Shura of the Beastman

"Mimir, come here, the teacher has something to discuss with you." Ivan looked at the student who was happily studying the bracelet Emma gave him, and called out softly.

Mi Mier obediently walked to him and sat down, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

"Your physique has a high affinity for light elements. After a magician reaches the fifth level, his practice will enter a new level, so the transition from the fourth level to the fifth level is very important. The city of light belongs to the Haiwei Gema family. Where our family is located, their family has produced many outstanding light magicians, and Emma's ancestor can be called the founder of light magic. The teacher does not want you to waste your talent, so I want to introduce Emma's ancestor here. Find a light magician for you to teach you more advanced light magic. I want to ask your opinion." Ivan has never liked to beat around the bush, so he pondered for a while and explained his meaning in simple words.

Mimir bowed her head in silence, suddenly threw herself into Ivan's arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Teacher, don't you want me?"

You said you wouldn't want me!

A voice from deep in my memory suddenly sounded, Ivan raised his hand and touched his head in his arms, his voice was hoarse: "I didn't want you."

Just knowing that there is a better choice for you, so there is no way to turn a blind eye, even if you don't want to give up, you still have to let go.

Ivan is such a rational and sober person who does not want to let his emotions influence him too much.

"It's just that the teacher knows that there is a road ahead that is good for you, but he wants to block you. The teacher can't do it." His voice was soft, with a touch of warmth, "You are the first student I accept. , probably will be the only one, I naturally hope that you will be able to emerge from the blue, if you stay by my side all the time, this kind of hope is difficult to realize. Mi Mier, the teacher is not driving you away, but just giving you a choice, if you I really don't want to, I won't force you."

"Teacher, thank you." He has always known that the teacher is kind to him. Since the death of his father, the teacher has been his only support. He suddenly felt flustered when he heard that he was going to be separated, but the teacher explained it slowly and let him Knowing his intentions, naturally I couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, "But I don't want to leave you, Teacher."

"Silly boy, you will be an adult in one year, and your coming-of-age ceremony will naturally be presided over by the teacher. We are only temporarily separated. Besides, you will form a partner with someone else one day, and you will still have to leave the teacher at that time? "

"It's still a long way off! If the teacher doesn't think I'm troublesome, I'm still willing to stay by the teacher's side forever!" Mi Mier got up from his arms, vowing authentically.

Ivan chuckled and patted his forehead, "I'm afraid that if you are willing, some people will not."

"What do you mean?" Mimir looked at him blankly.

"Jin Enga, doesn't he like you?"

Immediately, Mi Mier blushed and waved his hands desperately, "No, no, I have nothing with him! Why does the teacher think of you like that!" That guy always teases him, is this also called liking?

"That means you don't like him anymore? Then the teacher should tell him clearly and let him stop harassing you." Ivan said intentionally.

Mi Mier was taken aback, and seemed to feel uncomfortable when he thought that the guy wasn't around. Could it be that he really liked him? "Teacher, what is liking?"

"There is no answer to this question, because everyone has different definitions." Ivan shook his head.

"Then... Teacher, do you have someone you like?" In fact, he has always wanted to ask this question, because they have been with the teacher for so many years, they have gone to many places, and there are countless orcs who have shown their kindness to the teacher, but the teacher has always flattered them. Refuse, and will not stay in one place for more than a month, and always go to remote places in the mountains and old forests. Logically speaking, there should be no such thing, but occasionally, he will see very complicated expressions on the teacher's face , Later he realized that that expression represented longing.

"No." Ivan said softly, "But I have a lover."

Mi Mier was taken aback, "Is there any difference between love and liking?"

"You can like many people, but you will only form a partner with the one you love." Once the partner ceremony in the beastman world is formed, unless one party dies, it cannot be dissolved for life, so marriage in this world is really regarded as a sacred couple. Character.

Mi Mier seemed to understand, looked at Ivan, and asked hesitantly: "Then teacher, where is your lover?" Why is he not around, and he was just full when he met the teacher, so young, the teacher's lover Does it really exist?Could it be that he lied to him?

"Here." Ivan raised his finger and pointed to the position of his heart, "He has always been here and never left."

Many years later, Mi Mier still remembers the expression on the teacher's face at that time, it was so gentle, but it made people's heart sour, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

In the center of the City of Light, there is a towering ornate white dome building, where the couple formation ceremony is held today.

The long red carpet was laid from the city gate to the auditorium. A couple of newlyweds walked on it in pure white gowns. People stood on both sides along the way. Residents of the City of Light are willing to participate in such a festive event. I am also willing to send them the most sincere blessings.

People from the five major families stood up in the auditorium early, and Xuehu and Emma, ​​who were the officiates, stood on the high platform and waited.

There is a circle of colorful glass windows around the top of the auditorium, through which sunlight passes through, shining colorful rays of light, reflecting the couple who entered the venue hand in hand like a dream.

The moment the newcomers stepped into the auditorium, the beautiful blessing hymn sounded, and everyone quieted down to listen to the beautiful and distant singing.

When the hymn of blessing ended, a couple of newlyweds just stood up in front of the high platform.

Xuehu and Emma looked at them, and turned to the non-orc Vidal.

"Vidal, are you willing to form a partner with Nord under the witness of the beast god, and never be separated forever?"

"I am willing."

"Nord, are you willing to form a partner with Vidal under the witness of the beast god, and never be separated forever?"

"I am willing."

At this time, the fathers of both sides came forward with a tray containing a knife, and each of them picked up one with their right hand, and then stretched out their left hand to the other to let the other cut their own palms, and put the knife back on the tray. The bleeding palms were tightly clasped together.

The voices of Xuehu and Emma sounded at the same time again.

"From now on, your blood is compatible. In the name of the beast god, as evidenced by heaven and earth, Nord and Vidal are declared to be partners. Regardless of life, old age, sickness or death, they will never leave, and they will never be separated."

Their voices were very soft, but they clearly echoed in the wide temple.

There was thunderous applause, and the couple kissed each other with sweet smiles.

As Ivan watched, his right hand habitually stroked the brand under his clothes.

There is one more year, you will come as promised, I know, you will not let me down, Shura.

After the ceremony, under the introduction of Emma, ​​Ivan took Mimir to visit a ninth-level light magician——Gola Haiweigelma, the elder of the Haiweigelma family , this year is 140 years old, although the appearance is only about 40 years old, who can say that a magician can delay aging.

Gora is a kind elder, and he also loves Mimir very much. The old and the young get acquainted quickly, and Ivan feels relieved when he sees this.

Two days later, he packed up and prepared to leave the City of Light.

Emma, ​​Feathered Snake, Jin Enga and Mimir came to see them off, because the other three beasts had something to do and went back to their respective families first.

"Teacher, where are you going? Can I go and see you?" Mi Mier held Ivan's hand reluctantly, her eyes blushing.

"Teacher is in the Misty Mountains. If you want to see me, you have to practice hard, or you will be dealt with by the beasts inside before you even enter the depths of the Misty Mountains."

"I will definitely work hard!"

Ivan nodded, looked at Emma and Feathered Serpent aside, and gave them a hug respectively.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just going back to the Misty Mountains, you can come to see me anytime you want."

The chatty Feathered Snake seldom did not speak, but just wrapped him tightly for a while, and then let go.

They all knew what he was doing when he returned to the Misty Mountains, and they were also worried that the little monster would not appear as scheduled, but they didn't know what the outcome would be, so they couldn't say anything.

"Take care of yourself," Emma instructed.

"I will."

Jin Enga, who had been silent at the side, suddenly walked in front of him, the usual frivolity on his face disappeared, replaced by a rare seriousness, first bowed respectfully, and then said very solemnly: "Ivan Teacher, I beg you to give me a chance to take care of Mi Mier forever, I will never hurt him!"

Mimir was dumbfounded, Ivan raised his eyebrows, Feathered Snake and Emma turned their heads as if they couldn't stand it.

"You shouldn't tell me these things, and I have no right to decide whether to let you take care of Mi Mier. You should ask Mi Mier, as long as he agrees, I will not object, no matter what it is, even if it is You become companions."

"Teacher!" Mi Mier reacted, blushed immediately, and gave Jin Enga a hard look.

Ivan patted his head soothingly, but said to Jin En, "You have one year, take it well."

"Yes!" Jin Enda was overjoyed, and quickly nodded in response.

Embarrassed, Mi Mier stomped her feet, "Teacher, you're dead!" Then she turned and ran away.

"Mimir, wait for me." Jin Enga immediately chased after him, and Ivan's faint voice came from behind.

"Comfort him well, parting is always sad."

Jin Eng paused and nodded to him, "I will." He won't let him hide and cry alone.

After the two left, Ivan and Emma Feathered Serpent had another conversation and then walked away.

The target was the Misty Mountains where he had been away for almost seven years.

The hut in the depths of the Misty Mountains stands quietly. Even though no one has lived in it for many years, the flowers, plants, tables and chairs inside have not changed, and there is not even a dusty house. This is thanks to Ivan leaving Time stop magic when applied.

When Shura left with his parents, he returned home and found that Kars left a few words and disappeared. Although he was depressed, he recovered within three days with his strong mind, and then lived and practiced at home alone until He became an adult and broke through the seventh level before leaving home to practice again.

Before leaving, in addition to casting a time stop spell, he also added a protection spell to prevent wild animals from entering by mistake. Of course, this kind of situation is very small. Finally, he added a trigger circle on the gate, using the chain that Shura gave him as a medium , so that when Shura returned to the Misty Hut to look for him, he could sense it and immediately use the fixed-point teleportation scroll he had prepared to come back.

It's a pity that this magic circle has not been triggered all these years.

It took Ivan half a month to rush back to the misty hut. First, he removed the magic spell of the magic circle around the house, and then cleaned the house inside and out, and then started to live alone.

In addition to preparing three meals a day, he reads, walks, and sleeps, completely putting aside his cultivation. Of course, with his current ninth-level and his own elemental physique, his own strength will grow slowly even if he does not practice, so this is not a big deal. question.

After dinner, he took a walk in the Misty Mountains. The route followed the childhood footprints of Shura and Shura. He discovered that some memories would never be blurred, and the passage of time would only make them more profound.

He remembered the first time he taught Shura to fight. When he was a little boy, he knocked down the little orc who was a head taller than him. The astonishment on his face at that time made him laugh out loud thinking about it now.

He remembered that in order to complete Emma's assessment, he went to the cliff in the north of the forest to pick a ghost flame flower that only bloomed at night. He didn't come home until sunrise, and was scolded bloody by his father.

He remembered that when the Feathered Serpent hibernated, he and Shura stole its favorite, the lotus fruit that only grew outside its cave, and only got one in five years. It was half of him, and the sweet taste was still fresh in his memory.

He remembered how he looked dull when he kissed him for the first time.

He remembered how he'd always shy away from his touch.

He remembers...

From five to 15 years old, from childhood to adolescence, he was suddenly lucky to have that child by his side when he was carefree.

He has always felt that there is a chance between himself and that child. His feelings for him are not a single love, but a family first and then a partner, and the family is irreplaceable to him.

It was summer when Shura left. In other words, the ten-year contract expired as soon as this summer passed. He had already returned to the Misty Mountains in early spring, and began his final wait.

However, when Xia Tian passed completely, Shura did not appear.

Ivan sat on the rocking chair in the yard, holding the sign on his chest, looking at the fallen leaves, and said to himself silently, wait a minute, maybe something has delayed

From autumn to winter, pure white snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and thick snow gradually accumulated on the ground. Ivan, with his childlike innocence, built three snowmen in front of the door, representing Abba, him, and Shura. He watched three snowmen and sat on the threshold all night.

No matter what a person's mood is, time will walk at its own pace.

Then, the ice and snow melted and the earth returned to spring.

There was no second person in the misty hut.

On the third day after the beginning of spring, a flamingo brought an invitation card from the main city of the Sleipnell family - Limener City, the next patriarch of the Sleipnell family Jin Enga Si Rapnell is going to have a couple ceremony with Mimir Gerwick.

He touched the bronzing font and smiled slightly. It's great that his students have found their own happiness.

What about him?

He looked up at the mirror in the room, which clearly reflected the sadness in his eyes, he slowly stood up and walked to the mirror, looking at the self who curled up his lips but made no one feel a trace of joy.

"Hey, if you really fall in love with someone, let him go. If he comes back, he will always be yours. If he doesn't come back, he never belonged to you. Or he actually loves life without you more .”

The man in the mirror spoke with a smile, but there was deep sadness in his eyes.

"Are you saying that a person who will never leave you is more important than a person who loves you?"

He raised his hands to caress the back of his neck, where the buckle of the chain was.

"Not everyone is suitable to grow old with you. Some people are used to grow up; some people are used to live together; some people are used to miss forever."

He looked directly at the person in the mirror, and said word by word, his fingers slowly turned, and a clear voice sounded, the chain around his neck was a lock, he used it to lock his heart for ten years, and he would not let it go The person outside the person has entered, as long as he takes it down now, he can try to gradually forget that person's name, and try to accept others...

As he said, just wait for ten years, never wait!

But those raised hands did not let go for a long time, as if time was frozen.

Finally, he slowly lowered his hand, but the chain was still firmly hanging around his neck.

The person in the mirror smiled helplessly.

"If you say let it go, let it go, who can do it except God? In the short time just now, I was constantly looking for various reasons for him not returning as scheduled. I have to admit that I love that man more than I imagined. child."

If you really love someone deeply, no matter what mistakes he makes or how disappointing you are, you will forgive him and even find excuses for him.Forgiving this kind of thing is only related to the depth of love.There is as much forgiveness as there is love.

"Follow your heart. If you don't want to let go now, don't force yourself. Anyway, the future will last forever."

He patted his face, and the person in the mirror showed a relaxed smile. A magician cultivates his mind, and the word "forced" is the most important thing.Tucking the chain back into his clothes, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving the Mist House again, the place he had always called home.

It's just that this time he didn't set up all kinds of magic circles again. Some things can't be changed forever, and they should be broken or they will be broken.
