The birth of life is often a miracle, especially for elves. This race, which still stands out among many immortal species, has a life cycle that is almost the same as the life of the world. The price of long life is emotional indifference. Compared with humans, elves are slow to emotions and slow to time. They often find it difficult to establish feelings, get married and have children. Some scholars believe that this is a self-defense mechanism. After all, if you live for thousands of years with abundant emotions, it is easy to fall into endless emptiness and torture. And indifferent emotions can also effectively limit the number of elves, preventing this group of long-lived and powerful races from occupying the entire world. It can only be said that nature's design is always just right, better than the most exquisite craftsman. In short, the number of elves is very small, and they are almost extinct. Especially after the Elf Village was destroyed by the army led by the general of the Demon King's army, "Throne Bazalt". Luke was born on a snowy winter night. When his mother Lanis in the cave gave birth to him, she once sighed like this. "Black hair and brown eyes, not at all like an elf."
But when she used magic to illuminate the cave, the blurred face was illuminated and a faint smile appeared again. "But he looks very elf-like." The elf cubs are not as wrinkled as human cubs. They are five or six months old when they are born, and their outlines can be seen. They have smooth and white skin, light fetal hair, and grow at a similar rate to humans. After their bodies reach their peak level, they will stop growing and aging, and live their lives in the most perfect body. Luke stared blankly at the beautiful woman with pointed ears and short green hair in front of him, and then looked down at his round little hands and legs, his eyes confused. "Then it's time to give you a name. What should I call you?" Looking at Luke, who was looking at this strange world with confusion in his eyes, Lanis held her head and thought, and randomly picked out the names of a few acquaintances from her memory bank. Anyway, these people are old and dead, so it doesn't matter if they borrow names. "Karl, Kurt, Fenris..." "ru...ko..." Luke struggled to say his own name, but as a newborn, he could only utter some similar interjections. "Well, what, are you talking?" Lenice stretched out a finger and fiddled with the cub's hand casually, tapping his cheek and poking his belly, as if she was a little surprised at the fragility of this little life. "It's amazing, this thing was born from my belly, am I a mother now? I'm only 795 years old." "ru...ko...ru...ko..." Luke kept repeating his name, trying to get back his naming rights. But it seemed that he was misunderstood by Lenice. She pondered for a moment, remembered that the cub was probably hungry, and gently tapped Luke's forehead with her finger. "Are you hungry?" A faint yellow halo spread from the fingertips to Luke, and he immediately felt a warm and comfortable feeling flowing through his body.
The warm current had a clear target and went straight to her stomach. After circulating for a week, she felt full. "How is it? This is the magic that will make her stomach full for a week. It's very convenient, isn't it?" Facing the baby who should have been ignorant, Lanis proudly put her hands on her waist and was a little surprised when she saw the speechless look in the baby's eyes. "Really? Do you know what I'm talking about? It's an illusion." Luke: "..." I always feel that this person doesn't seem very reliable. ... Taking care of a cub is a very troublesome thing. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all troublesome things. Even with the help of magic, Lanis, who was a mother for the first time, still performed very badly. Luke gave Lanis a lot of help. He would cry when he was hungry, hum when he was thirsty, and slap the stone slab with his hands to make a dull sound when he needed to go to the toilet. The accustomed way of expression saved Lanis a lot of worry after the initial adaptation, although even so, Lanis always acted very tired. The cub took up her time for reading and practicing magic, and also prevented her from going out more conveniently, so she could only try to finish her work during the time she was out, and then go home. Luke's first crisis came quickly. Elves who had never lived together did not know how to take good care of cubs, and the elf village had been destroyed many years ago. That was the twenty-first day after Luke was born. The magic of filling his stomach had lost its effect. Luke cried a few times out of hunger, but never got a response. He struggled to stand up, and found that the confused mother was not at home. Not only did she forget to feed him, but she also left the cub hungry for a long time, and did not come back until late at night two days later. The reason was just because she saw a very beautiful scenery and admired it for a while longer, and this was also the result of her remembering that there was a cub in the cave and she had to go home in time. It can only be said that we can never expect the elves to have a very accurate sense of time, especially for elves like Lanis who are not very careful. If the elf cubs were not much more resilient than human cubs, and Luke did not cry or make a fuss to maintain his strength and water, he might have died. "Sorry, sorry, I won't do it again next time." Lenice clasped her hands together and admitted her mistake to the cub with a bit of shame. "I'm not idle. I have to do some tasks to have financial resources. The satiety magic cannot really replace food. It can be used as a transition in a short period of time. If used for a long time, the stomach will shrink and become damaged." She brought a lot of various fruits. The sweet fruity aroma hit her face and looked particularly tempting. However, because Luke’s teeth had not yet grown in, Lenis could only help the cub with tears. Eat it to avoid wasting it. When she was almost done eating and only had the last one or two fruits left, she realized that the cub was looking at her with a heart-dead expression, and she found her conscience and used magic to squeeze a glass of juice for Luke to drink. Luke, who was being forced to drink the juice, gave Lenis a look that clearly said, "You are not a mother, you are a living father." Afterwards, Lenise decided to leave the cave and take Luke to live where he worked to avoid the embarrassing situation of "leaving home for a trip and returning home with his son already dead". She made a small backpack, carried Luke on her back, and swayed out of the dark cave. From this, Luke saw the outside world.
The towering city walls are majestic, the exquisite houses line up row upon row, and the bright and vivid colors are as beautiful as a painting. Soldiers in armor stood on both sides of the city gate, the streets were filled with various stalls, and children in coarse clothes were playing in the crowd. This is a medieval world of swords and magic. Luke didn't realize where this place was. There were too many similar settings in the fantasy world. He looked around curiously and was carried by Lenis to a gorgeous mansion. The furniture and furnishings in the living room of the mansion are extremely luxurious. An elegant woman sat at the top, and a little boy with blond hair stood next to her, looking at the two of them curiously. "Lenice, is this your child? He looks so cute." "Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Luo Yin. Because it is inconvenient to take care of him, I can't take care of teaching at the same time, so I brought him here. I hope you will allow me to live with the child." Lenis bowed to the elegant woman and spoke warmly. "Of course, I have told you that the cave is not suitable for living." Ms. Luo Yin smiled and nodded. "There are many rooms in the mansion. I will arrange for servants to clean a vacant room for you to live in. Just tell the housekeeper about daily necessities and he will be responsible for purchasing." "Please deduct the expenses from my salary." "No, no, Lenis, every elf is a master that cannot be hired with money. We are already grateful that you can guide Amir, and there is no need to prepare for such a trivial matter." As she spoke, she turned her attention to Luke again, "This child looks so sick. Is there something wrong with him?" Lenise's expression did not change: "Yes, it's because he has lost his appetite recently." Luke: "..." That is to say, his vocal cords are underdeveloped now, otherwise Lenise's crime would have been exposed on the spot. … Ms. Luo Yin herself has a gentle temperament and is kind to others. She is also very gentle to the servants, and she has won the unanimous respect of everyone in the mansion. Her family seems to be a famous noble in the country, and she will see noble guests visiting from time to time, but these have nothing to do with Luke. What really concerns him is Amir. The only son of the family, Amir, is a lively and mischievous kid who just turned six this year. He likes to pick up a wooden sword and slash at the air. He seems to have no interest in being a long-range spellcaster and would rather be a warrior. Every time Lenis gave him a lecture, she always dozed off in a daze, which made Mrs. Luo Yin so angry that she often picked up a pointer and slapped his palms. After Luke arrived, there was one more thing he liked to do, and that was to confide in the elf cubs. "My mother always wanted me to be a mage. What's so good about a mage? I can kill a mage by charging forward with my sword in two strokes." Luke: Why don't you say that the mage can directly defeat the warriors from a distance? "Ms. Lenise's lectures are so boring. She always leaves a bunch of homework for me to write. Please persuade her sometime." Luke: I can’t persuade you to do anything, just wait for death, take my leave.
"Let me tell you a secret." Amir blushed, seeming a little ashamed. "My dream is to go to the land of swords in the northern countries, pull out the sword of the brave, and defeat the devil!" Luke: Young people just like to dream. Generally speaking, the candidates for the Sword of the Brave and the Sword in the Stone have a shady background. They are assigned to some kind of demigod hero, the son of the red dragon, etc. In short, they cannot be ordinary humans. Luke, who was mentally responding to Amir's words out of boredom, suddenly paused. The northern kingdoms, the home of swords, the sword of the brave, the Demon King’s army... Although they were not all new words, why did the combination feel so familiar to him? "Many brave teams have failed, but I believe I can succeed!" Luke's tender face wrinkled. Sure enough, it was the Xinshiji Fuyin warrior!
