Lotte will not give up easily. He followed Burris closer than they usually walked. Burris didn't say no, he didn't want to throw a tantrum like a teenager.
And... is there anything worth losing your temper with? Has anyone done something wrong? It is a good thing that the Lord of Skeletons helps others during the short period of seven days of freedom. He hopes that the other party can help him break the curse, which is completely understandable.
Standing on the deck, Burris couldn't help but blame himself: Why have you become so shallow? You are so old, why is your character becoming more and more childish
I heard that people will change when they get old. People who are mature and calm may become nagging and worrying. Boris has never believed it, because he himself has not become that way, and neither have the few people of the same age he knows... Now it seems that maybe he has changed, and he has changed unconsciously.
But it doesn't seem right... Now I'm twenty years old!
Burris twirled his hair unconsciously, and began to think whether the changes in his body would affect his personality or something. Maybe his mentality fluctuates easily and he becomes younger...
Lott has been following Burris. After staring at the mage for a long time, he finally couldn't help it: "Boris, I've been waiting, why don't you ask me?"
Boris turned his head blankly: "Ask what?"
"You gotta ask me to give you an explanation! When I start explaining, you tell me 'I don't want to hear it' and I get a chance to hug you or kiss you or something so I can go on Go on."
Burris shivered and wrapped his new clothes around him a little tighter. The sea breeze is a bit cold. If it stays this cold, he plans to go to the cabin to add another cloak...
Lot stared at him sincerely, waiting for his answer.
"Say it," Lott urged.
what did I say? ! I can't even speak anymore! Boris shouted silently in his heart.
"Then let me tell you directly." Lott had no choice but to give up the first few steps, seemingly a little disappointed, "From the seven days when I met you, push forward a hundred years, and during the last seven-day vacation, I appeared I met Movia in the area of Quentilia. You know, before I completely break free from the curse, my power is relatively complete. At that time, I don’t need to use my mouth to cast spells, and I can’t fly faster than walking Slow... At that time, I was flying across the sea and encountered a storm.
"I don't mind lightning and thunder, but not a small boat at sea. I have never tried to save a boat from a storm. I don't know what to do. When I was hesitating, the boat capsized. There was only one sailor on board. It's Morvia. When I pulled him out of the waves, he was already passed out... Yes, I was flying in the sky, I flew and dived to save him! The bottom of the sea lifts people up!
"Then I took him to Sushi Island, which happened to be where he set sail. I saw something like a lighthouse, and there was a beach not far from the tower, so I took the elf to the beach. I hid When I was "convenient" behind the rock, someone came over on the beach. It was not an elf, but a middle-aged human. He picked up the elf, and my mission was over.
"After that, I changed into a human form, which is what I am now, and wandered around the island for a while. During this period, I heard about the identity of the elf, knew his name was Movia, and asked a lot about His gossip. Back then, his mother lived on land for a while, and one day she came back to the island pregnant. It is said that his father’s family was very closed and refused to accept the island elves, so he expelled her... What’s worse is , his mother died of illness shortly after giving birth, leaving only a blond, white-skinned Morvia whose skin is said to look more like his father. When the elves on the island talk about him, their tone is always full of ridicule and rejection , I guess he probably had a hard time when he was a child.
"When he was almost an adult, a human mage appeared on Sushi Island. It seemed to be called Finney or something. He had a good relationship with the elves, and finally built a mage tower and settled on the island. That tower It is the 'lighthouse' I saw on the beach, that is, the Tower of the Abyss. Morvia has always yearned for that mage, he wants to be an apprentice, he wants to learn magic, he wants to serve that human being for a lifetime...but he can't find it Chance.
"Later, he heard that the mage lacked a kind of fish bones for medicinal materials, and he knew which sea area had that kind of fish, so he borrowed a small boat and went to sea. His sailing skills were very bad, and his physical strength was not good enough. Observation is also very touching, so he almost died in the storm.
"Think about it this way. He was a blessing in disguise... He was rescued by me, and he was carried back to the tower by the human mage, and then he lived with the human mage logically..."
"Being an apprentice is not the same as living together..." Burris originally wanted to watch the sea view quietly and didn't want to interrupt, but he couldn't control it.
After getting Boris' response, Lott became even more interested in speaking: "Anyway, the human mage agreed to let him stay. The second time I met him, he returned to the hut left by his mother and was planning to get some daily necessities Take it away. Before he took his things far, a group of fishermen suddenly surrounded him. The boat that Movia borrowed belonged to them. Now that Movia was saved, the boat was buried in the bottom of the sea. This is a big deal for the fishermen. Loss.
"Movia promised to compensate them, and he took out everything in the luggage and let them take it away at will... It's not me, this elf is really poor, the most valuable thing on him at that time was a quill And a bottle of ink, really.
"Originally, the fishermen planned to take away the IOU, but there were a few young elves who were narrating and fanning the flames for fear of chaos in the world. Seeing that they were about to attack the poor Movia... So I rescued him for the second time. he.
"I did a little trick to scare away those elves. They all knew that Movia wanted to be a mage, and they thought it was Movia who cast the spell. This time, I officially appeared in front of Movia and spoke to him for the first time. .We chatted for a while, and finally I asked him to help me find something in the tower."
"His tutor's book?" Burris asked.
"Yes. While wandering around the island, I sensed a very ancient item in the Tower of the Abyss, possibly from before the plane was cut off. There may be clues to the curse on this ancient item. I can't go to the tower in person Go, although the protection of the mage tower is nothing to me, doing so will probably scare that human to death... and cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.
"So Movia promised to keep an eye on it for me. He said that because I saved him, this is what he should repay me. The next day, I met him at the appointed place, and he said that there was indeed such a thing , is an ancient parchment book. We sat down and chatted for a long time, and finally he promised me that he would bring that book out for me. Of course, I will not take it away, I just want to read it.
"But... He didn't bring the book out in the end. Later he came to me crying, saying that his mentor had found a strange undead breath in him... At this time, I had the last day left, and I gave my true identity I told him. I also told him, don’t be embarrassed if you really can’t get the book out, I will go to the tower to read it by myself tonight.
"He disagreed with life and death, saying that this would make him suspicious by the mentor, and begged me not to ruin his newly recovered life... In fact, what he said is also reasonable, and I don't really want to be discovered by that human mage. Human mages have They may regard me as a major discovery, and they may even tell the world that they met me. I can't kill him to silence him... I don't want to be regarded as a monster that resurrects every century.
"Before the seventh day came, Movia read some historical materials and religious books all night. He learned more about my identity and even made a special trip to find me, vowing to help me undo the curse. He said he was an elf with a long lifespan , There are many opportunities. In the future, he will definitely devote his whole life to research, find the Swamp of the Dead as soon as possible, and find a way to release me. As you know, he quickly put this matter behind him."
Boris chuckled and couldn't help but said, "My lord, it's actually normal for people to leave this kind of promise behind. It's understandable."
"But you're different," Lott said. "You just did it."
"Well. So, you waited for him for a hundred years, and you found that there was no hope, so you chose me again. Then I spent more than sixty years, and finally found you."
Lott asked in a low voice: "Dear Boris... Are you jealous?"
Boris shook his head: "Why would I be jealous of a mage who is not as capable as myself? If he is jealous, he should be jealous of me."
"It's not a question of who is good at spells," Lott said apologetically, "I misunderstood you and disappointed you. You thought I was lying to you, that I confessed my heart to every mage...but I didn't."
As he spoke, he supported the mage's shoulders, "Boris, you are different from others. Let me tell you, I have confessed my identity to eleven people, and they all promised to break the curse for me, including you , you are the last time. The first ten times are not the same as the last time. In the first ten times, I met them, talked and helped each other. They live together.
"I never tried to kiss them, I never tried to love them, I never went back to the Swamp of the Dead and continued to miss them. I have been separated from people many times, and the only one that really pained me was when Sander The time when the Nigerian border left you. Yes, I have expected eleven times, but the last time is the only one that really makes me think about it day and night."
Burris could not utter a word.
He didn't know whether he believed it or not, and he didn't know if Lott was right... He didn't know how to answer, how to understand, or how to deal with it...
It wasn't that he didn't respond on purpose, he really had a blank mind.
For example, when an eighty-year-old farmer comes into contact with magic for the first time, he will be shocked, at a loss, and a little frightened. He would silently think: maybe young people still have the possibility to take a risk, but I can't, how can I cope with this
The old farmer could neither deny the existence of magic nor accept it well. So he just runs away from it, doesn't think about it, and if he's unlucky, runs away until the end of his life.
If it was the first time for an eighty-year-old mage to come into contact with the so-called envy... the reaction would probably be the same.
When Boris's head was empty, the distant port was clearly visible, and the ship was about to arrive at Sushi Island.
Lot gently took the mage to his side: "Boris, I'm sorry, I made you unhappy. But to be honest, I am a little happy again. I know you have never been in love in your life, and you can't handle it... so you have been Don't respond to me positively. I understand this and I accept it because this is the real you... This time I'm actually a little bit happier, this time I got a very intuitive response."
Speaking of this, he paused and asked, "Uh, Burris, do you want to go back to the cabin?"
"What?" The mage, who was staring at the distance in a daze, finally responded.
"You feel cold. The sea breeze is indeed a bit cold now, let's go back to the cabin, or I'll go find another piece of clothing."
Burris has been feeling cold since just now. The gray mountain spirit's island is hot and humid, but it is windy near Sushi Island.
These islands are all within the range of Quintilia. How could Quintilia be so cold in this season
He raised his head, just in time to see the Tower of the Sea Abyss in the distance. It stands on the edge of a promontory, with a steady magical light emanating from the top of the tower.
This light is so conspicuous that it can probably be seen throughout Suhi Island and the surrounding waters. It is very soft and not dazzling, melting into the sun during the day and like a bright moon at night.
At dusk, the light is most conspicuous. When the sky is fiery red, it is the only cool color in view.
