God seal

"Bailey."

In the night, the elf looked at his comrades.

He was riding on a war horse brought from the Western Sea of ​​Trees, and behind him was a large army ready to go.

"Are you really not going with us?"

The assassin's black clothes almost blended into the night.

"No, the town has to be guarded, and the elves who follow you have to be taken care of, don't they?" As if he could see through Searle's mind, the assassin blinked at him, "Don't worry, the elves who stay here I will take good care of you. But you, Searle, I don’t know if the information brought by the orcs is true or not, so be careful.”

Searle nodded, and the other companions bid farewell to the assassin one by one.

Standing on the city wall and watching his companions go away, the assassin said with emotion: "I never thought that I would stay one day to protect a city, especially this city."

The elves behind him looked at him curiously and kindly.

The assassin joked: "This is the first time I met Searle here. At that time, we almost fought with the city defenders in the city."

"What is it for?" the elf asked curiously.

The assassin laughed.

"Because your highness is selling fake medicine!"

-

Archie Bailey turned the pages hastily.

"And then, why not! How did the thousand elves sacrifice? Why was the battle at the foot of the orc mountain defeated? Why is there no record in the book!" An inexplicable impatience haunted him, and Archie Bailey had a premonition, The unrecorded period must be very important, so important that countries do not hesitate to erase the truth in history.

"It's useless to be anxious." Reid suddenly said, "Since there is no record in human history—"

The red dragon boy jumped off the table.

"—then we'll find Sarandir and ask him in person."

Archie looked at the Red Dragon Boy for a while: "Do you think he will tell us?"

"I'm not sure." Red said confidently, "But how will you know if you don't try." For unknown things, the red dragon boy always adheres to the first principle of "doing before thinking".

The mage apprentice looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "It feels like the sky is falling and you can't even make you frown, Red, are you all dragons like this?"

Red said triumphantly: "Of course, dragons are fearless creatures. If dragons are afraid, it must be because our souls are dead. This is what one of my elders told me." However, he fell silent again. , Thinking of the elder who told him this famous saying, now there is no news, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

The two teenagers were silent to each other, and when they remembered that it was time to go back to the hut, the sky was already bright.

"At first, I thought that a long journey was about to start, and some people would be uneasy." The next morning, looking at the state of everyone, the black-robed mage pointed out, "But it seems that some people are too excited, so sleep insufficient."

Archie and Reid, one was sweating nervously, and the other didn't care about it.

"The Mage Association is in charge of all official teleportation circles, which means that we cannot use any registered teleportation circles to go to the foot of the orc mountain." The elf explained, "I will borrow a friend's private teleportation circle. We will arrive at a city closest to the Kingdom of the Red Rose Knights. We will need to walk for the rest of the journey."

Estes asked: "Private teleportation circle?" There was some doubt in his tone.

Bossian looked at him: "If anyone minds, you can find a way by yourself. Of course, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Facing the obvious hostility, the current elf crown prince frowned and did not express any further opinions.

"I can fly over." The red dragon Reid seemed to dislike the guys around him for dragging him down. "With the ability of the giant dragon, it takes half a day to reach such a small distance."

Before Archie beside him said anything, Bothian had already sent the red dragon a "friendly" glance.

"You can fly." The black-robed mage said, "And tomorrow we will see on the headlines of newspapers in the mainland that a red dragon was punished to serve as a mount for two years for violating air traffic control rules and disrupting the route. Now it is recruiting from all over the continent Dragon Knight. Applicants must be flocking to it."

The mage apprentice couldn't help laughing.

"As for you, my 'lovely' student." Bossian looked at Archie Bailey, "If you don't hand over the amulet given to you by Archmage Bailey, I think we will go to school as soon as we walk out of Vannen City." He will find out immediately."

Everyone, including the elves, looked at Archie, and Reid even had an expression of "you really are a traitor, you are a traitor".

"Uncle, Mr. Bethien..."

"Bothian." The mage corrected him.

In the end, Archie Bailey looked constipated, and couldn't help but reluctantly handed over his treasured talisman—a miniature amulet with protection and tracking functions made by Archmage Bailey himself.

Before leaving, the mage apprentice looked back at the city of Fanen in the early morning.The city was foggy and the sky was slightly bright. Occasionally, people who got up early hurried through the streets and alleys, and began to be busy with their livelihoods for the day.The city of mages has just woken up.

"This is the first time I have left Fann City when I was 15 years old." Archie looked at the city in the early morning fascinated, "Why do I miss it even before I leave?"

Beside, the red dragon Red whispered: "I miss Dragon Island too. Let's go, we can go home when we find Sarandir and settle everything."

"Aren't you leaving?" the black-robed mage urged ahead.

The two teenagers caught up with the tall figure in front of them.Archie had a whim, was Sarandir also in the same mood when he left the Sea of ​​Elven Trees more than 100 years ago?

……

This is an endless sea of ​​lush forests.Unless an elf guides you, trespassers will be lost forever.The Western Sea of ​​Trees got its name from this.

The young elf walked through the towering oak trees, waded the Aisi River flowing with star sand, and stopped helplessly before entering the low bushes.

"Just stop here. How long are you going to take me?"

He turned around amusedly, and looked at the shadow of the swaying figure behind him.

"I'm just out to practice and I'll be back."

Stars fell from his silver eyes.Facing the bushes behind him, the elf waved his hand vigorously, "Tell Dad, when I come back, I will be able to cure his picky eating problem! I'm leaving."

And soon, his figure disappeared at the other end of the bush.The gentle morning breeze blew across the ground, and the treetops swayed slightly, as if saying goodbye to their most beloved children.

……

The orc woke up in a warm embrace. Since his parents passed away one after another, he hadn't felt such warmth for a long time.This made him linger for a while, but woke up the elf who was holding him.

When Salanduil woke up from his sleep, he noticed that the little orc in his arms looked up at him as if he had done something wrong, trembling as if waiting for punishment.

"I don't blame you for waking me up."

The elf sighed and patted the little guy's head.

"Now that we're awake, we're ready to go. But before that, tell me your name."

The half-orc looked at him half-understood, and seeing that Salanduil didn't show an angry expression, he smiled happily.To be honest, his smile is really not pretty, and the fangs protruding from his upper lip make him look more like a roaring beast.

Seeing his ignorant look, Salanduel couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

"How old are you? Wait, let me count." As he spoke, he touched the back of the orc's pointed ear and muttered, "Ten, twenty...eighty, you were born Only 80 years."

Salanduil was slightly startled. More than 100 years have passed since the tragedy happened that year. If the mother of this child was one of those missing elves who were not rescued back then, why is this half-breed just 80 years old?Something seems wrong.Before the elf could figure it out, the little orc in his arms shook his fingers coquettishly, and his beautiful emerald eyes looked at Salanduil.

"...Hungry." The little half-orc said, "Searle, hungry."

"What did you say?!" Salanduil looked at him in astonishment, and lost his composure again, "Say it again."

"Thur, Thur...hungry." The little half-orc didn't seem to understand why the elf reacted so violently. He could only repeat simple words. Apart from "Thur" and "hungry", there were probably only "pain" and "" Help" are the words.The person who wanted to teach him the common language of the mainland did not expect him to learn any complicated words, but only taught the most basic words, hoping that he would be able to protect himself.The Teacher loved the Orc.

Salanduil was in a complicated mood, and it took a long time before he picked up the cub in front of him.

"You are not a half-orc." He whispered, "You are a half-elf."

The half-breed elf couldn't understand what he was talking about, but seeing Salanduil hugging himself again, he hugged him like a model, and kept calling "Thir", as if that was the only thing he could do. Words to remember.After a while, the young half-elf felt wet on his shoulders.He didn't understand why that was.

After a while, Salanduil sorted out his emotions and set off again.He first took out dry food and fed the half-elf, then held the cub in his arms and started to cross the mountains.Without being dragged down by others, he moved very quickly.Finally, before the sky was getting dark, they climbed over a snow mountain on the southernmost side of the orc foothills.And after crossing this mountain, the southern plain is ahead.

The elf looked at the red and black land in front of him with complicated eyes.It was the most barren piece of land on the continent, and it was the second most sinful place in the eyes of the clergymen after the Devil's Abyss.However, for the half-elf in his arms, it was the only free country in the world that could accommodate him.

That was the Freedom Confederation of the South.

The author has something to say:

The tone of these chapters seems a bit heavy, and the next chapter will change.

A crooked classroom:

Take a history lesson today.

Searle left the Western Sea of ​​Trees 200 years ago and went out to wander.

The Continental War ended 150 years ago, and Searle became an otaku.

Archie is 15 years old and Berthian is under 30.

So, how much Archie is the age difference between Searle and Bethien?

(Looks like it turned into a math class?)
