Chapter Seventy-Eight: After a Long Absence and Failure to Meet Again

"What are you talking about......" Hearing this, Alan was instantly stunned in place, and did not react for a long time, "Mr. Audrian...... Passed away?"

"It's a pity, I've done my best......," Professor Watson said, "but no one can stop this life, sickness, and death, and even the most brilliant healer can't keep this dying vitality......

It wasn't because of illness, it wasn't because of injury, it was still a natural death......

"How is this possible!" Alan suddenly felt uncontrollable emotionally, and wanted to say something but felt like a fish in his throat: "He ......"

Old Adrian knew that he had a elven root in his body, so he couldn't believe that Old Adrian, who had an immortal body, would die suddenly, and in the most natural way......

But the silence of Professor Watson and others told him that all this was true.

"Please come with me. Professor Watson said. Originally, he wanted to take Alan and the others to the auditorium, but now he turned a corner and came to the first floor of the conference room.

The door was opened, and the entire house had been transformed into a mourning hall.

Directly opposite Allen's altar was a crystal coffin, surrounded by a circle of white candles, which had now burned out.

"It's the highest courtesy we can do. "He's an amazing man...... Although we have only been together for a short time, everyone has seen everything he has done for us, and we respect him from the bottom of our hearts. ”

Eren slowly walked to the crystal coffin as if he had lost his soul.

Lying inside was old Adrian...... His hair and beard were clearly well groomed, not as messy as before, but still gray, the cane that was inseparable from him was still firmly held in his hand and placed on his chest, and his eyes were closed and he looked serene, as if he were asleep, but his chest no longer rose or fell......

It wasn't until Alan saw all this with his own eyes that he dared to believe that the elder Adrian had really died......

Looking at this familiar and kind face, Allen's tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes...... All that came to his mind now was the old man's tough and upright back, the look on his face when he told him and Riel about life, and the smile of relief when he saw them make the right choice...... Although he knew that people would eventually die, and he had the consciousness to face life and death, he thought that he would never see this person with him again

Standing in front of them for many years, his tears flowed uncontrollably.

Although Riel didn't say anything, he had been standing silently and crying for a long time.

For them, this old man is like their grandfather, teaching them the principles of life, always ringing the alarm bell for them, and preventing them from going astray.

After dozens of days, Alan had a lot to tell old Adrian...... This includes how they got the Staff of Void, what they encountered in Glenn Crown, how they crossed paths with Ashley Hill, and a series of accidents that occurred when they retrieved the Ring of Eternity...... Old Adrian had always told them about his adventures, and this time they were finally able to tell him about it, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was a different ending......

After a long absence, they failed to meet again.

"Please mourn...... We have done our best to keep the body as it is. "According to his will, his body will be cremated after you have seen him for the last time." ”

Alan was a little reluctant, grabbing the corner of the coffin and not wanting to let go.

"Please respect the wishes of the deceased. With that, Professor Watson beckoned a few men to carry the coffin out.

Alan was stunned for a long time before moving out of the door with heavy steps.

Old Adrian's body was placed on a high platform made of dry wood, and a few torches were thrown into it, and in an instant the fire burned and lit up the night sky.

Alan didn't know how long the fire had been burning, only that by the time it was finally extinguished, it was already dark. The people in the square had mostly dispersed, and Frey and Cynthia had already found a place to rest, leaving only Professor Watson, Riel, Arthur, and him in the entire square.

"If you can, he wants you to take him back to the Valley of Origin. Professor Watson handed him a small urn, "He also said, "I hope you can keep moving forward and never look back." ”

Hearing these words, Alan finally felt better, and understood the heavy responsibility that old Audrian placed on them...... Although he could not witness them destroy the Eye or see his children saved, he did not care because he believed that they would succeed.

"I made a note of it!" Alan took the urn and hugged it tightly in his arms.

"Then go back to your room and rest. Professor Watson said, "It's really hard to be out and about for so long

Bitter. Your room is always reserved for you. ”

"Thank you. "But before I do that, I have one more thing to ask you. ”

"What?"

"Excuse me, was there anything unusual about Mr. Audrian's health before he died?" asked Allen, the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Why, you also think something is wrong, don't you?" Professor Watson frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before he said, "It's really a bit unusual to say something...... He looked a little overworked, for he had taken over the whole castle since you were gone, and had been working sleepless for days on end, so that by the time he fell, he was too weak to speak. But what strikes me as strange is that he ages at an astonishing rate, as if he was dozens of years old overnight...... When I diagnosed him, I found that his life force was running out at a rapid pace, for example, if he had been a young and vigorous young man one day before, he would have become an old man a day later...... At first I thought someone was plotting against him with some strange magic, but he told me not to worry, saying it was normal......"

"Normal?" Alan was stunned, "Did he say it himself?"

"Yes. Professor Watson nodded, "Although he is very weak, I am sure that he is still conscious, and he is not talking nonsense." ”

Alan was silent for a long time.

Professor Watson's description made him understand something...... For a long time, the thing that old Adrian relied on to survive in the world was the elven root given to him by the elves, which could prevent the body from aging and make people stay in that moment forever, and the rapid passage of this vitality was like the elven root in his body disappeared......

"Did someone take his elven root?" Alan thought. There are so many strangers from outside the castle that if anyone knew about the elven roots, they might indeed poison him.

However, he didn't seem surprised that he would grow old or even die, as if he had known about it for a long time......

"Could it be...... Is it because of the Demon Eye?" Thinking of the Sun Tree Elf's words, Alan couldn't help but guess again, "The power of the Demon Eye this time is very powerful, and it can instantly incapacitate the elf...... Could it be that Bresto used it to unleash some strange magic...... Magical ...... that can have a huge impact on elves"
