The fine white water mist slowly rose up, and the sound of the tea water colliding with the special utensils made by the elves sounded crisp and sweet, and those elf utensils that could be called handicrafts looked even more pleasing to the eye, making Regnar feel like a cat. He was scratching his head and thinking about how many gold coins he could sell for the two teapots if he stole them back.

"This is a drink made by our elves. It is also soaked with the leaves of plants. It is similar to your human tea, but the taste is a little different. Try it." Elon didn't know that the naughty kid in front of him was drinking. What obscene thoughts were there, he just introduced it to Regnar with the kind tone unique to the elders.

"Oh, thank you Elder Elon." During these two days of living in the elf tribe, I also learned that Elon is the most beloved elder in the tribe, and he is also an old man who is over five hundred years old. He is his grandfather's grandfather. Grandpa’s grandpa looks old.

So he looked very respectful in front of this old monster who had lived for five hundred years. Even if he was jealous, he didn't dare to do anything small. He just saluted Elon respectfully and made up his mind to be a good boy.

"Hmm..." When Regnar raised the cup and took a big sip, he realized how many times this drink had been used. It was difficult for the elf vessel to have such a good heat insulation effect.

In order not to be rude, Regnar swallowed the tea in one gulp, and then he felt as if he had swallowed a piece of red-hot charcoal. A hot stream of heat rushed straight from his throat to his stomach, making him His face turned red and white.

"Hahahaha, it tastes really good!" Regnar said vaguely, hanging his red tongue, which looked like a dog sticking out its tongue to enjoy the coolness in summer.

"Just like it." Elon did not expose Regner's embarrassment. He went on to introduce: "In addition to being very refreshing and refreshing, this drink also has a slight hallucinogenic effect on humans. If it cooperates with us, the Night Song Clan, The secret technique will open your own spiritual channel."

"Huh?" Regnar looked at the green liquid in the cup. He didn't know what Elon's intention was, but he wasn't overly nervous. If the elf really wanted to harm his party, he wouldn't have expended so much effort. Come to save Kordak. So, he quietly waited for Elon's next words.

"Spiritual power is a very mysterious force. It constitutes the mind of a creature and gives the creature the power to control magic. Likewise, it is also the key to opening the door of time, connecting a creature's past, present and... The future." Elon said with the light of magic in his hands: "So, kid, are you curious about your future? Do you want to take a peek at your future?"

"Okay... okay..." Regnar was now in a very confused state, and the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred. His eyes exuded a hollow light, and there seemed to be no focus on them.

After getting Regna's affirmative answer, Elon swayed the magic power in his hand, and the magic power gradually adhered to the thick mist coming out of the boiler, and Regna's eyes gradually focused there.

Regnar carefully stared at the white mist in front of him. The light of magic gradually transformed into familiar scenes in the white mist: the slums, Merindl, the old man, Irene, the bakery, the ocean, Mate Hans, and then Kordak, Silenos and Vera.

Although Regner's consciousness was a little blurry, he could still roughly tell that what he was seeing was the scene from the past, and sure enough, the red-blooded bears and orcs followed.

The scenes in the past were played back in just half a minute, and Regnar realized that what he saw next should be the scene in the future.

However, the light curtain became blurry at this moment. The scenes in the future were not as clear as the scenes in the past, but Regner felt something from the blurred scenes, including happiness, joy, heaviness, and sadness.

And in the end, a surge of sadness and anger like a violent flood poured into Regnar's chest. This pain was so heartbreaking that even if Regnar didn't realize what happened, he couldn't help but feel it. Crying, this anger was so overbearing and decisive that it made Regnar feel that even destroying the entire world would not be able to quell his anger.

While Regnar stared at the mist, Elon looked at the young man in front of him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. He saw many expressions on Regnar's face, and Elon, who had been with humans for a long time, naturally knew what these expressions meant.

Suddenly, Elon suddenly noticed that Regnar's expression had completely changed, and along with the change in his expression was his entire temperament. The original Regna gave him a gentle and relaxed feeling, but now the Regna felt like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, cold and lonely.

Elon stared at Regnar's eyes quietly. After confirming the change in the color of his eyes, Elon sighed softly. He softly recited a spell, and the light of magic flashed. After entering Regnar's body, after doing all this, Elon waved away the illusion spell.

"I... what happened to me just now?" Regnar's eyes gradually became clearer, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in confusion.

"You saw a vision of your future, kid," Elon said.

"Really? But why don't I remember anything?" Regnar tried his best to adjust his emotions. Although he had exited the hazy environment, Regnar still felt the fluctuations of his inner emotions.

"But you should have felt it, right? The changes in your emotions."

"Yes, Elder Elon, what do these mean?"

Elon shook his head: "I don't know, prophecy is a very vague and mysterious thing. These illusions you see can be called some kind of prophecy, but what they symbolize is difficult to explain, because the prophecy itself It points to many possibilities. But kid, I feel the emotion in you. I don’t know what will happen in the future to make you so sad and angry, but I hope you can face this bravely in the future. everything."

"Thank you, Elder Elon, I will be brave." Regnar nodded.

Elon took a deep look at him and said: "Remember my child, true bravery is not fearlessness based on ignorance, but the ability to still have a firm attitude when you truly see the darkness and sin of the world. Faith believes in the existence of light and goodness.”

"Regna will always remember your teachings." Regnar tasted Elon's words carefully, and then said respectfully.

Kordak looked at the dreamlike elven tribe in front of him, feeling a little lost for a moment. When he woke up from the coma, he realized what he was about to face, but he didn't have much resistance to it. At least he survived. Is there anything else he could ask for

"Is the injury healed?" Vera looked at the dazed Kordak and walked forward and asked.

Although Kordak was not as depressed as expected, Vera still carefully observed Kordak's mood and gave him a few words of advice from time to time, for fear that he would fall into some psychological knot from which he could not escape.

Kordak moved his thick arms, nodded and said, "That's almost it. The effect of the elven secret technique is really hard to say."

"We owe them a lot this time." Vera looked at the elves dancing under the moonlight and said: "If it weren't for them, I'm afraid the end of the three of us would not be pretty. It's really thanks to them this time. .”

"Yes, thanks to them. But it's time for us to leave," Kordak said.

"Leaving so soon? Is your injury okay?" Vera was surprised.

"I don't have much of a problem anymore, don't forget..." Kordak said with a hint of self-mockery on his face: "I now have a recovery ability comparable to that of a werewolf.",

"Kordak, you..." Vera wanted to comfort her, but Kordak waved her hand to stop her.

"Okay, mother-in-law, I'm not so fragile that I need someone to comfort me. Don't worry. But in two days it will be the day of the full moon. You also said before that the elves have helped us a lot, so I don't want to There's a lot of commotion here," Kordak explained.

"But, if it's just me and Regnar, I'm worried that I won't be able to control you. If you stay here, maybe the elves can find a way to let you spend that night safely." Vera said.

Kordak thought for a moment and replied: "Just tie me to a tree. I have already thought about it. We will leave here tomorrow and stay in Yesong Forest for two more days. We will go back after that night." Meteor City.”

"Tie you to a tree? This..." Vera found it a bit unacceptable to use this method to deal with Kordak.

"There's nothing wrong with it, Vera, if you don't want my hands to be stained with your blood, then do this. This... can be considered a request from me." Kordak said sincerely.

"Then why don't you spend it here? There are trees here too, and I can tie you up for a day and a night." Vera didn't understand.

Kordak looked at the elves who were handsome and simple-minded, and shook his head: "Because I want to be a human, even a cunning and despicable human in the eyes of the elves. I don't want to become a bloodthirsty and violent human in the eyes of these elves." Beast. Moreover, we can’t stay here forever. One day, you and Regnar will be the only ones to face that kind of night with me. Instead of struggling here to delay its arrival, it’s better to let us do it as soon as possible. To get used to it all.”
