Why is the Holy Son So Delicate?

After a night of preparation and rest, Pei Xia and Lucifer's group, led by the elf "Princess" Sophia, went in another direction.

The terrain inside the Emerald Forest is complicated, and it is often easy to go in the wrong direction without a familiar person to lead the way.

Sophia bit her lower lip lightly and walked lightly through the mountains and forests. He looked sad and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gradually, blood and battle traces began to appear in front, and everyone dismounted and slowed down.

Sophia looked into the distance and saw the figure in front with the excellent eyesight of the elves, she whispered: "Not long ago, the dark elves invaded the ground, many of us forest elves were washed away, and some People were taken away, and now the rest are standing outside the tree of life and resisting."

"The purpose of the dark elves is the tree of life?" Lucifer asked.

"Yes, the reproduction of the dark elves is very difficult. A long time ago, they wanted to erode the tree of life. Later, a war broke out between the two clans, and the dark elves retreated, so they hid in the underground of the emerald forest."

Lucifer said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, why do you want to return to the ground now?"

Sophia's eyes drifted for a moment, and she looked elsewhere with some avoidance: "I don't know."

"Forget it, go take a look first."

Lucifer and his party had a total of eight people. When the situation was unclear, it was not easy to directly intervene in the war between the two races, so they planned to go to the Elf Royal Court to find out about the situation.

Sophia led a few people to bypass the frontal battlefield and quietly returned to the back of the front line. The elves who were standing guard above the tree showed an overjoyed expression when they saw Sophia.

He jumped down at once: "Your Highness, you are back!"

"Well." Sophia nodded and said, "I brought back a few humans who are good at light magic. I think they can play a big role in dealing with demons."

The elves standing guard were suspicious: "Are humans really trustworthy?"

Sophia took his hand and nodded firmly: "They healed my injury, I believe, they are not bad people!"

Talking, Sophia turned her head, her long green hair was flying like a small grassland, he looked at Pei Xia and Lucifer and the others with a grateful smile: "We are friends, aren't we? ?"

Lucifer smiled slowly: "Of course, it is my mission to drive away demons for my friends."

With Sophia's guarantee, the forest elves quickly let go. When walking into the elves' royal court, Pei Xia saw many very distinctive buildings.

Most of the houses of elves are on trees, decorated with flowers and vines, and they are almost integrated with nature. People feel happy when they see it, and want to close their eyes and enjoy the peace and beauty of the forest.

Further inside, there is a stone building built on the hillside and the huge tree of life, which is the residence of the elf queen.

The tree of life has a thick trunk, shades the sky and shades the sun, and is shady with green leaves. The elf royal court below is atmospheric and exquisite, and the traces of the years of precipitation are still left on it, which is extraordinarily charming.

Passing through the human wall composed of elves guards, Sophia ran inside excitedly: "Mother, I'm back!"

Pei Xia and others followed, and saw the elf queen wearing a wreath on her head and leaning on a wooden scepter. The queen looked very young. In fact, she was almost a thousand years old. Seeing her child returning, she showed a moment of excitement. Pressed down quickly.

"Sophia, what happened? I heard you brought back some humans?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sophia took a few steps back, introduced Lucifer and his party to Queen Mirror Spirit, and mentioned the story that happened after the two sides met.

The elf queen pondered for a moment, and when she looked at Lucifer, her eyes were a little dignified, and she said, "Are you the holy son of the Light Sect, Lucifer?"

"Not bad." Lucifer gave her a slight salute.

The elf queen suddenly walked down, her long clothes dragged on the ground, her face was young and beautiful, but her eyes were full of the serenity and insight of an elder.

She walked to Lucifer, not knowing what she was looking at, she seemed to be a little wary, and that look made Pei Xia a little curious.

Although the relationship between the elves and humans is not very good, but they don't feel that they are going to harm them, right?

Finally, the elf queen broke the silence:

"Holy Son of the Light Sect, thank you very much for your help. Even if our beliefs are different, I believe that everyone will unite in the face of evil. Here, please let me express my gratitude to you in advance on behalf of the forest elves. "

Lucifer's smile remained unchanged, as if not affected by the attitude of the Elf Queen at all: "You are too polite, destroying demons is the purpose of our trip. I think it is normal for the two sides to join forces."

The Elf Queen nodded, and without being too polite, she directly told the situation of the battle.

In fact, the forest elves and the dark elves have been in a state of mutual control for a long time. They are comparable in strength to each other, but one is good at wood magic, and the other is good at fighting at night.

Therefore, they tacitly divided the emerald forest into two halves, day and night, ground and underground, and at night, even if the dark elves came to the ground to move, as long as they did not rub against the forest elves, the two sides would not be honest.

But now the king of dark elves chose to join hands with demons to capture the tree of life. Their strength increased greatly at night, and the forest elves were temporarily defeated and retreated, causing many casualties.

"The key is still the devil." Lucifer said after thinking for a moment, "The devil is not a trustworthy existence. I think the king of dark elves should also understand this, so he can't ignore the opportunity to join forces with the devil suddenly. "

The elf queen sighed: "Our forest elves are good at wood magic, and we don't know much about light magic that restrains demons."

"Please don't worry, we are here to solve this problem."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Actually, we have no right to interfere in the internal struggles of the elves."

The elf queen nodded, somewhat helpless: "Yes, if there is only a war between the forest elves and the dark elves, I will never let you get involved."

But now that demons are involved, that's different.

Lucifer continued to talk about his plan: the battle in the emerald forest was very scattered, instead of expelling the demons that appeared when the two sides fought, it was better to directly draw wages from the bottom of the pot and destroy the altar where the dark elf king summoned the demons. , and then take a long-term view.

Just like this, Lucifer will inevitably go deep underground and face danger.

Pei Xia quietly clenched the hilt of the sword. It was true that the great danger that Lucifer encountered in the middle happened when he was underground.

just now...

Pei Xia scratched his head, trying to persuade Lucifer to be safe. As an elf princess, Sophia has the seeds of the tree of life on her body, and can burst out extremely powerful power at critical moments.

Although Sofia and Lucifer are friends now, they don't seem to be very close. I'm afraid Sofia will not easily save Lucifer.

"Lord Holy Son, perhaps we should understand the strength and characteristics of the dark elves before taking action." Pei Xia advised in a low voice.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lucifer nodded and agreed.

Dark elves usually start appearing at dusk, and their whereabouts are strange and difficult to guard. The elf queen asked Sophia to entertain a few people.

"Please come with me." Sophia led them to a row of tree houses outside, reached out and grabbed the vines and jumped up.

Lucifer suddenly asked, "Do you know how to get to the world of dark elves?"

"what-"

Sophia, who was climbing a tree, was suddenly startled, her hands loosened, and she fell helplessly to the ground.

Pei Xia was taken aback, and immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Lucifer away.

Sophia, who fell to the ground with a thud: "..."

Lucifer leaned against Pei Xia in a panic, raised his hand and clapped his heart, trying to make his smile less obvious: "It's too dangerous, Your Highness Sophia, please be careful."

Pei Xia nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it is too dangerous to use only vines to climb the tree without building stairs. How about you, Your Highness Sophia?"

Sophia stood up slowly, patted the dust on the back of her butt, and smiled hard: "It's okay, I'm fine..."

"That's good, you are really a strong... princess." Pei Xia applauded.

Sophia twitched the corners of her mouth and pointed to the tree houses above: "Please rest here first, there are living utensils in it, and I won't show you how to use it."

After Sophia left, a few people entered the tree house. Pei Xia turned around curiously and found that there are many very convenient things made of magic, such as faucets. Even on the tree, you can easily wash your hands and clean.

Soon, some elves sent some fruit, Pei Xia went down the tree to get it, and was told that Sophia had something to do with her.

Pei Xia was a little dazed: "What's the matter? Are you in a hurry?"

The elf spread his hands: "I don't know."

"I want to protect the Son of God here, I'm sorry." This place is not the same as Artena City, it is not safe.

"It doesn't matter Pei Xia, I'm already here."

I don't know when Sophia changed her clothes again. The white and green long skirt reflected him very fresh and natural. He was holding a piece of clothing in his hand, the coat that Pei Xia had lent her before.

"Give this back to you." Sophia lowered her eyes and whispered.

"Okay." Pei Xia took it, but saw Sophia sigh softly.

He was a little puzzled: "what's the matter with you?"

The elf who delivered the fruit had already left, and only Sophia and Pei Xia were left under the tree. He asked in disappointment, "I'm just a little lost."

"confused?"

"Do you know why I wear women's clothes?"

Pei Xia: "Isn't it because you like it??"

"wrong!"

Sophia bit her lip and said sadly, "Actually, it's because I like men."

Pei Xia: "...Oh." Coincidentally, so did I.

Sophia blinked at him expectantly and said, "Last night, you didn't show disgust after discovering my true gender. I think maybe you can understand me."

Pei Xia nodded: "Actually, this is normal. There are not many people who like the same sex."

"What about you, Pei Xia?" Sophia looked at him inquiringly, "I found out last night that you and Lucifer have a very close relationship, are you..."

Pei Xia was startled and blurted out, "No!"

Sophia: "? I haven't said what it is."

Pei Xia rubbed her hands nervously, feeling agitated: "In short, I have no other relationship with Lord Saint Son."

A thoughtful look flashed in Sophia's eyes: "It's just that it doesn't matter now, so do you like him?"

Pei Xia: "..."

At this moment, he felt that this question was difficult to answer.

Does he like Lucifer? There is no doubt that he often has feelings for him, but this is wrong and should not be!

Pei Xia has been avoiding thinking in this regard, as long as he doesn't want to, he will not suffer.

But if you say you don't like it, it's too against your heart, and if you say you like it, it's too frivolous.

And it's dangerous.

He hesitated and said, "Why do you think about this, I'm just his subordinate."

"Then what about Lord Saint Son, does he like you?"

"Please don't talk nonsense." Pei Xia said seriously, "Master Shengzi doesn't like men, he will be unhappy after hearing it."

He is a homophobic straight man, and he will definitely be angry if he is suspected of liking the same sex.

Sophia: "...Oh~"

Pei Xia: "Oh?"

Sophia covered her face as if sobbing: "Actually, it's because I fell in love with someone I shouldn't like. I thought the two were the same as me, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

So this is ah.

It's really painful to fall in love with someone you shouldn't like. Pei Xia sympathized with him: "Why can't you be together? Does the other party also like men?"

Sophia choked: "I don't know, at first, he thought I was a girl, and I didn't know his identity. But then... I didn't know how to face him and left. Now, we are on a hostile position, It's so painful!"

Pei Xia: "Uh this..."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Sophia asked, looking at him expectantly.

Pei Xia: "Actually, I haven't been in love yet."

Sophia was shocked: "...No wonder."

"No wonder what??"

"It's nothing." Sophia shook her head, glanced up, and said, "I've been looking for a way to get out, maybe we're wrong, I should fall in love with someone else."

"Empathy is indeed a method." Pei Xia suggested seriously, "You can find someone who can be with you."

Sophia smiled shyly and said, "So, what do you think of me?"

"You are fine."

"I mean, would you like me?"

Pei Xia was taken aback: "Your Highness, don't you want to try with me?"

Sophia nodded lightly, her eyes were erratic, and her smile was meaningful: "Although I am not as beautiful as Lord Saint Son, I have a heart that likes men."

Pei Xia: "...you're right, but I can't promise to try it with you."

"Why?" Sophia was a little puzzled, "Is I not good enough?"

"Of course not, you are fine."

Pei Xia sighed: "This involves deep problems."

The main thing is that we hit numbers!

Sophia shook her head regretfully: "Well, I appreciate you very much. If you change your mind one day, please think about me."

Pei Xia said politely, "Okay, and I wish you the best of luck finding the rightful son."

Sophia waved goodbye, and Pei Xia's heart began to be chaotic after he complained.

He patted his heart, turned his head, and was about to take the fruit up the tree. When he looked up, he met Lucifer who was expressionless on the tree.

Seeing Pei Xia, Lucifer very slowly showed a perfunctory smile.
