Chapter 1198 Gretel: My mother, has she ever mentioned my name?
As soon as Grete said these words, the atmosphere at the Well of Eternity suddenly stiffened. Elder Fahim restrained his smile and looked at Gretel worriedly;
Idian paused the movement of trying his strength, and Ash Yuesong turned around from the outside of the crowd and walked quickly towards Gretel;
Archmage Balbo didn't make any move, he just darkened his face, and his eyes lightly touched Elder Melinsela. He took a step across, half sideways in front of Grete, and stared at the elves without saying a word.
.
The one who moved the most was Serila. Without thinking, the silver dragon girl took a step across and took the initiative to hold Gretel's hand. The silver dragon girl's face showed a look of sympathy and worry:
"Gretel..."
"I'm fine."
Grete's expression softened a little. He gently swung his arm, broke away from Cerela's hand, and patted the back of her white and delicate hand. His voice was soft, and he even managed to squeeze out a smile:
"I'm really fine."
Serila held his hand with force again. The silver dragon girl's usually cold palm was now warm and wrapped around his fingers. After warming it for a while, she slid it up and touched his palm with her palm.
.
Soon, the other hand came closer, as if trying to transfer body heat to his body and dispel the infinite chill in his heart.
Grete really smiled. He put his hands together, patted the back of Cerela's hand again, and said in a soft voice:
"Don't worry. I'm really fine. It's over - it's been a long, long time."
To be fair, Gretel, Wu Zhou to be precise, has no grudges against the elves.
He is not the child who lost his mother when he was young and grew up with his father.
It’s not like that kid who eats food from hundreds of families, wears clothes from hundreds of families, and is surrounded by ladies and aunties who help wash and mend clothes and take care of their daily lives.
Not that kid who lost his father before he was ten years old, was raised by his father's comrades, and joined the city guard at the age of 16...
However, if he hadn't traveled through time, what would have been the original little Gretel's life trajectory?
He joined the City Guards at the age of 16. Relying on the inheritance left by his father, if he is talented, lucky, and diligent, he may be able to become a level 3 or level 4 warrior in his early 20s.
As for passing the level 5 mark and becoming a knight, maybe you can do it, but maybe you won't be able to do it in your lifetime.
Of course, if the talent is not good enough and the luck is not enough... In fact, when Wu Zhou traveled through time, the original little Gretel was already dead...
Saying that I miss you, loving you. Saying that I regard you as one of the elves, saying that the blood of the elves flows in my body. Saying that, as long as you reach level 10, you can light up the pendant and find it in Yongju Island.
road?
If I never reach level 10 in my life, does that mean that I have no value to the elves, that I am not worthy of going to Evermeet Island, or even of meeting any elves?
In a place like Heartland City, a small town with only 20,000 people, where the highest level knights and spellcasters are no more than level 10, it is so difficult to think of reaching level 10...
Gretel does not resent these elves, nor does he resent his original mother—in any case, the elf woman gave birth to the child named Gretel Nordmark.
However, he really felt a little aggrieved for the former child named Little Gretel.
Why, in the past ten years, I have been indifferent and never showed up when the child needed it. Now I see that the child has grown up and become an adult. He has become a 12th-level nature priest and a 12th-level mage, making things that all the elves want.
What an amazing thing——
Then he came over and said, our blood is flowing in your body, you are one of our own, we invite you to visit Elf Island?
hehe.
The elven elders exchanged glances with each other quickly. Behind them, the elves who had not yet reached the legend, including Ash Moonsong, Idian and others, held their breath and did not dare to say a word. For a while, Melinser
Elder La coughed lightly:
"Hey, Grete, things may not be what you imagine... If you don't have to, without a mother, you will leave your young child behind..."
"So what?" Grete said softly:
"Break up the couple, take the mother away from the young child, and leave no backup for the child... Yes, the mother may indeed have her responsibilities to bear, but has anyone thought about that child?"
Elder Melinsela was choked. Grete continued speaking in one breath:
"No one has ever thought about, what if something happens to the child's father? What if the child's father fails to protect the child? What if... the child's father remarries, and the child needs to make a living under his stepmother?
Woolen cloth?"
"Ahem, Grete, you don't understand the history of the elves. There are some things that you don't know clearly." Elder Fahim had no choice but to speak:
"At the earliest, when the elves retreated, they took away many human partners and their children from the mainland. However, because of the natural lifespan gap between humans and elves, as well as the difference in qualifications, many tragedies occurred..."
Gretel remained silent, staring into his eyes, waiting for him to continue. Elder Fahim sighed:
"Neither the northern part of the New World nor the large forests here are places where lower-level professionals can live happily. Even if we try our best to take care of them, they have a very bad life. Later..."
He sighed again, as if he wanted to spit out all the tragedies he had seen along with the breath in his lungs:
"Later, it gradually became a convention that elves and humans combine to live in the human realm as much as possible. Especially partners and children with lower professional levels should not be brought to Yongju Island."
"oh."
Gretel shrugged indifferently. He could probably understand the elf's thinking: the life span gap would be left here anyway, and it would be fine to wait until the partner dies and the children can stand on their own feet and then return to Evermeet Island.
Of course, sometimes if operations are not done properly, there will be cases like Little Gretel or Ms. Jasmine. Then, well, whose children will be unlucky if this happens to them.
"As for Grete... your mother didn't come to you, nor did she send anyone to come to you. Maybe she had to face difficulties. Maybe you know her name? I can help you ask about Yongju Island.
what's the situation……"
Gretel was silent. He looked across from the Well of Eternity, his gaze penetrated the forest, crossed the waves, and cast his gaze towards the distant Old Continent.
He turned to the place where his father and mother met, fell in love, and eloped hand in hand. He turned to the Kingdom of Kent, the small town where he spent his first sixteen years. After a long time, he whispered:
"My mother's name? My mother - the mother of this body, she never mentioned my name on the Isle of Evermeet?"
