Chapter 100 Quick Guide to the God of Elements (XV)
The fatigue from the final battle came over me like a tide, and I dragged my heavy steps back to my residence.
My elemental power is almost drained, and I need to recover as quickly as possible to prepare for the final battle.
After a quick wash, I sat cross-legged on the bed and tried to mobilize the remaining elemental power in my body. However, the energy in my body was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stir up a ripple.
Has my strength run out? I couldn't help but feel a little hopeless.
At this moment, an exquisite envelope appeared on the bedside. I picked up the envelope with doubt and found a blooming black mandala flower printed on it, which was the emblem of the Morpheus family.
My heart moved. Could it be him?
I couldn't wait to open the envelope and pull out the letter. The familiar beautiful handwriting came into view. In the letter, Morpheus invited me to have dinner at her castle tonight.
Surprise, amazement, and an indescribable joy spread in my heart. Since arriving in the Elemental Realm, Morpheus and I have fought side by side and experienced countless life and death tests, but the time we have spent alone is very little.
"Morpheus..."
I whispered his name, and his absolutely beautiful face and his bottomless black eyes appeared in my mind.
"Zi'ang, are you there?"
The old wizard's hoarse voice sounded outside the door, interrupting my thoughts.
I put away the letter, got up and opened the door. "Old wizard, why are you here?"
The old wizard walked into the room, with a hint of worry in his cloudy eyes. "I heard that Morpheus invited you to a banquet."
I nodded and waited for his next words.
"Zi'ang, you have to be careful, this could be a trap." The old wizard lowered his voice and said in a serious tone.
"No one can guess what Morpheus is thinking."
I was shocked. The old wizard's words made sense. Although Morpheus fought alongside me, his sickly and sinister personality was always beyond my comprehension.
"I see. Thank you for your reminder."
I took a deep breath and said firmly, "But I'm still going. I believe I can handle any situation."
I looked out the window. The setting sun had dyed half of the sky red. From the direction of Castle Morpheus, it seemed as if an invisible force was calling me...
I changed into a clean suit and carefully put the envelope into my pocket. The old wizard's reminder echoed in my ears, but I had already made up my mind.
To me, Morpheus is like a mystery that attracts me to keep exploring. I believe that this dinner will allow me to understand him better.
Just as I was about to go out, Alice and Weasley suddenly appeared at the door, with worry on their faces.
"Zi'ang, I heard that you are going to accept Morpheus' invitation?" Alice asked with a hint of anxiety in her tone.
I nodded. "Yes, he invited me to dinner at his castle tonight."
"This is too dangerous!" Weasley couldn't help but say
"Morpheus's mind is treacherous and unpredictable. It's too risky for you to go alone."
Looking at their worried expressions, I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
"Thank you for your concern, but I have made my decision."
I paused and said firmly, "If I were really in danger, you wouldn't be able to help me, right?"
Alice and Weasley looked at each other and seemed to understand my determination.
Finally, Alice sighed, "Well, since you insist, we will go with you."
"What?"
I looked at them in surprise, "This is not good, Morpheus only invited me..."
"Do you think we can trust you to take risks alone?" Weasley interrupted me. "One more person means one more guarantee."
I looked at their determined eyes and finally nodded. I knew they were worried about my safety and I couldn't refuse their kindness.
As night fell, the three of us set out towards Morpheus's castle.
The castle looked particularly eerie under the moonlight, and the surrounding trees were like snarling monsters, casting shadows.
My hands involuntarily tightened around the weapon at my waist, and a sense of uneasiness rose in my heart.
The castle gate was open, and we walked in and found that Morpheus had been waiting for us for a long time. He was wearing a black suit, and his golden curly hair shone in the candlelight, like an elf in the dark night.
There was a faint smile on his face, but his black eyes were shining with an elusive light.
"Welcome, my friends."
Morpheus' voice was as sweet as the sound of nature, but there was an imperceptible chill in his words.
The table was filled with rich food, but the atmosphere was very strange. I noticed that Morpheus' fingers were tapping lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, as if he was playing a strange piece of music.
“He really is like a big boss.”
"Please take a seat, everyone."
Morpheus said this with a smile, but he did not pick up his chopsticks. He just looked at us quietly...
The three of us sat down at the long table, and the atmosphere was as strange as I expected. Morpheus's eyes moved back and forth between me, Alice, and Weasley, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Zi'ang, I heard that you performed very well in the arena. I wonder if I can see it for myself?"
Morpheus picked up a glass of wine with his slender fingers and shook it gently, while looking straight at me.
My heart skipped a beat, and I calmly picked up the glass, "Big brother, you are joking. I am just an ordinary person, how can I say that I have any skills."
"oh?"
"Makabaka"
Macabaka treated Morpheus as his master. Morpheus raised his eyebrows and said, "But the old wizard praised you highly, saying that you are an elemental genius that only appears once in a century. How about this, let's play a game?"
"Nonsense, everyone says you are a genius"
I could sense Alice and Weasley getting nervous, but I smiled and said, "What game?"
Morpheus put the wine glass to his lips and took a sip. "How about we compete in the control of the elements?"
I knew that this was his temptation, and if I performed too well, it would inevitably arouse his suspicion. I pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then agreed reluctantly.
In the following time, Morpheus kept changing his tricks to test my strength, and I countered his moves, cleverly hiding my true level.
However, in a seemingly casual conversation, I caught a flash of loneliness in Morpheus' eyes. At that moment, I felt that he was not just a deep-minded yandere, but that he seemed to have hidden fragility deep in his heart.
After dinner, Morpheus asked me to take a walk alone. Alice and Weasley looked at me with concern, but I agreed.
The night was as cool as water, the moonlight was shining like silver, and we walked side by side in the castle garden.
"You know what, Ziang,"
Morpheus suddenly stopped and turned to look at me. "You look very familiar to me the first time I saw you. Maybe there will be something different between us..."
"Really? What's the matter?"
"Zi'ang, do you believe in fate in this world?"
Morpheus asked suddenly, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
I looked at him with mixed feelings. “I believe there may be guidance for who I will meet and what will happen.”
"You are different, you will give this world"
Morpheus muttered to himself, and then suddenly grabbed my hand, "Come with me, there is something I want you to know..."
He took me through many twists and turns, through the garden path planted with roses, and into a forest behind the castle. The moonlight was fragmented by the lush branches and leaves, and the air was filled with a strange, intoxicating fragrance.
"What do you want me to know?"
I stopped and looked at Morpheus's profile, which was a little blurry in the moonlight.
He turned around, the moonlight cast a layer of silver on his face, and his eyes, which always had a hint of playfulness, were now unusually serious.
"The Satanic organization is much more dangerous than you think. They have been looking for people like you to train you to be their successor."
“I don’t understand what you are saying.”
It was hard to tell whether his words were true or not, and I couldn't completely believe them, but the slight doubt in my heart gradually dissipated.
"Then why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"Because……"
Morpheus hesitated, his eyes flickering, "Because I need your help."
I was about to ask more, but I saw him suddenly take a step back, his expression turned fierce, "Zi'ang, are you willing to fight me?"
“It’s really weird.”
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly made such a request.
