"Lord, it seems like it's time to say goodbye." Som's voice was very weak, like a candle in the wind.
Lord replied in a gentle voice, "Yes! Your life has been wonderful enough. I think you should have no regrets."
He did not propose the idea of extending life.
He knew his dwarf companion and knew that he would make the same choice as Norn.
"Yeah! I have no regrets anymore! It's time to go meet those two guys." Som's eyes were fixed on Lord's still youthful face. "Lord, are you happy?"
During these hundreds of years, Lord had also come to find him, and he also knew the secret of the other party's immortality.
However, he did not feel any envy, but just felt a little pity for his former companion.
It's not really pitiful.
After all, he has Celia by his side, so he won't spend these long years alone.
If it were Som himself, without anyone by his side, he simply couldn't imagine the days ahead.
This is also an important reason why he never asked Lord to extend his life.
After all, my life has been wonderful enough and there is no need to go on.
Hearing Som's question, Celie moved almost imperceptibly by the window, but did not turn back.
In fact, she was also very curious. Was Lord happy during the time he was with her?
Have you caused trouble to the other party?
Companionship needs to be mutual.
I need Lord to accompany me all the way, and Lord should also need me, right?
Miss Elf was a little uncertain.
For some reason, she subconsciously hoped to hear Lord mention her.
Lord smiled and answered frankly: "Very happy. As long as there are people around, everything is happy."
Celia turned her head with relief, thinking to herself:
Sure enough, this man also needs me!
"Really? Then let's continue this joy! Lord, the journey ahead depends on you and Celie." Som's breath grew weaker, his eyes starting to blur. As if he saw an old friend, he raised his hand with all his strength, "I see you. Are you here to pick me up?"
His voice eventually faded into the air, and his raised hand lost its last bit of strength and fell down helplessly.
Lord silently placed the hand back on his chest and tidied up his old friend's appearance.
Once again, he sent his friend away.
Celia finally stood up from the window and walked over to Som.
She stretched out her white fingers, and the magic of comfort and blessing emerged from her fingertips, bidding farewell to the dwarf sleeping in front of her.
"Goodbye, Thom." Her voice was soft. "I'll remember you."
Thorm's funeral was as grand as Norn's. After all, both of them were kings, and they must have a decent funeral after their death.
Lord did not attend the funeral. He just took a quick look from a high place and then left.
But before leaving, he took away the armor that the other party used in the past, as well as the long sword that Norn used in the past. Eric left behind his wand and erected three tombstones for several people.
This is to remember my former companions.
It’s a pity that they didn’t leave behind any statues or the like, and only the legend of killing gods was passed down by everyone.
And the legend will one day gradually disappear due to the passage of time, and the heroic stories will be buried in the long river of time.
Even Lord couldn't change that.
After seeing off their last companion, time seemed to become thicker and longer for Lord and Celie.
Lord would still reincarnate every once in a while, and while waiting, Celie would study various magics and occasionally take a stroll in the forest to pass the time.
Until one day like any other.
There was a flurry of hurried footsteps in the forest, and an elf girl appeared in front of the two.
Her green eyes were filled with curiosity and a hint of fear, and her slender ears trembled slightly because of nervousness.
Celie was a little confused by the elven girl who suddenly appeared in front of her.
I had clearly set up a lot of warning magic on the periphery, so why was this girl able to bypass the magic quietly and appear in front of me?
Could it be that she used some special concealment magic?
But judging from his appearance, he is too young, probably not even a magic apprentice. He may be born with some special abilities.
Even Lord was attracted and leaned out of the window, looking at the uninvited guest with interest.
The elf girl also saw Celia and was immediately attracted by this ancient and powerful elf who was said to live deep in the forest.
After all, over the past few hundred years, Celie had cleared out all the monsters in this forest, and its existence had also been known to the elven village on the edge of the forest.
At first they also sent people to contact Celiai, but they were all driven away.
This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that someone had suddenly appeared before her.
The elf girl felt a little helpless under Celia's calm gaze. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing where to put her hands.
Lord was somewhat curious about Celie's next move.
Chapter 156: Celia's First Disciple
But to his surprise, Celie did not ask the other party to leave in a cold tone as expected.
She closed the book, stood up, walked to the steps, and looked down at the elf girl: "Lost?"
The elf girl nodded vigorously and whispered, "I was chasing a beautiful butterfly, and then..."
"Your sense of crisis is too poor. Be careful or you might die if you encounter a wild beast." Celie commented bluntly, but her gaze lingered on the elf for a moment, as if she was evaluating something.
She sensed the presence of magic from the young elf in front of her, and the other party seemed to be born to be a good seedling for learning magic.
But Celie said nothing. She simply raised her hand, a small, gentle glow condensed from her fingertips, and gently pointed in a certain direction of the forest: "Your tribe is over there. Follow the light and you will be back."
The elf girl looked at the light that was guiding her, then raised her head in surprise at Celie, a trace of gratitude and admiration surfacing in her large eyes: "Thank... Thank you!"
She bowed, then ran carefully in the direction of the light. After running a few steps, she couldn't help but look back.
Lord leaned against the window, watching the other person run away. Then he looked at Celie, who had returned to her seat and picked up her book, and said with a smile, "I thought you would just chase her away, but I didn't expect you to be so considerate and give her directions."
Celie didn't even raise her head, concentrating on the book in her hands, her tone still calm: "It's just a matter of convenience."
Lord chuckled and remained noncommittal.
After all, even if Celia didn't do this, he would still guide the elf back.
However, a few days later, the elf girl appeared again.
This time she was not lost, but came prepared.
She timidly placed a small basket of berries on the steps of the cottage. When Lord discovered her, she ran away quickly with her head down.
Then came the third time, the fourth time...
Sometimes she would bring some beautiful stones, and sometimes she would just stand at a distance and watch Celia practice her new magic.
His eyes were filled with pure curiosity and yearning for magic.
This look reminded Lord of the girl named Lisa in the first human village they had taught.
Finally, one morning, when the elf girl mustered up the courage again, she stood in front of the cottage and looked at Celie eagerly.
Celia finally took action.
She stood up, walked under the eaves, and looked at the small figure in front of her.
"You," Celia's voice was still cold, "what's your name?"
The elf girl looked up in surprise: "Ella! My name is Ella!"
"Ella," Celie repeated, then said calmly, "Do you want to learn magic?"
"I want you to accept me as your disciple!" The elf girl bent down and asked without hesitation.
"Okay!" Celie raised the corner of her mouth. "I will teach you magic, and you will be my first official disciple."
When Ella successfully condensed magic power in her hands for the first time under Celia's guidance, she almost jumped for joy.
Even Celia herself had a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes. Lord couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly interested in taking in a disciple?"
Celia was demonstrating to Ella how to better control the flow of magic power in her body. Upon hearing this, her hands paused.
He glanced sideways at Lorde and said with a matter-of-fact indifference, "It's interesting, isn't it? Watching her clumsy learning, from being ignorant to finally growing into a powerful magician, this process should be very interesting."
When adventuring with Lord before, Celie also taught some magic to humans, but she only touched upon it briefly and the magical knowledge she taught was very limited.
It was completely different from Ella, who was formally accepted as his disciple.
She withdrew her gaze and continued to focus on the movements of her hands, as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was saying to Lord: "And you have to find something to do. It will be very difficult to be alone during the long wait."
Each time Lord reincarnates it seems to be getting longer and longer.
It started out as fifty years, then fifty-five years, and the last time I made myself wait for sixty years.
According to the other party, they are constantly improving this magic, so it takes longer and longer.
Celie didn't understand this.
If I'm constantly perfecting this magic, shouldn't the time it takes be getting shorter and shorter? Why is it getting longer and longer?
But even if I asked, the man did not give a reasonable explanation.
Celia had no choice but to stop paying attention to this matter.
Anyway, for her, as long as she can wait for this man to return, fifty years or a hundred years will not make much difference.
While waiting, do something interesting to pass the time.
Lord looked at Celie who was concentrating on teaching Ella, and looked at her long golden hair that emitted a soft halo in the sun. The elf lady who was once arrogant and almost indifferent to others seemed to be quietly changing.
A warm feeling welled up in his heart and he smiled: "Yeah, it's very interesting."
"Do you want to join us? This kid is good material."
