That was not the first time she went to the Dark Mountains, but her original mission was not to go to the Eternal Rift where the shadow elves were..
Her mission that time was just to help the Ring Tower collect some spiritual energy samples outside the Dark Mountains, but an accident happened soon. While observing the rare goatman tribe, she encountered the slave-catching team of the Shadow Elf Medjeva family..
she could have run away.
But her hopeless explorer character put her in a desperate situation.
She was brought back to the Eternal Rift. She thought she could have used her eloquence to complete a conversation with the Shadow Elves' matron, but the savage Shadow Elves didn't give her that chance at all and threw her directly into the Colosseum. inside.
Only then did she realize what stupid mistake she had made.
If my father hadn't been helping her, she wouldn't have survived the first year and would have died of various tortures！”
Mrs. Adele has never told anyone else about her specific life experience, and even Miss Femis does not know it. But tonight, her "fellow elves" broke her guard, and her trusted elders were by her side. Lady Adele finally revealed the past traumas she had been unwilling to mention..
Murphy didn't ask or interrupt, he just listened patiently..
He knows that all Adele needs now is to listen.
“My father was also a slave. His experience of appearing in that cursed place was the same as that of my stupid mother, but he was a half-elf, a half-elf in the true sense. His mother, my grandmother, was a woman in the first The huntress of the Winter Wolf Legion who unfortunately fell into the hands of the shadow elves during the Four Black Disasters had my father after a certain lewd insult..
My father was born in the Colosseum, and three months after he was born, my grandmother died fighting the beasts of the Underdark..
My father was very lucky. He inherited the intelligence of humans and the dexterity of elves, so he was noticed and adopted by a warrior captain of the Medjeva family. He lived as a slave since he was a child until he became a powerful fighter..
When my mother was thrown into the Colosseum, he was already the king of fighters of the Medjeva family..
His fame even spread throughout the Thirteen Shadow Elf Families in the Eternal Rift. Those hateful elves called him 'Hydra' to describe his superb martial arts..
I don’t know why my father protected my mother. Maybe it was lust, or maybe it was love? But the price is that the shadow elves cruelly demand that he must shoulder the heavy responsibility of two gladiators..
My father agreed. This was not a difficult task for his physical skills and martial arts skills..
In this way, my mother lived in the city of Mejeva for ten full years under the protection of her father. She was a 23-year-old idiot explorer when she went there, but ten years later she had become a still naive idiot..
I hate her stupidity！
Not just because she put herself in danger, but because my father ultimately lost his life because of her..
Unlike my father, who has become accustomed to the Eternal Rift and regards it as his hometown, my mother has been trying to escape. She used her father's prestige among the slave gladiators to form a secret group..
My father didn't agree with her adventure, but my mother still went her own way..
That cunning woman took advantage of her father's love for her. She bewitched her father to achieve her goal. One day when the mistress of the Aichine family came to visit, according to the rules of the shadow elves, a meeting between the two families was held. Gladiator jousts presented to distinguished guests.
my mother thought she had her chance.
She asked her father to create chaos in the arena and use the opening of the family city on that day to lead the slaves to escape from the Eternal Rift..
But her father knew her plan wouldn't work！
She underestimated the predictions about the future made by the fate-weaver girl of the Medjeva family. Perhaps all of this was under the control of the cruel elf matron. a brutal drama about freedom and escape.
That is what the shadow elves like to do the most. They will cruelly implant the illusion of 'freedom' into their slaves, and then ruthlessly extinguish it, in order to watch the pain of the slaves' mental collapse and use it as inspiration. happy.”
Lady Adele's voice dropped, hoarse and mournful.
Murphy knew that this story was about to turn. He put his hand on his heir's shoulder and whispered：
“But your mother succeeded, I guess because your father made an unexpected sacrifice？”
“I have no idea.”
Adele said softly：
“No one told me about my father’s final fate, but the facts are as you said, the escape that day went extremely smoothly. My mother, who had just given birth to me less than two months ago, led the slave gladiators who were unwilling to obey and escaped from Mei. jewa city.
But that's not a gift from fate.
When her father said goodbye to her, he told her to wait for him at the entrance to the Eternal Rift for three days. If he didn't show up, it would mean that his soul had returned to the Dark Temple of Avalon..
My mother waited seven days.
Neither my father nor the pursuers of the Medjeva family came. Only then did she realize what price she had paid for her freedom. The man who loved her most in the world was stupid for her. The idea of giving everything he could.
She has nowhere to go.
She could only take those slave gladiators and try to return to the place where she was born..
I don’t know what happened, but my mother did not cross the filthy swamp in the end. Instead, she discovered the hidden valley I told you about in the barren mountains, and led the gladiators who regarded her as their leader. survive there.
They were all half-elves, poor people who were denounced as 'bastards' and were not accepted by both races. We could only hug each other to keep warm..
But when I was ten years old, a group of hungry gnolls and trolls attacked our valley. My mother died fighting to resist the invasion. At that time, she had changed from a professional explorer to a sincere Ava. Believer.
I escaped from the chaos and was escorted through the filthy swamp by my mother's henchmen, Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice..
Their original intention was to send me back to Xico City to my grandfather and grandmother according to my mother's last wish, but there were terrible things in the filthy swamp. My uncle and aunt buried my bones there to protect me. I could only A man stumbles back to Transia.
People in border villages don't accept me, they see me as something ominous.
I was tired and hungry. I was beaten half to death for stealing. If I hadn’t met the eldest lady, I would have died there..”
“But you didn't return to Xico City.”
Murphy says：
“You seem unwilling to obey your mother's arrangements？”
“why should i obey？”
Adele, who has always been docile, asked in a rare moment:：
“Does my mother have any merits in her life that deserve my obedience to her? All her tragedies stem from her naivety and stupidity! The only thing worthy of praise is the pursuit of freedom, but look at what she paid for the thing she threw away with her own hands and wanted to find again.！
Compared to her, I respect the father I have never met more..
I believe that when my father died on that day, it was not just because of his love for my mother. I am more willing to believe that my father, who never intended to leave the Eternal Rift, died for me..
That man doesn’t want me or his daughter to live the same life as him！
As for a family that can teach a fool like my mother, what is the appeal to me?？
I would rather follow the eldest lady and become her servant.
Of course, I went there once when the city of Xico was destroyed by the plague, but as I expected, that family had long since disappeared into history, and their family crest had disappeared before the outbreak of the Ten Years' War..
At this point, the last contact between me and my mother has disappeared, which makes me feel more relaxed..
I'm Adele, master.
My name is bella bernice adele！
My name comes from my father’s gift and blessing when he finally left, and also from two elders who sacrificed their lives to protect me. They are both elders worthy of my respect..
But there's nothing about it that has anything to do with my mother.
I hate her.
I don't want to be like her, someone who only drags others down, that's all.”
fell into silence in the dark night.
After a few seconds, Murphy took out a handkerchief and handed it to Adele, whispering：
“If it weren't for the fact that vampires can't cry, I'm afraid you would have cried by now. This world obviously doesn't treat us gently enough. Just pretend to wipe away the tears crying out of pain in your heart. You need me and the eldest lady to help you beat it up. That arrogant bow knight? we are happy to do this.”
“No, it's not because she called me a bastard that made me feel so bad.”
Lady Adele pouted..
She held the handkerchief and whispered：
“I just suddenly remembered the past. I am a quarter-blood half-elf. I am neither a human nor a descendant of darkness. I do not belong to the forest. Now I no longer even belong to the world under the sun..
My identity is too complicated.
I don't even know how to fit me into the system of this world.
Mr. Murphy, do you feel this way?？
It's like being abandoned by the world.”
“Yes, I have.”
Murphy put his hands behind his back and looked at the night sky in the distance, he said：
“This feeling is called a vampire. Eternal sinners who will never be accepted, but I bear the malice from the world without even knowing what crime we have committed. Who else in this world can be more powerful than us? It's miserable？”
