Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Invitation from the Wicked Demon
1/2
Vielsia was stunned for a full three seconds.
At this moment, her brain couldn't process what was happening.
Was the kind lady talking about her?
This princess, who had always been wandering outside and only thought about how to revive the elven race, had never seen such a way of speaking. When she came to her senses, she felt her face was burning.
She had received praise in the elven race before, but most of it was like -"Princess, you are as white as the moon!"-, -"Your Highness's beauty is like the most blooming flower!"-.
"Sorry, it was a bit abrupt. I just wanted to express my thanks to Miss Vielsia, that's all."
"No, no, no, it's nothing, Teacher, your story was very exciting, wasn't it! I'm sorry, I mean, I'm also very grateful that you told me so much. Your experiences have benefited me greatly, really. Thank you very much!!"
Vielsia lowered her head, not daring to look at Reji, afraid that her current flustered expression was too shameful. She clenched her clothes tightly with both hands, and saying this was already her limit.
"So, Miss Vielsia, can I understand that you believe in the light cube that the little boy got in the story? After all, this should be the premise for us to further discuss."
"Of course! Of course, Teacher! I believe you!"
Vielsia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
In fact, in her heart, when Reji described the function of the light cube, she basically knew what Reji had gotten.
That's right.
This human Teacher probably didn't know, but she knew the true name of that light cube - it was called the Orb of Wisdom, a legendary artifact.
The Orb of Wisdom had no combat use. Its only effect was that it could store the user's memories, knowledge, and experiences, backing them up and sealing them in the orb to be passed down to future generations.
And this human Teacher, who had fallen off a cliff and fortunately found it, Vielsia, based on Reji's description, could cross a thousand years of time and space and contained various magical knowledge and images.
It was very likely that it was the Orb of Wisdom of the Great Guardian a thousand years ago!
'So... Idiot!'
'I am such an idiot!'
When Vielsia thought back to the shock and loss she felt when she heard about the little boy's suicide, she felt so stupid and foolish.
From the beginning, hadn't she already guessed that the little boy in the story was the Teacher himself?
And if the little boy had really fallen off the cliff and died, then where did the Teacher in front of her come from? How could she still be listening to this story?
She hadn't even realized such a simple logical deduction.
'What's going on?'
'When had my brain become so slow? It was as if I had been cast with a "spell of intelligence reduction"!'
After calming down a bit and clearing her mind, Vielsia now felt that many of the mysteries surrounding the young Teacher had been solved.
'No wonder...'
'No wonder Teacher knew so many high-level spells.'
'He was also quite knowledgeable about ancient history, and his lectures even gave me the feeling that he had personally experienced everything'
'Now everything made sense'
The Orb of Wisdom was a treasure of inheritance, not only imparting knowledge but also granting wisdom, making one feel as if they were truly there, experiencing it for themselves.
Furthermore, this was the Orb of Wisdom of the Great Guardian, and even though a thousand years had passed, the inheritance it contained... just thinking about it made Vielsia excited!
There was no mistake about it!
If before, Vielsia had only vaguely sensed it and relied on her intuition, then now, this elven princess was absolutely certain that the young human in front of her, Teacher Reji, was the opportunity mentioned in the prophecies of her elven ancestors!
He was the human she had been looking for, the one who could help the elves and assist her in completing the sealing ceremony against the demon race!
Vielsia now felt as if she, like the little boy in the story who had fallen off the cliff, had found a treasure.
The little boy had found the Orb of Wisdom.
And the treasure she had found was none other than Teacher Reji!
After confirming this point, Vielsia quickly became anxious again.
After all, the significance of Reji to her had changed. In an instant, he had gone from being a mysterious Teacher she was curious about and wanted to learn more about, to now being the human companion who would bring about the rise of the elves, as mentioned in the prophecy!
It was because of this that Vielsia was now particularly concerned about one thing.
In Teacher Reji's previous story, he mentioned that he had seen multiple races in the light sphere. Vielsia couldn't help but wonder if, among these races, there were...
"Teacher Reji, you mentioned that you saw multiple races? Could it be that, apart from us humans, there are other races in this world?" Vielsia pretended to be curious and asked Reji.
She hoped to hear the word "elves" from Reji's mouth.
Of course, Reji would not disappoint Vielsia's expectations.
He vaguely hinted that the "Orb of Wisdom" inheritance identity he had arranged for himself seemed to have been filled in by Vielsia.
"Races, hmm... If we're talking about the ones that left the deepest impression, there might be two races. One of them has golden hair like wheat, amber-green eyes, and a pair of slightly longer and pointed ears compared to humans.
Aside from their enchanting beauty, they also have an extremely high aptitude for magic."
"In the illusory images of the light cube, many high-level spells of humans even originated from the teachings of this race. And they... I remember that the name of this race seems to be..."
Reji deliberately created suspense and still didn't say it, as if he had forgotten and was trying hard to remember.
This made Vielsia, who was beside him, incredibly anxious.
When Vielsia heard Reji describe the elves in this way, she was overjoyed, as if she had eaten a honey pot. The elves had not misjudged this human, and the Great Guardian had not let them down by giving the most beautiful image of the elves to future generations of humans.
But now, as Reji deliberately didn't say it and seemed to have forgotten, Vielsia's previous happiness turned into anxiety.
In the end, she couldn't hold it in any longer and, in her excitement, spoke up before Reji could.
"Elves!"
"They're called elves!"
"Right! That's the name. But, huh? How do you know, Miss Vielsia?"
Reji was originally planning to tease this somewhat silly and sweet elf.
But unexpectedly, Vielsia's next words made him furrow his brow.
"I, I heard it in the ancient history class! Teacher Yeno told us a lot about the past from a thousand years ago. Not only elves but also... the demon race was mentioned in class."
Perhaps afraid of revealing her identity, Vielsia hastily explained and even worried that Reji wouldn't believe her. As proof, she took out a dark purple invitation from her pocket.
"Teacher Yeno is also very interested in and has done extensive research on ancient history and the myths and legends from a thousand years ago, just like you. He even specifically organized an off-campus gathering for this purpose. Look!"
As soon as Vielsia took out the invitation, a shadow behind Reji moved slightly.
And after Reji accepted the invitation, as if confirming something, the shadow crept up to his ear along his back.
Shermen's voice sounded.
-"Your Majesty, there is the aura of a Wicked Demon on this invitation."-
