Chapter 86 The Branch of Elminthul

After listening to Victor's explanation, Joan couldn't help but recall the three fairy tales told by her grandfather when she was a child.

The first story tells the story of a little boy named Peter, whose sailboat was caught in a storm and drifted to an island where goblins lived. Peter Pan lived on Fairy Island for many years, and when he returned to his hometown, he found that his former companions had grown up, but he still maintained his youthful appearance...

The second story follows a little girl named Alice who passes through a magical mirror into a strange world where talking rabbits and Puss in Boots live. Alice returned home after experiencing many adventures, only to find that it was just a dream...

The last story is about a girl named Dorothy, whose house was swept away by a typhoon, and she was blown along with her puppy to a mysterious world where there are powerful witches who are "enlightened". "The lion who endows wisdom but also loses courage, and the scarecrow and iron golem activated by the "construct enlightenment technique"...

Joan used to think that the stories told by his grandfather were just fairy tales to coax children. Now that he heard Victor's narration, and considering that his grandfather was a well-traveled and well-informed adventurer when he was young, these fairy tales may not all be fabricated. , Peter Pan's Fairy Island, Alice's Wonderland, and the foreign countries Dorothy traveled to may refer to "Fairy Wilderness" or other similar mysterious planes.

When Joan left the "Fountain of Wisdom", Mimir warned him not to reveal to anyone about the Fountain of Wisdom, the mythical archmage, and Mimir himself, and specially blessed Joan with a protective spell to help him hide the power of mythology . If someone peeps at Joan with "advanced internal vision", at most he can see his mage profession level, but he can't realize that he also has the "mythical archmage" level in addition to the normal mage profession.

Although Joan has regarded the Kandy family as his closest people, but limited to the oath he swore to Mimir, he had to keep a secret from the Kandy family. Fortunately, Joan has always been a taciturn character. In addition, "Fairy Wilderness" has a plane law that makes outsiders lose part of their memory when they leave. Joann can't describe all the details of his adventure in "Fairy Wilderness". The Tee family thought it was understandable, so they stopped asking.

Early the next morning, Joan got up to prepare spells according to the old habit. After getting out of bed to wash, I heard a knock on the door.

Joan wiped her face hastily, and opened the door to see that Kandy was standing outside the door with her hands behind her back, her eye circles were a little dark, obviously she didn't get a good rest last night.

"I stayed up late last night and sewed something. You can try it on to see if it fits." Conti handed the thing hidden behind her to Joan. It turned out to be a black eyepatch.

Joan took the blindfold and touched it. The silk feels like the smooth and cool skin of a girl. He picked up the blindfold and looked over and over again, unable to tell whether it was gratitude or embarrassment. He had only seen this thing in storybooks before, and it seemed like a must-have accessory for a vicious pirate leader. He never imagined that one day he would wear a blindfold himself.

"Don't you like it?" Conti's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Qiao An shook her head quickly, and immediately put on the blindfold in order not to disappoint her.

Conti was amused by his frantic look, and stepped forward to help him adjust the position of the blindfold, and tried the elasticity of the tendon straps, and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that it was tight enough.

"Don't tell me, it looks quite majestic!"

Qiao An took the small bronze mirror she handed over and looked at it, and a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar was reflected in the mirror. The black eyepatch worn obliquely on his face covered his blind right eye, making the boy's fair and handsome face less childish and adding a touch of cruelty.

"The blindfold is just a temporary decoration. When I learn the 'Regeneration Technique' in the future, I will cast a spell to help you heal your blind right eye." Conti tried to comfort Joan, but she couldn't help her nose sore as soon as the words came out.

Of course Kandy knew that the "Regeneration" that could repair damaged organs was a 9th-level natural magic, and most druids in the world would never live to be exposed to the 9th-level magic. She didn't even dare to imagine when she would be able to fulfill the promise she made to Joan. Even if I can really learn the "regeneration technique" in my lifetime, it will be decades later. By then, she and Joan will probably be old men with gray hair and wrinkled faces. Their lives are about to come to an end. It doesn't matter if it can be recovered.

"Thank you, Kandy..." Joan hesitated, and finally said, "I've lived in Powhatan Village for so long...it's time to go home."

The tears in Kanti's eyes finally couldn't hold back, but he managed to maintain a smile, and said to him softly: "Yes, if you don't rush home, you will be late to report to Leiden College. When do you plan to leave?"

"If possible, I would like to leave today." Joan lowered his head, feeling as if he owed Kandy something.

"How much is the tuition fee?"

"It's enough! The money from selling the tree, plus the stipend...it's enough."

In fact, it is only enough for one year's tuition. As for what to do next year, Qiao An doesn't want to worry about it for the time being. With this year's buffer time, he can always try to make up for the next school year's tuition.

"Before going on the road, remember to say goodbye to my parents. Also, I'm going to Laobai's place too. He has something to say to you."

Joan is an orphan with no brothers and sisters, and he has long been used to living alone, but Kandy's soft voice made him feel a strange warmth. If he had a real sister, he would probably be like Kandy.

Thinking of this, Joan picked up the bag that had already been packed, and silently followed Kandy out the door. Neither of them spoke on the road, they walked through the ash forest with heavy thoughts, and came to Ilminsur who was standing quietly in the open space.

"Old Bai, I brought Joan." Conti looked up at the canopy of the tree and called out, then turned and left the glade so that Joan could communicate with Lao Bai alone.

An old face appeared on the tree trunk, showing a kind smile to the young mage.

"Huhu...Little guy, congratulations on passing the test and getting the reward you deserve."

"Thank you, Lao Bai, I'm going home, do you have anything to say to me?" Joan asked straight to the point.

"Huhu... Are we leaving now? I really don't want to part with it." The ancient tree sighed, and slowly dropped a branch. With a click, the branch broke by itself, and a leafy twig about a foot long fell to Qiao An's feet.

Joan picked up the branch, and immediately found that this emerald green branch contained abundant natural power.
