Chapter 15: Every mage is a scholar
Although they didn't understand the meaning of "opening a small stove", after hearing Sean's praise and his "very interested in arcane magic", several elven mages still had their eyes lit up and stopped.
Yes, while disappointed that humans "didn't show exceptional magical talent on day one", the elven mages were happy. They have been living for a long time, and they know very well that interest is the best mentor.
No matter how good the magical talent is, if you don't have enough interest in arcane magic, you can't go far. On the other hand, if you have a strong interest in arcane magic, then even if you are not talented, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to make achievements.
Elven mages, it's great to meet someone who is truly interested in arcane magic.
However, this is not what makes them the happiest, or the most surprised.
The next moment, the elven mages turned around. When they saw Sean, they were all stunned.
After 3 seconds, the high-level mage came to his senses, looked at Sean, did not hide his surprise, and asked in surprise, "Are you ...... Half-elf? ”
At this time, it was still 2,800 years ago, and although the High Elves had some contact with humans, it was not much after all. And the elves and humans who can look at each other, then have a beautiful love, and finally bear the fruit of love, are even rarer. Therefore, the number of half-elves is even smaller than that of giant pandas on the earth.
This leads to another situation: there are even fewer who know and can recognize half-elves.
This can be seen from the obvious reality: in the whole of Riptide Castle, no one has ever questioned Sean's race, and at most they believe that Sean has developed some kind of genetic mutation, although they don't know what a genetic mutation is.
Merry Winterwind is one of them.
After hearing the high-level mage's inquiry, he immediately scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "What, what is a half-elf?" ”
Half-elf, what, something?
It's swearing, isn't it?
Although the speaker is unintentional, it sounds like scolding, right?
Sean immediately said angrily: "Half-elf is not a thing!" No, half-elves are things! It's not right either......"
Merry Winterwind was obviously confused by Sean, staring at a pair of big eyes, extremely confused: "Is that half-elf a thing?" ”
The conversation between the two underage elves made the always elegant and gentle High Elf laugh as well.
The High Elf mage secretly pursed his lips and smiled for a while before he straightened his mind and explained: "Half-elf is a special race, the offspring of the combination of elves and other races, with two different bloodlines, and they are half-bloods. Young man, I take the liberty of asking, what is your name? I mean your full name, which includes first and last name. ”
Sean immediately realized that this was an investigation.
In this world, surnames are very important. Because the surname represents the bloodline. When many people introduce themselves, they will bring their last name and the name of their elders.
For example, if Medivan introduces himself, he will say "My name is Medivan Elam, son of Neras Elam", although he is more likely to refer to his mother than his father, who is more powerful and famous.
The High Elf mage wanted to find out Sean's origin from Sean's surname. Since ancient times, there have not been many elves, so there are not many surnames. Any adult elf is familiar with all elf surnames.
Sean wasn't going to lie.
In fact, for his inexplicable surname and inexplicable half-elf identity, he also wanted to figure out what was going on.
So Sean only hesitated for a moment, and then replied happily, "My name is Sean, Sean Hazuki." ”
Sean Hazuki?
Several elven mages glanced at each other, bewildered in each other's eyes.
Because they don't remember which elf had the last name "Hazuki".
"Perhaps, it's a declining surname? Or a newly born surname? The mages thought.
The surname of the elf is not eternal.
For example, the King of Quel'Thalas, the great Anastarian Sunstrider, whose surname "Sunstrider" was named after the High Elves split from the Night Elves.
Hazuki, maybe that's how it came about?
The elven mages didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly put this minor issue behind them. The High Elf mage pursed his lips at Sean and asked, "Sean, what did you just say...... Want us to open a small stove for the two of you? What does it mean to open a small stove? ”
Sean hurriedly replied, "Wise mage, that's right. Opening a small stove means teaching alone. During the day's lecture, the two of us were confused, so we wanted to ask Master Master to tell us again, but I don't know, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Sean lowered his voice and began to be cute and coquettish.
This product is very discerning.
The reason why she is slightly cute and coquettish is because the high elf mage in front of her is a beautiful woman. If it's a man, Sean won't have to vomit first! You know, Sean is straight, not curved, and has no interest in the same sex.
Although the High Elves are far away from the Well of Eternity, their lifespan is no longer endless, but they are still a long-lived race, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds or thousands of years. So for the High Elves, Sean, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is not even a teenager, at most a child...... Even considering that he is not a pure elf, but a half-elf.
So for Sean's cuteness and coquettishness, the High Elf mage can understand it very well.
Perhaps because of Sean's half-elf identity, the High Elf mage instantly got a lot closer, and quickly agreed to Sean's request.
As guests of Riptide Castle, the High Elves' residence is not far from the King's Palace. Led by the elven mage, Sean and Merry arrived together in a certain room.
It is a room similar to a "library" in nature, filled with books. Most of the books are in the royal collection of Aratho, and only a few of them exude a strong arcane energy, which are magic books brought by elven mages.
Every magic book is very precious.
Every mage is a scholar, and their powerful magical abilities are accumulated through tireless study and study.
After making sure that Sean and Merry were literate, the elven mage took a large stack of books from the shelves, piled them in front of them, dropped a sentence, and began to read another book in her hand.
"From top to bottom, read it thoroughly, and then come back to me."
