Chapter 777 Holy Night and the Secret of the Moon Palace
Noticing the figure walking in front of him, Lei Xiao suddenly felt anxious. He raised his head and took a closer look, and found that the person coming was Erza, who had just been conquered not long ago.
After leaving the territory, this girl transformed into a tall, fair-skinned human female magician. She looked mature and intellectual, which was very different from her petite and exquisite original appearance.
It's no wonder, after all, in the realm of the human race, the dark elves, whose overall reputation is not very good and are extremely rare, are indeed too eye-catching.
Before Lei Xiao could speak, Erza's crisp and respectful voice came over: "Lord Qi, maybe I can make the Holy Night Army temporarily retreat for a period of time, so as to buy time, so that the Lord can go ahead.
Defeat the armies of the two princes!"
"oh?"
As soon as Erza said this, not only Lei Xiao himself, but also the other subordinates around him all had expressions of surprise and began to look at each other in shock.
As the number one illusion master in the Cold Flame Kingdom, everyone has seen the strength of the fourth-level eight-star Erza. She really shined in the previous cavalry battle, and the White Knight finally turned defeat into victory.
If the lord hadn't reached an agreement in advance with Erza, who had always been aliased as Nishikimon, causing her to deliberately let go during the offensive and defensive battle of the territory, I'm afraid the victory would never have been so easy.
Even so, facing an overwhelming army of 250,000 people, even if they gathered all the illusion masters with names from the human nations, they would never be able to stop it, let alone Erza alone?
This is like a moth flying into a flame, and the results are self-evident.
Surprised, Lei Xiao smiled faintly at the dark elf in front of him and responded: "Erza, the territory is indeed in danger at present, but as your master, I have not yet reached the point of panicking and choosing the right path. I will not
You are allowed to risk your life to accomplish something that has no chance of winning."
At this point, Lei Xiao's eyes were sharp and he added: "If it comes to a life-and-death battle, I will fight side by side with you until the end of my life."
After hearing Lei Xiao's inspiring words, all the subordinates present showed a look of determination and determination.
As long as you can follow the lord, what if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead?
In particular, the main subordinates such as Huzhang, Hongye, and Ariel, who participated in the attack and defense of Kongqing Town, looked at Lei Xiao with unwavering eyes and reverence on their faces.
At that time, if the lord had not risked his life and rushed into the darkness-shrouded Kongqing Town at all costs, it would have been a life-and-death struggle between the territory and the Nightmare Knights, and it would have been unclear who would win.
Seeing Lei Xiao re-mobilizing everyone's low morale in an instant, Old Gals, who had just joined the territory, was excited and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder the lord has gathered so many nobles and powerful people around him, including the princess, and has won so many miraculous victories. His courage as a leader alone is enough to make people admire him.
"Lord, you misunderstood."
Seeing that Lei Xiao was thinking about her so much, Erza was extremely grateful and quickly waved her hands and said: "I also know that I can never stop such a large army. I want to use another way to let the Holy Night Army
retreat!"
Having said this, a trace of determination suddenly appeared on Erza's fair face, and she added: "My subordinate wants to talk to the leader of the Moon Palace Saint and ask her to find a way to delay it for a while!"
"Talk to the Saint of the Moon Palace?"
Lei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said in great surprise: "Erza, do you know the Saint of the Moon Palace of the Holy Night Kingdom?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's question, all the Leng Yan subordinates, including Ariel, also looked over with doubts on their faces.
You must know that in the Holy Night Kingdom next door, this unique force called the Moon Palace Church is completely comparable to the Holy Night Royal Family in terms of strength and influence, and it controls half of the Holy Night Kingdom.
Compared with the Holy Night King who often needs to appear in public, the leader of the Moon Palace, the Saint of the Moon Palace, is an extremely mysterious existence.
It is said that except for King Shengye, even the wealthy and powerful people of Shengye, and even the princes and princesses, have never seen the true face of the Saint of the Moon Palace.
Moreover, there is a very special secret method in the Moon Palace that allows the former Moon Palace Saint to transfer her memories to the next Moon Palace Saint before she dies.
This means that, in a sense, the Saint of the Moon Palace is undoubtedly the wisest existence in the entire Holy Night Kingdom, and it also intensifies the unattainable status of the Saint of the Moon Palace.
How could such an extremely mysterious and powerful person be someone who could be seen casually? Moreover, even if he were seen, he would not be able to recognize him at all.
Just when the doubts in everyone's hearts began to grow stronger, Erza's next words surprised everyone.
"To be honest with you Lord, this current Saint of the Moon Palace of the Holy Night Kingdom is the biological sister of a compatriot from the same mother!"
Erza looked solemn and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao: "Lord, although my subordinate and my sister have been separated for 30 years, they have not been able to see each other for various reasons, and she even still resents my subordinate.
…”
At this point, Erza's starry eyes dimmed, revealing complex emotions mixed with self-blame, helplessness, and determination, and continued: "But I believe that the bond between me and Teresa is
, it is definitely not something that can be easily broken, at least it can delay her attack on Leng Yan!"
"Erza, the amount of information you said is too much, let me digest it."
After hearing so much unfamiliar information, Lei Xiao's mind was filled with questions and puzzles, and it began to spin rapidly.
First of all, it is clear from Erza's first sentence that the Saint of the Moon Palace is her biological sister, which undoubtedly means that the Saint of the Moon Palace is not a human race, but a dark elf.
However, the human nations have always been extremely wary of foreign races. This can be seen from the fact that the Lengyan royal family finally expelled a certain half-elf tribe that had made great contributions to Wang Xi.
The leaders of the human kingdoms will never allow foreigners to occupy high positions of power, and the Moon Palace controls half of the Holy Night Kingdom.
It stands to reason that neither the former saint of the Moon Palace nor the Holy Night royal family would ever allow a dark elf to become the successor of the Moon Palace.
Secondly, it is not difficult to see from Erza's second sentence that the relationship between Erza and this saintly sister has a huge rift, even reaching the level of resentment.
"When I conquered Erza, I once asked her why, as a dark elf, she would remain anonymous in the human countries. The answer I got was that Erza didn't want to be bound by her established destiny, so she chose to stay away alone.
hometown."
Lei Xiao looked at the other party's dim starry eyes from close range and nodded thoughtfully.
"Could it be that the rift between Erza and the saint sister originated from this incident? But what kind of destiny is Erza bound to?"
While confused, Lei Xiao continued to think.
As for Erza's last third sentence, it is easy to understand, that is, the name of the Moon Temple Saint is Theresa, and as her sister, Erza is confident that she can delay the attack on the mountain fortress.
Just when Lei Xiao had just smoothed everything out.
I saw Erza take a step forward, biting her red lips and added: "But Lord, my subordinates really don't know how to face Theresa alone. If possible, please lead the Lord to lead his colleagues to fight with her."
Let me go together."
"If I can convince the Saint of the Moon Palace, who plays an important role in the Kingdom of Holy Night and is the commander of the Holy Night Army, to postpone the attack, I will naturally be obliged to do so. This is also the territory's only chance of survival."
Lei Xiao hardly hesitated and nodded in approval: "But there are still two unanswered questions in my mind, which will directly affect how to negotiate and communicate with the Saint of the Moon Palace."
"The Lord wants to ask why a powerful person from the Dark Elf tribe appears in the Kingdom of Holy Night, and why his subordinates broke with Teresa, right?"
Erza first took a slow and deep breath, then nodded firmly to Lei Xiao with her starry eyes, obviously she had made up her mind and was ready to tell everything.
Her red lips opened slightly, and she began to tell: "To be honest with you Lord, in fact, from the beginning of the rise of the Holy Night Kingdom, the Moon Palace Church was founded by us dark elves, so every generation of Moon Palace Saints is a dark elf clan!
"
"Is this actually the case?"
As soon as Erza said this, Ariel, Al and other noble subordinates present began to look at each other in confusion again.
Thousands of years ago, in the early days of the rise of the Holy Night Kingdom, the Moon Palace already existed.
Unexpectedly, the dark elves have always been in control of such an important center of power. This is simply unimaginable in the human nations that value power and bloodline.
"With the rise of the Holy Night Kingdom?"
While being surprised, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded: "So, a thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Holy Night experienced more than three hundred years of chaos. The reason why it finally stood out and stood alongside the Kingdom of Cold Flames was to become the dominant force in this world.
It is one of the most powerful human nations in this land, and Moon Palace probably played a huge role in it, right?"
"As the lord said, the Holy Night Kingdom a thousand years ago was just a weak principality that could be seen everywhere. It should have been devoured by the endless flames of war. It is where my subordinates are located.
The Dark Elf Kingdom secretly helped us, and this is how we finally developed and prospered."
Erza blinked her long eyelashes and said with complete knowledge: "The word "night" in the name of Holy Night Kingdom represents our dark elves. This means that we dark elves will always have a place in Holy Night."
"It turns out that the name of the Holy Night Kingdom actually has this meaning."
Ariel nodded thoughtfully and murmured to herself: "It seems that whatever symbolizes the dawn in the darkness and means that the light is about to come are all empty words compiled by the Kingdom of Holy Night."
While suddenly enlightened, Ariel said with a puzzled face: "Erza, judging from the history after the blank era, the dark elves should be an extremely aloof race and rarely communicate with other races. Why?
Will it help the human race build a new world?"
"Back to your highness, Princess, it's not so much that our dark elves are aloof, but rather that we are not good at speaking. That's why we live underground."
Erza nodded to Ariel and responded: "As for why we helped the Holy Night Kingdom, it starts with an accident a thousand years ago..."
Through Erza's description, Lei Xiao learned.
Thousands of years ago, the first generation monarch of the Holy Night Kingdom was accidentally involved in a chase while traveling in foreign lands.
The two sides were a team of dark elf killers with broken ears, and a seriously injured dark elf woman.
Seeing this situation, the young monarch who admired the spirit of chivalry would naturally not let go of this opportunity for a hero to save the beauty. He raised his sword and stood in front of the dark elf woman.
However, he was only handsome for three seconds. This reckless young monarch obviously overestimated his own strength and underestimated the strength of his opponent. Not only did he not succeed in saving the beauty, but he was quickly defeated and passed out.
on the spot.
However, it was precisely because he bought nearly a minute that the reinforcements from the dark elf woman's side arrived and rescued both of them.
"What happened later became very obvious. The seriously injured dark elf woman became the queen of the dark elves, and the reckless Holy Night Lord recovered from his injuries after a month of recovery."
"Although this weak Holy Night monarch did not successfully rescue the beauty, he indirectly helped Her Majesty the Queen escape from trouble. In order to thank the other party, Her Majesty the Queen sent out an elite team of cross-dressers at the other party's request.
The strong dark elf will assist the other party in the battlefield and promises to always protect the other party's country."
Erza bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and then concluded: "And this is the prototype of the Moon Palace."
"Then it all makes sense."
After listening to Erza's introduction, Lei Xiao nodded with enlightenment: "So it turns out that it is because of the original agreement that your group of dark elves will continue to protect the Holy Night Kingdom in the form of the Moon Palace?"
"Yes, Lord Lord,"
Erza still maintained a respectful posture and responded: "But Her Majesty the Queen does not like to participate in the struggle between human races. Her almost crazy lust for power and intrigues make Her Majesty the Queen feel at a loss."
“I deeply agree.”
Ariel frowned and nodded, agreeing: "Those fallen nobles are the best example. It is they who, for their own selfish desires, did not hesitate to turn free farmers into slaves, and even plunged this land into blood and fire.
quagmire.”
"That's true."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said gently: "But everything has an inside and an outside. It is undeniable that it is the desire that these alien races lack that gives the human race strong curiosity, unparalleled magical creativity, and perseverance.
Will, rich cultivation system and infinite possibilities."
"The Lord is right. Over the years in Leng Yan, my subordinates have also discovered many beautiful qualities in humans that the dark elves do not have. In terms of food alone, it is much more colorful than the dark elves, not to mention those
Airships soaring in the sky and magical neon lights filling every street.”
Erza continued to tell everything she knew: "But Her Majesty the Queen has no interest in the human nations. Therefore, although Her Majesty the Queen still fulfills her promise, she only symbolically sends a person once every hundred years.
There are only a dozen dark elves including the Saint of the Moon Palace and the maids."
"I roughly understand the relationship between the dark elves and the Kingdom of Holy Night."
Lei Xiao lightly snapped his fingers, and then asked doubtfully: "Erza, even in your dark elf clan, very few people know these past events in such detail, right? Why do you know so well?"
"Your lord, you are really aware of everything."
Erza took a slow, deep breath, and said shockingly again: "To be honest with you, Lord, this Saint of the Moon Palace should be a subordinate..."
