"What?!" When Elon said this, not only Vera and Kordak, but also Alex, who had been standing by and behaved respectfully, couldn't help but look in shock. expression.
"Elombatar is just a human name I gave myself." Elon explained with a smile: "My elf name is Elon Crescent Shadow, so the child's real name is not actually the Deep Shadow of Veles. But the Shadow of the Crescent Moon of Villes. He is... "
"What is it?" Kordak, Vera and even Alex had three words written on their faces - please gossip.
When Elon said this, his old face suddenly turned red. He hesitated before speaking: "He is the child of me and my wife, a half-elf woman."
"Oh~~~!" The three people responded in unison. If Elon had not traveled to the human world, this strange voice would have been enough to defeat a dull and shameless elf.
"Then what, then what?" Vera couldn't help but ask. As a woman, gossip comes from the nature in their blood. And now she is facing the president of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, who may be the most secretive person in the entire Lance continent! Naturally, she wanted to know more about the inside story.
"Hey! Vera!" Kordak's face turned green when he saw Vera's performance. Damn, this woman is going crazy. This woman is really desperate! That's Villeless! He is not an ordinary kind-hearted and innocent elf! Is it really okay to know his embarrassing story? Aren't you afraid that one day the president will find out about it and he will ask someone to silence you
"For your safety, I think it's better not to tell you about this." Elon smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Elon, you're really trying to whet people's appetites like this without saying anything..." Vera was going crazy, and Kordak beside her was even more crazy. As for Alex, he was also aware now. It seemed that he knew something he shouldn't know, so his expression was as bad as Kordak's.
"Okay, this is my fault, but... I really can't tell you..." Elon still shook his head firmly. Isn't this nonsense? His son's embarrassments must be related to his father. No matter how kind Elon is, he won't reveal all his embarrassments and let others laugh, right
"So, Sir Elon." Kordak took this opportunity to quickly guide the topic: "Why are you looking for us? Is it related to Vera?"
"Yes, Miss Vera, please forgive me for being presumptuous." Elon walked up to Vera, and he slowly reached out and touched Vera's forehead. A ray of lavender light appeared from his index finger, and then disappeared into Vera's eyebrows.
Kordak didn't understand magic, so he didn't know whether Elon's move would hurt Vera. But Elon is his savior after all. Judging from past events, Kordak still feels that it is right to trust Elon. What's more, even if he doesn't believe it now, he can't. There is Alex on standby next to him. Even if he wants to resist, he can't defeat this Alex.
As for Elon, that’s even less certain! Kordak had been in a coma, so he didn't know what Elon's spellcasting was like, and there were many differences between the elven magic he cast and human magic, so Kordak would be even more difficult to estimate. Elon's depth.
But even so, Kordak still instinctively felt that the elf in front of him was unfathomable. reason? Maybe there is no reason, it's just Kordak's intuition developed through countless battles. If you insist on giving a reason, then his son is a Sanctuary Assassin, how can Elon, as my father, be any worse
Therefore, Kordak could only let Elon conduct some kind of magic test on Vera, and the only thing he could do was to pray that Elon really had no ill intentions towards the two of them.
After about a few minutes, Elon fell into deep thought.
"The structure of the magic circle has been basically understood. It is a variant of the pointing spell..." Elon thought secretly: "But modifying a sixth-level spell and adding additional spells to the magic circle can achieve the purpose of modifying the spell effect. …someone who can do this…”
Elon did not tell others what he was thinking. He thought carefully for a while, and then said to Kordak: "Mr. Kordak."
"What are your orders, Lord Elon?"
"Miss Vera is indeed hit by a spell. This spell is always lurking in Miss Vera's body. If it is not removed in time, terrible things may happen." Elon said.
"Then..." Kordak became anxious when he heard what Elon said, and he hurriedly said: "Please help Mr. Elon to help Vera remove this spell. Kordak will repay your kindness even if he is completely devastated. !”
"That's not necessary." Elon smiled and shook his head: "But you must agree to my request."
"any request?"
"Four of you, follow me back to the Elf Tribe in Nightsong Forest." Elon said calmly.
"Four people?" Kordak and Vera were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that Elon meant that they would bring Lanmir and his daughter with them.
"Yes, it will take a long time to remove the spell from Miss Vera, but I can't stay in the human world for too long. Therefore, I can only ask you to come with me to the Elf Tribe."
"As for the tavern, you don't have to worry about it." Alex added at this time: "As long as you join the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, then this tavern will naturally be taken care of by our guild, and we will leave it intact. I will return the tavern to you."
"..." Kordak and Vera looked at each other, and then Vera asked, "How long will it take?"
"Two years, or more."
"Kordak..." Vera gave the decision to Kordak.
"We... can we go back and discuss it with Mr. Manhattan and the others? After all, this is a matter between four people." Kordak cautiously proposed.
"Of course." Elon agreed readily.
"Then... let's go back and discuss it with them." Kordak planned to retreat.
"Please, but please believe me, I really want to help you." Elon added at the end.
Kordak and Vera bowed to Elon and then left.
"My lord, why don't you tell them the truth?" Alex asked.
"I can't do it." Elon sighed: "I can't say that my child wants to harm you, so I want you to enter the elf tribe and accept my protection, right? Velez... after all, he is still my child."
"..." Alex was silent.
"It's you, kid." Elon turned to look at Alex with gentle and curious eyes: "Why didn't you follow Will's will? Isn't he the president you respect most?"
"The president has treated me with great kindness." Alex said calmly, the scene from twenty years ago appeared in his mind.
At that time, Alex had just been exiled to the Lance continent by the Stoke Empire. At that time, he was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. When he first arrived, he was hunted down because he broke the rules of the local gangsters. They planned to chop off Alex's hands and feet and throw them into the garbage dump to die.
But at that moment, Villeless suddenly appeared. He subdued everyone in the small thieves guild at the time, and then rescued Alex. After that, Verless and Alex conquered the small guild, and then led them to establish a new group called "Moon Shadow". The Thieves Guild.
From that moment on, Alex was extremely grateful to Villes. He was grateful not only for Villes for saving his life. What he was even more grateful for was that Villeless gave him a nest.
At that time, Alex felt like a wild dog that was hated by everyone. He offended a Stoke mage, so the Stoke people did not accept him. The Hawke Empire had just been established, and it was even more difficult for southerners. Extremely vigilant. In order to find a place to stay, Alex had no choice but to flee across the ocean to the continent of Lance. But here he also had bad luck, and almost died at the hands of a few gangsters.
Just when Alex felt that the world could no longer accommodate him, Villeless appeared. He created a space for Alex, a space that allowed him to breathe, eat, and sleep. In the eyes of others, it was a space that could not be more ordinary. The name of this space is the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
This is what Alex is most grateful for. Because of this guild, Alex feels that he is not abandoned by the world. Alex feels that he deserves to live in this world. Therefore, he has always followed Villes's will, and he can do it without hesitation no matter how despicable, vicious, dirty, or dirty it is.
Firstly, it was to repay Verles' kindness, and secondly, because Alex knew that everything Verles did would be beneficial to the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. And he, even if he died, wanted to protect this guild that gave him a home and warmth.
As long as a person still has a heart, there must be something that he cannot let go of even if he abandons everything else. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to become a human being again. Even Alex, who was despicable, cunning and sinister in Regnar's eyes, was no exception to this point. Because Alex is still a human being, a human being with a heart.
"So, I have served the President for twenty years." Alex continued: "In these twenty years, I have never disobeyed any of the President's orders, never. I think this should be enough to repay him. It’s a favor to me.”
"So what now?" Elon asked.
"Now, I want to live according to my own ideas, and I want to protect this guild according to my own ideas, as a guild member, not as the president's puppet. I think this is the only way..." Ah Alex touched his chest, where the heart was still beating firmly and powerfully, which seemed to give him encouragement. Alex said: "Only in this way can I protect my human heart." .”
"Human heart?" Elon murmured: "That child has been in your human world for so long, and I don't know how much he has learned..."
"..." Alex was silent. Villes was not in the guild at this time, and no one knew where he had gone. However, Alex instinctively felt that Velez was still planning something, and it was probably related to Regnar.
"I hope that kid is safe," Alex thought to himself.
