Chapter 258 This topic is a bit wrong
Dangerous monsters in the wilderness and magic radiation in the wasteland of Gondor are not the biggest problems that an elf ranger far away from his hometown has to face. The increasing hair loss is the ultimate stroke of Saldrin Shuangye.
Well, Saldrin didn't say this, but Gao Wen believed that this must be the most sincere words in the heart of this high-level elf ranger.
He knew Saldrin or Gowan Cecil knew Saldrin. It was during the great development seven hundred years ago. At that time, this elf ranger was a nameless person who had just left his hometown for a few years and was traveling in the northern part of the mainland. Although he had the strength of a high-level ranger, he had no such great name as "blond Soldrin". At that time, he was unlucky in the territory of the Gondor Empire. After the magic tide suddenly arose, the elf ranger was trapped in the wasteland of the human empire and broke off contact with his hometown.
The Northern Trail Army of Mankind rescued the alone elf ranger in chaos, and Gowen Cecil incorporated him into his own command.
After that, the two fought side by side for many years, until the last few years before Gowen Cecil's death, Saldrin left the human army and began to continue traveling in the northern part of the mainland as a free mercenary.
Almost no one knows why Saldrin left the Silver Empire alone, and no one knows what purpose this high-level ranger travels on the mainland. Today, seven hundred years later, no one knows why this powerful free mercenary warrior never stimulates his power to more than 70% in battle. Only Gao Wen knows this secret because Saldrin wears a wig...
This unlucky child came out that year just wanted to find folk remedies to treat his hair loss...
To be honest, when these related memories came to my mind, Gao Wen almost made all the muscles on his face cramped before he didn't laugh out loud on the spot. He wanted to laugh out loud. First of all, he didn't think that he would rebuild friendship with Saldrin. The boat of friendship would not only overturn, but would even rush around on the spot and then hit the two people's faces after more than 20 rounds. Then they would start fighting on the spot...
So he tried to keep his attitude calm, and according to the memory of Govin Cecil's attitude towards Saldrin, he slowly reminiscent of the elf ranger: "Do you remember how I discovered your secret at that time?"
"I didn't know that one of the top commanders of the Human Alliance had a hair grabbing when fighting with someone," Saldrin mentioned this, which was a little more than seven hundred years old, and gave Gao Wen a very unhappy look. "Fortunately, no one was watching around at that time, otherwise I would have splattered blood with you for five steps..."
Gao Wen spread his hands: "You can't beat me."
"I couldn't beat it back then, but what about now?" Saldrin looked up and down at Gao Wen, "I feel that your strength has declined a lot."
"You can't beat it now," Gao Wen responded calmly with the guiding ideology of whether he was feeling weak or not. "You might have a chance when I woke up, but now I'm recovering."
Saldrin calmed down and stared at Gao Wen without blinking. He stared at him for a long time until the latter doubted whether the elf had a problem with its orientation, and he broke his silence: "I still can't believe that you actually came back to life again... I learned the news in Tifeng, but at first I thought it was a farce created by the Ansu royal family for some purpose. I cursed the illegitimate son king in my heart. Finally, I didn't expect you to be real. "
After a pause, he shook his head and continued, "I wanted to come over and confirm the situation at the beginning, but I really couldn't find the opportunity."
Gao Wen glanced at him: "So you led the team to infiltrate this time to take this opportunity to confirm my authenticity?"
"This is part of the purpose," Saldrin replied frankly, "I received the order. The people on Tifung don't know that I had a friendship with you seven hundred years ago. They appointed me as the commander of the Dark Mountains infiltration operation, so I came and saw if Gowen Cecil was real. If not, I would kill the fake one with my own hands... To be honest, I was almost 90% sure that you were fake."
Gao Wen was stunned: "Why are you so sure?"
"I was at the scene when you were buried," Saldrin looked at Gao Wen's eyes. "When I was traveling around the Holy Spirit Plain, I heard about your death on the southern front line, and then I went directly to your territory, just in the last moment before you were buried. Due to your experience of fighting side by side, your wife allowed me to approach your... body. I can confirm that you were really dead at that time, and my soul left that body. I can be sure that my perception is not wrong. The elves' perception of life is far more than you humans."
Gao Wen's expression changed slightly, and a huge wave caused in his heart. He suddenly realized how much significance the appearance of this elf "old friend" had to him. He realized that this was a witness who truly witnessed Gao Wen Cecil's life and even witnessed the death of the latter. What he said was more reliable than any historical books in later generations and more accurate than any third-party retelling!
Although he inherited most of Gowen Cecil's memories, he always believed that the memories he inherited were flawed and twisted. So will this elf make up for this part of the flaw?
But in order to avoid the excessively abnormal behavior aroused Saldrin's suspicion, Gao Wen did not immediately reveal the problematic side of his memory, but temporarily suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked other questions in accordance with Saldrin's words, which were also concerning: "How was my situation at that time? I mean when I was lying in the coffin."
It is obviously a strange experience to discuss the other party's body face to face with a death party. Even Saldrin, who had been traveling on the mainland for 700 years, couldn't help but tremble, but he still answered seriously: "You died in exhaustion. Your guards fought to death to rob your body, so you had almost no external injuries. The cause of death was the exhaustion of the organs throughout the body. Because I was not on the battlefield at the last moment, I don't know what happened to you in the specific death."
At the end of the day, the expression on Saldrin's face seemed a little sad and ashamed. It was obvious that he always had a grudge against his failure to fight with him in the last moment of Gowen Cecil. This faint guilt probably has accompanied him for seven centuries as an elf of immortality. When dealing with short-lived humans, he would inevitably be entangled by this kind of mood. Seeing this, Gao Wen could only sigh in his heart and a comforting smile appeared on his face: "Okay, don't be so entangled when everyone dies."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "If everyone lives, then there is no need to worry about it."
Saldrin's face twitched for a moment, while Gao Wen forced the topic to continue: "Where are the rest of the funeral?"
"Your funeral process was very smooth, it was extremely solemn and unforgettable. King Charles himself set off the first and last steel nails, and all the dukes and marquis of the kingdom were present at the time. At the end of the funeral, the power of the element appeared briefly, and the incarnation of the four elemental forces resided briefly outside your tomb. Scholars believe that it is the sign of the official end of the contract you and the elements."
Gao Wen finally grasped a key point: "Did you say that the incarnation of the Four Elements appeared at that time?"
"Yes, at least I saw the wind element briefly appearing. A wall outside the tomb chamber was covered by a cloud of air at that time," Solderin nodded, "but the incarnation of the element did not communicate with humans. They only appeared for a moment, probably less than a minute."
Gowen Cecil once signed a contract with the Four Elements. This is not only a legend that has been passed down for seven hundred years in the Kingdom of Ansu, but also a legend that minstrels from all over the mainland have always talked about. This "legend" was not completely fabricated.
Gowen Cecil did communicate with the elements. His ability to grow into a legendary power in just thirty-five years of life is also closely related to the power of the element, but the contract is not as simple and clear as ordinary people imagine. In fact, even Gowen himself couldn't understand what Gowen Cecil had agreed with the elements back then.
The incarnation of elemental power has a chaotic and elusive "mind", and the human spiritual structure is almost impossible to communicate with it. Even those shamans who claim to be able to communicate with elements dare not say that they can understand the language of elements. For most mortals who study the way of elements, the so-called "communication with elements" is just a vague guessing the flow tendency of elemental power. If anyone says that he has established a rational and logical connection with "a certain elemental incarnation", he will either be a liar, a madman, or just a poor person deceived by the "elemental monarch".
Those "elemental creatures" living in various planes and the real "elemental power" are not the same thing at all. The former is essentially just a tangible and qualitative creature with very extreme magic tendencies formed by a single element, while the latter is actually more similar to a certain embodiment of the essence of the world.
In the legend, Gao Wen Cecil signed a contract with the four major elements, and the object of the contract seemed to be the essence of those elements, not some powerful elemental creature. This is a fact that shocked Gao Wen the most and was the most unbelievable.
But just like those memories of "the sea of eternal darkness" and "secret sailing", the memories of how Gowen Cecil entered into a contract with the four elements are also blank in his inherited memories.
Now even if he wants to find the truth from elemental wills, he has no idea where to start.
Gao Wen's mind was turning around with various knowledge related to elemental essence and elemental creatures. While thinking, he did not forget to remind himself: when analyzing elemental creatures, he had to pick out the deep-sea harmony gods as soon as possible. Although Tyr said that siren is also elemental creatures, he always felt that he had to pick out the salted fish spirits in any situation and discuss them separately. They were so weird. They were really considered as research samples and were afraid that they would lose san...
"What did you think of?" Saldrin couldn't help asking when he saw that Gao Wen had not spoken for a long time, and his expression was gloomy and gloomy on his face.
"How much do you know about the Way of Elements?" Gao Wen asked casually.
Saldrin thought for a while: "I am proficient in the four spellings of the Way of Elements in the Common and Elfs of Humanity, and I also know who wrote the highest work on the four elements..."
"...Then I have nothing to say," Gao Wen shook his eyes slightly, "Apart from that, what else is happening at my funeral?"
Saldrin recalled seriously and finally shook his head: "It's gone, you were lying in it peacefully."
"...Why don't we change the topic."
