"I see......" Hearing this, Alan understood something, "Then why you and your mother are here......"

"Yes, we managed to get rid of the necromancy's tracking, and we finally got a clue while resting and going from house to house in Krivari City...... The Bladeless Sword is hidden around the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "Originally, we were just going to sneak in to try to find its traces, but we didn't expect this long-abandoned site to be reactivated, and it was very dangerous...... Of course, what we didn't expect was that we met Mr. Adrian on the way to the central point, and he seemed to be waiting for us here...... He told us that you were here, that you were in a very dangerous situation, and lent us Arthur...... And then, as you just saw. ”

"Mr. Adrian, he ...... It's really like a god......" Now when I think of this old man, Allen has some mixed feelings.

Ever since Alan learned that he had attempted to kill Arn Burresto, the label "murderer" had been attached to him and could no longer be removed...... Although this old man had helped them through difficulties many times, at the same time, many things about him had become more and more mysterious, and Alan had never imagined that this old man who had known them for so many years would hide so many things from them...... A lot of what happened to his parents and him so far had something to do with him, and it made Alan somewhat uneasy.

Alan suddenly felt as if something had disappeared from his mind...... And there is also a delusion, as if he does not really understand this old man until today.

However, Alan also somewhat understood why old Audrian seemed very excited and nervous at the mention of Burestu, and also understood why, when talking about Burestu, the old man insisted that Burestu was dead.

Yes, judging from Burestu's recollections, he was indeed killed by old Adrian, but he didn't know why he came back to life......

And what made Alan even more concerned was the description of his father by Burrestu...... From the moment he opened his eyes and saw old Adrian, the old man was what he was now......

"What kind of power is this...... Pure longevity, or immortality?" Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help frowning, sweating a little on his forehead, "And it seems that it will be passed on to his own children?"

"What's the matter, Alan, have you been injured in the battle before?" asked Marianne, who was on the sidelines, noticing that his face was a little wrong.

"It's nothing, Mommy......" said Allen, "just remembering something......"

"What?" asked Tim as well.

"Uh...... You may not know about it...... "Allen said, "but Mr. Audrian is the father of Arne Burresto. ”

"Oh!" Tim and Marianne really didn't know, and after hearing the news, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked in unison, "Who told you that?"

"It was Brestus himself...... This happened before you came to save me. ”

"That's interesting...... Tim shook his head slightly, "he never told us about his personal affairs, and we didn't have time to ask about it. ”

"Then ......" Alan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth with some difficulty, "We...... Isn't there a little bit of trust in him too much?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.

Alan really wanted to regain his old sense of trust in old Adrian, but what happened now made him have to be careful, for fear that if he took the wrong step, he would fall into a trap from which he could never recover.

"Or maybe we should ask him for some clarification?" Alan asked again a moment later, "and he might explain something to us......

"No......" but then Tim shook his head, "You need to try to see the essence of a person, Alan." ”

"What?" Alan didn't understand.

"A lot of times that's how things ......," says Tim, "and people are too complex animals...... Due to some special reasons or coincidences, it is easy to have some misunderstandings, which will greatly reduce your impression of a person...... So what choice do you make?"

Alan was silent.

"Of course, you can choose to stay away from it, and it will be a lot less troublesome...... But there's another possibility—you're going to lose a hard-earned friend...... Tim continued, "and you'll probably figure it out sooner or later...... The world is constantly changing, and so are people, and your perception of a person may change as things keep happening...... However, the essence is difficult to change, because it is something that has been deeply imprinted in a person's bones since childhood, and inadvertent words and deeds will say a lot about it......"

"You've known each other for years, haven't you?" said Tim, abruptly, "and I can tell from the tone in which he mentions you, you're quite familiar. ”

"Already...... It's been seven years. Allen said.

"Oh!" said Tim, "that's been a long time...... At least I've been with him longer than I've ever been. ”

Alan vaguely understood something.

"So, think about what happened between you and come up with your own answer. Tim said.

"I understand...... Hearing this, Alan suddenly felt some of the gloom in his heart being dispelled, and the things that disappeared from his heart just now came back, "So...... I would like to believe Mr. Audrian......"

Tim looked at him quietly.

"I believe that everything he did, including the things he didn't want people to know, had some reason or a reason. Allen said.

"Hmm. Tim nodded approvingly, "I haven't been with him as long as you, but so have I." ”

"Ah...... That's right!" Tim seemed to suddenly remember something, looked around, and asked, "Is this around here...... What's going on?"

They were now walking near the forest where they had fought the werewolves before.

Oh no, it's a clearing now......

"She did it...... Allen said, looking at Cynthia, "and she saved us when we were besieged by werewolves...... The new element 'void' created by fusing the five elements makes all living objects meaningless in front of it......"

"A fusion of the five elements......" Tim looked at Cynthia thoughtfully, "this is really ...... What an unbelievable coincidence......"

"What coincidence?"

"Do you know why the wand, one of the four relics, is called the 'Staff of Void'?" asked Tim.

"Ah......" Alan seemed to understand a little when he heard this.

"Yes......" said Tim, "that wand is the property of Sherin Lezbel......
