Chapter 939: True or False

"I can return them to you, but you must let us go." Parila took the opportunity to make another offer.

She no longer had the luxury of keeping the Golden Apple Orchard.

Because Stelina was not alone, even if she agreed to give up the Golden Apple Orchard, the forces behind her would not agree.

It was better to take the opportunity to preserve herself and her forces.

Even if she did not make a comeback, there were still opportunities to plot other things.

Stelina fell into a long silence.

Not only was she weighing the pros and cons, she was also considering the credibility of Parila's words.

These drow elves would do anything to survive.

Lies and betrayal have penetrated into their bones.

She had been backstabbed by her mother once, and the wound in her heart has not healed yet. She didn't want to be backstabbed a second time.

But this matter was related to the whereabouts and life and death of her grandfather and father.

Even if she knew it might be a trap, she couldn't help but believe it.

"How can I believe you?" Stelina finally threw this question back to Parila.

Parila obviously knew her reputation and that of the drow elves, and she did not try to defend herself, but directly revealed her trump card, "Their souls have always been in the golden apple tree. Without the guardian's key, I manipulated and eroded the golden apple tree through the close relationship between their souls and the golden apple tree.

But without the guardian's key, the golden apple tree itself is not complete, and there is no way to fully control it."

When the two were talking, they were actually in a world where gold, purple and emerald green intersected.

This was the world of consciousness that belonged to the golden apple orchard.

When Parila finished explaining, a huge purple spider web appeared behind her. On the spider web, there were two spider sacs, which contained two elegant spirits.

One had white hair and beard, and the other had a trace of old age that could not be concealed.

There was a bit of similarity between his eyebrows and Stelina.

"Father! Grandfather!" Sterina couldn't help but shout, and then she said angrily, "Parila, you vicious woman, how could you do that? They are your relatives who have lived with you day and night for hundreds of years. Is your heart made of iron and stone? Is power really that important to you?"

Sterina felt her heart bleeding.

She didn't expect that the souls of her grandfather and father had been imprisoned as tools.

This is more tragic than dying directly.

If she had known earlier, she would not have waited until now anyway. She would have returned to the Golden Apple Garden long ago, even if she was alone and there was no hope for her.

"I've said before, I can't help myself. If I don't do it, other people in our family will do it. If they do it, not only you can't escape from the Golden Apple Garden, but even your grandfather and father's souls can't be saved."

Parila's expression was full of helplessness that she couldn't hide. She blocked Stelina who was about to rush to the purple spider web, "This is not an ordinary spider web, but the divine web of the Queen of Gods.

Unless I take the initiative to remove it, even if you destroy the divine web, you can't wake up your grandfather and father, let alone resurrect them."

Now Stelina is too lazy to refute Parila's whitewashing.

No matter how wonderful she said, it's useless if she doesn't agree with what she said in her heart.

She is more concerned about the souls of her grandfather and father now.

Stelina retreated and said: "I can let you go, and the other drow elves must stay."

"No, if you want to let them go, let them go together." Parila insisted on her own opinion.

It's not that she suddenly became noble and cared about the life and death of other drow elves, but that the drow elves in the Golden Apple Garden are all her direct descendants.

Once they all died here, even if she escaped alive to the surrounding cities in the Underdark, she would be left alone.

She would soon be eaten up by other family matriarchs.

Stelina was determined not to do as Parila wished, and said coldly: "You have two choices, either you leave by yourself, or you stay and let others leave.

You don't have much time to think about it.

When the Natural Balancer comes, it will not be entirely up to me.

At that time, even if I am willing to let you go, the Natural Balancer will not want to leave you as a trouble."

Stelina's threat was half true and half false.

During the time the two negotiated, Gavin injected three life forces into the core of the golden apple, which completely replaced the poisonous dragon breath left by the ancient green dragon.

The relationship between the golden apple tree and the dragon oak mother tree was vaguely established, and there was no need for Gavin as a medium, and the life force of the dragon oak mother tree continued to flow into the golden apple tree.

From slow to fast, from little to much.

It was only a matter of time to completely recapture the golden apple tree.

If she hadn't been worried that Parila would fight to the death and completely destroy the souls of her grandfather and father, she wouldn't even agree to the conditions of letting Parila go.

"Then I'll give it all back to you." Parila suddenly pushed the purple spider web towards Stelina.

Then the whole person disappeared directly from the sea of ​​consciousness of the golden apple tree and appeared in reality. Not far away, there was a purple crack more than one person high.

The high-ranking priestess of the drow didn't delay for a second and went straight in.

She answered Stelina's multiple-choice question with practical actions.

Compared with those drow subordinates, she cared more about her own life.

She didn't even trust Stelina to fulfill her promise.

The previous deal was just a means for her to attract Stelina's attention, so that she would have no time to split herself to intercept her.

She had already opened the portal in secret.

Stelina could only curse in her heart that she was despicable and watched Parila slip away.

Without Parila's control, the corrupt power of the drow elves was completely out of control and rushed everywhere.

She had to focus on controlling the golden apple tree and the souls of her two closest relatives.

Without the corrupt power of the drow controlled by Parila, the threat was greatly reduced.

Stelina's purification speed was greatly increased.

I don't know if Parila still remembers the old friendship.

She didn't do anything about the souls of Stelina's grandfather and father.

At least she didn't backstab Stelina again.

Stelina got what she wanted and saved their souls from the tide of the corrupt power of the drow.

"Little Lina? Is that you? Is it really you?"

"Little Lina, didn't I send you away? Why are you here? Is that bitch Parila unwilling to let you go?"

After the heavy drow corruption power wrapped around the two eladrins was defeated, they woke up from their coma one after another.

Their first reaction when they saw Stelina was not surprise, but anger, anger towards Parila.

"Grandfather! Father!" Stelina's voice was choked with sobs.

What a familiar voice of concern, she thought she would never hear it again in her life.

These words mean that their soul consciousness has been in deep sleep, and they have no idea what happened in the outside world, let alone the passage of time.

This may not be a bad thing.

At least it means that they have not suffered for more than 20 years, but have only been used as a tool to erode the golden apple tree.

"Palila, that bitch, no matter how vicious a beast is, she won't devour her own children. She even spared her own flesh and blood. I was blind, I was blind. I will kill her, kill her with my own hands." Carillo was furious.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.

His beloved wife turned out to be a drow who had been lurking beside him for more than a century.

For the sake of profit, she sold them out without hesitation, trampling his sincerity in the mud.

Now he was completely ignited because he saw his daughter.

"Carillo, calm down, look around, little Lina doesn't look like she is imprisoned... She is controlling the golden apple tree... She rescued us from the hands of Palila! Little Lina has grown up, how long has it been now?"

Compared with his father, Sterlina's grandfather Ankara is obviously calmer and more experienced, and he soon realized that something was wrong.

"Twenty-three years have passed! I came back too late! I have driven Parila away, and I am taking back our home." After all, Stelina was not the ignorant little girl, and she quickly mastered her emotions.

She briefly explained her situation.

"How can we let that bitch Parila go? She will pay for what she did." Carillo gritted his teeth.

"Carillo, calm down. No matter what she did was wrong, she is Stelina's mother." Ankara obviously cared more about Stelina's emotions.

He obviously hadn't adjusted his thinking yet, and still regarded Stelina as the elegant girl who was protected under their wings.

"I..." Carillo gritted his teeth in hatred, but he was helpless. He sighed in grief and anger and stopped talking.

Ankara looked at Stelina with a soft look and said, "Child, you have worked hard over the years. Leave the next task to me. Let us take back our home."

Without waiting for Stelina to answer.

A gentle but serious voice sounded in her mind, "The power cannot be handed over. Those drow are cunning and scheming.

The souls of your grandfather and father have been imprisoned in their hands for many years.

No one knows whether this is a trap for them to retreat and advance, so that they can make a comeback."

The voice was none other than Lord Virginia who was sitting in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

When Gavin used the method of guiding the power of life to connect the golden apple tree with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and introduced the power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree on a large scale, Virginia's soul consciousness had already penetrated in.

Just controlling the Dragon Oak Mother Tree for the first time in a dream had already occupied most of her energy. With Stelina in the upper hand, she would naturally not rashly intervene in the affairs here.

And this matter was mixed with Stelina's personal grudge, and it would have a counterproductive effect if she was not careful.

Seeing that Stelina was about to be blinded by the lost and regained family affection, she could only remind her.

Stelina only felt a buzzing in her head.

The joy of regaining what was lost suddenly dissipated.

Because Lord Virginia was not exaggerating. According to her understanding of Parila, she could definitely do such a thing, after all, she had done it once.

Family affection was worthless in her eyes, but a tool for her to gain more powerful power.

When she faced Parila before, she was able to resist her various temptations because of hatred.

Now because of family affection, she was almost deceived.

This is the sea of ​​consciousness, and various illusions and means of confusing the mind are easier to perform than in reality.

What Lord Virginia said was light. Whether the two souls in front of her were her grandfather and father, they had to be quoted.

The wary Stelina declined politely: "My grandfather and father have just escaped from trouble, and their souls are weak. They still focus on recuperation. I have grown up and should share more responsibilities for you."

She didn't know what kind of situation her two closest relatives were in, or whether they were mainly Rou.

Wait until the war is over, then identify their situation and prescribe the right medicine.

Stelina's answer clearly stunned Ankara, and she said with a gentler expression: "My little Lina is still as considerate as ever.

It's just that the golden apple tree involves far more secrets than you might imagine.

She is not only our home, but also the original apple tree of the material plane. She is closely related to the health of the apple tree of the material plane and has a heavy responsibility.

You still have a lot to learn.

We will have plenty of time in the future, after you have mastered all the knowledge you should master.

It won’t be too late for me to entrust you with the responsibility of guarding the golden apple tree. "

Ankara's surprise was clear.

Stelina is too young, and the responsibility of the golden apple tree is too great for you to grasp.

"Sorry, Grandpa, this is not my fault. Aunt Virginia also provided help. I am the only one who can cooperate. When everything stabilizes, I will return the control of the golden apple tree to Grandpa as soon as possible. ”

The more urgent Ankara wants, the more suspicious Stelina becomes, and the less likely she will hand over control easily.

"What? You actually used external force? Doesn't this mean that you are handing over the golden apple orchard to others? What is the difference between your behavior and that bitch Parilla?" Carrillo screamed loudly, and at the end of the sentence, his expression changed. There is a trace of resentment and disgust that cannot be concealed.

This kind of disgust is not only directed at Palila, but also at Sterina who is very close at hand.

Only then did Stelina remember that she now also had some drow characteristics.

Over the past two decades, she has adapted to this change.

However, the two closest relatives whose soul consciousness is still stuck in twenty years ago have obviously not adapted yet.

Faced with this situation, Stelina's joy was far greater than her anger.

Because their reaction greatly increases their own possibilities.

After all, if they were manipulated or disguised by the drow, they would definitely not react like this. Instead, they would blindly please themselves and strive to take back the right to control the golden apple tree.

Their current situation is more like being corroded and cursed by the corrupting power of the drow, and their temperaments have become somewhat distorted.

If this is the case, things will be relatively simple. At least we can find a way to purify them.

"Ankara!" Carrillo yelled angrily, "How can you compare little Lina with Parila?

Although Xiao Lina's skin color has changed, she is still the little girl we have seen since childhood.

If you can't trust her or your own daughter, is there anyone in this world who is worthy of your trust? "

"But the Golden Apple Orchard is our home and can only be protected by us..."

Before Carrillo could finish speaking, two emerald-green light pillars fell from the sky, enveloping him and Ankara.

A powerful force sucked them in, pulling them into the air.

"What's going on? Is there any misunderstanding here? Little Lina, I am your grandfather Ankara!"

"Strina, don't you want to imitate your mother Palila? How about abandoning family ties for the sake of control of the golden apple tree?"

Both Ankara and Carrillo changed their colors. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not break away from the emerald green light pillar.

"Don't blame Sterina. This is not her behavior, but mine. Before you blame others, you should first look at your own situation."

A translucent emerald green figure appeared in front of the two eladrin, it was Lord Virginia.

Seeing that Sterina was about to fall into the whirlpool of family affairs, she took decisive action to nip everything in the cradle.

"Virginia, you want to interfere with the Golden Apple Orchard? It's in vain that I valued you so much and entrusted Little Lina to your hands." Carrillo scolded angrily.

There is a blood relationship between the two parties, but it is a little distant and can be traced back to more than a thousand years. After all, the Yaling is an immortal species.

Even if it takes a thousand years, it is only a matter of three or four generations.

"What's wrong with us?" Ankara did not complain blindly. Instead, he was attracted by the words of Lord Virginia and turned his attention to himself.

Only then did they realize that strands of purple mist were flowing out of their bodies.

“Uncle Ankara is a smart man, why did he become confused this time?

You have been imprisoned by the drow for so long. Do you think that based on their character, they will not do anything to your souls?

If you are really doing it for the Golden Apple Orchard and for the sake of Stelina.

Just leave the control of the Golden Apple Orchard in the hands of Stelina, and you will temporarily rest in the Dragon Oak Dreamland. It will not be too late to start resurrecting your souls after it is confirmed that there is no problem with your souls. "

Virginia directly pointed out the whole matter to the two people.

"Alarmist! If there is something really wrong with our souls, how could we not feel it? It's all your illusion, you're just peeking into the apple orchard!" Carrillo firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Sorry, this is not a request." The Virginia lord did not have as many family concerns as Stelina, and with the further stimulation of the power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

The emerald green light beam falling on the two people became thicker and the suction force became stronger.

Before the two people's emotions became more angry and their words became more filthy, they were led directly to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

"Lord..." Stelina was about to speak but stopped.

Lord Virginia seemed to be very clear about General Yaling's concerns and explained: "I know the difference between the serious and the serious. I will not hurt them. I will just temporarily place them in the Dragon Oak Dream.

After the situation here is dealt with and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is temporarily safe.

I will take out time and energy to diagnose Uncle Ankara and Brother Carillo and find the crux of the problem. I will do my best to heal them."

"Thank you, Lord." Stelina breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can do your best to do things here with peace of mind. It is the best reward for me. I will wait for your news." Lord Virginia's figure faded again. (End of this chapter)
