I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years - 651. 18. Tomb Keeper
Hill thought it over, nodded and agreed to Ivan’s proposal.
Although she wanted to continue to search for her mother in this undead country, the previous facts had proved that her own force could not protect herself here.
Although the darkness has receded, there are still many demons in this country, among them there are many powerful demons fused with the underworld warriors, these are not enemies that she can deal with.
Even Leia, who had undergone the most rigorous training in the Palace of Heaven, was swallowed by the great devil here. Even if she met the guardian knight, she couldn’t guarantee 100% that she could safely reach her mother’s residence.
Ivan looked very strong, but Hill was not naive enough to ask him to escort him to his mother’s house.
It would be better to say that Ivan can rescue her and provide her with a safe place. In this doomsday era, it is the end of his benevolence.
So Ivan took out the flower ring and put it on his hand.
Space replacement, he and Hill both came to the round square.
With the death of the Demon King, the time here seems to have changed. The setting sun in the sky is set and replaced by a picturesque starry sky. The stars in the sky are shining brightly and beautifully.
The tomb-keeper girl did not continue to weave the wreath, but came to the ruined fountain in the center of the circular square, looking up at the starry sky.
Her eyes were covered with cloth strips, and she could not see the starry sky, but she still made a gesture of looking up.
Ivan took Hill to her side.
“Master Knight.”
Hearing the footsteps of Ivan and Hill, the grave guard girl turned her head and asked him:
“You’re back? Did you bring back a sane person from outside this time?”
“Um… this child is called Hill, I heard it is the child of Hilser, King of Dawn.”
Ivan pushed Hill gently.
“…Hill?”
The grave guard girl stretched out her hand, gently touched the cheek of the princess of light, and then smiled:
“I can’t see it anymore, but you must be born as good-looking as your mother.”
Hill was touched on her cheek by this young girl, but she inexplicably felt a kind of elder’s majesty from her. She held her breath and asked cautiously:
“May I ask you are?”
“Your mother’s former friend is nothing but a trivial elf.”
The grave guard girl replied gently.
“Can you get her out of the space of the underworld and stay here directly?”
Ivan asked.
“Can.”
The grave guard girl stretched out her hand to hold Hill’s hands, and a faint light radiated from her palm. Ivan felt a spatial change and dislocation, and then the grave guard girl said:
“Okay, let this child stay here for the time being, before her family and the knight can find it.”
Hill thanked her, and the grave guard girl shook her head and smiled:
“It’s okay. Your mother and I were friends. I think you must have the same star-like eyes as your mother.”
“That used to be your eyes.”
Ivan suddenly interrupted the tomb-keeper girl and said to her:
“Isn’t it? Eve.”
“…”
The grave guard girl suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, she whispered with some choking:
“Do you remember? Sir Knight?”
“Thanks to the demon king, I remembered something.”
Ivan answered like this.
“Hill, you can rest in the next room first.”
The gravekeeper girl pointed to a small stone house beside her, and said to Hill:
“I cleaned it. Although it’s very crude, it’s not dirty at least.”
“Um.”
Hill had a foreboding that Ivan and the grave guard girl had something to say that she didn’t want to hear, so she also nodded very kindly, left the circular square, and entered the house on the side.
“Master Knight.”
The grave guard girl sat on the guardrail of the dilapidated fountain, and then patted the place around her with a little coquettish touch.
“Come and sit down.”
Ivan sat next to her, and the tomb-keeper girl tilted slightly, actually leaning on his shoulder.
“How long hasn’t I done this since the beginning of the Bright Era…”
She looked up at the stars in the sky.
“Although I know that this era we created is very beautiful, it makes no difference to me. On the contrary, I think that the dark era can make me feel warmer.”
Ivan touched her silver-white hair, then stretched out his hand and gently removed the strip of cloth that was covering the eyes of the tomb-keeper girl.
In the process of removing the cloth strips, the body of the tomb guard girl shivered slightly, as if she was afraid of letting Ivan see the eyes under the cloth strips, but she finally obeyed and let Ivan take it off smoothly. The cloth strips.
Under the cloth strips were closed eyes, and there were some residual blood marks on the corners of the eyes. The pair of beautiful eye pupils that were unique in Ivan’s memory are now gone.
Ivan stretched out his hands to hold her cheeks, feeling a little distressed, he asked:
“This is… Mrs. Hilser, did Yuriel do it?”
“You actually know?”
The grave guard girl Eve rubbed his palm lightly and asked back.
“It’s not hard to guess, since you said that Hill [the same as your mother’s, has a pair of star-like eyes], now looking at you, I probably know who took your eyes away.”
Ivan replied:
“I can’t remember many things, but I still remember that since I took Hilser out of the human race and stepped into the land of the elves, Yuriel had a secret affection for Hilser, and I also saw it. It can be concluded that the person Hilser wants most is you. Since you did not become the queen of the King of Dawn after I was sacrificed, then the queen is naturally Yuriel, why did she take your eyes away? ”
Eve turned his head to face the sky, then tilted slightly and fell on Ivan’s knee.
“At that time, when I learned that you were sent to the throne by Hilser and the others, I knew that Hilser and the others betrayed you. Hilser thought I didn’t know, but he saw me drive away from the elves. He came and asked me to marry him, but I naturally refused.”
She recalled the past.
“At that time, among the nine knights except me, only Tris did not betray you. It can be seen that he also guessed something at that time. After the incident, he quietly searched for me, and I told him the truth. We each mobilized our influence in each race. I ran out of my resources and contacts. At the cost of quitting the leadership of the Elves, I built this tomb city around the Throne of Human Sacrifice. The Dark Iron Knight, protect you and the safety of the soldiers who are buried here. But Tris took a part of the human race away and went to the wilderness to secretly establish a country and maintain his faith in you. He was later killed Hilser and the others condemned him as heretics, conducted several crusades, and were displaced several times.”
Ivan was silent, and there was a pain in his heart, thinking of the demon god who was inhuman in the lava lake.
“And I, after your death, Hilser naturally did not give up thinking about me. He also considered forcibly using force against me, but because my magical power is higher than him, and my prestige is not weak. To him, so he can only think about it.”
Eve whispered:
“Just as he had thoughts about me, Yuriel had always been thinking about him, so one day, Yuriel came to the cemetery quietly and found me.”
