Chapter 103: The Ten-Year Covenant

"There's a very long story about the origin of our name." Rika, the half-elf waiter, sneered and said, "If you're willing to treat me to a drink, I'd like to sit down and tell you this story." ”

"A long story? Is it a story about Edwin? Although Wen Xin is not interested in such a love story, it doesn't hurt to listen to it if it is helpful for the clues of this mission. And if an expensive drink can get some clues to the mission, it's actually very worthwhile. What's more, Wen Xin doesn't care about these 1 silver coins.

So Wen Xin also ordered a glass of sour berry wine for the waiter Lika, and Lika looked like a flower, sitting lightly opposite Wen Xin, holding the wine glass with her white and tender hands, and gently rubbing the edge of the glass with her jade-like green onion fingers.

System Prompt: Rika's opinion of you has increased by 10.

"A long time ago, a human kid who lived in the small town of Del rescued an unconscious elf girl near Snow Fortress. This elven girl has a beautiful name, called Merian Rhys. In the ancient elven language, it means holy goddess. Rika took a sip of the wine in her glass and said gently, "Merrienris has been in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and when she woke up, she didn't remember anything. Since then, the town of Dirk has lived with an elf girl with a goddess-like appearance, and she is Merian Rith. ”

"The human boy and Merian Rhys get along day and night, and gradually fall in love with each other. And Merian Rhys's heart was also touched by this kind and handsome human boy, and the two finally fell in love sweetly. Later they got married, and all the people in the town attended their wedding and brought them blessings. ”

"The sweet days finally came to fruition, and the human kid and Merian Rhys had a child, whom they named Edwin. Edwin was intelligent and clever from an early age, and he inherited not only the industriousness and kindness of humans, but also the looks and magic of elves. At the age of thirteen, Edwin became the only priest in the town of Dirk. He saved the wounded, the plague, and many people. ”

Hearing this, Wen Xin vaguely felt that she seemed to be in the right place. The Edwin in the story may be the protΓ©gΓ© of the master lapidary Beans. Because he used to be a priest, he must have focused on the cultivation of spiritual power, so he was more suitable to become a gem craftsman.

The story continues, and Rika's eyes are clouded with a fog, and she seems to be deeply immersed in the past, not knowing when she has drunk the wine. In order to allow Rika to tell this story smoothly, Wen Xin was very discerning and spent 1 silver coin to buy a glass of sour berry wine and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you, you're so sweet." Rika smiled at Wen Xin, and then took another sip of wine.

System Prompt: Rika's opinion of you has increased by 10.

1 glass of wine in exchange for 10 favorability points for this half-elf waiter, Wen Xin saw that there was some expectation in his heart. It can be said that friendship is very important for the communication between players and natives. If a native has a 100 opinion rating, they will have a special affection for the player, and generally unexpected things will happen.

If this continues, Rika's favorability reaches 100, and Wen Xin is very much looking forward to what unexpected things will happen.

"Although Edwin became the savior of Dirk early on, he was still a little powerless when the real disaster struck." Rika said with a gloomy expression, "This time the plague is the most terrifying in history, and it is far beyond Edwin's ability. As a result, more and more people in the town of Dirk are dying one after another, but Edwin is powerless to recover. In the end, I had to watch my father die in front of him. Merian Rhys's mental strength is not as good as it used to be due to her marriage to humans and the birth of children, but she can't watch more and more people die, and eventually uses all her energy to save everyone in Dirk Town. At the moment when Merian Rhyth was about to exhaust her mental strength and become weaker and weaker, she seemed to suddenly regain her memory, remembering everything in the past, and a holy, peaceful smile appeared on her face, and finally turned into a cold statue. ”

"The town is safe, but Merian Rhyth is a statue forever. Having lost both of his parents, Edwin left the town of Dirk and came to Kasha City, where he lived his life incognito, got married, had children, and opened a tavern, which he named Edwin's House. ”

Speaking of this, Rika's eyes moistened inexplicably. She seems to be moved by the plot of the story, or by the legendary deeds of the Edwin family. At this time, another glass of wine was down, her face was already flushed at this time, and she smiled at Wen Xin, who had been listening quietly to the story in front of her: "This is the origin of Edwin's house." ”

Wen Xin nodded: "I understand." Edwin means warmth and peace in the Old Elven language, which means warm home. I guess that's Edwin's greatest wish. ”

Rika was suddenly startled, and looked at the person in front of her who was covered by a cloak with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "You actually know the ancient elven language?" Brave man of another time and space, I seem to feel a familiar power from you, you remind me of a person. ”

"This person can't be Beans Natfel." Wen Xin said the full name of the legendary master gem craftsman.

"You actually know Beanes?" Rika was even more surprised, "He is my father Edwin's teacher, and he is also a great spiritual power master on the mainland. My father had a ten-year contract with his teacher, but unfortunately he didn't keep it. ”

It turned out that Rika was Edwin's daughter, and Wen Xin was immediately relieved. However, the ten-year covenant that Rika said should be that Beans wants to entrust all the mantle of his life to Edwin, but Edwin did not fulfill this agreement as scheduled, could it be that something has happened to Edwin in the past ten years?

"Then why didn't Edwin fulfill this ten-year covenant? What the hell is going on? Wen Xin hurriedly asked.

Rika's eyes drooped, tears rolling down her sockets, and finally told Edwin where he was. It turned out that Edwin had not given up the idea of restoring his mother Merian Rhyth for so many years, so he took the statue of Merian Rhyth to the Courtyard of the Gods to find the help of the power of the gods lost there, but unfortunately he never returned.

The Courtyard of the Gods is a forbidden place that has long been protected by an enchantment built by the power of many gods, and is guarded by a dedicated guardian. In addition, anyone who trespasses into the courtyard of the gods without permission will be reduced to ashes by the powerful power of the enchantment.

As the inheritor of the Tomb Patrol, Wen Xin knew that the courtyard of the gods had long been unguarded at this time, and the only guardian, Ilya, had also turned into a soul and merged with himself. If there were no Tomb Rangers, there is a good chance that Edwin would have turned into powder in the God's Enchantment.
