Gretel slowly lowered his head, feeling that his neck was rattling, rattling, and rattling. You poured out these piles, piles, piles of things, and then told me that these were brought by my mother.
mine?
With just this glance, Gretel saw a silver sword, which was shorter than the long sword used by adults. It was probably for the young Gretel;
A long sword for adults, the hilt of the sword is tightly wrapped with ropes, and from the gaps in the ropes, you can see the light of dots of gems;
Several large and thick books have covers made of blue-gray inner bark of trees with hidden magical power. The cursive characters on the covers are exactly the same as the handwriting Gretel saw in the original mother's letters;
One after another, boxes made of various materials rolled down and rustled. I don’t know what magic materials were contained inside...
And what occupies the largest area and attracts the most attention is the sets of clothes. Silver grey, gray green, light green, light brown, dark brown...
Grete gently raised his hand, and a mage's hand flew out in all directions, picked up these clothes, and unfolded them one by one. The smallest clothes, tops, and trousers were connected together, just reaching the xiphoid process of his chest;
The second set is a little higher, reaching the third thoracic vertebra;
The third set was a little higher, almost at the same level as his shoulders;
The fourth set, a little higher than his shoulders...
The material used is neither silk nor linen, neither cotton nor wool, but it is similar to the cloaks worn by the elves, which have the magical power to keep warm in winter and cool in summer, and are self-cleaning.
Every piece of clothing has meandering patterns, which are inconspicuous, but extremely delicate. When you pick it up and shake it, you can see no seam in any piece of clothing. It seems that they are all made of materials unique to the elves and made seamless.
The effect of heavenly clothing.
There was also a set of leather armor, which looked just dusty and dark brown. It would not be picked up even if it was thrown at the bottom of the box. Gretel twisted it hard with the hands of a high mage. The armor piece did not move, and there was no trace of deformation.
arrive.
This kind of leather armor is light and tough, and can be used by first-level trumpets, all the way up to knights, and can provide sufficient protection.
In addition to clothes, there are also shoes. From children's shoes in the 20s to 44 and 45, shoes for adult men. Light casual shoes, hard leather shoes, long boots with protection on the front and knees...
"...the thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on a wanderer's body, are tightly sewed before leaving, for fear of returning late."
Gretel stood up, took a few steps and touched the clothes in front of her one by one. Deep in her heart, the poem she had read in her previous life echoed:
These clothes, these shoes, one set after another, if they had been given to little Gretel sixteen years ago, it would obviously be enough for him to wear them until he reached adulthood.
What was the mood of that mother, the mother who was forced to part with her young son, as she estimated her son's stature and made clothes for him one by one under the lamp?
There are also those books, opened one after another, they are all hand-written magic classics;
Those boxes, opened one after another, are commonly used magic materials, enough for him to learn magic from the basics until he reaches level 10;
There are also some boxes containing various kinds of seeds, most of which are found in the Old World. However, after special cultivation, the quality is exceptionally good...
Regardless of whether Gretel takes the magic route, the natural priest route, or he really has no qualifications and can only take the warrior route, these items can ensure that he grows up to be able to stand on his own.
Hey, the "self-reliance" standard for elves, judging from these items, is probably level 5?
"These things were all prepared by your mother..." Fanu was still talking and trying to point out to him:
"The magic materials and seeds in these boxes are all collected by your mother. She picked out the best batch, and these two swords are also..."
"These books are used to teach young elves in the forest. They also contain many of her own notes. Your mother made a copy and asked me to send it..."
"These clothes and shoes were all made by her. In order to get these materials in those days, she visited countless relatives and friends, and even went to the academy to measure the children one by one..."
"She refused to let us help..."
Grete let out a long sigh. He raised the hand that was not held by Cerela and pressed it gently on his heart. He felt that deep in his heart, a voice also let out a long sigh:
The little Gretel who was forced to separate from her mother before she could remember, the little Gretel who grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes, the little Gretel who lost her parents and was all alone, the little Gretel who died under the tree.
special……
Those longings, those confusions, those resentments, today... I can finally let them go.
You see, your mother loves you and is thinking of you...
From now on, you can feel at ease.
Deep in my heart, there seemed to be a echoing voice. It seemed like crying, like laughter, and seemed to contain infinite loneliness and confusion. It also seemed that it was disappearing in the warm wind of the rain forest.
Grete moved his shoulders, feeling his whole body relaxed a little, as if a heavy shackles had been lifted. When he raised his head again, his spiritual energy extended outwards lively, resonating happily with nature.
.
It’s really good. A knot in your mind has been resolved, and your mental strength has increased? Or is it more mellow and more in tune with the world?
Or maybe the remaining soul of the original owner - if there is one - has completely left, allowing his consciousness to be more closely integrated with this body?
In any case, this is a good thing. Gretel raised his face, first gave Cerela a "Don't worry, I'm fine" smile, and then turned to Fanu:
"Thank you very much... Anyway, thank you for traveling across the ocean and delivering these to me..."
"Ah...it's okay, it's okay..." Fanu's face was full of embarrassment, and he shook his hands wildly. A trace of blush actually appeared on his weak and pale face, and it was obvious that he was not very thick-skinned:
"It didn't help you anyway... Originally, I should have delivered these things to you ten years ago. Your mother also asked me to stay with you for a few more years to guide you and protect you.
, until you reach adulthood..."
"But, hahahaha... with your qualifications, my teachings and guidance are probably delaying you..."
No, not really. Gretel answered silently in his heart. The guidance and protection of an adult elf is still very important to the young Gretel——
At least, he was able to spend his teenage years safely. With such intensive training, as long as his qualifications are not too bad, he should be able to become a knight or a spellcaster by the time he reaches adulthood.
In that case, the original person can at least enter the middle class of society and live a prosperous and dignified life. As for whether he can advance to level 10 and embark on the road to Yongju Island, that is another matter.
The original mother's arrangements were not without her best efforts. However, when she met an unreliable cousin, all the arrangements were almost overwhelming.
Beside him, Elder Fahim coughed lightly. Gretel quickly turned around and saw the old man looking at him deeply, his eyes somewhat strange. Gretel thought:
Oops, isn't he aware of everything he just thought about?
[Detect Thoughts] and so on. Although he didn't notice the magic fluctuations, he is a legend... As a legend, he doesn't have some special means to cast spells silently, right?
Does he have any magic items on him that can automatically resist [detection of thoughts]?
While he was thinking wildly, Elder Fahim sighed and stepped forward to help him pack up the boxes one by one. They were sorted into categories and stacked on the table while softly saying:
"Your mother has tried her best to provide you with the best protection. Even the magic that hides your appearance can be extended as you grow, and it has not failed until now. It is estimated that she has paid a lot.
price."
This magic, unlike short-acting illusion magic, is easy to release and lasts only about ten days and a half. It can be released at any time as long as the mother is by the child's side.
This magic is based on the flesh and draws on the blood. If the body is not damaged and the blood does not disappear, this magic will grow with the owner, from 1 to 10 years old, from infant to adult.
If a traveling elf, even a girl from the Gem Flower family, wants to arrange this magic, she will probably have to spend most of her savings.
Moreover, using blood as a guide means that to outline this magic, the blood of the mother needs to be used.
Of course, there is no need to tell these details to Gretel for the time being - because at this point, Cerira's eyes have already lit up. She pulled Gretel and looked up and down:
"Yes! Gretel, your current appearance was concealed by magic! - So what did you originally look like? Can you show me?"
Grete stood frozen on the spot. It was neither good nor bad to agree. To be honest, he was quite satisfied with his current appearance:
Black hair and brown eyes, although not black eyes, are similar to the black hair and black eyes in his previous life. After traveling through so many years, he has become accustomed to his current appearance. What if the magic is unlocked and he is given a blond hair and blue eyes?
It makes you uncomfortable just thinking about it!
But Serila grabbed his hand and shook it back and forth, with a face full of hope. Gretel struggled for a while, with a face full of embarrassment, and turned to Elder Fahim:
"...Can you teach me this spell?"
"I can teach, I can teach!" the elder was determined. He stroked his beard with a smile and summoned a water mirror:
"You can unseal it and take a look. If you feel you're not used to it, you can seal it back again! Come on, let's take a look at your current appearance first and remember it well..."
Gretel quickly looked at it carefully for a while. Then he flew out of the secret eye and flew around himself. He used the meditation core to write down his current appearance, especially to do three-dimensional modeling.
After he was sure that he had memorized everything, he took a breath and turned to the elder:
"I remember! Come on!"
After a long spell of chanting, there was a flash of light, and Gretel felt a spell of power pouring down from the top of his head like a clear spring. He closed his eyes subconsciously, feeling the power wash over him from head to toe, followed by Cerela.
exclaimed:
"Wow! Grete, you look so beautiful!"
