"Is this the so-called curse? So, how did it come about?"

After calming down, Ye Qimeng began to think about the subtle connections between these complex things:

First, Alexa's grandfather Byers designed to drive the earth elves out of the persimmon forest.

Then Byers asked the archmage Mylar to set up a barrier to completely isolate the recalcitrant earth elves from this place.

Finally, he asked the horse master to take the wild winged horses here for other use.

After this series of operations, what is obtained is inexhaustible wealth for generations.

As long as the mother tree remains, the fruits of these "victories" will eventually enter the pockets of Byers' descendants.

Ye Qimeng couldn't help but look at the magnificent manor facing the stone gate. Under those exquisite garden designs and magnificent palace buildings, they were carrying such a heavy truth.

"This curse comes from the magic of the sacred objects of the earth elves. Even though a hundred years have passed, my grandfather has long since passed away in loneliness and despair. They still have not let go of their hatred, and the curse still extends to us."

Alexa lowered her white skirt, covering her entire petrified calf. However, the fine embroidered lace still cannot block her unusually fair skin. She is indeed too beautiful to be true, and she is indeed about to become a beautiful "dummy" who has lost her freedom.

Ye Qimeng has gradually become familiar with her unique accent. Sometimes it is gentle and gentle, sometimes it is playful and humorous, but it still cannot conceal her good education and sincere enthusiasm.

After all, she is not a person like her grandfather, nor is she as difficult to get along with as the rumors say.

The story continues, but this time it’s the “curse” part.

Alexa's grandfather, Byers, was born in a small branch of the Anthony family, and was not in the spotlight of Colin Anthony, the most famous "Blue Blood Knight" in the family.

On the contrary, his father was just an ordinary guard under Duke White, and his father did not like his only son.

His mother died of a mysterious illness, which is extremely rare in the elven world. Because of the existence of magic and gods, almost no disease can cause the death of elves.

Byers' birth was seen as an ominous sign because his arrival was accompanied by the death of another older elf, his mother. This was known in the elf world as a birth curse.

At the same time, his father did not have the ability to take care of the elf child, so he just left it in the care of a little maid next to the duchess, and that little maid was just his father's one-night stand.

Byers' life in White Flame Castle was plain and boring. Growing up among women, he would secretly learn basic social skills from Duke White's women.

Although he has never received formal training in weapons or riding skills, he has a heart to become a blue-blooded knight.

Byars had met Colin in person, when he was still a young man hiding behind a stone pillar. Colin had already become the most glorious knight and was highly regarded by Duke White.

Colin had just finished the daily basic knight training that day and came to White Flame Castle to accept the summons from Duke White.

He was also wearing the silver armor used in battle. As his pace quickened, he made a loud friction sound, attracting onlookers from the female family members in the castle.

They hid behind the door and whispered about Colin's scandals and gossips, saying that he had both handsome appearance and outstanding riding skills.

But what Byears paid attention to was his handsome armor, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming an outstanding knight.

Byers went to ask his father to take him to training in riding and weapons.

Surprisingly, his father readily agreed to his request.

So he received basic training in weapons and riding skills, and due to his hard work day and night, he became a squire like his father at the age of eighteen and was sent to receive training from knights.

At first, he was just responsible for polishing Colin's armor and weapons, or always guarding his door.

Byars did all the trivial things very seriously and responsibly, which also attracted Colin's attention.

It wasn't until during a battle with humans that he designed to capture a senior enemy general that Colin looked at him differently.

"Kid, what reward do you want?" Colin said coldly, looking down at Byars, who was only as high as his shoulder.

Byers lowered his head piously and replied slowly: "Dear Mr. Knight, I want to become a blue-blooded knight."

He was not at all afraid of the tall blue-blooded knight in front of him, who might become the person he would challenge in the future. He just expressed his true thoughts without being humble or arrogant.

"Hahaha, kid, you are very brave, so let's see if you can persevere under my sword."

Unexpectedly, Colin was not angry because of this. Instead, he took out his silver sword that had been with him for many years and taught Baiers swordsmanship for a whole afternoon.

That afternoon, the sunlight was extremely dazzling, constantly reflected from the silver sword into Byers' sapphire blue pupils.

But he didn't dare to stop waving the sword with his right hand, nor did he want to stop.

Byers thought he would become a true blue-blooded knight under Colin, but everything stopped because of Duke White's mistake.

Rumor has it that Duke White was an anti-war opponent and was even ridiculed by Duke Hawke as a "subconscious collaborator."

I don’t know where Elf Queen Silina heard the rumors about Duke White. She became increasingly suspicious of his loyalty to the Elf Kingdom, and she continued to test Duke White’s attitude.

In order to test Duke White's reaction, Silina repeatedly sent Duke White's capable men and his relatives to the most dangerous border - the Serpent Strait.

In the end, Blue Blood Knight Colin did not escape this fate.

Before leaving, he handed his silver sword to Byars and asked him to protect the southern territory, the homeland that Colin once fought bloody battles for.

Colin, the once-famous blue-blooded knight, finally did not come back from the Strait of the Serpent.

According to survivors, he was hit by several arrows and fell into the sea to his death, with no bones left.

When Byers handed Colin's remaining silver sword into the hands of Duke White, there was no trace of pity or sadness on Duke White's face.

He didn't even want to take over the silver sword, because there were so many dead relatives and loyal servants, and he had already become numb to it.

In the eyes of Byers, this scene became Duke White's cold-blooded ruthlessness, and he vowed in his heart that one day he would replace Duke White and become the new master of White Flame City.

Byers believes that only by controlling all this in his own hands can he truly fulfill Colin's instructions before he left.

All this was the beginning of the disaster in Persimmon Fruit Forest and the origin of all curses.

After Byars gained wealth, he began to encroach on Duke White's territory.

He did everything he could, and ultimately caused Duke White to lose almost all of his property, which also resulted in Duke White not leaving much property to his daughter who was living outside the home, except for the ancestral servant Ella.

For a long time, Byars stayed in the palace he built in the persimmon grove.

He became the de facto master of White Flame City, but he was not very happy. He was even a little depressed, teasing these emotionless puppet servants all day long.

But he didn't know that the curse had already been laid the moment he expelled the earth elves - they used holy objects to curse them before leaving.

The earth elves love to make magic instruments and trade magic materials. Over thousands of years, they have cast many magic holy objects.

Maybe one or two of these things played a crucial role.

This led to the formation of this complex and inexplicable curse and the beginning of strange changes in Persimmon Fruit Forest.

At the beginning, the ordinary persimmon fruits produced by the mother tree contained several hundred points of magical cohesion, not to mention the fine persimmon fruits growing on the top of the mother tree, which was also an important reason why the persimmon fruits were so popular.

Gradually, customers began to complain that the magic cohesion content in the persimmon fruits was getting lower and lower, while the prices continued to rise. It was suspected that Byers had secretly extracted the magic cohesion content from the persimmon fruits.

However, after their investigation, they found that the magic cohesion content in the persimmon fruits that were still growing on the mother tree was far lower than the previous level.

However, they had no choice but to lower the price of persimmon fruits.

In the end, because the magic cohesion in the persimmon fruit was reduced to the lowest point, its value went from being hard to find to being uninterested, and it could only be sold as a cheap fruit.

Therefore, excess fruits are often given to the magical creatures in this forest to enjoy, such as the persimmon rats, the tribe to which Orange Peel belongs.

And these are not the most critical changes. The most fatal and unsolvable problem is that the bodies of Byars' two children, Alexa's father and aunt, began to petrify.

At the beginning of the petrification, they could not find the reason.

Byers searched for famous doctors and used force to seize the sacred objects of the earth elves, but he still could not make the petrification phenomenon disappear.

Until that day, Byears was at a loss and wandering around the manor, when he came to the stone gate by chance.

There seemed to be a voice calling him, leading him to find a small stone tablet that suddenly appeared in the corner of the stone gate.

The stone tablet is embedded inside the stone gate, so it is not easy to find. It is engraved with ancient elven writing.

At this moment, these unfamiliar words came to life before Byars' eyes and were poured into his mind:

The old guardians are forced to leave,

A new guardian will eventually come,

The earth elves lost their home,

The perpetrators lost their children.

When Byers passively memorized these four lines of text, the originally clearly visible handwriting became blurry, followed by familiar names:

Alva Anthony

Lucius Anthony

That night, the two sons and daughters of Byers walked out of the palace gate one after another and walked to the giant door built by the earth elves.

One was holding a bow and arrow, and the other was holding a long sword. They stood on both sides of the stone gate and looked directly at each other, and finally turned into stone.

The stone tablet was still changing quietly, and a new line of words gradually emerged:

The day and night are endless, and the curses are endless.

In this life, I dedicate myself here to the mother tree.

From then on, there was only daytime in the persimmon fruit forest, never night.

In the days that followed, Byers became increasingly crazier, and eventually died prematurely of an inexplicable illness.

After taking one look at it, Maillar just said, this is a heart disease and there is no cure.
