Chapter 267 We are 100 years old
With Ace's support, Shu Li stood firmly.
Feeling a strong arm on his waist, he tensed up all over. Fortunately, the other party seemed to understand his predicament and relaxed naturally.
Shu Li adjusted his magic robe as if to cover up, and rubbed his sensitive waist inconspicuously.
It was strange. Normally, I didn't feel anything when I cuddled or rubbed against the little fairies, but why did Ace give me this inexplicable tingling sensation wherever I touched? Even my heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
After letting Shu Li go, Ace still looked at him sideways, his eyes focused, waiting for his answer persistently.
Shu Li was sweating profusely.
He always suspected that Ace was the Elf King, and kept jumping between yes and no, ignoring Ace's special feelings for him.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the blond boy was asking him for confirmation, and the balance in his heart tilted.
Ace is definitely not the Elf King.
Because it was impossible for the Elf King to look at him with such loving eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ace asked with concern, noticing the sweat on Shu Li's forehead. "Did you sprain your ankle?"
"No, no, no, no." Shu Li took two steps to the side, keeping some distance from him, and said with a wandering look, "Um...about your question just now, I can't give you an answer."
Ace smiled and said, "I was just asking casually, you don't have to mind it."
Is this a step back to advance?
Shu Li calmed himself down and decided to use the tactic of procrastination.
"I haven't thought about this question. After all, I...we are still underage!"
He turned around and grinned at the goblins, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
This tactic is called shifting the blame, allowing more people to join the discussion and downplay the ambiguous nature of the issue.
"No."
The goblins shook their heads in unison.
"Where is Amanda?" Shu Li asked Xiaolong again.
Amanda blushed slightly as she spoke innocently, "Our tribe needs to reproduce, so most of us are heterosexual. Of course, if two males... uh, insist on being together, we wouldn't object."
Shu Li took a step back, nudged Amanda's arm with her elbow, and winked. "What about you?"
Amanda replied innocently: "I am a minor just like you!"
Minors don't have to worry about this.
Hector asked in confusion, "At what age do you become an adult?"
Humans hold their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, so why are fairies and dragons not considered adults after they turn eighteen?
"This number." Shu Li raised a finger and wrote three numbers in the air.
Hector's eyes were dull. "One... one hundred years?"
Siti and Nasha were also shocked.
"One hundred years...is our human lifetime."
"And you've just come of age?"
At this moment, they finally deeply realized the difference between the immortal species and humans.
Ace mused, "Magicians and swordsmen live longer than ordinary people."
Hector clenched his fist and said firmly: "That's right! As long as we continue to improve our magic level, we can live over a hundred years."
Danlov is the longest-lived human being currently, with a lifespan of over 3,000 years!
Now that he has become the God of Law, he can live longer.
"If you have any questions about magic, you can come to us." Shu Li put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "We will actively improve our own strength and strive to make Team Light the longest-lasting adventuring team in history."
"good!"
Hector, Siti and Nasha were suddenly excited and full of confidence in the future.
Ace looked at Shu Li and said gently, "I am willing to fight alongside you forever."
Shu Li's heart nearly skipped a beat. "—Me too."
He didn't dislike Ace, he even liked him, the kind of like a friend would have. Compared to Hector and the others, his feelings for Ace were deeper.
It can be said that he is the first human being he has had in-depth interactions with since leaving the Fairy Forest, and he holds special significance for him.
Even if Ace had special feelings for him, he would not hide.
He is a human being worthy of his trust and a teammate who fights side by side with him.
When everyone was about to reach the bus stop, a car stopped and passengers got off one after another.
"Seriu!" Shu Li waved in surprise.
I originally wanted to go back to the academy to find Seryu, but I didn't expect to meet him here.
Seleu was wearing ordinary casual clothes, with his black hair tied into a bun and floating behind his back. He had a restrained aura, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and blended in with the crowd, looking inconspicuous.
Shu Li discovered him because she sensed the aura of the magic sword.
Seryu heard the familiar voice calling out and looked at Shuri and the other members of Team Light in surprise. He walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shu Li chuckled and said, "Let's take on the mission!"
"A mission?" Selyu looked up at the Adventurer's Association building not far away. "Did you get it?"
"Got it!" Budno gestured excitedly, "It's a super simple task."
"Simple?" Seryu was slightly startled. "Same as last time?"
"No, no, no, this time we are going to the Monster Forest." Desio couldn't wait to tell Seleu the mission instructions.
After hearing this, Seleu was really surprised.
Go to the Warcraft Forest to collect twenty Sek'en bird feathers?
Reward 15,000 gold coins?
There is no level limit for adventure teams!
This is indeed a good mission tailor-made for Team Light.
Other adventure teams are helpless against the Sek'en Bird, but Team Light is different. There are five goblins and a little dragon in the team. Plus, he is now a sword master, so he is more than capable of adventuring in the World of Warcraft Forest.
Yes, after awakening to become the Sword of Carlos, his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he was directly upgraded from an intermediate greatswordsman to a swordsman.
In order to test his own strength, he disguised himself, put on a mask, and registered a false new name - Swordsman Competition can hide personal information.
He challenged three high-level swordsmen in succession and won all of them without any suspense.
There were no other sword masters in the arena, so he could only leave with regret.
In the past, I participated in competitive games for two reasons: first, to make money, and second, to hone my combat awareness and swordsmanship.
Now, he has no financial worries and has strong opponents, and the arena can no longer satisfy him.
"Do you want to go with us?" Shu Li asked Seryu expectantly.
Seleu once said that he was wanted by the Black Knight, and leaving the atrium might trigger the wanted order and bring about his own death.
The last time we went to Wobbe Canyon, it took less time and returned quickly, so we didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the Black Knight.
This time when we go to the Warcraft Forest, we will pass through two small countries and the round trip will take two days and two nights. I am afraid that the Black Knight will receive the message and intercept us halfway.
"Go." Seleu said firmly.
With his current strength, the Black Knight is nothing to be feared. Moreover, if he wants to continue to improve and hone himself, he must constantly accept challenges.
Doing adventure missions is a good choice.
As for the Black Knights, let them be the first whetstone for him when he steps out of the courtyard!
Shu Li was both surprised by Seryu's change and felt it was natural.
Seleu is the sword of Carlos, the leader of the five magic swords. If the Black Knights dare to intercept them halfway, they should worry about their own lives.
"I'll ask Ilio for leave when we get back to the academy. We'll set off on Thursday evening." Shu Li said excitedly.
Seleu nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Can I take Harris with me?"
Harris was his magic enlightenment teacher. It was because of his protection along the way eighteen years ago that he was safe.
In order to take care of him, Harris never stepped out of the courtyard, which was not conducive to the development of the magician.
Now, Haris has been stuck as a low-level mage for a long time. If he doesn't break through, his future will be hopeless.
Seleu decided to lend him a hand and took him on an adventurous mission.
From now on, he will protect Harris.
"As for the reward, he and I will share it."
"This..." Shu Li hesitated.
It doesn't matter if there is one more person in the adventure team, but how can I not let him get a share of the reward?
"It's okay if you can't." Seleu said.
"No, it's not impossible." Shu Li explained, "You two worked together, but I only get one reward. I feel bad."
"Yeah." Angel nodded, "Sperian is right."
Seryu smiled faintly. "In a way, Harris is my man. I'm responsible for everything about him, so it's enough to count me in."
"Huh?" A small question mark appeared above Shu Li's head.
I don’t know if it was influenced by Hector’s incident, but when he heard Seleu say “Halis is mine”, he subconsciously thought of it in the wrong way.
However, upon closer thought, something seems wrong.
Harris was once the royal magician of Cecilia and a subject of the prince. "My people" should refer to the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
Shu Li gave herself a big cross in her heart.
Since Seleucus had said this, no one else had any objections, so it was settled.
"Shall we go back to the magic academy together?" Shu Li asked Seryu.
"I'm going to the Entrien Association," Seryu said. He and his sister Cecil communicated through the Entrien Association and contacted each other every week.
Shu Li thought about it and agreed to go together.
Although I just got the news about Chris yesterday and paid the Entelin Association to continue investigating, what if the results come out today?
Since I'm here now, I might as well ask.
Nasha couldn't wait to know the news about her brother and agreed actively.
The Enteling Association is not far from here, just a ten-minute walk away.
After entering, Seryu went to the contact staff to get the news alone. Shuli and Nasha tried their luck and asked the staff who received them yesterday.
I never expected that the Entelin Association was so efficient that there was new news!
Shu Li was shocked when he got the metal pipe.
"Wow, Sperian, open it and take a look!" Desio urged impatiently.
"I hope there will be accurate information this time." Angel rubbed his hands.
"I hope he is safe." Budno clasped his hands together.
As everyone waited, Shu Li unscrewed the metal tube, pulled out the small note inside, and quickly started reading it.
Dear guest, Mr. Chris, the man you're looking for, has been in the Snow Kingdom for eighteen years, after a month of trouble in the Monster Forest. The Snow Kingdom is a frozen land that opens only once every five years. Since the next opening is in two years, we ask for your patience.
After reading this message, the goblins all fell silent.
Chris went to the Snow Country!
Eighteen years have passed since he left!
The Snow Country opens once every five years, and he had two chances to leave, but he gave up both times.
With his mischievous nature, he would never stay in one place for so long unless there was an irresistible force that trapped him.
"Will he..." Shu Li's face was solemn, and he looked at Kumandi.
"We went to the Snow Mountain Maze." Kumandi said in a deep voice.
Shu Li nodded.
Only the Snow Mountain Maze could arouse Chris's interest, and only the Snow Mountain Maze could trap Chris for eighteen years.
"That's terrible!" Shu Li covered his forehead. He knew Chris loved to commit suicide, but he didn't know he was so good at it.
Eighteen years ago, he had just reached adulthood and had only the strength of a high-level wizard. Without any preparation, he dared to enter the snow mountain maze alone.
"When we find him later, we'll tie him up in front of Dagmon and let Dagmon spank his butt hard!" Angel's amber eyes sparkled.
Although Dagmon is an elf, he never shows mercy when spanking the goblins.
Amanda gasped: "He's so brave."
More courageous than dragons!
Shu Li complained: "Reckless is more like it."
Ace comforted him: "Maybe he has a reason to go."
Shu Li's eyebrows knitted together, and he sighed and said, "Whether there really is a reason or not, we'll know when we find him."
Kumandi pulled out a small notebook to record his progress. "The Snow Country opens once every five years, so we have to wait two years before we can act."
Disio scratched his head and head, running around anxiously. "Can't we go in early?"
Ace took out a map and pointed at the Snow Country. "The Snow Country is located in the far north of Austin Continent. It's a plateau, 4,000-6,000 meters above sea level. There's only one entrance, a 100-meter-high ice gate. It can only be opened by activating a unique magic circle."
Hector sighed. "Ace is right. The Snow Country is a very xenophobic country."
The Pros Empire and the Snow Country are neighbors, but they rarely interact. Countless merchants have tried to open trade routes to the Snow Country, but all have failed.
The King of Dalia and the King of Pedam were extremely lucky to marry the princess of the Snow Kingdom.
Thinking of the country of Pedam, Hector turned to look at Nasha.
She leaned against the pillar alone, staring at the note taken out of the metal tube for a long time.
Is it bad news?
Hector was a little worried and winked at Siti.
Siti understood, walked to the pillar, and asked Nasha softly, "What's the situation?"
Nasha bit her lip gently and handed the note to Siti. Siti took the note, unfolded it, and asked in surprise, "Your brother... also entered the Snow Kingdom?"
"Yes." Nasha said sadly, "But eight years ago, the Snow Country was not open."
The note clearly stated that her brother couldn't wait for the border to open, so he climbed the snow-capped mountains with other adventurers who wanted to sneak across and chose to force their way through.
That is a road of no return, a life-or-death situation, and it is unknown whether you can survive.
Nasha was horrified, her eyes were wet, her legs and feet were weak, and she leaned weakly against the pillar.
Siti hugged her and patted her back soothingly. "Don't worry. Trust your brother."
Nasha leaned in her arms, drawing warmth and forcing herself to calm down.
When the others learned about her brother's situation, they all gathered around.
Shu Li raised the note in her hand and said to Nasha, "Chris is also in the Snow Country. It's a good opportunity for us to look for them together."
Kumandi said seriously, "Instead of being frightened, it's better to improve your strength as soon as possible."
The environment in the Snow Country is harsh and the living conditions are difficult. Without strong enough strength, it would be difficult to move forward.
Hector agreed: "We are the weakest among the Light Team. In order not to be a drag, we must become stronger."
Ace said: "Strive to become a magician within two years."
"Uh, two years?" Hector was stunned. "Isn't that a bit too difficult?"
It might be possible with the goblins' talent, but they are human! For a human to become an apprentice magician within two years is considered exceptionally talented.
It's outrageous to go from a magic apprentice to a magician in two years!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
