(Only one update tonight, three updates tomorrow.)
The impact of life experience is smaller than Xia Han thought.
Except that Fiona obviously loved him more, his life was as usual. Fortunately, with the inheritance of the Elf City, the beliefs of the mages became simpler, and Xia Han no longer had to worry about the threat of turning into a pig.
Despite this, he did not dare to relax. He was running around every day. The busy work not only maintained a stable speed of belief, but also improved his physique. Physique is the key that Xia Han must pay attention to. He also has the sequelae of unlimited mana that must be dealt with.
.
Then not long after, an episode occurred.
Xia Han and Fiona received a job in a magic paper shop and helped make small magic paper models in the evening. This job is a bit like origami. The objects folded from magic paper can have some characteristics of animals. Paper cranes
It can fly, frog can jump...it is the favorite cheap product of little mages.
A few days after the work started, Xia Han found a young man when he returned to the store to get something back. The young man bought a batch of models and took them away in exquisite packages. This made Xia Han curious.
Children rarely buy such small items. Why do young people buy so many?
He went to ask the shopkeeper.
The shop owner responded with a hint of ambiguity: "He is my big customer. All the models that Li Mo makes every day are packaged and bought by him."
This answer shocked Xia Han. Li Mo was Fiona's pseudonym, and the appearance of the transformed little girl could only be described as delicate. She didn't expect that this could attract someone else - an older young man.
[There are many lolicons in this world.] Xia Han dislikes lolicons from the bottom of his heart, and regrets that no girl buys the things he makes. However, this thought passes by, and Xia Han does not want to provoke other women.
This was a small episode. If it ended like this, of course it wouldn't arouse Xia Han's attention. But not a minute after he finished talking to the shop owner, a prompt appeared in the plot system of the illustrated book.
"Ding... found a new plot..."
"Activate the series plot: For Fiona (Part 3)... Complete the plot conditions: Find the man who has a crush on the Elf Princess, investigate his identity, and then ask him if he likes Fiona... Reward for completing the task: Unknown
(Appears after the series of tasks are completed)"
A new mission is activated, and it turns out to be for Fiona (Part 3). But it is clear that (Part 2) has not been completed yet. Doesn’t this series of tasks seem to be progressive?
In fact, Xia Han was not interested in such a task. He did not want to interfere with the elf princess's emotional issues. Ever since he heard Fiona's confession, he knew that it would be a tragedy for any man to fall in love with her. A love affair destined to be fruitless, let
Wouldn’t it be great if someone else has a crush on you?
However, a task is a task, and you have to do it even if it hurts others.
Xia Han began to investigate the young man's identity. Logically speaking, his current resources were more than enough to investigate an ordinary mage, but the strange thing was that the young man's identity seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. Even though he helped through Qiu Ye and Chun Qing, he still couldn't.
got the answer.
And perhaps to alert others, the young man never appeared again.
Xia Han had no clue, but at this moment, he discovered something strange. The plot mission conditions "Crush on the Elf Princess" and "Does he like Fiona" caught his attention. The mission was triggered by a young man, so Xia Han set his target on him.
.
But how does he know that Li Mo is Fiona? If the young man likes Li Mo, the plot should show "secret love for Li Mo" or "secret love for the incarnation of the elf princess"...
An unexpected guess slowly took shape. Xia Han felt that the young man was right. But the young man liked Fiona, and he knew that Li Mo was the elf princess... More likely, there was something wrong with the young man's identity.
If it is said that the young man has a false identity, then it can also explain the reason why the investigation cannot reveal it.
Here are a few key points: First, the elf princess's incarnation is a secret. The only people who can know this secret are her close elves, and they are strong people who can see through the incarnation. Second, if the young man is a fake, then how can he change his incarnation?
Xing's true form must also be strong. Third, since the young man disappeared after Xia Han's investigation, his true form must have very strong intelligence capabilities.
Xia Han summarized several key points, and the first choice target made him take a breath of cold air: the legendary mage... Qin Huang, the lord of Glory City. Glory City is the largest force in the Sky Temple, and Qin Huang has gathered strength.
With power, he knows the incarnation of the elf princess, discovers Xia Han's investigation, and can even change her appearance.
Name: Qin Huang
Lord of the City of Glory in the Sky Temple, President of the Council of Mages, and a legendary mage. He was unmarried and had two disciples. He never participated in any world war. He died of illness in the year 1009 of the Bilunar Calendar.
The information in the illustrated book is that simple. If Qin Huang really likes Fiona, then this is a big secret in history. In order to avoid fatal mistakes, Xia Han investigated Qin Huang very carefully.
He soon got a valuable piece of information: two hundred years ago, when Qin Huang was a boy who had just entered the temple, he once told others that he would make a ring to give to the person he liked. There was no follow-up to this sentence, but it still remains today
It is circulated among some mages as an interesting anecdote.
Ring, two hundred years ago... If Qin Huang's partner becomes an elf princess, then this rumor may be true. When Qin Huang was young, he liked Fiona and even dreamed of confessing to her with a ring. Unfortunately, he ended up
Still unsuccessful, so I have been single ever since.
Xia Han found no other candidates in subsequent investigations, and he became more and more certain that Qin Huang was the person he was looking for for the mission.
He found Qin Huang.
"Is that you the person I saw in the magic paper shop?" Xia Han asked him.
Qin Huang was a little surprised, but in the blink of an eye he showed an expression of wonder: "How could you confirm my identity with just one look...Tell me, how did you know it was me?"
"Guessed." Xia Han breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had found the right person.
"Guess? There will be no more than five people in the entire Sky Temple who can guess me..." Qin Huang stretched out a hand and shook his head: "You are the most terrifying child I have ever seen.
In terms of wisdom... maybe even the First Mage is not as good as you."
His praise was meaningless to Xia Han, because he relied on the loopholes in the illustrated book to discover the clues. But even if there were no loopholes in the illustrated book, Xia Han would start to doubt the young man's identity during the deadlock - and he would also be able to discover Qin Huang's clues.
This reasoning process is like a brain teaser. It seems very simple, but ordinary people can't find the correct entry point. The process of finding the entry point is the process of wisdom. Of course... Xia Han is just smarter than ordinary people.
"What is your purpose for finding me?" Qin Huang asked.
Xia Han exhaled slowly and said calmly: "I want to know if you like Her Highness the Princess." In order to complete the task quickly, he said the most concise and understandable words without going around in circles.
"...Ahahaha..." Qin Huang's eyes were stunned, and then he laughed: "I see...it's incredible, it was exposed so easily."
"Two hundred years, so long..." He looked at Xia Han with some sigh, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the first person who asked me was actually a child."
"you're right."
Qin Huang nodded, with warmth flashing in his eyes: "I like Fiona, and I have for two whole centuries."
His words were like a stream of cold spring water pouring on Xia Han's back, and the plot mission was completed.
"Did you guess this from the fact that I bought the magic paper?" Qin Huang continued to ask.
"No." Xia Han calmed down after completing the task, and he smiled: "The magic paper made me suspicious, and it was finally determined that it was because of what you said two hundred years ago... You said you wanted to give the ring to the person you like.
.”
"I think you are still not married because Her Highness the Princess rejected you?"
His words shocked Qin Huang, and then the lord of Glory City laughed.
"No..." His smile looked extremely bitter: "I didn't confess to Fiona. I wanted to give her the most beautiful ring. That ring took me fifty years..."
"However... it is so beautiful." Qin Huang's eyes flashed with obsession, and then quickly dimmed: "I dedicated all my youth to that ring. If Fiona refuses to accept it - the most precious thing in my life
After fifty years, I'm afraid it will lose its meaning."
Fifty years... No matter how long life is, youth is always the most precious thing. During the investigation, Xia Han learned that Qin Huang obtained the leadership position forty years after entering the temple. If it had taken him fifty years to make the ring
.Then he has indeed lost his youth, and it will be difficult to enjoy life again after becoming a lord.
Friends, lovers... the lords of Glory City don't have these things.
City of Glory is the largest existence among the three camps. The mages in this camp believe that magic is everything, and the glory of mages is above all else. And their lords need to maintain their glory at all times.
"Ding... found a new plot..."
"Activate the series of plots: For Fiona (Part 4)...Complete the plot conditions: induce Qin Huang to act and let him take the ring to the Elf City...Complete the mission reward: Unknown (appears after the series of missions are completed)"
A new mission is activated.
Xia Han looked at the task and sighed: "Why not hand it over?"
"You are afraid of being rejected...but if you don't hand over the ring." He raised his head and stared at Qin Huang and said, "Is that fifty years of hard work in vain?"
Cowardly people always look for excuses for themselves. Qin Huang is not afraid that fifty years of youth will lose its meaning, he is just afraid of being rejected by Fiona. To induce such a person, one should hit the nail on the head, and Xia Han can be poisonous when he needs a poisonous tongue.
..
'Heart of the Elf' - this is a famous stage play in later generations.
This stage play depicting the end of one love and the beginning of another... is named after a ring... and begins with a young boy discovering the love affair of a human lord...
The lord was finally inspired by the boy to take action. However, this action brought results beyond everyone's expectations.
