptures in hand woke her up again, the sacrifice of the Moon Goddess Elucia should remain perfect and pure.

Elaine lifted the scripture and said coldly, "Gordon, there have been too many Silvermoon Elf lives dead in your hands, so only one of us can get out of here alive today!"

Gordon rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "You're not my opponent..." Before he finished speaking, Elaine had already rushed at a speed that was no less fast than the elven warriors, the scriptures had already shone brightly and the cover had also opened!

Seeing the rushing Elves coming, the heavy two-handed giant sword in Gordon's hand instantly swung, and slashed horizontally at an incredible speed. Five years had passed, the strength of a young warrior who was once only the third level was now already unimaginable.

The shadow of death had flashed across her head, Elaine was completely unaware of that, so in plain sight, past encounters were like being replayed before her eyes.

In front of the burning bonfire, he once asked, "What if I want you dead?"

"If necessary, it doesn't matter."

Five years later, Gordon's appearance had not changed at all, and had actually become a general leading thousands of troops, only, why should the Evernight Forest be addressed...

Elaine suddenly laughed, the tip of the greatsword kept closing in on her pupils, she did not dodge, but suddenly pulled out a short dagger from the scriptures to stab Gordon in the chest! He remembers that night, once feeling Gordon's heartbeat with his own hands, and also remembers Gordon's second heart position.

Elaine knew that Gordon could not dodge this dagger attack, this was the supreme combat skill of the Elf kingdom, the secret dagger, Moonlight Slash. She was the sacrifice of the Moon Goddess, but her dagger skills were deeper than magic, with the existence of a dagger blessed by the Moon Goddess Elucia, no armor could withstand her attack power, no one could resist, even the Construct Knight was the peak of human strength though.

The dagger is outstretched and there is no turning back!

In Elaine's eyes, Gordon's chest and wounds continued to appear involuntarily. Five years ago, to save him, Gordon lost his first heart, and now, the short dagger in his hand will pierce Gordon's second heart.

As for Gordon's greatsword attack, Elaine did not plan to dodge at all, because although wanting to also be impossible to dodge, she could only hope before the greatsword split itself, instead, he can thrust a dagger into Gordon's heart, and let Gordon pay the price for what he did to the Silvermoon Elves.

Just let us stay in this forest, Elaine thought.

With his short sword, he pierced through the heavy armor without any hindrance, pierced into the chest, and plunged into a heart that was beating strongly, the power of the dagger completely crushing his heart.

However, Gordon's greatsword attack stopped abruptly, the greatsword was only stuck to Elaine's skin, but it did not penetrate even an inch, the hand holding the greatsword was still stable like a mountain.

Gordon looked at Elaine, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but no sound came out at all. But Gordon smiled.

The huge sword slowly fell to the ground, the huge body also falling forward in Elaine's embrace, blood spurting from Gordon's chest soaking half of Elaine's body in an instant, like five years ago.

"You ..." Ilani fell silent, the world in front of her was blurry, only hot blood soaked her body.

“It doesn't matter if you're stupid, the scariest don't meet someone who makes you stupid.” After Gordon told her real name without hesitation, what Gordon had once said now clearly echoed in Elaine's ears.

The scriptures fell quietly, his hands hugged Gordon tightly, Gordon's body gradually getting colder in his arms.

“You can't die, you won't!” Elaine hugged him tightly and said softly.

Furthermore, there were seven days that were like the incident between dream and reality, seven days later, Gordon slowly opened his two eyes, he was lying in a cave, the wound on his chest had healed, he could no longer feel his own heartbeat. But his vitality was as strong as ever, he slowly turned his head and saw the sacrificial robe scattered on the ground, there were patches on his robe, but now that his blood had dried up, yet the smell of blood could not cover the fragrance of Elaine's body fragrance, the faint scent not only lingered on the sacrificial robe, but also on his own body.

Fragrance and elegance are endless, but the beautiful figure of Elaine has never been seen again. The beauty, spring and intimacy of the last few days felt like a spring dream that passed without a trace.

This time, there was really nothing ahead of him anymore.
