Chapter 1195: Return
Crunchy.
A lavishly decorated carriage dragged by four sturdy white horses walked through a somewhat bumpy and rugged forest animal path. The animal path is very irregular, and it is narrow and rugged, because it is just a path formed by the wild beasts of the forest who walk and trample it all year round.
Guarding the carriage was a group of heavily armed and well-armed elven cavalry.
This line of teams has officially ended the elven team recruiting human mage apprentices from the human world. The whole process, in the human world, took about four months in total before it was considered to have completed the task of recruiting excellent mage apprentices.
However, the number is pitiful, with a total of eight human apprentices.
From the very small number of people with more than 10,000 people, only eight apprentices were recruited in the end, and you can imagine what kind of huge repercussions and craze this number caused among humans when it was finally determined.
Human beings couldn't believe it at all, and they rushed over from home with all their might, precisely in order to let their children learn the magic that was sought after by countless people with the elves. However, there were only eight candidates who were finally confirmed, and they really found it difficult to accept this result. On the contrary, their own children stand out and can follow the elven mage to study in the legendary beautiful and rich elven country.
Although, at the same time, it also means that I can't meet my children for a long time. However, his children were able to change their destiny through this opportunity. Even if they can't see their children for a long time, as parents, they can only endure the grief in their hearts and bless their children.
Some rejoice, others grieve.
There were many people who were unwilling, including nobles and commoners; They are naturally unwilling to be rejected in their own minds, and their very good children are not selected. They always want to vent their frustration through dissatisfaction and protest. In this way, I even want to let my children become a member of the mage and learn from the elves.
When this dissatisfaction and discussion became more and more noisy, Em Elan, one of the three elven mages in charge of assessing the mage's apprenticeship, slowly walked out. In the face of dissatisfied, questioning eyes, he just said lightly, "What do you think magic is?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he said to himself: "The essence of magic lies in exploring the essence of the world, analyzing the secrets of the world itself, and finally attributing it to oneself." Learning it requires not only extraordinary talent, but also one's own intelligence, and without any of them, it is impossible to go far on the path of magic. With that, Emu Elan turned and walked in again, and began to make preparations for the return trip.
However, Em Elan's words were shocking to mankind.
In the past, the magic they knew was nothing more than hearsay. I don't know anything about magic, and I don't know what magic is. Now, hear from a true elven mage who explains the nature of magic. But among humans, it set off a shocking earthquake effect. For the first time, humans have learned that magic is like this.
It turns out that magic is not only about mastering the elements, but also about controlling everything in the mysterious and untouchable natural world. It turns out that there is such a deep thing in magic. This makes human beings finally really know what magic is and what it does. However, it is also because of this that mankind's pursuit of magic has become more fanatical.
Although, this time, the elves only selected eight mage apprentices from tens of thousands of children. However, human beings can't help but fantasize that when these eight children return from school, maybe they will be in the same glory again. When the eight human apprentices returned, all humans would not have doubted it at all. Because, they know very well how much the gap between humans and elves is. Therefore, they had no doubt that these young children, who would be nurtured by the elves in the future, would stay in the elven country.
Because, since human beings began to deal with elves, they can clearly feel that under the cold and elegant appearance of elves, there is a heartfelt contempt and contempt for human beings. This is a contempt and contempt that humans can clearly feel, although the elves are friendly and patient with human children. However, when they are adults, elves don't have that much patience. And the human beings, too, do know that in the eyes of the elves they are a group of weak, uncivilized savages.
And the elves, who are strong in themselves and have advanced and developed civilizations, really can't look down on any part of the human race.
Then, as the base camp of the elves, it has been searched for by humans so far, and it is a mysterious country that wants to explore. It may tolerate human children who have not yet grown up, but once they become human children. Whether they can continue to stay in the country of elves is probably also unknown. However, most of them will be expelled after they have completed their studies.
At that time, these eight human mages who have returned to the human world will probably cultivate a group of mages that belong entirely to humans.
Humanity began to involuntarily look forward to what it would be like when these apprentices returned. I also looked forward to what kind of changes would occur in human beings at that time, and at the same time, magic would really enter human beings at that time.
In the afternoon, the elves began their journey home.
In addition to leaving some time for the eight apprentices to say goodbye to their parents, the elves slowly embarked on the journey back to China with the eight children, teary eyes, and the children's parents with the same reluctant expressions.
And Em Elan, who saw this scene, didn't have a taste in his heart. However, he did not know how to describe such emotions, and even reflected on their actions in his heart. But this reflection, even guilt, dissipated as time went on, and as they re-entered the realm of the elves, it disappeared without a trace.
And the eight human children, after the initial sadness, soon attracted all their minds because of the scenery on the road and the elven country they were about to arrive. With Emu Elan on the side to comfort them, the children soon left all their sadness and reluctance behind. Children are always very forgetful, but elves are the only ones who have a very tolerant patience with human children. They don't care about the child's curious and stubborn character, but is full of tolerance, just like their own child.
In addition to racial reasons, as well as the elves' natural love for nature, there is also a personality of elves that is very similar to humans. And these, taken together, reflect the tolerance of elves for animal cubs and human children. They know very well that these little things don't understand anything, and everything just comes from nature.
And it is precisely this most essential nature that is most tolerated by the elves and has plenty of patience. This is true for both male and female elves. Even, when faced with all harmless young creatures, they behave like this. For children, they have a lot of patience and tolerance, and they also know how to guide and change good at this.
