Chapter Eighty-Nine: Alex's Wish
"What?!" When Elon said this, not only Vera and Kordak, but even Alex, who had been standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but show a stunned expression.
"Elon Bartow is just a human name I have given myself. Elon smiled and explained, "My elven name is Elon Crescent Shadow, so that child's real name is not Verais Deep Shadow, but Verais Crescent Shadow." He's ......"
"What is it?" said Kordak, Vera, and even Alex with three words written on his face - begging for gossip.
Elon's face suddenly turned red when he said this, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "He is the child of me and my wife, a half-elf woman. ”
"Oh~~~!" the three of them responded in unison, if it weren't for Elon having traveled to the human world, I'm afraid this weird yin and yang sound would be enough to defeat a dull and thin-skinned elf.
"And then, and then?" Vera couldn't help but ask, as a woman, gossip comes from the nature of their blood. And now she is facing the gossip that the president of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild may be the most secret existence in the entire Lance Continent! She naturally wants to know more about the inside story.
"Hey, Vera!" Cordak's face turned green when he saw Vera's performance, Nima, this woman is going crazy, this woman is really dead! That's Wellles! Isn't it some ordinary, kind and innocent elf! Is it really okay to know his troubles? Aren't you afraid that one day the elder will find out, and he will tell someone to kill you?
"For your safety, I think it's better not to tell you about this. Elon smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Elon, it's really ...... you to hang people's appetites like this and not say anything" Vera was very mad, and Kordak on her side was even more crazy, as for Alex, he now realized that he seemed to know something that he shouldn't know, so his face was so bad that Kordak also had a fight.
"Well, it's my fault, but...... I really can't tell you......" Elon still shook his head very firmly, isn't this nonsense? his son's troubles must be related to his father, Elon will not shake out his own troubles and let others laugh at them, right?
"So, Lord Elon. Kordaq took the opportunity to quickly lead the conversation: "What are you coming to us for?
"Yes, Miss Vera, I beg your pardon for being presumptuous. Elon walked up to Vera, and he slowly reached out and put his hand on Vera's forehead. A lilac glow appeared from his index finger and sank into Vera's brow.
Kordak didn't know magic, so he didn't know if Elon's actions would hurt Vera. However, Elon is his savior after all, and judging from the past events, Kordaq still feels that it is right to believe Elon. What's more, even if he doesn't believe it now, there is an Alex next to him on standby, even if he wants to resist, he can't beat this Alex.
As for Elon, it's even more uncertain!Kordak had been in a coma all the time, so he didn't know what Elon's spell was like, and there were many differences between the elven magic he cast and the human magic, so it was even more difficult for Kordak to estimate Elon's depth.
But even so, Kordaq instinctively felt that the elf in front of him was unfathomable. Why?Perhaps there was no reason, it was just an instinct that Kordak had cultivated through countless battles. If you have to say the reason, then his sons are all assassins in the Holy Realm, how can Elon, as Lao Tzu, be bad?
Therefore, Kordaq can only let Elon perform some kind of magic test on Vera, and the only thing he can do is pray that Elon really has no ill will towards the two of them.
After a few minutes or so, Elon fell into deep thought.
"The structure of the circle is basically understood, it is a variant of the indicator technique...... Elon thought to himself, "But transform a sixth-level spell and attach additional spells to this circle to achieve the purpose of modifying the effect of the spell...... People who can do this ......"
Elon didn't tell anyone else what he was thinking, he thought carefully in his heart for a while, and then said to Kordak, "Mr. Kordak. ”
"What do you command, Lord Elon?"
"Miss Vera has indeed fallen for a spell, and this spell has always been lurking in Miss Vera's body, and if it is not cleared in time, something terrible may happen. Elon spoke.
"Then ......" Kordak became anxious when he heard Elon say this, and he hurriedly said, "Please also ask Lord Elon to help Vera remove this spell, Kordak will repay your kindness even if he is full of blood!"
"Not necessarily. Elon smiled and shook his head: "However, you must grant me one request. ”
"What requirements?"
"All four of you, come back with me to the elven tribe of the Nightsong Forest. Elon said lightly.
"Four?" Cordak and Vera were stunned for a moment, and then they realized what Elon meant by the two of them taking the two of them with them.
"That's right, it takes a long time to undo the spell on Miss Vera, and I can't stay in the human world for too long. Therefore, I can only wronged you to go to the elf tribe with me. ”
"As for the tavern, you don't have to worry about it. Alex added at this time: "As long as you join the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, then this tavern will naturally be taken care of by our guild, and we will return the tavern to you as it is." ”
"......" Cordak and Vera looked at each other, and then Vera asked, "How long will it take?"
"Two years, or more. ”
"Kordak......" Vera gave the decision to Kordak.
"We ...... Can you go back and talk to the old man in Manhattan about it? After all, this is a matter of four people together. Kordak cautiously asked.
"Absolutely. Elon readily agreed.
"So...... Let's go back and talk to them. "Kordak has plans to retreat.
"Please, but trust me, I really want to help you. Elon added at the end.
Kordak and Vera saluted Elon and left.
"Your Excellency, why don't you tell them the truth?" Alex asked.
"I can't do it. Elon sighed, "I can't say that my child wants to harm you, so I want you to enter the elven tribe and accept my protection......, right?" It's still my child after all. ”
"......" Alex was silent.
"It's you, kid. Elon turned his head to look at Alex with gentle and curious eyes, "Why didn't you follow Will's will?
"The elders have treated me like a mountain. Alex said lightly, and the scene from twenty years ago came to his mind.
At that time, Alex had just been exiled to the Reims continent by the Stoke Empire, and at that time, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. When he first arrived, he was hunted down for breaking the rules of the land snakes, and they planned to cut off Alex's hands and feet and throw him in the garbage dump to die.
But at that moment, Vellais suddenly appeared. He subdued everyone in the Little Thieves' Guild at the time, then rescued Alex, and then Wellles and Alex subdued the Little Guild and led them to form a new Thieves' Guild called "Moon Shadow".
Since then, Alex has been immensely grateful to Welllais. He was thankful that it wasn't just Villeres who saved his life. He was even more grateful that Wellles had given him a nest.
At that time, Alex felt like a wild dog that was hated by everyone, and he angered a Stoke mage, so the Stoke people did not accept him, and the Hawk Empire had just been established, and he was extremely wary of the southerners. In order to find a place to stay, Alex had no choice but to flee across the ocean to the continent of Reims. But here he was also unlucky, and almost died at the hands of a few hooligans.
Just when Alex felt that the world could no longer accommodate him, Vellais appeared. He gave Alex a space, a space for him to breathe, to eat, to sleep, and to be ordinary in the eyes of others. The name of this space is the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
This is the point that Alex is most grateful for, because with this guild, Alex feels that he is not abandoned by the world, and Alex feels that he should live in this world. Therefore, he has always obeyed the will of Verles, and he will not hesitate to accomplish no matter how vile, vicious, dirty, and dirty.
First, it was to repay Verles's kindness, and secondly, it was because Alex knew that everything Verles did would be beneficial to the Lunaris Thieves Guild. And he, even if he dies, wants to protect this guild that gives him a home and gives him warmth.
As long as a person still has a heart, there must be something that he cannot give up even if he abandons everything else. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to be a person again. This is no exception to Alex, who is despicable, shameless, cunning and sinister in the eyes of Regner. Because, Alex is still a person, a person with a heart.
So, I have served the Elder for twenty years. Alex continued, "I have never disobeyed any of the Elder's orders in these twenty years, never. I think that's enough to repay him for his kindness to me. ”
"And now?" Elon asked.
"Now, I want to live as I want to live, I want to protect this guild according to my own ideas, as a guild member, not as a puppet of the elder. I think that's the only way to ......" Alex touched his chest, where his heart was still beating firmly and strongly, as if to give him encouragement, Alex said, "Only in this way can I protect my human heart." ”
"The human heart?" Elon muttered, "That kid has been in your human world for so long, and I don't know how much he has learned......"
"......" Alex was silent, at this time Vellais was not in the guild, and no one knew where he had gone. However, Alex instinctively felt that Vellais was still planning something, and eighty percent of it was still related to Regner.
"I hope the child is safe. Alex thought to himself.
