Chapter 134: Elven Diary
"Whew-"
Ron blew lightly into the journal, then opened it again.
This was the fourth time he had looked through the elven diary.
This is the notebook that was previously obtained from the hidden bedroom of the slave trader Bond.
Unfortunately, it didn't get the key information about the [Water of Life] that Ron wanted from its records, but Ron would still open it from time to time and try to decipher more useful things.
Turning the title page, a specimen of a red tulip flower is impressively imprinted in front of you.
On the brown cover is a few large characters written crookedly in some kind of sap:
Kahran's Travel Diary
Ron gently turned the first page, and a faint scent of flowers came to his face.
This elven diary is made of slender willow branches, and each page is made of smooth bark and filled with delicate elven texts.
Whenever the pages of the book are turned, there will be a charming aroma coming to the nostrils,
The notes contain the story of an elven woman named Kahlan and her experiences.
From the ideas and plans at the beginning of the journey, to the people and things she encountered during the journey.
Every page is filled with tiny handwriting and images.
She uses inks of various colors and textures to record the feelings and thoughts of the elves.
Some pages are also adorned with beautiful illustrations and hand-drawn images.
These images were either the elf's travels as she passed, or the different magical and mystical creatures she witnessed.
The elves are a well-known race of immortals in the astral plane.
A healthy elf usually has a lifespan of more than 750 years before reaching the Legendary level.
They generally reach adulthood around the age of 50, and their bodies remain at the prime level until they fail.
If by the age of 700, this elf has not broken through the legend, then he will enter the old age [exhaustion stage], when her originally youthful and beautiful body will quickly age within ten years, turning into an old dragon clock.
If an elf reaches the Legendary level, his life cycle will be comparable to that of a dragon, reaching more than 3,000 years!
But the elven race is strange.
They are very difficult to kill after reaching the Legendary level, because they are born with an amazing high level of magic affinity, and their archery skills are among the top three existences of the astral race.
A legendary elf can fight a tie with a green dragon of the same rank, or defeat a white dragon of the same rank (the disgrace of the dragon clan is well deserved).
This also leads to the fact that the reason why the legendary elves disappear is often not killed by the enemy, but by suicide!
[The elven god Corellon has been working hard to improve this phenomenon]
Don't be surprised.
It is a peaceful and healing process.
Some legendary elves have said goodbye to all their families and fulfilled all their wishes.
Eventually, they will leave their place of residence (and die freely as they wish) and go to a destination that the living never know.
Ron had a serious suspicion that the tired and emotionally rich Immortals were suffering from major depression, otherwise it would be difficult to explain these phenomena.
Dragons, for example, are the same species of immortals as the elves, but they have completely different lifestyles.
The dragon basically does not change because of the thoughts of the people around him, for the five-colored dragon or the metal dragon, the most important thing is to be happy, and everything else is a passerby.
It's hard for a dragon to hang himself for love, but elves are different.
Elves have a long life of great importance for emotions and follow the ancient system of monogamy, and once their spouse dies, they choose to die alone.
All elven elders will try to avoid contact with the short-lived species.
This is because they understand the pain of parting with their friends or loved ones, and hope that the children of the elves will avoid it.
"Lifespan."
Ron shook his head, dispelling the jumbled thoughts in his mind and reaching for the first page of the journal.

Dear Mr. Diary, it's finally time to use you!
Hee-hee-hee, I made a great decision last night!
I'm going to quietly go out with Uncle Berta's expedition (crossed out here)!
Tomorrow is the annual Flying Feather Festival, and Grandma will definitely go to meet Her Majesty the Empress and offer her blessings.
We're going to sneak out of the sewers at that time.
Not. That's what it says in the plan, I hope everything goes well.
May the Crown of Angelis bless me.
Come on, Karan, you're the best!
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 February 15 [Clear]
Whew, it's finally out!
It took me three days down the sewers to Coral Harbour and a cloud shell boat before leaving Valhall.
The outside world is amazing! Hahaha!
I'm going to rest, and Uncle Berta is always staring at me nervously.
Really, am I going to run away halfway?
Come on, Karan, a better tomorrow awaits you!
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 February 19 [Yin]
Oh my God, the Empress sent a convoy to look for us, and luckily there was a stinking ditch nearby
They didn't like the smell, and neither did I, and the purple liquid that ran on it reminded me of the ooze monsters in the textbooks.
But we had no choice but to get into the stinking ditch to avoid being tracked by the guards, but luckily it worked, and the arrogant guys crossed us directly
Vomit! I feel like I'm going to throw up! I'm going to take a shower!
Come on, Karan, an exciting life of adventure awaits you, and you must not be caught back this time.
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 February 25 [Sunny]
We've arrived at Buhuo Mountain!
Roar, the volcanic rocks and lava here are truly spectacular, it's just that it's so hot here, and after a while my underwear is soaked, it's annoying.
Uncle Berta told us to be careful, he said there were a lot of red dragons living here.
Really, would a mighty elf be afraid of that kind of thing?
Hmph, don't let me see them, or you'll have to give them a taste of my magic arrows!
Come on, Karan, be sure to collect some more Flame Flowers tomorrow!
[On this page, several volcano drawings are drawn with paint, although the drawing method is immature, but it can be seen that it is very careful.] 】

New Elven Calendar 751 March 15 [Yin]
We're finally out of the Bungo Mountain!
I'm never going to come to this damn place again!
There are no red dragons here, all of them are flame humpback beasts, and we are covered in dirt.
Luckily, we met a tribe of Centaurs and traded them for some human supplies, and this soap from humans is damn (crossed out) so good!
Hee-hee-hee.
Come on, Karan, the beautiful elves can't be angry, you must laugh and play (cross-out) adventures tomorrow.
[This page is pasted with a few air-dried specimens of flame flowers.] 】

We have reached the Red Clay Heights, and Uncle Berta says that if we go any further, we will encounter human villages, so let's be careful to hide.
The empress said that humans are a bunch of big bad guys, and I don't know what they look like, so I'm looking forward to it~~~
This morning, as we continued on our way, I finally saw the beautiful peaks and lakes described in the book, as well as some rare animals, such as a male-faced sphinx and a firefox, which I had never seen before in Valhall.
In the evenings we pitched our tents and chatted about barbecue around the campfire.
I took out my lyre and played "The Voyage of Bloustie", and everyone praised me for surpassing my grandmother's playing skills.
Hey, hey, hey, how can it be so exaggerated, grandma played "Requiem" for the empress, I should be a little bit closer, right?
Well. It should be a little bit worse.
It's fun to explore life, and I hope to see more tomorrow.
Come on, Karan, overtake Grandma tomorrow!
[This page draws a picture of the elf team chatting happily around the campfire]
————————
Ron patiently watched as the elven girl shared the joy of her trip in her diary, and then slowly turned the next page.
The little blood stains on the diary seem to indicate a twist of fate.
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 April 1 [Heavy Rain]
I'm probably going to die.
We were confronted with an elderly red dragon, a damned dragon.
Uncle Berta, Aunt Kades, and Sister Sivas, who has been nagging. They were torn apart in front of me.
I was hidden in a corner of the rock by Uncle Berta, but the red dragon still smelled and found me.
It threw me off a cliff, and I only had one hand to move now, probably all over my body
Her Majesty is right when she says that we shouldn't have come out, maybe
(Followed by some meaningless strokes, it can be seen that the recorder has fallen into a state of unconsciousness at the time)

Perhaps it was the blessing of Angres's crown that I was rescued by a passing human teenager.
He said that his name was Burke, that he was an orphan, and that he was going to collect herbs.
He said it was the first time he had seen a spirit.
This human looks no different from a normal elf, except that the ears are a little rounder.
[Ron saw this and thought about it carefully.] If there is no difference between him and the elf, then the appearance of this young man must be extraordinary! Because every elf can be called perfect in appearance, and the fact that a human can compare to an elf is a compliment in itself. 】
I'm now recuperating in his home, and Burke says he lives alone in the forest, occasionally going to a nearby town to sell herbs to make ends meet.
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 April 18 [Clear]
Today both arms can finally move, I refused Burke's request to feed, the other day my arm was inconvenient, now that my arm is better, how can people feed me like a child.
Burke looked disappointed.
————————
New Elven Calendar 751 April 20 [Light Rain]
Today my legs seemed to be able to move, and Burke made a wooden stool on wheels and pushed me out to breathe.
But those landscapes that attracted my attention in the past are now like a dagger, deeply inserted in my heart.
I cried and screamed as I went home, and Burke watched me helplessly as I lay on his bed.
When I woke up tonight, I found him asleep in a chair, covered with thin clothes that could not stop the cold of the light rain, and he was shivering from the cold.
Humanity doesn't seem to be as bad as the Empress says.

New Elven Calendar 751 April 27 [Yin]
I've been waking up from nightmares lately, and when I close my eyes, I think of Uncle Berta and the rest of the team's faces.
I thought that in a few days, I should take the initiative to go back and ask the queen for my guilt.
All this disaster was due to my curiosity, or Uncle Berta would have been preparing to wait until winter to set out.
It's all because of me, and it's all my fault
[This page has obvious traces of being soaked in water]

New Elven Calendar 751 May 5 [Sunny]
Under Burke's careful care, my injuries were almost healed.
I decided to leave for Valhall tomorrow.
Before I set off, I will leave all the valuable items to this kind human being, maybe it will make his life a little better.
[The back of a teenager cooking is drawn at the bottom of this page, and he looks thin.] 】
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 May 7 [Clear]
I didn't leave, I stayed in this cabin.
I don't know why, but when I see Burke crying and holding me back, I feel sad.
I decided to stay here a little longer and teach Burke about magic before leaving.
I could see the look of envy in his eyes when I unleashed the Sky Dance.
Burke was very happy and made several dishes in the evening that I hadn't eaten and it was delicious.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 May 9 [Yin]
It took me two full days of world to teach Burke to meditate.
Burke's magical aptitude was weak, but luckily he was able to barely get into a meditative state, otherwise I really don't know how to face his disappointed eyes.
I'll leave here when he learns how to do magic.
[An image of an emaciated teenager sitting cross-legged is drawn below.] 】

New Elven Calendar 751 May 22 [Sunny]
Burke had finally learned his first magic trick, and he should now be considered a magic apprentice.
Whew, it's not easy.
However, he would often go out to collect herbs and bring me some sweet wild fruits, which I had never seen in Valhall.
I'm a little homesick.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 May 23 [Sunny]
Burke seemed to see what I was thinking, and he said that he could dig up as many herbs as he could for the next few days and sell them for money, and then hire a carriage to take me back.
It's strange, can this human be mind-reading?
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 May 26 [Sunny]
Today was the first time I walked out of my room and followed Burke deep into the jungle to collect medicine.
He's so stupid, many herbs can't be seen under his feet, or I only found out about it when I reminded him, hehe.
[The picture of a blonde teenager touching the back of his head and smirking is drawn at the bottom by the owner of the diary]

New Elven Calendar 751 June 15 [Sunny]
Today Burke said that he would go to the town to sell the grassland to-day, and that this time the money should be enough to buy a wildebeest to take me home.
I don't really want to get out of here, but I miss my grandmother a little.
What am I going to do?
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 June 23 [Sunny]
After so many days, the wildebeest carriage was finally delivered here.
I waited for the grooms to leave before I came out of the room.
It could be seen that Burke was in a bad mood.
Me too.
He smiled and handed me the reins, saying that he would leave tomorrow and take me home.
But Her Majesty the Empress had said that Valhar was not allowed to see humans, and that if he knew, he would have been shot into a sieve by the convoys.
Hey, what should I do.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 June 24 [Sunny]
I've decided, I'm going to stay here.
Oh my God, I must be crazy to be reluctant to let this person (cross out) the place.
When Burke heard the news, he excitedly rushed over to pick me up and spun me around for many times, only to turn himself unconscious.
Hee-hee, he's so silly with a smile.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 July 14 [Clear]
I've been teaching Burke elven writing and journaling lately, because a lot of natural magic has to be made in elven script.
He's so stupid, it takes him half a day to learn how to write an elven script! I was in the Elven Forest for a year, but I learned six ancient languages at the same time!
Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry, it's fun to watch him study seriously.
Every day, he went up the mountain to pick a big bowl of sour bezoars for me, and when he was studying hard, I sat next to him and ate them, and I don't know where he picked them, they were so sweet.
When you get home, be sure to bring some for grandma.
But when will you go home?
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 July 26 [Sunny]
Burke took me to his secret base as a child: an ice-blue lake!
The lake is surrounded by colorful flowers, and it was the first time I saw so many flowers, it was a sea of flowers!
The two of us chased and frolicked among the flowers, and when we were tired of playing, we lay down on the spot and felt the fragrance of the flowers and plants.
It's just that this guy Burke doesn't know why he has to hold my hand, doesn't he feel hot?
Anyway, I think it's so hot, Burke says my ears are red.
Damn, didn't he know that red ears were a curse word in Elven language!
At night I punished him for not sleeping with me, even though he climbed into bed in the middle of the night
There's no way, there's just one bed in this cabin, just let him squeeze in.
As for me. I'm used to it.
[A sea of flowers is drawn at the bottom, and several dried petals of different colors are glued to the page]

We went to the lake again, and it was amazing that the lake turned fiery red today!
It was a very relaxing and happy day, and this lake is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen in my life, and I will always remember this place and be grateful to have such a wonderful human friend to share this beauty with me.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 751 August 15 [Sunny]
Burke confessed to me today, he took me to the lake, got down on one knee with a large handful of dates, and said something that will always accompany me.
Really, how can there be a person who gives away Yan Jujube when he confesses!
But my mind was chaotic at the time, and I didn't know what was going on, so I agreed to him
Maybe it's the smell of him that reassures me.
Good night, Mr. Diary, and I wish you a good dream as well.

The following diary is the daily life of the human boy Burke and the elven girl Karan while learning magic and exploring.
Ron quickly flipped through the nearly hundreds of pages of daily records.
He had studied this paragraph word by word, but there was nothing else to gain except for being shown affection.
Through this thick diary, it can be clearly felt that the relationship between the two has become deeper and deeper during this adventure, so that at the end, the elf girl Kahlan no longer wants to go home.
"Whoa-la-"
Pages and pages of notes were flipped through quickly, words and pictures flashing through Ron's eyes
It wasn't until he turned to the penultimate page of the journal that Ron stopped.
——————————
New Elven Calendar 754 March 10 [Sunny]
I'm probably going to be a mom.
I could clearly feel a new breath of life in my stomach.
Burke was also very happy, he muttered something every day, and from time to time he suddenly gave me a hug,
Really, they are all people who want to be fathers, and they are not afraid of hurting their children.
Baby, when you come to this world, your mother must take you to take a good look at this world and teach you magic and elven archery.
Not. Your father can teach you herbs and carpentry (smiley).
When you grow up, we will fly back to Valhar together to see your grandmother, who will bless your birth as well.
By the way, I have to bring my father with me, his progress in learning magic is getting slower and slower, and he hasn't even learned the art of dancing in the sky.
It's not too early, I have to leave early tomorrow, Burke said that he would go to the royal capital to ask the best doctor to deliver for me, what a fool, the child of the elf clan will take at least two years to be born.
But seeing his hurried look, I agreed to him.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
I love you.
———————————
Turning the page leads to the end of the diary.
Ron gently flipped the last page, and a red leaf was sandwiched at the end of the paper, completely different from the other materials.
There is no written record on it, but a stroke made up of a piece of blood.
To ordinary people, this is just like a child's graffiti.
But Ron recognized it at a glance that it was the long-lost Ancient Asian Script.
If Ron hadn't studied the Dragon's Legacy, he wouldn't have recognized the words written on it.
He frowned, and read out the words in elven blood word by word.
"Save my child!"
Syllable!
The journal was closed by the dragon's claws, and Ron looked up at the window, lost in thought.
"Red Dragon"
Today is two chapters of updates combined, about 6000 words.
Update three chapters tomorrow, 8500 words!
After so long, Ron is finally going to go out for a walk,
The Red Heights and the Elven Forest will have a lot of battles with other races and gods, and Ron's journey has just begun~~
Finally, ask for a ticket~~~~

Everyone in the comment area can say more about your opinions, such as the plot, characters, etc., I will read every comment, and I can learn from experience and improve if you talk more. 】
