Chapter 437 Witch? Goddess?
The death of the Demon King did bring great confidence to the human race.
However, Gary's heart and magic eye were snatched away by another unknown demon king who suddenly arrived on the way to Sogel City.
The incident happened suddenly, and the devil succeeded extremely smoothly, as if he had planned the action in advance.
It was as if he had known that Gary Erdie would die in Nollen City and had been hiding in the dark.
. . . . .
The long river of time passes slowly, from lush branches and leaves to falling leaves, as if it only takes a breath.
The man carrying his sweetheart on his back, his short black hair turned into a snow-white waterfall at some point, his body was no longer straight, and his steps became smaller and smaller.
The two of them seemed to have walked this road that had no end in sight for a hundred years, or even a thousand years.
They have long forgotten the time and cannot distinguish between day and night.
The only things that never change are the road under your feet, the people behind you, and your burning heart.
Until one day, the old man could no longer exert any strength.
His dim eyes could not accept even a ray of light.
At this time, there was only one voice echoing in his mind, pushing him forward from beginning to end.
I hope one day you will come to save me.
The man didn't know where he had heard this sentence, nor did he know who said it.
Blurred voices, confused memories.
He only remembered that he had to take the woman beside him to the end of this road, and that was all.
After closing my eyes, the whole world became quiet.
There was nothing in front of my eyes and I couldn't hear any sound.
The body seems to be touched, but the touch gradually disappears.
Along with it disappeared the mountains of fatigue.
The heartbeat slowed down and finally stopped.
The man knew that he had reached the end of this road called life.
"One day, I will save you."
"call..."
Miss suddenly sat up, gasping for breath.
He looked at the unfamiliar environment in the room and felt a pain in his head.
Lifting the warm quilt, getting off the wooden bed, Miss walked to the window.
A young face was reflected in the lake-like window, allowing him to see his own appearance clearly.
Miss touched the wreath under her earlobe and remembered something.
"Hestis?"
When you open the door, the refreshing fragrance fills your nose and countless petals dance in the wind.
This "ocean" is still surging.
Not far away, a hammock made of flower petals swayed slowly like a huge flower basket.
Next to the "flower basket" stood a girl gently waving her arms, as if she was the conductor of this chorus of flowers.
Mis took a step forward and slowly approached.
"Hestis?"
He couldn't help but shout out, and the girl stopped moving.
Miss didn't know why, but after seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, she couldn't help but call out Hestice's name.
The girl slowly turned around, her white skirt fluttering, lifting up the nearby petals and circling around.
"you're awake."
The girl seems to be synonymous with purity and beauty, and the wreath on her head is particularly dazzling.
After Miss saw that face, her previous headache became even worse.
"You are not Hestice, you are... You are the Elf King, the Goddess of Life."
There is no doubt that the wreath on the head is a symbol of the girl's identity.
The Elf King in front of him looked completely different from the one he had seen before through the power of the world.
Not only did the girl now bear some resemblance to Hestice, but she also had a feeling that Miss was more familiar with.
I must have seen this somewhere, he thought.
However, Miss could no longer remember where he had seen him.
"I am the Elf King, and I am also Hestice, but unfortunately I am not..."
Not the one you're looking for.
"Are you Hestis?" Missy looked surprised.
The Elf King waved his hand gently, and the flower basket hammock beside him turned slightly to face Miss.
"The person you are looking for is here."
Mis staggered forward and saw Hestice falling into a coma in the flower basket hammock.
This was the Hestice he was familiar with.
In an instant, his mind cleared up.
He instantly understood the reason why he was here and the congratulations from the Elf King.
It's like waking up from a dream.
It’s just that this dream lasted for quite a long time.
At this time, Miss discovered that Hestis did look a lot like the Elf King.
With an expression of disbelief on his face, he looked at this and that, as if he was confirming something over and over again.
"What's happening here?"
The Elf King also looked at the face sleeping in the hammock. "As you can see, this child has a part of my consciousness, or in other words, she is another me."
"What?" Missy's face was full of astonishment.
Hestice is the Elf King, and the Elf King is Hestice.
"In other words, the [Witch] hated by the people of Veratis is actually the [Goddess of Life] they believe in?"
The Elf King explained: "But don't worry, she is now an independent individual and will not be affected by me in any way."
Only then did Miss realize that the Hestis he knew was equivalent to the eyes that the Elf King used to observe the outside world.
The Elf King will not interfere with Hestice's thoughts, nor can he make any decisions for Hestice. He is just a simple eye.
"No wonder you gave me hints on how to pass the maze before. It turns out you did it to help your own people."
Hearing what Miss said, the Elf King quietly turned his face to the other side and whispered, "It's not all for that child..."
"Have I completed the [Great Labyrinth·World Tree]?" Miss asked.
The Elf King calmed himself down, turned around and nodded slightly, "Yes, congratulations, you are the first person to come here."
Mis was in a trance. He felt as if he had done nothing, yet he had somehow passed the maze.
He pinched himself secretly and it hurt, so he knew he wasn't dreaming.
The Elf King seemed to see his confusion and said, “This maze is actually a person’s life.
You have walked through your entire life in the maze carrying your [wish], proving that you are committed to that [wish] until death.
When time can no longer stop you, you have already walked out of the maze."
Missy took a deep breath as he recalled the life that existed only in his dreams.
"So, you will fulfill my wish and remove the curse from Hestice?"
The Elf King nodded again, "Yes, your [Wish] has been tested by time and recognized by the World Tree. I will help you realize it."
Hearing this reply, Miss was completely relieved.
He gently stroked Hestice's pale hair, a gentle smile on his face.
"I told you I could save you. See, I didn't lie to you."
His soft whispers to Hestice were heard by the Elf King beside him.
The Elf King grasped his dress tightly with trembling hands, and then quietly let go after a moment.
"I will remove the curse from her, but..."
Mith frowned, "But?"
The Elf King was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "Nothing, nothing...what..."
Seeing her strange look, Mis became confused.
Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed in a trance.
The sea of flowers is gone, and so is the wooden house.
