Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 7 The Origin of the Elves
"Forbidden books!" Old Adrian couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, and his face became a little ugly, "Where did she get it!?"
"Uh......" Alan was a little overwhelmed by old Adrian's emotions, and paused a little to think about how to explain it to him.
But the old man couldn't seem to wait any longer: "You're going to find it!?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood!" Seeing that old Adrian was a little angry, Alan quickly explained, "We have never forgotten your warning...... Uh, that book is its own ......"
"It showed up?" Old Adrian was stunned when he heard this, then bowed his head and was silent for a long time, and said, "You tell me the general situation of the night." ”
"Okay. Alan thought back for a moment and said, "Since it was the middle of the first month, almost all the students in the school had gone to Krivari City, so the campus was very deserted. I couldn't go out because of a foot injury, so I had to stay in my room to recuperate. It was almost eight o'clock that night when I was attracted by the starlight outside the window and went to the square, where she was also looking at the stars. The two of us talked for a while, and when she got under the tree of immortality, she realized that the book was already there......"
"Well......" Old Adrian nodded, thoughtfully, and then asked, "It's a little rude, but I still have to ask, what did you all talk about?"
"Well, it's not anything special, it's just something about her life and her childhood, and how she got to Winslow's house, etc......"
"Is this the kind of topic?" said old Adrian, who was a little surprised, and groaned a little, "then...... Cynthia Winslow, is there anything special about this little girl's background?"
"I don't know if that's anything special...... Uh......," said Allen, "she was abandoned by her parents shortly after she was born, and she ...... Well...... The Immortal Tree Elf said that her original surname was Lezbel. ”
"Ledsbell?" called out old Adrian softly, his brow furrowed slightly, "she's actually a child of the Ledsbels!"
"Yes, at first she didn't believe it herself...... "but then Frost said she was supposed to be a descendant of Sherlyn Lezbel." ”
"Heh, it seems that the wound left by Xue Lin's red lightning is still faintly painful. Old Adrian burst out laughing.
"Yes, Frost does seem to hate Cynthia quite a bit, and had planned to come to Alyssa for revenge as soon as she took Alyssa's body. ”
They were bitter rivals, at first close friends and rivals, until Frost turned his back on the right path. "Old Adrian was a little excited," I heard that it was Sherlyn who first discovered that Frost had gone astray, and finally drove her to a dead end. ”
"Well, it does. ”
"But then ......" The excitement on Old Adrian's face disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly fell into deep thought again, and then stared at Alan with a little surprise for a long time, then at Riel, and muttered, "What's going on...... Three of them have already arrived, is the last one already in the school......"
"Three of them and...... The last one?" Alan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized that old Adrian probably knew far more than he had imagined.
"History is really strikingly similar...... After all this time, the few of you are together again......" Old Adrian looked thoughtful and a little worried, "is this just a wonderful coincidence...... Or rather...... That book......"
Hearing this, Alan suddenly remembered another very important question, so he immediately asked, "Mr. Adrian, may I ask, do you know anything about me and Rare......
Alan had wanted to ask for a long time. On the first day he entered the school, the Immortal Tree said a lot of inexplicable things to him, and also told them explicitly, "Be careful of the fifth person". At first, he was just confused, and it wasn't until later that he vaguely guessed from Frost's words that he, Riel, and Frey were also targets of Frost's determination to take revenge, and in connection with what the Immortal Tree had said earlier, that is, they were supposed to be descendants of the four Guardians in the first place...... Thinking of the special magical nature in his body, the boiling physique on Rare's body, and even the mysterious whereabouts of his parents, all signs indicate that their identities may indeed be very special. But why didn't Mr. and Mrs. Connor tell them...... Alan couldn't figure it out. He had been going to ask Mr. Connor about it, but now old Adrian sounded as if he knew who they were......
But old Adrian didn't seem to intend to say anything, but smiled, shook his head, and said, "Let time tell you...... Now I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong...... Maybe I've been mistaken all along. ”
Alan didn't understand, and wanted to ask further, but when he saw that old Adrian had turned away, he remained silent.
"Then again......" said old Adrian with a smile again, "it seems that this has nothing to do with the topic we originally wanted to discuss." ”
"Ah......h
"But I've told you pretty much everything about the elves, but only the last and most important thing remains...... That's where they came from. Old Adrian sat down again, and returned to his former calm appearance, "Although there is no definite evidence for what I said next, it is something that I have always believed...... As I told you before, they can understand our language and communicate with humans normally. It is said that the first person to have a normal and long communication with the elves learned from them that they did not know where they came from, but when they became conscious, they realized that they were already like this, that they had human memories, but that they did not age, Grow and die like this, no matter how long it has been, they don't know who gave them these strange abilities, but they know how to use them, and they want to help humanity from the bottom of their hearts, they are very large, they usually sleep in the bodies of some plants, and they know exactly what they want to express without face-to-face communication. ”
"Could it be ......" Alan couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this.
"Did you think of something?" said old Adrian with a laugh, "if there is any speculation, let me hear it." ”
"Hmm......" Alan said tentatively, hesitating slightly, "I just find these traits interesting for them...... Having human-like limbs, being able to communicate with people smoothly, being naturally close to humans, etc., these traits suggest that they may have been originally human, but they were influenced by some kind of dark magic to become what they are now, uh...... Yes, I think they're magically created, like gnomes or giants......"
"Hah! you guessed wrong this time, or rather, only half right!" said old Adrian, slapping his thigh, and laughing, "because they are both the product of magic and the natural creation, and it can be said that man created them as well as a masterpiece of nature!"
"Uh......" Alan was a little confused by Old Adrian's words.
"Hmm...... Let me tell you that...... No one deliberately used magic to create them, because the magic that leaked out of the spell and the unintentional loss of people could have enough effect on the soul, and as time went on, the elves appeared in such a natural way......" said old Adrian, "can you understand that?"
"I see...... It was the magic of all the people on this continent who inadvertently created the elves together!" Alan suddenly realized, and then exclaimed, "That's true! Frost has proved that humans do have souls, and all the characteristics of elves have a lot to do with people!"
"That's right. But I still want to praise you for your observation, because you got one thing right...... It does have something to do with magic!" said old Adrian.
"But......" Alan asked after a moment's thought, "if they are so large, why are they rarely seen? I've only seen ......them once when I've grown so big."
"Because they hate humans now, and hide themselves!" said old Adrian, smiling, "they usually sleep in plants, and only occasionally come out in the dead of night to breathe." However, it is not difficult to identify which plants have elves in them, because they usually leave a cousin to help them cope with the distractions of the outside world when they sleep......"
"Well, the immortal tree elf Heplus said the same thing......" Alan just nodded and wanted to say this, but the next second he was nervous: "Wait...... Plant...... Personality of the table!"
"In other words......" Alan looked at Riel.
Riel was looking at him, too, "Anna!"
"And Lilith!"
