Chapter 204 Longevity Friend
Winter has arrived, and the earth is covered with white snow.
Between the mountains in the Kula region of the northern countries, two cloaked figures walked through the heavy snow.
The biting cold and the inaccessible area made traveling very dangerous, but the two of them acted unhurriedly, as calmly as if they were taking a walk in the afternoon.
They had no dialogue, no communication throughout the whole process, they just walked quietly and aimlessly on the snow until the snow stopped and the sun rose high.
"This place seems to have been here just now."
Looking at the footprints in front of the snow that were not covered by new snow, one of them stopped.
“Yes, you have circled three times.”
“Won’t you remind me?”
The other person was silent for a moment and then raised his head slightly, symbolizing the demon clan The horns drew an arc in the air with his movements, and there was no expression on the protruding face.
"According to my understanding, the memory of elves should be able to achieve photographic memory."
"Photographic memory does not mean a strong sense of direction, especially in a place like this where everything is white."
The person who spoke first took off his hood, revealing long black hair and fair skin, with clear and bright brown eyes. His delicate and handsome appearance and a pair of pointed ears indicated his identity as an elf.
“I agree to follow you just because I can use it when needed. I am somewhat self-conscious as a tool, Shorahat.”
Sulahat obediently walked to the front and led the way, his tone Insipid, "You can use future vision by yourself."
"If you use that kind of thing too much, your feelings will become more and more indifferent. Only you demons can use it at will."
Starting from Luke After traveling around the continent, future vision is rarely used by him. That kind of magic can bring people closer to God's perspective. Although it is powerful, it is also scary.
As for Shorahat, he followed Luke shortly after he set off. Although he had not considered killing him directly at first, he would definitely be ready to escape if the Omniscient One appeared.
Furthermore, killing him might also be part of his plan, so Luke simply ignored this follower and only communicated briefly when necessary.
Following the footsteps of the navigation, the unchanging snow scene gradually faded away, and the traces of roads and humans gradually increased. Until the edge was shrouded by the barrier, Shorahat stopped and disappeared in place.
Looking at the familiar barrier, Luke showed a look of nostalgia. The last time he came here was more than thirty years ago. I wonder if that old friend is dead.
......
In the wars between the countries in the past few years, the war swept across the entire continent, and the villages in the Kula region were one of the few places that were not affected by the war.
The guardian of the village, the dwarf called Grandpa Foer is very powerful and has been protecting this place for more than a hundred years. The powerful power and the barrier set up by an unknown magician have gradually transformed this place into a paradise.
The dwarf stationed at the entrance of the village closed his eyes tightly. The frail old man looked very deceptive, but as long as he had malicious intentions, he would be fatally struck by the powerful dwarf warrior.
“Long time no see, Foer.”
The dwarf’s closed eyes narrowed and he asked doubtfully: “Who are you?”
“To me Are you still using this move?”
Shua——
A kick that was too fast to be seen came, but was avoided by the elf who was well prepared.
After the first blow failed, the dwarf raised his heavy long sword and struck Luke's head with thunderous force. He used his feet simultaneously to kick the elf's crotch to the vital part.
Crack——
The scaly defensive magic appeared, blocking the dwarf's attack among the lightning and flint. Although it made a shattering sound, it still dutifully protected its master.
Several magic circles have surrounded Foer, and the attack magic compressed to the limit reveals a dangerous light.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Foer put away his weapon, "You haven't retreated at all, Luke. If it were other magicians, they would have been defeated at such a close range from me."
< br>"After all, the physical potential of elves should not be underestimated." Luke lifted the magic, with an indescribable helplessness in his eyes.
"I'm not discriminating against your fighting style, but can you please not use it on me."
"Fighting is all about efficiency. The head, throat, eyes, heart, and crotch are all Weaknesses, do you expect the enemy not to attack these places?"
"Even if you don't think I am a friend, you don't think of me as an enemy."
"You are a friend. ”
Foer put down the sword in his hand and returned to his original position, regaining his frail appearance, and said: "But friends now may not become enemies in the future. The correct way of thinking is to always take various countermeasures."
Hearing this, Luke lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded with deep approval.
"You are right, have you figured out any measures to counter me?"
The tough-tongued dwarf was silent for a moment and changed the subject.
"Now shouldn't be the time for you to come back, why did you come here suddenly?"
Every fifty years, Luke will pass through here and return to the central countries. He knows it, but It's not the time yet, it will probably take another twenty years.
"I want to check something I care about a little bit, so I came to see you by the way."
Luke glanced at the dwarf who was already extremely old, and sighed secretly.
There is also a difference between immortal species and immortal species. The average life span of dwarves is only three hundred years old. Foer has exceeded this number. One more day of life is a day of gain.
But looking at the way he attacks his sword, he can still withstand it for a long time.
"I feel relieved to see that you are still so energetic."
Foer closed his eyes, "It's hard to say. I haven't been feeling very well recently, and I may not be able to protect this place anymore."
"Can you help take care of the village?"
It was an agreement between Foer and his wife to protect the village. After his wife passed away, he has been sitting at the entrance of the village all day and night, with the wind and rain constantly blowing. More than a hundred years have passed.
The intersection of two people who both choose humans as their companions is the beginning of their friendship.
After thinking for a moment, Luke shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I won't stay in one place. This is your agreement, not mine."
Foer snorted coldly, "Don't Face it.
"That's fine, I don't want anyone else to help fulfill the agreement." "The agreement..."
Lu Ke touched the small bottle around his neck.
The people he valued all left with a smile, without giving him a long-term agreement, so after they left, he wandered around like a wandering soul without a foundation.
In the past few years, he has traveled almost all over the continent, climbed over mountains, crossed seas, visited the ruins of the unified empire, and descended into endless mazes, but he has never found a landing point.
Fortunately, I have finally done something recently...
The arrival of Luke made the village livelier than usual. After all, he was the magician who set up a barrier for the village during the war. Here There is also a statue of him.
The older generation in the village were very enthusiastic towards this benefactor, providing free accommodation and food, and taking care of whatever delicious food and drinks they had on the table. Their attitude was particularly respectful.
The children were particularly surprised by their parents' anomaly, and they also became curious about this guest. A few of them boldly approached Luke, but were immediately pulled back by their parents and beaten until they cried for father and mother. Look, It makes other children and animals scatter.
There were some exceptions. Some villagers took their children to wander around and hesitantly asked Luke if he could teach their children magic, but Luke politely refused.
He won't stay here long, he just wants to meet old friends and replenish supplies.
After chatting with Foer for two or three months, he left the village and continued his journey.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to help protect the village. If you feel you can’t find your place, there are also vacant houses in the village.”
Facing his friend's farewell, Luke did not look back, but just waved to him with his back turned.
......
Fulillian never thought that she would encounter such a thing.
While searching for something, she saw a human cub lost in the forest. She was just trying to help, but she was suddenly blackmailed.
She clearly gave him directions, but the child insisted that he didn't know the way and begged her pitifully to take him back.
Looking at the particularly well-behaved little blue-haired boy next to him, the great magician who had lived for more than a thousand years had a headache for a moment.
"What's your name?"
"Simmel."
Fulillian continued to ask expressionlessly, "Where do you live?"
"Barum Orphanage."
Fulilian was startled for a moment, thinking about the previous wars that even a reclusive elf like her was disturbed, and thought deeply.
Barum...
I didn’t expect that she would go around and come back to Barum.
Recalling the life in Campbell Mansion, the exquisite food, warm rooms, and endless magic books, ignoring the fact that I was always caught working hard to study magic, it was a really happy time.
Speaking of which, it seems like I haven’t visited Luke and the others for a while, so I might as well pay them a visit.
Fulillian held the little boy's hand and walked to the place in her memory.
"I'm going to find someone who can take you back."
The little boy looked at the hand being held up and followed him with a blushing face.
Ten minutes later, the two stopped in front of a stunningly luxurious mansion.
“It’s become more impressive.”
Fulilian was shocked and thought a little confused, when was the last time she came?
She was thinking about knocking on the door, and soon the housekeeper came to open the door.
"Hello, miss, what can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for Ms. Luo Yin."
"There is no such person."
Fulillian blinked in confusion: "No, she is the mistress of the Campbell family."
"There is no such person." The butler's eyes became wary, "Are you sure you recognize the person in the mansion? Human?"
"What about Amir?"
"I haven't heard of it." The housekeeper was about to close the door.
“Wait! There must be one of Terela, Charles, and Luke you know!”
The housekeeper looked at Fulilian as if he were a madman, "If you have a problem with your head, you can go to a monk for treatment."
Only then did Fulilian react, "Ah... think about it carefully. Nearly two hundred years have passed."
"Everyone except Luke has passed away, right?"
She was surprised and a little sad at the same time, and then she found that the corner of her clothes was ripped off. pull.
The blue-haired boy looked a little shy and held a few coins in his hand and handed them over.
"To see a doctor for you."
Fulillian: "..."
She is not sick, she is just not very sensitive to time.
"Fulillian, are you looking for me?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Fulian looked around and saw the student who had been away for a long time with a calm expression.
"Long time no see, Luke."
"Looking more and more like an elf."
