Chapter 25 Resurrection
The golden light begins to penetrate downward from the sky, with warmth and vitality, and is the holy light of the morning light.
With a flash of consciousness, Link's consciousness recovered. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the scene where Alicina casts healing techniques on her face with anxiety. Doyle, who had recovered from human form, was still like before she unsealed the seal, and she did not grow a head. Her body moved slightly, and the great master immediately turned around and prepared as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Don't worry, it's all over." Link sat up and saw another person looming on the ground. He would never wake up again. The half-elf said that he wanted to witness the new era with his eyes and said that he would still echo in his ears, but the man was dead.
I'm blaming myself for being inadequate and having insufficient ability...
Link reached out and tried to close his wide eyes.
Doyle stood up and walked slowly over: "I seemed to hear Shuanghan call him the last direct line in the Doyle family?"
Judging from the tone, it is Doyle of humanity.
Link nodded, "It should be the half-elves who had given birth after marriage with the elves in the early days. When they were passed on to you, they had no sharp ears left, and only their facial features could vaguely see the shadow of the elves."
Even though he had signed a contract and could directly talk in his consciousness, Link still used his mouth to inform him. He reached into Orlando's arms and searched for him. He took out a notebook that was not much bigger than a palm. It was mixed with several folded envelopes and some yellowed parchment.
Turning on the homepage, the beautiful floral lettering wrote a name, Greg Orlando Doyle.
It turns out that he is from the Doyle family, so I don’t know which generation it is from...
Link pulled out the most important letter paper, and signed it with Winnie. After a brief scan, he talked about having children out of wedlock and planning to make Melville a cheap dad. Because Orlando had previously sent a letter with Winnie as a predecessor in his family, accusing her of not seeking substitute for Befest's descendants, these two mixed races would cause great trouble.
No wonder Shuanghan knew Orlando's identity, and he leaked it himself after a long time.
Link sighed and stuffed the diary back into the half-elf's arms.
"let's go."
"Where are you going?" Doyle and Alicina spoke at the same time. The two looked at each other with complex expressions.
"Let's take a look back. Although I drove away Shuanghan, I was always a little relieved." Link carried Orlando's body. His divine power had been exhausted and he could not even maintain his transformation, so he could only walk.
This suggestion won the approval of the great priest, but Doyle was a little surprised: "Hasn't Shuanghan been destroyed by you?"
The two people walking in front turned around at the same time and looked at Doyle standing still. They spoke in unison.
"Do you really think you killed Shuanghan? It's just a possession."
"If it were so easy to be annihilated, the Immortal Empire would have long been destroyed."
Doyle looked depressed, "Hey?! I thought I'd got rid of that guy."
While walking, Link did not hesitate to tell the priest in front of Doyle that the morning light had already given up the seal.
In response, Alicina said that she had already noticed the transfer of the seal. In order to better protect the seal, she engraved the spell on her abdomen and used the most important uterus of a woman as a bet to seal it with the law of cause and effect. The priests were infertile for life without marriage and were thinking that doing so would prevent the seal from being untied, but she did not expect that she would fail.
"It's just that Shuanghan is too cunning. From the beginning, it has planned to send Doyle to the sect. You think you have sealed the half-demon with demonic blood. In fact, you are just a free nanny, helping it raise the next medium with the protection of the dawn and the monitoring of the high-level priests, so that the child can survive safely."
Link's words made Doyle subconsciously clench his fists.
"Why did Shuanghan pretend to be my mother? Although the gender of the undead is not very meaningful, why did it waste so many years of time pretending to be a human woman as a high-powered Lich King? Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
Link asked Doyle, what is Winnie's age?
Although he didn't understand why he asked this, Doyle still answered truthfully, "What's wrong with it after being forty?"
Shuanghan's predecessor, Yan Dong, in the exile place, has been destroyed by me, but Shuanghan here still exists. Link asked again, "Is the invasion of the undead the leader of Shuanghan?"
Doyle is still young, and only the priest who can answer in his sixties, "No. The leader was the Death Knights and the Ghoul Corps, the other two leaders of the Immortal Empire."
Link already has the answer in his mind, but he still needs to confirm it.
"Have Shuanghan ever appeared on formal or important occasions in the past forty years?"
Alicina paused and stopped. "You mean... no, how could this happen? You mean that our opponents for the past forty years are not Shuanghan, but the other two lords?"
Link nodded, "I just guessed it. Let's put it this way, my original world had a big time difference from here. I helped Bree to the god forty years ago. Shuanghan might have learned in advance that the life box in the exile land would be destroyed. He made preparations in advance and hid in Winnie during the weak period, which is its possessed medium, and avoided the pursuit of the other two lords. Because Shuanghan has been secretly manipulating the overall situation, I always thought it was safe and sound. I forgot that even if the life box in the exile land was only part of it, it would cause some damage to the soul."
After hearing Link's statement that he helped Bree win the god and destroyed the life box of Shuanghan's exile, Alicina's face changed again and again.
It is worthy of being found by Zhu from another world. It is indeed extraordinary. Maybe it is not necessarily possible to completely solve the problem of Frost Han and the Immortal Empire...
Alicina was really relieved to think that he would take care of Doyle from now on.
Link is more suitable than himself. His mind and demeanor are the real seal. What is powerful is not the power given to the Son of Nature by God, but his firm belief and kindness. If he is handled by himself, the result will definitely be that Frost Han's wish will not only not be able to save Doyle, but also may create a new big pit next to the Wind Pillar east of the continent.
"By the way, what is the big trap?" Link was curious about this new term he had never heard of.
As soon as Link asked, Alicina told him about the origin of the Great Stolen Pit that had only been around forty years. "The huge pit left behind after Longyan Castle fell, went straight to the abyss. Many monsters came to the material world through the Stolen Pit. The orcs who caused such consequences were also miserable. Not only did they not get fertile land, they also provoked more cruel and aggressive species than them."
It turns out that the fall of Longyan Castle mentioned in the "Continental Chronicle" is a sinking "sink". It was not broken. Link suddenly stopped and remembered the mission he did in the exile land. Destroyed orcs and night elves and bombed Longyan Castle, and also rescued the thunder that had been in a demonized state. The cracked earth, the scorching air with poisonous air, the harsh living environment, and various monsters that continued to pour into the material world. Isn't this the true portrayal of the current Great Stolen pit?
Isn’t the history of the Exile Land created based on the real Edgar? Why does this mean so much? Thunder happened ten years ago. Including the time difference between the two planets, plus the sixteen years I was teleported, it just coincides with the fall of Longyan Castle.
What's going on? Is it a warning? Or...
Link's strange behavior caused concern to the other two people. Alicina thought he was tired and asked Doyle to help carry the half-elf's body.
"He was just thinking about things, um... let's not disturb him for the time being." I learned from the sharing of consciousness that Link was thinking. Doyle did not touch Link so as not to disturb his thoughts.
The Pillar of Earth was corroded to fight the storm sea after the invasion of the undead. As the power of revelation to prefabricate the future, Isol, who has the power of revelation to prefabricate the future, has no reason not to know his future. From the Pillar of Wind, he will go to the earth to find a way to crack it, and even send me back to the Golden Age to obtain the divine power of the Pillar of Water, it can be seen that the Pillar has prepared in advance. In other words, the big rift caused by the thunder incident is actually a big pit that will appear in the future? In addition to Claudia's rebellion, they predicted it early. Unfortunately, time was lost. Until before me, no one in the exile land could pass the selection of Brush. The Pillars originally wanted to stop what might happen in the future, but unfortunately they failed.
While Link was pondering, neither Lorelai nor Doyle went to disturb him. Realizing that he had been standing for a long enough time, he smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, I'm overthinking."
Alicina made an understanding statement, but did not go into delving into what Link was thinking.
When the three returned to Woran, they saw new flags floating on the walls of Woran.
"Can it be occupied by the undead?" Perception cannot replace vision. No matter how strong the range is, the pattern cannot be seen clearly.
"No. The undead have no flags, and they don't need any badge ornaments to be symbolized." Alicina squinted her eyes and observed carefully, and finally confirmed that the flag belonged to the wood elves and was reinforcements.
Before they could approach, the wooden elves' scout had already opened the city gate to welcome him. The people who had escaped in the city returned home with the reinforcements. Seeing the son of nature who had saved everyone from the dilemma of the undead siege, they all cheered heartily.
Led by the wood elves and the city guards, Link walked through the lane to welcome the civilians and came to the broken command post and met the reinforcements led by the reinforcements. They all knew the wood elves Ranger Captain Bradley. Of course, there was also the wolf Jafar.
Jafar encountered wood elves on his way to the guardian land. The reason was that two hostages placed in the elves village near the barrier were taken away. In addition, the news of villages and towns being invaded by the undead recently reached the royal court, so the elves increased the number of patrols and the number of people.
When Bradley learned that the undead might be besieging Woran, he contacted the Elf King through the messenger stone and was authorized to lead the elite warriors to support the Son of Nature. With the assistance of the wood elves, Hansen, the garrison commander, led the team to kill him again, completely clearing out two corpse witches and a small number of residual skeletons.
Link told Bradley and Hanson about the matter, hiding the part of Doyle's life experience, and learning that the undead had really retreated, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After a short rest and having something casually, Link found Alicina and told him that he planned to take Doyle into the guardian land of the Pillar of Wind after dawn. The great priest was not an elf and could not enter, so he wanted her to stay in Woran for the time being.
Alicina had no objection and knew that she could not enter the barrier, so she would stay and help the garrison bury the dead.
When he learned that Link was going to take Orlando to the royal court, Alicina felt that it was inappropriate, "After all, it was killed by the hands of Frost Han, so it would be cremated."
Link shook his head and refused, "No, he once said that his wish was to become a real elves. Since it was the direct line of the Doyle family, the characteristics of the elves were so obvious. I wanted to send him back to the hometown of my ancestors. I asked Bradley, and he said that the Elf King would not refuse any tribe member who wanted to return."
Seeing him persisted, Alicena naturally would not stop persuading him, but just told him to take care of him. She also understood that after leaving, she would not know when she would meet again. Doyle's bloodline is definitely not suitable for inheriting the family business, especially after making a contract with Link, she must follow him.
"The blood of the Doyle family is cut off. This Baicheng is going to change its master..." Alicina murmured to herself in the morning light that broke through the dawn.
I don’t know if the new ruler will be more cruel than the flesh-eating dead souls. I hope that the people here can meet an enlightened lord.
Setting off in the morning light, Link, who had recovered his divine power, turned into a Wind Falcon. Link took the remains of Jafar, Doyle and Orlando to Eagle Peak Mountain where the Wind Pillar is located.
He first stayed in the royal court, not only to hand over the body to the elves, but also to let the two demons wait in the royal court. Unexpectedly, the elf king immediately cried out a wail when he saw Orlando, and seemed very sad.
"You... know him?" Judging from the extremely gentle movements of the Elf King, Link speculated that Orlando might be his immediate relative.
Yilitekra wiped away the stains on Orlando's face and sorted out his hair: "Yes, he is my sister's second son."
Back then, the sister of the Elf King fell in love with a human noble and insisted on giving up the elf's longevity with that man. This was the beginning of the alliance between the wood elves and the Doyle family. The princess who married humans and gave birth to children as she wished did not grow old with her lover. Duke Krenberg was involved in a palace conspiracy and died in the imperial capital in order to save her husband and son. The grief-torn Duke entangled the rebellion of the other eleven lords who were dissatisfied with the royal family. This was the famous rebellion of the princes in history, and the stone golem was also created at that time.
One of the twins' elder brother inherited the title, gave up half of the lifespan of half the human being, and transferred it to his younger brother, Orlando, which made him live longer than ordinary half-elves. Even so, Orlando's lifespan had reached its end. He wanted to convert into a real elves. So he followed the goddess' instructions to go to the south. Unexpectedly, this trip would be a farewell forever.
After listening to the sad remarks of the Elf King, Link felt aroused. The goddess of music and dance Evjia is the guardian of the wood elves. She has not yet stated the conditions for providing divine power. Could it be... waiting for me to propose it?
"Where is the altar of the goddess?"
Yilitekra stopped when he cleared his nephew's body. He looked at the Son of Nature in confusion, not understanding what the envoy who believed in the highest god wanted to do.
"I might be able to resurrect Orlando."
The Elf King's eyes widened, "Resurrection?"
"Yes." Link nodded solemnly. "Please tell Goddess Evega where the altar is."
Under the personal leadership of the Elf King, Link brought Orlando's body to an altar full of flowers, because it was a natural system, without magnificent buildings or gorgeous decorations. Only a trickle formed the goddess's holy emblem, and in the center was an altar made of stones. Orlando was placed on the stone table and said loudly.
"Goddess Evega, the son of nature, asks you to resurrect your loyal believers as a commendation for his mission."
The Elf King was worried that Link's unrespectful words would anger the goddess, and he also had hope that Orlando would be resurrected as the Son of Nature said.
"The messenger of the pillar, his life belonging to the elves has come to an end." A female voice echoed in the woodland.
The Elf King immediately knelt down and begged the goddess, hoping that Orlando would survive.
"I'm sorry, he was killed by Shuanghan's law of cause and effect. With my divine power, I can't resist the power of the god of death."
The Elf King turned his gaze to Link, which was his last life-saving straw. The power of the pillar should be able to compete with the God of Death.
"He is a half-elves, and only the elves die." Orlando is a half-elves. As long as he is transformed into a human, he will break the law of causality of killing half-elves and can be resurrected. Link knew what Eves wanted, "resurrect him as a condition provided by divine power."
At this moment, Evega was waiting for. The stone table lit up, and the holy emblem composed of spring water also emitted light, which was no less warm than the morning holy light wrapped around the already cold body. Then Link saw a colorful light flying out of his body and falling into Orlando's forehead.
That's...soul?!
Thinking of the fact that because the pillar had been isolated from the flow of life, even the dead lives could not reenter the cycle of reincarnation during this period. Link couldn't help but be glad that he was by his side when Orlando died, otherwise the soul would have been sucked away by someone.
Not long after, a faint moan came from the stone table, and Yilitekra rushed over and kept calling Orlando's name.
"Uncle?" Orlando, who had recovered consciousness, felt that he had hallucinations, how could he hear the voice of the Elf King? Then he heard another familiar voice.
"You hide my affairs, there is more than Doyle. Greg Doyle." Link leaned over with a smile. Doyle, who had never seen the resurrection of the dead, also stepped forward and looked at the half-elves.
"I...I'm this..." Orlando's last memory was that Shuanghan pointed at him, and the sentence "Die" that made his heart stop. When he thought of Shuanghan, he trembled all over, and the pain of death remained in his body.
"You are resurrected, Orlando, as a punishment for repeatedly deceiving me. From then on, you will lose the elf's longevity and magical talent, live as a human being, and clean up the mess of the Doyle family." Link's advice made Orlando unable to help but poke out his body. With the support of the Elf King, he went to the stream. His sharp ears were gone, and the magic belonging to the elf also disappeared from his body.
Orlando looked at the reflections reflected in the water and left tears of joy and pain. He came alive, but forever lost the opportunity to live in the Elves Land.
