holy flame

Although the more than 300 questions on the scroll made everyone look awkward, but everyone knows that most of the prestigious legions have a tradition of making things difficult for newcomers. In fact, this is also a way for newcomers to integrate into the group as soon as possible.Therefore, even if you know that you are being made things difficult, you can't refuse, otherwise, being an outlier in a legion is not just as simple as being excluded, it is not new to be shot in the back by your comrades on the battlefield, and Samuel can't exception.

After a short laugh, everyone quickly divided all the problems into four categories: simple, common, difficult, and giving up.Of course, the simple ones just need a little effort to know the answer without using the brain, the ordinary ones need a little brains, and the difficult ones are not necessarily able to be done after spending brain and physical energy. As for giving up, of course it is similar to "Fina is the last What color is your favorite corset?" Barring some coincidence, it is absolutely impossible for him to find the answer.

"Everyone rests for two days, and we will start answering the questions after two days." The questions have been transcribed on another parchment, but Samuel is not in a hurry to find out the answers.After all, although they only dealt with wild beasts and a small band of robbers after leaving Wasteland Town, and no major battles occurred, the people who had been on the road for a long time were still very tired, and proper rest was necessary.

"Samuel, do you want to go shopping with me?" Julian first invited Samuel after the meeting was over.

"Tomorrow." Samuel shook his head.

"Of course." Julian didn't intend to go immediately at first. Samuel had already surprised him by agreeing to go tomorrow so straightforwardly, but the joy soon disappeared, leaving only surprise.Because after answering him, Samuel took the initiative to catch up with Frank who was about to go back to the room.

"Frank, there's something we need to talk about."

What could he have with Frank?Julian subconsciously wanted to join.As a result, Samuel noticed his intentions first, turned his head and said to him: "Julian, you go to rest." The tone of the statement was full of doubts.Julian retracted his foot that was going to be stretched out. He knew that Samuel's identity when he said this was not the man who accepted his pursuit, but the leader of this small team: "Yes."

Seeing Samuel and Frank disappear into the room, Julian understood that Samuel's righteous words could not be due to emotional problems, so what made him react so violently suddenly... He thought of the elf in the morning, the one on his forehead The beautiful but weird pattern appeared, as well as the conversation between him and Fina, so Frank knows Samuel's life experience?

"Excuse me, we are your neighbors!" Just as Julian was thinking hard, a man's voice came from outside.

Ryan, Eric and the others heard voices coming out of the house, but Samuel and Frank remained motionless.Julian stood up: "Go and rest, I'll greet the neighbors." After speaking, he walked towards the door without waiting for an answer.

"Hello, we are from the Wells family next door to yours." There were three men standing outside the door, the leader was a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament, and the other two were very young, "Shortbread, this is mine. A little greeting."

"Thank you." Except for the waiters in the hotel or the banquet, it was the first time for Julian to take the freshly baked shortbread from a man, but the shortbread with the sweet and creamy aroma was indeed very similar to this man.

"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can talk as much as you can. After all, we have been neighbors for a long time. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Volent, and they are Kay and Cass."

Kay and Cass are both about 20 years old, and they are somewhat similar to Walent in terms of temperament and appearance. Julian guessed at first that the three of them are father and son, but when Warrant introduced them, the relationship between the three It feels like a father and son.So all he could do was hold the big box full of shortbread in one hand and shake their hands with the other, but he didn't know what to say.

Warrant, seeing his embarrassment, laughed and explained, "We're both Wells' mates."

"Ugh!" Julian froze for a moment.The teaching of the Holy Spirit prohibits polygamy, even if the wife is a man.

"We didn't go to the altar with him." Volent shrugged. "Nice to meet you. Say hello to Paladin Samuel for me."

"Wait, Warrant, wait a minute." Julian hurriedly put the shortbread box on the floor of the door, closed the door and chased him out, "Warrant, can I talk to you, in private? "

Walent looked at Julian as if he understood something: "Of course."

As Julian guessed, what Samuel wanted to talk to Frank about was indeed his life experience.

"I don't need who my parents are. I just want to know, is one of them an elf? I think you've seen what happened today. No matter what happens next, good or bad, I need to be prepared You know, I really don't want to have anything to do with them anymore, but I have to inherit this kind of trouble that obviously comes from blood—I'm definitely more annoying than my parents who don't know their identities at this point."

"Actually, I have received orders from them." Frank has been paying attention to Samuel, but he is a little regretful. Hearing him say that, Samuel's face is not excited, not even a little curious, " Since you became a paladin, there are some things that you can’t keep hiding even if you want to.”

Samuel sat across from him and nodded to show he was listening.

"Your mother is indeed an elf, but she is not an elf of Crowline, she is a dark elf."

"But the skins of me and Alan..." The elves originally had no distinction between black elves and white elves, but a long time ago, elves on a certain continent betrayed the Holy God and fell into the embrace of darkness.Because of their change of alignment, and the curse of the Holy God they suffered later—the skin turned dark gray, while the hair and eyes all turned into a degenerate black, so they were called black elves.

"The black elf was originally a member of the light elves. Because of your father, the sins in her blood were washed away, and only the purest bright blood continues on your body."

"Then the symbol on my forehead?"

"Elves value family the most. Even though elves are all over the world now, in the earliest days, they were inherited from twelve elf families. That magic can know the origin of an elf. But if it is a mixed-blood elf, most of the magic It just makes your forehead glow green, only pure blood can show such a clear pattern."

"..." The situation is clear, otherwise the elf treated him so well, so the elf mistakenly thought that he was a clansman living in the human world.This situation seems to be very simple, but first of all, Samuel was a child when he was an ordinary elf, but Samuel is already an adult, so the elves have not found a way to speed up the growth of elves since ancient times.Secondly, if there are children, there will be parents, and it is difficult for elves to give birth, so they attach great importance to offspring.How did his parents escape to the human world, and why did they leave the child behind?The problem here is big.Finally, Samuel is now a paladin, and it is obviously not an easy task for him to "recognize his ancestors and return to his clan".

But in this case, Samuel has nothing to do with him, he just needs to be his paladin, and let the elves do the rest.

"Thank you, Frank. I interrupted you to rest, goodbye." After knowing what he wanted to know, Samuel got up to leave.

"Samuel, don't you want to know how your mother came to Clorion?"

"Will you tell me?"

"No." Frank shook his head.

"Then what else do I ask?"

"..." Frank froze for a moment, then shook his head bitterly.

"You are arguing for my parents, which makes me very heartless, because I don't want to know my own life experience at all except for matters related to myself?"

Frank lowered his head, he really thought so.

"Frank, I admit that I don't understand feelings. But, Alan and I are the ones who have been abandoned, right? Of course, I understand that they have to do this for some reason. But because of their last resort or forced by the situation, Is it justified to abandon this kind of behavior? As a parent, since you can’t bear the responsibility of nurturing, then don’t give birth, because the child has never begged anyone to give birth to him.”

Samuel leaves, remembering Julian asking him to go shopping.Judging from his previous life experience, this should be a date, right?It is true that they haven't dated once since dating, it's time for him to fulfill his obligations as a boyfriend~——
