In the dim hall, the sound of burning candles continued to sound all around.
There were people walking around from time to time, seemingly looking for their place.
After a while, when Andela arrived, there were already several people sitting around.
They were several elves in gorgeous clothes, and they looked very young. At this moment, when they heard Andra's voice coming in, they couldn't help but look towards him.
"It seems that everyone has received the news."
Looking at the elves sitting around him, Andela nodded, and then said: "Does anyone here know the specific situation?"
As his words fell, there was silence for a moment. It was not until a while later that anyone spoke.
"The news came from the border of the Clore family. The person who conveyed the news was a core member trained by our family."
A middle-aged elf wearing a black robe spoke, and he was a little confused at this time: "The other person is holding the emblem of our family, but he calls himself Adil Farkus. He is not a member of our family."
"According to the other party's claim, his family emblem comes from his mother."
At this time, another elf interjected: "In other words, the mother of this official wizard should be a member of our family, but I don't know which one she is."
"Farkus..."
At the front, listening to the words of the two commanders below, Andra also frowned and said: "I have never heard of this surname. I am afraid it is not a local family, but a wizard family from the outside world."
He raised his head and looked at the elves below: "Does anyone know about this surname?"
After listening to his words, the people below looked at each other in confusion, and finally shook their heads, feeling a little confused about this.
It's no wonder that if it is really a wizard family native to the Meissen area, then based on their family's history, if you search carefully, you might actually be able to find some relevant records.
However, the Farkus family is not in the Meissen area, and it is only a small family that has long since declined. It lives on a deserted continent and has no reputation at all in the wizarding world.
Under such circumstances, it would be really damning if they could find out the news about the Farkus family.
"Farkus..."
But at this moment, below, listening to this last name, one of them kept mumbling to himself. Listening to this last name, it seemed a little familiar.
This is a very beautiful female elf, with long black hair flowing down, and fair skin, as if carved from jade.
At this moment, she was sitting somewhere in the living room, listening to the last name "Fakus", and seemed to think of something, but she was a little unsure.
"Lilith, what's wrong?"
As if aware of something strange about her, Andra asked aloud from above: "Are there any clues?"
In an instant, the surrounding eyes were all focused on Lilith, with some expectation in their eyes.
"I just suddenly remembered something."
Being stared at by the people around her, Lilith hesitated for a while, and then said: "Lord Andra, do you still remember the group of tribesmen who migrated here ten years ago?"
"Of course I remember."
Andela nodded, and then his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.
"Among those tribesmen, there was a girl named Latina, who impressed me deeply because of her talent as a wizard."
Under Andra's gaze, Lilith slowly spoke.
"That being said, I seem to have some impression."
Someone on the side interjected: "This junior is a rare half-elf with very good talent. It is said that he was successfully promoted to a trainee priest two years ago. If it weren't for the fact that he has human blood in his body, he would even be qualified to become one of our successor candidates."
.”
Having said this, the man paused and asked with some uncertainty: "Could it be?"
"good."
Lilith nodded: "This girl's human surname happens to be Farkus."
"I have been in contact with her and heard her mother say that she seems to have a younger brother..."
Sitting there, she paused for a moment before speaking: "If the surname of this new official wizard is really Farkus, then it is very likely that he is Latina's brother."
"According to this, wouldn't the age of this official wizard be just in his early twenties?"
Sitting in another corner, a middle-aged elf frowned and said in disbelief: "You are promoted to an official wizard at such a young age?"
Unlike humans who generally mature precociously, the elves have a longer lifespan and have a relatively longer growth period. This is especially true for these elven nobles who inherit the thin blood of moon elves in their bodies.
For elven aristocrats whose life span can generally reach two hundred years, they must be forty years old before they can be considered adults, and their wizard qualifications can be considered at their peak.
Correspondingly, during the growth period, because the soul qualifications are still growing, elves will be very slow to improve their spiritual power through meditation. Except for some geniuses, the speed is generally not as fast as that of human apprentices of the same age.
This situation will last until the elves reach adulthood. However, due to the long growth period, among the elves, even if they are talented apprentices, if everything goes well, they will have to wait until they reach adulthood if they want to be promoted to official wizards.
.
Adil was promoted to an official wizard at the age of early twenties. For humans, he was considered an absolute genius. For the elves, he was even more astonishing and unimaginable.
"It's not impossible."
In the front, Lilith also frowned a little, and then relaxed: "If this official wizard named Adier is really Latina's brother, then he must also be a half-elf."
"Although the lifespan of a half-elf is also relatively long, it is not as good as pure-blood nobles like us, and the natural growth period is relatively shorter."
"However, even for a half-elf, this speed is amazing."
Someone on the side spoke, and said with some sigh: "Even among those short-lived humans, he is an absolute genius, and his qualifications may be above the fourth level."
"Let's stop this issue for now."
Sitting quietly above, listening to the discussion of the people below, Andra couldn't help but say: "To be promoted to a formal wizard, your talent is naturally outstanding. But the most important thing now is to prepare immediately."
"According to the intelligence that has been transmitted, this wizard is now walking towards our family. Calculating the time, he may arrive in three or four days. We must be ready to receive him as soon as possible."
Having said this, he turned to look at Lilith: "Lilith, you go notify Latina and her tribe to confirm the matter of this official wizard."
"Once confirmed, you should know what to do, right?"
"I understand." Lilith nodded, her expression understanding.
"In addition, send people to the city to spread the word that an official wizard from far away in our family's early years is about to return, and we are here to prepare for it now."
Andela looked serious and reminded emphatically: "Remember, the welcoming ceremony must be big, and all the surrounding families must know the news!"
"But... the other party is not a wizard from our family. Would it be possible to promote it like this..."
After listening to Andra's words, several people below looked at each other, and one of them seemed a little hesitant.
"Since the other party admits that he has the blood of our family in his body, he is our wizard!"
Listening to the words that sounded below, Andra glared at the man fiercely: "Moreover, no matter how bad the situation is, can it still be as bad as it is now?"
"Yes." After hearing this, the man below did not continue speaking, but nodded heavily.
In another courtyard, the sound of running water was heard continuously.
This is a very old courtyard. Although it looks quite big, it has been there for some years. Many places inside look very dilapidated, as if no one has maintained it for a long time.
In the land in the yard, there are still many weeds growing wantonly, making the surroundings look a bit desolate.
It was noon at this time, and several elves were working in the courtyard.
They were dressed in coarse cloth, and their bodies were soaked with sweat from the work. They could not see the elegance and mystery of the elves at all.
There were both men and women in this group of elves, and they all looked pretty young. At this time, one of them, a very mature-looking female elf, held a piece of coarse cloth in her hand, walked straight to the wooden chair on the side, and sat down directly.
It was a fairly beautiful female elf, who looked like a thirty-year-old human being, but her skin looked a little dark due to the wind and sun.
"Curtis..."
At this time, other elves also slowly walked over, and one after another came nearby. One of them, a female elf who looked slightly younger, spoke, looked at the middle-aged female elf in front of him, and said curiously: "Recently,
Lady Lilith often comes to see you, is there something wrong?"
"I don't know."
Listening to the other party's culture, the female elf named Curtis shook her head slightly: "Ms. Lilith asked me about my previous experiences, and then gave me some magic stones so that I don't have to continue working."
"Speaking of which, so are you, Curtis."
At this time, a handsome young elf walked aside and looked at Curtis: "Isn't your child already promoted to a trainee priest? Why are you still here to take care of these materials and follow your daughter directly?
Wouldn’t it be nice to live together?”
"It's not easy for Latina either."
Curtis shook his head: "It's getting more and more dangerous outside now. I heard that many of the family's business routes have been cut off recently, and the family's income is getting lower and lower. The so-called trainee priests originally only had a few magic coins per month.
Stones are becoming less and less now.”
"I'd better cultivate the materials here obediently, save a few more magic stones, and let her take more classes on her own."
She shook her head and said with a chuckle.
Listening to her words, the other elves around them fell silent.
In fact, most of the reasons why the few elves present stayed were just like this.
Cultivating materials is not an easy task. Not only does it require a lot of knowledge, but it also requires a lot of experience. Sometimes a plant may be destroyed if you are not careful.
Those who would come here to cultivate materials are actually hardly ordinary people.
However, even so, for some reason, they still chose to stay here, braving the scorching sun and sweating, just for the generous reward of a magic stone in half a year.
There was silence for a moment until a voice continued to sound.
"Speaking of which, what did Lady Lilith talk about when she came to see you before?"
An elf smiled and said: "We can't really just talk about life and experiences."
"Of course not."
Curtis also smiled: "Ms. Lilith also asked me about my other child..."
"You have another child?" Everyone present was a little surprised, and a desire to gossip suddenly arose in their hearts.
"He's Latina's brother."
Not knowing what he thought of, Curtis suddenly became a little silent, and then said: "My other child, if he goes by the name that human being named him back then, he should be called Adil."
"His talent is very good... Even though he was just born, I can see that this child's talent is much stronger than Latina's."
Sitting there, Curtis murmured: "It's a pity... that man looked at him too closely. I had no choice but to take Latina away not long after he was born..."
"Don't be sad..."
On the side, a female elf saw her appearance, patted her shoulder with great understanding, and then said with relief: "You are lucky to be able to bring your daughter to us alive."
"Besides, maybe your son will come to see you when he grows up in the future."
"I hope so." After hearing this, Curtis also smiled, then lowered his head and said no more.
At this time, outside the courtyard, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came.
