Game of the World Tree - Chapter 73

73. Chapter 73 Our Allies Are Here

Ai’er is 80 years old this year.

Ever since he could remember, he often heard his grandfather talk about the glorious history of his race.

Once upon a time, they had the largest empire in the world.

Once upon a time, they established the most glorious civilization in the world.

However, after that disaster, the tribe fell from grace, were cursed, and gradually fell into decline.

He could not imagine how prosperous the tribe was a thousand years ago. In his opinion, such a prosperous era was just like a myth.

In his memory, the real days were always hiding and wandering…

However, his grandfather believed that everything would be fine.

“Ai’er, you must remember that we are the great silver race. The current decline is only temporary. Once the Mother Goddess returns, our era will definitely come back again.”

His grandfather often said this.

Ai’er once asked his grandfather, who is the Mother Goddess?

And his grandfather told him that the Mother Goddess is the greatest existence in the world, the real ruler of this world, and the kind mother who protects them…

“So… we also have our own gods?”

he asked in surprise.

“Silly boy.”

Grandpa touched his head, his expression fanatical and pious:

“The Mother Goddess is not just a god, but a real ancient god!”

From that day on, Al was full of expectations for the Mother Goddess.

He longed for a happy and stable life, and also longed to have his own small garden.

However… until the day when Grandpa died, he still did not see the return of the Mother Goddess.

But even so, he still believed in Grandpa’s words…

Until that day…

a group of hideous-looking orcs finally discovered their settlement. After a brutal battle, young and strong people died in battle, and women and children became captives…

Among them, he and his other two sisters were included.

At this time, Al realized that the life of wandering and hiding was not the most difficult.

The most difficult thing was to be a prisoner with a broken family.

The imprisoned women of the tribe gradually disappeared one by one.

And they were locked up in a small stone prison by the orcs, without seeing the sun.

Every day, they only had green fruits to fill their stomachs.

According to the orcs, they wanted to wait for the human caravan to pass by and sell Al and others for a good price…

Humans…

Al shuddered.

If orcs are demons, then humans are undoubtedly devils…

When he was in the tribe, he heard countless tragic stories of those tribesmen who became human slaves…

Those cunning, greedy, lewd bastards, they can do anything.

At this moment, he even wanted to starve to death.

But when he thought of his other two sisters, his heart softened.

“Al, you are a boy, you must protect your sisters well.”

This was the last advice from his grandfather before he died.

Thinking of this, Al clenched his fists…

“Grandpa… I’m really useless… I’m really useless…”

As time went by, Al became more and more desperate.

However, facing his two young sisters, he had to be strong and cheer himself up.

He was thinking about ways to escape all the time, but… the orcs were really staring at them too closely.

Such days lasted for several months.

Until today…

With a “swish”, the prison door that had not been opened for a long time was finally opened.

El shuddered and looked outside warily, while his two sisters hid behind him like frightened deer.

“Is this day finally here? Are they… going to sell us out?”

El clenched his fists… and began to think about how to take the opportunity to escape.

However, the orcs did not come in, but threw in a figure that was tied up tightly, and then turned and left.

El was slightly stunned and looked at the figure.

“Elf… Elf?!”

This… was the first time he had seen a member of the tribe in several months.

It was a very strange elf.

He was covered in blood, seriously injured, his face was extremely pale, and his breath was weak.

However, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

With just one glance, El felt that he could not look away.

This member of the tribe was very different. He seemed to have a fearless aura, which El had never seen in other people.

His eyes were not as dim and turbid as those of the previous members of the tribe.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, with a unique kind of unruly, as if everything in this world was taken lightly by him.

He even stuck out his tongue fiercely at the orc’s back when he turned around!

This is an interesting guy…

and he is full of vitality and hope!

Al has never seen such a person in the elves.

For a moment, his heart was full of curiosity.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently said:

“Are you… are you okay?”

The other party seemed to be startled. When he turned around and saw Al, he couldn’t help but shout out:

“Fuck! Elf?”

Al was startled by his voice and hid back slightly.

He saw the strange elf in front of him change his face several times, sometimes happy, sometimes excited, and sometimes complicated.

Al hesitated for a moment and asked again:

“That… you bleed a lot…”

“Are you really okay?”

Then, Al saw that the expression of this strange elf suddenly became very gentle.

The other party nodded, coughed up blood and smiled:

“Ahem, I’m fine.”

Al:…

“You… you vomited blood!”

He didn’t care about anything else and hurried forward to help the other party untie.

“You…were you also captured?”

He asked curiously while wrapping the wound with a piece of cloth.

After being freed, the strange elf nodded first, then shook his head:

“No, I’m just a well-behaved locator.”

El: …

…

El once again found that this strange elf spoke strangely.

After further contact, El found that although this elf was a little strange, he was a very gentle and optimistic person.

They began to chat.

This strange elf told many interesting stories, which made El and his sisters like him very much.

He knew a lot, and there were always some ideas that El had never thought of. All kinds of bizarre and interesting stories made El indulge in it.

Gradually, he fell in love with this interesting guy.

And through chatting, El also learned the origin of this elf.

He came from a very far, far away place and was a warrior summoned by the goddess.

Goddess?

Hearing this word, El became a little curious:

“Brother Demacia, do elves believe in other true gods?”

At this time, he saw the other party smiled, and his expression suddenly became a little profound.

“No…”

His expression became very pious.

He drew a tree-shaped symbol on his chest and said in a deep voice:

“There is only one goddess in my heart!”

When he saw the symbol, El was stunned for a moment.

Because his grandfather had drawn this symbol countless times!

The mother goddess of the elves… does it really exist?

Was he… summoned by the mother goddess?

For a moment, El actually felt a little dazed.

“El.”

In a daze, El heard the other party calling him.

He turned his head and saw the sight of the eldest brother of Demacia.

Demacia looked outside the cell, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of a naughty smile.

El followed his sight and found that four more orcs had appeared in the cave at some point, and they were holding a magical beast that seemed to have been ravaged by magic in their hands…

“Our allies are here.”

El heard the other party say this.
