Chapter 16: Victor's Past
"Back then, a few of us were not able to pass the Ranger selection, so we decided to leave Quel'Salas together and go outside to hone our skills, and when the time is ripe, we will come back to participate in the selection of the Ranger troop after everyone's skills have reached a higher level......," Grandpa Victor began to slowly talk about the reason why they went out on adventures back then.
"Oh......" Kalia thought for a moment, she didn't know why she had to go out on adventures to hone her skills to become a Ranger, but she already understood that Victor had gone out on adventures for a reason.
"At that time, we young elves dreamed of becoming rangers or travelers. For the sake of dreams, even life can be put aside first. It's just that I didn't expect that I was the only one who came back in the end, and only one crippled person came back alive. As he spoke, Victor's expression darkened considerably.
Kalia felt that Grandpa Victor's mood was starting to drop, so she quickly touched Victor's head with her hand, and said to Victor like Aunt Tina and Vane had done when they comforted her: "Grandpa Victor doesn't cry, Kaliya is by your side." ”
Hearing Kaliya's words, Victor's mood suddenly improved: "Hahahaha, don't worry, lovely Kaliya, Grandpa Victor is not so easy to defeat." ”
"Hmm." After seeing that Victor's mood had improved, Kalia nodded heavily.
"Alright, let's move on." After Victor collected his mood, his voice calmly began to tell his story: "At that time, when humans were still tribes, their tribes were at war with trolls. Just like us. Later, we formed an alliance with humans, we taught humans magic, and humans helped us fight trolls together. ”
Victor re-entered the mode of reminiscences and said, "Before we High Elves joined forces with humans, several of us were already among the human tribes and helped them fight the trolls. We teach them the advanced use of bows and arrows, and we teach them our training methods. Join them in the battle against the trolls. ”
"I remember that time, it was the first time they repelled the trolls' attacks, and when the trolls retreated, they projected their spears out, and Krull was shot through the heart by the trolls' spears. He fell there forever, and before he died, he muttered to us that we should cremate his body and bring his ashes back to be buried in his homeland. ”
"Later, as time passed, our skills became more and more sophisticated. Until one day, when a High Elf came to human territory and offered an alliance against the trolls, and promised to teach humans magic in return, I remembered that the Empire of Arathor had just been established. Then we went to the battlefield with the High Elf Arcanist who taught human magic. It was that battle that killed them all, only I was severely injured when my finger was cut off by the troll, and if I hadn't temporarily comprehended the Light, I would have died......"
Victor talks a lot on and off, and although it is very straightforward, it is very true. Until the sun is sinking in the west......
With Victor's narration, every detail can make Kaliya's mood change drastically, and the tense and exciting story makes Kaliya both fear and look forward to the next development. At this time, they had come to the vicinity of the Song of Drifting Zero, and the general outline of the Song of Drifting Song could be seen from a distance.
When they entered the village, the high elves at the entrance of the village quickly spotted them, and the whole village immediately boiled. As the cars drove in different directions, the boiling sound quickly decreased.
Victor drove through the square in the middle of the village, and soon came to a house in a different style from the rest of Quel'Salas. Compared with the architectural style of Quel'Salas, which combines red and yellow and gives people a slender feeling, the house in front of it does give people a feeling of being thick and calm.
"Alright, this is where you two little ones are going to live in the future." Victor stopped the car, got out of the driver's seat, and continued, "This is the village church. You will learn from me here to become a priest who uses the power of Light. ”
"Has it arrived? It's so good that I don't do a car anymore and go out again. When Kalia heard Victor's words, she immediately jumped out of the car and muttered.
After Vane got off the train at Victor, he knew that they were probably at the station, so he opened his eyes and stood up, and when Kalia jumped, he jumped down with him.
By this time, Victor had already gone around the back of the vehicle, and he picked up the purchased items from the vehicle and said to the two children: "Okay, you come with me, let's go into the church, and I will assign you a room to live in the future." ”
Seeing Victor holding a large bag of heavy items, Vane hurriedly went over and stretched out his hand to catch these things: "Grandpa Victor, let's help you two." ”
Seeing Vane's actions, Kalia also ran over and said, "Kaliya also wants to help Grandpa Victor." ”
"Oh, yes. Thank you so much. This one is too heavy, let's let Grandpa Victor hold it, there is a lighter one in the car, you can take those things. The two children in Victor were so sensible, and immediately said with a smile.
"yes, okay." Vane nodded, came to the back of the vehicle, picked out the lightest package from somewhere, handed it to Kalia, and said, "You can take this into the house." ”
"Oh." Kalia took the package, cradled it in her arms, and walked towards the church.
After Kalia left, Vane weighed the remaining two packages, these two packages were still relatively heavy, on the one hand, only adult high elves had enough strength to pick them up, but Vane's strength at this time was not small, and he could barely pick up one of them, and staggered towards the church.
After Vane followed Kalia into the side door next to the church, Victor had just put Kaliya's package aside, and turned his head to see Vane who had just entered the door holding a large package, walking staggeringly, he hurried over to pick up the heavy package that Vane was carrying.
While putting the package away, he said to Vane: "Just leave these heavy ones to Grandpa Victor, you are still young, what if you get hurt?" But Vane, you're a kid with a lot of strength. Looks like he's a fighter. ”
Hearing this, Kalia said with a smile: "Brother Vane is amazing, when Ilkira bullied Kalia, Brother Vane helped Kalia avenge and beat Ilkira and them to tears with one punch. Kalia also wants to become a warrior like Brother Vane. ”
