Crash——
Crash——
There was a sound of water in the bathroom.
Along with it came the light, faint humming of the golden elf.
This is the favorite song of the elven bards of the Lost Isle.
The song depicts a beautiful epic story - an elf girl who was persecuted by her family and ran away from home, wandering alone, met a prince from the royal court in an ancient dense forest. They went through many twists and turns, from falling in love to experiencing separation and hardship, and finally got married and returned home in glory.
Ever since hearing Char's reply, Hathaway has been in a very good mood these days.
For a whole week, she prepared to return to the Isle of the Lost.
Just the transcriptions of the basic spell texts amounted to hundreds of volumes.
...
...
Among them, most are low-level spells such as "Wind Blade", "Wizard's Hand", "Flash", and "Ice Crystal Spike".
These second and third level spells were completely meaningless to Hathaway and Char. Even if they were attacked without any defense, they could not even break the surface defense.
However, if one does not just want to strengthen oneself, but truly want to popularize arcane and magic, this new supernatural system called wizards.
In the first era when the fallen sun still existed and the bloodlines of the extraordinary races were polluted, a new way out was found for the elves trapped on the Lost Island.
Then, the significance of these basic spell texts is even greater than those of forbidden spell texts.
After all, no matter how powerful the forbidden spell is, it can never help a person who has never been exposed to magic to complete the arcane enlightenment and take the first step to become a so-called "wizard apprentice."
And now, there is this spell tome that can be described as a small library—
Then, there would be a practical foundation for fulfilling the wishes that the predecessors had placed on him and illuminating the future of the Elf King's Court.
And when the entire elves are freed from their difficult situation, the burden that has lasted for thousands of years will also be put down.
At that time, you will no longer be restrained or restricted.
You are free to do what you want and follow who you want to follow.
Speaking of which——
Xia seemed to have said that he planned to build a wizard tower in the Western Continent that would be open to all races and teach arcane arts and magic.
and.
He also said that he wanted to invite me to become the first member of the wizard tower...
Thinking of this, the golden elf girl's humming became a little more cheerful.
…
I understand. It turns out that the teacher likes to hum songs while taking a bath.
+1 for the knowledge points in the notebook.
I hope these knowledge points will come in handy when I return to reality.
Char closed his notebook.
Then, he felt that he had suddenly discovered the highlight.
"Char's Flying House" is a metal structure created entirely by him.
He himself is the real owner of this small flying house.
In other words, as long as he wanted, he could use his mental power to easily detect the exact details of any place at any time and anywhere.
The bathroom is no exception.
Snap——
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Char saw a large, furry, snow-white tail sweeping before his eyes.
With a soft and itchy touch, it covered his eyes.
"嘤嘤~ (Master, please don't be unfaithful.)"
Silver whimpered in dissatisfaction.
As the pet with the longest contract with Char, whose soul compatibility has long reached the maximum value, and which can be described as having telepathic communication with Char, the little snow ferret can guess what is in his mind as soon as Char's mind fluctuates.
Originally, no matter what Char did, Gin was always indifferent.
After all, as the leader of the Little Ai Party and also the largest shareholder of Ai shares, it has long been sitting on the Diaoyutai and usually looks lazy and idle.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are many women surrounding Char on a daily basis, each of them has her own charm.
But as a witness to the entire past of Airola and Char, Yin knew very well that the position of his mistress in the master's heart was not something they could shake.
The love between us is like flowing water, but the childhood sweethearts are forever.
All I can say is, now that the dragon is already in my face, I have no idea how I can lose.
However, the golden elf was the only exception.
Whether it was Char, Airola, or Silver, they had all personally experienced the fear of being dominated by the Eternal Page of the Black Tower.
Although not the same type as Aurora, Yin knew very well that the golden elf was the same as Aurora—
She also holds a unique and irreplaceable position in Char's heart.
If there is any chance of defeat left after the dragon hits the face, it is probably here.
It was for this reason that the little snow ferret became alert after seeing the golden elf again in the First Age.
He was afraid that the mistress he recognized might be stolen from his home at any time.
But soon—
Oops.
A faint roar of a dragon was heard.
Yin was confused when he saw Ye patting the dragon's wings and looking at him with hostility.
Oh, I almost forgot.
This new member seems to have the best relationship with the gold elves.
Moreover, he is a food protector.
I just don't know if this newbie is helping the golden elf or is dissatisfied with the play between him and his master.
"Don't fight, don't fight."
"What are the benefits of adding more? Whoever says it's right will give it to him."
Char rubbed the head of the little Night Dragon who was grinning at Silver.
It squinted its eyes in satisfaction and stopped looking aggressive.
Yin felt sad and jealous when he saw this.
When will this damn newbie benefit end?
However, the little snow ferret was soon picked up by Char and thrown on his shoulder.
"Yin, you underestimate your master."
"Although I have already been chosen as the male lead in Shi-chan's story, I am not that impatient."
"I haven't even reached full favorability with the First Epoch's Junior Teacher-chan... and we've never confirmed our relationship. Isn't it pure hooliganism to peek at her bathing at this time?"
"Your master is not so tasteless."
Silver glanced at Char suspiciously.
"What were you thinking about just now, Master?"
"Of course I'm thinking about serious matters. Could it be that I'm being lustful?"
Char tapped the little ferret's head gently.
He said righteously, "I am thinking about the future of the Lost Island."
"Also, the future of the elves." "Although I am not a member of the elves, since that is the teacher's mission, then as the teacher's male protagonist, this is naturally my mission as well."
“It’s a given.”
"Hmm~ (Is that so?)"
Yin swung his tail, still feeling a little suspicious.
But in the blink of an eye, it saw Ye beside it squatting obediently on Xia's shoulder.
The red-gold dragon's eyes were filled with conviction and admiration, and stars were almost popping out of them.
Oh, I’m a newbie.
It was obvious that he had never been cheated by his master, and there was a clear stupidity in his eyes.
The little snow ferret sighed in his heart and stopped questioning.
"Ye, have you heard the story of Prometheus?"
Char quite enjoyed the look Ye gave him.
After all, his other pets have suffered greatly from his sinister character and are well aware of it, so it is not so easy to fool him.
Otherwise, why do people like newbies?
"Awoo~ (I haven't heard of it.)"
Ye shook his head and flapped his small dragon wings in anticipation, waiting for what was to come.
These days, in order to increase intimacy, Char holds it in his arms and tells it bedtime stories every night before going to bed.
From Little Red Riding Hood to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Little Mermaid to One Thousand and One Nights.
The inexperienced Ye was fascinated by the stories, and the thing he looked forward to most every day was listening to Char's stories.
"Legend has it that in the earliest times—"
"Fire is the privilege of the gods above the heavens."
"And the humans on earth can only get lost in the endless darkness."
"In order to seek shelter from the beasts and disasters in the darkness, I could only agree to the harsh demands of the gods. I used extremely harsh sacrificial conditions in exchange for the insignificant blessings of the gods."
"However, among those high and mighty gods, there emerged a traitor named Prometheus."
"He stole the fire that was originally only held by the gods and brought it to the human world."
"So, in the pitch-dark night when nothing could be done, people could now light torches and move around freely."
"People no longer have to eat raw meat every day, but can cook it and eat cooked food."
"Even wild beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards that were originally impossible to resist can be driven away and resisted with the help of bonfires. There is no need to worry about dying in the mouths of wild beasts."
He touched the dark and deep scales of the night and said softly: "Don't you think that Shi-chan and I are like Prometheus to the Lost Island?"
"Bring the fire of arcane and magic to the lightless place covered by the veil of eternal night."
"Then, it illuminates the future of the elves."
“Ouch~”
Ye nodded, not quite understanding.
After all, it had just hatched from its shell not long ago and had no experience, so it couldn't really understand the deep meaning of Char's words.
Born to hold the power of shadows and born in the darkness, it certainly does not understand what the "fire" mentioned by Char means to those races that yearn for light.
It just mechanically wrote down the somewhat difficult and complicated name of Prometheus.
However, given the status of the Night Dragon, even if it was just memorized mechanically, it would be enough for it to never forget it for the rest of its life.
What Ye cares more about is actually the follow-up of this story.
"Ouch~ (What happened next? How did Prometheus become?)"
According to the style of the stories Char had told it in the past, most of those fairy tales would have a perfect and happy ending.
For example, Snow White and Cinderella will eventually live happily together with the prince, and the Black-hearted Queen with the magic mirror and Cinderella's vicious stepmother and stepsister will all receive the punishment they deserve.
However, facing Ye's gaze, Xia just shook his head gently.
"night--"
"You have to know that the reason why a fairy tale is a fairy tale is that it is dreamy and beautiful, yet out of reach."
“Not all stories have a perfect ending like those fairy tales.”
"Prometheus brought fire to the world."
"The king of the gods was on Mount Olympus above the clouds, overlooking the fireworks on earth. Naturally, he also realized the truth that the fire had been stolen. He was furious and ordered the capture of the despicable fire thief."
"Originally, Prometheus hid among the mortals. Even the gods could not find him so easily. They could only send down thunder to vent their anger in vain."
“But the wrath of the gods caused fear and terror in the people.”
"People began to blame the fire thief for angering the king of the gods, who brought down divine punishment and disaster on the human world. They chose to help the gods and captured Prometheus who was hiding in the human world."
"The gods took him to a high mountain and tied him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken. He could never fall asleep, and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was nailed to his heaving chest. Prometheus had to endure hunger, wind, sun and heavy rain every day and night."
"An evil vulture was sent to eat his liver, which was filled with human emotions, every day. It ate it during the day and grew it again at night, day after day, year after year."
Hearing what Xia said, Ye flapped his dragon wings in confusion.
"Wuwu~ (Why is this happening?)"
"Woo woo~ (Didn't Prometheus steal fire to benefit mankind? Why did he end up being betrayed?)"
“Because this is reality.”
"A long period of time can change many things. A thousand years is enough for people to change from being grateful to Prometheus to being disdainful and indifferent."
There was something profound in Char's words.
"Forgetfulness is a disaster, but also a weapon."
"People first took away their memories, destroyed their books, their culture, their history."
"Someone else will come and write another book for them, give them another culture, and invent another history for them."
"After that, the people slowly begin to forget who they are and what they were. The world around them will forget them even faster."
Char paused for a moment.
"There is nothing new under the sun."
"Not only in the story of Prometheus..."
"Even in this reality called the Lost Island, it will be the same."
"but."
The corners of his mouth curved into an arc.
"Who told me that? He's my teacher."
Ye lay on top of Xia's head and nodded as if he understood.
"Char, what are you talking about with Ye?"
A clear and pleasant sound came from the direction of the bathroom.
Char looked up and saw that the golden elf girl had put on the pure white robe again. She was using the "hot air spell" to blow dry her wet hair and braiding her light golden hair into a princess braid.
"I think I heard Prometheus and the Fire Thief? Is that a new story?"
Facing the slightly curious gaze of the golden elf, Xia just smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."
He opened the door of the little flying house.
Then, in the void, he reached out his hand towards Hathaway.
"Now that we are ready to return to the Isle of the Lost—"
"Then let us go."
