Lukka shook his head, "That doesn't explain why you came to us." When you rubbed the boat, we didn't have the guiding stone in our hands. ”

"The Guide Stone is just one of the treasures, and I didn't expect to be able to get this one back. Dolan said.

"So, what you were looking for was the Eternal Flame?" Lukka rubbed his eyebrows, "I can get some fire at any time, but it certainly won't be what you're looking for." ”

"You're not the only one on your ship who can summon flames. Dolan said to Luka, his eyes fixed on Nora.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm a fire spirit, but I've never seen the Eternal Flame. Nora looked nervous, her right hand clutching the garnet pendant around her neck.

The garrison commander Garantel shouted again, "What? are you a fire elf? Fire elves must be followed by a sprinkler team to enter the tower, oh no, you are not an adult, are you? Underage fire elves are forbidden to enter the Tower of Calm!"

"It's all in anyway, what else can you do? She didn't burn it casually. Phil dismisses the hollow of the tree.

"I don't really know where that thing is. Nora said.

"I didn't say you know, but you've probably seen it more than once. Every time you look in the mirror, is it just the appearance of an elf that is reflected in the mirror?" Dolan took a step forward, "yes, I mean, you are the Eternal Fire. ”

"That's," Lukka exclaimed, "she's an elf, she's my crew!

Instead of answering him, Dolan continued to ask Nora, "How old are you! Do you remember your age?"

"Of course, I'm ninety-seven years old...... "Nora said halfway, pausing herself.

"Ninety-seven, right? plus the time spent in the flaming honey locust, it's exactly when the Eternal Flame is missing. Dolan pressed step by step, "Moreover, the fire elves grow much faster than the wood elves, between sixty and seventy years old, most fire elves should enter the adult stage, what about you?"

"Excuse me," Lukka walked between them, "can anyone give me a science on the ecology of the fire elves?" ”

"Let me explain," Nora said after a moment's thought, "Although there are not many fire spirits, our living conditions are not a secret, and there is nothing to hide. ”

The second half of the sentence, of course, she said to Dolan, because every time the wood spirit opened her mouth, her face would show a very nervous expression.

Nora sorted her thoughts a little, raised her head and said, "We, the fire elves, have always lived on the island of Burning Mist, and have never expanded outward.

"This is partly because the other islands don't have the temperature conditions on Burning Kiri Island, and on the other hand, because our numbers are very stable, and there is absolutely no sudden population explosion like other races.

"Fire elves are not born from their parents like wood elves or other races. The core of our flame was conceived in the flaming acacia trees on the island of Burning Kiri. It's a flaming tree, and I don't know if it's a plant or an elemental, but it grows in a very similar way to plants.

"Every few years, one or two of the flaming acacia locusts burst out with a brighter flame that is different from the usual, and these are the acacia that give birth to the fire spirits. The elders of the clan would send people to watch around them day and night, and after a year, when the honey locusts were ripe, they would fall from the trees. At the same time, the flames inside will also incinerate the honey locusts that encompass them, and a newborn fire spirit will be born.

"For thousands of years, the number of new and old dead fire spirits has been basically the same, sometimes one or two more, occasionally one or two, but in general, our number has remained around four hundred and sixty

"As for myself, I was conceived in a honey locust, grew up in Burning Kirishim, and then accidentally left the island because of playfulness, and left the boiling sea, but I am still a real fire elf. ”

Lukka nodded as he listened, and then asked, "What did he just say about adulthood, what is the situation?"

Nora replied, "The lifespan of the fire elves is basically the same as that of the wood elves, and they can live for about seven hundred to eight hundred years. However, the growth rate of fire elves is faster than that of wood elves, and most fire elves enter adulthood at the age of sixty, but the growth rate of each fire elf is different, and the latest adult time in the records on the island is one hundred and three years old. ”

"Is adulthood important to the fire elves, is there any special ritual or physiological phenomenon?" asked Ollie.

Nora said, "There is no way to control the living flame without an adult fire spirit, and like me, without this garnet pendant, everything around me would be burned." Not only around me, but I can't control the living flames in my body right now, you know I have a lot of food, right?"

Everyone nodded heavily.

"That's because, only a small part of the food I eat can be absorbed, and most of it is burned by the heat in my body," Nora was a little sad when she said this, "I remember Phil said that some of you humans have poor gastrointestinal absorption, and you can't get fat no matter how much you eat, probably similar to my situation." ”

"How many human women would have to be envious of this?" Ollie exclaimed, but she didn't really care about that, because she exercised enough to burn off all the extra calories, and every day the Silent Reaper sailed the seas, rain or shine, she never stopped honing her swordsmanship.

Nora continued, "By the time I reach adulthood, the living flames on my body will explode outwards for a while, about an hour or two. After that, even without the help of this necklace, the temperature around me wouldn't get out of control anymore. ”

"I see," Lukka nodded to Nora and turned to Dolan, "These circumstances don't prove what you say, Nora is the Eternal Flame." ”

"Proof?" Dolan frowned, "I can feel her presence, isn't that proof?"

"We don't feel it, it's just your words," Lukka laughed, "and I'm afraid there's more to what you've said to us than it's true." You should know for yourself that your credibility is not enough for us to believe. ”

Dolan lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly: "By the way, mirror! Give her a mirror!"
