Chapter 7: The Properties of Ash
"You want to help that anthropologist learn magic?" Hearing Nossisi's request, the elf elder smiled and narrowed his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"She's not that human, her name is Ash."
"Hehe, I know, but—" The elder teased, "when did you become so concerned about her and want to help her?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Nossisi's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.
The little flowers bent their huge leaves, like snickering children, covering half of their faces and giggling.
Nossisi's face turned even redder, but he wouldn't admit that he was really disheartened, but bluffed and denied, "I didn't care about her, didn't I spy on her!" ”
"What if she can't learn magic and spills her anger on us?"
"As a member of the elves, I can't ignore it, right?"
Look at what he said so righteously, but in fact, even the little flowers knew that he was talking about excuses, didn't they see that the little flowers were already laughing so much that they couldn't support their waists?
The elder is very distressed, the little flowers are extremely delicate, don't you really laugh and bend over if you continue to laugh like this? At that time, he wanted to cry without tears, so he hurriedly stabbed the trunk of the world tree.
Grandpa World Tree coughed and said, "Didn't you test Ash's attributes first?" ”
"Attributes?"
"Yes, humans are not born with their own attributes like you elves, the elements in their bodies are too mottled, and they need to be tested with special props to know what attributes they are and what magic they can exercise."
"However, most humans have no magical talent, they can't learn magic, and even if they have magical talent, they can't learn much, so don't get your hopes up."
The World Tree spoke earnestly of the admonition, but Nossi turned a deaf ear and instead asked about the special prop used in the test.
"Ouch, don't rush, don't rush, I'm an old piece of wood, I'm too old, and sometimes my memory is not very good."
When Noxisi heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and said that he would not urge.
"Hey, let me look for it."
The thick trunk of the tree below the World Tree that was in contact with the ground suddenly cracked, like a tree hole that suddenly appeared. He stretched out his branch and dug it out of the hollow of the tree, drew a round crystal ball under Nossisi's gaze, and said, "No, here you go." ”
The huge crystal ball was bigger than seven or eight Nossi combined, and Nossi hurriedly whistled and beckoned everyone to help.
Pink Jingjing flapped her little wings and praised Noxisi with a smile.
"Of course, I don't look at who I am, I'm your best friend."
"Hee-hee, well, I knew Noxisi was the best."
"But, I can tell you, I'm only helping you this time, not the human, and I haven't recognized her yet!"
Noxisi's awkward appearance made Pink Jingjing smile in her heart, and she said busily, "I know, I know." The two elves' little hands were clasped together, which was officially reconciled.
"How do I use this?" Sweet honey stood on the edge of the crystal ball, looking curiously at her distorted self.
"The elder said that as long as you put your hand on it, concentrate your mind, and imagine making the crystal ball hot, you'll be fine."
"Really? Ash, Ash, try it. ”
Ash nodded, placed his palm on the crystal ball, and closed his eyes.
The crystal ball quickly changed, a bright red appeared from the transparent crystal ball, but unfortunately it only stayed for a while, and then the earthy yellow also appeared for a moment, followed by cyan and blue intertwined colors, like a two-color ring rainbow, so that the elves couldn't take their eyes off it.
A touch of green appears, and mischievous drills swim between cyan and blue.
Immediately, a wisp of black appeared, as if the black pigment was lowered in the water, quickly engulfing the entire water, and dyeing the entire crystal ball into inky black.
All the elves opened their mouths one after another, and they were very surprised, is ash actually a dark attribute?
But her skin isn't dark... The elves have been in contact with too few humans, and they only know that the dark elves have dark skin, so it is taken for granted that humans who learn the dark attribute must have dark skin.
The elves shook their heads in confusion, but Pink Jingjing saw the golden light that flashed in the ink.
"Look!"
The entire pitch-black crystal ball emitted a cloud of golden light from the inside, and the gold became brighter and brighter, shattering the pitch-black color, like the first rays of sunlight at dawn, and it didn't take long to spread all over the crystal ball, and then quickly disappeared.
In the end, what appeared in front of the elves was a crystal ball with silver light flowing, and a mass of silver liquid-like objects flowed in the crystal ball, turning into gas from time to time, covering the entire inside of the crystal ball.
The elves looked at each other and asked, "What do you think of this?" ”
"Oh, it's so rare, it's a chaos attribute!"
"Elder!"
"Why are you here?"
"Hehe, hello everyone."
"Didn't I pass by?"
The elf elder stopped above the crystal ball with his wings flapped, and Ash had already opened his eyes with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect you to be a Chaos Attribute! It's so rare. ”
The elder repeated his sigh, and under the urging of the elves, he said, "The attribute of chaos is the attribute of the place where the world creates all things, and all things are born from chaos, which is the most primitive attribute. ”
Pink Jingjing interjected, "What does this mean?" ”
"Don't worry, Ash is not only able to learn magic, but is also a rare all-attribute magic talent."
"Ahh
The elves were amazed, and soon flew up and down, happy for the ashes.
Badada flew over and asked, "If all the Gray Attribute Magic can be learned, why can't you contact the Wind Element for three days?" ”
"Yes, yes!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not done yet."
The elder wiped his beard, but his young appearance and white beard were not only not solemn, but a little nondescript.
"Although she can learn all attribute magic, the affinity of the magic element is not balanced."
"Did you see the light in the crystal ball from earlier? Red and earthy yellow are only fleeting, indicating that she has the weakest affinity for fire and earth magic. ”
"Cyan, blue, and green represent wind, water, and nature, respectively, and although these three elements have a higher affinity for her than fire and earth, they are not particularly powerful."
"Ahh I see, Gray is still a dark attribute! That black piece represents her highest affinity for the dark element! Pink Jingjing drew inferences from one another, and all the elves also suddenly realized.
"Hehe, so to speak, she does have a very high talent for dark magic."
The Elder's words caused several of the Dark Elves to raise their heads, and Nossi felt that his little nose seemed to have a tendency to elongate.
"And what happened to the golden light that came out later?" Pukaka raised his little hand and asked nervously. He is a light elf, and his personality is very shy, and when he sees the eyes of all the elves converge on him, his little face can drip water.
The elder praised, "Pukaka's question is very good. ”
"Actually, that represents the light attribute."
"Wow!" Several light elves held hands and cheered.
"Hehe, but the light attribute is hidden under the dark attribute, although it is powerful, it is not so simple to show."
"So although the gray body also has light attributes, and the affinity is also very high, it may not be able to use it."
"It's okay, we'll teach her slowly." Pukaka's flushed face looked like a red apple, making people salivate.
Badada was still curious, "But that still doesn't mean that Ash can't feel the wind element." ”
The elder knocked on Badada's head, seeing that he deliberately pretended to be tearful, and he couldn't get serious, stroked his beard, and said, "Humans are no better than us elves, and the first thing they can feel is the element with the highest affinity with her. ”
"The gray light and dark elements have the highest affinity, but you let her feel the wind elements that are difficult to sense, isn't it difficult for a strong man?"
"And did you teach her what meditation is?"
"I think she's just closing her eyes and concentrating on what the elements are!"
While being taught, the elves did not forget to ask, "Elder, how do you know?" ”
"Ahh Have you been peeking at us? ”
The elder's hand holding his beard suddenly stopped, and then he became angry, blew his beard and glared, "What are you kidding, why do I want an elder to peek at you juniors, there is something I don't know about a radius of dozens of miles here." ”
Pink Jingjing pressed against the gray ears and said with a smile, "The elder is not old, but he has a few more pairs of wings than us, and he usually hides it and we can't see it." ”
"He thought we didn't know, but we already knew that the beard on his chin was fake!"
"Fake?"
"Well, the beard is made of the velvet of the velvet flower soaked in the juice of the thorn leaves."
"Everybody knows that!"
After some instruction from the elders, Ash returned to meditation.
She finally knew what the meditation in their mouth was about, keeping her brain empty, not thinking about anything, keeping all distractions away, and feeling the world with all her senses.
As soon as the elder explained this, she immediately understood.
It didn't take much time for her to keep her brain blank, in fact, when they were in training, they were all asked to get rid of distractions and make every move, every move, every instinct of their own body.
Immersed in darkness, Ash didn't think about anything, only the sound of shallow breathing echoed in her own ears.
The world gradually brightened from darkness, and between the blurs, Ash seemed to see the moving points of light in the darkness, but it was like a thick veil that could not see clearly.
The elves guarding Ash's side were already dumbfounded, and not long after Ash entered meditation, they saw all the elements around her rush into her body at a terrifying speed of scrambling for the first place.
In the eyes of the elves, Ash was like a tower shining with colorful light, and points of light of various colors were densely packed all over her body.
It was too dazzling, and Pink Jingjing had to close her mind and no longer look at it with her heart.
The elder pulled his beard, as if he didn't expect such a situation, and looked closely, but saw that the points of light of all colors were just huge, and the points of light that entered the gray body, except for the dark element, the other elements were more or less bounced out, especially for the fire element and the earth element, a thousand elemental points entering the gray body would only leave one or two elemental points.
It seems that gray is really very compatible with the dark element, but the human beings who are close to the dark element must have suffered a lot, or have quirks, such as a love of death, a love of destruction, or a love of war, etc.
Some people will become dark attributes because of changes in their bodies, such as babies who are affected by negative elements in their mother's womb, such as people who have changed their attributes with special rituals or props, such as signing a contract with a high-level dark attribute Warcraft; And some people are born with a penchant for destruction, murder, and brutality, so that they will slowly reveal their dark attributes as they grow up; For some people, it is only when they encounter major changes, such as the killing of a family member, a tragic disaster, etc., that they will change at the limit of extreme sadness, anger, or emotion.
Ash, which one does she belong to? Listening to the meaning of the World Tree, she seems to have had a very hard time, even her heart is closed, and she always has a little wariness of people.
The elder shook his head, and his eyes softened a little as he looked at Ash.
Ash woke up, a whole day had passed, it was the evening of the next day, the sun had converged, and the orange dusk reflected the whole forest.
Not far away, on the leaves, Pink Jingjing was taking a nap, and Ash noticed that the pink dress she was wearing was the same one she wore yesterday, and she thought that she had been keeping watch here all night. This realization couldn't help but make her touch her chest, feeling that it was warm there.
"Ahh Are you awake? ”
Nossisi's call made Pink Crystal wake up, and then there was a small sound, and countless elves flew out of the bushes, it turned out that not only Pink Crystal, but they had also been here to accompany Ash to meditate.
"Ah, Ash!" Pink Jingjing pounced on Ash's face for the first time, and flew around her nervously, "It's not hurt, right?" ”
"Do you feel sick?"
"I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Really."
Pink Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, and the elves also had a relieved expression, which made Ash squint, and somehow, his chest was even warmer.
"Ash, Ash, can you do magic?" Sweet Honey squeezed out of the elf's encirclement and raised her hand and asked.
Ash nodded, gathering dark elements in his palm, and the elves congratulated one after another.
"I'm going to get the nectar!"
"I'm going to get the cookies!"
"I'll call the elders!"
"Let's set up the venue!"
The elves chattered excitedly, and they had to throw a celebratory banquet for Ash.
At night, in the hazy moonlight, the elves sang and danced, and small magic bullets rose into the sky, turning into countless bursting fireworks.
Pink Jingjing was attached to Ash's neck, and her little face was flushed after drinking more nectar, drunk, but still smiling sweetly, pulling Ash's hair, and constantly repeating to express happiness.
The notes of the World Tree are filled with countless elves, singing songs of praise in unison as the World Tree shakes with joy.
At the edge of the forest pool, the baby fish tilted his head sideways and tried to hear the elves' singing, but in the distance, he could only see a brightly colored light, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.
Caught off guard, a transparent object like a thick streamer went to the shore and pulled down all the nectar wine that the elves had given to the baby fish, which immediately caused the baby fish to be indignant and threw himself into the battle with the anemone for the nectar wine.
The moonlight is still hazy, but it is a little more sultry, the wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk, in the noise of countless elves, Ash quietly closed his eyes, and his thoughts were far away.
Perhaps, perhaps, she fell in love with these cute and innocent elves, she thought.
Otherwise, why would her chest burn so hot, why would she unconsciously curl the corners of her mouth, and why would her heart become soft?
It's just that... When these warm, kind, and incomparably lovable little things learn her true identity, will they still do this to her?
For the first time, there was panic and fear in the gray heart.
Looking at the full moon, she knew that she had really accepted these little things, and she was afraid that they would leave her after learning that her hands were covered with blood, just like Jasmine she once was.
