God seal

"People who knew his secret died one by one."

Under the changing light, a few indistinct photographs left mottled shadows on the wall.They heard not-so-pleasant news from an attendee.

"It can't go on like this."

Someone made a sound, the voice was hoarse as if it had been eroded by wind and sand.

"We gave him a bracket to climb, a shelter from the wind and rain, and fertile soil, but he was like a poisonous thorn, starting to corrode the big tree behind him. At least we have to let him know that this giant The tree is far more sheltered than he imagined, and it is not so easy to be eroded."

"Not necessarily." Others held the opposite opinion, "As you said, he is a thorny thorn tree, and his opponent is the wind and rain and the ladybugs, not us. He is a wise man , know what will happen if we fight against us. If we fall out with him, we will lose a cherished talent."

"Really? What happened in Rock City..."

Different opinions began to sound in the secret meeting room.

"Enough, be quiet!"

An old voice came.

The owner of the voice seemed to be very authoritative, and everyone present stopped arguing and waited quietly for him to speak.

"We might as well wait and see what happens." The voice said, "We can give him another chance and see how he will choose."

The lights were dim, and all the disputes subsided.Gradually, whispering voices came from the secret room.

"Yes."

"This is the last chance and hopefully he will make the right decision."

"Berthian Olivier..."

-

"Teacher Bossian?"

Archie Bailey looked at the person who asked the question, "No, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Didn't you go out to practice together? You went back to the academy together. Don't you know where the teacher is now?" The questioner looked suspicious.

Archie couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not with him all day, how can I know his movements."

"Really? Archie. But your grandfather is the Archmage Bailey. If Mr. Bosien is away on a mission of the academy, you should at least have some news."

Here we go again, simply enough is enough!

In the 16 years since he was born, Archie has heard this argument more than once.

Your grandfather was the Archmage Bailey, so you should have a solid knowledge of spells.What, you're not good at?That's impossible, you are the grandson of the Archmage!

Your grandfather is Archmage Bailey, you should know a lot of things we don't.have no idea?It's fine if you don't want to say it, we won't force you.

To be honest, the identity of "the grandson of Archmage Bailey" has brought endless troubles to Archie.He's a walking "Grandson of Archmage Bailey" icon, not Archie Bailey himself.

For more than ten years, only when he was hijacked by Mr. Boxien half-coerced to go out a few months ago, he felt so much freedom.

He misses that time so much now.Since returning to the academy, everything has become dull, and I can't see Mr. Bossian very much.The black-robed mage seemed to disappear mysteriously, always disappearing without a trace.

Speaking of mysterious disappearance, Archie thought of the mage tower where "Olivier the Prophet" disappeared.When Salanduil came to ask him the way before, Archie didn't even know that the reclusive mage Olivier had disappeared.The academy did not disclose this matter to the public at all. This kind of reaction was a bit strange, as if it was deeply afraid of being discovered.What is the academy hiding?

"Hey, if you know where Teacher Bothian is, maybe you can also get news about Salanduil."

Archie looked up sharply at the speaker.

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't you know? The rumors about White Rose City and Locke City have been raging, and everyone is spreading the word that the mage who appeared next to Sarandir is Teacher Bosien, after all, he is also Olivier." !"

Searle chose to leave Rock City at dawn.This time they originally came to find Estes and Teresu, but now that they have been found, the human trafficking network in Rock City has been destroyed, and there is no need to stay here.

When they left, Seir asked Ronnie about her future plans.

"I will continue to travel the mainland with Long's mercenary group." The girl with the sword said, "In the past, I only had the Lisibetin family in my eyes. Now, I want to see the whole world."

Searle wants to ask her, are you still planning to go back to White Rose City, where is your mother?But when he saw the girl's resolute face, he didn't say anything in the end.This is all Ronnie's own business, she will arrange it.She is no longer that paranoid girl who is almost paranoid in order to maintain the family's honor.

"What about you?" Searle looked at the others.

"You helped me find my daughter, then I will help you find the person you are looking for." Brian said, "I will follow you until you find the prophecy is Olivier."

"I don't want to go back to Fengqi City for the time being. It's much more fun to stay by your side than to stay in the city." Monte shrugged.

Bossian was not within the scope of the inquiry, and the black-robed mage left without saying goodbye again.After going through so many times, Searle is no longer surprised by his sudden appearance and departure.He looked at the last three people, no, three elves.

"Esthers, I heard you lost the 'crown'."

Estes was nervously waiting for Searle to say something to him, but he didn't expect it to be a question.

The elf crown prince blushed slightly, feeling like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded by his elders.However, Goddess of Nature, this elder brother who has never met since he was born, and who has never looked at his elder brother directly, what kind of elder is he?

So he said, "What does that have to do with you? The 'crown' is no longer yours."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

Alwitt sighed, clutching his forehead.After searching and getting along with each other for a period of time, the elves all understood what Sarandiel was like, and he was definitely not as simple as the legendary traitor.In fact, they all had some respect for Searle.Alwitt felt that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was a little too much.

Estes blushed even more, seemed a little regretful, and didn't know how to change his words.

"It's true that it doesn't belong to me, but as a member of the ethnic group, I think I still have the right to ask about it." Surprisingly, Searle was not angry because of this, "Besides, I have one more thing to ask for your help .”

"...Well." Estes felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Actually, the 'crown' has been found, but I can't get it back now."

What do you mean?

Everyone followed the direction of his fingers and looked at the top of Teresu's head.The mixed-race girl blinked innocently, and among her beautiful long silver-gray hair, a small and delicate corolla was adorning the top of her head.The small corolla is made of twigs of some kind of tree, and the gap is dotted with some lovely pink and white flowers.

"Could this be the 'Elf Crown'!" Monte was surprised, "It's too simple... Cough, it's simple."

"The 'crown' will change with the wearer." Searle explained, "At least when the Elf King was wearing it, what I saw was a beautiful silver crown."

He didn't call him "Father" here but used a distant one, and Estes couldn't help but give him an extra look.

"Why is Therese wearing it?" Monte asked again, "What does he mean he can't take it back, can't he take it off?"

"In fact, the 'crown' also has a certain degree of self-awareness. It is one of the clones of the goddess of nature. If it automatically chooses the wearer, it means that this person may be the next elf king, or..."

"That's not the case!" Estes retorted sharply, "How could the Sea of ​​Trees be inherited by a mixed blood with unclean blood!"

Monte looked at the elf crown prince who was a little embarrassed, smiled without saying a word, and then continued to ask Seir: "Or?"

"Or, the wearer is the partner of the next elf king it considers."

Estes' face became even uglier.

Monte laughed and said, "This is the decision made by the Goddess of Nature. It seems that you have to make a choice between letting Theresa inherit the throne or making her your wife."

Brian protested almost at the same time as Estes:

"How could I marry my daughter to her?!"

"How could I marry a half-breed?"

The two spoke in unison, expressing strong reluctance.

Searle didn't care about this matter. He walked up to Teresu, touched the girl's head and asked, "Can you lend me the little flower crown on your head?"

Therese nodded obediently.

Those who were arguing all fell silent. They watched the former owner of the "crown" gently remove the corolla from Therese's head.When the corolla fell into Searle's hands, it changed its appearance in an instant - a withered vine was dotted with petals of star sand grass, decay and freshness, death and new life, handing over at the same time.

Estes' eyes widened. He had never seen "The Crown" look like this.

Searle began to pray.

"Horna, Horanna, forgive me for disturbing your sleep."

He held the "crown" in both hands, and the strong natural breath gradually spread, and new green vines gradually grew from the corolla, as if swaying gently in response to Searle's prayer.

"Please tell me, where is my dear friend Olivier? Is he safe?"

One of the Goddess of Nature's responsibilities is to be in charge of all beings on the earth. She holds the aura of all life on this continent. As long as they are the dead who have not yet fallen into the palace of death, they will be sensed by her.This is also the reason why Searle was obsessed with finding Estes before.

Then, everyone heard the answer.It was a clear female voice, which rang in everyone's ears with an empty echo.

"He's gone, but he's still here."

"When he left, he was swallowed by blackness, and he could no longer hear your call; however, he still exists, protecting you with every inch of his flesh and blood."

"He's right there with you."
