After doing all this, Elon's body became more transparent, and now he was more like a phantom than an entity.
"He was brought back to the Elf Tribe by me, and I can guarantee that within a hundred years, he will be in a deep sleep." Elon answered the questioning glances of the two people, and he smiled helplessly: "I have no confidence in this world. The interference has reached its limit, and the future depends on you, children."
"But what were you two talking about before?" Regnar couldn't help but ask. Although Villes seemed to have understood something, for Regnar and Annelotte, there was nothing but confusion at the moment. There are no other words to describe the state of both of them.
"I'm sorry, I no longer have the ability to answer your questions." Elon smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You need to piece together the truth yourself. After answering so many questions from Will, it is difficult for me to maintain own existence."
"Uncle Elon..." Although Elon is his father, equivalent to his grandfather, Regnar is still used to calling Uncle Elon. He said: "At least give us some reminders! Reminders within the rules!"
Because he met Garona and the inexplicable legendary mage from the Stoke Empire, Regnar could no longer complain about this guy who claimed that he had troubles that he couldn't tell. They seemed to be holding back so many secrets that they gathered together. There are whispers around you saying, "I have a secret, I have a big secret." And the most hateful thing is that after they say they have a secret, their second sentence is that they must never tell you! This feeling made Regnar extremely painful. So at this time, Regnar could only ask Elon to tell him as much as he could, and not to keep holding on to a secret all day like he was constipated.
"You can ask Mel these questions." Elon replied: "You may be able to get some answers through him. As for Will, he can only save his life by leaving all this, so I sealed him and let him go." He sleeps."
After Elon said this, his body became increasingly transparent. The elf elder seemed not surprised by this. He shrugged and said as if talking to himself: "It seems that it is really over. Hey, what does it matter? Anyway, I don't owe the world anything."
"Regna." Elon turned to Regnar and said: "Remember what I said to you for the first time, true courage is not based on fearlessness based on ignorance, but even if you have seen the real world, Despite the darkness, we still have the determination to believe that the light still exists.”
"Instead of caring about my change in mentality, you should be more concerned about my injury!" Regnar coughed up another mouthful of blood. He couldn't tell whether he was beaten by Villes or made angry by Elon.
"Miss Anne." Elon ignored Regner's complaints, but turned to look at Annelotte, and said, "You are the most courageous person I have ever seen, and also the most timid person I have ever seen. "
"..." Annelotte said nothing, but her eyes looked at Elon with a bit of confusion.
"You can face all the terrible things in this world without fear, but why can't you face your own heart?" Elon reached out and touched Annelotte's head as if touching his own daughter. Then, the figure of the Elf Elder who subdued the Sanctuary Assassin with a single move began to become more and more illusory.
Half a minute later, Regna and Annelotte could no longer see his hands waving goodbye to them and his expression of regret and heartache. Regnar knew that he had completely disappeared.
"Can you still walk?" Annelotte walked to Regnar and asked. Apart from scratches, there were no serious injuries on her body. On the contrary, Regnar not only had her ribs broken, but some of her internal organs were also shattered. The wounds were poked out by the stubble in his bones. If not treated in time, even a high-level assassin would be in danger of death.
"Uh..." Regnar thought for a while, then suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood: "I'm afraid... I really can't survive today..."
"Really?" As smart as Annelotte was, she naturally saw through Regner's poor acting skills at a glance. She smiled coldly and said, "In that case, I might as well let Irene and Yi Ni prepare the funeral arrangements."
"Hey! Annie, you are desperate to save me! I have made a meat pad for you after all!" If Regna's body was intact, he would be able to jump three feet high.
"snort!"
"Hey! Even if you don't carry me, at least give me a levitating technique! Do you know this is murder?!"
"snort!"
"Ugh! Ah! Ahem! Ugh!"
"snort!"
Although Annelotte had an unhappy look on her face, she still reached out and helped Regna up. The magic-forbidden seal imposed by Villes on himself has been loosened, and now Annelotte can barely cast low-level spells such as levitation.
Just as Annelotte supported Regnar and slowly returned to Merinder, someone's whisper seemed to be heard in the void: "Then... the biggest threat has been eliminated. Destiny has finally followed this path. Huh? Villes, I didn’t break my promise. Elon is completely dead, isn’t he? I have fulfilled my promise... Hum hum hum… "
When the half-disabled Regnar was brought to Irene, the half-elf girl was really shocked. But at this time, Irene was no longer the little girl who only hid behind Regnar and cried. With the perfect combination of magical and medical skills, Regnar's injuries recovered quickly. As for the secret Elon mentioned at the end, Regner and Annelotte did not immediately ask Mel.
After so many things, Regnar always felt that there were too many secrets buried during the founding war. As for those events back then, everyone has their own opinions. So in order to find out the truth of that year, Regnar realized that he had to clarify every detail of the matter. So when Regnar was recovering from his injuries, Annelotte often came to him to analyze the conversations between Villes and Elon, trying to deduce what Elon had experienced that year through their words.
Based on the information collected by Regner on a daily basis, as well as the conversations between Villes and Elon, Regner and Annelotte roughly sorted out the story about Villes and Elon:
More than a hundred years ago, Elon traveled from the continent of Lance to the continent of Chino. After meeting Verles's mother at the Stoke Imperial Academy of Magic, the two got married, and a few years later they gave birth to little Verles.
As a child, Verles had no talent for magic, so he eventually chose the path of a warrior, and after decades of hard work, he finally became a stand-alone assassin. In order to further improve his strength, Villes chose to leave his parents and go out for training.
During the training period in Verlais, about twenty years ago, Duke Merlin launched the Founding War. In order to avoid the war that year, the Elons finally chose to live in seclusion and disappeared without a trace. But after the Hawke Empire became independent, Elon and his wife were unexpectedly involved in a dispute. In that dispute, Elon unfortunately died, but before he died, he seemed to have learned a shocking secret.
In order to watch the world and prevent something from happening, Elon, with the help of his wife, the Archmage of the Necromancer, became what Veles called a heretic creature. The price for making Elon a heretic was probably the life of Villes's mother.
As for what a heretic creature is, it took Annelotte a long time to find the explanation of this word from an unknown magic book.
Simply put, every creature in this world has its own destiny, which is composed of countless choices and various amazing coincidences. The fate line of a living being begins at the beginning of his life and ends at the end of his life. This is the basic principle for the existence of all life in this world and the basic principle for the operation of destiny.
But there are also some lives that can still maintain their existence in this world even after their lives die and their fate ends. And this kind of life is the heretic beings - they are existences outside the original rules of this world. Precisely because they exist outside the original rules of the world, they will be more excluded and hindered in this world.
Among them, what is most prohibited by the original rules is interfering with the fate of others. This truth is actually very easy to understand. Communication, collision, and fighting between normal lives are all regular operations within the web of destiny composed of countless lives.
Just like a precision machine, the gears interact with each other to drive the operation of the entire machine. And if a heretic creature interferes with the destiny of normal people, it will be like a tooth in the machine called destiny moving inexplicably. And its unreasonable movement will undoubtedly affect the overall operation of the destiny machine, making the entire machine become more and more out of control.
Therefore, the original rules will punish those outsiders who affect the fate of others extremely severely. The greater the impact these heretics have on the world, the more severe the punishment they will receive. When necessary, the original rules will directly erase the existence of this heretic creature. This is also the reason why Elon didn't tell the truth until the end - once he told the truth, Villeless's fate would change dramatically. At that time, Elon himself will inevitably be erased by the original rules.
Of course, since outsiders are not products of the rules, they naturally have ways to fight against the original rules. To put it simply, it is power, powerful power. As long as the power of the outsider's life itself is strong enough, it can resist the original rules and maintain its own existence.
For example, Elon, because he was powerful enough, not only did he live in the Elf tribe for more than 20 years, bringing little influences to the tribe, but in the end, he was also able to reveal the secret to Villes, not only rewriting the Veles' fate also sealed Veles and forced him to sleep. This shows how strong his power is.
It's just that no matter how powerful Elon is, he still couldn't resist the punishment of the original rules in the end, and he completely turned into nothingness.
