Chapter 54: The Past of Master and Apprentice
Xiaoyu is a light elf with long pointed ears and fair skin. If Xiaoyu was really a light elf, then he should have a noble and respected bloodline, and he should have lived carefree in the beautiful forest at the top of the West Sea, but being infected by the aura of darkness has become the source of all this tragedy......
Thinking of the light rain, Hei Yu's footsteps couldn't help but slow down, staring at the dark night sky, the grief in his heart was indescribable.
He thought of the days when he lived in a dark cage, and the days when he and Xiaoyu held hands across the fence and encouraged each other to live.
remembered Xiaoyu's last words: "I want to go home......"
Once, in that pitch-black world, they used to be the faint light that supported each other.
Now, since Xiaoyu is still alive, Black Feather also has a new goal, and he secretly makes up his mind: no matter what the cost, he must find Xiaoyu!
"Hei Yu, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xiao Tear noticed Hei Yu's abnormality.
"It's okay, you can go back to school in a minute, I still have things to do. ”
"What's the matter, I'm with you. ”
"No, I don't. "I just want to go to the bar and have a drink." ”
"Cut, that's it, I just want to go to Boss Ling's to read a book. ”
Kuroba wasn't in the mood to argue with her, so he let her go with her.
The street at night was very quiet, and he had already walked to the central square, in front of the fountain, Ling Xiaotear walked a few steps quickly, stopped behind Reimu, turned around, and kept gesturing the biceps on his thin arm with his hand, his mouth was exaggerated, but he did not make a sound, and repeatedly conveyed a sentence to Hei Yu:
"I'm the strongest support!"
Kuroba couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity.
In the Magic Brake Empire Bar, due to the late hour, there were not as many customers as usual, and several tables were gathered around the booth to play cards and drink, and the air was filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine and dim lights.
Ling Xiao consciously ran upstairs to the study to read. Only Black Feather and Ling Xi were left in front of the bar.
Black Feather still sat in the position where he would sit every time he came, and after pouring a few glasses of wine, his eyes were drunk and hazy, and his body was gently lying on the smooth countertop, supporting his head with one hand and holding the wine glass in the other, shaking the wine inside.
"Boss Ling, you should know what kind of relationship I have with Xiaoyu, right?" asked Hei Yu.
Ling Xi leisurely cleaned his wine glass behind the bar, he knew that Hei Yu would come to ask him, and there was nothing to hide.
"Probably yes. ”
"Well, then you still prevent me from seeing him! He was once the most important friend of my life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that. Black Feather propped his elbows on the table and approached Ling Xi. "You say, he's your apprentice?"
"yes. Ling Xi replied briskly.
"I remember hearing him say that he used to have a master...... When did you meet him? Before he came to the institute?"
Ling Xi sighed, and there was also a heavy emotion suppressed in his heart, and he put down the wine glass easily, and he didn't have the heart to tidy it up.
"Speaking of which, I, as a master, am really ashamed of him. He leaned sideways against the bar, his eyes gentle, and recalled the past.
"Before I came to the Holy City, at that time, I was still the Dark Elf King, living in the swamps of the Western Sea God Domain......"
Hei Yu held his chin, a little surprised: "Dark, Dark Elf King?!"
Since he wanted to be open and honest, Ling Xi felt that there was no need to hide his identity.
His voice was low and slightly vicissitudes, and he said slowly:
"At that time, my tribe and the tribe of the Light Elves were only separated by a river. When I first saw Xiaoyu, he was only five years old......"
On this day, Ling Xi sat on the vine throne under the giant tree, and the clansmen hurriedly walked over with a child wrapped in black cloth in their arms. The left half of the child's body was rotten and black, and he was covered in darkness, breathing weakly from a high fever and unconscious.
"Lord Dark Elf, I picked up this child at the edge of the swamp, he is a light elf, and he was probably thrown down by his people. ”
Hearing that there were light elves infected by the aura of darkness, Ling Xi immediately stood up.
"Bring it over and have a look!"
In the eyes of the light elves, the infected elves are a symbol of calamity, curse, and ominous obscurity, which people avoid like a plague. It is also their usual practice to abandon the infected light elf children in the territory of the dark elves.
However, Ling Xi knew that although most of the infected people could not survive, there were also a very small number of strong people with extremely special physical qualities, who could not only survive, but also assimilate with demons and become even more powerful existences.
The people carried the boy to him. Ling Xi's fingers roamed over the boy's body, opening the Eye of Insight to examine his infection, and he was surprised to find:
"Fortunately, the damage to the body is not so serious that it cannot be treated, and the parts of the dark aura that come into contact with the body have begun to merge spontaneously. The elves who can fuse with the power of darkness are unique physiques that are rare in thousands of years, and they have a great chance of recovery...... Take him to my lodgings and let me treat him personally. ”
Over the years, there have been frequent encounters with Light Elf children who have been abandoned on the edge of the swamp, but most of them have not survived. And Xiaoyu, with the exception, survived.
Among the elves, such an exception is called a "mutant". Mutants can not only learn the magic of the dark elves, but also inherit at least one natural attribute of magic, and have the fair skin of the light elves, and the lifespan is longer than that of ordinary elves, which can reach thousands of years, or even ten thousand years.
The special change in lifespan is affected by the dark forces. The average demon usually has a lifespan of more than 1,000 or 10,000 years. The same is true for mutants, who will have a lifespan far beyond the elves themselves and closer to the demons, and they themselves will also gain the ability to regenerate quickly due to the fusion of dark blood.
It can be said that the "mutants" are powerful beings that override the light elves and dark elves.
Therefore, Ling Xi attaches great importance to this child. It is also because the two are very similar, in the entire dark elf village, only he and Ling Xi have white skin.
The boy's name is Lingyu, and after his condition improved, he completely fused with the demons in his body, and he looked no different from a normal boy. gradually got used to living with the clansmen, and Ling Xi took him as an apprentice and took good care of him, and the relationship between the two was as close as father and son.
About two years have passed since the happy and carefree days. Bad luck befell on this day...... The white scorpion of the research institute found the news out of nowhere, and found the light elf village, looking around for the whereabouts of the infected child.
Finally, they inquired about the child's parents' home. The white scorpion and a few of his men knocked on the door of a tree house, and Xiaoyu's mother walked out suspiciously.
