"According to my father's instinct, if nothing else had happened, he would have wandered the mountains all the time, living like a wild beast and dying like a wild beast. But later, as he went farther and farther, deeper and deeper into the secret realm of nature, in a small isolated valley, he made a special discovery - a manor. ”

"The manor is small, but it is very comfortable, and there are many strange things in it that my father has never seen before. Later, he realized that those were the materials used in alchemy. Originally, he thought that this manor was built by someone like him who had decided to stay in the mountains for some reason, but in fact he had only guessed part of it correctly - the owner of the manor was not a human, but an elf, a high-ranking old elf with silver hair. ”

"Humans and elves have never had any major grievances, and many of them are intersections between individuals, and they can maintain harmony with each other. So when my father, an uninvited guest, arrived, the old elf received him with a welcoming gesture and called him a friend. And his father at that time did not expect that he would stay at the house of this newly made elf friend for four whole years. ”

The old elf told his father that the reason why he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests was not actually his intention, of course he did not hate the current life, but felt more pure, but retrospectively, it was all because of a bet. Speaking of this, Curry glanced at Rawls with slanted eyes, which made Rawls slightly stunned:

"What's wrong?"

"You only know that my father was very advanced in alchemy, but do you know who taught him alchemy? Now I tell you that his alchemy was learned from the old elf at that time. That old elf is a powerful alchemist, and he knows a lot of alchemy handed down from ancient times, and the same bet was also the alchemy of gambling. According to him, he retired and did not return after losing to a dwarven alchemist in an alchemy contest. ”

Although there was nothing to complain about when he was defeated, in fact, the old elf was still very unwilling in his heart. He always thought that one day he would be able to surpass that dwarven alchemist, but since he said that he would not come back, he would not come back again, and he could not do things that were untrustworthy. Therefore, his wish to compete again could not be realized at all. ”

It was at that time that my father decided to learn the alchemy of the old elf, and then he would go to the dwarven alchemist and defeat him. After doing some testing, the old elf found that his father did have a talent for learning alchemy, so he agreed to his father's request and taught him what he had learned all his life. ”

"What happened later?" Rawls couldn't help but interject anxiously when he heard this.

"Later......" A hint of complexity flashed in Ke Rui's eyes, holding the teacup and taking a sip of black tea:

"After four years, my father left the manor, left the mountains, and returned to the human world. During this period, a lot of other things happened, but my father never forgot the task given to him by the old elf, and tried all means to investigate the news of the dwarven alchemist, but the result was ......"

"The result?"

"As a result, the dwarven alchemist had left after the Terrans had completed his last work, and no one knew where he had gone. Curry looked up at the sky outside the window, his expression becoming a little strange at this moment.

"The dwarven alchemist...... What was the last work done in the Terrans?"

Looking at Curry's expression, Rawls narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.

"It's worthy of the prince of the dragon clan who has followed us for so long, and he feels sharp enough...... Although I don't know how my father knew that, the dwarven alchemist, the last work he left behind in the Terrans...... Yes, there is. ”

"Here?"

"Above our heads. ”

“...... You mean?"

Rawls' eyes widened suddenly. Although he had realized what Corey was talking about, he was still a little incredulous for a while!

"That's right. Curry nodded calmly, "It's this guardian barrier in Tagus City. ”

Rawls closed his mouth, held his breath, and after a moment's pause, he lifted the teapot on the counter and took a few sips with his head up.

"What the uncle wants to defeat is actually a figure in the legend of the human race?"

While thinking it was incredible, Rawls also recognized the horror of the old elf. Being able to compete with legendary characters is in itself a testament to strength. And the father of Curry, who is the heir of the old elves...... and the heir's son, Curry...... How strong should their alchemy be?

Rawls didn't know, but looked at the smile on the corner of Curry's mouth when he looked at him, and suddenly felt a little unfathomable.

Knowing that it was hopeless to complete the task in a short time, my father found a time and decided to go back to visit the old elf first, and by the way, ask the old elf if he had any guesses about the whereabouts of the dwarven alchemist. But when he returned to the manor, he found that he had returned late. ”

"Maybe some idle and boring big man happened to discover the old elf and his manor while playing, maybe the old elf made some rare gadgets, or maybe the big man didn't like elves in the first place...... He's dead, humans did it, there's no doubt about it. ”

Curry turned the teacup in his hand and raised his eyelids to look at Rawls, who was also looking at him.

"Even if he never opened his mouth, but in his father's heart, the old elf is his master, so the death of the old elf has always been an indelible pain in his father's heart. He cremated the old elves and rebuilt the small estate, where he guarded them in his own way for three years. During those three years, my father thought a lot. In the end, he finally figured something through and figured out something. After going out again, he left everything he had now and became a traveling merchant. ”

Ke Rui exhaled a breath and looked at the ceiling, the expression on his face was a little lonely, and he didn't know what he thought of in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to disturb your deep memories, but you don't seem to have answered a single question to me so far, have you?" Rawls yawned and glanced at Curry.

"Once you know that, you'll understand what I'm talking about next. Curry looked at Rawls, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly: "Then again, with your nose, didn't you find anything?"

"If that's what you're going to say...... There seems to be a smell of leaves on those two black cloaks!" Rawls said as he stroked his chin and glared at him.

"Leaf smell?" Hearing Rawls's creative new term, Curry was stunned, and then couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Rawls was a little confused.

"It's just funny. Curry shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Although she has done a good job, she still underestimates the Terrans, and she doesn't have enough precautions against me, a guy who is just an ordinary businessman in her eyes, and when she entered the store, she inadvertently exposed her arm." ”

Curry looked at Rawls, his gaze motionless: "On her wrist, she is wearing a bracelet, and on the badge of the bracelet, there is a pattern printed on it, which is a tender green leaf, on which a feather arrow passes through, and the background color is golden-green. ”

"Elven sign!" Rawls glared.

"The symbol of the Elven royal family!" Curry stared at Rawls, "The golden-green background is unique to the royal family. ”

"So, those two people just now are ......" Rawls stroked his forehead a little suddenly, "No wonder I smell a smell of leaves, it's the elves who are here!"

"And there's at least one member of the Elven Royal Family, most likely the Elven Princess Elena!" Curry frowned, thinking slightly.

"Strange, how did the elven princess come to the Terrans?" Rawls stroked his chin and looked at Curry, "And why did she come here for an hourglass? You said you gave the hourglass back to her...... Give her back...... Back...... Also ......"

Rawls glared again, and Curry smiled and nodded:

"You're right, that hourglass contains the ashes of the old elf. In order to remind himself not to forget the time with the old elf, and to make it easy to carry, my father made his ashes into an hourglass, and the hourglass was called 'Memories of the Silver Elves'. ”

"Uncle is really different. Rawls sighed convincingly, shook his head and smiled.

"Dangdang. ”

Curry and Rawls were so engrossed in their conversations that they didn't notice someone coming until there was another knock on the counter. When I looked up, I saw a white-haired old man in a white robe standing indifferently in front of the counter, looking at them quietly, and after finding that they finally reacted, the old eyes moved slightly:

"Who's ...... Mr. Curry. ”
