Chapter 168: The Elven Queen’s Past
Although the Elven Queen said nothing, her expression said it all.
All of this was seen by Mike.
The Centaurs were a native race, and players could not choose that race.
Moreover, the Centaurs were very rare in Second World.
It could be said that the Centaur tribe was even more mysterious than Tree Spirit Village.
Therefore, it was the first time Mike had heard the term “soul stone”.
Although he did not know much about it, Mike could guess that this soul stone was something very important.
The atmosphere became a little strange.
The Elven Queen asked with a serious tone, “How did you know about this?”
Kordontimus did not answer the question directly.
“You don’t have to worry about that. You just need to answer yes or no.”
After a moment of silence, the Elven Queen finally nodded.
Kordontimus smiled slightly and nodded. “In that case, it’s not strange.”
He slowly turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff step by step. As he walked, he said,
“The Centaurs used to be a race that loved peace. But as they developed, the Centaurs grew stronger and stronger, and disagreements appeared.”
Mike and the Elven Queen looked at each other and followed Kordontimus’s footsteps. They listened to him quietly.
“Soon, the Centaurs split into two factions. One was the war faction. They were very dissatisfied with the Centaurs hiding despite their strong strength.”
The Elven Queen nodded and said a name.
“Richards Gerald, he is the leader of the war faction of the Centaurs.”
Kordontimus nodded and continued, “That’s right, Gerald’s attitude has incited many Centaurs. They are not satisfied with the crowded small territories, and they want to expand their home.
“But the other faction disagreed with them. They thought that war was an endless cycle. Today, the Centaurs defeated the Goblins. Tomorrow, the Centaurs could still be defeated by other races.”
Hearing this, the Elven Queen’s expression turned ugly.
However, Kordontimus continued to explain.
“So, the two factions split. Their respective leaders led their clansmen and went their separate ways, becoming two completely different groups of Centaurs.
“And the soul stone that protected their growing strength was also split into two on that day.”
Kordontimus slowly turned around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s as he looked at the Elven Queen.
“And you, after the Centaurs defeated the Goblins, attacked their main faction and took away their soul stone.
“You even found the main faction…”
“Enough, stop talking.”
The Elven Queen’s face turned even paler.
She did not know how this secret was discovered. The old man in front of her was a mere human.
Moreover, this incident happened more than 200 years ago!
How could a human know about this?!
Kordontimus was silent for a moment and asked,
“Ulysses Sabrina, this is a choice that you must face.
“Will you continue hiding the soul stone for the sake of your Elven Queen position.
“Or will you return the soul stone to the Centaurs in order to survive?”
Hearing this, the Elven Queen Sabrina pursed her lips and did not speak. Her heart seemed to be struggling.
Mike, on the other hand, roughly made some guesses after hearing this.
It seemed that this Elven Queen’s status had been obtained through some improper means.
Mike was very clear.
To give up something obtained through improper means required a lot of determination.
Or the other way around.
If it was not something that could be given up easily, there was no need to obtain it through bad means.
The Elven Queen was silent for a long time before she spoke, seemingly unwilling to give up.
“Even if I wanted to return it, the Centaurs had already…”
“No, they still exist.” Kordontimus seemed to have already guessed that the Elven Queen would say this, so he did not wait for her to finish speaking before answering in advance.
Hearing this, the Elven Queen’s entire body trembled, and her eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
“This is impossible! Back then, I clearly…”
“You clearly killed all the Centaurs, right?” Kordontimus continued to speak calmly.
The Elven Queen’s eyes widened again.
She felt fear.
Could this old human in front of her be omniscient and omnipotent?
Why did he even know these things clearly?
Kordontimus seemed to have seen through the Elven Queen’s heart. He looked into the Elven Queen’s eyes and said word by word,
“Sabrina, you don’t have to worry about how I know. What you need to consider now is your choice.
“I can understand your feelings. Whether it’s power or status, it’s very hard for you to give up. This is very normal.
“But, in the end, do you want the soul stone or your life?”
As he spoke, the aura on his body gradually spread out.
Kordontimus’s tone was calm, but it gave off an unquestionable feeling.
The Elven Queen was completely overwhelmed by his aura, so she could only compromise.
“I choose to hand over the soul stone. I want to live.” she finally made this decision helplessly.
She was indeed reluctant to part with it.
However, just as Kordontimus had said, everything she obtained was snatched by despicable means.
She had even massacred a race for it.
She had always treated this as retribution, and she had planned to keep it buried in her heart forever.
Though now, her biggest secret had been revealed by the man in front of her.
The last line of defense in her heart had completely collapsed.
After taking a deep breath, Sabrina closed her eyes, and a pale blue gemstone slowly seeped out of the skin on her chest.
It was not as reserved as Mike’s shuttle bracelet. This blue gemstone emitted a powerful energy fluctuation. One could tell how precious it was at a glance.
In the next moment, Sabrina reached out and grabbed the soul stone.
She opened her eyes and looked at the soul stone in her hand.
There was hesitation and reluctance in her eyes, but in the end, she closed her eyes again.
“Take this soul stone.”
Sabrina stretched out her hand and handed the soul stone to Kordontimus.
In order to save her life, she could only hand over this soul stone.
However, Kordontimus’s words caught her by surprise.
“What you did should be resolved by yourself.
“I don’t want this soul stone. You should return it to the Centaurs.”
Sabrina was obviously surprised. She thought that the man in front of her said those words just to rationalize her.
She thought this old man wanted to take the soul stone.
Nevertheless, Kordontimus did not want it.
“But, I don’t know where the Centaurs are!”
“Keshar Basin.” Kordontimus provided the answer again.
“They are there. As long as you return the soul stone, your body will recover.”
Saying this, he suddenly turned to look at Mike.
“With her current condition, it’s still a little difficult for her to go to Keshar Basin. You can help her with this. Are you willing to send her to Keshar Basin?”
