I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

In the beautiful morning of Liulin Pond, Pei Xiang has a boyfriend who is a bit greedy, and Esfar has a girlfriend who is a bit stingy.

The new lovers didn't say much about each other and sweet words.They naturally held hands, walked affectionately and casually in the woods by the pool, received the blessing flowers from flower elves and tree elves from time to time, and occasionally greeted and chatted with the early-rising residents of Willow Forest, enjoying the A leisurely and comfortable time with lovers by your side.

"Esfar, before returning to the sea, we have to go to another place. Remember that magic book? I'm going to find Lilia and return the book to her in person. In this way, she can Give that book to others in need."

Asfar thought of D'Artaglio's exhortations about company and communication during the meal yesterday, and added:

"Not only to visit your friend Lilia, but also to look for the dagger. If I need to return to the abyss in an emergency, you and I can communicate through the dagger."

"Hmm, bring up the dagger... I don't know what happened to the witch Alice?"

"died."

"Dead?" Pei Xiang slightly raised his voice.

"Well, since I came back yesterday, I haven't felt the blood bond between the same race anymore. Presumably, Alice must have been hit by the silver light, and thus completely dissipated in the world."

Recalling the silver light at the beginning, Pei Xiang couldn't help sighing:

"It's really unexpected that the Holy See in the Bole Kingdom still has such a trump card ultimate move."

Esfar sneered: "That's not a power that a small land country can master. It's probably a demigod who took advantage of the loopholes in the law and smuggled down the power of a demigod. This is one of the reasons why Alice didn't choose to escape immediately. Bearing grudges, underestimating the enemy and luck, made her lose her vitality."

Pei Xiang nodded clearly.

Neither of them mentioned revenge, because it must have been planned in the future.When the time is right, Esfar will ask the conspirators on the throne to pay back the debts and interest.

After that day, the two stayed in the willow forest for a few more days.

Esfar liked the two big lotus-leaf beds in the pond very much. Before leaving, he specially asked the adjutant Blue Rabbit for a few magic lotus seeds, and planned to grow similar lotus-leaf beds by himself.In this way, he and Pei Xiang don't have to separate two rooms to rest at night.

After leaving the willow forest, Pei Xiang and Esfar walked the path they had traveled once again.

The difference is that this time, Esfar no longer senses what Pei Xiang sees and hears remotely through a dagger connection, but truly stays with her, breathing the same air and enjoying the same scenery as her, encountered the same danger.

Of course, when you sleep out at night, you have to sleep on side-by-side lotus leaf beds.

Before meeting Lilia again, Pei Xiang and Esfar first met the second prince Arthur.To Pei Xiang's surprise, after 30 years, His Royal Highness, who was in his prime at the time, still maintains a young and handsome face.He has a tall and straight figure, thick hair, and no aging wrinkles on his face, but his temperament is more mature and steady given by the years, and his eyes are more deep and calm.

"Your Highness Arthur, long time no see." Pei Xiang greeted with a smile.

"You are...God, yes, it's Amy! Oh, Amy, you finally appeared, my God, God bless! No, Lord of the Sea Clan, it's great that you're okay..."

Just now, Prince Arthur, who was secretly praised by Pei Xiang for being more mature and stable, widened his eyes and looked extremely excited.He leaned close to Pei Xiang to look at her carefully, and stretched out his hand to make random gestures a few times, his expression slowly transitioning from dubious to half-determined.

Esfar, who was standing beside Pei Xiang, raised his eyebrows silently, deeply feeling that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was a little too excited and excited.For human beings, 30 years is not a short time, enough to forget many things, but Arthur recognized Pei Xiang without much hesitation, which is not easy.

If you don't remember it all the time, how many people can immediately recognize a friend who has been separated for more than 30 years?Even if your heart has been moved, you shouldn't confirm it immediately.

What's more, during the period in Bolai Kingdom, Pei Xiang always wore the appearance of Princess Lilia, and she didn't get along with Arthur for a long time in the image of Amy.

Just when Esfar was doubting, Prince Arthur gave the answer while laughing loudly:

"Amy, I am your brother-in-law now, hahaha, your fifth sister has been thinking about you all these years. She recorded your appearance in the magic crystal ball, and then sent people to search for you all over the mainland. That's 30 years. Oh, you finally came back safely."

"My fifth sister?" Pei Xiang blinked.

"Yes, Joanna told me about you yesterday. I didn't expect such a big surprise today. Oh, by the way, Lilia recently returned to China to visit relatives and is visiting my house. She has been missing you, Amy, really Nice to see you again."

Pei Xiang thought, the amount of information is a bit rich.

At this time, Arthur took out a shiny mermaid tail scale from his chest pocket, and handed it to Pei Xiang:

"Please put your hands on this scale. This is the amulet your sister gave me, and it is also a token of looking for you."

Pei Xiang looked back at Asfar, and sometimes she was quite ignorant about some things on the seabed.After all, the little princess Amy was too young when she left the sea area, and the spoiled little girl usually didn't pay special attention to these details.

Esfar nodded slightly to Pei Xiang, indicating that her scale is safe and reliable.

So, Pei Xiang put her hands on the beautiful and moist scales, and as soon as she touched them, she felt a burst of intimacy and affection.Immediately, the scales emitted a light blue halo, hazy and dreamy.

Seeing this, the last bit of hesitation in Arthur's eyes dissipated, and he showed a genuinely happy smile.

"Ha, Amy, Joanna should have sensed your touch on this scale. She and Lilia will definitely leave the palace and return home as soon as possible. By then, your sisters will be able to reunite."

"Is Fifth Sister in the palace now? The current His Majesty the King... is it His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince?"

"Yes, it is Brother Wang. Brother Wang inherited the throne in the third year after you left. Hey, Amy, you haven't introduced this gentleman to me yet."

"Oh, this is Esfar, my lover, he is also from the sea tribe." Pei Xiang introduced her boyfriend to her old friend very calmly.

Arthur wasn't surprised by this.While talking with Pei Xiang, he was also observing this extraordinary Mr. Asfar, and he had already noticed the signs from the intimate atmosphere between the two.

However, he did not expect that Esfar would be a Sea Clan.

"That's really good," Arthur sighed, "Your Majesty Hubert must be very satisfied with this. To be honest, he has a lot of problems with my son-in-law who is a human. If Joanna insisted on scaring you with what happened back then When it comes to him, he will definitely not marry his beloved daughter to land."

The "His Majesty Hubert" Arthur said is the king of the mermaid country, the father of the little mermaid princess Amy.

Hearing this, Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Arthur, how did you know Joanna?"

"This, let's start with your disappearance..."

So, on the way to the home of the second prince Arthur, Pei Xiang was informed of a series of events that happened after she left unexpectedly that year.

Leaving aside the details of how the king of Burleigh, who likes to show off his new clothes, became the laughing stock of all countries, let's just talk about the situation after Prince Arthur returned home.

At that time, while reporting back to His Majesty the king what he had seen and heard about the country of Bailai and the reasons why the two countries could not marry, he also told his sister Lilia in private what happened before and after Pei Xiang's disappearance.

At the same time, he handed over all the personal belongings that Pei Xiang left in his residence to Lilia and asked her to keep them for him, while he himself left the dagger as a commemoration of a crush that ended in a hurry.

During the initial period, everyone thought that Pei Xiang and her elf Cuicui were in danger, and they were really sad for many days.

But life still has to go on.

A year later, Lilia married His Majesty the young King across the sea. At that lively wedding, an unidentified beautiful girl accidentally broke into the parade of floats.

"That girl is your fifth sister, Joanna."

Mentioning the scene of meeting his wife for the first time, a warm and joyful smile appeared on Arthur's brows:

"After she broke into the floats by mistake, she was surrounded by several guards and led away. I happened to pass by there, and I thought this girl who appeared out of nowhere looked somewhat similar to you, so I went up to ask.

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I said your name, her eyes turned red, and she asked me if I had seen her little sister. After asking, she deliberately pinched her waist and stared at me fiercely, for fear that I would lie and deceive you." Like her."

Speaking of this, Arthur, who has reached middle age, actually showed a shy and innocent smile like a teenager. He scratched his hair and said in a low voice:

"Amy, I fell in love with Joanna at first sight at that time, I, I thought she was so cute."

Hearing this, Pei Xiang chuckled, looked at Arthur jokingly and asked:

"Does my fifth sister know that you think she is so cute when she is crying and fierce?"

For this question, Arthur waved his hands again and again.Because Joanna always thought that it was her elegant and noble princess demeanor that attracted her husband, but she didn't know that someone was beating her heart when she was in a panic at the beginning.

"Hey, I was too happy to see you today, so I accidentally revealed this little secret. Amy, don't tell Joanna, she always bullies me now, if you let her know that I am so early I’m tempted, and I’m sure I’ll be even more proud.”

Pei Xiang smiled and nodded, but his gaze stayed on the scale in Arthur's hand for a moment.

She just left a small sound transmission spell on the scales, hoping that Joanna could hear her voice earlier to confirm that she was safe and sound, so as not to worry too much.Unexpectedly, Arthur would reveal his little secret at this time.

——Forget it, compared with brother-in-law, of course it is the older sister that is more important.

Esfar at the side glanced at the stupid Arthur, and thought to himself that if such a human could marry the princess of the Mermaid Kingdom, then a long-lived sea tribe like himself would naturally have an advantage.

Soon after the group arrived at Arthur's castle, Joanna and Lilia also rushed back from the direction of the palace.

When relatives and friends are reunited, they are naturally very happy. Everyone tells us their experiences after separation and how they miss each other.Unknowingly, the 30-year estrangement gradually melted away.

"Amy, it's the magic book of magic that makes us sure you're alive."

Joanna held Pei Xiang's arm and said happily and gratifiedly:

"After I got acquainted with Arthur, Lilia and others, they showed me your personal belongings, including that magical magic book. I found that the content above is still your favorite magic knowledge, just Hopeful in my heart, so I wrote to my father and king, asking him if he knew the specific origin of that magical magic book, and asking him... If something happened to the holder, what would happen to the magic book?

"Later. Father wrote back and said that he checked the records left by our ancestors and found that there was a record of that magic book. It is said that a thousand years ago, a very powerful human magician visited the Lord of the Sea Clan and asked the great The proud majesty showed his achievements in magic alchemy, um, the magic book that can change the content. Although the master of the sea tribe was not very interested in the book at that time, other sea tribes still found it very interesting. Especially us Ancestor Heinsey, he is always more concerned about human civilization.

"Therefore, the ancestor Heinsey specially recorded the introduction of the magic book by human wizards. One of the records is that if the holder of the book passes away suddenly, the contents of the book will disappear and become a blank book. book until the next owner picks it up."

"So that's how it is," Pei Xiang flipped through the magic book in his hand, and found that it still contained the introductory knowledge of magic that she was eager to know at the time, "Lilia, I have written down and learned the contents of this book, so now put This book is returned to you, and you can give it to those who need it according to your wishes."

Lilia nodded with a smile and did not refuse.She always remembers the agreement between herself and Pei Xiang to help more people with this magic book that contains mother's love and blessings.

After talking about the magic book, Pei Xiang asked about Joanna's life on land. She was curious about how her fifth sister left the sea and had human legs.

"At that time, we hadn't heard from you for a long time, and we were very worried, so I proposed to go ashore to find you. At first, my father and grandmother disagreed, and my sisters also stopped me. But my attitude was very Resolute, they were worried that I would sneak out like you before and be tricked by the sea witch again, so they reluctantly agreed to my proposal.

"So, my father took out the potion treasured by my ancestors and let me take it, and I got my legs temporarily. But the effect of this potion is very short-lived, and it can only last for a few years. After that, I have to take new ones. But I thought at that time that a few years would be enough, and I would definitely find you back, so I happily left the sea area, and then, I found this country all the way...

"Later, I knew that you accidentally fell into a space passage and your whereabouts were unknown, but you should not be in danger of your life, so I put my mind at ease for the time being... Then, um, after some twists and turns, I married the human prince Arthur."

At the same time, Arthur is also telling Asfar about his process of chasing his wife.His tone contained the pride of a successful person, the sigh and nostalgia of someone who has been there, as well as the sympathy and scrutiny for his brother-in-law:

"I was able to marry Joanna after going through various rigorous tests. Back then, His Majesty King Hubert told me that there was only one potion that could turn a mermaid's tail into legs, and it was the lord of the Sea Clan back then. I made it myself, and there must be no more. So, when the time comes, Joanna will have to return to the sea area, and she will not be able to stay with me for a long time. Of course, I can't stay at the bottom of the sea for a long time.

"I was very sad, but I didn't want to give up easily. So my father-in-law and my grandmother said that as long as I can find a safe way to keep Joanna on land for a long time, they will agree to this marriage. Alas, I was embarrassed The hair fell out one by one, and Joanna even disliked it, it is said that their mermaids value their hair very much."

Having said that, Arthur took a serious look at Asfar's thick hair, feeling a little disappointed and jealous:

"Oh, I forgot, you are from the Sea Clan, so there should be no risk of human hair loss."

Esfar nodded unhurriedly, and commented in a calm and leisurely tone:

"Hair is just a trivial matter. Unlike human men, our sea race's appearance changes extremely slowly, hundreds of years are like a few days. If the magic power is deep enough to a certain level, it can remain young forever. Regardless of appearance, body shape, Whether it's physical strength, it will always be at its best."

Arthur: ...

He suddenly felt that Esfar's indifferent and calm appearance was a bit dazzling, and he thought it might as well be a little more arrogant and arrogant, and he could justifiably go back.

Just like the second princess's husband of the sea tribe, every time he sees him, a human brother-in-law, he will be embarrassed.And in the face of such an obvious provocation, Arthur could always refute with reason.Of course, appearance issues and age issues have always been Arthur's flaws.

——However, in terms of beauty, can you Sea Clans compare with the elder brother-in-law from the Elf Clan?

——Fortunately, among all races, only human wizards are the most refined potions, which helped me solve many problems.

——However, if one day the third and fourth sons fall in love with dwarves or orcs, then my appearance will not be the bottom of all sons-in-law.

As Arthur was thinking wildly, Esfar gave him a cold look.

The lightly falling eyes stared at a moonlight-like coldness, lofty and transparent.Just one glance was like pouring a bucket of ice water on Arthur's head, causing him to shiver uncontrollably, and at the same time, all the chaotic thoughts in his mind disappeared.

Subconsciously sitting upright, Arthur suddenly realized clearly that this brother-in-law-to-be was really unfathomable.

When Pei Xiang was by this person's side before, he behaved as calm and gentle as water, making others automatically ignore his strength and fierceness, but now that he is far away from Pei Xiang, this Mr. Asfar has become Very bad approach.

"Well, that... um..."

Arthur, who was talking eloquently just now, was suddenly at a loss for words.He hesitated for a while, causing Joanna, who was chatting with her sisters not far away, to look sideways, so Lilia and Pei Xiang also diverted their attention.

Esfar lowered his eyes and poured Arthur a glass of wine, and said in a deep voice, "Drink."

Arthur immediately raised his glass obediently and drank it down.

Then, Esfar's slow voice sounded in Arthur's ear again:

"Arthur, after you thought hard about losing your hair, did you find any good way to solve the problem King Hubert gave you?"

"That," Arthur quickly replied, "in order not to make Joanna dislike me, I inquired everywhere about special potions for hair loss. Then I learned from the mouth of the swallow that there is a willow forest in the distance. A witch, she is very good at brewing special potions for hair loss."

This description made Esfar think of the witch who sent magic seeds to Pei Xiang.

Arthur continued:

"After hearing this news, I was very excited, and I planned to hire some warriors to seek medicine for me. Of course, I also asked those warriors to help me find out whether that witch is good at making a magic potion that makes mermaids walk on land. medicine.

"But what I didn't expect was that those warriors leaked the news of my search for the potion after they were drunk, and then the fairy Morgana learned of my distress.

"Oh, do you know the fairy Morgana, Esfar? She is a good friend of my mother's and lives in the palace in the clouds. She gave the magic book to my mother at the beginning, and then it was given to my mother. Mother gave it to Lilia."

Esfar nodded, indicating that he already knew the fairy Morgana.

So Arthur went on to explain:

"Morgana told me in a dream that she doesn't need to go to a distant witch to buy potions, she can help me solve my troubles, as long as I do some good deeds and help more people."

At this point, Arthur paused and took a sip of hot tea to soothe his throat.

On the other side, Joanna, who figured out what her husband was talking about, raised her voice and said:

"Human witches probably have their own domains, so when they heard that Arthur was going to ask for help, they showed up. Hey, the test of Morgana was not easy, but Arthur and I overcame it After all kinds of difficulties, she finally fulfilled her request.

"Therefore, the witch Morgana not only gave Arthur the potion to restore his appearance, but also gave me a high-level potion to temporarily turn the fish tail into legs, so I can stay on land.

"Of course, this incident touched me a lot. I actually ignored the fact that human beings will age rapidly. Therefore, I immediately wrote to my family and asked them to send some beauty-beautifying underwater treasures to Arthur."

Hearing this, Pei Xiangshen nodded approvingly:

"I really should urge Arthur to maintain his appearance. Joanna, I remember that I planted a lot of flame sunflowers and star seaweed in my small garden under the sea. They are all good materials for beauty and beauty. You can use them for Arthur."

Joanna smiled and said: "You were so precious before those flame sunflowers, and you planted them yourself, we are reluctant to pick them and use them. I used silver-edged seaweed, purple pearls and dotted oyster shells for Arthur. It's in the old grandmother's yard."

Speaking of the old grandmother, Pei Xiang talked with Joanna about the things in the mermaid kingdom, from the marriage of several mermaid princesses to the sea witch who suddenly disappeared, and naturally mentioned that Amy, the little mermaid princess, was willing to become a human prince for a human prince. Old things that make bubbles.

"By the way, Arthur, when I was forced to leave, I lost a dagger. Do you know the whereabouts of that dagger? Or was it swallowed by the silver light?"

"Oh, the dagger was not swallowed by the silver light," Arthur shook his head quickly, "It's strange to say that even that powerful witch disappeared, but your dagger is still fine. Amy, I took advantage of the Holy See of Burleigh When someone was unconscious, I hid your dagger, and it has been handed over to Joanna for safekeeping.”

Pei Xiang's eyes turned slightly, and he thought to himself, in order to give an order to the witch Alice, so that she would not continue to trouble "Amy the Mermaid", and that there was no need to deliberately facilitate the prophecy, Esfar shared a little of the original magic power in the Above, it was probably his strength that protected the dagger.

At this time, Joanna said:

"Amy, that dagger is not with me. I gave it to my eldest daughter, Luo Lisa, and asked her to marry the country of Reese with that dagger. If you still need that dagger, I will give it to Luo Lisa later. Write a letter and ask her to send someone to bring the dagger back."

"Why did you give the dagger to our daughter? And let her marry with the dagger?" Arthur asked puzzled.

Joanna raised her eyebrows and explained:

"Naturally, it is useful. We all know that the original purpose of the dagger is to allow Amy to stab the dagger into the heart of the human prince. Unfortunately, Amy can't do anything to hurt the opponent, so she can only endure all the pain afterwards. Now, my daughter is also married to a prince far away, and she is far away from her parents’ motherland for love. When I am worried, I hope that the dagger can serve as a warning.”

"Warning for what?" Lilia asked.

"I have to let Luo Lisa understand that don't wrong yourself for the so-called love. If her lover fails her, she should make a decision early and try her best to retaliate. She must not be as soft-hearted as her aunt Amy was at the beginning, and her whereabouts are unknown. Danger.

"Hmph, now that Amy is back safely and fell in love with Esfar again, I won't talk about her anymore. However, you must remember the lesson that should be remembered, and don't be soft when it's time to stab the knife."

Arthur: ...Feeling like a man who survived!

On the contrary, Pei Xiang frowned and thought for a moment:

"The Kingdom of Reese... the name of this country... is Ai, the country of the prince I met, right? So, Joanna, your eldest daughter, Luo Lisa, married the prince's son?"

Joanna sighed and smiled helplessly:

"It's just such a coincidence that the girl fell in love with the prince of Reese who was traveling around at first glance, and insisted that she would marry him. I didn't think much about it at first, but I felt that the distance was a little far away, but the country of Reese is by the sea, I am not afraid Rorisa is being bullied.

"But after meeting and chatting in detail, I realized the origin of this. But Luo Lisa had already had a special liking at that time, so how could I have the heart to really break them up. After thinking about it, I handed the dagger to Luo Lisa Let her be more vigilant, and don't be a silly girl who is blindly giving."

After hearing the cause and effect, Pei Xiang and Asfar looked at each other, and they both thought of the prophecy that the witch Alice had received.

——Alice's descendants killed the warrior's descendants, the hot heart blood will soak the bones of the same race, and will eventually wake up the sleeping monarch.

"That prophecy..." Pei Xiang stood up with a serious expression.

Esfar got up and walked to Pei Xiang at the same time, held her hand and said:

"We'll go see it now."

"it is good."

"Amy, what happened?" Joanna asked in surprise.

Pei Xiang shook his head slightly: "Joanna, Asfar and I have urgent matters to leave, and we will explain to you and Arthur after we finish."

While Pei Xiang was talking, Esfar used his magic power to draw a magic circle for transmission under the feet of the two, and then threw a magic gem at the center of the circle.

But after a while, the surroundings of the magic circle became brighter. After Pei Xiang and Esfar bid farewell to Arthur and the others, they quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

When Esfar and Pei Xiang came out of the passing magic circle, what they saw was that a beautiful woman with determined eyes stabbed a sharp dagger into a man's chest, and the hot heart blood soaked the insertion instantly. Flesh Dagger.

——The conditions of the prophecy were fulfilled.

Esfar's figure instantly became pale, as if he was going to go with the wind.

After he silently recited an ancient curse, his body solidified again.

Raising his hand to put the dagger that had just drank blood into his palm, Esfar turned his head and said to Pei Xiang:

"I must return to the main body as soon as possible. The restraining power of the curse has become smaller. I need to absorb the abyssal magic energy faster, and the power... probably needs to be advanced."

Pei Xiang's thoughts raced, and he immediately realized the current situation, so he said decisively:

"In that case, I'm going back to the sea country now. Esfar, don't worry about me. Until you successfully leave the abyss, I will keep hiding from those demigods and won't give them a chance to take advantage of me."

"Okay, wait for me to come back."

Leaning over and kissing Pei Xiang's lips, Esfar put the dagger into Pei Xiang's hand, and then his body turned into countless strands of golden light, passing through the pitch-black dagger one after another...
