Chapter 271 The answer is hidden in Xiling's heart
As the full moon above Nield gradually set in the west, Ivan arrived at the lifting platform on the east side as promised.
The agreement with Tomba was signed before the half-dragons launched their attack.
So according to the agreement, every ten days, Tomba would go to Nield to trade supplies.
Today is indeed the tenth day, but what Alvin doesn't know is that Tomba's caravan will arrive at night.
Standing in the middle of the steadily rising platform, Alvin held tightly onto a piece of metal structure next to him, hoping to alleviate his fear of heights.
In fact, Ivan's trick usually works quite well. As long as he tries hard to hold on to something, his fear of gravity will slowly begin to disappear.
But at this moment, there was a noisy short man next to him.
"Pervert! Human pervert!
What did you do with that beautiful goddess in the room just now? "
"Hey! Pervert!
I’m talking to you!”
"It hasn't been long since my sister left, and you can't control your nature!"
"You used to have many maids like Annie in Radiant City!"
"Hey!"
Ivan's calves began to tremble again as his concentration was interrupted by the chattering loli voice in his ears.
It was not until the elevator reached the top and stopped steadily that Alvin stepped back onto the ground with the help of the operator at the top. Only then did his fear ease a little.
"I really don't understand... I can fly around, but I'm afraid of heights..."
Chatterbox Lian made the finishing blow, causing Ivan, who was leaning on his knees and gasping for breath, to give her a blank look.
Just as Alvin raised his head, a large area of bright light appeared in the distance - all of it was the magic light of [Light].
The leader was riding on a tall horse, and the outline of the armor on his body looked familiar to Ivan.
Obviously, those were not half-dragons.
As the team got closer, the half-elf, who had gray vision, recognized the characters on horseback.
"Huh? Isn't that the woman whose boots were licked by the pervert Revo?"
As if sensing the gazes of Ivan and Lian, the woman on horseback straightened her chest, and her deep and loud voice rang out in the night sky.
"Liz Toomba, lead three hundred warriors and fifty spellcasters from the Toomba family to support Nield!"
……
"Mother, you don't need to come to see us specially. There must be some people...who need you more than us..."
Ever since she came into contact with many secrets of the gods, Xiling has always had some vague guesses about the identity of her mother.
Iristraee, who was looking at Xiling carefully on the opposite side - let's call her Iris for now, was looking at her eldest daughter over and over again.
The last time he sneaked out to see his daughter, the girl was still a tiny little girl a little over four feet tall;
I didn't expect that in just such a short time, she has grown into a graceful young lady, and both her height and appearance are very similar to mine.
Besides not inheriting my blond hair, it’s all because of this child’s father, the hair color is so ugly…
Looking at the face that was almost the same as her own again, Iris gently brushed her finger across a mark on Xiling's face.
"Will it still hurt?"
The half-elf lady shook her head slightly.
She is now enjoying the warmth of her mother just like the little girl living in the ranger's cabin.
"Maybe at that time, there was no need to use this method to make you bear all this..."
Continuing to look at her eldest daughter with loving eyes, for Iris, Xiling was the little angel who helped her walk out of endless loneliness and emptiness.
"It's okay, mother, I've gotten used to this after so many years.
I wear a hood every day now, and other people can’t even notice it…”
“Wearing a hood every day? That’s not good!
My baby girl must be beautiful every day!"
"Mother... that would... be discovered."
Gently stroking Xiling's hair, Iris looked at this overly sensible half-elf with gentle eyes.
No woman would deliberately cover up her appearance, especially a young girl as beautiful as Xiling.
Over the years, my daughter has endured so much.
"That's right...wait a little longer, Xiling.
It's a mess up there now, maybe soon you won't have to worry about being discovered by those old-fashioned old guys anymore."
Immersed in the maternal love she had long awaited, Xiling put all her questions and doubts behind her.
If Ivan were here, I could let my mother see him too... No, it seems like I and Ivan haven't had anything going on yet...
Ah! Xiling! How could you become so... It's really shameful...
The plot in her head suddenly took a sharp turn, and Iris noticed with great sensitivity that her eldest daughter's cheeks were beginning to turn red.
"Well?"
She temporarily hid her doubts in her heart, just as Xiling also hid her doubts in her heart.
"By the way, I heard from Pol that you saw the white-robed skeleton Rillifane?"
Suddenly, Iris asked a question that Xiling really didn't expect.
“Hmm…eh?”
……
The white-robed skeleton Rillifen is currently in the ancient tomb underground in the Haze Forest, making arrangements for moving.
The fight in the Elf Courtyard was really brutal.
On one side are half-dragons with powerful combat abilities and special spells, and on the other side are fallen elves who bite people without regard for their own lives.
Although Rillifane was not optimistic about the group of elves who had lost their intelligence, it was these biting creatures that held back thousands of half-dragons for nearly a month.
What started as street fighting in the city slowly turned into close combat inside the White Tower.
The group of half-dragons seemed to be quite interested in the elves' ruins, and they were digging the soil while fighting.
The magical energy that can eliminate matter makes digging the soil extremely convenient.
His underground temple will soon see the light of day again.
In desperation, Rillifane had to temporarily leave the Frost Giants' living area and organize the two elves and a holy spirit who stayed in the temple to start moving to the ancient tomb under the Gray Haze Forest.
A certain holy spirit possessed by the stone statue was extremely excited about this.
If it were not inconvenient for him to move, this white ghost named Finn would have carried his stone statue and rushed over to find a banshee named Monkna.
Fortunately, there were still two creatures in the temple. Under the arrangement of His Highness Rillifane, they took him to avoid the frontal battle between the half-dragons and the Fallen and slipped into the dark ancient tomb.
"Be gentle! My stone statue hasn't been maintained for tens of thousands of years!
Big brother who can't stand the torture! "
Finn's white spirit was pointing the way to the porters in mid-air, fearing that some key parts of his stone statue would be knocked off.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're the guy who peeks under other people's skirts, please be polite when you speak!"
The figure in charge of moving the stone statue was in the pitch-black underground passage, controlling the direction of the statue with a magic force field while casually chatting.
"Okay, okay, you two should stop fighting with each other all day long..."
A pleasant female voice appeared in the passage, and the slender outline of the woman could be vaguely seen in the darkness.
"Thanks to Mr. Finn's help, I was able to recover."
A faint light came on, and a spell ball of [Light] appeared above the woman's head, revealing Lati's original exquisite appearance.
At the same time, the thin elf carrying the stone statue was also reflected.
"You should thank him, Leia..."
