In a warm and slightly ambiguous atmosphere, Elk drank the bowl of bitter and heartbroken medicine happily. 【Starter】

Tiana didn't stay long before hurrying away, not knowing what to think about, she didn't talk to El about the war situation. El was also reluctant to discuss the disappointments when he was with the girl, but that didn't affect his ability to make his own analytical judgments through observation.

He is still housed in a tent and has not been sent back to the city, indicating that the war is not over and humanity has not yet won. The neat and powerful footsteps of the guards patrolling outside indicate that humanity is still in an advantageous position, at least the barracks have not yet been attacked.

Could it be that they had compromised with the Landwalkers? El, on second thought, thought that such an inference was more likely. With his understanding of those noble lords, after they received information about the arrival of the princess of the earth, they would not rush to war. Human aristocrats have always been keen to calculate the gains and losses, and it is not surprising that they make the decision to conspire with the tiger when there is a possibility that both sides will lose.

The choice of war and peace didn't matter to El, it was something that the noble lord had to consider, and he just had to know that humanity had not failed. Istalon was spared from the flames of war, and Tika naturally did not have to worry about his safety.

Thinking of Tika, El couldn't help but have another headache. I have been in a coma for three days and three nights without any news, and I am afraid that the little girl is not less frightened. There must be many inconveniences in the military, Tiana has saved her life to the fullest, and it is estimated that it is impossible to send someone home to inform her. Why does he ask for special treatment as a nobody?

While El's was struggling, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and it was a strange old man who walked in. His hair and beard were already snow-white, and his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, and he looked extremely old, but his steps were very steady. A pair of eyes sunken in their sockets are like torches, and they seem to be able to perceive people's hearts. The robes he wears are plain, but the fabrics used are extremely fine and soft.

Judging from the signs observed, this old man must be a big man who is not easy to provoke.

"You're finally awake, it's good, it's good. The old man walked up to El and touched his chin and nodded.

"Uh...... Did you save my life, old sir?" asked El tentatively.

"You saved your life. The old man looked Er's body up and down, with a creepy excitement in his eyes: "It's really funny to be able to escape in front of the eyes of the princess of the earth." ”

"In fact, I found Her Highness half a mountain away from her, and I didn't escape in the end, otherwise how could I have done this. El pursed his lips helplessly, he didn't know how Romney reported to his superiors, but what the old man knew was obviously far from the truth.

"No, no, no, although I'm also interested in this distance, I'm talking about something else. The old man shook his head, looking at El with some meaning in his eyes.

"In terms of the realm gap between you and that Highness, when she sees you, you should be dead. ”

El swallowed his saliva, shuddering as he recalled the scene. Even from a distance of thousands of meters, the understated glance of the princess was deeply imprinted in his mind, and at that moment he could not even give birth to any urge to resist, so he could only flee with his tail between his legs like a lost dog.

"I'm just a fluke......," Elr argued dryly, not even convincing himself.

"Adult princesses of the earth have the strength to step into the golden gate, and His Royal Highness Rangalia is the best among them. And you're just a bronze-rank hunter who has just gotten a glimpse of silver. So it's not a fluke, it's just a miracle. The old man spread his hands and drew an exaggerated distance to describe the difference in power between El and the princess of the earth.

"However, I myself basically don't believe in miracles. ”

He suddenly changed his words, and the expression on his face became serious: "Everything in the world has its own laws and laws, and the so-called miracle is just a matter of probability, and it is only because it is difficult for onlookers to notice the hidden elements that they will be confused by seemingly unreasonable results." In other words, there must be a cause for effect. You didn't survive by chance, but because of the cards you had to save your life. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" El was a little confused by the old man's crazy words.

"You survived under the gaze of the princess of the earth, not your head bloomed, and the real reason came from the protection of the power of the runes. The old man tapped El's head and said, "At the beginning of the rune, the name is El, which means insight, and has additional immunity to mental shocks. ”

El was silent for a long time, only felt cold hands and feet. As a killer weapon at the bottom of the box, even in front of Tiana, he never mentioned his ability to master the power of runes, but he didn't expect to be told by this old man who was chattering.

"Can you scout from Mantes...... That is, surviving the pursuit of that kind of mantis monster is not a fluke. ”

As he spoke, the old man reached out and pulled out a familiar spherical object from his pocket. Langa's eggshell was tied with silk threads of various colors on the left and right, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Elle was dumbfounded, completely unsure of what expression to use to face the old man, who seemed to know everything.

"When they came back to you, you were almost bleeding. Even the most powerful divine healing can't save a dead person, but you survived. Later, when I examined it, I found that you had a remnant of a potion in your body that was unique to the Terrestrial Royals, which they themselves called 'Adrenaline Essence'. ”

The old man shook the eggs on his hand, listened attentively for a moment, and sighed regretfully: "This larva is too young, and it forcibly secretes a lot of adrenaline at the cost of consuming physical energy, and the consequence is that it also falls into a deep sleep. If this is in a hive, this weak fool will soon be eaten by the sisters. ”

"Langa...... She saved me?"

El looked at the motionless eggs, and his heart was full of emotion. Before he lost consciousness, he saw the sight of the little thing hunting the last mantis monster, and he was a little worried that he would be eaten too. Now that I think about it, it is likely that Langa is trying to protect herself, so she resists her fear of her sister and rushes out to meet it.

At that time, the little thing may have also felt the fear in his heart, the fear of death, the fear of her. As the owner, I am really unqualified.

"If you go further, it's not a fluke that you're being rescued. You were still breathing when you were sent to the camp, but even the high priests of the temples couldn't heal the injuries. It was the little girl who went to ask Her Highness the Holy Sister to pray herself, and the grace of God brought your rotten life back from the door of death. ”

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head, looking at El as if he were looking at a gold-encrusted pig's head.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, everyone knows that the two little girls don't look at each other well. It's no ordinary friendship to get that little girl to put down her face and intercede for you, and there are many people in the camp who are guessing your true identity. ”

That's because you don't understand Miss Dancing Snake's unscrupulous style, El said to himself. But he himself knows that this time it was really thanks to the girl's help. The relationship between two people has long been not as simple as owing favors, and it is good to keep these things in mind.

When the old man mentioned the girl, El's somewhat hot mind suddenly calmed down. Although I don't know the old man's intention in saying these words, judging from the information he confided, this old gentleman is by no means very human.

In this era, knowledge has always been in the hands of a few, and even the mages in the tower may not know about the records of runes and information about the landwalkers, but now it is not abrupt to say it from the mouth of the old man. And the tone in which he addressed Her Highness the Holy Sister and the Magician Maiden sounded more like the pampering of the elders.

An old man like this, who is both knowledgeable and respectable, could not be unknown in Istalen. In El's memory, there seems to be only one person who meets the criteria.

"Master Stephen, I wonder what you mean by saying this to me?" El asked straight to the point, pretending to be calm.

"Oh, you kid's brain spins so fast. The Great Alchemist was stunned for a moment, and a smile of relief appeared on his face. "Since you can guess my identity, then I'll have something to say. ”
