Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 178: Farewell is a compulsory course for elves

After knowing that Amir defeated Lu Ke, Ms. Luo Yin did not say anything. She just went back to the room, looked at her husband's portrait in silence for a long time, and then went out.

When she came back, Ms. Luo Yin brought back a protective magic armor, an exquisitely crafted sword, and an antique rosewood staff. She gave the first two to Amir and the last one to Luke.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Facing the staff handed over, Luke frowned and shook his head.

The price of a staff has always been very high. The one given by Ms. Luo Yin is of extraordinary quality and will only be more expensive than an ordinary staff. Such a gift is too precious.

"If it weren't for you, Amir might have died on the battlefield long ago out of his passion. Because of you, I didn't worry about him in the past few days." Ms. Luo Yin persuaded softly.

Time has quietly eroded Ms. Luo Yin's body. She has developed diseases common to the elderly, her skin has become loose, and wrinkles have appeared on her forehead and corners of her eyes. Her beautiful appearance is gone, but she is still as gentle as ever.

"After so many years, I have already regarded you as my own child. Why should I refuse something given to you by your elders?"

Lu Ke hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gift and thanked him solemnly.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Ms. Luo Yin gave an elegant smile, just like the dignified and beautiful woman she was twenty years ago, and her voice was light and floating.

"That's right. Compared to the magic you've used to maintain my room for more than ten years, and compared to your companionship with Amir and me, a staff is nothing."

……

On the day Amir left, everyone in the mansion came to see him off.

He was dressed neatly, with the sword prepared for him by Ms. Luo Yin on his waist. He looked very heroic, and his sharp eyes showed both sadness of parting and yearning for the future.

The servants who had taken care of him and Luke since they were young took turns to say goodbye. The usually serious butler also softened his face and gave him instructions on various matters.

Amir hugged them one by one.

After parting with Ms. Royne who was wiping her tears, Amir came to Lanis and Luke.

He placed his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Lanis. "Thank you for your guidance over the years, Teacher Lanis. I am sorry that my magical talent is not outstanding enough and I have not been able to meet your expectations."

His favorite profession is still swordsman, and he still only knows some simple magic. Considering his future military life, he focuses on healing magic and magic that collects moisture in the air and condenses it into water.

"Amir Campbell, although your initial performance did not satisfy me, your subsequent learning attitude is worthy of my status as a disciple."

Lanis solemnly took out a pendant from her bosom and prepared to put it on Amir. However, when she stretched out her hand, she noticed the height difference between them and could only signal him to bend down with her eyes.

Amir held back his laughter and lowered his head, allowing the teacher to put the pendant on him.

"This is the certificate for a C-level magician. It should have been issued by the Mage Association, but I heard that the Mage Association was disbanded a few years ago due to the activities of the Demon King's army, and the new certification organization has not yet been established. This is my past certificate. I am giving it to you now to show my recognition of your academic achievements."

At the end of the farewell, Amir stood in front of this close friend who was both his mentor and friend, grinned, hugged Luke and patted him on the back.

"Should I bring you some local specialties?"

"Just keep your life."

"Can't you just hope for me?"

"Can't expect too much from a fool like you."

Luke said lightly.

He received a heavy pat on the back in response.

bang bang bang-

"Just wait, I'll kill a general of the Demon King's army for you to see!"

Luke raised an eyebrow, his hand glowing with magic, and he slapped Amir's back just as hard.

bang bang bang-

"How come you've figured it out now and don't dream about killing the devil anymore?"

"You should eat your food one bite at a time, as you said."

Amir's face was twisted with pain and he tried to fight back, but Luke pushed him away and he had to give up in disappointment.

"Don't keep my words on your lips all day long." Lu Ke sighed as he looked at his rebellious son.

"Bon Voyage."

Amir smiled and waved, then he jumped on his horse, raising a cloud of dust, and his figure gradually became smaller.

The crowd around gradually dispersed and returned to their respective posts. Only Ms. Luo Yin stood in front of the mansion for a long time until she coughed due to the wind and was then helped back by Lu Ke.

……

It's late at night and the moonlight is just right.

Luke sat on the eaves of the mansion. In front of him was a small mottled table with a pot of wine and two cups on it. This was his and Amir's secret base when they were children.

Little kids always have big dreams of being heroes, and they always think it is a great thing to have a secret base of their own. Luke was so annoyed by him that he just put a table and said that the rooftop was their secret base. Amir was very dissatisfied with such a perfunctory solution, but the next night he happily took Luke to the rooftop and told him how powerful the heroes who defeated the demon king's army were. However, as they grew older, this place was slowly abandoned.

Lu Ke was quietly looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, when he suddenly heard a clear female voice coming from behind him.

"Amir, you seem a little reluctant to let him go?"

Luke moved sideways, and Lanis climbed up the ladder and sat down next to him unceremoniously.

"It's impossible for anything to be devoid of feelings after being raised for twenty years." Luke glanced at Lanis, "Will you be sad if I leave one day?"

Lanis thought about it and answered seriously: "Probably not, because you have never called me mother even once."

"Whose problem do you think this is?"

"Okay, I admit that most of it is my fault." Lanis counted on her fingers, "I didn't teach you common sense, I almost starved you to death when you were born, I was too lazy to ask a monk to treat you when you were sick and I just used healing magic to treat you casually, and I didn't take care of you over the years... But putting aside the facts, don't you have any responsibility?"

Luke was a little amused, "What is my responsibility?"

"I have also reflected on myself and tried to learn how to take care of a child. Who told you to act so mature? You asked Ms. Luo Yin to find a babysitter for you as soon as you could speak. You didn't cry or make a fuss, and you started living on your own when you were only three or five years old."

As she spoke, Lanis sighed. She had just taken a twenty-year childcare course, and her child had grown taller than her.

"You grew up so quickly, and I didn't even get to experience what it was like to be a mother. It's only been twenty years."

"For humans, twenty years is a very long time." Lu Ke's tone was calm but with a hint of melancholy. He was only in his twenties when he was brought here by the dump truck.

"So what are you doing here?"

Lanis picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Do you know why we lived in the cave in the first place?"

Luke shook his head.

"Because elves are not suitable to live with other people." Lanis stretched out her hand towards the bright moonlight. Such tender hands like green onions can only appear in the hands of a woman in her best years.

"Human life is too short, like a shooting star across the sky. It is a sad thing to build up feelings with them. Sometimes, you are just tripped by something, and sometimes you just stop and stay for a moment in a certain place. When you come to your senses, they are no longer in this world."

Lanis looked at Luke, "What I want to teach you today is separation."

“You should face all those who leave calmly, and accept that old people keep leaving your life and new people keep coming in.”

Lanis smiled and said, "Other elves don't need to be mentioned specifically, but you seem to have more emotions than other elves."

"I don't think it's a bad thing. Besides, I will probably become like other elves slowly." Luke answered nonchalantly, raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, looking at the moon, "Time will give the answer."

"You're right. Time will give the answer." Lanis put down her wine glass and left the roof.

……

Life went on as usual, and Luke spent more of his daily time on magic. His research on whether magic could change matter reached a bottleneck.

He had been able to turn mud into water earlier, but the steps to do so were rather complicated and it could only be considered a toy. It was fine for dealing with weak enemies like Amir, but it was far from enough for playing in high-end games.

First, imagine the soil as brown sugar, then from brown sugar to brown sugar water, and finally to clear water.

There are two research plans, one is to compress the imagination time, the other is to reduce the steps and complete them in one step. The former requires stronger mental strength and magic, and the latter is more difficult and requires changing one's own cognition. It is difficult to achieve if wrong common sense is not cultivated since childhood.

When he asked Lanis for help, she naturally said that both plans could be completed by wasting time. Lu Ke could only hold his forehead and leave, thinking that it was stupid to ask her for help and he had to find another famous teacher.

The peaceful life was broken after more than a month.

That day, Luke was practicing magic when he was suddenly told to change into formal clothes and go to meet Ms. Luo Yin. He didn't think much about it. After changing his clothes, he walked into the main hall. As a result, he saw a noble lady wearing a beautiful dress and with exquisite and beautiful appearance.

Seeing him come in, the noble lady blushed and looked shy.

"Hello, I'm Trela from the Grey Family in the Royal City."

Luke: "..."

I didn’t expect that after being reborn in a different world, I would be urged to get married.

"Ms. Trela, please forgive my bluntness." Luke bowed slightly, "But we are really not suitable."

Trela blinked, looked at Luke's face and handsome figure, and shook her head repeatedly, "No, I think we are a perfect match."

Luke pointed to his ears and said, "Do you know who I am? I am an elf."

"I know."

Her eyes moved down to Luke's pointed ears and her face turned even redder.

I remember reading some stories in which the elves' ears were very sensitive, and they would...

"Elves don't grow old. I can't be with you until old age. Even if you are gray-haired, I will still look like this. Do you understand?"

Trela's eyes lit up. "Isn't that better?"
