Chapter 253: Back To That Key Moment ⑨

---

TL: Resonance

    伊维着魔般地走到尚可身边, 温柔地将他揽入怀中。一股龙气盘旋而出，化作一对金色龙翼, 在身前交叉收拢。强壮的肌肉在光芒映照下，呈现出金属色泽, 看起来如同神祇一般。

Ivan went over to Shang Ke as if bewitched and gently brought him into his embrace. A draconic aura spiralled out, turning into a pair of golden dragon wings which crossed and enclosed in front of his body. The strong muscles let out a metallic color under the light, looking like a god.

    尚可忍不住在他手臂上掐了掐，果然皮糙肉厚, 硬度惊人。自己拒绝了系统提供的羽毛效果，这个男人倒是风骚地把翅膀显摆出来了。

Shang Ke could not help but pinch his arm. Sure enough, the skin was rough and the muscles were thick, the hardness was astonishing. He had rejected the feather effect provided by the system, yet this man displayed his wings so coquettishly.

    伊维的大手落在尚可纤细的腰肢上, 炽热的温度直透肌肤，灼灼的目光扫过他的眉眼，霸道而强势的气息将他牢牢锁定。

Ivan’s large hand fell on Shang Ke’s slender waist. The hot temperature penetrated through the skin and Ivan’s burning gaze swept past his eyebrows. His dominant and strong breath locked him firmly.

    龙族旺盛的精力和强烈的欲念，似乎和这个男人的力量一起觉醒了。仅仅只是靠近，便无法抑制内心的渴望, 隔着衣物也能感受他的硬度。伊维没有迟疑太久，托起尚可身体，将他压在树干上, 解开自己的束缚, 强力推挤而入，以极其熟练的技巧开始激烈运动。

The dragon’s vigorous energy and strong desire seems to have awakened along with this man’s power. Just by being close, it is impossible to restrain the desire in his heart. Shang Ke could feel his hardness even through the clothing. Ivan didn’t hesitate for long. He lifted Shang Ke’s body, pressed him against the trunk, undid anything blocking the way and pushed in strongly. Then, he began to exercise intensely with proficient skill.

    “别在这里……”尚可低喘道，“小精灵……”

“Not here…” Shang Ke panted, “The little elves…”

    伊维瞳孔微缩，龙气外放，瞬间建立起一个单独的领域，将正准备跑来和尚可汇合的小精灵们全部挡在外面。

Ivan’s pupils shrink slightly. He released his draconic aura, instantly setting up a separate area and blocking all the little elves who were running over to meet Shang Ke outside.

    尚可瞪着他，眉眼间春意盎然，毫无威慑力，只是让某人更加亢奋，“你现在是属于我一个人的，谁也不能打扰。”他要占有他，贯穿他，让他的身体再次充满他的味道，直到精疲力竭，昼夜颠倒……

Shang Ke glared at him, but his eyes were filled with lust and was not intimidating at all. It only made someone even more excited, “You belong to me alone now, no one can disturb.” He wanted to possess him, penetrate him, and fill his body with his taste again until they were fully exhausted and the night became day…

    偷袭行动失败的消息，在器鬼族内部引起了很大的震动。虽然只是一次试探性的行动，但他们派遣的都是精锐，即便失败，也不至于全军覆没，然而结果却是所有参与行动的人都被掳获，无一幸免。

The news of the failed sneak attack operation caused a great shock within the specters’ ranks. Although it was only a test operation, they have sent all the elites. Even if it failed, it shouldn’t be to the point of a complete loss. However, the result was that all those involved in the operation were taken captive and no one was spared.

    这无疑给器鬼族敲响了警钟，让他们第一次清晰地感受到了来自精灵圣地的威胁。

This undoubtedly alarmed the specters, making them clearly feel the threat from the Elven Holy Land for the first time.

    因为这场变故，器鬼族彻底放弃了分兵计划，转而集中兵力，趁精灵的力量还没有完全成形前，将其覆灭。

Because of this change, the specters completely abandoned their plan to divide their troops and instead concentrated their forces to destroy the elves before their power was fully built up.

    前世那场逼得小精灵献祭的战争，比伊维预料中的提前了一年多。

The war that forced the little elves to sacrifice their lives in his previous life came more than a year earlier than Ivan had expected.

    大战在即，伊维将所有时间都用在炼制氧灵珠和武器附魔。尚可则每天带着小精灵在魔法阵覆盖区域东奔西跑，熟悉地形，模拟作战，设置陷阱等等。

As war is imminent, Ivan spends all the time refining oxygen spirit beads and enchanting weapons. Shang Ke took the elves to run about every day in the area covered by the magic circle to let them familiarize themselves with the terrain, simulate combat scenarios, set traps and so on.

    不过两个月时间，核心魔法阵的地形已经被小精灵摸了个通透，连哪棵树上有几个鸟窝都知道。

In two months time, the terrain covered by the core magic circle has been thoroughly understood by the little elves, they even know how many bird nests were on each tree.

    于是，尚可又带着他们转战外围魔法阵，这里是属于混血精灵的活动区域。尚可和小精灵的出现，很快引起了他们的注意。

Hence, Shang Ke took them to the area covered by the second magic circle. This was the activity area belonging to the mixed-blood elves. The appearance of Shang Ke and the little elves soon attracted their attention.

    在外人面前，尚可始终保持半实体化，如幻影一般在林中穿梭。小精灵追随着他的脚步，在奔跑中融入自然，在嬉戏中玩弄魔法，在配合中熟悉彼此。

In front of outsiders, Shang Ke always remained semi-materialized and moved through the forest like a phantom. The little elves followed his footsteps, blending in with nature as they ran. They played with magic as they frolicked, familiarizing with each other as they cooperated.

    作为他们曾经的老师，马蒂对他们的训练十分关注。最初几天，他觉得小精灵们只是在玩耍，训练毫无规律可言。今天催生一朵花，明天画上一道符，后天或许又变成与动物赛跑了。

As their former teacher, Mattie paid close attention to their training. In the first few days, she felt that the little elves were just playing around, and there was no discipline in their training. Today a flower was spawned, the next day a charm was drawn, and the day after that perhaps it became a race with animals.

    马蒂对这种放任自流式的训练有些不以为然，只是出于对母树的尊敬，他不敢提出质疑。

Mattie wasn’t quite approving of this kind of training without supervision, but out of respect for the mother tree, she didn’t dare to question it.

    但渐渐地，他发现了一些奇妙的变化。

But gradually, she noticed some wonderful changes.

    四周的树木变得比以前更加茂盛，灵气更加充足，原本残毁枯黄的花木，重新焕发新的生机。空气仿佛被洗涤过一般，清新干净，沁人心脾。树叶在风中低语，山石在雾中轻叹，花儿摇曳，河水欢腾，整个世界焕然一新。

The surrounding trees became lusher than before, the aura was more abundant, and the flowers and trees that were originally ruined and withered regained new vitality. The air seemed to have been washed, becoming fresh, clean and refreshing. The leaves whispered in the wind, the rocks sighed in the fog, the flowers swayed, the rivers rejoiced, and the whole world became completely new.

    无数声音在耳边萦绕，这是来自生命的呼唤，自然的呢喃。混血精灵体内的精灵血统，仿佛在此刻复苏，灵魂在雀跃，血液在沸腾，蒙蔽双目的污浊，被一一洗去，只留下一片澄澈。

Countless voices lingered in their ears. These were the calls from life and the whispers of nature. The elven blood in the mixed-blood elves seemed as if it was revived at this moment. Their souls were jumping in joy and their bloods were boiling. The dirt that had blinded their eyes was washed away one by one, leaving only clarity behind.

    这就是精灵的能力，一草一木都是他们的伙伴，一花一叶都是他们的耳目。

This is the ability of the elves. The grass and trees are their partners and the flowers and leaves are their eyes and ears.

    马蒂心中坚信不移的理念逐渐开始动摇，她看见资质平庸的灰瞳，仅凭一只独眼，将弓弩运用自如，百发百中；失聪的无音，可以聆听大地的声音；身中火毒的莱蕾，可以娴熟地操控火焰魔法；身体半树化的阿拉姆，可以让枯木复苏，记忆短暂的卡妮欧么可以与动物交流……曾经被她视为无用的残疾精灵，在母树的引导下，发挥出了各自的天赋和特长。

The philosophy Mattie firmly believed in in her heart was gradually starting to waver. She saw Gray who had mediocre qualifications using the crossbow freely with full accuracy despite being able to see with only one eye. The deaf Wuyin could listen to the sound of the land. Lorinda who was poisoned by fire can skillfully manipulate fire magic. Aram whose body was partially a tree can revive dead trees. Kanyo who has short memories can communicate with animals… The disable elves who were deemed as useless by her displayed their talents and specialities under the guidance of their mother tree.

    并非小精灵无用，而是他们，根本没有资格成为他们的老师。纵然身体孱弱，他们依然拥有世间最纯净的心灵和最纯粹的力量。

It is not that the little elves are useless. It was them who were not qualified to be their teachers. Even though their bodies were weak, they still have the purest hearts power in the world.

    纯血精灵与混血精灵的差距，不在血统，而在灵魂。他们已经忘记了，如何去做一个真正的精灵。

The difference between pure-blood elves and mixed-blood elves is not in the bloodline, but in the soul. They have already forgotten how to be a true elf.

    马蒂跪伏在地，双手交叉在胸，虔诚地对母树的方向躬身行礼。

Mattie knelt down and crossed her arms over her chest. She bowed piously in the direction of the mother tree.

    母树，渺小无知的我，在茫茫尘世中迷失自我，背离了精灵的信仰，我请求您的原谅，希望能够重新回到您的怀抱，成为您的子民。

Mother Tree, I have been small and ignorant. I have lost myself in the vastness of the world and deviated from the faith of the elves. I plea for forgiveness and hope to return to your embrace and become one of your people again.

    与她一样受到感染的混血精灵还有不少，觉醒的种子，已经悄无声息地在混血精灵的灵魂中生根发芽……

There are many more mixed-blood elves who have been infected just like her. The seeds that have awakened have silently taken root in the souls of the mixed-blood elves…

    七个月后，器鬼族的大军如期而至。

Seven months later, the army of the specters arrived as scheduled.

    伊维带领的一群锻造师，为联盟军制造了大量氧灵武器，配合地形和阵法，首次交锋就让器鬼族狼狈败退。

A group of blacksmiths led by Ivan made a large number of oxygen spirit weapons for the alliance army. And with the help of the terrain and magic circle, their first encounter made the specters retreat in defeat.

    虽然这场战争比前世准备充足，但实力差距依然存在，尚可和他的小精灵们也只能在后方协助作战。不过，得到尚可指导的混血精灵，从各族势力中分离出来，组成独立的队伍，却是发挥了前所未有的战斗力。

Although they were better prepared for this war than the previous life, the gap in their strength still exists. Shang Ke and his little elves could only assist in the battle from the rear. However, the mixed-blood elves who were guided by Shang Ke separated from the alliance and formed an independent team and were able to fight with unprecedented strength.

    精灵是器鬼族的克星，他们与生俱来的自然气息就是最好的武器。虽然混血精灵身上的自然气息已经稀薄，但在特殊器物加成和优势环境下，也足以让器鬼族投鼠忌器。

Elves are the nemesis of the specters, and their innate natural aura is the best weapon. The natural aura of the mixed-blood elves has already become thin, but with the aid of special weapons and the advantageous environment, it was enough to give the specters trouble.

    魔法阵全面启动，不让器鬼族越雷池一步。伊维游走在阵法边缘，专挑器鬼族的下黑手。至于器鬼族麾下的傀儡军队，则交给联盟军负责。

The magic circle was fully activated, not allowing the specters to pass through. Ivan wandered around the edge of the circle choosing specters to backstab. As for the puppet army under the specters’ control, it was left to the alliance army to handle.

    小精灵们在阵法的护持下，远程协助作战。翡瑟森林中的所有动物和植物，都是他们的伙伴。灰瞳站在制高点，一箭一放倒一个；莱蕾坐在树杈上，欢快地抛射火球，无音在溪边弹奏竖琴，用音乐提高士气；米迦列可随时预知敌人的动向；萨拉力大无穷，开山凿石，改变地形；沙狄可掌控天地间所有气味，给予敌人最酸爽的嗅觉“享受”；卡妮欧带着动物们横冲直撞，专业制造混乱；希尔操作着悬浮轮椅，空中策应；阿拉姆催生植物，辅助攻击；弥夜隐藏在阴影中，如鬼魅般来去无形；艾利卡坚硬的头发扎根地底，快速构建阵法；作为老大的泡泡，没有特殊技能，但他拥有最强大的自然之气，并且能够将其他人的自然之气调动起来。

The little elves assisted in the battle from the rear under the protection of the magic circle. All the animals and plants in the Fayser Forest were their partners. Gray stood on a high point, each arrow shooting down one enemy; Lorinda sat on a tree branch and happily threw fireballs; Wuyin played the harp by the stream and used music to raise morale; Michael could predict the enemy’s movement at any time; Sara was so powerful that she could cut rocks and change the terrain; Shadi could control all the scents in the world and give the enemy the most sour smell to “enjoy”; Kanyo went on a rampage with animals, professionally creating chaos; Shear operated a levitating wheelchair and supported in the air; Aram grew plants which assisted in attacking; Miya hid in the shadows and went and go invisibly like a ghost; Erika’s hard hair rooted in the ground and quickly build magic circle; Bubbles who was the oldest had no special skills, but he has the most powerful natural aura and the ability to mobilize the natural aura of others.

    五花八门的攻击方式，让器鬼族和他的傀儡兵们吃尽了苦头。他们从来没有打过如此憋屈的仗，好像整片森林都在和他们做对，越靠近魔法阵，情况越诡异。前一刻还气势汹汹，后一刻就被树枝绊了个狗吃屎。面前明明空无一物，冲过去却撞得头破血流。杀气腾腾地朝敌人挥砍，结果发现手上的武器不见了。诸如此类，说多了都是泪。

The variety of attacks made the specters and his puppet soldiers suffer a lot. They had never fought such a stifling battle before, as if the whole forest was working against them. The closer they got to the magic circle, the weirder the situation became. One moment they were raging, the next moment they were tripping over tree branches. There was clearly nothing in front of them, but they crashed and hurt their heads so much to the point of bleeding when they rushed forward. They slashed about murderously towards their enemy, only to find that their weapons were missing from their hand. These were just a few examples and saying more would make them cry.

    伊维蹲在一棵大树上，沉默地望着下面被整得昏头转向的敌军。前世这场战争，是靠小精灵的牺牲才勉强将器鬼族赶出森林的。对比如今，才知道当时的选择何其悲哀和不值。小精灵拥有强大的力量和天赋，却没有得到任何发挥，最后只能以生命为代价悲壮地死去。

Ivan squatted on a big tree, silently looking down at the enemy army that had been made dizzy. In his previous life, this war relied on the sacrifice of the little elves to barely drive the specters out of the forest. In contrast to today, he now knows how sad and worthless their previous choice was. The little elves had great power and talent, but did not get to use any of it. In the end, they had to die a sad death at the cost of their lives.

    “小精灵们表现得怎么样？”尚可轻快的声音忽然从身后传来，打断了伊维的思绪。

“How did the little elves do?” Shang Ke’s light-hearted voice suddenly sounded from behind him, interrupting Ivan’s thoughts.

    一阵清风拂过，尚可的身影出现在伊维身边。

 A gust of breeze brushed by, and Shang Ke’s figure appeared beside Ivan.

    “可可。”

“Keke.”

    “嗯？”

“Hmm?”

    “你真好。”能够回来，再次见到你，拥有如今的一切，真的，很好。

“You’re so great.” It’s really, really great to see you back again and have everything they have today.

    怎么突然煽情起来了？尚可奇怪地看了他一眼。

Why are you suddenly getting emotional? Shang Ke gave him a strange look.

    伊维一把抱住他，狠狠在他嘴上亲了一下：“亲爱的，我去杀人了，等我带着满满的人头回来送你。”说完，纵身一跃，瞬间消失在视线中。

Ivan hugged him and gave him a fierce kiss on the mouth: “Darling, I’m going to go kill. Wait for me to come back with lots of people’s heads to give you.” After saying that, he leaped and instantly disappeared from Shang Ke sight.

    尚可无语，别人给情侣都是送花送戒指送豪车，你送人头？

Shang Ke was speechless. Other people give their lovers flowers, rings and luxury cars, but you are going to give me heads?

    果然无论经过多少世，这家伙的情趣值和浪漫值都没有提升过，始终维持在及格线以下。

Sure enough, no matter how many lifetimes have passed, this guy’s appeal and romantic value have not been raised, always staying below the passing line.

    这场战争一直到黄昏才结束，器鬼族第一次遭受了真正意义上的惨败，损失三分之二的主力兵，器鬼族全程被压着打，特别是冲入腹地的器鬼族，基本都被封印俘虏，伊维一个人就放倒了至少三十个器鬼。

The war lasted until dusk before it ended. The specters suffered their true first miserable defeat, losing two-third of their main force. The specters were oppressed throughout, especially the specters who headed towards the center of the land. They were basically all sealed and captured. Ivan alone downed at least thirty specters.

    联盟军倒是伤亡不小，他们承受了最猛烈的第一波攻击，在混血精灵辅助下，战果斐然。

The casualties for the alliance army side are not small though. They endured the most violent first wave of attacks. The results of the battle were remarkable under the assistance of the mixed-blood elves.

    魔法阵丝毫无损，淡淡的光幕，在夕阳的余晖下，如同守护神一般伫立在天地间。

The magic circle was unscathed, and the faint layer of light, in the afterglow of the setting sun, was like a guardian god standing between the sky and the land.

    胜利了？

Victory?

    联盟胜利了？

The Alliance has won?

    直到敌人丢盔弃甲，仓皇逃遁，众人依然不敢相信眼前的事实。一直以来，他们与器鬼族的战斗，总是伴随着惨烈的牺牲和失败。他们甚至已经忘记胜利的滋味，它如此美妙，如此不真实，如此让人想要……落泪。

The enemy has abandoned their armor and fled in haste, but the crowd still couldn’t believe the facts before their eyes. All along, their battles with the specters had always been accompanied by tragic sacrifices and defeats. They had even forgotten the taste of victory. It was so wonderful, so unreal, so much so that people wanted to… cry.

    “胜利了！”

“Victory!”

    “我们胜利了！”

“We won!”

    漫山遍野的欢呼如海啸般席卷天地，整座翡瑟森林都沸腾了。

The cheers from all over the mountain swept through the world like a tsunami, and the whole Fayser Forest was boiling.

    尚可听着阵外的欢呼，微微一笑，将累得睡倒的小精灵们，一一送进树屋。

Shang Ke listened to the cheers outside the magic circle and smiled. He sent the elves, who were so tired that they fell asleep, into the tree house one by one.

    然后转头看向身边的男人，轻声问：“接下来想干什么？”

Then, he turned his head to look at the man beside him and asked softly, “What do you want to do next?”

    “当然是……”伊维一般抱起他，“干你！”

“Of course it’s to…” Ivan generally hugged him, “do you!”

    这场战争，彻底打破了双方的平衡，器鬼族失去了最后一次覆灭精灵的机会。从此之后，精灵族开始迅速发展壮大，分散在大陆各地的混血精灵陆续归附，重新成为母树的子民，圣地的守护者。以十二个精灵为首，一起建立属于他们的家园。

This war completely broke the balance between the two sides. The specters lost their last chance to destroy the elves. From then on, the elves began to develop and grow rapidly. The mixed-blood elves scattered all over the continent have returned one after another and became the children of the mother tree again, becoming the guardians of the Holy Land. Led by twelve elves, together they built their own home.

    十年后，母树上结出了一颗精灵卵果，这是母树复活以来所凝结的第一个新生命，精灵族数量稀少，血脉稀薄，真正的血脉传承只剩下十二个小精灵。而这棵卵果的出现，无疑是整个精灵族的希望。

Ten years later, the mother tree bore an elf seed, which was the first new life condensed since the resurrection of the mother tree. The elves were scarce in number, their bloodline was thin, and only twelve small elves remained with the true bloodline. The appearance of this seed is undoubtedly the hope of the entire elven race.

    只是这棵卵果有些特殊，外壳上闪烁着淡金色的光芒，既蕴含着自然之气的纯粹，又带着一种让人敬畏的威压。

It’s just that this seed is somewhat special. It has a light golden glow on its shell, containing both the purity of natural energy and also an awe-inspiring pressure.

    谁也不知道，这棵卵果孕育的生命，拥有纯正的精灵血脉和雄浑的龙族气息。

No one knows that the life birthed by this fruit has pure elven blood and the majestic dragon breath.

    他，就是精灵族未来的精灵王。

He is the future Elf King of the Elf race.

    精灵史上，最强大也是最特殊的一位精灵王。

In the history of elves, he is the most powerful and most special elf king.
