After returning to the castle, Reggie hugged Calaf and laughed loudly, completely ignoring the strange looks around him.
After the two people calmed down, Reggie thought of another question.
"Grand Maester, is that iron rule you mentioned true? Is it really impossible for a witch to master the same type of magic as a wizard?"
"It is true, my lord," Batchelor said, "that girl is not a wizard."
"Then she is..."
"My lord, she is one of our own!" Calaf laughed loudly, "She is an elf, the same elf as us."
"We...we?" This statement made Reggie a little embarrassed.
"Sir, you don't have to hide it. I can sense the existence of similar people. I know that you are our Holy Lord, the great Chaos Elf." Kalaf's face turned red and his voice was trembling. "Great Holy Lord."
Lord, that girl is also your loyal subject. I am sure that she is as loyal as me. Broken Snow City is the territory of the elves! Our people will usher in new glory under your glory."
The territory of elves?
It seems that Khalaf's ambitions need to be re-evaluated.
Bachelo scolded Calaf a few words, and Calaf restrained himself somewhat.
But his judgment was correct, Natalie was indeed an elf.
"Wind-riding elves, one of the rarest ethnic groups among elves, have relevant records in Volume 2, Volume 6, Chapter 11 of the Ancient History of Elves. Some people once said that this mysterious ethnic group perished two hundred years ago.
, I really didn’t expect this girl to be alive.” Batchelor could remember every book he had read, and Reggie even suspected that he had a large-capacity hard drive installed in his brain.
"But this doesn't make sense logically," Reggie fell into conflict. "Elves and humans are not the same race. The parents of elves can only be elves. Is Marwan Rudd also an elf?"
"Of course not, my lord, Marwan is just a stupid scumbag, and his wife is just a poor woman," Batchelor once again showed off his incredible memory, "According to Volume 5 of the Ancient History of the Elf, Part 2
According to the description in Chapter 7, her parents should be exiled elves."
"Uh... Volume 5, right?" Reggie laughed dryly. "You don't have to explain the source in such detail. Just tell me what the Exiled Elves are."
According to Batchelor's description, the exiled elves are the prisoners of the elves.
Elves live in an archipelago far away from the mainland. They also have their own kingdoms and their own laws. But all elves abide by an iron law. They cannot kill each other. The most severe punishment is for elves who violate the law.
, that is, being exiled to the mainland, the world where humans live.
Because they do not understand the laws of the human world and have extraordinary abilities, the exiled elves are very miserable. Most of them will be hunted by the God of Punishment, and a few will become slaves. Kalaf is a typical example.
His parents were exiled elves. After they were exiled to the mainland, they soon became slaves. As the child of a slave, Calaf was born a slave.
But some elves want to change the fate of their descendants, and they think of another method. This method is similar to a legend that Reggie is familiar with: a civet cat exchanges for a prince.
Natalie probably became Marwan Rudd's daughter through this method.
On the day Natalie was born, Marwan was out gambling, and his wife suffered a difficult childbirth. At that time, Marwan had already shown his scumbag nature, and he didn't care about the life or death of his wife and children.
According to neighbors, this poor woman was on the verge of death due to severe bleeding. She could not afford a doctor and no one was willing to help her. Everyone thought that she and her child would definitely die.
But a miracle happened. An old woman walked into her home. She only took two silver coins. No one knew how she used the method to make the woman give birth to a child and save her life.
Since then, people have never seen the old woman again. People do not know her name, nor do they remember her appearance. They only remember that she always carried a basket in her hand.
According to Batchelor's inference, this old woman should be Natalie's real mother. She took Natalie to Marwan's house in a basket, and then took Marwan's child away in a basket.
After listening to Batchelor's story, Reggie asked: "My child was replaced by an elf. Didn't Natalie's mother notice?"
Batchelor sighed and said: "What if she notices it? How dare she say anything? Does she want to be burned to death by the God of Punishment, or beaten to death by Marwan?"
Reggie thought for a moment and then asked, "How do you know these things?"
Khalaf said: "When Natalie came to the factory, I noticed that she was different. I did some research secretly, and it turned out that it was exactly what I thought. She is the same kind as us. She is really the same kind as us."
"The term 'we' still needs to be considered..." Reggie quickly changed the awkward topic, "Now we must let this girl survive. You can send more holy medicine to Imma for skin testing.
You need to observe it for a while, the physique of elves may be different from that of humans, so you should try to be more cautious."
After seeing off the grand maester and Calaf, the tired Reggie quickly fell asleep. At dawn the next day, the maid Doris brought milk and bread. The young girl spent most of her time working in the garden and in the bedroom.
Seeing her somewhat surprised Reggie.
"Where's Shirley?"
"Shirley is sick," Dorothy replied. "She took a bath with cold water last night and seems to have caught a cold. Do you want to see her? I will call her over immediately."
"No, let her rest for a day." Reggie wanted to eat a piece of bread, but felt his mouth was dry, so he chose milk first.
He picked up the milk can and just put it to his mouth when he heard a crash outside the door.
"What sound?"
Dorothy was startled, turned around and said, "You eat first, I'll go take a look."
Just as Dorothy turned around, the crash sounded again, and Shirley's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir...Sir, sir!"
Dorothy was so frightened that she trembled all over. Reggie said: "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and take a look."
He opened the door, but saw Shirley lying at the door with a pale face. Her hands were full of mud. She had crawled over with all her strength.
Reggie quickly helped Shirley up, only to hear Shirley say intermittently: "Sir, you can't, you can't eat it, it's poisonous!"
"What are you talking about? Are you talking about...my breakfast?"
A chill surged from behind.
Reggie slowly turned around, only to see Dorothy holding a dagger and already standing behind Reggie.
