Chapter 777: Erza's past
As soon as Ersha said this, not only the people present, but even the subordinates on the other side couldn't help being surprised.
As the chief illusion master of the cold flame royal family, Erza, who is quite famous in the human kingdoms, is surprising enough that she is a dark elf.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace who once controlled half of the holy night!
You must know that even the top aristocratic families in a country cannot compare with the power of the Moon Palace, which is almost equivalent to the royal family.
"Don't get me wrong, I escaped from the Moon Palace before officially becoming the Saintess of the Moon Palace, and finally came to the Kingdom of Cold Flame."
Erza smiled embarrassedly, and added: "I'm really glad I made the choice at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be working under the lord's command now, and it would be impossible to get to know everyone."
"Elusha, so the thing you said at the time that you don't want to be bound by the established destiny refers to becoming the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace?"
Lei Xiao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked.
"That's right, my lord."
Ersha stroked Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, her starry eyes blurred and she continued to talk.
"My lord, the family I belong to belongs to the family of priests in the kingdom of the dark elves. They are in charge of the sacrifices and celebrations in the family. After the agreement between Her Majesty the Queen and the first Holy Night King, they have an additional responsibility. That is the Saintess of the Moon Temple who is serving as the Kingdom of the Holy Night..."
After Ersha's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.
Erza's family is quite large. Every hundred years or so, a female dark elf will be selected from the younger generation to go to the Kingdom of the Holy Night to serve as the saint of the Moon Palace and fulfill the promise made by the dark elf queen back then.
As for the elves whose lifespan was as high as a thousand years before they practiced, why do they have to replace the saintesses of the Moon Palace every hundred years?
One is to not arouse the suspicion of other human nations.
The second reason is that the Queen of the Dark Elf is unwilling to let the saintesses of the past generations be contaminated with too much human breath, and then fall into the vortex of power, which is the reason for this decision.
After all, a hundred years, for the elves with a long lifespan, can only be regarded as a fleeting moment in life.
Thirty years ago, after careful selection by the clan, Elusa obtained the qualification of this generation of Moon Palace Saintess.
"According to Her Majesty's regulations, each generation of the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace needs to serve as a servant of the Holy Maiden in the Moon Palace for 30 years before officially taking office, so as to understand everything about the previous Holy Maiden, including the handling of all affairs of the Moon Palace, and even In terms of the relationship with every family in the Holy Night Kingdom, and even what kind of intersections they have had, etc."
"In this way, we can better fulfill our promise on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, seamlessly connect with the previous saint, and there will be no possible mistakes."
"After all, the fact that the Saintess of the Moon Palace is a dark elf is the top secret of the Holy Night Kingdom. Except for the monarchs of each generation, no one in the Holy Night Kingdom knows, including those who are loyal to the Moon Palace. Of course."
Erza sighed softly, and continued: "Even the dark elf kingdom where the subordinates are located, only the royal family and the elders of our priest clan know about it."
When Ersha just said this, Lei Xiao first signaled to Ariel to pass her a cup of tea, and then asked with frowned eyebrows: "So, the so-called special secret method of the Moon Palace can make the former Saintess of the Moon Palace Before dying, transferring the memory to the next Moon Palace Saintess is just an unfounded rhetoric, right?"
"As expected of the lord, you can see through the essence of the matter at a glance."
Erza gratefully accepted the teacup from Ariel, nodded hastily and said, "This is the idea of the first generation of saintesses. In this way, the mystery of the saintess of the Moon Palace can be increased. He can also retreat perfectly and return to his hometown quietly."
"It turns out that's the case. No wonder this kind of secret method is unheard of, and the new moon palace saintesses are all young women who have just grown up."
Ariel looked suddenly enlightened, and pondered: "If it is an elf, everything can be explained."
"Elusha, then why did you give up your position as the saint of the Moon Palace and choose to escape from the Moon Palace alone?"
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and asked the question that cared most in his heart.
"Returning to the lord, there is actually no serious reason, it's just that the subordinates are too timid and retreat temporarily."
Ersha held the steaming teacup in both hands, her starry eyes dimmed and said: "To tell the truth, my lord, the former Saintess of the Moon Palace is a cousin of the subordinate clan. She has studied and grown with her subordinates for nearly a hundred years. The relationship was very good, until she was chosen to be the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace, and she was suddenly far away from the lives of her subordinates."
"However, because this cousin has taken good care of the subordinate, the subordinate has always remembered her vividly and missed her very much."
"It wasn't until more than seventy years after we parted with her, or thirty years ago, that this subordinate also became the successor of the Saintess of the Moon Palace, and then went to the Kingdom of the Holy Night, only then did I have a relationship with that cousin. Opportunity to meet in advance.
I saw Ersha's fair face transformed by illusion, full of solemn and unbearable complex expressions, obviously recalling some unforgettable past events.
"In the beginning, my subordinates were looking forward to meeting my cousin. After all, I haven't seen her for more than 70 years. My heart will always be full of excitement and joy. Besides, my subordinates will soon take over my cousin's job."
"However, when the subordinate actually saw the cousin whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he froze on the spot."
Erza's voice began to tremble.
"Although the cousin's appearance has barely changed, it gives the subordinates a very strange sense of distance, and even makes the subordinates feel a little panic."
"Her eyes no longer had the clarity and softness they had before, but were replaced by depth and sharpness. There was no innocence or smile on her face, only a capable and hostile look. cold."
"Although the subordinates at that time did not understand why she would be completely changed in the short period of seventy years, they clearly understood that she was no longer the cousin who cared for her subordinates back then. ..."
Erza's voice became smaller and smaller until she finally said nothing.
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao already had a general understanding of Ersha's reason for escaping from the Moon Palace.
As a foreign race of dark elves, they are not good at intrigue and intrigue between the nobles and high-level people of the human race, let alone such a high position as the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace.
It is conceivable that, as the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace personally selected by the queen of the dark elves, she herself needs to shoulder the duty of guarding the Kingdom of the Holy Night.
This undoubtedly means that it not only needs to ensure that the Holy Night Kingdom will not be ravaged by foreign enemies, but also needs to balance the power struggle within the palace to ensure that the Holy Night Royal Family will not be replaced.
Under this kind of double pressure, after seventy years, completely changing a dark elf is naturally nothing more than a normal thing.
"It seems that the Saintess of the Moon Palace on Holy Night is definitely not as glamorous and mysterious as it appears on the surface."
Sighing in my heart, I saw Lei Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Elusha, I have fully understood that it is precisely because you don't want to be as strange as your cousin that you chose to leave Moon Palace, right?"
"That's right, my lord, my subordinates really couldn't imagine that I would end up like that in the end, so I had to choose to escape there in embarrassment until today."
Erza's slender shoulders trembled slightly, she lowered her head, and murmured: "I'm sorry, my lord, my subordinates have let you down."
"Elusha, everyone has things they are good at, and things they are not good at. For example, some people are suitable to be warriors, and some are suitable to be magicians. It doesn't mean that you have not become the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace. No talent, let alone disappoint me.
Lei Xiao patted the other party's shoulder lightly, still maintaining a smile and said: "Furthermore, if you really become the Saintess of the Moon Palace, then who will guide me to untie the bite at the critical moment?" Dreamland, and then lay a solid foundation for victory?"
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, the other subordinates present also nodded their heads.
The reason why the lord was finally able to successfully break through the absolute death domain of Kongqing Town, Erza is indeed indispensable.
"My lord, it is a great honor for my subordinates to be recognized by you!"
Erza's slender body began to tremble slightly again, but just now it was because of unstoppable loss, but now it is because of unstoppable excitement.
"Elusha, as for why you are resented by your sister, is it because you left the Moon Palace?"
When the mood of the dark elf woman calmed down a bit, Lei Xiao asked softly again.
"As the lord said, Teresa was selected as the new successor of the Moon Palace after her subordinates left the Moon Palace. After thirty years of serving as a servant, she successfully became the became the current Saintess of the Moon Palace."
Erza nodded to Lei Xiao, her eyebrows drooped and said: "To be honest, my lord, Teresa is actually not conspicuous in the clan, and she will be chosen to fill the vacancy of a subordinate in the end. Unexpected things."
"But when the subordinates learned of all this, it was useless until the subordinates summoned up their courage and secretly found Teresa."
"At that time, Teresa had just arrived in the human race's territory not long ago. She originally needed the company of her relatives the most, but when she looked at her subordinates, she only had disgust and resentment. She complained that the subordinates were humiliating the family. Blame subordinates for cowardice and incompetence."
"It's no wonder, after all, this subordinate is the first heir to the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace who escaped in history. Although the tolerant Queen did not anger the subordinate's family because of this, the subordinate's parents could not hold their heads up in the family because of this. Since then, they have been ridiculed by other clansmen, who laughed at their parents for having such an incompetent daughter."
Erza's star eyes were full of self-blame and guilt, and she lowered her head again.
After a pause, Erza smiled wryly and laughed at herself again: "Through the matter now, Teresa, who has successfully succeeded the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace, has also been commended by Her Majesty the Queen in accordance with the usual practice, and has successfully advanced to the fifth-rank powerhouse. Why don't you look down on this incompetent sister of your subordinate?"
"Elusha, don't belittle yourself. You are a vital and indispensable part of me and the territory. You have proved this from the beginning."
Lei Xiao nodded to the dark elf woman, and said solemnly: "Although my strength is limited now, if we successfully overcome this difficulty and grow stronger, I believe it will not be long before I will ask you My sister and everyone in the Dark Elf Kingdom have proved that you are not weak and incompetent, but rather the best one."
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's heartfelt encouragement, Erusa's eyes couldn't stop sparkling, and she knelt down involuntarily and said, "I'm looking forward to that day!"
At this moment, Ersha's heart was full of thoughts.
If it was any human race, she would probably sneer at such insolent words, after all, as a dark elf, she clearly understood.
The dark elf kingdom she is in, although the population is far smaller than any human country, its overall strength is by no means comparable to any human country, or even incomparable.
But the lord in front of her has created countless miracles in front of her!
She believed that this young man from another world from Great Xia would definitely do what he said and bring her her own miracle!
Just when Ersha's heart was throbbing, she saw that Lei Xiao had already sat back on the throne at the top, and ordered to all the subordinates present: "Okay, the matter of retreating the Holy Night Army will be handed over to you." Let me and Erza do it, and all the places will still follow the deployment just now, and just push forward with all their strength."
"Obey! The subordinates will go all out!"
The uniform response from all the subordinates immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Everyone, just like what I said just now, everything depends on human effort."
Lei Xiao looked at the resolute expressions of the subordinates at the next position, nodded with satisfaction, and said awe-inspiringly: "Although the front is thick with fog, full of thorns and murderous intentions, but I ~ As long as we work together, we will surely succeed." It will be unstoppable!"
"We will be unstoppable!"
The more excited voices of the subordinates resounded throughout the hall.
"Next, let me take a good look at what kind of expression the menacing Saintess Teresa of the Moon Palace will have when she faces me and Erza."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, stood up from the throne again, his gaze was firm.
I saw Lei Xiao walking towards the first position, and said to the main subordinates who were already ready to go: "Get ready to go, the destination is the center of the 250,000 Holy Night Army, the location of the Saintess of the Moon Palace!"
"Obey! Your lord!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's instruction, all the subordinates of the main force immediately surrounded Lei Xiao, ready to go.
Then, when the slender hand of the half-elf magister Jiang Li was waving, a bright light gray light flashed, and the group of people disappeared in place in an instant.
