Chapter 182: Night in the White Wood Forest
"So strictly speaking, the eight intelligent beings in the world of reflection"
"Now there are only six left"
Sednas said in a tone of regret. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Obviously, this is not a good thing for Erudito.
But I can imagine what Mespier would say, and he would be happy to see his opponent eliminated.
"By the way, I have a suggestion"
As soon as I said this, Sednas suddenly regained his pleasant expression.
"Let's talk about it"
"My Translation Mantra Will Translate Your World into a Reflection World"
"I don't think that's a good translation."
"Can you change the word, for example...... Ugh"
Suddenly, when I came into this world, the aurora gate I passed through came out of my memory.
"For example, how about calling the Aurora World?"
The gentleman thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's really vivid."
"I'll discuss with the owner of the White Wooden Pagoda the adjustment of the translation mantra."
"Hey, hey"
Master?
"The White Wooden Pagoda has an owner?"
"Well, the most magical, the most knowledgeable elf"
"Isn't he very powerful, will he be stronger than Mespier?"
Sednas laughed happily.
"No, no, knowledge and force, are two different things"
Sednath closed the large book on the table and stacked several empty wine glasses.
"In this way, the White Wood Pagoda has many floors, and after learning the magic in each floor, you can go up to the next floor."
"It's kind of like a game."
"Hey, it's a very vivid metaphor, but the process of elves learning magic is not a game."
"Especially the magic in the White Wood Tower"
"Every time you go up, you need all the knowledge in the lower layer as a foundation"
"The higher you go, the less experience you can rely on, and the more unclear and unknown factors you have"
"At the top, it's basically abstract spells that are extremely difficult to understand."
"Everyone has the limits of their talents, so usually an elf can only specialize in the magic of a certain system"
"But there are also elves who can understand all these magics, and they will always live in the White Wooden Tower."
"They elected one of the most knowledgeable people to be the owner of the White Wooden Tower."
Sounds amazing.
"Can I go and see?"
"Of course you can, but entering the White Wooden Tower is a very serious matter."
"After all, you're going to see a lot of secret collection of magic"
"These are things that ordinary elves can't reach"
"So the White Wooden Pagoda can't come and go as freely as a library"
"After completing the trial of entering the tower, you are not allowed to go out at will"
"The tower has ten floors, and after completing five of them, you can only come out of the tower after graduating."
Sounds like a hassle.
"So how long does it usually take to graduate?"
"Normally, it takes five hundred years to learn the first five layers of magic."
I'm dizzy.
"After completing the five layers of magic, it will take even longer"
"The current owner of the White Wooden Pagoda has climbed to the tenth floor and spent 5,000 years"
I'm dizzy again.
"Do elves live that long?"
"We have about 7,000 to 8,000 years to live, and those who live long can live for 10,000 years."
So in other words, the owner of the white wooden pagoda has stayed in the tower for almost his entire life......
However, it is precisely because you have such a long life that you can afford to pay the tuition for 500 years.
It's outrageous for us humans, but it's a good thing I didn't say I wanted to go in.
"Isn't Grandpa Ambora dead?"
Ellie was in my arms, shaking her head and saying something in a fog.
The little guy's eyes were already a little misty.
"Hahaha"
Her words made Mr. Sednas laugh.
"Ambola?"
I asked sir.
"Ambora Shiraki"
Sednas explained to me.
"The Master of the White Wooden Tower"
Sednas is also surnamed Shiraki, no wonder he is so knowledgeable, it turns out that the people of their Shiraki family are so powerful.
"Hey, did Ellie also study magic in the White Wood Tower?"
"Ho Ho"
Mr. Cednas's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he were interested.
"Got to the point"
"In the past 10,000 years, there have only been two geniuses in the White Wooden Tower."
"One of them took 1,000 years to complete all the magic of the 9-story tower, and the other took 500 years to learn 8 floors."
Wow, as you can imagine, the higher you go, the harder it gets, so the time it takes to go up to the top will definitely double, but that sounds amazing.
"The former is Maispear Akasugi, and the latter is Eliheranna Akaji"
Haha, it turned out to be these two brothers and sisters.
Still, I finally understood why Elle seemed to me to know all about magic.
It turned out to be a highly talented student.
"How old is Ellie?"
This question occurred to me.
"A very young princess, only eight hundred years old, and Maispear is only one thousand or two hundred years old"
shock!
Astound.
Although I thought that Elle might be very old, I didn't expect it to be so old.
Oh no, my shock seemed to reach Ellie through a soul link.
The little one was lying comfortably in my arms, looking like he was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly raised his head.
In a panic, he stretched out his hands and looked left and right with misty eyes.
Then he threw himself into Sednas's arms.
"Wow......"
Little one, no, old fellow, no, no, Ellie, she cried with a handful of snot and tears.
"Your Royal Highness, what's wrong?"
Sednas asked in alarm.
Ellie turned around, her ears drooping, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes teary-eyed, and she pointed her finger at me.
"He thinks I'm old, woo wow......"
"They...... Woo...... are all little ghosts and little girls who have only lived for more than ten years...... They laughed at me ......"
The first time I saw Ellie's appearance, she cried like a little girl who had been bullied.
"Poof"
Fresh......
I quickly covered my mouth, afraid to laugh out loud.
I don't know why I came, but this time I saw Elle crying, not as worrying as I saw her melancholy before.
It amused me.
Liu Xiao hurriedly came over and picked up Ellie from Sednas.
It's like hugging your little sister.
Let Elle hide her face in her arms and keep stroking the back of Ellie's head.
"Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, you're still young"
"When converted into human lifespan, it is only a little sister who is only eleven or twelve years old"
"Younger than us, so don't be sad, ha"
is worthy of Liu Xiao, who knows how to coax Ellie.
The little guy stopped making trouble, curled up in Liu Xiao's arms, although he was still a little crying.
"That's right"
It seemed that Cedenas wanted to say something else to get out of this awkward atmosphere, after all, he had picked up the topic.
"Take the princess to the waterfall behind the house."
"The water of the stream in the Shiraki Valley relieves drunkenness"
Sednas look at me.
"Can also restore damage from enchantments"
Then he looked at Liu Xiao again.
"It can also relieve the fatigue of travel"
"That couldn't be better"
Bringing the blankets that Mr. Cedenas gave us, we came out of the house.
Liu Xiao hugged Ellie, and the little guy ignored me completely.
Oh...... It seems that she will be hated by Elle for a long time.
"It's Dark"
In this world, it was already about nine o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark outside.
Unlike the royal city of Ergonda, there were no bright lights, only a little light coming out of Sednas's hut.
When I got to the back of the house, I heard the sound of gurgling water.
Following the stream, less than two minutes away, you will find the waterfall that Sednas said.
It's not a magnificent waterfall, but a small stream that flows down the hillside in front of it.
However, a living pool was formed, and the bottom and sides of the pool were stacked with neat white stones, like a regular large bath.
Master Sednath didn't come, for he was going to sort out the notes of our conversation.
I'll probably stay up until tomorrow to finish it.
But...... It dawned on me that there was no separation here.
"Liu Xiao, you take Ai Li first"
"Poof"
Liu Xiao laughed at me.
"Don't, I'm not shy, what are you shy, do you want to leave me and the drunk Ellie here defenselessly?"
"This ......"
"Back to back just fine"
"Yes, it seems that there have been such things before."
"Well, when I was young, at my grandmother's house"
"Yes, yes, in elementary school"
Normally, the streams in the forest are cool, but here they are different, and they seem to carry the heat of the ground or the residual heat of the sun.
Although it was also cold, it didn't feel the ice, and it was very cool.
"Ahem......"
When Liu Xiao sat down in the pool with Ai Li in his arms, the little guy choked on two mouthfuls of water.
"I remember back then, there were no decent big baths in town"
Something beautiful came out of the depths of memory.
"When it was the hottest time in summer, my grandmother took advantage of the noon sun to take out the big iron basin for washing clothes and bask in the yard for a basin of water."
"Then give us two to soak in it"
Liu Xiao took my words and spoke.
"Yes, yes, but at that time, I was basically playing, splashing and spilling water everywhere."
Liu Xiao stepped back and put his back on mine.
The girl still gives me the impression of being emaciated, very similar to when I was young.
Let's give her more food in the future, and be careful not to let her eat so much fruit, she will definitely not eat the main meal again.
"I'm always sorry."
In my heart, a feeling of guilt, like cream, stuck to my chest, swirling.
"You came to me, and I didn't give you any good food, and you dressed very ordinary"
"And because I love adventure and blind ability, follow me into this world"
Ellie seemed to wake up from Liu Xiao's arms, she raised her hand and touched Liu Xiao's face.
Although I didn't see it, the slight sound of water was noticeable.
"Now, little girl, the little ghost feels very sorry for you"
Oh, I forgot, the feelings are passed on to Elle through the soul link again.
"Yes...... ?
"Actually, it doesn't matter how you eat, how you dress, where you live, where you travel."
"As long as I am no longer alone, it is the greatest happiness for me"
"Ha, what a simple request."
"yes, I think it's a very harsh and hard thing to do."
Oh...... Is the difference between me and Liu Xiao's opinion the level of IQ?
Or is it a difference in attitude......
"On the contrary, I feel that I can't stand you more and more......"
Liu Xiao leaned his head over and put the back of our heads together.
"Didn't you take me to the best steak once?"
"Here, I also ate a lot of delicious fruits, which human beings cannot enjoy in their lifetime."
"And I took a beautiful evening dress for nothing"
"I read a lot of books and saw a lot of beautiful and spectacular things"
"It's all thanks to the adventure with you"
"Didn't I tell you before that nothing can stop you from taking risks?"
"Now, I feel a little bit more able to understand you"
Listening to it, my guilt turned into emotion.
"Really......"
Probably in this world, only Liu Xiao has such power.
Could this be some kind of magical effect?
I can't say no.
Just reached out and held Liu Xiao's hand.
I hope that these touches in my heart can also be transmitted to Liu Xiao's heart through some kind of link.
However, probably, this kind of link has existed for a long time.
Back in ...... Many, many years ago......
