Open Your Quest Log Chapter 41

There is no shortage of mixed-race people in this continent, they are a rather special group.

There are many types of hybrids. The combination of different races within human beings is a hybrid in a broad sense, and Barrett is one of them.

His father was a pure Nord barbarian, a retired Royal Nord Guard, the most powerful guard of the Nord Emperor; and his mother was from the desert kingdom of Takara, heard from a wealthy Businessman family.

That woman left before Barrett was sensible, so our barbarian adventurer didn't know much about his mother, except that she seemed to have a problem with old Barrett and returned to her own place alone. motherland.

For this reason, old Barrett often taught little Barrett that if he wants to get married when he grows up, he must never marry a woman in the Mawela Desert, because the women there are too pungent and arrogant, just like pure blood Like the Nightmare Warhorse, it is very difficult to control! Even if you feed him the best feed and brush his flaming mane every day, he will still knock you off the saddle if something goes wrong.

Riding it (her) is a very dangerous thing.

Let's go back to the mixed race. In fact, people like half-elf Estelle belong to the true mixed blood. His father is a human, and his mother is an elf from the elf holy land 'Losrollin'. This combination creates a brand new race - half-elf. This combination of different species is strictly Hybrid in a sense.

In addition to half-elves, there are half-orcs, half-giants, dragons, half-dwarves, half-goblins...

God, I can't say any more, I'm going to throw up.

In this multiverse, intelligent creatures of different species, the reproductive isolation between them is like soap bubbles in the noon sun, seemingly dazzling, and shows their existence through magnificent colors, but as long as you lightly touch Poke it, and the 'soap bubble' will shatter and vanish.

In the misty forest.

Red berries, like gooseberries, but bigger than gooseberries.

Half-elf Estelle looked at the red fruits hidden in the bushes, and couldn't help but think of the years she lived in 'Los Rollins'.

Luo Si Luo Lin - the holy place of the elves

Elves used to be the rulers of the continent before human beings, and they used to have a very brilliant civilization. At that time, human beings had not yet been freed from ignorance, and they did not even have the concept of a country. The level of civilization was not much better than that of monkeys in the jungle.

And now, after you sang, I came on stage, the 'monkey' ruled the continent, but the elves, the elegant race, only had the last habitation of 'Luos Luolin'.

Estelle didn't live in Los Rolin since he was a child. He was originally born in a noble family in the Holy Arathor Kingdom.

At that time, he was not called 'Ester', but had a human name - 'Xiazuo'. His father was a nobleman with some status and assets, while his mother was a slave girl, an elf slave girl...

In fact, the Magic Association does not allow human kingdoms to keep slaves, but the slave trade is still hotly going on in the underground black markets of various human kingdoms. And because the number of large and small nobles involved in the transaction is very large, the kings of various human kingdoms can only turn a blind eye to this.

Only when the Magic Association ordered rectification would the various human kingdoms crack down on it, but once the limelight passed, this slave trade continued. But it is precisely because of the explicit prohibition of the mages, so this kind of transaction has never dared to be too rampant. It was only carried out secretly in the dark, maintaining a fairly stable speed.

Estelle didn't know how his mother became a slave girl, and his mother never told him about her past. But in the holy kingdom of Arathor, the number of elf slaves is actually not small.

The relationship between this human kingdom and the elves is extremely poor. Although under the "skin whip" of the Magic Association, no matter how bad the relationship between the two sides is, there will be no war, but the small friction between them has never been interrupted.

As long as Estelle can remember, his mother has almost never left the house because his father would not allow it. In fact, his father was pretty good to his mother. He never stopped eating and drinking, and he was always gentle and caring when he spoke, but it restricted the latter's freedom.

Mother's ankles always wear a pair of finely crafted shackles. The shackles are light and unusual, and they are also wrapped in elegant purple velvet. After wearing them, they are quite beautiful and charming.

Young Estelle once asked his father why he put his mother in shackles? And his father, who touched Estelle's head at the time, said, "If you don't hold on to good things, they will disappear when you don't pay attention, especially if they have their own consciousness. Listen. Don't understand? My Xia Zuo, if you don't have the shackles, you will lose your mother, and I will lose my slave...wife. Go play and don't care about these things."

Estelle didn't want to lose her mother. Although her brows were always full of sadness, she loved him very much. She always liked to hold the young Estelle in her arms and softly humming songs that he could not understand.

The song was ethereal and quiet, although it reverberated in my ears, it seemed to come from the horizon.

When Estelle was eight years old, one day after his father went out, his mother called him into the room, took his face in both hands, and said to him in a low voice trembling, "en'coiamin (the elf) language, the love of my life), help your mother, go to that man's study to find something."

Mother told him the shape and location of the thing, and how to get it. The young Estelle followed the method and spent a lot of effort in his father's study, moving a mechanism made of a marble faucet, and found a jewelry box in the suddenly rising wall, and finally Found that thing in a jewelry box.

It was an exquisite silver-white pendant, and the center of the hollow-shaped pendant was inlaid with a bright and clear ruby. After that, the mother asked Estelle to take the pendant and a letter written by her to go to the branch of the Central Magic Association in the city.

Young Estelle did so.

However, he was not able to enter the mage tower, and just placed the letter and pendant on the ground under the gaze of the two huge construct golems standing at the door.

Two days later, a mage wearing a strange robe came to his home and rescued his mother. Before leaving, her mother hugged Estelle tightly, hoping that he could go with her.

Young Estelle did the same again. But this decision had a profound impact on his character.

Estri followed his mother, escorted by the wizard in a strange robe, to the elf holy land 'Los Lorin'. There, 'Shazo' became 'Ester', and the young half-elf lived for thirty years.

Yes, Estelle is fifty years old this year, more than ten years older than Barrett. Half-elves inherit many advantages of both humans and elves - they mature very quickly, but they live a long life, and their physical condition can stay for a long time in their young adulthood. They are a very good race.

The years that Estelle lived in 'Los Rollins' were not good, and the light eating habits of the elves did not suit his appetite. Gooseberry wine, honey, bread, and some fruit, this is Estelle's daily diet. However, diet is just a trivial matter, and what is more serious is the difference in philosophy and values.

During the eight years of living in the human kingdom, many human habits and ways of thinking were deeply rooted in Estelle's young heart, but Estelle's mother wanted to educate him as a " Perfect" spirit.

Young Estelle still followed suit.

He followed his mother's request and worked hard to integrate himself into other elves. But this time, he didn't succeed.

The elves are graceful and noble, they do not insult or beat him. They even smiled politely at him and greeted him with elvish manners when they met. But as he grew older and wiser, Estelle felt that lingering sense of alienation more and more. The elf sanctuary wrapped him layer by layer, but did not allow him to truly integrate into it.

After all, a half-elf is not an elves, he is just a half-blood.

This sense of alienation made the young Estelle feel more and more suffocated, which caused him to do a lot of outrageous and absurd things in the holy land of the elves during the rebellious period. If there is a chance in the future, we will come together again.

In the end, under the disappointed eyes of her mother, Estelle left 'Los Rollin' and began to wander alone in the human kingdom.

Half-elves have been to many places, and they have even gone to sea as pirates for some time. And when Estelle got tired of life at sea and returned to land, he met Wizard Will and joined the adventurer team called "Dirty Fiction".

Years of adventure have gradually made him mature, but his childhood past, the strange relationship between his parents, the alienation from the elf holy land, the hope and disappointment of his mother~www.mtlnovel.com~ all kinds of fragmented experiences make him feel like a A potted plant growing in a twisted way.

"Are these 'rubies' worthwhile in front of me?" Eslite asked the Nords. "I mean in terms of eating. Of course, it would be better if they were really worth the price of a gem, but it would be extra heart-wrenching to eat." He smiled.

Having said that, Estelle didn't care whether these fruits were poisonous at all, let alone whether they were really worth the price of gems. He speaks and asks questions more like a kind of work. In the team, the half-elf is responsible for external communication.

"Just tasting one should, shouldn't be too painful." The ogre said cautiously, "Moglock won't eat too much!"

Such words made everyone smile. Estelle patted the ogre's stomach and shook his head with a smile.

"It's a pity that 'ruby' happens to be the half that can't be eaten." The Nord shrugged regretfully at the ogre Moglock, and reached out to pick a few fruits from the bushes, "Misty Forest The squirrels can eat it, the rabbit can eat it, but the humans can't. Oh, yes, you're an ogre. But I don't recommend you take the risk."

"Although it can't be eaten, it doesn't prevent you from taking it as a souvenir." The Nords still gave each one a berry.

Estelle reached out to take the red fruit and held it in front of her eyes to observe. He found that the berries actually started to harden slowly in his hands, and the skin began to gradually become translucent, revealing the crystal clear flesh inside. At first glance, it really looked like a ruby.

Like the one in the mother's pendant.
