Chapter 384 – Exile’s Pupil
Chapter 384 – Exile’s Pupil
Kong Sha’s red lips had turned purple, but they were still slightly raised.
“One …… of the most special …… of my eyes is the eye of a half elf. If Golza wants to make you into material, you …… eat it …… half crazy, better than dying ……”
Thor was stunned as he suddenly remembered the distant prophecy of the diary.
Could it be that the thing the diary told him to come to the Elven Valley to look for was not one of the treasures here, but rather Gortha’s eyes?
Then why hadn’t he been reminded of it the last time he met Kongsa?
Was it because things had changed somehow?
Reaching out, Saul plucked apart several white-haired eyeballs – they were just a little bit nastier without Kongsha’s spiritual power – and from the innermost part, he found one with black pupils and no hairy mutation at all.
This eyeball was hard to the touch, like it was made of crystal.
At that moment, the diary in Saul’s mind flipped open.
【Solar calendar 317 years, April 6, clear
It’s an eye that melds hardness and fragility into one…
It’s the power of a half-elf’s abandonment.
It will allow you to see between the false and the true.
And it can also chase you with taint, the
The pupil of exile.
Hush, don t stare …… at them]
At this time, Kong Sha spoke again, “Heh …… you deliberately left me a breath, just want …… to find it, right?”
“Little liar!” Kongsha’s lips began to tremble uncontrollably, and her lower body suddenly shattered in pieces.
It was like an ice bottle being dropped on the ground.
“Also good …… I hope you can fool Golza as well. They, the Glow Family, are the best at using people …… Let him taste the taste of being used as well ……”
At this time, the cracks on Kongsa’s body had spread from her lower limbs to her chest and abdomen.
Kong Sha suddenly shouted desperately, “Golza, I can’t advance to the third level, you don’t want to advance to the third level either! I’m in the abyss, waiting to see you mutate!”
“Ka-la!”
As if she had exhaled her last breath, Gortha’s entire body cracked and turned into transparent ice crystals, which in turn quickly turned into a puddle of dirty water mixed with impurities that flowed on the ground.
The Sorcerer Tower’s most powerful second level apprentice, the madman who once dared to utilize the Elf King’s head, disappeared from the world completely like this.
There were suddenly more flakes of snow in the air, drifting in curls inside the palace.
Silver-colored butterflies flew through the wind and snow to Sol’s side. “How strange, brother Saul, why is it snowing in the Elven Valley? It’s not like there’s a winter here.”
“Could it be caused by Kongsa’s lingering influence?” Saul thought so at first.
But when he saw the snowflakes that were drifting in the several halls in front of him, he dismissed this conjecture again; Kongsha’s power couldn’t affect such a large area yet.
“Brother Saul, the stairs have appeared!”
At Penny’s reminder, Saul hurriedly turned back, and sure enough, the twisted staircase appeared in the hall again.
“Let’s quickly return the Elf King’s head to the Pure White Throne!”
Saul stood up and picked up the still-beautiful head from the ground, only to realize that this face of the Elf King turned out to be a dark-haired, dark-eyed beauty in his eyes.
“Penny, what does this head look like to you?”
Penny immediately answered crisply, “Silver eyes, long silver hair, so similar to our Nightmare Butterfly!”
As expected, this Elf King’s appearance changed based entirely on his own aesthetic.
Saul rotated the head in his hand, and he remembered that Kong Sha had once put this head directly on the outside of her head.
So this head should be hollow.
Just as he was thinking, he had seen the bottom of the head, and there was indeed a hole, but it was obviously not big enough for the size of Kongsha’s head.
“It should be the effect of sorcery as well, uh, this Elf King is so good looking on the outside, why is it so disgusting on the inside?”
Saul only took one look at the head wound and immediately averted his eyes in disgust.
He didn’t dare to recall the image he had just seen, and as soon as he did, he couldn’t help but gag.
“So how can something like this be taken outside?”
Saul took a deep breath, “Let’s go.” Before he left, he looked once again at the water stains on the floor, which were half-dried and not visible in their original human form.
Going up the twisted staircase, Saul realized that surprisingly, the snowflakes drifting in an unorganized manner had also appeared within the second level of space.
It was followed by the third and fourth levels as well.
After the fifth level, Saul began to close his eyes, but even then, he could feel the slight coldness of the snowflakes falling on his face.
When he came to the ninth layer, white brightness pierced through his eyelids, letting Saul understand that he had successfully arrived at the ninth layer.
He opened his eyes and saw the red carpet and the pure white throne at the end of it.
Penny danced to Sol’s side, “Master, just place the treasure on top of the throne.”
Saul nodded as he took a step in front of the pure white throne, but the head in his hand was not immediately placed on the throne.
“Penny.”
“I’m here, Brother Saul.”
“If I return the elf’s treasure to them, will they really open the passage to the elf’s valley?”
Penny was quiet for a moment, before slowly saying, “Brother Saul, in fact, the valley’s external passages were never closed, and the people here are actually just imprisoned by their inner desires.”
“You see it clearly. Tell us why.” Saul froze, not expecting this to be the case.
Penny gently landed on a carving on the back of the pure white throne chair.
“Brother Saul, you can see it too, right?”
Thor followed Penny’s example and placed his hand on the throne, then the room turned dark.
Saul turned around and was unsurprised to see the black, white, and gray planet appear behind him.
The massive planet was still slowly rotating on its own, and as it appeared, it was still oriented with the three continents of Statt, Nephrite, and Iskepper facing Saul.
With a movement in Sol’s mind, the planet instantly accelerated and rotated to the other side that possessed a huge depression.
That side was as deep as ink and seemed to be in perpetual darkness.
Only the tip of the tsunami that occasionally stirred up carried a hint of light white.
The deepest part of the depression seemed to reach right down to the earth, or perhaps deeper.
Sol wondered if the depression would continue to deepen.
If it continued, would it then one day suddenly burrow out from the other side of the continent?
Gush out in a black wave that would swallow everything?
“Is this the depression you’re talking about?” He asked softly.
Penny flew up and landed on Saul’s shoulder again, “Yes, brother Saul, I too saw this depression and entered the world of the elves before I realized why they suddenly disappeared from the world in the first place.”
Thor stalled.
Penny had actually entered the world of the elves?
Had it actually seen an elf?
And again, Saul wonders if he should find out the secret behind the elf’s disappearance.
But when he thought about the fact that he had now gotten his hands on the half-elf’s eyeballs and was in close contact with the elf king’s head, wasn’t it a bit too late to talk about avoiding danger?
He took a deep breath and self-checked his mental body.
It was in good condition, suitable for madness.
“So what happened to the elves? And why did this depression make them disappear?”
“Brother Thor, the image you’re seeing now is actually a fragment of a scene that the Elf King once saw back then.”
“At that time, the old king had just died and the new king succeeded. The original Elf King only had the strength of a peak third-order sorcerer, and with the added power of the Elf King’s identity, he squeezed into the world of the fourth-order. Originally, this wasn’t a bad thing. But he, he shouldn’t have gone and borrowed the entire spiritual community of the clan to observe the one-sided truth of the world when his realm of strength was unstable.”
Penny let out a sigh.
“He was probably just too eager to prove that he wasn’t inferior to the old king.”
“You’re telling me that the new elf king led his entire clan to destruction after seeing the dent? What exactly was that dent?” Sol asked.
Penny smiled bitterly and said, “I’m not sure, brother Saul, if I was sure, I would have gone crazy by now too.”
