Chapter 438

In the hall at the bottom of the tower, surrounded by a group of elves, Maka sat at a not too big round table, drinking sweet spring water and eating crispy cakes baked by elves. She felt pretty good.

From these elves with strong autonomy, we can see that their race naturally likes to work, which has subtle similarities with modern domestic elves.

In ancient times, elves had many kinds of good or evil according to different blood branches. The ancestors of domestic elves used to be called "Brown elves" in Scotland and other places because they often wore a set of brown rags.

Unlike most of their mischievous and mischievous cousins, brown elves prefer to observe human behavior. And they will live in harmony with people who are friendly to them.

If they can feel kindness from you, they may help you with the housework and repair the house. At the same time, they with strong curiosity will always take advantage of more contact opportunities to secretly stare at you.

It's just that the brown elves don't like reward.

If you want to give them something in return because you appreciate their help, they will immediately consider it an insult to them and leave your home forever. If something is more serious, it may even start making trouble in your daily life.

It can be seen that the reason why domestic elves form such strange personality traits now is probably related to this.

While enjoying this slightly leisurely afternoon tea, Maka is also promoting the topic bit by bit intentionally or unintentionally.

As far as Maka knows them, he knows that this stability is not easy for an elf.

It was only thanks to this steadiness that he was able to speak a less fluent ancient language and carry on the dialogue smoothly.

From lac's mouth, Maka learned about the origins of some of their elves' ancestors and roina Ravenclaw.

In fact, their ancestors had lived on the island for a long time before Roy Na found the island in the center of the Mediterranean.

It is said that there were two ancient wizard households far away from the population on the island at that time. Their ancestors often helped the two small families do odd jobs as they liked, and occasionally took some milk from the kitchens of the two families.

Later, the descendants of the two wizard families gradually stopped coming back. The older generation of wizards also died successively, and the ancestors of the Elves were lonely again.

Until one day, a young girl appeared on the island and built a hut with magic. That rather humble hut is the original appearance of the wizard tower.

The elves didn't care where the girl came from, and the girl didn't care about her noisy neighbors. A delicate balance was slowly formed between the two different races.

Since then, life has become ordinary and leisurely again.

At that time, wizards had not established such a highly comprehensive magic school as now. The inheritance of magic was still the mode of parents teaching their children or inviting other wizards to become apprentices.

Loina, who is still a girl, doesn't know where to get the wizard inheritance. The elves only know that he often hides in the house and studies all kinds of magic alone until

"... later, a young human man encountered wind and waves at sea and was pushed onto the beach by the waves with a wooden board in his arms."

When old lac said this, Maka remembered the old notes he found on the desk in a room when he came here last time.

Behind the daily notes used to record the magical biological experiments, I also wrote a lot of essays about daily life. He remembered that from one day on, there was one more name in the above essay, and the more it was mentioned later.

"That young man, is his name Eun?"

Maka pulled out the note from her waist and soon found the name.

"Ah! Yes..." old Lacker said softly, "my grandmother once told me that story. Human love is very beautiful."

He paused, but then recalled, "well... I remember it's called... Eun Ravenclaw?"

"Is it Ravenclaw?" murmured Maka.

According to records, royna Ravenclaw has never been married in her life, but she has a girl Helena with the same surname as Ravenclaw. For this reason, many scholars speculate that loina may have had a short marriage a long time ago.

At present, Maka inadvertently confirmed this long-standing conjecture... Although it doesn't seem to be of great use.

"That man is a long-distance helmsman. Roy namila is very interested in sailing at sea. Later, they went to sea together..." old lac leisurely said, "until many years later, Roy namila came back alone and took a lot of things away..."

The elf lark tells the story of that year one by one, while Maka is thinking about the origin of roina.

For Maka, it is obviously necessary to know royna's life. It's just that time has passed for so long. It's not easy to find out.

Although he had a little speculation in his mind, it was very difficult to prove it. After thinking about it, Maka turned her attention back to the dialogue with the elf lac.

Before long, the topic gradually touched on the main topic of his trip.

"... people from the outside?" the elf elder frowned slightly. "It's amazing to see this happen... However, each ethnic group and even each individual are independent, which comes from the rules of our ancestors and can't be broken casually."

At this point, he shook his head gently.

"Although I feel very sympathetic to the experience of my external peers, since it is a choice made because of defeat, the agreement is an agreement. The elves never unilaterally break the agreement."

"... maybe it's not an agreement, but just forced?" Maka said curiously, "Why are you so sure?"

If Lacker had reacted fiercely to the living conditions of his peers outside, he would not have let the word "coercion" appear here, which would not be good for the purpose of his trip.

But now, the elf lark is not angry at the tragic experience of his family, which makes Maka have to revise the original plan.

"We elves, no matter which branch, are loyal to the agreement." old lac's old voice seemed quite serious at this time. "If we are unwilling to make an agreement, it is useless to force us. We would rather return our soul to nature than suffer humiliation under any coercion."

"Lao lac didn't know what the war was like, but Lao lac was sure that there must be a clear agreement in the end."

According to the story of the elf LAK, there may be other more complicated reasons behind the little recorded war in ancient times.

"... agreement..." Maka frowned and thought, "what kind of agreement do you think should be formed at the end of that ancient war?"

"The old Lacker doesn't know," the elf elder shook his head slightly and slowly said, "but there must be at least one compatriot in the world who still retains the original agreement."

The expression on his wrinkled face was sincere and natural, and his long big ears shook gently, as if he were praying for a belief that Maka could not understand.

"... unlike you humans, we, the elves, engrave the 'agreement' in our soul." Lacker said seriously, "every unfinished agreement will be passed on from generation to generation in the blood of the founder until the day when the agreement is completed."

"So... What did you make the agreement for?"

As soon as Maka's question was answered, he received a puzzled stare from old lac.

"For what?" he said strangely as if he couldn't understand what Maka was saying. "Do you have to have corresponding reasons to make an agreement?"

All right! It turns out that you can make an agreement with people without even a reason? This huge difference in basic concepts makes Maka don't know how to answer.

"Oh, maybe there's something wrong with my statement -" Maka said, "I mean, under what circumstances will you make an agreement with someone?"

"It doesn't matter," old Lacker said naturally. "As long as we want to make an agreement, anything will do."

"Er..." Maka blinked and suddenly said, "well, I -"

"I won't make an agreement with you," old Lacker interrupted Maka in a moment, and calmly said in his surprised expression, "because I feel the intention to take advantage of me in you."

"Ah?"

Maka immediately raised her eyebrows and blinked a little depressed.

He really wanted to take advantage of the situation and put forward a so-called "agreement without reason" to test it, but he didn't think that before he said it, he was rejected by the other party very decisively.

"I haven't heard that elves still have this talent?" Marca said secretly in her heart. "I thought they were a little stupid, but it seems that they still have enough capital to support their stupidity."

Of course, he is well aware of his brain sealing strength. Among wizards, he is basically not afraid to be peeped into his heart. But the elf in front of him could still feel his thoughts.

Even if it was mostly just an unclear sensing talent, it was enough to surprise Maka.

"All right!" Ma Ka, who suffered a little loss for no reason, shrugged. "In that case, let it be... Even if we don't make an agreement, we can still be friends!"

When the plan failed, another idea suddenly came into his mind.
