290 The legend of coaxing children
readx;?“ Why are you here?" Katrina's sudden appearance surprised Ian, "Come to me?"
"Yes and no. Katrina sat down across from Ian, "I was walking around here, and when I saw you outside, I followed."www.biquge.info But I do have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?" Ian asked casually, then picked up the silver knife and fork to eat steak, he was so hungry, in his eyes, steak was now more attractive than Katrina's beauty.
Katrina watched Ian gobble up and couldn't help but feel like he was white. The sons and daughters of many big families in the imperial capital, in order to win her good looks, will pretend to be gentle and elegant in front of her. Ian, on the other hand, feels like you're here or there.
But thinking that the person he liked was his cousin, Katrina was relieved, or rather had to be relieved. The Messiah was the only one Katrina who felt that her appearance was not comparable, and there was no one.
"It's about my cousin. ”
Ian immediately stopped stuffing the steak into his mouth and looked up at Katrina.
Really.
Katrina smiled bitterly in her heart, only when she mentions the Messiah will this guy look at herself.
Actually, I'm not to blame Ian. In Ian's eyes, Katrina is just a lady from a noble family, and the last time she said that she wanted to talk to her about the Messiah, she didn't say anything for a long time.
"What's it this time again?"
"Just a legend. Katrina leaned forward, her long curls falling down on the table, her beautiful eyes staring at Ian unblinking, "It's about, Elven Heart." ”
Elven Heart?
The moment Ian heard the term, Ian thought that Karan had told his granddaughter about their next trip. But when you think about it, it seems unlikely, according to Karan, this mission is highly classified, and he even broke up his old butler when he told Ian about them.
Then he has no reason to tell his granddaughter that it is.
Although he was confused, Ian didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be curious, and Katrina continued, in fact, it wasn't all pretend, and he was indeed curious about what kind of elf heart it was.
"What is an elven heart?" Ian asked.
"A sacred relic in the legends of the elves. Katrina said, "Legend has it that it was a relic formed from the tears of the first Elven Queen. ”
Tears of a lifetime?Can tears be condensed into holy relics?Ian was a little unconvinced, Katrina caught the change in Ian's expression, guessed what he was thinking, pursed her lips and smiled: "You think it's a little unbelievable, right, in fact, the legend about the elves has always been like this, there is a very illusory feeling, like listening to a story." ”
Ian nodded, agreeing.
"But you and I haven't seen anyone from the elves, have we? Katrina said, "No matter how illusory the legends are, they come from reality, and who knows if they really have a power that we don't have." It's like a dragon, if you hadn't seen Naga of Fire and the Dragon Emperor Mussolini, would you believe that there is such a great power in this world?"
Ian had to admit that Katrina did have a point, so it was not impossible that there really was a treasure condensed from tears.
Seeing that Ian believed it, Katrina continued: "The Elven Heart has always been a sacred relic of the Elven Race, and it is said that the strongest Elven warriors of each generation serve as its guardian and guard it. Of course, these are legends from a long, long time ago, and in fact, no one knows whether there are still elves now. It stands to reason that they became extinct a hundred years ago. ”
Therefore, no one knows whether our mission this time will be empty. Ian thought to himself.
"But anyway, I think you can go and look for the elves, find the elven hearts. ”
"Why?"
"In legend, the Elven Heart seals the lifelong power of the first Elven Queen, and can grant a wish of the honest and trustworthy. ”
One, one, one, one wish?
The corners of Ian's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say. The legends about the elves are more unreliable than the other, and even the trick of deceiving children such as wishing has come out. If he finds the Elven Heart and says that his wish is to exterminate the dragons, will the first Elven Queen be able to jump out of the grave and cut down Mussolini?
Obvious unreality.
"I know what you're thinking. Katrina smiled wryly and lowered her head, and said, "In fact, I don't want to tell you this kind of child-coaxing story. But this is indeed a legend about the elves, and it did tempt many humans to find the elves and find the elven heart a long time ago, but there is no follow-up. ”
"So this kind of thing is 80% fake. Ian shook his head, "No, I should say that ninety percent of it is fake. ”
"That's right, ninety percent of the legends are fake. Katrina suddenly looked up and looked at Ian with burning eyes, "But you have to try for that one out of ten percent, don't you?"
Ian froze.
Katrina's body left the table and slowly leaned back in her chair: "Do you think there is anything other than this illusory legend that can save the Messiah?"
Ian was silent. He knew that what Katrina said was right, even if the legend of the Elven Heart was ninety percent false, he had to work hard for that one, because what he had to resist was the heavens, which in itself was an even more legendary existence.
"I see. Ian nodded, "Thank you." ”
Listening to Ian's words, Katrina also smiled: "Don't thank me, I also want to help my poor cousin, but there is so little I can do to tell you these legends of coaxing children." ”
"Legends aren't all fake. ”
Ian's words are true, because the Iliad is a bigger legend in itself. Who is more real, the power of the gods or the heart of the elves? But what is certain is that since there is such a legend, then there will always be some basis.
"Alright, it's late, it's time for me to leave. ”
Katrina slowly got up and stretched out a big stretch, revealing her excellent figure. Ian just glanced at it, then was embarrassed to look at it again. And his dodging gaze was caught by Katrina, who laughed in her heart: "I'm not a fool after all."
"Finish your dinner. Katrina looked at the steaks on the table, which were almost cold, "I'll go first." ”
