Chapter 246: Seleu's Sensing the Demonic Sword
“Mmmmm, delicious, delicious!”
The table in the middle of the carriage was filled with food, including meat, vegetables, fruits, cheese, juice, etc. The Light Team, who had been hungry for most of the day, ate with gusto.
Amanda and Budno, two big eaters, ate with unrestrained manners, one eating barbecue and the other eating fruit.
"Delicious! I didn't expect there would be monster meat in the small town beside the canyon." Farm, who had turned into a little milk beast, happily held a piece of roasted monster meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and his face and body were covered with grease after eating it.
Smelling the fragrance of food, how could it be willing to stay in the Seal of the God of Fire and starve?
Shu Li couldn't bear to see its belly covered in grease, so she took out a clean white handkerchief and tied it around its neck as a bib.
"Eat well and don't get yourself dirty." He said with disgust.
"I know! Stop nagging!" Farm tugged at his bib lightly, twisted his neck uncomfortably, held the barbecue with his chubby paws, and continued to gnaw on it.
Shu Li sighed, picked up a piece of fruit and ate it slowly.
Disio moved closer to Farm, looking left and right, causing Farm to stop chewing the meat and glare at him impatiently.
"Are you finished yet?" it asked.
Ever since it came out of the Seal of the God of Fire, this little fire fairy has been staring at it, as if it had flowers on its head. It is so curious that it also likes to touch it and pokes its belly and butt with one finger.
"I'll just take a look." Dizio grinned, revealing his white teeth. "I really can't connect you now with that huge fire dragon lizard from before."
That huge monster has now become a small ball that can be lifted up with two fingers.
The Fire God's mount is at least ten thousand years old, yet it has transformed into a small, milking beast, begging the goblins for food and drink. It has thrived in the sacred tree for the past three years, with many goblins sacrificing their favorite food just to pet it.
Farm wagged his tail, biting the meat in his mouth and mumbling, "Then don't contact me, let me eat the meat properly!"
Dizio shrugged and turned to look at Shuri. "So... Sperian, have you figured it out?"
"Ah, this... wait a little longer?" Shu Li held the half-eaten fruit and raised his eyebrows.
Kumandi wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully and said to Shu Li seriously, "Escape will not solve the problem."
Shu Li hung his head dejectedly, stuffed the remaining half of the fruit into his mouth, chewed it quickly a few times, and swallowed it.
"Whose question should I answer first?"
It dragged on for twenty minutes, and when everyone was full, we finally couldn't drag it on any longer.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the Sword of Viona from his storage ring and handed it to Seleu. "Here you go."
If Seleu wants to see the magic sword, then send him away first.
"Thank you." Seleu carefully took the magic sword with both hands. As soon as he held it, his body suddenly stiffened.
The urge to sing surged up from deep within his heart once again, so strong that he wanted to throw away his reserve. He used great willpower to hold it back, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Shu Li asked in confusion when she saw him suddenly sweating.
"No, nothing." Seleu gripped the scabbard tightly, shifted his body, and sat in the corner of the carriage. "You two can talk first. I'll study the magic sword."
It's not an illusion.
When I got the magic sword, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if I had met an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time.
It's so strange, why does he have such a strange feeling?
Friend?
Seleu glanced at the little elf surrounded by others, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and gently stroked the scabbard with his right hand.
This scabbard... is so plain and unpretentious, it's not an exaggeration to say it's waste.
The little goblin actually used such an ugly scabbard to hold a legendary magic sword. It's really creative.
Seleu gripped the hilt of the sword, took a deep breath, and slowly pulled the sword three inches out of the sheath. His handsome face was immediately reflected on the mirror-like blade.
In contrast to its ordinary-looking scabbard, the magic sword itself is exquisite and gorgeous, and even after ten thousand years, it still looks sharp.
It was this sword that easily killed the Demon Lord.
The Sword of Carlos can do that too, right?
Seleu was very glad that he joined Team Light and came to the Wobba Canyon to complete the mission.
Because, although the Demon Lord's nightmare aroused the fear deep in his heart, it also released a memory that had been buried for twenty-two years.
When he was ten years old, he went with his mother to a banquet hosted by his uncle Denton. While chasing a black cat, he accidentally broke into a passage. Deep in the passage, he found a mad woman imprisoned in a cell and a statue of his ancestor, Sede Trick.
Every prince of Cecilia dreams of becoming the master of the Sword of Kalos, and Seleu is no exception.
So he knelt before the relief of his ancestors and prayed for strength.
Unexpectedly, a white light shot out from the relief and attacked him. He fell into a coma. When he woke up, he was back in the palace, and he had completely forgotten what happened in the passage.
The Queen Mother said that he accidentally fell into the ornamental lake at Uncle Wang's house. Fortunately, he was rescued by a servant who passed by, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The Queen Mother also said that Uncle Wang felt very guilty and came to visit him, but he was in a coma, so he sat for a while and then left.
At that time, he had no memory of falling into the lake. Now, combined with the nightmare, he speculated that his "amnesia" was caused by Uncle Wang.
In reality, he was in a coma when Uncle Wang came, but in the nightmare, he was clearly awake and facing Uncle Wang.
When Uncle Wang said those strange words, his fear reached its peak.
Fortunately, Sperian stabbed the Demon Lord to death with the Sword of Viona, allowing him to escape from the terrible nightmare.
Since he was a child, he has disliked Uncle Wang.
Although his uncle was known as the most handsome prince of Cecilia and admired by countless young women, Seleucus was always reluctant to be alone with him.
It was just because he had an aura that disgusted him.
I don’t know what method Uncle Wang used to make him forget the memory of the underground passage.
After waking up, Selyu's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds. He had previously thought he had finally gotten the hang of it, but now thinking back, it might have been the effect of that white light.
Seleu put the sword of Viona back into the scabbard, his eyes as calm as water.
He had a feeling that as his memories returned, he would soon find the lost Sword of Carlos.
After Shu Li gave the magic sword to Seleu, he decided to answer Kumandi's question first.
"It's a long story about how Efit and I met."
"You can take your time, we're not in a hurry." Angel cleaned up the dinner scraps on the table neatly, took out a plate of sunflower seeds he bought in town, placed it in the middle of the table, and said, "The way back is long, it's a good time to listen to a story."
The others grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracking them and nodding in agreement.
After finishing his meal of the barbecue, Farm pulled off his oil-stained handkerchief, jumped to the plate, and scooped up a melon seed with his short, fat paw.
Shu Li's mouth twitched again. "You guys..."
"Wait a moment." Angel took out his magic wand and chanted a spell. In an instant, a white light flashed and the entire carriage was shrouded in a soft light.
"What is this?" Hector asked.
Angel pursed his lips and smiled, putting away his wand and blinking. "Soundproof magic, be careful, walls may have ears."
He pointed to the coachman driving the carriage in front.
Although the groom is an ordinary human being, there is no guarantee that he will hear their secrets and spread them everywhere, causing unnecessary trouble.
Shu Li gave Angel a thumbs up.
He is indeed a little cunning, cautious and steady.
Angel grinned and continued cracking melon seeds.
"Ahem." Shu Li cleared his throat and said, "This story has to start from my childhood."
Hector, Siti, and Nasha immediately sat up straight, not even cracking their melon seeds.
After learning that there are five elves and a little dragon in the Light Team, they are still upset. Now listen to Sperian telling his story, don't take it too seriously.
"When I was a child, how young?" Amanda asked curiously.
Having heard this story, Dizio answered first: "It's the fourth month after we were born!"
Hector was surprised: "So small?"
In the fourth month after birth, it is still a baby, right?
Siti asked hesitantly, "Four months...can he walk?"
Nasha shook her head: "A four-month-old baby can't crawl, let alone walk."
Shu Li knew they had misunderstood and explained, "Fairy cubs can fly, walk, run, and talk as soon as they are born, unlike human babies."
"This... is so magical?" Hector said in disbelief.
"It's really amazing." Ace agreed.
Shu Li looked at Ace and found that the surprise on his face was not fake.
After stabbing the purple-haired monster to death with the magic sword, Shu Li had a question in his mind.
In the nightmare, when the Elf King opened the cabinet door and said he would take him to kill monsters, he instantly regained consciousness and involuntarily threw himself into the Elf King's arms, crying loudly, and his tears wet his clothes.
The purple-haired monster died and the nightmare ended. He found Ace standing behind him, and the two were very close to each other.
Ace opened his eyes and asked him if it was true or not. He then patted Ace's chest and was surprised to find that the collar of his shirt was a little wet under his palm.
This is strange.
Why was there a small wet spot on Ace's clothes for no reason?
The location is still very delicate.
Surprised, Shu Li looked at Ace's eyes carefully. There was no sign of him crying. However, when he touched the corner of his eye, his fingertips felt a little wet.
He cried in his nightmares, did he cry in reality too?
Could the small wet spot on Ace's collar be stained with his tears?
However, given their positions at the time, one in front of the other, it was impossible for his tears to wet the other's clothes unless they flew backwards.
With such doubts, a previously overturned guess emerged in Shu Li's mind.
However, until conclusive evidence is found, that guess will be temporarily suppressed in my heart.
Kumandi calmly asked Disio, "Do you already know?"
Desio stuck out his tongue and pointed at Angel and Budno. "We three all know the story about Sperion and Efit."
This was originally the secret of the four little fairies, but now it has become the secret of Team Light.
Kumandi turned to Shuli and said, "Go on."
Jingjing's gaze was filled with majesty, and Shu Li gathered her scattered thoughts and said, "Wasn't it Midsummer's Day? The fairies were all going to the Elf Kingdom to celebrate with the elves. We were arranged to live in the courtyard of the elf cubs, and Dizio and I shared a room. That day, while taking a nap, I heard a strange sound..."
So Shu Li described to his friend in vivid detail how the Elf Mother Tree seduced him, even imitating the ethereal tone of the Mother Tree.
Siti got goosebumps when she heard this and hugged Nasha beside her.
Kumandi frowned.
"...I didn't want to pay attention, but the mother tree's voice kept echoing in my ears. Unconsciously, my consciousness became blurred. When I regained consciousness, I found myself leaving the room and appearing in front of the mother tree. The mother tree was bare and looked so pitiful, so I reached out and touched it, and the result was..."
"What's the result?" Hector asked nervously. First of all, no matter why a tree can talk, the mother tree's behavior alone does not seem like a normal tree.
Seryu didn't know when he put down his magic sword and listened attentively.
Shu Li raised his right hand. "My finger was pricked by the bark of the mother tree, and a drop of blood came out."
Amanda opened her mouth slightly: "Is it serious?"
The skin of the little cub is very tender, it will be very painful if it is broken!
Farm spit out the melon seed shell and asked, "Did the Elf Mother Tree suck your blood?"
Shu Li nodded seriously and said, "Yes, the mother tree not only sucked my blood, but also took the initiative to sign a contract with me."
Although he only learned about this contract later.
The mother tree, which was severely polluted by the dark force, became insane and was capable of doing anything illogical.
"Contract?" Kumandi asked. "What contract?"
Shu Li replied, "A... magical contract that allows me to travel to any place on the continent through the roots of the Mother Tree."
