Facing the golden elf's eyes that were filled with hope.
However, Char simply lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Hathaway's sight.
During the months of wandering in the dimensional void, in addition to enjoying the excitement of the reversal of teacher and student, he also did something else.
It took Xia several months to thoroughly analyze the specific structure of the Eternal Night Curtain on the outside of the Lost Island.
Before its fall, it was able to use such a barrier to cover the entire royal court of its race, and it lasted for a thousand years without being noticed by outsiders.
Even some mythical creatures went to the Endless Sea to explore the location of the Elf King's Court and find some treasures left by the Elf King, but they all returned empty-handed in the end.
Just from this work, one can get a glimpse of the Elf King's status.
Even in the first age when mythical creatures were rampant, He was definitely a very important existence. Otherwise, He would not have become the master of a royal court in the glorious era before the great catastrophe, and was even hailed as the left hand of the creator, the sun god.
What Char was more concerned about was——
...
...
It was the sun god who was rumored to have died a thousand years ago and who even in the first era was only circulated in legends.
"In the Church of the Dawn of the Fourth Epoch, there is also the name of one of the Seven Gods of the Dawn, the 'Church of the Blazing Sun'. ”
"However, the fact that the name needs to be listed alongside the other six gods shows that the god believed in by the Blazing Sun Church is most likely not the Sun God."
"Perhaps, he just gained some authority and divinity during that bloody catastrophe—"
"And this true sun god..."
"And the World Tree that appeared with the Age of Glory and became the foundation of the world, but also withered during the Great Cataclysm..."
There was a gleam in Char's eyes, but because he lowered his eyes, Hathaway beside him did not notice it.
The curtain called Eternal Night almost blocked all detection of the Lost Island from the outside world.
No matter whether it is the skill of long-distance observation, or the premonition and divination through spiritual intuition, it is impossible to see the true face of it.
However, through some details revealed from the side, Char still had some guesses in his mind.
Some truths that make people feel suffocated.
Xia's thoughts paused for a moment, his eyes swept over the golden elf beside him whose eyes were filled with joy and excitement, and his heart sank slightly.
Whether it is the seven so-called righteous gods of the Dawn Church, or those crazy evil gods of the Abyss.
It is undeniable that the gods who can achieve the title of God's Throne are all high and mighty, and their divinity far transcends ordinary emotions...
Not only the godhood, but even the essence of life has already transformed and evolved into a completely new mythical creature.
Although they appear to belong to the same race as before becoming gods, they are actually two different species.
Their different attitudes toward believers are essentially just different means and choices of gathering the power of faith.
There may be exceptions, such as the ancient dragon king who was willing to let his own flesh and blood be eaten by his tribesmen in order to protect his children.
However, this will never be the norm.
so--
The Elf King who is high above and looks down upon all living beings.
When the catastrophe breaks out and even their own safety is in danger, will they really disregard their own safety and be willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their so-called fellow tribesmen in the Elf King's court, whose races are already very different from theirs?
The Elf King must have some intention behind that curtain of eternal night.
However, this intention may not be what the elves think it is.
Of course, if that were all, then perhaps Char was just judging others by his own standards.
Although they are already different races in terms of the origin of life, the Elf King is, after all, the true Lord of the Royal Court, and has guarded the Elf Royal Court for many years as its guardian.
It is not completely incomprehensible that one develops feelings for one's own people and is willing to protect them even at the cost of one's life.
What really made Char realize that something was wrong was not these speculations.
It's a cold, real truth.
According to the information Char obtained from the remnants of Esgania's history.
Not just in the Quaternary.
Even in the Third Age, or even in the Second Age long before that, there had never been any rumors of high elves other than Hathaway.
Even though several epochs have passed, the influence of the fallen sun has long since disappeared, and the veil of eternal night should have been broken long ago.
But the high elves seemed to be together with the lost island.
Forever, lost in history.
…
“Char…”
"Char?"
"Could it be that he was too tired from studying arcane arts earlier and fell asleep even while standing?"
As if she had noticed Char's distraction, Hathaway stretched out her white hand and waved in front of Char's eyes.
After realizing that Char still had no reaction, the golden elf girl's pretty face suddenly showed a hint of cunning.
She took two steps back, lifted up her white skirt, and a mischievous curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Char...Sensei."
That sweet and pleasant voice startled Xia out of his deep thoughts and he reacted suddenly.
"What did you call me just now?"
"Hmm? Did I say anything?"
The golden elf placed a white finger to his lips and spoke with some doubt.
"Whatever you just said, please say it again immediately."
"don't want."
She smiled, lifted her plain white skirt and turned around.
"but--"
The golden elf blinked and closed one eye slightly, while the cunningness in the other eye became more intense.
"If you, Char, are willing to accompany me back to the Lost Island, I will call you by that name every day."
call--
Char let out a long breath.
I have to say, this cute little teacher's self-control is a little too scary.
If it were someone else, it might be okay.
However, Char had seen Hathaway's majestic, solemn, mysterious and indescribable beauty sitting on the future throne since he was a child.
Such a strong contrast before and after is simply Junjun's exclusive double special attack against Char.
It has the beauty of a purple-haired old woman piercing through a happy street lamp king.
But that's true.
According to the Mercury Serpent, the lifespans of the extraordinary races in the Glorious Era were all extremely long.
Pure-blooded golden elves can easily live for thousands of years.
In other words, according to the lifespan of the high elves before the pollution, Hathaway is indeed still in the early adulthood stage.
Not long after she was born, she fell into the Lost Island and conducted research on magic and the astral world in this quiet royal court... It was impossible for her to have much experience.
Although her status and identity have now reached the highest point in the Lost Island, she still reveals some of her girlish nature occasionally.
At least, he couldn't imagine that his teacher from the Fourth Epoch would say this to him.
Xia calmed down the surging emotions that had been aroused by the girl in front of him, and looked back at the golden elf in front of him.
He was no longer joking, but had a serious expression and spoke every word seriously.
"Hathaway." "If I say, I want to take you away from the Lost Island and your people."
"Cross the endless sea and return to the western continent..."
"Will you, come with me?"
I noticed the seriousness in Char's words.
The golden elf girl also put away the faint smile on her pretty face.
She blinked her light golden eyes, and the slight entanglement and hesitation only flashed by without pausing.
"I'm sorry, Char."
The golden elf spoke softly.
"I am really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Char, I would have already become another corpse floating in the dimensional void."
"The days of studying arcane arts and magic with you in this cottage were truly joyful."
"I really want to continue to delve into the ocean of arcane and explore the truth hidden behind the stars as you said."
"I'd rather become a powerful wizard like you."
"but--"
Her gaze shifted slightly.
Then, it paused outside the window of "Char's Flying House", deep in the dark and silent dimensional void.
After completing the arcane model and spell code of the forbidden spell "Hathaway. Dimension Anchor", she is now able to locate herself in the endless void without any reference points.
Hathaway was looking in the direction of the Lost Island.
"I can't leave."
She whispered, "That is the weight of the future of the elves that the elders of the Council who fell one by one on the road of seeking light have placed on me."
"Although I did not want this heavy pressure at first, it was a mission imposed on me by the elders of the Council because they saw my outstanding talent... But to this day, I cannot abandon it."
"After nearly a thousand years, it has become an obsession."
She did not run away, but looked directly at Char with her beautiful golden eyes: "It took so much effort and so much effort to cross the endless subspace to find the magnificent treasure called magic that can illuminate the future of the elves."
"But because of my momentary willfulness, I abandoned the entire Lost Island and the entire race -"
"If I really do this, I really don't know how to face the eyes of those predecessors who raised me in the wonderland of wise men after death."
"certainly--"
"All the arcane knowledge I learned was taught by you, Xia."
"If it weren't for you, even if I had discovered magic power deep in the astral realm, I would never have been able to learn to construct arcane models and cast magic so quickly."
The golden elf looked at Xia calmly, with clear and pure eyes.
"So, if you want to destroy my memory of magic, or kidnap me, or even kill me, I will have no complaints."
"I know you are strong, stronger than I thought."
"Although you have been saying these days that I have caught up with you, Char, in terms of attainments in arcane and magic, I have a vague feeling that arcane and magic are not all you have."
"The real you is far more powerful than you are as a wizard."
…
Tsk——
Looking at the clear eyes of the golden elf girl in front of him, without a trace of haze, Xia's heart sank.
Teacher, you are defeating me.
Char thought that he was not that philanthropic, and the matter of the Lost Island was far from being as simple as he thought.
The Elf King, the Creator of the Glorious Age named Sun God, the World Tree... There are layers of fog and haze covering this, and too many things are involved.
As for a group of elves with whom he had no previous contact and who might have even disappeared into the dust of history, Char's idea was of course that it was better to have less trouble than more.
Although he always talked about writing a "Guide to Evaluating the Customs of Alien Races", Char naturally did not really love the elves so much that he loved them more than the entire elves.
From the beginning to the end, what Xia really cared about in the Western Continent were just those few people.
only--
"Even if I tell the teacher about what happened on the Isle of the Lost, I'm sure she won't believe it..."
Xia sighed in his heart.
However, this is indeed the style of the teacher I am familiar with.
If the girl in front of him really agreed to his proposal and followed him heartlessly, then Char would start to wonder if he had found the wrong person.
"All right."
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the long light golden hair in front of the golden elf's somewhat surprised gaze.
Well, the feel is somewhere between Xibao and Xiaoai. In a nutshell, it's very smooth and great.
"King of Killing by Patting the Head" achievement progress +1.
"I'll go back to the Isle of the Lost with you."
Xia smiled.
"Who told you, Hathaway, that you are my most proud and most worried disciple?"
Xia Ya has made up his mind that he will definitely be the teacher of his master, Fan Tiangang.
Even if God comes, he can’t stop him, he said.
"Really?"
The golden elf girl's originally indifferent eyes suddenly became much brighter, with a hint of excitement.
For a moment, she did not pay attention to Xia's previous intimate behavior, but happily lifted the hem of her skirt, walked briskly, and turned around in the cabin.
But soon, the golden elf looked at Xia with some worry.
She was not a fool. The reason why Xia asked whether he wanted to go with her was that he must have had some difficulties.
"Char, are you having trouble entering the Lost Island?"
"I heard that the Curtain of Eternal Night was built specifically for the Royal Court... Non-elves who enter it may be greatly affected."
She said with some regret: "If that's the case, then I can go back alone..."
"Need not."
Xia interrupted Hathaway and smiled calmly: "It's just that the foreign races will be greatly suppressed and unable to use their mental power. They will recover as long as they leave."
"It's nothing serious."
"Is that so?"
Hathaway didn't think much about it and just nodded lightly.
Because of this, she did not see the deep meaning revealed in Xia Ya's eyes at this moment.
Although it is true that today’s kindergarten teachers are very cute.
However, such a teacher cannot serve as the future head of the eight pages of the Black Tower - "The Eternal Page".
Xia's eyes were fixed on the direction of the Lost Island in the void, and he gradually fell silent.
The future may not be unchangeable.
only--
Before that.
As a young golden elf master, I may have to realize the cruelty of reality.
