In the dimly lit hall, the sound of burning candles continued to sound all around.

From time to time, people are walking around, seemingly looking for their place.

After a while, by the time Andra arrived, there were already several people sitting around him.

It was a couple of gorgeously dressed elves, all of whom looked very young, and when they heard Andra's voice as she walked in, they couldn't help but look at him.

"It looks like everyone has already received the news. ”

Looking at the few elves sitting around, Andra nodded, and then spoke: "Is anyone present clear about the specific situation?"

As his words fell, there was silence for a moment, and it was not until a moment later that no one spoke.

"The news came from the border of the Kroll family, and it was a core member of our family who brought the news over. ”

A middle-aged elf in a black robe spoke, and at this time he was also a little puzzled: "The other party is holding the family emblem of our family, but he calls himself Adil Fakus, and he is not from our family. ”

According to the other party, his family emblem is derived from his mother. ”

At this time, another elf interjected: "In other words, the mother of this official wizard should be a member of our family, but I don't know which one it is." ”

"Fakus..."

At the forefront, listening to the words of the two commanders below, Andra also frowned and said, "I have never heard of this surname, I am afraid that it is not a local family, but a certain wizard family from the outside world. ”

He raised his head and looked at the elves below, "Do any of you know about this surname?"

Listening to his words, several people below looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but shake their heads, a little dazed by this.

It's no wonder that if it's really a wizard family native to the Meissen region, then with the history of their family, if you look carefully, you may really be able to find some relevant records.

However, the Fakus family is not in the Meissen region, and it is only a small family that has long since declined, and it is located on a barren continent, and has no reputation in the wizarding world at all.

In this case, it would be hellish if they could find out about the Fakus family.

"Fakus..."

It's just that at this time, listening to this surname, one of them is constantly muttering to himself, listening to this surname, it seems to be somewhat familiar.

This is a very beautiful female elf, with long black hair falling down, and fair skin, as if carved out of jade.

At the moment, she was sitting somewhere in the living room, listening to the surname "Fakus", and seemed to think of something, but she was a little unsure.

"Lilith, what's wrong?"

As if sensing her abnormality, Andra asked aloud, "Any clues?"

In an instant, the eyes around him were instantly focused, all on Lilith's body, and there was some anticipation in his eyes.

"I just remembered something. ”

Watching from the people around her, Lilith hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Does Lord Andra remember the group of people who migrated ten years ago?"

"Of course I do. ”

Andra nodded, and then her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.

"Among those people, there was a young girl named Latina, who impressed me because of her talent as a wizard. ”

Under Andra's gaze, Lilith spoke slowly.

I seem to have some impressions when I say that. ”

Someone on the side interjected: "This junior is a rare half-elf, his talent is very good, it is said that he has been successfully promoted to the apprentice priest two years ago, if it were not for the human blood in his body, he would have even been qualified to become one of our inheritance candidates." ”

Speaking of this, the man paused, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is it?"

"Not bad. ”

Lilith nodded, "This girl's human surname happens to be Phakus. ”

"I've been in contact with her, I've heard from her mother that she seems to have a younger brother..."

Sitting still, she paused, and then spoke: "If this new official wizard really has the surname of Fakus, then it is most likely Latina's younger brother. ”

"According to that, isn't this official wizard in his early twenties?"

Sitting in another corner, a middle-aged elf frowned and said in disbelief: "At such a young age, you will be promoted to a full-fledged wizard?"

Unlike the generally precocious humans, the elves have a longer lifespan, and relatively speaking, the growth period is also longer, especially for these elven nobles who have inherited the blood of the thin moon elves in their bodies.

For elven nobles who generally live up to two hundred years, they must be forty years old to be considered an adult, and the wizard qualification can be regarded as the peak of growth.

Correspondingly, in the growth period, because the soul qualification is still growing, the elves will be very slow to improve their spiritual power through meditation, except for some geniuses, the general speed is not as fast as that of human apprentices of the same age.

This will continue until the elves reach adulthood. But because of the long growth period, among the elves, even if they are apprentices with good talents, if everything goes well, they will not be promoted to official wizards until they reach adulthood.

At the age of his early twenties, Adil was promoted to an official wizard, which is already an absolute genius in the human area, and it is even more shocking and unimaginable when placed in the elf race.

"It's not impossible. ”

In front, Lilith also frowned a little, and then soothed: "If this official wizard named Adil is really Latina's younger brother, then he must also be a half-elf. ”

"Although the lifespan of a half-elf is also quite long, it is not as good as us pure-blood nobles, and the natural growth period is relatively shorter. ”

"Still, even if you're a half-elf, it's amazingly fast. ”

A person on the side spoke, and said with some sighs at this time: "Even if you put it in those short-lived human beings, they are absolute geniuses, and their qualifications may be above the fourth rank." ”

"Let's stop this question for now. ”

Sitting quietly above, listening to the discussion of the few people below, Andra couldn't help but speak: "To be promoted to an official wizard, the talent is naturally excellent. But the most important thing now is to prepare now. ”

"According to the information that has been transmitted, this wizard is now walking towards our family, calculate the time, it may be there in three or four days, and we must be ready to receive it as soon as possible. ”

At this point, he turned to look at Lilith, "Lilith, you go and inform Latina and her people to confirm the matter of this official wizard." ”

"Once confirmed, you should know what to do, right?"

"I understand. Lilith nodded, her expression understanding.

"Also, send someone to the city to spread the word that an official wizard from far away in the early years of our family is about to return, and now he is here to prepare for it. ”

Andra's face was serious, and he reminded emphatically, "Remember, the greeting ceremony must be big, and all the surrounding families must know the news!"

"But... The other party is not a wizard of our family, will it be preached like this..."

Listening to Andra's words, several people below looked at each other, and one of them seemed a little hesitant.

"Since the other party admits that he has our family's blood in his body, he is our wizard!"

Listening to the words below, Andra glared at the man fiercely: "Moreover, even if the situation is worse, can it be as bad as it is now?"

"Yes. Hearing this, the man below did not continue to speak, but nodded heavily.

In another courtyard, the sound of rushing water was constantly ringing.

It was a very old courtyard, and although it looked quite large, it was some years old, and many parts of it looked very dilapidated, as if it had not been maintained for a long time.

In the land in the yard, there are still a lot of wild grasses growing in it, making the surroundings look a little desolate.

It was noon, and in the courtyard, several elves were working inside.

They were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and at this time they were wet with sweat from their labor, and they could not see the elegance and mystery of the elves at all.

There were men and women in this group of elves, none of whom looked too young, and at this time there was a very mature female elf with a coarse cloth in her hand, and walked straight to the wooden chair to the side, and sat down directly.

It was a beautiful female elf, who looked like a human being in her thirties, but her skin was a little dark because of the wind and sun.

"Curtis..."

At this time, the other elves also slowly walked over, and at this time they walked to the vicinity one after another. One of them, a slightly younger female elf, spoke, looked at the middle-aged female elf in front of her, and said with some curiosity: "Recently, Lord Lilith has been coming to you often, is there something wrong?"

"I don't know. ”

Listening to the other party's culture, the female elf named Curtis shook her head slightly: "Lord Lilith asked me about my previous experience, and then gave me some magic stones so that I don't have to continue to work. ”

"Speaking of which, so are you, Curtis. ”

At this time, a handsome young elf stepped aside and looked at Curtis: "Isn't your child already promoted to a trainee priest, why do you still have to take care of these materials here, and live directly with your daughter." ”

"It's not easy for Latina either. ”

Curtis shook his head: "It's getting more and more dangerous outside, I heard that several trade routes of the family have been cut off recently, and the income in the family is getting lower and lower. The so-called apprentice sacrifice, which originally only had a few magic stones per month, is now becoming less and less. ”

"I'd better obediently cultivate materials here, save a few more magic stones, and let her take a few more classes by herself. ”

She shook her head and chuckled.

Listening to her words, the rest of the elves around couldn't help but fall silent.

In fact, most of the reasons why the elves present stayed were like this.

Cultivating materials is not easy, not only does it require a lot of knowledge, but it also requires a lot of experience, and sometimes a careless person may destroy a plant.

The people who will come here to cultivate materials are basically not ordinary people.

However, even so, for some reason, they still chose to stay here, braving the scorching sun and sweating, just for a generous reward of one magic stone for half a year.

There was silence for a moment, until a voice continued to sound.

"Speaking of which, what did you talk about when Lord Lilith came to you before?"

An elf laughed, "I don't really just talk about life and experience." ”

"Of course not. ”

Curtis also smiled: "Lord Lilith also asked me about another child..."

"Do you have another child?" everyone present was a little surprised, and a desire to gossip suddenly rose in their hearts.

"It's Latina's brother. ”

I don't know what came to mind, Curtis suddenly became a little silent, and then spoke: "My other child, if it were according to the name that the human gave him back then, would be called Adiel. ”

"He's got a lot of talent... Despite being born, I could tell that this child was much more talented than Latina. ”

Sitting there, Curtis muttered, "It's a pity... The man watched him too closely, and I had no choice but to leave with Latina not long after he was born..."

"Don't be upset..."

On the side, a female elf saw her appearance, patted her shoulder very understandingly, and then said with relief: "It's a lucky thing that you can bring your daughter to us alive." ”

"And maybe in the future, when your son grows up, he will come to you. ”

"Hopefully. Hearing this, Curtis smiled as well, then lowered his head and did not speak again.

At this moment, outside the courtyard, a rush of footsteps suddenly came.
