Captain Malik spat out a mouthful of blood, with a look of panic on his face... This was obviously not the bravest elf in the village that Mayfair had known, so Mayfair was equally shocked.
But at this time, Captain Malik, who was on the ground, naturally saw Mayfair, who was hiding above with his body propped up.
They looked directly into each other's eyes.
Mayfair's face turned pale and he almost fell down.
But Captain Malik was looking through the door in a panic at the inner temple, and said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow... there will be sacrifices delivered to the temple tomorrow! Wait, wait!"
"I'm hungry, I'm really hungry!"
"Okay, okay... I'll go find something fresh right away... something alive, it must be alive!"
"Remember, don't let me down again, otherwise... you know the consequences."
Bang!
The door was immediately closed at this moment, and Captain Malik let out a sigh of relief. His whole body seemed to have lost all strength, and it went limp to the point where Mayfair did not dare to move for a moment on the ground.
Captain Malik has clearly seen his own, but why did he...
At this moment, Captain Malik raised his head again, and once again stared into Lemephire's eyes. She became even more frightened, but at this moment, Captain Malik actually made a silencing gesture.
Mayfair couldn't help but feel startled.
…
…
It's still a temple...but it's slightly farther away from the inner hall. This is a place used by the village to baptize newborns. There's nothing going on on weekdays, so it's basically not used...it's a relatively remote place.
Mayfair looked at the silent Captain Malik with vigilance at this time. This is where he led her to.
The two sides kept an arm's length distance, and Mayfair even kept his palm on his waist where the weapon was placed, and never let go.
"Okay, let's go from here." The silent captain Malik suddenly said: "The back of the baptism hall can lead directly to the back door of the temple. When you go out from there, it will be dark soon. You can take advantage of the guards outside to hand over
When the time comes, find an opportunity to go down the mountain. This shouldn't be difficult for you. After all, you are his daughter... He used to be the fastest runner in the village, and I know you can actually run very fast too."
"You...you let me go?" Mayfair looked at Captain Malik in disbelief.
She was constantly reminiscing about Captain Malik. Captain Malik was forty or fifty years older than her, and he was still considered the younger generation among the elves.
I heard that he was relatively ordinary in the past, but he showed considerable bravery as an adult. Soon after, he was recognized as the bravest among the younger generation in the tribe. In the end, he passed the selection directly and became the captain of the temple guard team.
Captain Malik is kind and kind to everyone... Even if he was eventually selected to be a sacrifice to serve the gods, I heard that Captain Malik had privately opposed it.
Before going to the temple today, Mayfair even secretly expressed her gratitude to Captain Malik of the Guards, but this gratitude had long since evaporated when she saw Captain Malik killing his tribesmen with his own hands... She was even extremely afraid of this hidden man.
A scary looking guy.
However, in front of the inner hall, Captain Malik did not catch him directly. Instead, he wanted to let him go now, which made Mayfair feel a little confused... Captain Malik, it is difficult that the person in the inner hall was not pretending to be
Minions and accomplices of gods and monsters?
But he clearly killed the members of his own guard team with his own hands and brought the bodies of the members into the inner hall, hoping to feed the terrifying monster.
"I heard that you escaped privately earlier today." Captain Malik frowned and said, "Since you have escaped, why did you come back?"
"I'm back, isn't it just what you want?" Mayfair sneered at this time: "Otherwise, where will you go to find a living sacrifice and send it to the gods... and send it to the monster? Live
Yes, right?"
"How much did you see?" Captain Malik's expression turned serious, and his eyes looking at Mayfair were filled with a trace of evil aura.
She had been prepared, and she immediately drew her weapon and stood ready, "I saw them all sneak attack from behind and kill the tribesmen, and bring their bodies to the inner hall along the way! I saw them all, and I saw them clearly!
Malik, I will definitely tell the whole village about this...even the monster pretending to be a god!"
"You shouldn't have come back." Captain Malik sighed, "You can obviously escape...why don't you escape? You have no father and mother, and there is nothing to worry about here. Leave the tribe, leave the forest,
Isn’t the outside world not good for you?”
"I have thought about it." Mayfair said solemnly: "But if I leave...more people will be killed and eaten by you and the monster in the temple! I can't let it go!
"
"There is no other way." Captain Malik shook his head, and with a clang, he took out a sword that was longer and sharper than the short blade in Mayfair's hand, "I don't want others to know about this, so you
You should know what I am going to do next...will you surrender directly, or will you let me really take action?"
Mayfair had already given the answer with her actions. She ducked out of the way and appeared behind Captain Malik like a ghost.
However, Captain Malik seemed to have expected it, and he casually inserted the sword into his back and directly blocked Mayfair's attack.
She failed with one attack and did not close the distance. Instead, she launched a storm-like attack... However, the sword in Captain Malik's hand evolved into a light curtain, which was easily blocked.
In fact, in the face of Mayfair's intensive attack, he didn't move even half a step.
Like lightning that suddenly struck the earth in the darkness, at the moment when Mayfair's strong attack was exhausted, Captain Malik swept the huge force with his sword and directly knocked Mayfair away, even knocking her
The weapon was also knocked away directly.
Mayfair fell to the ground and couldn't help but feel the smell of blood in her throat. She quickly tried to get up, but at this time, the sword in Captain Malik's hand was pointed directly at her throat.
"You are very fast, but your strength is too weak, and your skills are even worse." Captain Malik said calmly: "From the time I asked you to leave, you have just left without saying anything... Integrity, obviously not
Make your way easier."
"Kill if you want." Mayfair gritted his teeth, "However, if you want to bring me alive to that monster, I would rather commit suicide here."
As he spoke, Mayfair suddenly slammed into Captain Malik's arms and struck her belt. It turned out that there was a palm-long knife hidden in it.
However, Captain Malik easily slapped Mayfair away with his sword. At this time, Mayfair directly stabbed his own throat with the knife in his hand.
Captain Malik's eyes flashed... Faster than her, he flashed in front of Mayfair and knocked her unconscious with the hilt of his sword.
Plop!
Miss Elf instantly collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
"With such a strong personality, he really doesn't look like an elf at all." Captain Malik shook his head, but directly picked up Mayfair and walked out of the baptism hall.
At this time, the daylight seemed to be about to disappear, and the sky had completely dimmed... At the temple on the hill, the guards began to light up the surrounding lights.
…
…
She woke up on a stone bed... The moment she woke up, Mayfair instinctively wanted to get away, but soon, she was pulled back by something.
Her legs were now shackled and connected to iron chains. The iron chains were nailed to the stone bed and she could not break free at all.
Mayfair looked around in horror, and finally saw Captain Malik in the corner of the room.
At this time, Captain Malik raised his head and looked at something. A soft light fell on him, but because of the screen, Mayfair couldn't see what Captain Malik was looking at, but he thought the location should be the window sill.
He was looking out the window, as if he was thinking about something and was distracted... Even the sound of Mayfair struggling after waking up failed to disturb him.
"Why didn't you send me to the inner hall and hand me over to that man-eating monster?" Mayfair said coldly at this time.
"It fell asleep." Captain Malik said calmly: "You are lucky... In fact, it falls asleep very easily, but it will be hungry when it wakes up, and will become particularly irritable when it needs to eat."
"So, I can only save my life until it wakes up..." Mayfair was silent.
"Don't worry, I won't send you there tomorrow." Captain Malik still didn't look at Mayfair. "Because of the escape, the village was never found, so the priest was temporarily changed."
"Who is it!" Mayfair was shocked.
"It's the little daughter of Eric's family." Captain Malik said expressionlessly: "She looks very happy. The village is preparing for a celebration tonight to celebrate for her."
"She is not even eighty years old this year! You actually..." Mayfair struggled excitedly again, and her delicate skin even suffered direct wear and tear.
"She will be sent to the temple in the middle of the night." Captain Malik suddenly stood up: "I went out to patrol... Don't think about leaving this room. There is a barrier I released outside. With your strength,
It can’t be opened.”
Only then did he look at Mayfair and said coldly: "Of course, I won't stop you if you want to commit suicide...it's just one more corpse to collect."
"Wait! Come back! Malik! Come back!" she screamed.
However, Captain Malik had already left the room and locked the door.
Mayfair struggled to no avail and could only lie down on the stone bed in frustration. She said to herself: "You can't give up... If you want to escape from this room, you have to kill Uncle Eric."
My daughter was rescued... we can’t give up, we absolutely can’t give up!”
She gritted her teeth, sat up again, and then used her strength to hold the shackles... The soles of her feet were straightened, and she actually tried to pull the soles of her feet out of the shackles.
The metal has worn away her skin...even her flesh.
Finally, with a scream, Mayfair successfully pulled out her left foot, but at the cost, her left ankle was bleeding... and even bloody.
At this time, her whole body was soaked in painful cold sweat, her face was as pale as paper, and the left foot she successfully pulled out even moved slightly, she was in excruciating pain.
However, time did not wait for her... Mayfair looked at the shackles on her right foot again.
This time, the pain almost made her faint... She failed. The inhuman pain became a tiger blocking the road the second time.
Mayfair couldn't help curling up and crying secretly. She didn't cry out loud, but her tears soon mixed with sweat, dripped on the stone bed, and then melted away.
Suddenly, something fell out of her clothes...it was the sweet candy.
At this time, Mayfair tremblingly held up the candy... and was distracted.
After being distracted, Mayfair took a deep breath, unwrapped the icing, broke half of the toffee inside, put half into her mouth, and wrapped the other half in icing again, and put it close to her body.
Feeling the sweet taste melting into his mouth again, Mayfair casually wiped the stains on his face with his palms.
"Mayfair is neither painful nor bitter...Mayfair is sweet."
She murmured to herself, then she trembled, gritted her teeth, and suddenly began to twitch her right foot again. The hard metal shackles directly began to scrape open the flesh and skin of her ankle.
Little by little.
Finally, she fell down under the stone bed... Mayfair gasped for air, feeling that her feet were burning and stinging. Even the air could bully her bloody feet.
She rested for a moment and began to crawl slowly on the floor... But she was so exhausted that she felt so exhausted that she just wanted to pass out.
There was a light in front of him, which should have been the light coming from the window... Most of the light was blocked by the screen. This was where Captain Malik was sitting just now.
Mayfair climbed here, wondering if she could climb out of the window if there was a barrier on the door... She looked subconsciously.
What he saw was not a window at all...but a coffin placed vertically. The light was actually emitted by the coffin.
Luminous stones... This coffin is inlaid with several luminous stones, which are relatively easy-to-obtain materials in the Roaring Forest.
"Malik, have you been watching it?"
Mayfair gritted her teeth and crawled towards the coffin, then grabbed the coffin and climbed up with difficulty... She hesitated, but finally opened the coffin and opened her eyes to look inside.
"empty?"
But there was nothing in it... Mayfair opened his mouth, and finally could only ignore the empty coffin and turned to look at the door of the room.
…
Can't open!
She couldn't open it. All methods to break the curse had been tried. The enchantment released on the door completely exceeded her power. Just as Captain Malik said, she couldn't leave this room no matter what.
The time was quietly approaching for the new sacrificer to be delivered to the temple, and Mayfair was extremely anxious... and the injuries on her feet also caused her to lose too much blood because she could not get effective treatment.
She could only simply bandage it, but the blood had completely seeped out.
Mayfair only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She felt that she could fall asleep at any time, maybe she would not wake up again after falling asleep, or maybe after waking up, it would be a new day.
"Okay... if we go back to the morning..." Mayfair's eyes gradually became blurry: "Then no one will die... As long as I can't get out of today, no one will have to die, that's okay.
…”
"only……"
"You may have forgotten..."
She slowly took out the remaining half of the candy in her arms, struggled to untie the sugar coating with her fingers, and finally slowly put the remaining half of the candy into her mouth.
Waiting for the sweetness to melt...
Don't want to forget.
At this moment, Mayfair's body suddenly had many black patterns... The patterns suddenly covered her whole body. Finally, from these blooming patterns, many shadow-like shapes stretched out strangely.
arm.
The arms directly wrapped Mayfair up... like a giant black cocoon. Finally, her body began to sink little by little.
It was a darkness that spread out beneath her.
She could no longer hear any sounds, her eyes had completely lost their luster, and she was like an empty shell... She couldn't even feel the taste in her mouth.
Click!
A soft sound stirred something at this moment... and stirred everything strange here!
As if the firelight caused all the darkness to recede in an instant, the shadow-like arms on her body began to tremble randomly, and then quickly returned to the blooming patterns... and the patterns quickly began to shrink at this time and finally
, all the patterns disappeared into Mayfair's forehead.
Her eyes regained a trace of brilliance again.
At this time, she saw that the warded door had opened, and someone appeared in front of her.
"I found a key outside, so I opened the door to see... are you okay, Miss Mayfair."
Miss Elf burst into tears at this time, and she cried and said: "I'm sorry, I ate the candy you gave me... OK, can you give me another one?"
