"No...... To be precise, it is it that has finally surfaced. Tim said and then changed his tune.

"Finally?"

"Yes...... Like us, Béresto began the search for the relics a long time ago. Tim recalled, "In the third year of the investigation, your mother and I followed the clues all the way to the merman's gathering area...... It is the only remaining activity area of the merman on the Hepu continent, and it is the living area specially left for them by the four guardians back then, and it is expressly forbidden for humans and other creatures to invade without authorization...... But when we got there, we found that there were werewolves on the shore. ”

"I've seen it in books. "It was a big lake called the 'Luminous Lake,' about 700 kilometres west of Krivari. ”

"That's right, the name 'Glow-in-the-Dark Lake' is also named after the shark people who live there...... Because the skin of the mermaids is very special, they will reflect the moonlight at night, and when they are active underwater, they will produce an unusually beautiful streamer. ”

"I see......"

"At first, I thought that the werewolves might just be looking for a place to perch and stumble there, so I wanted to wait for them to leave before going to negotiate with the mermen, but unexpectedly, a few days later, another necromancer suddenly came and tried to drain the lake with magic...... Then we realized that they had come for other purposes. Tim continued.

"Did they succeed?" asked Allen.

"Don't worry, legend has it that the lake is guarded by the spirit of the lake, and with the protective magic set by the guardian clan, it will not be so easy to break. "But they're causing us a lot of trouble...... Although they did not return, their actions aroused the wrath of the mermen, so that anyone who came near the lake was regarded as an enemy by the mermen, and they sent their warriors to garrison the shore...... Your mother and I had no choice but to give up the Staff of Void. ”

"Yes, the book also says that mermaids can leave the water body for activities, but there is a time limit, and they have to return to the water every once in a while. ”

"But that's not the most troublesome...... Two years later, on the way to the Suntree, we spotted them again...... "Tim said, "unlike the last time, this time the werewolves were greatly numerous, and as if they had been rigorously trained, they acted without hesitation and quietly, and did not have the slightest intention of harassing them when they passed near several towns...... It's like an army...... It was also from that time that we began a confrontation with them that lasted for almost ten years......"

"I can feel that someone behind them is directing them......" said Tim after a moment of silence, "when to follow us, when to attack us, and when to pretend not to notice us...... That's a strategic level thing, and the IQ of the werewolves is definitely not up to that level...... Moreover, those necromancys are extremely difficult to deal with, ordinary magic cannot hurt them in the slightest, and even sealing magic cannot help them...... I don't know what they're made of, but in the course of the confrontation, I discovered that of all known magic, only my light elemental magic can completely destroy them......"

"Ah...... That's right......" Alan suddenly remembered something when he heard this, and stopped talking, "That...... Daddy......"

"What?"

"Can you teach me...... Alan hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to speak, "You know, I don't have anyone around me who can teach me this...... Although the Immortal Tree told me about this magical nature, until now, I have only used two of them......"

"Ah......" Tim couldn't help but pat his head when he heard this, looking a little annoyed, "I'm probably too busy to faint, I forgot all about such an important thing......"

"Indeed...... It's up to me to teach you this......" Tim looked at Alan, "just like your grandfather taught me......"

"Is Grandpa also like this?" Although they had never met, when they mentioned their grandfather, Alan couldn't help but feel a little cordial.

"No, he doesn't show that kind of physique...... But as the previous head of the family, he knew the secrets of our family and held the magic books left by his ancestors. "It seems like the first time in our family that this kind of constitution has appeared in two generations in a row......

"So he's ...... now Are you still alive?" Alan asked again.

"It's a pity...... He died before you were born......" said Tim, "and our family generally lives a much shorter life than other families...... It is normal for people in other families to live to be 70 or 80 years old, but people in our family generally only live for 50 to 60 years......"

"Why ......" Allen's heart tightened, and he immediately remembered that his father was now over forty years old.

"I don't know......" Tim thought suddenly, "but I have some guesses......"

"Is it ......?"

"Hmm...... Heaven is fair, and whatever is given to you will take something from you......," said Tim, "I can feel that while using this special magic, my life force is also lost...... Probably this is the price you have to pay for having this kind of physique......"

"Vitality!" Alan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and looked at the sleeping Cynthia, "'Void'...... Cynthia, she had the same experience!"

"Oh, it seems...... That's really it......" Tim was a little surprised, "no wonder my father told me again and again that I couldn't use this power without it...... Although he didn't know why, the words of the ancestors were all justified......"

"Light Element...... What the hell is this......" Alan couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm...... If I had to describe it in one sentence...... "Tim thought for a moment, "giving birth to all things and embracing all things...... That's probably it......"

"Giving birth and ...... Inclusive ......" Alan thought.

"That's right...... Speaking ......," Tim suddenly changed his words, "since no one taught you, where did you learn this?"

"Hey......" Alan smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, and was quite proud, "One of them was a ...... I created myself unintentionally"

"Yo! that's rare......," Tim was a little surprised when he heard this, "the new magic you've invented yourself is still about that...... How did it work, and what did you name it?"

"This ...... I haven't decided on a name yet...... As for the effect......" Alan scratched his head, "I can't tell...... It's probably a person who can lose his mind and return to normal...... Hmmm......"

"Oh, oh...... I guess I understand......" Tim nodded, "What about the other one?"

"The other ......," Alan put away his smile and became serious, "I saw it by chance from a book that suddenly appeared next to me...... A strange magic book......"
