Chapter 1791
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 ever known, so Mayfair was equally shocked.
But at this time, Captain Malik, who was on the ground, naturally saw Mayfair who was propping up his body and hiding above.
Their eyes met directly.
Mayfair's face turned pale, and he almost fell down.
But Captain Malik looked at the inner hall through the door in a panic at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow... tomorrow... there will be sacrifices delivered to the temple tomorrow! Wait, wait!"
"I'm hungry, I'm really hungry!"
"Okay, okay... I'll, I'll find a fresher one right away... It's alive, it must be alive!"
"Remember, don't let me down again, otherwise...you know the consequences."
Bang-!
The door was closed at this moment, and Captain Malik let out a sigh of relief, as if he had lost all his strength, and fell directly to the ground - Mayfair didn't dare to move for a moment.
Captain Malik has clearly seen his own, but why did he...
At this moment, Captain Malik raised his head again and stared into Le Mayfair's eyes again—she became even more frightened, but at this moment, Captain Malik actually made a silent gesture.
Mayfair couldn't help being startled.
……
……
It's still a shrine...but it's a little farther away from the inner hall—it's a place used by the village to baptize newborns. It's not used for anything on weekdays...it's a relatively remote place.
At this moment, Mayfair looked at the silent Captain Malik with vigilance—this is where he led her to.
The two sides kept an arm's length distance, and Mayfair even kept his palms on the waist where the weapons were placed, and never let go.
"Okay, let's go from here." The silent Captain Malik suddenly said: "The back of the baptismal hall can directly lead to the back door of the temple. If you go out from there, it will be dark soon. You take advantage of the guards outside Time, find another chance to go down the mountain, this should not be difficult for you, after all, you are his daughter... He used to be the fastest runner in the village, I know you are actually very fast."
"You...you let me go?" Mayfair looked at Captain Malik in disbelief.
She was constantly recalling the matter of Captain Malik—this Captain Malik was four or fifty years older than her, and he was still considered a young generation among the elves.
I heard that he was relatively ordinary in the past, but after he became an adult, he showed considerable bravery. Soon after, he was recognized as the bravest guy of 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 nice to everyone... Even if he is finally selected to be a sacrifice to serve the gods, I heard that Captain Malik has objected in private.
Before [today] near the shrine, Mayfair even secretly thanked Captain Malik of the guard team, but this gratitude has long been dissipated because she saw Captain Malik personally kill the clansman... She was even extremely jealous of this A guy with a hideous face.
However, in front of the gate of the inner hall, Captain Malik did not directly catch him, but now he still wants to let him go, which made Mayfair feel a little confused... Captain Malik, it is not because the inner hall pretends to be The minions and accomplices of the monsters of the gods?
But he clearly killed the members of his guard with his own hands, and brought the corpses of the members into the inner hall, intending to feed the terrifying monster.
"I heard that you escaped privately earlier today." Captain Malik frowned. "Since you have already escaped, why did you come back?"
"I'm back, doesn't it suit your wishes." Mayfair said with a sneer at this time: "Otherwise, where do you go, find another living sacrifice, and send it to the gods... to that monster? Live yes, right?"
"How much have you seen?" Captain Malik's face became tense, and his gaze was filled with a trace of evil spirit when he looked at Mayfair.
She had been prepared for a long time, so she drew out her weapon at this time and waited in full force, "I saw everything—sneak attack and kill your clansmen from behind you, and bring their corpses to the inner hall along the way! I saw them all, and I saw them all very well." Clear! 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 escape...why didn't you escape? You have no father or mother, and there is nothing to worry about here. Leave the tribe, leave the forest, Isn't the outside world not good to you?"
"I've thought about it before." Mayfair said in a deep voice, "but if I leave... more clansmen will be killed and eaten by you and that monster in the temple! I can't let it go! "
"I can't help it." 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'm going to do next... Are you going to surrender directly, or let me really do it?"
However, Mayfair has already given the answer with her actions - she appeared behind Captain Malik like a ghost in a flash.
It's just that Captain Malik seemed to have expected it a long time ago. The sword in his hand was stabbed casually behind his back, and he directly blocked Mayfair's attack.
She failed with one blow, and instead of opening the distance, she started a stormy attack... However, the sword in Captain Malik's hand evolved into a light curtain, which was easily blocked.
Even facing Mayfair's intensive attack, he didn't even move half a step.
Like lightning that suddenly struck the ground in the dark, at the moment when Mayfair was exhausted in a round of strong attacks, Captain Malik swept across with his sword—with a huge force, he directly sent Mayfair flying, and even killed him. Her weapon also smashed away directly.
Mayfair fell to the ground, and couldn't help the smell of blood in her throat. She quickly wanted to get up, but at this moment, the sword in Captain Malik's hand was already pointing directly at her throat.
"You are very fast, but your strength is too weak, and your skills are even worse." Captain Malik said indifferently: "Since I let you go, you have shut down and left without saying anything... Honesty, obviously not Make your way easier."
"If you want to kill it, kill it." Mayfair gritted his teeth, "However, if you want to bring me to that monster alive, I would rather commit suicide here."
As she said that, Mayfair suddenly slammed into Captain Malik's arms—it turned out that there was a palm-length knife hidden in her belt.
However, Captain Malik easily slapped Mayfair away with the face of his sword, and at this time, Mayfair directly stabbed himself in the throat with the knife in his hand.
Captain Malik's eyes flashed... Faster than her, he dodged in front of Mayfair in an instant, and knocked her unconscious with the hilt of his sword.
Puff-!
Miss Elf collapsed to the ground in an instant, losing consciousness.
"With such a strong personality, you really don't look like an elf at all." Captain Malik shook his head, but he directly hugged Mayfair and walked out of the baptism hall.
At this time, it seemed that the daylight was about to disappear, and the sky had completely dimmed... and the guards of the temple on the hill began to light up the surrounding lights.
……
……
She woke up on a stone bed... The moment she woke up, Mayfair instinctively wanted to leave, but soon, she was pulled back by something.
Her legs—her legs had been shackled at this moment, connected to the iron chain, and the iron chain was nailed to the stone bed—she couldn't 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 was looking up at something, and a soft light fell on him, but because of the screen blocking, Mayfair couldn't see what Captain Malik was looking at, but it should be the window sill.
He was looking out the window, as if he was thinking about something and lost his mind... 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 it over to that man-eating monster?" Mayfair said coldly at this moment.
"It fell asleep." Captain Malik said indifferently: "You are lucky... In fact, it is easy to fall asleep, but it will be hungry after waking up, and it will become particularly irritable when it needs to eat."
"So, my life can only be saved 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 fleeing, the village has never been found, so I temporarily changed the candidate for the priest."
"Who is it!" Mayfair was startled.
"It's the youngest daughter of Eric's family." Captain Malik said blankly, "She looks very happy. Tonight, the village is preparing for a celebration for her."
"She's not even 80 years old this year! You actually..." Mayfair struggled excitedly again, and her delicate skin was even directly abraded by it.
"She will be sent to the temple in the middle of the night." Captain Malik suddenly stood up: "I'm out on patrol... Don't even think about leaving this room, there is an enchantment I released outside, with your strength Can't open it."
At this moment, he looked at Mayfair, and said indifferently: "Of course, if you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you... It's just picking up one more corpse."
"Wait! You come back! Malik! You come back—!" she screamed.
However, Captain Malik has already left the room directly and locked the door of the room.
Mayfair struggled to no avail, so she could only lie down on the stone bed as if discouraged. She said to herself: "You can't give up...you want to escape from this room, and you have to kill Uncle Eric. Rescued daughter... can't give up, absolutely can't give up!"
As soon as she gritted her teeth, she sat up again, and then grabbed the shackles with all her strength... The soles of her feet were stretched, and she actually tried to pull the soles of her feet out of the shackles.
The metal had worn away from her skin... even her flesh.
Finally—under a scream, Mayfair successfully pulled out her left foot. The price was that her left ankle was already bleeding profusely...even bloody.
At this time, her whole body was drenched in painful cold sweat, her face was as pale as paper, and even a slight movement of her left foot, which was successfully pulled out, was a heart-rending pain.
But time waited for her... Mayfair once again saw the shackles on his right foot.
This time, the pain almost made her faint... She failed, and that inhuman pain became a tiger blocking the way when it happened for the second time.
Mayfair couldn't help curling up, crying secretly, she didn't cry out, but the tears soon mixed with sweat, dripped on the stone bed, and then melted away.
Suddenly, something fell out of her clothes... It was that incomparably sweet candy.
At this moment, Mayfair held up the candy tremblingly... distracted.
After being distracted, Mayfair took a deep breath, untied the sugar coating, broke half of the toffee inside, put half into her mouth, wrapped the half in sugar coating again, and kept it close to her body.
Feeling that the sweet taste melted in his mouth again, Mayfair randomly wiped the stains on his face with his palm.
"Mayfair is neither painful nor bitter... Mayfair is sweet."
She muttered to herself, and then she shivered, gritted her teeth, and started to twitch her right foot again—the hard metal shackles directly scraped the flesh and skin off her ankle.
little by little.
Finally, she fell under the stone bed... Mayfair panted heavily, only feeling the burning pain of her feet now, even the air could bully her bloody feet.
She rested for a while, and began to crawl slowly on the floor... It's just that she, who was exhausted physically, was so exhausted that she just wanted to pass out.
There was a light in front, it should be the light coming from the window... Most of the light was blocked by the screen - this is where Captain Malik was sitting just now.
Mayfair crawled here, wondering if she could climb out of the window if there was an enchantment on the door... She looked subconsciously.
What I saw was not a window at all... but a vertically placed coffin—the light was actually emitted by the coffin.
Luminous stones... This coffin is inlaid with several luminous stones, which are materials that are relatively easy to obtain in [Roaring Forest].
"Malik, have you been watching it?"
Mayfair gritted her teeth, crawled towards the coffin, and 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 inside... Mayfair opened his mouth, but in the end he could only ignore the empty coffin and turned to look at the door of the room.
……
Can't open it!
She couldn't open it no matter what—every method to break the curse had been tried, and the enchantment released on the door completely exceeded her strength—as Captain Malik said, she couldn't leave this room no matter what.
The time was quietly approaching when the new priests would be sent 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 receive 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, and she felt that she could fall asleep at any time—maybe she would never wake up again after falling asleep, or maybe after waking up, it would be a new [today].
"That's okay... If we go back to the morning..." Mayfair's eyes gradually became blurred: "Then no one will die... As long as I can't get out of [today], no one will die. All right……"
"only……"
"I'll forget it..."
She slowly took out the remaining half of the toffee from her bosom, unwrapped the icing with difficulty with her fingers, and finally slowly put the remaining half of the candy into her mouth.
Waiting for the sweet melt...
- don't want to forget.
At this moment, Mayfair's body was suddenly covered with many black patterns... The patterns covered her whole body at once——finally, from among these blooming patterns, strangely protruded many Shadowy arms.
The arms wrapped Mayfair directly... like a giant black cocoon, and finally, her body began to sink little by little.
It was a darkness that unfolded beneath her.
She could no longer hear any sound, and her eyes had completely lost their luster, like an empty shell... She couldn't even feel the taste in her mouth.
Kacha-!
There was a soft sound, but it disturbed something at this time... It disturbed everything here!
As if the fire light dissipated all the darkness 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 also began to shrink rapidly at this time— —In the end, all the patterns disappeared on Mayfair's forehead.
Her eyes once again regained a gleam of brilliance.
At this time, the door of the enchanted room was opened, and someone appeared in front of her.
"I found a key outside, so I opened the door to see... Are you all right, Miss Mayfair?"
At this time Miss Elf burst into tears, she cried and said, "I'm sorry, I ate the candy you gave me... yes, can you give me another one?"
