173. The Amnesiac Tris
“Just participate in the election normally. You don’t need to prepare anything. Trust me.”
Reina said, patting Calysia’s head. But just then, Agnes also leaned on her wing, so she could only pat one little dragon’s head with one hand.
Mura couldn’t believe her ears, but she quickly understood Reina’s meaning.
Will the Goddess contact the elders in advance? If I count the contribution of the God Tree seed, with my abilities and the number of my supporters, perhaps it’s really possible. As long as she could find a way to stir up the supporters’ emotions on the last day, perhaps…
Twenty minutes later, the carriage landed smoothly on the platform extending from the castle.
Through a large gate covered in God Tree vines was Tris’s palace. She had ruled the dark elves for hundreds of years, and everything here was built for her.
Reina could smell the sweet scent of berries in the air, a hint of moist fragrance washing over her. The queen’s guards, seeing Mura arrive, all bowed their heads and made way.
Agnes stared at the guards’ clothes.
“Mom, their clothes seem to have even less fabric than the dragon race’s…”
“It’s a racial characteristic.”
Reina chuckled awkwardly.
They were clearly dark elves responsible for guarding, yet they wore sheer gauze dresses, exposing their shoulders, backs, and thighs. Compared to them, Mura’s black miniskirt seemed not so special, and even a little modest.
But the air in the forest was humid, and wearing clothes would likely make them damp, so they simply wore less. Moreover, the elven kingdom was located in the northeast of the central plains, with a warm climate. And with the protection of the God’s Tree, they didn’t need to worry about the temperature at all.
Entering the castle, following the stairs, they reached Tris’s room on the top floor.
After opening the door, in the cozy little room with green brick walls, the Dark Elf Queen Tris lay quietly on a double bed, covered with a quilt.
She had her eyes closed peacefully. Although she still had a body temperature, she looked as if she were already dead.
In the last battle, she had sacrificed a large amount of her life force to revive the first Elven King. She should have died from life force depletion, but Peter had interrupted her ritual in time, preserving her last bit of life force, which in a way, had saved her life.
Mura stepped forward and gently caressed Tris’s cheek, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
“Ten years ago, if it weren’t for Lady Tris taking a liking to me, I would still be working in some unknown factory. My mother and father had long since left me… Although we weren’t life-and-death companions, I’m very grateful that Lady Tris gave me this opportunity.”
For dark elves, betrayal was the most difficult thing to accept.
And Mura was definitely a qualified dark elf.
Just then, Tris opened her eyes.
She looked around at the people in a panic, her eyes filled with fear.
“You… are…”
“They are my friends,” Mura said with a gentle smile. “Tris, rest assured and sleep.”
“Mmm…”
Tris nodded and curled up under the covers, completely devoid of her previous vigor and decisiveness, as if she had become a different person.
Mura walked over to the group and said softly, “Tris has amnesia. Although she won’t die on the spot, in the future, she might just be an ordinary person with a destiny level of 1.”
“It’s all the Shadow of God’s fault. When will we ever have peace?” one of the guards said.
Mura didn’t say anything.
It was clear that the matter of the Dark Elf Queen hadn’t been made public yet.
In fact, Tris wasn’t just a sinner who had sacrificed the God’s Tree, but also an extremist who wanted to revive the first Elven King. The dark elves who learned of this would surely be extremely disappointed by the betrayal.
For a moment, a purple cross appeared in Reina’s right eye… a tainted cross.
[Eye of Light]
Tris’s body suddenly transformed into various pieces of information that flowed into Reina’s mind. Having recovered a large amount of her memories, she could handle it completely. Or rather, this was what the original Goddess of Light could do.
“…”
“I see.”
“She does have amnesia.”
“But something is still not right… Let me talk to her.”
Saying that, everyone, including Calysia, left the room first, leaving only her and the Dark Elf Queen alone.
The fluorescence outside the window shone on Tris’s face. A pair of azure vertical eyes met hers, making her tremble uncontrollably. As if out of a primal survival instinct, Tris didn’t show too much fear, but the trembling of her whole body had already betrayed her mood.
“Don’t worry, Miss Tris. I’m not your enemy, and I won’t hurt you.”
Reina realized that she was exuding a pressure at all times and quickly withdrew it.
“Okay.”
Tris obediently listened, but she still looked a little scared.
“I want to ask you about the first elf. After all, you’re probably the only one in the world who knows.”
Reina said.
Tris looked up and looked into Reina’s eyes.
“Yes, I know the first Elven King.”
“Is that so… Then tell me about it. In exchange, I will make sure you will never be harmed and will receive the protection of the God Slaying Society.”
Tris nodded. She had no reason to refuse. She didn’t know what the God Slaying Society was, but as long as she could live, it was fine… that’s what Tris said.
“I must revive the first Elven Queen.”
After thinking for a while, Tris finally said this.
“What makes you so obsessed with reviving her?”
She had amnesia, yet she still thought about reviving others. She didn’t remember anything, yet she still thought about the first Elven King.
“I don’t know…”
“I just think so. I think I should revive her.”
“Who made you do this? Your mother?”
Reina felt the truth was right before her eyes.
“I… don’t know.”
She shook her head again.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the Dark Elf Queen had probably been brainwashed by some magic.
Just now, Reina saw that the Dark Elf Queen still retained some memories.
Those memories were indeed the information about “reviving the first Elven Queen.”
Reina had asked Mura for information about the first Elven King, and at the same time, it was also recorded in some books that the first Elven Queen was the founder of water, ice, and life attribute magic, a true and genuine strongest magician.
“What happened in the Primordial Era that made you want to revive the first Elven King?”
“I think…”
Tris scratched her head, looking a little dazed.
“The first Elven King was betrayed by the Goddess of Light.”
“Many races were betrayed, and in the end, only the goddess and humans were left… because there can only be one god in this world.”
“So, she was killed by the goddess?”
“That’s right. The races betrayed each other, each for their own, and in the end, the position of god was taken by the Goddess of Light.”
Tris nodded.
Seeing that she probably couldn’t get any more useful information from Tris, Reina bid her farewell and left.
