Chapter 15: The Mark of the Ancients

"I have my mission, a very important mission, because of this mission, I will be busy for a long time, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, maybe longer, so long that all the existing civilizations will dissipate, and I don't have time to pursue you," Wang Xu said a rotten excuse that even he himself did not believe, but this excuse was very much in line with the values of the Loren world, and the people of this world believed that God would give everyone a different destiny and mission, and everyone must complete these God-given missions.

In fact, the reason why Wang Xu does not plan to pursue Livka is not complicated, just because he is an outsider, although he is also an indigenous person born here in this life, but, after all, he is different from the true natives of the Loren world, he has too many secrets, he doesn't want to tell anyone his secrets, this will become the biggest obstacle for him to chase girls, even if he is with Livka now, but he will still break up in the future because of these secrets, so, since he must break up, then why bother to pursue her。

"You...... Aren't you a human being, how can a human being live for a thousand years, are you also a necromancer?" Liv Ka's right hand, which was originally holding Wang Xu's shirt, loosened, she pouted, opened her big eyes, and looked directly at Wang Xu with a puzzled expression.

Warren and Sangu, who were sitting next to Wang Xu, also looked at Wang Xu in surprise, and Thornton and Downs, who were not far away, as well as the knights who were sitting around, also pricked up their ears in confusion, wanting to hear Wang Xu's explanation.

"That," Wang Xu raised his right hand and patted the fold on his chest that was scratched out by Livka, and then, with a faint smile, replied in a low voice: "I'm not a human, I'm a half-elf, I've lived for a long time, I'm very old, I should be about the same age as Warren." ”

In fact, Wang Xu is also in his early fifties, and a half-elf of this age is equivalent to fifteen or sixteen years old in humans, but Wang Xu said a little more about his age, in order to tell Livka: I am older than your teacher, you don't want to find an old man to be your boyfriend.

"Oh......" After listening to Wang Xu's answer, except for Livka, everyone nodded their heads clearly, and they finally understood why Wang Xu, who looked so young, had such a strong strength, it turned out that he was a half-elf, and that would explain all the strange things.

In their impression, among those half-elves who can live for six or seven hundred years casually, they have never seen an old man at all, and even, some powerful half-elves have lived longer than pure-bred elves, who knows how long half-elves can live.

"No wonder I always think you don't look like a human, I've never seen a human with purple eyes. Sangu habitually yelled and interjected.

Except for Livka, everyone nodded in agreement.

"What about the half-elf, what about the age, what about the many things, I can live for more than a hundred years, don't you want to have a relationship with me?" Livka gritted her teeth and whispered boldly.

"Forget it, I'm going to be sad to see you grow old and die before my eyes. Wang Xu made another bad excuse.

"Will you not love me when I'm old?" Livka was still pestering.

"Of course. Wang Xu finally found an excuse to get rid of her at one time, although he is not the kind of man who will dislike his woman's appearance and age, but in order to get rid of her, what about being a bad man.

"Humph!" Livka snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, put away her back chair, returned to the knights, sat cross-legged on the ground, and then yelled: "Men are all the same, they are unreliable, I don't dislike you so old, you dislike me and I won't live long!"

Wang Xu smiled embarrassedly, spread his hands towards Warren beside him, and whispered to him: "It is estimated that we will not be able to go out for the time being, the group of sharp-horned beasts outside, after eating enough, are basking in the sun by the lake, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the sun sets before leaving, however, it will be more dangerous to go on the road when it is dark, or we will set off again tomorrow morning." ”

Warren sighed silently, thought about what happened to his group of people in the Forest of the Dead a month ago, and said helplessly: "It's okay, think about our past, it's really too comfortable to live, and we haven't experienced any hardships. ”

"You're not right," Wang Xu pursed his lips, thinking about whether he should tell him something that did not belong to this world, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell him, " Today's western continent is indeed a little more comfortable than here, but, think about tens of thousands of years ago, the living environment there may be even more difficult than here, in that environment, the ancestors of human beings used up all their wisdom and ability, and gradually transformed the living conditions there, so the living environment of future generations can be so comfortable now, I think, in the future, perhaps, the eastern continent here will also be transformed by some heroes and become more suitable for survival. ”

"Hehe......" Warren shook his head, looked at Wang Xu, and said a little lonely: "Now I believe that you are a half-elf who has lived longer than me, this kind of profound truth cannot be said from the mouth of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, you are indeed more mature and wiser than me." ”

"Thank you for your compliment, you have a good reputation," Wang Xu nodded in thanks, and said modestly: "I also heard these truths, and they were said by some elders of the elf clan. ”

Listening to Wang Xu's kind words, Warren smiled helplessly, shook his head, and looked at Wang Xu silently, he really couldn't figure it out: why did this half-elf in front of him, who looked both handsome and young, act like an old guy who had lived for a thousand years, so cautious, so modest, not energetic at all, lifeless, he knew a lot of things, but he didn't say anything, he really didn't understand what he was thinking.

Of course, Warren couldn't figure it out, how did he know that Wang Xu had lived for three lifetimes. In the first life, when he was on the earth, he was still normal, but in the second life, the era of life turned out to be the era of the flood and famine, and he had to face all kinds of powerful characters in mythology, in this environment, how dare he be arrogant casually, if he accidentally provoked a great god, then it is estimated that he was killed by others and there is not even ashes left; the third life is even more weird, it is the world of swords and magic, this world is more complicated, Wang Xu, who has lived here for fifty years, does not dare to say that he has learned the skin of this world, not to mention Warren who has lived for more than a hundred years on the other side。

Looking at Warren's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Wang Xu already understood what he was thinking, since Warren had no problem with himself and couldn't find a topic to chat with, then he could rest for a while.

As a result, Wang Xu closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, controlling the spiritual power in his body to circulate repeatedly in the meridians and organs around his body as usual, so as to enhance his control over the spiritual power.

Suddenly, "Ah!", a knight jumped up in fright, and with a "dang long" sound, he fell on the shield on the ground, this time he fell hard enough, he clutched his waist and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the knight's cry, Warren turned his head to look at him, and saw him clutching his waist with a look of fear, Warren got up and walked to the knight's side, leaned over and asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

The knight didn't say anything, he sat down on the ground, his left hand on his waist, his right hand pointing to a protruding black boulder on the wall of the pit, and swallowed violently, the expression on his face was indescribably fearful.

Warren turned his head to look at the position pointed by the knight, and under the faint light of the peachwood sword at the top of the pit, he saw that a huge black skull was embedded in the pit wall, the skull was too big, a head was more than half a man tall, and there were two long black horns like bull's horns on the forehead of the skull.

Although this giant skull is right in front of him, Warren can't tell what it is, the head of a human being, but no human can grow such a big head, say it's a monster, but the whole skull looks like a human head.

The puzzled Warren turned his head to look at the position where Wang Xu was sitting just now, and was about to ask Wang Xu, but Wang Xu had already walked to his side, Sangu, Downs, Thornton and Livka also surrounded him, and many knights also squeezed over, but they didn't dare to get too close, after all, the skull in front of him was too terrifying.

"The head of the devil!" "The head of the devil!" the minotaur Sangu roared after seeing the skull, "It's really the head of the devil!"

"What!" Warren, Livka, Thornton, and Downs all looked at him in surprise after hearing Sangu's roar, and asked in unison, "Really?"

The four Warrens are from the Western Continent, and the entrance to the Abyss is in the southernmost dark forest of the Eastern Continent, the four of them have never seen the demons of the Abyss, so they don't know what it is.

"It should be, um......" Under the forced gaze of the four pairs of eyes, Sangu was also a little afraid to confirm.

"That's right, it's a demon," Wang Xu interjected, and after attracting the attention of the five, continued, "It's the skull of the demon baby." ”

"What's the Magic Baby?" Livka's curiosity returned.

"The Demon Infant is one of the various demons in the abyss, a relatively weak demon race, but," Wang Xu pursed his lips, paused, and continued: "I have seen in the ancient documents that have been handed down that there are also some very powerful Demon Babies who have achieved the position of the Great Demon Commander among the demons. ”

Before Wang Xu could finish speaking, he heard another knight shouting, "There is a demon baby here!"

Hearing the shout, everyone looked in the direction from which the shout came, and saw the knight pointing to the pit wall beside him with a frightened face.

Wang Xu, Sangu and Warren walked to the side of the pit wall, and saw that a black horn-like horn appeared on the pit wall, which was the same as the sharp horn on the skull just now, and at a glance they knew that it was also the sharp horn on the head of the demon baby.

"No," Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, frowned, took a deep breath, took out a long scroll from his backpack system, opened it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then, put away the long scroll, and muttered, "That's really the case." ”

"What's wrong?" Sang Gu yelled at Wang Xu, and the four Warrens also looked at Wang Xu with wide eyes.

The situation in front of them is getting weirder and weirder, and the four Warren are becoming more and more frightened, after all, this is the Eastern Continent, a place they don't know at all.

Wang Xu didn't answer Sangu's question at all, but whispered to everyone: "You guys stand back first, I have to see what it is." ”

Before Wang Xu's words fell, everyone quickly stood behind Wang Xu, and they were far away from Wang Xu.

Looking at their cautious appearance, Wang Xu smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but took out a small hoe from his backpack system and began to dig the earth and stones around the bones of the demon baby on the pit wall.

After a while, the bones of the two demon babies were all revealed.

The two bones that leaked out of the whole body were only more than one person tall, but the head actually took up half of the whole body, and the rest of the body was very short and small, and on the whole, it really looked like a baby.

Between the two bones, there was a distance of seven or eight steps, and Wang Xu took a hoe and dug on the wall of the pit between the two bones for another half a day.

Suddenly, slowly, a stone door carved with strange patterns appeared on the pit wall.

After seeing Shimen, Wang Xu's eyes widened suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and he involuntarily murmured: "Oh, it turned out to be true, hehe, isn't it, I found out......"
