The Magic Guild of Dilis Town, the Wizard's Cottage of Seia.

"Higg, I really didn't expect you to give up the opportunity to study at the Rainbow Island Academy of Magic!" Saiya said kindly.

"Learning magic takes a long time, and I'd like to come back to see if there's any news of McCann and Jenny!" Higg said, "It's been more than two years, and I can't let go of it, I can't do it, like you said, and give up the responsibility of finding my parents and giving up my promise to my friends in order to be strong." ”

"It's not good news, do you want to hear it?" Seya asked, staring sympathetically at Higg.

"Bad news?" Higg said suspiciously, "Always know, you say!" ”

"Jenny is your mother!" Seya said calmly, his eyes still fixed on Higg.

The news was a bolt from the blue anyway, and it blew up so that Higg didn't say anything for a long time: "My mother? ”

"Well, you can't be wrong, I paid a lot of money to the Thieves' Guild, and it took them two years to confirm the news." Seya said.

"But according to Old Man Tang and Lan Xian'er, she should be more than a hundred years old!" Signannan muttered to herself.

"Old man Donald? Blue Fairy? Seya asked, confused.

"Oh, that's my friend, I got a clue about Jenny from them." Higg accidentally slipped out of his mouth, secretly feeling uneasy.

"But Jenny is an elf, at least six hundred years old!" Once again, Saiya broke out with startling news.

"Elves? You say I'm a descendant of elves? Higg asked, frightened, surprised.

"No, not exactly!" Seya continued, "Your father is the greatest military genius of the Alasia Empire in the last hundred years, Field Marshal of the Fifth Legion, Michael Alexander. The Marshal and his Fifth Legion terrorized the enemy twenty years ago, and you are the blood of Field Marshal Michael and Jenny, Hig Alexander! ”

"In other words, I'm a human-elf hybrid?" Higg was so shocked that he was about to break down and cried out like crazy, "Andrew, why didn't he tell me?" Damn Andrew, he knows for sure, but he won't tell me! ”

"You are indeed a hybrid of men and elves, and the noblest of them!" ”

Higg's ears have been sharper than others since he was a child, and when he heard Saiya say this, he had to accept his half-breed identity, and said: "No wonder Andrew asked me to use the blood of the elves to draw the bow of the tree elves, it turns out that I have the blood of the elves." ”

After a pause, digesting the news, and stabilizing his emotions, Higg then asked, "Jenny, where is my mother now?" ”

Saiya hesitated for a long time, and said very unbearably: "Child, you must be strong. Twenty years ago, your father, Marshal Michael, and your mother, Jenny, were defeated in the Ural Gorge and both were martyred. ”

The whole hut fell silent, this made Higg difficult to accept the news was too shocking, his chest was like waves in a storm, and it hit his heart again and again, one of the three tragedies of life, the loss of his parents at a young age, actually happened to him, but he was only a year old at that time. The Ural Meat Grinder, the Grand Canyon where he lived as a teenager, buried millions or even tens of millions of souls, including his parents, who he didn't know for more than ten years.

Andrew told him that he was an orphan since he was a child, but he broke the news of his parents more than five years ago, making him ignorantly think that he should be able to find his parents. This wave of twists and turns of the news made him, how could he easily accept it?

Saiya didn't speak, he knew that Higg needed time to laugh at the news, there was no silver bullet that could help him, and it was best to let him accept it quietly.

"Wizard Saiya!" Higg said lightly: "Can you tell me more about my mother, about the Forest Country?" I want to go to Forest Country. ”

"Your mother is the daughter of Cross, the elven king of the Forest Empire, the princess of the Forest Empire." "More than twenty years ago, your grandfather, the Elven King Cross, wanted to marry your mother to the royal nobles of the barbarian country for the sake of restoring the country, and your mother refused to agree to it. Your father was at war with the Barbarians and didn't want the Barbarians to get too close to the Forest, so he attacked the send-off party and kidnapped the princess of the Forest, Jenny, your mother. Therefore, your father has a deep enmity with the elven king of the forest country, Cross, and the royal family of the barbarian country. Because the forest country is weak, they dare not act rashly, but they secretly support the barbarians. So the defeat of your parents should be a conspiracy. ”

"You're saying my father's defeat was a conspiracy?" Higg asked nervously, "Can you be specific?" ”

"I can't unravel this conspiracy for you. Regarding the secrets of national politics and the royal family, the thieves' guild was reluctant to get too involved, so the investigation was terminated. "So you can't go to the Forest Country, it's too dangerous!" More than 20 years is not too long, and this hatred cannot be eliminated. ”

"However, we will only get more information from the Forest Country." "No matter how dangerous it is, I'm willing to go." ”

"After all, your parents are ashamed of the Forest Country, and I believe they don't want you to go into danger and question your grandfather in order to confirm some information." "Son, as I said, there is no one way, just as you learn magic skills, don't you also explore another way?" There will be a way to know. ”

"McCann!" Higg exclaimed, "He must know, only he knows, right?" ”

"McCann was the chief magician who followed Marshal Michael back then, and only he knows your parents' secrets." "But, McCann has been retired from the Imperial Army since your parents were killed, and hasn't mentioned your parents to me for years, and I wouldn't have found that much if you hadn't asked me to investigate." ”

"Wizard Saiya, why are you helping me?" Higg asked, "I've only met you once, and I have nothing to do with it, and I even owe you a favor. ”

"For McCann!" Seya sighed, "To help you is to help McCann, but also to help me, to help the Delis Magic Guild." ”

"Hasn't McCann come back yet?" Higg asked anxiously.

"Not long after you went to Rainbow Island, I got the news." Saiya said, "When McCann was helping the queen break through, he was seriously injured and has not woken up yet, and his life and death are unpredictable! ”

"What? Where is he now? Can't even you save him? Higg was in a hurry.

"He's still in Queen Catherine's barracks!" "I've been to see it, and the magic is running out and the life is dying. I can't save him, the only way to save him is to find the source of magic. ”

"A source of magic? What is it, a well? Higg asked curiously.

"No, the source of magic is a combination of magic weapons." Higg said patiently, "This magic weapon combination requires the combination of three treasures: the magic rune, the magic rune, and the magic ball. ”

"As long as you find these three treasures, you can form a source of magic, right?"

"Isn't that easier said than done? The first treasure magic rune is on Rainbow Island, and this one is not difficult to borrow; The second treasure is not difficult, it is the magic weapon of the Delis Magic Guild, but now in the hands of Queen Catherine, she should also borrow it, after all, McCann was injured for her. "Seya is patient," the third treasure is said to be in the hands of the magic mage Delonso, which is simply impossible to get. ”

"Magic mage, Delongso?" Higg was too shocked today, "Didn't you ask him to borrow it?" ”

"Even if he is willing to borrow it, no one will be able to see him!"

"You can even get information about my mother, Jenny, why can't you find Delongso?"

"It's not that I can't find him, it's that I know where he is but no one can see him!" "Delonso is a strange man, he has been a demonic presence in Middle-earth for nearly a hundred years. He spent decades frantically fighting against all the wizard masters, and he never lost a single time. Since then, he has sealed himself in the Alves Mountains in the far north, isolating himself from the rest of the world, and informing all the magic guilds that only magicians who have comprehended all the four origins can open his seals and fight him. ”

Higg was stunned, Middle-earth had not been defeated for decades, what a proud existence! I have stood on the top of the world, and the height is unbearable, even if I walk in the world again, no matter how gorgeous the magic is, no one understands, which is tantamount to walking at night in brocade. There is no opponent, but there is no bosom friend, only the admiration of thousands of people, what a proud and painful loneliness. Only by standing at such a peak can we understand how lonely it is to be invincible, and Higg himself can only sigh with emotion.

"Delonso chose to seal himself and, along with taking the mana orb, disappeared for decades." Seya said.

"Have you fought with Delonso, too, Wizard Saiya?" Higg asked with interest.

"No, when he became famous, I was very young and not qualified to fight him." "For hundreds of years, only one Delonso has comprehended the origin of the four systems, so he thinks that those who are qualified to challenge him must comprehend the origin of the four systems, and whoever challenges him will promise the other party one thing no matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult it is." ”

"What if the challenge is won?" Higg asked curiously.

Saiya shook his head and said, "That can't be! If that's the case, then congratulations, you've become a lonely person like him, and I'm sure you won't have any difficulties. ”

"You just said that helping me is helping McCann, just helping you, what do you want me to do?" Higg asked.

Hehe, okay, I'll wait for your words! Seya smiled and said, "I want you to go to Delonso and get the magic ball." ”

"What did you say?" Higg looked at Seya in surprise, "You want me to comprehend the origin of the four systems?" Why do you think I can comprehend it all, and how long it will take? Talent, opportunity, and luck are all indispensable, even if I had comprehended all of them in ten or eight years, that old McCann would have died a long time ago, right? ”

Saiya said unhurriedly, "You have a unique talent, beyond my understanding, I have confirmed this, and the four old guys of Rainbow Island have also confirmed it, so I am optimistic that you have no problem with the first talent; The opportunity you said will not fall from the sky, but to find and challenge, and there will be danger in it, but I believe that you are not a person who has no courage, so I don't think the second conditional opportunity is not a problem; As for luck, if you do it, you can talk about whether you can touch it or not, and if you don't do it, you will never be able to touch it, what do you say? ”

"Tell me where the opportunities are?"

"The Great Desert of Gori in the territory of the barbarians, the neon abyss of Rainbow Island, the Wanze Lake in the land of Mizuze, and the sin sinkhole of Shenlong Island." "These are the best places for you to comprehend air, fire, water, and earth, but there are many dangers. ”

"There's no such thing as a good place!" Higg sighed and asked, "How much time do I have?" ”

"One to two years, I don't count!" "I can only try to maintain McCann's vital signs, and we'll do our best, okay?" ”

"Did I say I was going?"

"You're going!"

……

Higg was not in a hurry to comprehend the origin of the four systems, and according to his ideas, he felt the most primitive things of magic from practice, but the reality is always full of twists and turns, and there will always be some unexpected things happening. Originally, it had bid farewell to Rainbow Island, but the origin of the four systems was related to Rainbow Island. Although Higg vaguely sensed that something was wrong, after all, the matter was related to him, and he had to do it.
