Demon King's Mentor

It was March, and there was a lively scene everywhere. The horses pulling the cart stepped across the light green grassland, crossed the woodland and tidal flats, and drove into the dense forest, until the surrounding trees blocked the view, When a crossed dead tree blocked the driving road, Eastero got off the carriage, put his hand on the mossy tree trunk, and read an elven language.Then, the color of the dead tree begins to dim until it disappears.

Then they encountered several similar obstacles, and when the surrounding trees gradually thinned out and a lake appeared brightly in front of them, Eastero said happily: "We're here!"

Eric looked out of the window, and saw a gray-green castle appearing in the field of vision surrounded by several huge oak trees. The walls of the castle were covered with vines, which blended well with the surrounding scenery. as one.When they bypassed the lake and came to the stone steps of the castle, Eric saw a lady in a light brown linen dress.

"Dear child!" The lady's joy was beyond words when she saw Eastero. She opened her arms and hugged the young prince tightly.

"Grandma." Estero's tone became sweet and greasy in front of her, "I miss you so much." He said to his grandma, "This is my teacher, Eric Ingeirvin Knight .”

"Sir." Aktina Eluhir nodded to Eric, "East often mentions you in his letters, thank you for taking care of my grandson on weekdays."

"Ma'am." Eric saluted her.Looking at her youthful, almost girlish face still made him feel a little surprised. Aktina has the same blonde hair as Junia and Estero, but the color is lighter.She has fair skin that is almost milk-colored, and a pair of green eyes are like the purest emeralds. Eric also noticed her pointed ears, which are the symbol of elves.

When they walked into the castle, Eric realized that it was so quiet that he could almost hear the birdsong outside. Eastero looked at him: "Grandma doesn't have many servants here, she prefers to do it herself."

Surrounded by plants, the castle looked more like a cave than a building. Eric looked at the huge lizard lazily basking in the sun on the window sill, and finally understood the origin of Eastero's preference.

"That's Gregory," Eastero said to him. "He's been here since I was little. He used to be lively, but he's probably old now."

Aktina made tea for them, and although her eyes rolled over Eric curiously, she didn't ask him any personal questions, just asking him how much sugar he would like to add.

"Let me see how far your spells are now, Esther?" Aktina looked at her grandson, "You look much taller than when you left, and you look healthier than before."

"Why are you trying to test me so soon?" Eastero ate the berry biscuit, "I'm quite tired."

"Then wait until the day you like." Aktina said, "Eat more."

"Hmm." Estero stuffed his mouth full of biscuits and took a sip of tea.

Estero finished his tea and said to Aktina, "Grandma, I want to go for a walk in the woods with my teacher later."

"I also want to ask you if you would like Nafin to be your guest," Aktina handed him the handkerchief, "then let him wait."

"Is the guiding bird's spell still the same?" Eastero wiped his mouth.

"It hasn't changed." Aktina said with a smile.

Eric looked at them and felt that Aktina was too doting on the child, but he didn't say anything. He felt that someone who doted on Estero unconditionally and followed him everywhere was a big deal to him. a happy thing.

They left the castle and walked into the woods. Eastero chanted a spell, and after a while, a bird with a brown body and only a white tail chirped twice and circled above them.

Eastero held out his hand and the bird landed on his arm, and he turned his arm towards Eric beside him, the bird the size of a cuckoo looking around with yellow eyes.Estero said, "Hello, little one, are you his son or grandson? Say hello to my teacher."

"Chirp chirp." The bird called Eric twice softly.

Eric stretched out his hand and stroked his feathers, before Estero raised his hand and let it fly away.

"With it we won't get lost," Estero said. "Grandma has cast a lot of spells here, and anyone who breaks in will get lost."

"You're like a real elf here." Eric looked at him.

"I hope I am," Estero smiled, "like grandma, living a life of indifference..." He looked into the distance, "I only meet one person in my life and fall in love with him."

"I didn't see your grandfather?" Eric pushed aside the branches in front of him and followed behind Estero.

"He died a long time ago," Estero's tone became sad, "before I was born. Grandma lived with him in the capital at the beginning. After he died, she almost wanted to follow him to die, but when my mother After she became pregnant with me, she brought my mother here."

"A sad story," Eric said.

"Well, teacher, don't mention this in front of my grandma, don't mention it." Estero said.

"Remember what grandma said about Nafin?" Eastero said, "Nafun is the lord of the elves in this forest. He pursued my grandma until she got married. When grandpa died, grandma fainted for several weeks. It was Nafin who brought her sanity back and sealed her feelings for grandpa. Now grandma only thinks that she married grandpa because of the family business."

"My mother told me." Estero sighed, "She has always envied grandma." Then, he added: "I am also envious."

Eric looked at his side face, and for some reason felt that there was some sadness in his eyes, and he didn't understand what that meant, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, there was a familiar bird song in the distance. Eric saw another guide bird flying over, stopped beside their guide bird, and chatted chirpingly.

"I heard that you are back," a male voice came from a distance, "Why don't you come to our place as a guest?"

Estero frowned and said to Eric, "The troublesome guy is here."
