As soon as Erza said these words, not only everyone present, but also the subordinates on the other end of the words could not help but express their surprise.
As the chief illusion master of the Cold Flame Royal Family and quite famous in the human nations, it is surprising enough that Erza is actually a dark elf.
Unexpectedly, the Saint of the Moon Palace actually controlled half of the Holy Night for a time!
You must know that even the top noble families in a country cannot compare with a force like the Moon Palace that is almost equivalent to the royal family.
"Don't get me wrong, before I officially became the Saint of the Moon Palace, I had already escaped from the Moon Palace and finally came to the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Erza smiled sheepishly and added: "I'm really glad I made the choice at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be working under the lord now, let alone get to know everyone."
"Erza, so what you said at the time about your unwillingness to be bound by your destiny was referring to becoming the Saint of the Moon Palace, right?"
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Yes, Lord."
Erza saluted Lei Xiao while stroking her chest, her starry eyes blurred as she continued to talk.
"Lord, my family is the priest family of the Dark Elf Kingdom. It is responsible for the sacrifices and celebrations within the family. After Her Majesty the Queen reached an agreement with the first Holy Night King, she has an additional responsibility.
That is the Saint of the Moon Temple who serves as the Holy Night Kingdom..."
After Erza's next description, Lei Xiao learned.
Erza's family is quite large. Every hundred years or so, a female dark elf from the younger generation will be selected to go to the Holy Night Kingdom to serve as the Saint of the Moon Temple and fulfill the promise made by the dark elf queen.
As for the elves whose lifespan was as high as a thousand years before they started practicing, why do they need to replace the Saint of the Moon Palace every hundred years?
Firstly, it was to avoid arousing suspicion from other human nations.
Secondly, the Dark Elf Queen did not want the saints of the past to be tainted with too much human aura and fall into the vortex of power, so she made this decision.
After all, a hundred years can only be regarded as a passing period in life for the long-lived elves.
Thirty years ago, after careful selection within the clan, Erza obtained the qualifications of this generation of Moon Palace Saint.
"According to Her Majesty the Queen's regulations, before each generation of Saints of the Moon Palace officially takes office, they need to serve as a Saint attendant in the Moon Palace for thirty years, so as to understand everything about the previous Saint, including the handling of all affairs of the Moon Palace, and even
Regarding the relationship with every family in the Holy Night Kingdom, even what kind of interactions they have had, etc."
"In this way, we can better fulfill Her Majesty's promise on behalf of the Queen and seamlessly connect with the previous Saint without any possible mistakes."
"After all, the fact that the Saint of the Moon Palace is a dark elf is the top secret of the Holy Night Kingdom. Except for the monarchs of each generation, no one in the Holy Night Kingdom knows about it, including those who serve the Moon Palace loyally.
However."
Erza sighed softly and continued: "And even the dark elf kingdom where my subordinates are located is only known to the royal family and the elders of our priest family."
Erza just said this, and saw Lei Xiao first motioning to Ariel to hand her a cup of tea, and then frowning and asking: "So, the so-called special secret method of the Moon Palace can make the former Saint of the Moon Palace
Before dying, transferring the memory to the next Saint of the Moon Palace is just an unfounded excuse, right?"
"As expected of your lord, you can see through the essence of the matter at a glance."
Erza gratefully accepted the tea cup handed over by Ariel, nodded quickly and said: "This is the method that the first generation Saint came up with. In this way, it can not only increase the mystery of the Saint of the Moon Palace, but also increase the mystery of the Saint of the Moon Palace.
I was able to escape perfectly and quietly return to my hometown."
"So that's it. No wonder this secret method is unheard of, and the new Saints of the Moon Palace are all young women who have just come of age."
Ariel looked suddenly enlightened and said thoughtfully: "If it were the elves, everything would be explained."
"Erza, then why did you give up your position as the Saint of the Moon Palace and choose to escape from the Moon Palace alone?"
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and asked the question that mattered most to him.
"Back to Lord, there's actually no big reason. It's just that my subordinates were too timid and temporarily backed down."
Erza held the steaming teacup in both hands and said dimly with starry eyes: "To be honest with you Lord, the former Saint of the Moon Palace was a cousin of my subordinate clan. She studied and grew up with my subordinates for nearly a hundred years.
The relationship was very good until she was chosen to become the Saint of the Moon Palace, and suddenly she was far away from her subordinates' lives."
"However, because this cousin took great care of her subordinates, they always remember her freshly and miss her very much."
"It wasn't until more than seventy years after we parted with her, or thirty years ago now, when my subordinates also became the successors of the Saint of the Moon Palace, and then went to the Kingdom of Holy Night, that I had a relationship with that cousin.
An opportunity to get together in advance.”
Erza's fair face, disguised through illusion magic, was full of complex expressions of solemnity and intolerance, obviously recalling some unforgettable past events.
"At the beginning, I was very much looking forward to meeting my cousin. After all, I haven't seen her for more than seventy years, so my heart is always full of excitement and joy. Moreover, I am about to take over my cousin's job."
"However, when the subordinate actually saw the cousin whom he had not seen for a long time, he was stunned on the spot."
Erza's voice began to tremble.
"Although my cousin's appearance has hardly changed at all, it gives my subordinates an extremely unfamiliar sense of distance, which even makes them feel a little panicked."
"Her eyes have long since lost their original clarity and softness, replaced by depth and sharpness. Her face has long lost any innocence and smile, only capable and mixed with vindictiveness."
Cold."
"Although the subordinates at the time did not understand why she had completely changed in just seventy years, they clearly understood that she was no longer the cousin who took great care of them.
…”
Erza's voice became smaller and smaller, until she finally said nothing.
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao already roughly understood Erza's reason for escaping from the Moon Palace.
As a foreign race of dark elves, they are not good at the intrigues and intrigues between human nobles and high-level officials, let alone someone who occupies such a high position as the Saint of the Moon Palace.
It is conceivable that as a Saint of the Moon Temple personally selected by the Dark Elf Queen, she has to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Holy Night Kingdom.
This undoubtedly means that it not only needs to ensure that the Holy Night Kingdom is not ravaged by foreign enemies, but also needs to balance the power struggle within the palace to ensure that the Holy Night royal family will not be replaced.
Under this double pressure, after seventy years, it is naturally a normal thing for a dark elf to completely change.
"It seems that the Saint of the Moon Palace on Holy Night is by no means as glamorous and mysterious as she appears on the surface."
After sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Erza, I completely understand. It was precisely because you didn't want to become as strange as your cousin that you chose to leave the Moon Palace, right?"
"That's right, Lord Lord, my subordinates really couldn't imagine that they would end up like that, so they had no choice but to flee there in embarrassment until today."
Erza's slender shoulders trembled slightly, she lowered her head and murmured: "I'm sorry, Lord, I have let you down."
"Erza, everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. For example, some people are suitable to be warriors, and some people are suitable to be magicians. Just because you have not become the Saint of the Moon Palace does not mean that you
If I don’t have talent, I won’t be disappointed.”
Lei Xiao patted the other party's shoulder lightly, still maintaining a smile and said: "Furthermore, if you really become the Saint of the Moon Palace, then who else will guide me desperately to undo the poison at the critical moment?"
Dreamland, and then lay a solid foundation for victory?"
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, the other subordinates present also nodded.
The reason why the lord was able to successfully break through the death realm in Kongqing Town was indeed due to Erza.
"Lord, it is a great honor for me to be recognized by you!"
Erza's slender body began to tremble slightly again, but just now it was because of uncontrollable loss, and now it was because of uncontrollable excitement.
"Erza, as for why you are resented by your sister, is it because you left the Moon Palace?"
When the dark elf woman's mood calmed down a little, Lei Xiao asked softly again.
"As the lord said, after her subordinates left the Moon Palace, Teresa was selected as the new successor to the Saint of the Moon Palace. After thirty years of service, she successfully became the successor a year ago.
Today’s Moon Palace Saint.”
Erza nodded to Lei Xiao, her eyebrows lowered and she said: "To be honest with you Lord, in fact Theresa is not conspicuous in the clan, and she will eventually be chosen to fill the vacancy of the subordinates. This is indeed the subordinate
Something I didn’t expect.”
"But when my subordinates learned all this, it was of no use. Until they mustered up the courage to secretly find Theresa."
"At that time, Teresa had just arrived in the human realm not long ago. It was the time when she needed the company of her relatives the most, but when she looked at her subordinates, she only had disgust and resentment in her eyes. She complained that her subordinates had brought shame on the family.
Complaining that your subordinates are cowardly and incompetent."
"It's no wonder, after all, I am the first heir to the Saint of the Moon Palace to escape in history. Although Her Majesty the Queen is tolerant and has not angered my family because of this, my parents cannot hold their heads high in the family because of this."
Since then, I have been ridiculed by other tribesmen, who laughed at my parents for having such an incompetent daughter."
Erza's starry eyes were filled with remorse and guilt, and she lowered her head again.
After a pause, Erza smiled wryly and mocked herself: "Now that things have happened, Teresa, who has successfully succeeded the Saint of the Moon Temple, has also received praise from Her Majesty the Queen as usual, and has successfully advanced to the fifth level of power. I'm afraid
Are you even more disdainful of this incompetent sister?"
"Erza, don't belittle yourself. You are a vital and indispensable part of both me and the territory. You have proven this from the beginning."
Lei Xiao nodded to the dark elf woman and said solemnly: "Although my strength is limited now, if we successfully overcome this difficulty and grow stronger, I believe it won't be long before I will ask you for help."
My sister and everyone in the Dark Elf Kingdom have proven that you are not weak and incompetent, but on the contrary, you are the best one."
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's heartfelt encouragement, Erza's eye circles couldn't help but sparkle, and she couldn't help but kneel down and say, "I'm looking forward to that day!"
At this moment, Erza's heart was full of thoughts.
If it were any human race who said such arrogant words, she would probably sneer at it. After all, as a dark elf, she clearly understands.
Although the population of the dark elf kingdom she was in was far less than that of any human country, its overall strength was by no means comparable to any human country, or even incomparable.
But the Lord in front of her has created countless miracles in front of her!
She believed that this young man from another world in Daxia would definitely keep his word and bring her her own miracle!
Just when Erza's heart was throbbing, she saw that Lei Xiao had sat back on the throne in the top position, and ordered to the subordinates present: "Okay, let's leave the matter of retreating the Holy Night Army to our hands.
Let me and Erza do it, and all the places will continue to press forward with all their strength according to the arrangements just now."
"Follow your orders! My subordinates will do their best!"
The uniform responses from all the subordinates immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Everyone, as I just said, everything depends on man."
Lei Xiao looked at the determined expressions of his subordinates, nodded with satisfaction, and said solemnly: "Although the front is foggy, full of thorns and murderous intentions, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be unstoppable!"
"We will be unstoppable!"
The increasingly excited voices of the subordinates resounded throughout the hall.
"Next, let me take a good look at what the menacing Saint Theresa of the Moon Temple will look like when facing me and Erza."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and stood up from the throne again, his eyes unwavering.
I saw Lei Xiao walking towards the lower position, while saying to the main subordinates who were already ready to go: "Get ready to go, the destination is the center of the 250,000 Saint Night Army, the location of the Saint of the Moon Palace!"
"As you command! Lord!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, the main force and subordinates immediately surrounded Lei Xiao and were ready to set off.
Then, as the half-elf mage Jiang Li waved his delicate hand, a light gray light flashed by, and the group of people disappeared in an instant.
