Raymond was shocked when he saw the system prompt.
He originally thought that the box would be like a "Pandora's box", and when he opened it, some monster would come out of it.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that the box is just a cup with overflowing light, and there are no monsters...
And the source of that hostility is the Elf Queen Isa!
"not good!"
Seeing this, Raymond thought something bad in his heart, "She...is she possessed by a demon?"
At this moment, Queen Isa's crystal-clear jade and white-as-snow skin suddenly burst into a black air, like ink dripping into clear water, and everything turned black in the blink of an eye. It looked like a holy elf with pure blood.
Suddenly degenerated into a dark-skinned "night elf"?
Seeing this scene in front of him, Raymond immediately understood what happened.
Because of this sign in front of him, he had seen it in Eludnis, the "City of Eternal Night", when he was stripping away the evil soul of the elf prince Ige!
This is a sign that evil energy has entered the body!
"What's going on? The Elf Queen actually has a demon soul in her body? Could it be that the box I brought... tricked her?"
Countless frightening thoughts flashed through Lei Meng's mind. He was even more worried that if this demigod-level powerhouse suddenly became a demon, wouldn't he be able to burp in seconds?
Just when he wanted to shout to attract the attention of the elf guards outside the hall, the elf queen on the throne stood up and waved her hand towards him, signaling him not to make a fuss.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Obviously, she is well aware of her situation and is used to it.
Just before the demonic energy turned her pretty face completely livid, she calmly took out a silver dagger... and then, under Raymond's astonished gaze, she cut her wrist without hesitation.
There was a bloody mouth.
Suddenly, a stream of ink-like black blood shot out from his wrist and splashed all over the floor.
Obviously, in order to drain the black blood as quickly as possible, Queen Isa also deliberately used magic power to force it out. Moreover, this method also had a miraculous effect, quickly curbing the erosion of the black air.
"Is this... bloodletting to cure poison?"
Raymond saw her method of cutting her wrists and bleeding, and immediately thought that this method seemed to be a treatment method used by some witch doctors to quickly cure poisons.
After severe poisoning, releasing poisonous blood can prevent the spread of poison and prevent the poisonous gas from attacking the heart. However, although this method is very effective, it will damage the source... It is definitely not a conventional treatment method.
At this time,
Raymond watched Queen Isa's face suddenly turn from black to white after the bloodletting, and the system's hostility prompts disappeared. At this moment, he really breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he was also very confused, what on earth was going on?
Looking at her skillful way of cutting her wrists and administering poison, it seems like this is not the first time?
...
"This is my original injury and has nothing to do with you."
After regaining her composure, Queen Isa first explained to Raymond.
After thinking about it, she said apologetically: "If you can... I hope you won't reveal the news about my injury to others. Even General Meng Ge, don't tell him."
"That's it... still want to keep it a secret?"
Upon hearing this, Raymond suddenly felt the weight of the words and instantly understood her intention.
The elf queen in front of me is not only the strongest person in the elf clan, but also the spiritual pillar of the entire clan against the demon clan.
If others knew that she had been severely injured, it would definitely shake the morale of the army.
However, this is obviously a sign of "evil spirit possession". Every time she bleeds for healing, she can temporarily suppress the demonic erosion. But every time, the original power is damaged... How long can she last?
"I won't tell anyone what happened here."
Although he felt a little complicated, Raymond nodded and planned to keep this secret for her.
Turning his face, he thought for a while and then suggested: "Well... Your Lady Queen, I mean, if it is possessed by an evil spirit, I think I can be of some help."
"There is indeed a 'demon spirit' in my body. It was caused by a plot three years ago during a fierce battle between me and [Terror Lord] Utamo. The demon army attacked this time because the demons wanted to confirm my identity.
How's the injury..."
Hearing this, Queen Isa shook her head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Captain Raymond. But you can strip away the demon spirit from Iger's body, but you can't solve my injury. After all, your current level is too high.
Low... If I want to peel off the demon spirit, I have to release it. But the 'demon spirit' extracted from the corpse of this kind of god and demon is not suppressed by the semi-god-level high-level laws, and there is nothing others can do. Once released, it will instantly
Take away my consciousness and you won’t have time to strip it away..."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Raymond also wanted to understand the reason.
How could an "evil spirit" that could make even a powerful demigod helpless be solved so easily?
If this Queen Isa becomes possessed, who can stop her?
"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to worry about my injuries."
Queen Isa seemed to have no hope of healing her injuries, and she had no intention of caring at all. She only cared about the safety of her ethnic group.
Turning her face, the elf queen looked at the gleaming "wine glass" in the box and showed a happy smile.
She said energetically: "This Holy Grail is exactly the same as what is recorded in the ancient books. It is really the legendary dwarf seal sacred object! The gap in the devil's seal... may be completely solved!"
[Ding! ‘Isa Georg Kirchtel’’s favorability towards you increases by 2, and the current relationship is “neutral”.]
"Did you find it by chance?"
Hearing those words, Raymond was also very happy.
Throwing the True Seeing Eye over, the name of the cup in the box immediately appeared.
[Vanseti’s Holy Grail of Life (Myth)]
Detailed explanation: An ancient sealed sacred object guarded by the dwarves; the water in the cup is the legendary 'Holy Spring of Life' that can increase lifespan; drinking the holy water has a lifespan of 50;
What surprised Raymond even more was...water in the cup!
"This...holy water can increase life span by 50 years?"
When he saw something that could increase his life span, a ray of light suddenly burst out in his eyes.
The memory of the time when he twisted "Rubik's Rubik's Cube" with his own hands and shortened his life by 30 years is still fresh in his mind.
Although he later converted to a vampire, theoretically his lifespan was greatly increased, and he also learned the [Demon Ape Qigong] from his third uncle, and was good at maintaining health... Normally, his lifespan should be longer than before.
But with the hidden attribute of Shouyuan, no one can tell where the end point is.
It's not certain that his original upper limit of lifespan was 50 years old, and then he twisted the Rubik's Cube and it became 20 years old. Although blood clan and Qigong increased his lifespan by a few years, he would still die young...
But now, if he drinks this cup of water, he can clearly know that his life span has been increased by 50 years!
This means that even if he is supposed to die tomorrow, if he drinks the water in the cup, he is sure to live at least 50 more years!
The system data will not be false. If the life span is really increased by 50 years, Raymond would be able to laugh out of his dreams...
What are you doing there with these lifespans?
If he can use the [Infinite Dreamland] skill to cultivate his mental power, his 50-year lifespan will be enough to increase his mental power tenfold and become the world's best telekinesis master!
...
Obviously,
Queen Isa on the throne keenly caught Raymond's stunning gaze when he looked at the Holy Grail, and asked with a slightly surprised tone: "Captain Raymond, do you know this holy object?"
"No, this is also my first time seeing this Holy Grail."
Raymond was also embarrassed. When communicating with a big boss, don't hide it.
He looked at the Holy Grail with burning eyes and said directly: "But... I have a special ability. I can feel that the spring water contained in this Holy Grail contains rich vitality. It should be the legendary water that can increase life span after drinking it.
'Fountain of Life'."
Hearing this, Queen Isa also nodded slightly and confirmed: "Yes. This statement is indeed recorded in the ancient books of our elves. When the dwarf master forged this Holy Grail, he received the blessing of the goddess of life. The cup will last for ten thousand years.
It can condense a drop of 'fountain of life' and increase life span..."
After a pause, she glanced at Raymond thoughtfully, and asked in a soft tone: "This Holy Grail is the treasure you found, but it is indeed crucial to our elves. Captain Raymond, can I take the liberty of
I beg you, would you please give this Holy Grail to our family?"
These words were not disrespectful and gave Raymond enough face.
"That's natural."
Raymond nodded and agreed happily.
Not to mention that Queen Isa had not unsealed this thing, but it was just an iron lump that he held, completely useless.
What's more, although this Holy Grail is an artifact, it is just an auxiliary item without any attack increase. As for its attribute of condensing a drop of holy water for ten thousand years... For humans with a lifespan of only a hundred years, it is almost useless.
.
What he cares about is only the "fountain of life" that has been condensed in this cup for countless years.
As soon as these words were spoken, system prompts came one after another.
[Ding! ‘Isa Georg Kirchtel’s favorability towards you increases by 10, and the current relationship is “friendly”.]
"Thank you for your generosity, Captain Raymond."
When Queen Isa heard this, a gentle smile slowly appeared on her pretty face that had always been calm.
Just this smile can enchant a country, make people feel like a spring breeze, and feel numb in the bones.
She naturally understood the hope for increased life span in his eyes, and with a smile in her beautiful eyes, she said: "Shou Yuan is not as urgent for us elves as you humans... Our family wants to use this Holy Grail to make up for it.
Without the seal, this 'fountain of life' is not necessary..."
After saying this, Raymond's face lit up with joy.
He knew that the Queen had to act like a superior, so he took the initiative to follow the topic and put forward his needs, "Dear Queen, if possible, can you bestow this spring water on me?"
"That's nature, it's what you get."
Queen Isa readily agreed.
Then she thought of something and said: "Since you have already been to the 'Temple of Nature', then... you can also go with me."
Naturally, Raymond had no reason to refuse, so he bowed and saluted, "It's a great honor..."
...
Raymond drank the water in the cup, and as expected, the system prompted that his life span had been increased by 50 years, which made him very happy.
Although lifespan does not directly increase his strength, for him, a lifespan of 50 years is enough for him to do a lot of things.
Like the vampire bloodline, sucking blood can increase one's own attributes, and the longer you live, the stronger you will be; like [Demon Ape Qigong], a skill where the amount of true energy can be infinitely superimposed, the longer you live, the more powerful you will naturally be. Moreover, if
If you want to become stronger quickly, using [Infinite Dreamland] to meditate on your mental power is also a shortcut. The only thing that needs to be consumed is your lifespan...
All in all, the free 50-year life span is even more useful to Raymond than allowing him to directly advance to an extraordinary level!
Even if you can't compete with any powerful enemy in the future, you can still survive the opponent by relying on your lifespan?
Not long after,
Queen Isa used space magic to open a space door, and then the two of them came to the world of underground magma again.
Raymond also had a unique experience when he visited his old place again.
He originally thought that after finding the lost sealed sacred object, Queen Isa would summon the elf elders and the like to perform some noisy sealing rituals and announce this exciting news...
Unexpectedly, Queen Isa would come with such a little shrimp like him, and the haste was so unbelievable.
After some conversation, he realized that the situation of the elves was not optimistic either.
...
The "Temple of Nature" is a forbidden area for the elves.
This is the most critical place to seal the ancient demon god. No one except previous queens is allowed to set foot there.
Previously, the "Dragon Hunting Group" suddenly broke into the Natural Temple by obtaining the space magic door from the fourth floor of the dungeon, which also frightened Queen Isa.
Fortunately, there were Capones at the time and they met by accident, otherwise Isha, who was already injured, might not have been able to stop the greedy Tucker Battle.
If the seal is broken again, it will definitely cause serious trouble. At that time, it will not only affect the entire elven secret realm, but also be a devastating disaster for the entire human world.
However, that incident also sounded a wake-up call for Isa.
Originally, she thought that this underground lava space could only be entered from the Elf Capital "Senima Tower". Now it seems that there may be an unknown secret door left by the demons in ancient times.
Therefore, after getting the [Versetti's Holy Grail of Life], she took Raymond alone through the magic door to the Temple of Nature without notifying anyone in the clan.
Even though she herself was possessed by a demonic spirit, she couldn't guarantee how many of the elves were affected by the demonic energy.
Once the clan members are called to discuss the matter and the news is leaked, trouble will inevitably occur.
Those lurking demons will definitely try their best to destroy and complete the seal...
The reason for such haste is to strike first before the lurking demons in the city can react!
And she needs someone who can be there in case of emergencies.
As a human being, Raymond is not restricted by the ancestral teachings of the elves. Anyway, he has been to the forbidden area, so he becomes the best candidate for temporary capture.
...
Although Raymond has been to the lava world before, he was not able to enter this "natural temple" made entirely of magic crystals last time.
This time I followed Queen Isa and had the honor to experience the interior of the temple in person.
It's no wonder that the "Dragon Catching Group" had evil thoughts about robbing things here. Even Raymond couldn't move his eyes away from the treasures in the palace.
If you break off a random piece of magic crystal here, you can probably sell it for the price of a high-level magic crystal. And if you sell the entire temple together, it will definitely be an astronomical sum that is unimaginable...
And when the seal altar is raised, the light of the artifact is even more blinding.
On the five formations engraved with the complicated five-pointed star formation, except for one empty spot, a crown, a beast's tooth, a ring and a staff are placed on each of the other four corners...
Each of these four items is an "ancient artifact" with incredible effects.
Each one of them is enough to make the world's top extraordinary beings cringe...
The sealing formation lit up, and Queen Isa said with emotion: "In ancient times, the alliance of five tribes spent a lot of resources to build this temple to seal the demon god. However, due to the betrayal of the dwarf patriarch, the formation was missing, resulting in the demon god's death.
The leakage of power caused the great trouble that has plagued our elves for countless years. And the 'Rosei Volcano' is the projection of the seal crack, which has spawned a large number of high-level monsters..."
As she spoke, she carefully held the Holy Grail in her hand and slowly placed it on the altar.
When the bottom of the Holy Grail perfectly matched the wind on the altar, Isa took a long breath. She sighed: "I didn't expect that in my generation, I could find the sealed Saint that had been lost for countless years.
Things. Finally, the fate of our elves has changed..."
When she said this, she looked at Raymond with grateful eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised higher and higher.
As if the burden of fate was suddenly lifted from her shoulders, the tense expression on her face became more and more relaxed, and finally turned into a kind smile.
Her eyes were extremely sincere and her words were soft, "Thank you, Captain Raymond, for bringing hope to our tribe... I, Isa Georg Kirchtel, help you on behalf of our elves.
My sincerest gratitude.”
Having said that, the supreme queen bowed slightly towards Raymond and gave an elegant thank you ceremony.
Raymond, a human man, may be the first and only person in the world to see the bright smile of the Elf Queen.
He also had to admit,
That smile is so charming.
...
After the Holy Grail was placed in the missing formation, the entire temple suddenly lit up with a dazzling green light, and the rolling force of nature surged towards the altar like a substantial wave.
Gradually a magic vortex formed, countless ancient magic runes flashed, and waves of natural divine power were aroused...
Next to the "Temple of Nature", the door locked by a huge iron chain suddenly shook. It was as if the demon trapped there was about to wake up after being stimulated, and struggled to escape. But the mysterious chain on the seal
The symbols became brighter and brighter, and eventually one became ten, and ten became hundreds, overlapping one after another... The dense chains finally sealed the entire door, and then dragged it into the hot lava underground and disappeared.
.
At this point, the seal is completely completed, and the body of the demon god can no longer reappear in the human world.
When Queen Isa saw this scene, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was obviously very excited.
She murmured: "After countless years, I finally succeeded..."
