Feida was sullen for a while, and it took a lot of effort for Kerst to figure out why. It turned out that Lolita went to the Red Keep to meet the emperor, that is, her father, which irritated Feida. As an orphan girl who was also born in the Red Keep, Feida also thought of finding her own background.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Feida once asked many people to ask, the number of female elves who were enslaved more than ten years ago in the Red Fort completely exceeded her imagination, and there were dozens of noble lords who stayed in the Red Fort all the year round, and the grandmother who took care of her had also died the year before last. Therefore, no one can figure out which big nobleman ** elf slave gave birth to Feida back then.

What's even more desperate is that the royal family of San Jose, counting from the Emperor of Benin down, all like interracial women, and mixed-race illegitimate children like Feida are countless in the Red Fort of San Jose.

Kerst didn't think it could be of much help, she persuaded Feida to go to Master Setty for help, Feida shook her head, she didn't want to make a big deal for the time being, thinking that she could try to solve the matter herself.

Kuta of the Great Library helped Feida look through the materials, and the time period when San Jose poured in a large number of elf slaves was between twenty years ago and ten years ago, and because of the emperor's preference, there were about seven to eight batches of elf slaves who were captured in the Red Fort, adding up to more than a hundred people. Later, the fate of these elves was very miserable, and there is not one in ten who have survived until now.

Due to their humble status, the court eunuchs in the Red Fort rarely paid attention to their lives or deaths, and many of the beautiful elves were not highly recognizable (Note 1), and the court eunuchs sometimes couldn't even tell them apart. Therefore, the advice given by Grandpa Kuta is to ask Feida to find the female elf who is still alive and see if there are any clues.

In addition, Grandpa Kuta, he also provided another clue, it is said that the bloodline of the elves is inherited from the same lineage, and each elf settlement comes from the bloodline of the same elf master, if there is really no way, Feida can try to find the settlement. Perhaps, the elves will have a way.

This left Kester in his mind, and he remembered that in Manning City, Green had introduced himself to a hermit who lived in the Misty Forest, and the Misty Forest was said to be inhabited by a large number of elves, and perhaps, he should be able to go there and see if there were any clues there.

There has been no progress in the search for Feida's background for the time being, and life seems to have returned to peace. However, I don't know what Xiao Mu said to Lolita in the letter, Lolita has been worried about this time, and finally one night, Lolita invited everyone to come to the small building where she lived temporarily, saying that she had something important to discuss.

"I have one thing that I can't decide, and I hope you can help me think about it. "Lolita gets straight to the point.

It turned out that Xiao Mu heard that Lolita had become an official court magician, and the court magicians needed to study magic on their own. Xiao Mu, this guy, for the sake of Lolita, actually started the idea of family magic. Just in his last letter, he formally invited Lolita to Carman and allowed her to look through Grand Duke Carman's magical legacy.

The manuscript left by Grand Duke Kaman in the Kaman Royal Capital Academy, which had aroused the coveting of dark magicians back then, was a posthumous work left by the last Grand Priest of the Magic Empire, although it was not from the Department of Spiritual Magic, but it was definitely extremely helpful for court magicians who also studied magic.

Lolita couldn't make up her mind, this gift was too expensive, after all, now she was a princess of San Jose.

Kester was dumbfounded when he heard this, Xiao Mu, this guy, actually made such a decision without consulting him. Of course, Feida unconditionally supports Lolita, and Setty, as an outsider, has no right to make decisions for Lolita.

So Lolita asked around, no one could make a suggestion that would be of substantial help, Lolita looked at everyone helplessly, hoping that everyone could give some advice.

Kester thought for a moment, "It's okay, why don't we go back to Kaman together, my course at the Royal Academy has basically finished my theoretical study, and I will arrange to go to the army for internship later, I originally wanted to go back to Kaman to have a look." ”

Feidaguo is a brainless little maid, this kind of thing that is good for Lolita, of course she raises her hands in favor. Mage Setty didn't object, after all, the practice of court magicians is mainly personal, and junior magicians don't have the task of serving the empire for the time being, so she thinks it's a good thing to go.

"However, when you go to Kaman, you have to pay attention to safety, the situation between the Shang Alliance and De Sick is more tense now, and Lolita, you and De Sick have that kind of diaphragm. Setty was a little worried about Lolita's safety, and couldn't help but admonish, "Why don't you go and ask your father, can you go in the name of the envoy of the San Jose Empire, so that you can have a layer of protection?"

"Forget it. Lolita shook her head, she didn't want to have too much to do with the Emperor of Benin. "Feida. Caster, let's go together, with Feida and Chester, plus my spiritual magic, even if there is really danger, it should be able to deal with it. Mage Syty, you don't have to worry too much. ”

The group agreed on this, and decided to leave as soon as possible, and Kerst had to go back to the Royal Academy to explain, and Feida stayed here to help Lolita pack her bags. Before leaving, Mage Setty reminded Lolita to pay attention to her magic practice, and as she was about to leave, she found Feda waiting for her outside the door.

When she was about to leave San Jose, Feida still couldn't rest assured about her background, and since she didn't have time to continue searching, she still thought of Master Setie.

In fact, Feida knows that although Mage Setty is only a court magician, she has really helped Lolita and herself a lot in the past few years.

Master Seti was already a very enthusiastic person, and when he heard about Feida's needs, he agreed immediately, "Although I can't guarantee anything, I will try my best, this kind of thing can't be rushed, be patient and have faith." ”

With Master Setty's promise, Ferda's mood was much better. But this was all done in secret from Koster and Lolita. "That elm head of Kerth, I guess I thought I had forgotten about it!" thought Feda.

So, more than a year after arriving in San Jose, the same three men, Lolita, Ferda, and Koster, set out on the road westward, and instead of sailing down the Morro River when they came, this time they were ready to take the overland route, along the Emperor's Avenue, all the way north, turning west near the Morro River, and heading straight for the Merchant.

In the small dark room of the San Jose Library, there was a "creak" and the iron door was pushed open. Sitting in front of the magic lamp, Kuta, wearing thick magic glasses, leaned on a large book coupon, looking at something carefully. The sound of the iron door screezing didn't bother him, and Kuta didn't even lift his head.

"Kuta, I haven't seen you in a few years, but you still love to read so much. "The man was covered in a black robe, and he couldn't see anything but two eyes.

Hearing the visitor's question, Kuta slowly closed the scroll, took off his glasses, then picked up the magic lamp on the table and turned around. He held up the magic lamp to the visitor, and then smiled slightly, "It's you, I'll just say who will come to see me at such a time, come in and sit." ”

The person who came did not react, neither sat down nor took off the smock on his body, but reached out to block the light of the magic lamp, "After so many years, the magician's tools are still so coarse, hum, the great magic element is actually used for lighting, it is really a tyrannical thing." ”

Kuta was also not angry, and naturally put down the magic lamp, "Come to me, there is no need to be so angry. This is the library, only books, no hostility. ”

The person who came obviously didn't want to continue the argument on this issue, "I came this time to see how that person is doing. ”

Kuta shook her head, "Unfortunately, that person isn't in Kyoto City right now. But what's interesting is that you come to see that person every year, and you never say anything about it, except for coming to me to eat two "longevity fruits". I want to say that you didn't just want to see it this time. ”

The visitor laughed, "Worthy of being a guardian." ”

So he took off the hood from his head, revealing a handsome face.

Kuta was stunned for a moment, and sighed in a sour tone, "Do you creatures like you like beauty so much, isn't it inappropriate for you to look like this at your age." ”

The person who came laughed straight, "No, no, no, of course not." It's you who loves beauty, not me, I'm just handsome, it's different. ”

After chatting, the two closed the iron door of the hut, and an invisible enchantment shrouded the hut around. A cat that had been running around in the library to catch mice suddenly smelled a strange breath and instantly froze in place, its hair standing on end, and shivering for a while. As the aura faded away, the cat cautiously stretched out its paws, rushed at the heavy and closed iron door, waved it a few times as if demonstratively, and turned away.

Putting down her worries, Feida and Lolita, full of worries, were crammed into a carriage, and Koster was working as a coachman for them, and the wide Emperor's avenue echoed with Koster's singing:

“

I was born on the banks of Sunset Mountain, and I love to watch the red sun pass over the mountains.

I grew up on the Morro River and loved watching the big boats sail down the wind.

My body smells of agave.

In my mind, I see the Blondes in my mind.

Her emerald eyes stirred my mind.

Her red lips, as fiery as flames, stirred my heart.

Ah, lovely San Jose girl, welcome to the foot of Sunset Mountain.

Ah, lovely San Jose girl, welcome to the banks of the Morro River.

This land is my hometown.

This land has your happiness.

”

(Note 2)

Note 1: Purebred elves have a longer lifespan, when they are minors. The appearance of elves is difficult for humans to distinguish, and they can only be seen simply as beautiful. As adults, elves begin to look different. Because underage elves are easier to deal with. Therefore, it is a good target for slave hunters, resulting in beautiful elf slave girls on the market, sometimes it is not easy to distinguish their appearance.

Note 2: The famous Carman love song "Goldilocks" tells the love story of a young Carman and a San Jose girl. Kerst sings this song here, seemingly with a purpose.
