Chapter 668 Girl, he is more like an orthodox elf than me
The firelight danced, reflecting the figure of the young man standing by the fireplace, and also gave his long silver hair a color like the sunset.
After Sola looked at him calmly, his eyes fell on his long hair. When the young man turned around, he naturally looked into those silver-white pupils.
She paused, and then looked away as if feeling a little uncomfortable.
Xu Shuo smiled slightly and walked over with a cup of poured black tea. He did not hand it to the girl, but placed it on the high table.
The table is covered with a soft dark red plaid blanket, and the porcelain white wrists are even more shining.
Sola stared at it for a while, but did not touch the cup of tea.
After Xu Shuo sat down on the footstool opposite, she pretended to be cold and said: "What did you mean by the dragon clan just now? And why were you there at that time?"
Xu Shuo drank tea and looked surprised when he heard this: "Huh? You should be a descendant of the elves, too. Don't you know about the dragons?"
Sola's heart skipped a beat, and the hand resting on his waist retracted his fingers nervously.
She still looked confused: "What do you mean? How...how did you know that I am...a descendant of elves?"
"Because I am also a descendant of the elves. I felt the aura of my tribe when I saw you. Don't you feel it?" Xu Shuo said in surprise.
"...I'm not very proficient in this aspect." Sora paused and said.
I'm so sorry, she really doesn't feel anything.
But it doesn't seem good to veto it directly. Let's not say whether what this person said before is true or not, she will also use this to obtain more information from the other party.
After Xu Shuo heard this, he nodded seriously: "Indeed, humans and elves will lose a lot of blood power when they are mixed. I also feel this because I am good at magic. By the way.
, which family’s bloodline are you from?”
Sora: "..."
Sora looked into those silver eyes for a long time, then pursed his lips and said: "My family has declined, and now I am the only one left. I don't understand these things."
"Sorry, I feel very sorry for that."
Xu Shuo felt pity for a while.
Then he picked up the black tea and drank a few more sips. Then he saw that the flames in the fireplace seemed a little weak, so he went over and added some wood.
He kept silent and stopped raising the subject, but the girl became slightly embarrassed.
After he sat back at the table, Sora couldn't help but asked: "Um, you haven't told the black dragon and... what happened just now?"
Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, because I see that you don't seem to know much about the descendants of elves, so I think it's better that you don't know some things. This is also for the sake of your future."
Sora opened his mouth speechlessly.
She acted like that because she wanted to be on guard. She didn't expect that it would become an obstacle to obtaining information. The reason was actually "for your own good"??
I'm almost dead. Do I still have a future?
After thinking about it, Sola hinted tactfully: "I am already twenty years old this year."
Xu Shuo nodded happily: "He is also a big child. By the way, do you have a child?"
Sora: "...No."
"But isn't it already this year for you... If you can't get married because of the decline of your family, I can help you." Xu Shuo showed the amiability of his elders.
"...I don't think I need it."
Sora's expression was almost unsustainable.
Thanks to the blind date, the person will die in half a month, and the child will not have time to become an embryo.
She picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip. After hesitating, she said, "Sir, I actually read about the blood curse from family records."
Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly: "So you already know. In this case, there is nothing I can hide from you.
That’s it.”
…
Thousands of years ago, the elves actually had a brief history of intermarriage with humans.
Love is such a wonderful thing.
Although there is no harmony between the elves in the far north and the humans on the mainland, there are still some elves who fall in love with some humans and give birth to mixed-blood offspring.
Xu Shuo actually didn't know much about the existence of mixed-race families, but it was not difficult to guess these situations from the fragments of historical records.
And the reason why he knew about the curse was because of the few words Luo Kun mentioned before.
Curse, prey.
The grudge between the two races that happened thousands of years ago.
Considering the girl's previous appearance in the city-state of Turnus and her experience of going out to sea on a ship, it is not difficult to guess that the other party's purpose may be for the dragon curse.
But the Dragon Clan has not appeared for thousands of years.
It also means that I haven’t “hunted” for a long time.
Then, if she just wants to get rid of her status as a prey, there is no need for the girl's character to go to such great lengths to find Black Dragon Island.
After all, before this, whether the dragon clan still existed or not was still a question.
Unless that curse is related to her life.
…
Xu Shuo didn't know the specifics of the curse, but that didn't stop him from avoiding the most important things and carefully avoiding these related topics.
The girl was willing to follow him here, probably because of the "Black Dragon Clan" he mentioned in the alley, and she wanted to get news about the Dragon Clan from here.
Thinking about this, Xu Shuo pondered and said: "Your family records are actually correct. We descendants of the elves do have the curse of the dragon on our bodies, and the marks in our bodies can be tracked by the dragon and become their prey. That dragon just now
They were probably attracted here by the curse on us."
In addition to not knowing the identity of the prey, Sola had already guessed other things, otherwise she would not have tried every means to block the other party's tracking.
only……
She looked at the young man's appearance and asked hesitantly: "Um...sir, do you also have a curse in your body?"
Xu Shuo smiled at her: "As long as we are elves, we will have curse marks. Although we are a mixture of humans and elves, we have been cursed because of this bit of elven blood."
Hearing this, Sola said calmly: "I want to know, are you also coming to Sars city-state to find the black dragon to lift the curse?"
"Absolutely. I came here after hearing about traces of black dragons in the Western Continent. I'm not really insistent on lifting the curse," Xu Shuo said.
"That's it..."
Sola gently put down the tea cup and suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"
Xu Shuo raised his eyes to look at her. Although his silver eyes were bright and clear, they were too empty and lacked any emotion.
He curled up his lips and said, "Same as you."
Same, that's twenty years old.
That age when death is imminent.
But why can this man remain so calm?
Sora turned his head and looked slightly, seeing the young man's face still cold against the firelight.
He had a light and elegant smile, and his long, smooth silver hair hung down on his shoulders. There was also a section of delicate braided hair coiled around the back of his head, intertwined and fixed by silver laurels. His eyebrows and eyes were as smooth as jade, and he looked as bright as the wind and the moon.
I heard that the elves in the far north all have white hair and white eyes, with skin as jade as snow, and an eerie appearance, just like the arrival of the moon god at night.
And now I looked at the man in front of me.
Sora couldn't help but look at his black hair.
Then, I thought about my rough skin due to frequent exposure to the wind and sun, and somehow felt that the other person was real and she was a fake elf.
Obviously there is no problem with her identity.
But there is something about her that is related to elves, probably that
She has a pair of silver-gray eyes, but the other person looks more like an orthodox Elf than her.
Now that he told the other party that he was also a descendant of the elves, Sora felt ashamed of himself.
…
She moved her hair uncomfortably and said: "You are twenty years old...then you are not worried about the curse? Or has your family already found a way to suppress the curse?"
When talking about the latter part, Sola's eyes flickered slightly.
Xu Shuo already had a general idea in his mind, so he nodded and said, "Indeed, I can tell you if you want to know."
Sora suddenly became energetic: "What kind of method?"
"Dawn Magic."
Saying this, Xu Shuo's hand flashed with silver light, and a full moon-shaped mark appeared.
The full moon is round, and there are three slender rings of stars criss-crossing the silver moon disk, exuding gleaming light and full of sacred feeling.
Well, this is the magic he created by imitating the mark of the Sun Crown.
A fake dawn magic.
The mixed bloodline has been inherited for thousands of years. Judging from the girl's appearance, the elf blood in her body is probably very rare.
So Xu Shuo was confident that the other party wouldn't be able to tell.
If they are not orthodox elves, they will basically not possess true dawn magic. Just like the far north elves have never recognized the existence of mixed races as orthodox.
Mixed bloods like this are generally not well-received on the human continent, and they are not well-received among the elves.
Pride and Prejudice are even more severe in the differences between races.
This is indeed the case.
Sora's family has always lived in anonymity. Even if their descendants intermarried with humans, they would not dare to tell the other party that they were a mixed descendant of humans and elves unless they had a deep friendship.
Until now, very few people know Sola's identity. Even her father's family has never known her mother's mixed-race identity.
After turning fifteen, Sora, who learned of his fate from his mother, immediately ran away from home, took the mixed-race family records left by his mother, and embarked on a rough road to lift the curse.
Family records do mention the deeds of other mixed-race families.
It's just that the handbook is also very old, and the records from earlier times are more or less missing.
So Sora is not sure either.
Is the person in front of me really a hybrid descendant of elves?
But it is undeniable that the method offered by the other party to suppress the curse attracted her.
The girl does not seek to truly lift the curse, as long as she can ensure that she does not die during the period in the script, and Sora's future really has nothing to do with her.
As for side missions...
Let’s survive for now.
So looking at the mark on the young man's hand, Sola's eyes couldn't hide the burning heat.
She asked expectantly: "I have also heard of Dawn Magic. It is the magic of the elves, right? Can it really help me suppress the curse in my body?"
Xu Shuo waved away the light magic in his hand and said as if thinking: "It is useful, but I may not know whether it will work on you, because my family has a deep connection with the elves, and it is difficult to use this kind of magic."
It’s not difficult.”
Sora paused: "Can't I learn?"
She wanted to say that the character itself was actually pretty good at magic, and after she entered the role, she also used the notes left behind to review a lot of magic knowledge.
Xu Shuo shook his head and said: "It's not a question of whether you can learn magic or not, but if your bloodline is not strong, you may not be able to use the characteristics of the elves to suppress the curse."
"Bloodline..." Sora looked at him with confusion.
"You should know that the elves in the Far North Mountains can control monsters," Xu Shuo said.
"I've heard of it." Sola nodded.
"This is the power of elves derived from blood.
Strength, just like lions are born to be the king of the forest, because their blood has the ability to suppress the weak." Xu Shuo's tone was low and gentle, and he was good at tempting.
Sora listened, thoughtful and suddenly enlightened.
For example, when she was inexplicably chased by the dragon in the city-state of Turnus last night, she instinctively felt a sense of fear, so she ran away without even thinking.
And this feeling was probably not because she was afraid of the dragon, but because the curse mark in her body made her feel afraid.
To a certain extent, this is also bloodline suppression.
Otherwise, the dragons would not regard the elves as prey.
Xu Shuo continued: "The elves who married my family had a very high status in the elves, so the power of blood and the magic of dawn have been passed down. This is why our family can find a way to suppress the curse."
Sora understood after hearing this.
She was stunned for a moment, glanced at her black hair, and then felt more and more that she was a fake...
As a descendant of elves, I seem to have nothing but a curse that has been passed down.
Even magic is magic that has been released from the mainland.
She said awkwardly: "Sir, can you let me try it?"
Regardless of whether it works or not, try it first and then talk about it.
Xu Shuo said hesitantly: "You can give it a try, but if I want to teach you this dawn magic, I need to use magical power to contact your body. Can you accept it?"
His words were sincere and full of consideration for the girl, without any coercion.
Sora's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
Touch the body with magical power...
Isn't that equivalent to entrusting her own safety to the other party? If this person has evil intentions, she will probably fall into the trap.
Her first reaction after hearing this was to refuse.
only……
The girl thought about the crisis she encountered when she was chased by the dragon twice, and then thought about the curse of dying in half a month, and she couldn't help but hesitate.
This person may not necessarily be an enemy...
Moreover, Sora's character cannot be destined to die. Before the final battle between the two camps, there will definitely be a way to suppress his curse.
So maybe the young man who appears here is also a part of the plot?
After all, the story about the revelation of Black Dragon Island had spread from the city-state of Turnus yesterday, so it is possible that other mixed-blood descendants of elves would come after hearing the news.
And it's possible that they can deal with the curse.
Sola thought about this anxiously, then picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip.
After taking a sip of cold water, she felt that her thoughts had become much clearer.
Thinking about it carefully, no matter whether these possibilities exist or not, in the face of a life and death crisis, she must first find a way to save her own life!
So the girl solemnly said: "Yes, I want to learn this magic!"
