78. The Northwest of Jin has turned into a chaotic mess
In the script, if death is already clear and there is no room for negotiation, then… it will certainly happen immediately! Just like the words of the white-haired elf before me: for me, for the bloodline, for… the main storyline of the script, this moment is indeed the time of death’s judgment!
Afraid? Of course, I am not afraid! Because at the same time that the elf nun Ulashilu made her move, thunder split the sky, and golden light ruthlessly aimed to “cut off” the elf’s waist! The leaping lightning, even after leaving its master, did not pause, directly chasing after the elf, and after she had to swing her scythe to defend, it clawed out hideous marks on the ground!
“Mr. Oujilide, I have long said that dealing with these white-haired elves, communicating with them is just like playing the lute to a cow.”
Kefier’s strike and Nilu’s voice occurred simultaneously. And this is also the reason I am not afraid: although the plan had a slight mishap, this is still my home ground; at least… we are on high alert, just waiting for these two white-haired elf saints to appear!
So far, everything before me has been in preparation. Yet at this moment, I do not feel particularly happy. One reason is that small schemes mean little in the face of a death script, and the second…
Just now, the meaning of the elf Ulashilu was very clear: in the script, the white-haired elf bloodline they wanted to eliminate is none other than Lin Ke, the Grand Commander of the Merli United Kingdom, who is full of workplace affairs. Indeed, the main storyline… is just so.
[Lin Ke is the bloodline left behind by the white-haired elves.]
The script then appeared, and all previous guesses and doubts turned into certainty at this moment. Far away in the sky, close at hand, the main storyline in the script—the existence of the “key” to dealing with the white-haired elves’ domain power—is also the person these two white-haired elves want to eliminate. The bloodline left behind by the white-haired elves does not need to be searched throughout the kingdom; it is right beside me at this moment!
“It’s not exactly playing the lute to a cow, Nilu, after all, haven’t we confirmed… Lin Ke’s identity?”
I responded to Nilu and then took a deep look at Lin Ke beside me.
Regarding whether Lin Ke is the “bloodline” we are searching for, I began to have doubts when we accompanied Lin Ke to collect the territory of the Pige family, and Rose took the opportunity to be alone with me to ask some strange questions. After all, this fairy seemed less like she was looking for trouble and more like she was confirming whether my actions after finding the “bloodline” would satisfy her.
In other words, Rose is worried about my actions regarding the bloodline. Understanding this, the doubts I had earlier can also be explained.
Why did Lin Ke immediately get “infected” by the death script as soon as she connected with me? Because she is that important in the script. Why did the Lin Ke, who initially came to “do business” with us in the script, suddenly have the setting of an “orphan”? That is because Lin Ke’s true identity is buried here; why was Rose’s attitude so strange when mentioning the “bloodline”? Because… from the moment she found Lin Ke, she already knew Lin Ke’s identity.
“Eh!? Me!?”
Lin Ke, whom I mentioned, was startled, but this was just as I thought: Lin Ke herself is unaware of what this “bloodline” truly entails and… what kind of danger it brings her.
“Aha… is there anything particularly impressive about my birth?”
“Even if there is, you wouldn’t know it now, would you? For now, don’t worry too much, Lin Ke.”
I softly reassured Lin Ke; after all… even though I had finally found the “bloodline” in the main storyline, at this moment, I had no idea what I could do to help Lin Ke utilize her bloodline to counter the white-haired elves. So, let’s just consider it an extra “support,” and my plan must continue as usual.
As I looked on, Urasiru, who had just been repelled by Kefier, didn’t show any signs of anger. Even with the sudden appearance of two “ambushes” on our side, she seemed to have anticipated it, her expression calm as water.
“Miss Kefier, Miss Nilu, obstructing the ‘will’ of judgment will only increase the sins that need to be judged upon you.”
But now, I had no more concerns. The final conflict between Kefier and Nilu had long been resolved during the last danger. What judgment? What was there to fear!?
Kefier stepped forward: “So, if we make you disappear, does that mean the judgment against him can stop?”
“…”
What I wanted to do this time was to “break the death script”! And the targets, of course, were the two white-haired elf saints before me! As for Kefier’s earlier words, they were enough to leave Urasiru stunned! She probably never expected that this time we weren’t running away to the Merli United Kingdom, but rather… coming to defeat the “death script”!
“My two sisters represent ‘order’ and serve as the ‘blades’ of judgment.”
In the next moment, Ilushir, who had been merely watching, also drew her weapon—a scythe and a short sword bound by chains. The meaning of this action was self-evident.
“To put it simply: as long as you can deal with them, your remaining days will become very easy. I’ll keep an eye on this burden over here, but of course—extra pay is required; temporary commissions are even more expensive~”
Add! Anything can be added! Just add!
With Ilushir, the elven sorceress, “protecting” Lin Ke, and even me, this burden, Kefier and Nilu could feel a lot more at ease.
“Well then—please resolve this quickly; I’m already pressed for time over here.”
From this point on, everything no longer required my words.
I gestured for Lin Ke to step back to a relatively safe edge while keeping an eye on Kefier and Nilu behind me.
After all, while I wanted to break the death script, it was still these two big shots who were risking themselves to fight the two white-haired elf saints. I wouldn’t say their role was insignificant, but at the very least, I couldn’t hold them back.
“Nilu, Kefier, according to our previous plan, stay safe!”
We had already suffered a setback against the two elves once; this time, my plan to break the death script was simple: drag the battlefield to our home turf, and then… absolutely no slackening, not even a bit, to prevent them from unleashing that dangerous “domain” power!
“I’m sorry, my two sisters~ Today, I truly want to stop you.”
The “elven white knight,” similar to before, appeared before me and Lin Ke. As Ilushir fulfilled the promise to protect us, Kfeier and Nilu, without any hesitation, charged at the two white-haired elves.
The script of death—does it exist or vanish? At this moment, I don’t want to look!
