Chapter 258 This Topic Is a Bit Wrong
The dangerous monsters in the wild mountains and the magical energy radiation in the wasteland of Gondor are not the biggest problems for an elf ranger far from home, but the gradual loss of hair is - Thorderling Frostleaf.
Well, Thordling didn't say this, but Gawain believed it must be the most sincere words from the heart of this high-level elf ranger.
He knew Soldrin—or Gawain Cecil knew Soldrin, on the way to the great pioneering seven hundred years ago, when the elf ranger was a young man who had just left his homeland for a few years and was in the process of A nameless person who traveled in the northern part of the continent. Although he had the strength of a high-level ranger, he didn't have a great-sounding title like "Soldrin the Blonde", and he was unfortunately in the Gondor Empire at that time. In the territory, after the surge of the magic tide, the elf ranger was trapped in the wasteland of the human empire and cut off contact with the homeland.
The solitary elven ranger was rescued by the human northern pioneers in the chaos, and Gawain Cecil took him under his wing.
After that, the two fought side by side for many years, until the last few years before Gawain Cecil was killed, and Soldering broke away from the human army and began to travel in the northern part of the continent as a free mercenary.
Almost no one knows why Solderin left the Silver Empire alone, and no one knows what the purpose of this high-level ranger's journey on the mainland is, and today, seven hundred years later, no one knows this powerful. Why the free mercenary fighters never use their strength to more than 70% in battle, only Gawain knows this secret - because Solderling is wearing a wig...
This unfortunate child ran out just to find folk remedies to cure his alopecia...
To be honest, when these related memories came to his mind, Gawain almost tensed up all the muscles on his face and didn't laugh on the spot - if he wanted to laugh, his image would be finished first, and then he would not laugh on the spot. I want to rebuild my friendship with Solderin - the boat of friendship will not only capsize, but will even hit the two people in the face after turning around for more than 20 laps, and then they will start shopping on the spot...
So he tried his best to keep his attitude calm, and reminisced about Gawain Cecil's attitude towards Soldering in his recollection: "Do you remember how I found out about your secret? ?"
"I didn't know that one of the top commanders of the human coalition army even scratched his hair when he was fighting with people," Soldering said, giving Gawain a rather displeased look when he mentioned that there was still a little bit of lingering lingering in it for seven hundred years. "Fortunately, no one was watching at the time, otherwise I would have splattered five steps with you..."
Gao Wen spread his hands: "You can't beat me again."
"I couldn't beat it back then, but what about now?" Solderling looked at Gawain up and down, "I feel it, your strength has declined a lot."
"You can't beat it now," Gao Wen responded calmly with the guiding ideology of being decent at first, regardless of whether his heart was empty or not, "You might have had a chance when I first woke up, but now I've recovered. "
Solderin was quiet, and stared at Gawain without blinking. He stared at Gawain for a long time, until the latter suspected that there was a problem with the elf's orientation, and he broke the silence: "I still can't believe it. , you actually came back to life... I learned the news when I was in Typhon, but at first I thought it was a farce created by the Ansu royal family for some purpose, and I was still cursing the illegitimate king in my heart I finally lost my face and started to use my country's founding heroes as political tools... I didn't expect you to be real."
After a pause, he shook his head and continued: "I wanted to come directly to confirm the situation from the beginning, but I really couldn't find a chance."
Gao Wen glanced at him: "So you led the team to infiltrate this time, just to take this opportunity to confirm my authenticity?"
"This is part of the purpose," Solderin replied calmly, "I received an order, and the people on Typhon's side did not know that I had a relationship with you seven hundred years ago.
They appointed me to be the commander of the infiltration operation in the direction of the Dark Mountains, so here I am - I'm going to see if 'Gawain Cecil' is real, and if not, I'll kill the impostor myself... To be honest, I am almost 90% sure that you are fake. "
Gawain was stunned: "Why are you so sure?"
"I was there when you were buried," Soldering looked into Gawain's eyes, "I heard the news that you were killed on the southern front when I was traveling in the Holy Spirit Plain, and then I went directly to your territory. , just in time for the last moment before your burial. Because of your experience of fighting side by side with me, your wife allowed me to observe your... corpse, I can confirm that you were really dead at that time, and your soul also left that body Body - I can be sure that my perception is not wrong, the elves have far more perception of life than you humans."
The expression on Gawain's face changed slightly, but there was a huge wave in his heart - he suddenly realized how much the appearance of this elf "old friend" meant to him, and he realized that this was a real witness to Gawain. Cecil was born, and even witnessed the death of the latter. His words are more reliable than any later history books, and more accurate than any third-party narration!
Although he inherited most of Gawain Cecil's memory, he always believed that the memory he inherited had some gaps and distortions, so would this elf make up for the gaps in this part?
But in order to avoid the suspicious behavior of Soldrin from being too unusual, Gawain did not immediately reveal the problem with his memory, but temporarily suppressed the waves in his heart, and followed Soldrin's words and asked something else, Equally concerning question: "How was my condition? I mean when I was in the coffin."
It is obviously a strange experience to discuss the body of a deceased party face-to-face. Even Soldrin, who has been on the mainland for seven hundred years, couldn't help shaking his mouth, but he still answered seriously: " You died of exhaustion. Your guards tried their best to get your body back, so you have almost no trauma. The cause of death is the exhaustion of all your organs. Because I was not on the battlefield at the last moment, I will also explain the specific process of your death. It's not clear."
At the end, the expression on Soldrin's face was a little sad and ashamed, and it was obvious that he had always harbored a grudge against Gawain Cecil in his final moments, and this vague guilt He has probably been with him for seven centuries—as a long-lived elf, dealing with short-lived humans will inevitably be entangled in this kind of mood, Gawain can only sigh in his heart when he sees this, with a relieved smile on his face: "Okay. Now, when everyone is dead, don't worry about it so much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "If everyone is alive, then there is no need to worry about it."
Soldering's face twitched, while Gawain forced the conversation to continue: "What about the rest of the funeral?"
"Your funeral went well - it was so solemn and unforgettable. King Charles himself laid the first and last nails, and all the dukes and marquis of the kingdom were present. At the end of the funeral, the elements The powers of the four elements briefly manifested, and the incarnations of the four elemental powers lingered briefly outside your tomb, which scholars consider to be the official end of your contract with the elements."
Gawain finally grasped a key point: "You said that the incarnation of the four elements appeared at that time?"
"Yes, at least I saw the wind element appear briefly, and a wall outside the cemetery was shrouded in gas clouds at the time," Solderin nodded, "It's just that the incarnations of the elements didn't communicate with humans, they just It manifested for a while, about less than a minute."
Gawain Cecil once concluded a contract with the Four Elements. This is not only a legend that has been passed down in the Ansu Kingdom for 700 years, but also a legend that bards from all over the continent have always talked about. Not totally made up.
Gawain Cecil did communicate with the elements. He was able to grow into a legendary powerhouse in just thirty-five years of his life and was inextricably linked to the power of the elements, but the contract was not what most people imagined. It's so simple and clear, in fact, even Gawain himself couldn't understand what Gawain Cecil had agreed with the elements back then.
The incarnation of the power of the elements has a chaotic and elusive "mind", and the human spiritual structure can hardly communicate with it. Even those shamans who claim to be able to communicate with the elements dare not say that they can understand the elements. language. For most mortals who study the way of the elements, the so-called "communication with the elements" is nothing more than a vague guess about the flow tendency of the elemental power, and if anyone says that they have established a rational relationship with "an incarnation of the element" , There is a logical connection, then he is either a liar, or a lunatic, or just a poor bastard who was deceived by the "elemental monarch".
Those "elemental creatures" living in various planes and the real "elemental power" are not the same thing at all. The former is essentially just a tangible and qualitative entity formed by a single element with a very extreme magical tendency. It is just a living thing, and the latter is actually more similar to a certain manifestation of the essence of the world.
In the legend, Gawain Cecil made a contract with the four elements, and the object of the contract seems to be the essence of those elements, not a powerful elemental creature - this is a fact that shocked Gawain the most and is also the most unbelievable. .
But just like those memories of "Eternal Dark Seas" and "Secret Voyage", there is a blank in the memory he inherited about how Gawain Cecil entered into a contract with the four elements.
Now even if he wants to ask the Elemental Wills to find out the truth, he doesn't know where to start.
Gawain revolved all kinds of knowledge related to the nature of elements and elemental creatures in his mind. After thinking about it, he did not forget to remind himself: when analyzing elemental creatures, he should pick out the gang of deep-sea harmony gods as soon as possible, although Tyre said Krakens are also elemental creatures, but he always felt that he had to pick out the salted fish spirits and discuss them separately under any circumstances. They are so weird that they are really considered as research samples.
"What did you think of?" Seeing that Gao Wen had not spoken for a long time, and the expression on his face was gloomy, he couldn't help but ask.
"How much do you know about the way of the elements?" Gawain asked casually.
Soldering thought for a while: "I am proficient in the four spellings of 'The Way of the Elements' in common human language and Elvish language, and I also know who wrote the highest book on the four elements, "The Theory of Elements"..."
"...Then I have nothing to say," Gawain's eyes trembled slightly. "Besides, is there anything else going on at my funeral?"
Soldering recalled seriously, and finally shook his head: "No, you were quite peaceful when you lay there."
"...Or let's change the subject."
"I think so too."
