Elf Ranger Lin Fan

This world has never been gentle, and the past history was even darker.

What is the relationship between elves and humans?

Jackie didn't know, he might know the present, but he never knew the past.

The search for Manafei ended in this way.

After waking up, Manafei had a few exchanges with everyone, but there was nothing left to say. When Jackie said that his friend needed Manafei's help, Manafei also nodded and was willing to help. He just hugged My own egg followed everyone along the way, without saying a word, without saying a word.

It was as if it wasn't this weak elf who exchanged minds with everyone in Yakusha.

Holding up the transparent diaphragm, he left this once ancient treasure of civilization, Yakusha, with a group of rangers and Kuna who were suffering from illness.

Even though nearly a week had passed, Jackie still remembered the complicated look in Manafi's eyes when he looked back at Yakusha.

Regret, pain, nostalgia, and many things that cannot be explained clearly.

But only without negative emotions such as hatred, this situation made Jackie feel that his guess was wrong, quite outrageously wrong.

Originally, Jackie thought that this strange silence would last until he saw Lin Fan, and then Manafi left, but this late at night, the knock on the door changed this established fact in his heart.

Jackie, who was lying on the bed, was interrupted by the knock on the door. His guess about the People of Water and Manafei was interrupted. He got off the bed and opened the door.

Only Jackie, the old sailor, Yun Jin, and Guangmei were left on the whole boat.

Ling Feng and the others came, and then left immediately. None of the things that Jackie expected had happened, and they had nowhere to help. They have weird attitudes, but they also can't care too much. Whether it's the three members of Ling Feng's family or Zhou Hesen, they all have their own things to do.

Kuna left too, disembarking the small cruise ship at a small port near an island in the Hezhong area.

What he originally promised was to help Jackie find Manafi, but now that the goal has been achieved, the question about Manafi will be left to Lin Fan and Jackie.

But now that the small cruise ship is still moving forward, it won't be the old sailor who came looking for him, and the only ones who could be Yunjin or Guangmei.

However, when he opened the door, he didn't see anyone he expected, only an elf holding an elf egg floating in mid-air, those pure sapphire-like eyes looked at him with a gloomy expression. Jackie opened the door.

"Manafi?" Jackie looked at the little elf suspiciously, but he still let the door open and put the miserable-looking little guy into his room.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to me?" Jackie sat down on the bed and looked at Manafi, who was holding an egg beside him, like some kind of rare treasure.

【Fiona, she... can't do it anymore. ] Manafi passed on the recitation to Jackie, and at the same time tightly hugged the egg in his arms, 【My child. She is going to die. 】

"What?" Jackie frowned, "How is this possible? Egg has been well protected by Guangmei and hasn't suffered any harm. How can you say no?"

[She was originally a child who would die young, and the ancestors of the people of water are constantly working hard to find various ways to help her. ] Manafei sat on the soft quilt dejectedly, while Jackie, who could feel the innermost emotions of the water elf, could feel it very clearly.

The little elf next to him, who seemed to have just grown up, felt the pain deep in his heart.

It was a parent's heart-piercing powerlessness and hatred for their own child who was about to die but could do nothing.

Hate yourself for being powerless and weak.

"Can you tell me, what is the relationship between you and the people of the water?" Jackie looked at Manafi beside him, and he understood that after the elf came out of the crystal in the temple of Yakusha , the first time I found out why Guangmei held the egg in her arms and refused to let go.

【I used to be the god of the people of water. 】Manafi looked sideways at Jackie, and pulled out a heartbreaking smile, 【The people of the water used to have the power to communicate with the water elves, and the first royal family of the people of the water is you The ancient ancestors, while fishing at sea, found me, exhausted after giving birth, and my child. 】

[Fiona was already dying at that time, but the people of the water saved my child with their own efforts, just because they feared my power and were afraid that Fiona's death would make me vent my anger and still be alive. Quite weak water people. ] Manafei is obviously trapped in ancient and distant memories, 【But Fiona is still on the verge of dying. And I am exhausted because of giving birth to a child, and there is no way to save Fiona, so I can only ask for help to your ancestors. 】

[I taught them how to farm, how to catch aquatic products more efficiently, and how to treat elves kindly. The people of water are an ancient human being with a lot of learning ability and enthusiasm. 】

[I give them the power to control water, to civilize their intelligence and thoughts, and the people of water promise that they will do everything they can to protect Fiona and find a way to heal her until they are powerless to protect Fiona. Ona, or Fiona could no longer heal. I've been in a deep sleep since then. 】

Jackie stared blankly at the little elf beside him. No matter how petite his body was, he couldn't hide it. The elf beside him had lived thousands of years.

[I slept for a long, long time, so long ago that the settlement of less than a hundred people named Yakusha by the people of water turned into a magnificent city that could not be completed by manpower, and then the city was destroyed, and the people of water were scattered. Kusha sank into the deep sea, and I was sealed in that temple unknowingly. 】

[At first I felt quite angry, I felt that I had been deceived, but there was nothing I could do, and the power was also passing away with time and seals, so I could only sleep again. 】

[Later, a thousand years later, intermittently, some people of water came to Yakusha in the deep sea, but I couldn't even do anything, once they passed through the light film propped up by my escaping power , I will die immediately, I am angry enough, slowly turned into loss, into despair, and finally numb into a kind of speechless loneliness. 】

【I watched those humans rushing into Yakusha like moths to a flame, and after waking up from a deep sleep of death, they turned into dry bones, not even bones left, leaving only a pile of powder, I began to pray, I hope that the people of water can live after entering Yakusha, come to me, and then tell me what happened when I was sleeping, so that the people of water with power are completely separated and their inheritance is severed. My child, What the hell. 】

"Until I came, here we are." Jackie looked at the elf beside him, and couldn't help reaching out and gently stroking Manafi's head.

[Yes, you are here, but you are as ignorant as the first water people I saw back then. ] With a self-deprecating wry smile, Manafi lightly rubbed his head against Jackie’s warm palm, 【But at least, even though the people of water have cut off their inheritance, they still continue to come. I came to Yakusha, and you brought my children with me. It was only then that I realized in an instant that I had never been betrayed. Relying on some conjectures and guesses, that promise has been fulfilled until today, nearly 2000 years later. 】

"But we still couldn't do anything in the end." Jackie looked at the egg in Manafi's hand, "We couldn't save your child, sorry."

"At least, during the last short period of parting, I may be very lucky to be able to meet my child again." Manafi raised a hand, and gently pressed it on the place where Jackie was stroking his head. on the back of the hand.

"How long do you think your child can last?" Jackie asked subconsciously.

"Probably, there are still five or six days left." Fiona sighed softly, and did not lose her temper because of Jackie's hurtful question.

What should be angry, what should be angry, what should be painful, Manafi has vented enough in that blue stone, for thousands of years, it has been completely enough.

It is now like a pool of stagnant water, quietly waiting for the final result to come.

"I don't want to give you unrealistic hopes, but if it's Lin Fan, maybe he really has something to do!" Jackie gritted his teeth and looked at Fiona, "If you can cure Lin Fan's eyes, Then maybe he really has the ability to save your child."

"Really?" Manafi looked at Jackie in disbelief.

"I can only say that there is some hope. After all, he and his team saved two elves that shouldn't exist in the world. If it was them, it might be possible." Jackie muttered to himself. , stood up and paced the room quickly. After a while, he made up his mind and looked at Manafei, "You should be able to make our next voyage calm, we are in a hurry!"

【I can do it! 】As if inspired by Jackie's determination at this moment, Manafei, who was originally a pool of stagnant water, also ignited the last glimmer of hope at this moment.

"We must rush to Daigan Island as soon as possible." Jackie muttered, and walked out of the room quickly.

Manafi, on the other hand, cooled down after the momentary excitement, and stopped abruptly when he originally wanted to catch up.

Fiona wasn't having any problems with eggs.

but longevity.

Since she was born by Manafei, she has changed into a life force that has been exhausted.

There is actually no way to revive Manafi, who is about to run out of vitality, by any means.

Unless, in exchange for the life of another creature.
