Abducted a pirate hunter

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Xia Qi asked a question: "How old do you think Little Hill looks?"

"About fifteen or six, right?" Jesus folded his arms and tilted his head in thought.

"She does look a little small, but how do I remember she looked like that when we first met?" Lloyd scratched his head.

Someone heard Lloyd's words and shouted: "Wait a minute, wasn't it already a few years ago when we first met her?"

"It's been at least two years. She must be eighteen years old, right?" Beckman remembered it clearly. He raised his eyes and answered.

Xia Qi nodded, spread her hands and said, "I thought she was at least fifteen years old, but she said she was already eighteen years old and would be nineteen in a while."

Sylphis's birthday was in the autumn, and they remembered this.

"This..." De Ge was stunned for a moment: "She grows up so slowly?"

"It's not a matter of growing slowly. She hasn't grown at all." Xia Qi sighed helplessly. Sylphis took this for granted and would not take the initiative to say it. In just over two years, It wasn't enough for these careless guys to realize that something was wrong with her.

She was also curious about this matter in the past few days, and Sylphis told her that the witch stopped growing every year at the age of fifteen. From then on, her physical age would only increase by one year every eight years, until she finally reached adulthood. Mature appearance at the age of twenty-five.

But she didn't realize at the time that Sylphis would live forever with this twenty-five-year-old appearance.

"Wait..." Jesus Bu was the first to realize something was wrong. He showed an exaggerated expression of shock and said coldly: "Shanks is already very rough. If Hill still looks like this, then Can the two of them still watch while standing together?!"

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into laughter again. A picture emerged in everyone's minds of Shanks, who looked terrible in his middle age, and the still beautiful little girl standing together, spraying water and laughing. She held her face in pain and continued to laugh.

Xia Qi held her forehead. They seemed to have only heard the word immortality, but not what she meant by immortality.

Although Sylphis did not directly tell her that she could continue to live regardless of the passage of time, she said that the life of a witch is different from that of humans. Only she can answer how far the difference is.

Like the giants, who can live for hundreds of years, or can they live forever as long as they are not fatally injured?

Xia Qi didn't think that 'immortal' meant that he wouldn't die even if he was injured. Otherwise, Sylphis wouldn't have hid in the bar in the first place for fear of being discovered.

"I suddenly feel that it's not a bad thing for Shanks to think of Hill as his sister." Lloyd laughed until he almost breathed his last. He got up and drank some water. His imagination of a few years later came to mind again, and he complained with disgust on his face.

Xia Qi didn't think it was a big deal. She smiled and said, "Emotional matters are the business of those two people. As long as they are happy, that's enough. I don't object to whoever Xiao Xie wants to be with, but..."

Shanks will never survive her, and his existence may only be a small part of Sylphis's long years. If the relationship between the two is really what they thought, and it goes smoothly to the end, then she will Is there any way to accept Shanks leaving?

She is different from humans. She has to live alone for hundreds of years or even longer. In this case, wouldn't it be cruel for her to fall in love with humans?

Xia Qi's words finally pointed out the misunderstanding of Hong Tuan, and everyone frowned. They had never considered falling in love with an inhuman being, nor had they thought about which woman they, as pirates, could end up with. , because of constant adventures, never staying in one place for too long, all love relationships are just chance encounters and casual marriages.

But the situation is different now. Sylphis is their companion. If there is no accident, he is the companion who is destined to adventure together until the end. If Shanks really wants to have a relationship with her, the chance of reaching the end is very high.

By then, will Sylphis, who has been with Shanks hand in hand for decades and never left, really be able to easily let go of Shanks who is old and about to die?

Or will you simply choose to leave without investing too much emotion?

If the companions don't know what Sylphis thinks about Shanks now, how can they imagine the future?

Until Sylvester and Shanks returned to the bar, no one could figure out the answer to the question.

Someone couldn't hold it any longer and asked directly: "Hill, how long can you live?"

"Pfft!" The few people who were drinking were so frightened by this guy who spoke so freely that they spewed out their words, but they couldn't hold back their curiosity and pricked up their ears.

"Huh? Why do you ask this suddenly?" Sylvester looked back at him and said casually: "As long as I don't get killed, I can keep living until I don't want to live anymore."

As long as you die after one hundred years of age, new witches will not be born like those who die during the training period. After all, the number of new witches is fixed. When her training is completed, new witches will be born. They will not be born at the same time in a period of time. There are two witches who have not yet completed their training.

Even if the life of a witch is eternal, most witches will not live beyond a thousand years old, and the number of thousand-year-old witches is even rarer. Sylphis asked her teacher, but her teacher was only over 300 years old. , she went through the training period strongly all the way, and she couldn't explain why at all.

"However, the ten thousand year witch seems to be unable to maintain her youthful appearance, and her magic power will be greatly reduced, so most witches will choose to give up immortality before they are ten thousand years old." The flame witch held the red wine glass and drank gracefully, with no more than three elegance. Then he started laughing wildly and said, "If I really turn into that old and ugly look with my magic power weakened, then I don't want to live anymore. Anyway, living for ten thousand years is almost enough."

This is probably one of the reasons why witches with eternal life are not everywhere. They do not really never die.

Witches are free and ruthless. Even when it comes to their own lives, they don't feel pity after having enough fun. Their imperfect selves make them unable to think of continuing to linger.

Therefore, the world is so big, even if the three thousand worlds are full of witches' footsteps, there are still many people who have never seen a witch with eternal life.

Sylphis's answer caused everyone to fall into silence again.

"I'm a little curious. If you live alone for so long, won't you feel lonely?" Rayleigh, who had never participated in the topic, turned his head to look at Sylphis, his eyes glaring, not knowing what answer he wanted to get from her.

Sylphis, who was planning to answer immediately, saw his gaze and pondered for a moment before answering honestly: "I don't know."

Rayleigh blinked slowly, and Sylphis raised his head and said seriously: "After all, I have only lived for more than ten years, and I have not even had a coming-of-age ceremony. The world is still an existence full of infinite fun for me. I You won’t be bored for a while.”

Perhaps as Rayleigh said, most witches would give up immortality thousands of years ago because they feel lonely, but there are still witches who live to the end. Sylphis can't tell Rayleigh for sure which side she will be.

"As for the question of whether I am alone or not, at least I didn't feel it before I met the red-haired pirates, but it is obviously more interesting to stay with them." Sylphis smiled and replied: "If I leave them I think I would be very sorry.”

This is the truth. Even though I got on the boat half-heartedly at first and always thought they were too noisy, if I left them and went back to my previous trip alone, I would still feel it was too quiet.

But if you really want to talk about being lonely... to be honest, it's not.

Sylvester thought with little emotion, but it seemed inappropriate to say it in this situation. After several years of getting along, she had become aware of the changes in human emotions, so she shouldn't make everyone unhappy by saying it.

She had only offended Shanks a few days ago, so she knew they didn't like to hear such words, so it would be better to say less about them in the future.

This kind of thinking is probably where she has changed. In the past, she didn't care whether what she said would offend others.

…Although the changes don’t seem right.

Not knowing the heartless inner thoughts of Sylphis, the red-haired people were moved to tears, and everyone felt relieved that their daughter had finally grown up. Sure enough, she only disliked them in words, but she still liked them in her heart!

Shanks laughed when he saw everyone's noses and tears, but when he glanced at Sylphis, he showed something strange. He didn't think he had had a quarrel with him just a few days ago because of a similar situation. Sylphis can transform so quickly.

Although Sylphis bowed his head to him first, he didn't really realize what his problem was. He could still see this, but he just walked past the incident along the steps, because he always felt that At that time, if the stalemate continued, it would only force her to leave.

He believed her words about them being fun to be with, because there was a twinkle in her eye, but she avoided Rayleigh's question. Even if she was sorry to leave them, how long could that regret last?

I'm afraid they will all be forgotten in a few years, right?

For witches with infinite lifespan, their existence is really too insignificant.

"When is your coming-of-age ceremony?" Lloyd said excitedly, as if he had found a new excuse to hold a party, "We can organize it for you!"

"No, no need." Silphis refused calmly: "You may not live until then."

"..." Lloyd looked shocked. Good guy, is she still underage even if his love for him dies?

"The witch's coming-of-age ceremony is when her training is completed, right?" Xia Qi said, "Does she become an adult only when she is a hundred years old?"

Sylphis confirmed her guess.
