Volume 1 The Elven Messenger Chapter 23 The Divine Messenger and the Old Man
Saber looked at the young man in front of her in a daze, and for a moment, she seemed to be back on the tragic battlefield she had once been, standing alone on the apex of the throne forged by the bones of the enemy, getting everything the king needed, and then, losing everything the king had!
She was once alone, independent of the High Throne, and her eyes were all her territory, but the subversion of propriety and righteousness caused her world to collapse. A lonely pilgrimage, such a fate, when she pulled out the sword in the stone, it was as if it had turned into an eternal curse!
The long sword in his hand, at this moment, even made Saber feel a slight burn!
However, after seeing Yi Fan's unselfish eyes, the girl who was the king felt for the first time that in her bound fate, it turned out that there was also light!
"Master......" Saber took two steps forward, her expression resolute, it was clear that she was going to say something to Yi Fan.
"Don't call me master, just call me Yi Fan. Yi Fan raised his hand to stop Saber, and then said seriously: "You are the king, so, no one is your ma, master!"
Yi Fan, who originally wanted to pretend to be handsome, suddenly found out at a critical moment that with his meagre knowledge of English, he couldn't read the simple words that Saber had repeated countless times! Before embarrassment turned into a blush that was enough to destroy a man's dignity, Yi Fan had to choose to escape, and while speaking, his whole body gradually became dim, "Really, how did ......you read it in the first place?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Fan's entire body disappeared completely, and it was obvious that at this time, he had withdrawn from Zhihai.
"Yi Fan? What a strange name, if Merlin was here, she would probably know what it meant, right?" Looking at the place where Yi Fan left, Saber still said calmly, but on her face, there was a smile that she might not have noticed.
......
This is a heavily protected room, a place that ordinary elves would never know.
The dim magic light, the walls with the magic circle carved into it can be faintly seen, and a statue of the goddess of life that is a little smaller than the one in the temple!
"This is here?" When Yi Fan opened his eyes, he saw such a strange room, so subconsciously, he couldn't help but ask.
"You're awake? yes, you've been asleep for so long, and it's time to wake up. In response to Yi Fan, it was an obviously very old voice.
As soon as the old man's words fell, the situation in the room also changed, and those magic lamps suddenly became bright as if they had been stimulated by something, making Yi Fan couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
"Who are you?" With the brightening light, Yi Fan also noticed the person who spoke, it was a white-bearded old man in a black robe.
It seemed that the old man didn't care much about Yi Fan's state before, because Yi Fan found that even now, the old man was still sitting there with a calm face, silently looking at the magic book in his right hand that he didn't know how many years old.
"Who am I?" the old man with the white beard looked up, and while touching his beard with his hand, he made a thoughtful gesture, and after a while, he added, "They are used to calling me Connor, but even I don't know if this is my name or not." ”
Without waiting for Yi Fan to show a puzzled expression, the old man stood up again and continued: "Because, I have lived so long that I have forgotten my name, and so long that I have seen the second oracle in my life!"
In the end, as if he felt the eyes of somewhere, the old man's seemingly weak voice suddenly changed, becoming full of momentum, and as if some kind of magic had been applied, a strong pressure instantly pressed Yi Fan to the point that he could not move.
"Listen to them, you are the oracle summoned by Aethra?" The old man slowly walked to Yi Fan's side, closing the magic book that he didn't know what it was recorded, and staring at Yi Fan with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people, "But, I think, you are not an oracle. No, not only that, but in your body, there is an aura that is even more terrible than a demon. ”
"What? What you say, I'...... I don't understand. The strong pressure made it difficult for Yi Fan to move even one finger, so just by saying these few words, he felt as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Yi Fan didn't expect that when he woke up, it was not the gentle Aethera who was waiting for him, but such a rough and savage bad old man!
"You don't understand?" The old man slowly squatted beside Yi Fan, then stretched out his left hand, and after chanting a few simple notes softly, a black flame suddenly burned in his hand.
When he saw the flame in the old man's hand, Yi Fan couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, the flame was too similar to the one he used before!
However, Rao was like this, but Yi Fan did not admit defeat, and his face still made a calm appearance.
"If you see this thing, I think, you should be able to remember something, right?" The old man could naturally see the panic in Yi Fan's heart at the moment, looking at the latter's performance, his face showed a smug expression, and his eyes couldn't help but look in a certain direction in the room when he spoke, "If I use this thing......"
The old man had an obviously threatening expression on his face, but before he could continue, the black flame in his hand seemed to suddenly lose control, and after two sharp jumps, it disappeared with a 'flutter'.
Looking at his empty left hand in a daze, the old man showed an embarrassed look on his face, but just as he gritted his teeth and was about to do it again, a voice that made Yi Fan feel extremely familiar suddenly came in: "Okay, okay, Grandpa Connor, don't make trouble!"
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, a beautiful girl was coming out from behind the statue of the goddess of life.
"I'm sorry, Yi Fan, Grandpa Connor is actually a good person. Athera glanced at the old man with a slightly reproachful look, and at the same time explained to Yi Fan with a face full of embarrassment: "Because you saved me and Ciel regardless of your own safety, everyone has a high opinion of you after you come down, and many girls say that they want to ...... , so ......"
Halfway through speaking, Aethra seemed to suddenly react to something, and suddenly lowered her head, the words in her mouth became indistinct, and a beautiful flush covered her entire face at once.
"What?" Yi Fan obviously didn't understand Ethella's words, so he asked in a puzzled tone as he sat up.
After Acera appeared, the strange pressure had disappeared, and it was clear that it was the little trick used by the old man beside him.
"Hey, boy, tell me honestly, how did you use that black flame? I heard Hill and the others say, you can even cover your entire body with that kind of flame?" Obviously, Connor, who had lived for a long time, didn't really understand black magic, so almost the moment Yi Fan stood up, he almost rudely interrupted the conversation between the two young men.
"How is it possible? I have already come exactly as recorded in the book?" Before Yi Fan could answer, Connor said in an unwilling tone as he picked up his magic book and flipped it up.
"Could it be that it has something to do with the special body structure of the Divine Envoy?" Connor looked at Yi Fan thoughtfully as he closed the magic book.
The old man's words showed that he actually didn't know whether Yi Fan was a real divine envoy, which made Yi Fan feel relieved while worried, you know, this is almost his most important secret now.
But the next moment, Yi Fan had to look at Acera with a look of help, because the old man in front of him had now begun to touch his body regardless of gender, such an almost intrusive behavior, so that Yi Fan, who was in the prime of his youth, couldn't help but feel the malice of the world.
"Grandpa Connor!" It seemed that Acera couldn't stand Connor's nonsense anymore, so before Yi Fan's eyes looked over, she couldn't help but rush forward and pull the old man away.
Before this, the relieved expression on Ethera's face was not seen by anyone!
"Okay, okay, no kidding!" Although his previous actions didn't seem to be joking at all, the old man still said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
Looking at the brazen old man in front of him, Yi Fan felt for the first time that he was really too young, if it weren't for Aethera standing in front of him, he would even have the urge to call out Saber to have a battle of dignity with the old man.
"Then it's time to get down to business, first of all, whether you are a true oracle or not, I must warn you that you are in danger now!" the old man's expression suddenly became solemn as he spoke, "There are many people who don't like your existence in this world very much!"
Even though the old man was still acting like an old naughty boy not long ago, the strange thing is that after hearing the old man's words, Yi Fan didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Because he knew that those humans who appeared in the jungle could never have happened to appear there!
Yi Fan couldn't help but clench his fists, he clearly remembered that the target of those guys was Ethera!
"According to my proposal with Simon, in the twenty days before the start of the competition, in order to let you recover your strength as soon as possible, we will let you practice in this secret room, whether it is a moon stone or something else, we will also provide it to you as much as possible. The old man pointed to the statue of the goddess of life not far away, and said in an irrefutable tone.
At this time, Yi Fan noticed that those things that were emitting dim magical light at the beginning, in addition to the miniature magic arrays distributed on the surrounding walls, there was also a large pile of moon stones placed next to the god statue!
"What about Aethera, according to my understanding, I'm not the only one targeting the enemy!" At the moment when Yi Fan's soul returned to his body, the information Baroque had obtained from the rabid dog soul before had all been engraved into his mind, so he clearly knew the enemy's true plan.
Hearing Yi Fan's words, Aethera couldn't help but raise her head, but the next moment she swallowed the words that had reached her mouth as if she had thought of something.
"Aethera is my favorite junior, so I will protect her! Before you become a truly qualified oracle to protect her!" Connor pulled the reluctant Aethera and walked towards the door as he spoke, and when he was about to walk out, he turned around again and said, "No matter who you are, if you choose to accept the fate of the elven oracle, then the fate of the oracle will also choose you!"
After speaking, the old man didn't care about Yi Fan's reaction, and immediately pulled Aethera out.
"Divine envoy, is it fate?" Looking at the thing that appeared on the back of his hand like a magic array at some point, Yi Fan couldn't help but repeat in a low voice as he turned around and walked towards the idol.
