After the ceremony, Cronis and Wanda held tall crystal glasses filled with fruit wine and toasted all the guests present. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Alan, my best friend, I can't express my gratitude to you at this moment. β
Clonis took Wanda in front of Alan first, toasted him and thanked him. Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, Alan also deserves it.
After drinking, according to human customs, Alan originally wanted to say that he wished the two of them to grow old together, but after thinking about it, although the two of them now look at the talented and beautiful and heaven-made pair, Wanda will become an old woman in a few decades, and Cronis may not even change much in appearance, so the words of blessing can't be said when they come to their mouths.
"Are you worried about the difference in longevity between us?"
Cronis saw the hidden meaning behind Alan's hesitant expression, so he whispered in his ear.
Alan could only nod.
"Haha!"
Cronis chuckled softly in Alan's ear and said:
"We've thought of what you're worried about, and now we have a countermeasure. β
"Really?"
Alan couldn't hide his surprise.
"Of course, when Wanda was with Grand Elder Garlanord, Garlanod quietly taught Wanda a secret technique, using which humans can be turned into elves, but it is not easy, it requires the consumption of a large amount of life fountain, and the divine power of the World Tree, but now it is not impossible for us. This is the first time I've heard of this, let alone you. β
In the past, Klonis called the Great Elder to Garlanord, but now that Alan is a rookie Great Elder, Garlanord's name must be added.
"Is it possible that you were deceived by him?"
If the elves really have this secret technique, there is no reason why even Cronis doesn't know, and of course Alan doesn't mind smearing the old god stick with some black.
"I've seen the secret technique left by Grand Elder Garlanord to Wanda, the content is systematic and complete, it doesn't look like it can be made up, and besides, Garlanord can't lie, and there is no reason to deceive us before he dies. β
Klonis, on the other hand, has a lot of faith in Garlanord.
"That was so good that I was worried. β
Alan was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and even more felt unbelievable, it was unbelievable that there was such thaumaturgy in the world. If those elven elders knew the news, they wouldn't be so angry that they vomited blood. At the same time, Alan not only slandered Garlanord for a while, this old guy only passed on the responsibility of the Great Elder to himself before he died, but he didn't pass on any skills, and even the astrology that the Great Elder must master did not leave him any information, for this matter Alan also specifically asked Wanda, because Garlanod had been by her side before she died, but Wanda also didn't know anything about this matter, so Alan is still thinking about how he can use the astrolabe, but before that, he has to get the astrolabe in his hands first, although he is now the Great Elder, but the astrolabe is currently in the hands of Elder Dales in the House of Eldersγ And looking at Dareus's appearance, he didn't want to take the initiative to hand over the astrolabe to himself, it seemed that he could only take the initiative to ask him for it, and it was best to find an opportunity in public, so that Dales would hand over the astrolabe in order to take care of his face. Now it seems that the old guy Garlanord has done some good things, at least to fulfill this pair of people who love each other.
"Ellen, do you know why Garanord told me this?"
Wanda, who was still immersed in happiness, suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it for you and Clonis?"
Alan felt a little strange about Wanda's words.
"Of course not, I just had the opportunity to do so. β
Wanda shook her head and looked at Alan with some meaning.
"Is it for me?"
Alan suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he thought of a possibility, Garlanod wanted to tempt himself to become the Great Elder with an increase in lifespan, and hoped that he could be a few more years, at least a few more times.
"That's right, it's for you. Since he made you the Great Elder of the Elven Clan, he naturally hopes that you can always guard the Elven Clan. β
Wanda said.
"Allen, as long as you want, the elves can cast spells for you at any time, and even before Wanda, let you turn into an elven body, so that your lifespan can reach fifteen hundred years like us. β
Cronis looked at Allen, his eyes lit up and his expression was full of anticipation.
"Fifteen hundred years old, so tempting. β
Alan seemed to be muttering to himself: "But it is of no use to me, there are more decades enough for me to take revenge, and after a few decades, even if I can live to be a hundred years old, my enemy will not live to that day." β
"Alan, there are many, many things to do in life besides revenge. β
Cronis said unwillingly.
"Yes, in addition to revenge, I still have unfulfilled wishes, but it has nothing to do with lifespan. I'd be grateful to Garanord if he helped me predict who my enemies were, but I had no interest in transforming the elven body. β
Alan shook his head with a wry smile and said in a firm tone.
"Alan, I suggest you think about it again, a thousand years, even if not for yourself, you can do a lot. β
Cronis looked a little depressed, he really couldn't imagine that Alan would so firmly refuse the temptation to increase his lifespan.
"Brother Allen, is what they just said true?"
The little girl had been listening to the conversation between the three of them, and did not interject, and finally waited until the Cronis couple left, and then she leaned over to Alan and asked softly. Not for anything else, just for the thousand years of life, Cronis and his wife really threw out a big bait, and even the little girl was moved.
"There is truth and falsehood, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. These two are really a couple, and I was actually used. β
Alan remembered that he had gone to the elven elders for the wedding of the two, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Clonis didn't want to use the difference in lifespan to convince the elders personally, otherwise in the future, when the secret technique of extending life came out, he would be suspected of deceiving the Elders' House, and it would be more appropriate for Allen, a human, to carry this stain.
"Is it true or false?"
The little girl tilted her little head and didn't understand Alan's words.
"I'm afraid this is true, but Garlanod doesn't have any good intentions, he may be more concerned about my human lifespan is too short, and as a great elder, it is not enough to meet the consumption of the astrolabe. β
None of these big names were fuel-efficient lamps, Alan thought hatefully.
"But longevity isn't a bad thing after all?"
"You don't understand that if a person loses the company of the most important person in his life, then no matter how long it is, it is only pain and sorrow. β
Allen's words finally made the little girl understand a little, for Allen's brother, the lost Sister Bai Lanxue is obviously more important than life.
"I can accompany you. β
The little girl almost blurted out.
"You can't stay with me for the rest of your life. β
Alan patted the little girl on the shoulder and turned away with a gloomy expression.
"I can!"
The little girl shouted at Allen's back, but Alan didn't look back, and the little girl could only chase after her.
