Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

According to Hall's expectations, after arriving at the haunted place of the undead, Allen and Eli should first accompany him to the Land of the End, unilaterally visit Lawrence, who may still not want to see him this year, and then return to " "On the right way" and headed to the Hall of the Lord of the Undead together.

However, the plan can't keep up with the changes, because the undead elders sent a letter before they set off, and they emphasized again that they hoped to go to them first when they delivered the keys. Children", that's why Allen adjusted his itinerary temporarily, and put the trip to the end of the land after visiting the undead elders.

Holborn was on the road with the two of them. Although he regretted not being able to see Lawrence immediately, he was also quite interested in the words spoken by the undead elders.

After greeting Allen, the elder named "Phoenix" then turned his attention to Hall: "You still seem to be in good condition."

"It's all thanks to you and the other elders." Hall said, bending down like Allen before, and politely saluted Elder Phoenix, "You are still so energetic."

At Hall's current age, there are very few people in this world who can be regarded as elders by him, and the undead elder in front of him happens to be one of them.

Back then, Huoershan was still alive, and he was the boy who caused a catastrophe. When Lawrence carefully brought him to meet the undead elders, the elder Phoenix was the one who met them first.

A gray robe that never seems to be changed, a soft and soothing tone of voice, and a divination that never makes mistakes.

Phoenix seems to be frozen in time at a certain moment. The years can't be said to have treated him preferentially, but it hasn't made him any older.

When Alan and Hall greeted the elder one after another, Eli stood quietly behind them.

Phoenix actually noticed this blond young man early in the morning - from his appearance, he really couldn't tell that he was carrying the blood of the undead, and from the energy induction among the same race, he couldn't detect that he was carrying the undead. Power.

This young man seemed to be a very gentle and polite person. When Alan greeted him first, Phoenix noticed that the other party was hesitating whether to salute with him, and then he talked to Hall himself. When Hall bowed and saluted , the other party actually bowed again in a daze.

So when Phoenix finally turned his attention to Eli and realized that the blond young man was about to "bow three times" to himself, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes tightened, and he couldn't help but smile a little deeper than before: "No, kid, you're going to hurry up!" Bow three times to me."

Eli didn't expect to be watched twice for his hesitation about saluting. He paused when he was about to bend his back, and straightened up in embarrassment.

He accidentally made eye contact with Alan who was looking back at him, and subconsciously turned his eyes away: "I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Elder Phoenix said pleasantly, "We are often either overrated in the legends, or written too evil in the 'outside' legends, and it is easy for the person who meets for the first time feel nervous."

His tone of voice was not only soft and gentle, but also seemed to have a certain rhythm. It was strange that Eli's flustered emotions just now calmed down with the words.

"Thank you," Eli said.

"You're welcome." Elder Phoenix smiled at him again, then waved his hand, signaling that the three people who were still standing in front of the magic circle should get closer to him, "You finally arrived here together, children."

"I thought you wouldn't use the word 'finally'." Hall joked.

"Why?" Elder Phoenix asked.

"Because 'finally' sounds a little urgent." Hall shrugged his shoulders not very solemnly, "And you can always accurately grasp the time when events happen, I thought you were always calm about everything, With confidence."

"I'm like this only most of the time." Elder Phoenix said unhurriedly, "When something is learned too early, and it takes a long time until it actually happens, anyone who changes it will inevitably sigh." finally'."

"Did we keep you waiting so long?" Hall raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I even postponed going to Lawrence."

"It's been a long time." Elder Phoenix answered Hall's words, but his eyes turned to Allen and Eli.

Those gray eyes that seem to be able to see everything look quiet and deep. Two beams of deep gaze cast out from inside, looking at the two young people with one black and one golden hair: "I knew you more than 30 years ago. We will come here together one day."

"I've been waiting for more than thirty years. Tell me, how long is this time?"

"...you said, 30 years ago?"

After a while, it was Allen who recovered from the impact of this sentence first. He believed that his ears heard correctly, but he couldn't help but say it when he asked back, as if he had to say such a sentence to express his shock.

Elder Phoenix nodded slightly, but when Allen wanted to continue asking, he raised the corner of his robe and turned around.

"Let's go, I know you still have a lot of doubts, but before answering them one by one, shouldn't we go in?"

"There are other people waiting to see you inside, even if you just say hello one by one, it will probably take a lot of time."

Allen had no choice but to keep up with Phoenix, who was still as steady as a young man. Before he took a step, he turned his head and looked at Eli. He lowered his head, as if he was concentrating on studying the pattern, showing him the top of his hair, only his feet followed him forward.

"..."

It was difficult to explain what kind of emotion floated across my heart at that moment, Allen paused slightly, turned his head without saying a word, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Eli followed behind him with his head down, feeling that he had turned his head away, so he raised his eyes calmly, and looked at the back of his head like a thief.

He probably doesn't know how to face me now—this idea exists in the minds of both of them at the same time, but the difference in personality determines the difference in their coping methods.

One intends to take the initiative to bring everything back to the past, while the other is carefully backing down, thinking that it would be better to reduce contact first to avoid embarrassment.

Hall watched the stiff interaction between the two, and didn't know how to promote this relationship. He glanced at Elder Phoenix unexpectedly, and saw that the old man seemed to be looking at Alan and Eli thoughtfully.

"Yes!" Hall thought.

While Alan and Eli entered the hall and met with other elders waiting in the hall, Hall quietly slipped to Elder Phoenix's side.

"Do you still have a place for private divination today?" Hall whispered.

Elder Phoenix glanced at him and sighed: "Not counting you and Lawrence."

"Not counting." Hall laughed. He raised two fingers and pointed in a certain direction without looking back, "I'm begging for this side."

Phoenix was supposed to be relieved that Hall finally didn't ask the other party and Lawrence today, but he glanced in the direction of his finger, and he still felt a deep helplessness.

"You just think I'm bored with idleness," said Hall.

"I don't need to be, you have been too idle these years." Phoenix shook his head.

He swallowed back a "but", feeling that it is better not to talk about some things for the time being, they still lack a little time, so he just compromised: "Well, today's quota is indeed still available."

Hall nodded repeatedly.

Elder Phoenix first glanced at the two young people again: "But they are destined to be inseparable. In fact, it doesn't matter, the trajectory of the stars will not deviate too far in the end."
