I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

"Reject." After listening to You Xia's report, Yolanda flatly refused.

His expression didn't change when he spoke, and he even pointed his fingers at the sycamore tree goblin sitting on the table with interest.

Not long after the ninth level was unlocked, Youxia placed the forest castle presented by the system on the original manor villa. The newly completed castle not only has a solemn and magnificent appearance, but also has exquisite interior decoration, and has modern equipment, which is very convenient. Before the construction of the palace started, it became the temporary residence of the leaders.

The place where the Elven King stays most often is the study room of the castle. It has a very spacious space, sufficient lighting, and curved bookshelves embedded in the wall. Although it is not as deep as the library in the Yingdeng Forest, it is definitely enough as a temporary study room .

You Xia remembered that when he entered this study room for the first time, the surrounding area was still empty, but now the bookshelves all over the wall are full of neat books, the floor is covered with an elf-style arabesque carpet, and the table is also piled up. After picking up scrolls, quill pens, ink bottles and other work supplies, sitting at the desk, looking up, you can see the tall and dense sycamore trees outside the window.

This sycamore tree was recently transplanted. Youxia originally planned to plant it in Los Angeles, but because of Rice's departure, his plan to buy a house was put on hold for the time being.

The sycamore tree grew too fast in the glass house, occupying too much space for other plants. The Elf King couldn't stand it anymore, so he temporarily transplanted it to the castle.

Although it is late autumn now, in the territory of the wood elves, the plane trees outside the window will always be green and lush.

"why?"

Although it had been predicted that the Elf King might not agree to the Mage Alliance's invitation, Youxia did not expect such an unhesitating refusal.

Yolanda raised his head to look at him, and said suddenly: "Do you know why Oghst was hunted down by the Mage Union?"

As soon as he heard the word "Ogster", Youxia immediately had such an inexplicable premonition that he would probably listen to the story again next.

He thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I heard that it's because Mr. August emptied the magic books on the top two floors of Magia Tower."

"That's just one of the reasons." Yolanda said calmly, "The other reason has to do with his teacher."

"Ms. August's teacher?"

"Yeah." Yolanda nodded: "That's a powerful great magician and the previous president of the Wizards Union. His name is Brayce."

You Xia recited the name silently, vaguely feeling that she had heard it before.

Later, I remembered that during the time when he was learning magic with Li Youmen, Li Youmen would often read to him the classics that Augest put in his study, and most of the compilers of magic books were called "Bu Leith" people.

"Bryce has served as the president of the Mage Union for nearly 600 years. During this period, for more than 300 years, he was the only great magician in the human race. He also served as the teacher of all human mages. He searched, sorted out and wrote half of the magic books."

You Xia sighed softly in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that August would say that what he took away belonged to him originally.

"Since Bryce is the president of the Mage Union, why did Mr. August leave the Mage Union and take so many classics with him?"

"That's the second reason I'm going to tell you about August leaving."

Youxia pulled out a chair and sat down to listen slowly.

The sycamore goblin flew to his shoulder and sat down, imitating his expression and posture, looking up at the Elf King.

Seeing this, Yolanda smiled softly, and then continued to speak slowly: "Bryis died eight years ago in 320, and there was no other reason for his death, but simply reaching the limit of the great magician's lifespan. After his death, Blanche, as a talented great magician who was only over [-] years old, became the new president of course, and the vice-chairman was Gwendoline, who was still a magician at the time."

"After Blanche took over as president, he also valued Ogst very much. After all, he was the only student of the previous president. After that, he was quiet for 20 years, until Ogst accidentally discovered that Blanche and G. Wendolin's secret intention." Yolanda said as he paced to the window, and when he said this, he paused.

You Xia mentioned God and asked, "What is it?"

Yolanda turned to look at him: "They want to turn Braies' bones into magic items."

"Bones? Mana items..."

You Xia froze for a moment, and suddenly recalled that when Li Youmen introduced the types of magic items to him, he deliberately hid one item, saying that it was not suitable for cubs to hear, but after that, he turned on the magic power of the teleportation array. The giant queen's toe bones can be seen on the item.

After integrating the information, he suddenly understood, and muttered to himself: "So, not only the utensils used by powerful mages contain magic energy, but even the bones are full of magic energy."

"Yes."

Yolanda's two short words confirmed his guess, and Youxia couldn't help feeling creepy when he thought of something.

At this time, I only heard Yolanda continue: "As a great magician, Brays has lived for more than 900 years. His bones contain extraordinary powerful magic power. It can be said that a part of his finger bone can supply a single bone." People transmit the energy of the magic circle for decades."

"Are there only the bones of dead mages?" You Xia asked this question a little uneasily.

Yolanda smiled slightly: "No, if you cut open my body now and take out my bones, you will also find that there is abundant and active magic energy inside."

"..." You Xia seemed to understand why Li Youmen said that this is not something children can listen to.

"Okay, let's skip this topic." The elf king seemed to finally realize that it was not appropriate to tell the cubs these bloody things, and continued the story just now, "In short, Ogst discovered their intentions and tried to stop them When they did this, Blanche agreed to him on the surface, but behind the scenes, he still used some means to melt away Brays's flesh and took out his entire skeleton. At that time, his teacher had already become the energy supply for an underground magic circle in a mage tower."

Youxia was terrified when he heard it. From the perspective of the Mage Alliance, Blanche's actions seemed understandable, but from the perspective of August, this behavior was too cruel.

"and then?"

"Then, August made a plan. He wanted to steal Brays's skeleton and all the magic books he left in Magiasta."

"He succeeded."

"No, it's not considered a success." Yolanda shook his head, "He was only a high-level mage at the time, but I have to say that his magic talent is very strong, and his acting skills are first-rate. He successfully deceived Bran by pretending to be obedient and obedient Qi and Gwendolyn stole Magiasta's tome and Bryce's bones, but not long after that, he was hunted down by the Mage Union of the entire continent. On the way to escape, he had several In a desperate situation, the bones of Blaise were lost during the flight."

You Xia couldn't help saying "ah": "Then what happened after that?"

"It was also a coincidence," Yolanda said in a nostalgic tone, "At that time, the holy pool in the Yingdeng Forest was already showing signs of drying up. I went out to find a new holy pool, and on the way I ran into the desperate Ogste. After hearing his story, I remembered that the Great Elder had some friendship with Brays, so I helped him and let him enter the periphery of the Yingdeng Forest."

"So that's it." Youxia nodded. In this way, everything is connected. No wonder Ogst is being hunted so closely. No wonder Yolanda and Ogst seem to have no intersection at all. The two would become good friends, and it was no wonder that Yolanda refused so flatly when she heard that Blanche wanted to see him today.

Immediately, he remembered the bones of the missing Brays in the story, and asked: "Then did the bones disappear just like that, and Mr. Ogst didn't look for them again?"

"I have searched for it. The two of us traveled together on the mainland back then. I was looking for the holy pool. He was looking for the bones of his teacher, but they have not been found. Maybe they have been swallowed up by the earth." Yolanda said softly. Sighed, "It's better to be like this, otherwise, if there is any change in the complete skeleton of a great magician..."

Youxia listened attentively to his speculation, but Yolanda didn't say any more.

"I understand. After I go back, I will reject the request of the Mage Alliance." Just after hearing the story, as a student of Augst, Youxia inevitably had some prejudice against the Mage Alliance.

But then he was unexplainably uneasy. After all, according to Minesid, the ability of the Dragon King's awakening is very terrifying.

"Don't worry, there have been supernatural dragons capable of awakening the power of words since ancient times, but they will pay a certain price for using this ability." Yolanda seemed to see through his thoughts, and comforted: "So Ude's ability is absolutely It's not unlimited, otherwise, with his ambition, it would not be as simple as capturing the territory near Numaha Snow Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Youxia realized that this was really the case, so Minesde made the matter so serious on purpose, was it because he was worried that he would not pass on the message to the Elf King?

What a crafty adult!

Now that he knew everything, You Xia decided to go back to the city. Before leaving, he gave Yolanda a bottle of "Wen Xue" perfume and said, "I'm going to open a perfume shop. I think this smell is especially suitable for you."

The Elf King looked down at the perfume presented by the cub, and slightly pulled the corners of his lips.

"Then I'm going back to the city." You Xia said, and put the goblin on his shoulders on the desk.

Just when he was about to step out of the study door, he suddenly heard a voice behind him saying: "If it really gets to such a serious point, the four major alliances combined can't deal with the power of the abyss. I will help, and I believe that the dragon clan will not stand idly by."

You Xia turned around and saw the Elf King standing upright in the sunlight by the window.

"After all, although we don't like to be in contact with the human race, we must be in contact with them." He looked at Youxia with a soft expression and said, "You like the human race too, right?"

"Yes." You Xia replied, but he didn't quite understand the meaning of the first half of his sentence, and asked in a daze, "Why do you have to contact the human race?"

"Because ordinary humans are always so fleeting, yet so alive," Yolanda said, "without them, this continent would feel lonely."
