Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After arriving at the elder's home, Lu Ren observed the house carefully. It was much smaller than it would be a thousand years later, and it was also more frugal. Only the elder and his wife lived in the house, and there were no Children and the like.

"Elder, do you have no children?"

Lu Ren asked subconsciously. She remembered that the Modica elder a thousand years later should be his son, right?

"Well……"

Perhaps this question was a bit rude, the elder thought for a while and decided to talk to Lu Ren.

"You also know that the fertility of our elves is very poor. I am over six hundred years old now, and I still haven't given birth to a child. I wonder if you have any magic that can be used in this regard?"

Lu Ren was speechless when she heard this unexpected question. There were so many magics in the world, maybe they really existed, but she didn't want to know about them.

"Actually, I have even thought about the names of the children. If the boy is named Modica, the girl will be named Modina. What do you think?"

"Isn't this great?"

Lu Ren echoed the elder, and she thought of Modica's age. After a thousand years, he would only be over 600 years old, which meant that it would take at least three hundred years for this elder to have a son.

Keep up the good work. Lu Ren thought silently in his heart.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

After chatting to lighten the atmosphere, the elder and Lu Ren came to the balcony on the second floor, where they could have a panoramic view of everyone in the village.

The elder kept looking at the devastated land. He held the broken scepter in his hand and said to Lu Ren.

"My people are ordinary people. Most of them don't even know the most basic magic. They have no way to deal with such a disaster. This may be a bit inappropriate to say, but I hope you can help my people. , to protect them from evil.”

The elder solemnly requested Lu Ren. His originally straight waist was now stooped, just like his face, as if an old man was explaining his funeral to others.

Lu Ren somewhat guessed what the elder meant, and was not particularly surprised at the moment. She recalled the barrier that surrounded the village a thousand years later. No wonder she was so familiar with it. It turned out to be her own release.

"Let's do this. I can release a magic barrier around the village to protect you from the outside world. As long as you supply magic power to the barrier every year, I can always protect you."

"Really? Thank you very much, but I have one more thing to ask of you."

"what?"

The elder's expression was very solemn at this time. He slowly sat on the armchair on the side. Seeing this, Lu Ren also sat aside, waiting for the elder's request.

"You also saw that the guardian of our village, Ian, died in this disaster today, and Vera is still young, so I hope you can temporarily serve as the guardian of the village?"

It turns out that this is the case. It’s no wonder that in their village, the strongest person in the village has always been the guardian to protect everyone, and the Vera family has been the guardian for several generations. If Vera grows up, , with her magic, she should be more powerful than previous generations of guardians, but she is still too weak now.

"I think Vera can do the job. I'm teaching her magic. She will definitely become the strongest guardian in the history of the village."

"But now she..."

"It doesn't matter. As her teacher, I will also help her."

This is equivalent to saying that Lu Ren will be responsible for the security of the village until Vera grows up. This is consistent with the elder's idea, so he readily agreed.

"In that case, I'll spare you the trouble."

"It doesn't matter. I have lived in the village for so long, and I should do something for the village."

Having said that, Lu Ren decided to be a good person and stick to it. She pointed to the elder's broken wooden staff.

"If you don't mind, I can help transform your scepter. According to my observation, you rely almost entirely on that scepter to release magic, right? Now that the scepter is destroyed, you can't release magic, right?"

"Yes, can you help me fix this wand? It is made of a mysterious spiritual tree."

"I can't say it's repairable, but I can give it a makeover."

After listening to Lu Ren's words, the elder handed the wand to her with some hesitation. This was an heirloom of their family, but it was damaged now, so he might as well give it to Lu Ren to try.

Lu Ren took out a large piece of phyllosite. Recalling the wand a thousand years later, Lu Ren used magic to make the wooden wand actively wrap around the phyllosite.

"Well, all right."

After doing it, Lu Ren returned the wand to the elder, and the elder was surprised that Lu Ren had it done so quickly? He only saw Lu Ren holding a green ore and fusing it with the wand.

"This is……"

Facing the elder's confusion, Lu Ren proudly began to boast.

"I combined your wand with the leaf pyroxene and attached many small magics to it so that you can cast spells quickly. Moreover, I spent a lot of money to buy this leaf pyroxene. I have It has high-quality magic power transmission and preservation capabilities. The key is that it is relatively hard and can be used as a blunt instrument at critical moments."

After listening to Lu Ren's introduction, the elder poured his own magic power into it. As expected, he found that the wand at this time was much easier to use than the previous one, and there was indeed some stored magic in it. As long as he used his magic power to mobilize it, he would be able to use it in an instant. Release, what a convenient and powerful wand.

"Oh my, my, how should I thank you..."

"It's okay, it's just a little effort."

Lu Ren waved her hand to show that she didn't need the other person's thanks. Lu Ren was very happy when she heard others appreciate and praise her. She enjoyed this feeling very much.

"By the way, it takes a lot of magic to cast a barrier that covers the entire village, but I have consumed a lot of magic today, so I can only start after a while."

"No problem, then go back and have a good rest."

"Okay, see you then."

After saying goodbye to the elder, Lu Ren quickly returned to Vera's house, not knowing how Vera was doing now.

"Vera?"

As soon as he entered the house, the room was completely dark. Rivera's mother would probably light a lamp on weekdays, and there was no one seen on the first floor.

Lu Ren came to Vera's room on the second floor, knocked lightly on the door, and tried to call Vera's name.

"……elder sister?"

Finally, Vera's voice came from the room.

"Um, can I come in?"

"……Um."

Lu Ren gently pushed open the door, and the squeaking sound made by the door seemed particularly loud in this silent situation.

"Well, where is your mother?"

Closing the door softly, Lu Ren found that Vera was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face, so Lu Ren slowly came to Vera and sat down next to her.

"My mother... fell asleep..."

"That's it..."

After hearing the news of her husband's death, this poor lady must have suffered a great blow.

"Vera, I'm sorry, if I could have found out sooner."

"This is not your fault, sister, it's all because of me... If I had listened to you and not gone there, if I could have been stronger. Daddy, he wouldn't have died because of me..."

Vera's voice choked up again. Seeing this, Lu Ren quickly hugged Vera and buried her head in his arms, hoping that this would make her feel better.

"..."

Lu Ren didn't know how to comfort Vera at this time. After all, she was really not very good at comforting others. She would easily say the wrong thing if she talked too much, so now she could only say nothing and quietly touch Vera's head. to comfort her.

There is silence now, only Vera's subtle sobbing sounds, which are unwilling to accept her own strength and regret for her actions. At this moment, Vera hopes that she can be as powerful as Lu Ren, so that her father will not die.

Vera also hugged Lu Ren's body that was even petite than hers, and Lu Ren kept comforting Vera. Although she didn't say a word, Vera still sobbed softly in her arms, and then To burst into tears.

Until after midnight, Vera finished crying and fell asleep with red eyes. Lu Ren did not let go of Vera at this time, but lay down gently and fell asleep with Vera.

The two girls hugged each other like this, maybe this could bring them a little sense of peace of mind. They slept deeply tonight, and they didn't wake up until noon the next day.
