When neither Itio nor Magneto talked about power, their usual relationship was calm.Eric finally fully believes that Itiou is indeed an elf who looks the same.

It's hard for anyone not to like Itiou, she has a kind of princess's indifference, but also a kind of simplicity and tenderness.Her tenderness is not blank, but more like the tolerant tenderness after experiencing many things.

Eric really appreciates and has a good impression of this, but it is a pity that he is a person who regards all mutants above all else, and he can sacrifice himself or anyone for righteousness without hesitation.However, the abnormal attitude of the three sisters made him vigilant. They seemed to want to win the power of the elves more than he did.

Is that really just because they want to wipe out humans?

This morning, Eric woke up in the morning mist of the forest. This remote forest is far away from all disputes. Staying here for a few days may even give people an illusion: the whole world is so calm here.

Charles kept calling him, and Eric never answered.Early this morning, he suddenly thought of Polaris and the twins, which made him turn on his cell phone, and sure enough——Charles received countless calls.

Eric was silent for a while, he dialed Charles' cell phone number, almost at the same time, Charles picked up.

"Charles," Eric said quietly.

Charles took a deep breath.

Too many things happened during this time, and Eric's phone call suddenly made it difficult for him to speak.

"...What the hell happened?" Charles whispered, "What made you suddenly decide to do this? You can tell me, Eric."

"I saw the future," Eric said, "Humanity wiped out mutants and superheroes. I saw how every single one of my fellow man died. The peaceful coexistence you expect is not coming, Charles. I know you won't understand me, but I'm going to do it."

"You can't win! Even if mutants have power beyond ordinary people, how many mutants are there in the world?" Charles said, "You are declaring war on the whole world, and all countries are fighting against you. How can you Have a chance of victory? Didn't you ever think—" Charles paused, he took a deep breath, his voice was a little trembling, "Didn't you ever think that you might really die this time?"

"I've thought about it." Eric said calmly, "No matter what, this time, humans will remember that mutants are not easy to bully. If I die, you can negotiate with humans on behalf of mutants and earn political power." The right to superiority—isn’t this what you want? You have a good image in the eyes of humans, and they will be willing to give each other this step.”

"Eric!" Charles lowered his voice, he said with a little pain, "There must be other solutions."

"This matter cannot be resolved through peaceful negotiations. Mutants are women and blacks at that time. Without a strong deterrent, arrogant humans will not calm down and listen to your words."

Charles was silent.

"What about...Itio?" he said. "Why did you take her?"

"She has a powerful force that can achieve anything." Eric's tone finally fluctuated, "Charles, isn't this the other way you want? I know it's absurd. But if it's possible... … mutants get what we deserve without bloodshed.”

"You can't hurt her, she has nothing to do with this matter!"

"I don't want to hurt her, I just want her power."

Charles was silent again.

After a while, he said, "Pull the power off her body without hurting her fur, do you think it's possible, Eric?"

Eric didn't speak either.

Charles sighed.

"Even though she's an elf who lived thousands of years ago, she's still more like an adult child, isn't she?" Charles said. "If Nina is still alive, she should be an adult by now."

Eric hung up the phone, upset.He knew that Charles wanted to persuade him not to touch Itio in this way, but his dead wife and daughter were the eternal pain in his heart, and neither the twins nor Polaris was brought up by him.But Nina, his lovely little daughter, was raised by himself.

He reads story books to her every night, plays house with Barbie dolls with her, and buries her head in his shoulder when she acts like a baby.

He once really thought about retiring for the rest of his life, keeping his name incognito for the rest of his life, for the sake of his daughter.

However, she was killed by humans.His wife and daughter, his parents, his compatriots—human beings killed so many mutants, why didn't they pay the price?

Eric was irritable, and the thought of this incident made him murderous.Originally, during this period of time, the hostility on his body has been worn away by the elf's peace.

He walked up to the second floor, expecting to see a familiar slender golden figure, but there was no one in the living room, and there was an open book on the table, which he gave her before.Eric walked through the living room, he knocked on Itio's door, and pushed it open - the room was empty, the railing of the iron window should be on the ground through the glass, and he saw his shocked look through the glass .

He immediately pushed open the doors of all the rooms on the second floor, and there was no one there.

The man's footsteps became quicker, and he ran down the first floor. There were no elves in the rooms on the first floor, but there were only three soldiers guarding today, and they were all in the courtyard.Frightened and furious, he walked towards the gate, and the iron gate suddenly opened automatically, scaring the dozing soldiers on duty.

"...First, sir?" Looking at his expression, the soldier asked fearfully.

Eric looked gloomy. He walked around the yard, but there was still nothing.He stopped abruptly, turned and grabbed the soldier by the collar.

"Where's the elf?" He gritted his teeth and asked word by word.

The soldier's pupils dilated instantly.

"That's impossible!" said the soldier.

Eric was too lazy to talk nonsense, he let go of him, and the soldiers immediately greeted each other and ran out of the yard with guns to search.Eric still stood where he was, his chest heaving, and there was a rage still burning in his chest.

He was angry, partly with himself and partly with the elf.

Only then did he realize that he actually believed her in the past.She said she would not run away, so he trusted her when he didn't notice, but she still broke her promise.

Yes, this is human nature. Anyone who is imprisoned like this will find a way to escape. Eric is even more angry with himself. He actually believed her like a kid?Hell.

Damn elves!

He was just a little bit close to feeling guilty about his actions!

Eric was still panting angrily, when he saw the soldier whose collar he grabbed just now ran back from the gate.

"Sir, we found her."

……

It's not far from the east side of the yard.There is a small abandoned pool in this forest. Moss spreads down from the pool, and the occasional rainwater accumulates in the pool, which will attract some animals.Itiou was still there when Eric and the soldiers arrived in a hurry.They stopped not far away, because the scene in front of them was a bit unbelievable-the wild animals that were originally afraid of people did not run away at this moment.They saw squirrels standing by the pool nibbling pine nuts, merle grazing the ground, and most importantly, a brown male wild deer was there and Itio was stroking his head.

She noticed Eric and the others, she turned her head and met Eric's gaze, her voice was calm, but her eyes were shining, "There are still deer here." She said, her voice revealed infinite joy, "I haven't seen a deer for a long time."

She didn't say a word about how she managed to 'break out of prison'. It seemed that everything was quite normal now.

Eric walked over. Strangely, the elf seemed to be like a fire extinguisher, extinguishing the anger in his heart.

"You like deer?" he asked.

Itio nodded.The buck was vigilant because of Eric's approach. She reached out to stroke its back, and the buck continued to drink water trustingly and docilely.

"Deer is the guardian animal of our family. My father, brother and I have each raised a big-horned deer." Itiou said, "The power you know—is a white deer that has lived for tens of thousands of years. Mine. It was originally the guardian of my world, but it lived too long and was too weak, so I promised to inherit its power and continue to guard this world so that it can be freed."

That strange feeling returned to Eric's heart.Human instincts make them wary of the strong, but subconsciously want to protect the weak.Children and women make men aroused to be protective.Now Eric has this feeling, even though the elf is an adult, maybe she is too pure and white, which makes Eric feel a strange sense of shame—as if taking her power is like bullying someone The little loli who doesn't know anything and is nice to everyone.

That's strange, as Magneto, these sentimental sentiments should have long since disappeared.

"How did you get out?" Eric asked to ease the mood.

Itiou sighed softly, looking a little helpless.

"You are spying on me in the same way as humans," she said, "but elves are not so easy to control. I don't want to escape, but I'm not a bird, and you can't keep me in the room forever."

"I don't think well." Eric said without thinking.

——It's so weird that he's still apologizing? !

The stag was about to leave, Itio caressed it reluctantly, the round black eyes of the deer met Itio's eyes, at that moment, Eric even had a terrible feeling that they were saying goodbye.

After saying goodbye to the stag and the other animals, they walked back together.After walking a distance in silence, Eric said, "Don't run out suddenly again."

"Actually, I should run." Itiou complained softly, "Am I staying here just to wait for you to peel off my energy?"

"I won't hurt you," Eric said again.

"If you want my power, that's unlikely," said Itiou.

Eric was silent.

He had thought about it this morning.If it doesn't work, he can go ahead with his original plan and start a war against humans—although the wish of unlimited hope sounds very tempting, but even on his own, Eric believes that they will succeed.

Itiou glanced at him and seemed to understand what he was thinking, she sighed but didn't speak.

She is not from this planet, at most she can only offer some suggestions, but she is not too involved in their own affairs.

"You still can't remember the past?" At this time, Eric asked.

Itio nodded.

"There was a blank period," she said. "I don't understand what happened during this blank period to let you humans know my secret."

They returned to the yard, which Itio called the 'Birdcage'.

For some reason, the atmosphere between them is much better than before.Maybe because there was no conflict before, I didn't talk as much as today.

Eric took Itiou back to the second floor, she sat at the table, and Eric stood on the stairs.

He stood there, thought for a while, and said, "Stop sneaking out. If you want to go out, let me know. You are in my hands now. If you suddenly disappear, I will not be able to explain it."

Hearing this, Itiou couldn't help but smile from the corners of his eyes.

"You're a strange man, Magneto," she said. "You seem like a hard-boiled bad guy and a bit of a dead-on good guy. You're not as unreasonable as you're told, are you?"

"No, the legend is true." Eric said dryly, "If it weren't for you being an elf and a princess, I wouldn't be so kind to you."

"Okay, thank you for your kindness." Itiou nodded.

The elf was too prudish, so Eric couldn't tell if it was a run on her.

When he left the second floor, the image of the elf leaning against his head seemed to be still echoing in his mind, with a half-smile.But no matter how hard she tried to look cunning, she still looked like a lamb trying to pretend to be fierce-I'm afraid no one told her.

Eric probably made up his mind, he didn't want to make a fuss about the elves anymore, but his curiosity about the three women was hooked.

He wants to use this incident to reveal their disguise in one fell swoop!
