Lott would not give up easily. He followed Burris closely, closer than the distance the two usually walked. Burris did not refuse, he did not want to lose his temper like a teenager.

And... is there anything worth losing your temper? Did anyone miss something? It is a good thing for the Bone Maharaja to rescue others in the short seven days of freedom. He hopes that the other party can help him break the curse, which is completely understandable.

Standing on the deck, Burris couldn't help condemning himself: Why have you become so shallow? You are so old, why is your personality becoming more and more naive?

I heard that people will change when they get old, and those who are mature and calm may become nagging and worrying. Burris didn't believe it, because he himself hadn't become that way, and none of the few peers he knew...Now it seems that maybe he has changed, and is changing unconsciously.

But it doesn't seem right... I am twenty years old now!

Burris twisted his hair unconsciously, and began to think about whether physical changes had affected his personality or something. Maybe his mentality was prone to fluctuate and it had something to do with getting younger...

Lot has been following Burris. After staring at the mage for a long time, he finally couldn't help it: "Burris, I've been waiting, why don't you ask me?"

Burris turned his head blankly: "Ask what?"

"You have to let me give you an explanation! When I start to explain, you have to say'I don't want to listen' to me, and then I will find a chance to hug you, or kiss you or something, so that I can continue Go on."

Burris shuddered and wrapped his new clothes tightly. The sea breeze is a bit cold. If it has been so cold, he plans to go to the cabin to add another cloak...

Lott stared at him sincerely, waiting for his reply.

"You say it," Lot urged.

what did I say? ! I can't even speak anymore! Burris cried silently in his heart.

"Then I will tell you directly." Lott had to give up the previous steps, seemingly disappointed. "A hundred years from the seven days when I met you, I showed up during the last seven-day holiday. I met Morvia in the area of ​​Quintilia. You know, before I completely freed myself from the curse, my power was relatively complete. At that time, I didn’t need to use my mouth to cast spells, nor could I fly more than walk. It's still slow... I was flying across the sea and encountered a storm.

"I don’t mind the lightning and thunder, but the boat at sea will not work. I have never tried to rescue a boat from a storm, and I don’t know what to do. When I was hesitating, the boat capsized. There was only one sailor on board. It's Morvia. He passed out when I lifted him out of the waves... Yes, I was flying in the sky, I flew and plunged into the water to save him! I am not like a siren Lift people up from the bottom of the sea!

"Then I took him to Suhi Island, and he happened to set sail from here. I saw something similar to a lighthouse, and there was a beach not far from the tower, so I took the elf to the beach. I hid When it was'easy to walk' behind the rock, someone came over on the beach. It was not an elf, but a middle-aged human. He picked up the elf and my mission was over.

"After that, I changed into a human appearance, which is what I am now, and strolled on the island for a while. During this time, I heard about the identity of the elf, learned that he was called Morvia, and inquired about His gossip. Back then, his mother lived on land for a while, and one day she returned to the island pregnant. It is said that his father’s family was very closed and refused to accept the island elves, so he drove her out... even worse Yes, his mother died of illness shortly after giving birth, leaving only a blonde and fair-skinned Movia who is said to look more like his father. When the elves on the island talked about him, their tone was always mocking and Repulsion, I guess his life was difficult when he was a child.

"When he was approaching adulthood, a human mage appeared on Suhi Island. It seemed to be called Finney or something. He had a good relationship with the elves, and finally built a mage tower and settled on the island. That tower It is the "lighthouse" I saw on the beach, which is the Tower of the Sea Abyss. Morvia has always longed for that mage, he wants to be an apprentice, wants to learn magic, wants to serve that human for a lifetime... but he hasn't been able to find it. To the opportunity.

"Later, he heard that the mage lacked a kind of fish bone for medicine, and he knew which sea area had that kind of fish, so he borrowed a small boat and went out to sea. His sailing skills were very bad and his physical strength was not good enough. Observation is also very touching, so he almost died in the storm.

"Thinking about it. He was a blessing in disguise... He was saved by me, and he was taken back to the tower by the human mage, and then he lived with the human mage naturally..."

"Being an apprentice doesn't mean cohabiting..." Bob Lisboa just wanted to watch the ocean quietly and didn't want to interrupt, but he didn't control it.

After receiving Burris’s response, Lott said more interestingly: "Anyway, the human mage agreed to let him stay. When I met him for the second time, he returned to the hut left by his mother and was planning to get some supplies for daily use. Take it away. Before he left with his things, a group of fishermen suddenly surrounded him. The boat Movia borrowed was theirs. Now Movia is saved, but the boat is buried on the bottom of the sea. This is great for the fishermen. Loss.

"Movia promised to compensate them. He took out everything in his luggage and let them take away at will... Not that I said, this elf was really poor, and the most valuable thing on him was a feather. Pen and a bottle of ink, really.

"Originally, the fishermen planned to take the IOU, but there are a few young elves who have been fanning the narration for fear that the world will not be chaotic. Seeing that they are about to take action against the poor Movia... so I rescued the second time. Up him.

"I did a little trick to scare away the elves. They all knew that Movia wanted to be a mage, and thought it was Movia who cast the spell. This time, I officially appeared in front of Movia and spoke to him for the first time. I chatted for a while, and finally I asked him to help me find something in the tower."

"His mentor's book?" Burris asked.

"Yes. When wandering around the island, I sensed that there is a very old item in the Tower of the Abyss, which may have come from before the plane was cut away. There may be clues to the curse on this kind of antiquities. I cannot go to the tower in person. Go, although the protection of the Mage Tower is nothing to me, but doing so is likely to scare the human to death... and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"So Morvia promised to help me pay attention. He said that because I saved him, he should pay me back. The next day, I met with him at the appointment place, and he said that there was such a thing. , Is an ancient book on parchment. We sat down and talked for a long time, and finally he promised me to help me bring the book out. Of course, I won't take it away, I just want to read it.

"But...in the end he didn't bring the book out. Then he found me crying, saying that his mentor had found a strange smell of undead in him... At this time I had the last day left, I took my own I told him my true identity. I also told him, if you really can’t get the book out, don’t be embarrassed. I will go to the tower to read by myself tonight.

"He doesn't agree with life and death, saying that this will make him suspect by the mentor, and also begs me not to ruin his just getting better life... In fact, what he said makes sense, and I don't want to be discovered by that human mage. It is possible to regard me as a major discovery, or to tell the world what happened to me, I can't kill him...I don't want to be treated as a monster that will be resurrected in a century.

"Before the seventh day came, Morvia read some historical materials and religious books all night. He learned more about my identity, and he also made a special trip to find me, vowing to help me solve the curse. He said he was an elf and had a long lifespan. There are many opportunities. In the future, he will definitely devote his life to research to find the swamp of the dead and find a way to release me as soon as possible. As you know, he will soon forget about it."

Burris chuckled and couldn't help saying: "My lord, it's actually a normal person to leave this kind of promise behind. It's understandable."

"But you are different," Lot said, "you did it."

"Yeah. So, you waited for him for a hundred years, and you found that there was no hope, so you chose me. Then it took me more than sixty years to finally find you."

Lott asked in a low voice, "Dear Burris...Are you jealous?"

Burris shook his head: "Why would I be jealous of a wizard who is inferior to my own? To be jealous, he should be jealous of me."

"It's not a question of who is powerful with spells," Lott apologized, "I made you misunderstand and disappointed you. You think I'm lying to you, thinking I'm confessing my heart to every mage... but not. "

As he said, he supported the shoulders of the mage, "Burris, you are different from others. Let me tell you, I confessed my identity to eleven people, and they all promised to break the curse for me, including you. , You are the last time. The first ten times are not the same as the last time. In the first ten times, I met, talked, and helped each other with them. I dreamed of regaining freedom, but I never imagined that after regaining freedom, I would continue with They live together.

"I never thought about kissing them, never tried to love them, never continued to miss them after returning to the swamp of the dead. I have been separated many times, and the only thing that really made me painful was Sand The time the border of Nigeria left you. Yes, I have expected it eleven times, and the only thing that really made me think about it day and night was the last time."

Burris could not say a word.

He doesn't know whether he believes it or not, and he doesn't know if Lott is right... He doesn't know how to answer, how to understand, or how to respond...

He didn't intentionally fail to respond, he was really a blank brain.

For example, when a farmer in his eighties comes into contact with magic for the first time, he will be shocked, at a loss, and a little scared. He would silently think: Maybe young people still have the possibility of taking a risk, but I can't. How can I handle this?

The old farmer could neither deny the existence of magic nor accept it smoothly. So he had no choice but to avoid it and not think about it. If he is unlucky, he will escape until the end of his life.

If it is the first time that a mage in his eighties comes into contact with the so-called admiration... the reaction is probably nothing more than that.

When Burris' head was empty, the distant port was clearly visible, and the ship was about to arrive at Suhi Island.

Lott gently took the mage to his side: "Burris, sorry, I made you unhappy. But to be honest, I am a little happy again. I know you have never been in a relationship in your entire life, and you can't handle it... So you I have never responded positively to me. I understand this and I accept it because this is the most real you... I am really a little happy this time, and I got a very intuitive response this time."

Speaking of this, he paused and asked, "Uh, Burris, do you want to go back to the cabin?"

"What?" The mage who looked at the distance in a daze finally had a reaction.

"You are cold. The sea breeze is indeed a bit cold now. Let's go back to the cabin or I will find another piece of clothing."

Burris has been feeling cold ever since. Huishanjing’s island is humid and sultry, but near Suxi Island, it is cloudy and windy.

These islands are all within the confines of Quintilia. In this season, how could Quintilea be so cold?

He raised his head and happened to see the Tower of the Sea Abyss in the distance. It stands on the edge of a promontory, the top of the tower exudes a steady magical light.

This kind of light is very conspicuous, and it can be seen probably throughout Suhi Island and nearby waters. It is very soft, not dazzling, melts into the sun during the day, and looks like a bright moon at night.

At dusk, the light is most conspicuous. When the sky was red, it was the only cool color in the field of vision.
