Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

So the girl ran over quickly, stretched out her hands and hugged him, holding him tightly, afraid that if she let go she would never be able to touch him again.

She used so much force that the white elm was almost squeezed out of several gray mists.

He reached out and stroked Elise's hair.

For him, it was only a day or two since the two sides had not seen each other.

But for Elyse, nearly ten years have passed.

In fact, the two parties should be somewhat unfamiliar with each other.

It was normal for Bai Yu to think this way. Although this was the second time the two parties met, they had only spent less than a day together. Even if there was a favor between them, it shouldn't be so deep.

And he knew very well that his favor to Elise was not that great.

Whether she intervened or not, she would be rescued by the Gorgon sisters, and at most she would suffer some hardship.

And that experience will shape Elyse into a stronger one.

Or perhaps it was because she had interfered with the past that Elise no longer had such a strong spirit and lacked crucial experiences, making her not as strong as the Gorgon before the weaving of fate began.

Or maybe, was it because she regarded the promise of goodbye as a promise that must be fulfilled, and even regarded herself, the only one who had taken care of her, as her spiritual support?

If that's the case...

I think she has had a very hard life these years.

To the point that I have to rely on the good things in the past to keep going.

It is precisely because I have lost everything that I recall from my memory the promise I made with the man I only met once and regard it as a treasure.

The current situation was not what Bai Yu had originally intended. He would rather the other party regarded him as a friend they hadn't seen for a long time, rather than this attitude.

Such a dependent attitude is not conducive to her own growth.

Even Amamiya Mahiru, who had been together the longest, did not dare to hug her the second time they met.

He stroked the girl's hair and patted her back gently, signaling her to calm down.

I'm right here, not going anywhere.

Elise gently loosened her hands. This long-lost feeling of reliance made her feel relaxed, like a tight rope being loosened. She even felt a little weak and her body unconsciously knelt on the ground.

She tried to move, but she had no strength.

Or maybe it was just an instinctive reluctance to move.

She said weakly, "Sorry, I'm a little... exhausted."

"You really should sit down and rest for a while." Bai Yu looked around and helped her up, but she really didn't even have the strength to walk, so he could only put his right hand around her arm and pick her up.

Elise's eyes flickered slightly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Uncle held me like this on the snowy plains, right?" Elyse whispered, "Although I don't remember it, I think it was like this."

"Yes, you were a little girl then, very light and thin." The young man remembered it clearly, it happened not long ago: "Now you are a grown-up girl."

Placing the girl on the bench, Bai Yu lamented that the power of time could really change everything: "You've grown up, Elyse."

Elyse chewed on the emotion in this sentence, but didn't feel much more. It was like an exclamation when old friends say goodbye, without much heaviness or profound meaning.

She turned to look at the young man and whispered, "Uncle, you haven't changed at all."

Bai Yu said in an enigmatic manner, "Time doesn't mean much to me, whether I'm going downstream or upstream."

He raised his hand, casually produced a bottle of water, and handed it to Elyse.

"Drink some, it can restore your strength."

Elise opened her eyes and then her mouth, indicating that she could be fed.

Bai Yu looked helpless: "You are already a grown-up girl, so stop acting like a spoiled child."

Elyse's cheeks flushed slightly. She was not brave enough to give it a try. She picked up the water bottle, took a sip, and then felt her fatigue disappearing quickly.

Fatigue potion, the favorite of poisonous milk powder warriors.

"It's amazing..." Elyse stroked the bottle, "I feel like my fatigue has disappeared."

She raised her lavender eyes, looked at Bai Yu curiously, and stroked the wall of the bottle with her fingers.

As the promise was fulfilled and the touching emotions of the encounter were gradually digested, one problem after another followed.

She was a smart girl and had obviously realized that Bai Yu's identity was not simple and everything about him was a mystery.

Mysterious appearance, mysterious disappearance, including the magic book given to me, and this bottle of potion that can drive away fatigue...

"I know you must have a lot of questions." Bai Yu spoke without waiting for her to ask, "I can slowly tell you about this. Just like we promised you, I will tell you who I am, where I come from, and what I want to do."

Elysee immediately sat down gracefully and listened attentively.

She received instruction from her sister, which was the only education she received from her relatives.

Bai Yu placed his hands on his knees and introduced himself in a casual tone: "In short, my name is 'Fate Editor', and I am a person who can... well, rewrite fate."

"Over the course of time, I will select certain people who are destined to be with me and help them rewrite their destinies."

Elyse caught the key word: "Fate...?"

She raised her eyes and asked without wavering, "So, you know what my fate will be?"

"Yes, you will die, and die in the hands of your best friend for revenge." Bai Yu directly turned on the spoiler mode, but he only knew the ending.

"Was it fate that I encountered a slave-hunting group when I was a child?"

"Not bad." Bai Yu nodded.

Elise suddenly realized: "That's why my uncle found me in the snowy plains, saved me, and kept me in the village... because it was destined to happen."

"Fate is very delicate, but sometimes it can be very stubborn," Bai Yu said. "I can save you from the slave-hunting group and prevent you from suffering further disasters, but I cannot easily change your fundamental fate, otherwise everything will cease to exist."

Elysee gazed at the young man with clear eyes and whispered, "So, are you apologizing to me? Apologizing to me because you're worried that I'll blame you for not saving my mother?"

Bai Yu smiled: "You are very perceptive."

If there was a way to change it, he would definitely try, but unfortunately his current strength does not allow it. He cannot shake the fate and cause and effect involving the essence of the Gorgon's existence, otherwise his fate will be completely distorted.

Elise also smiled. Her smile was very cute and relieved.

“I never thought of it that way.”

"Uncle is a good man. The fault lies with those bad guys, not uncle."

"You feel guilty about this. You are indeed a kind and gentle person."

She leaned lightly on his shoulder and whispered, "It's exactly what I thought..."

Now she feels at ease.

No matter how mysterious it is, whether it is deliberately concealed, or has other purposes, she doesn't really care about it.

Let her lie and hide it, she really needs someone to support her broken heart, share the secret that is about to crush her, and motivate her to achieve the goal of revenge.

For this, she can do anything.

No matter if the opponent is the composer of fate or the devil Satan, as long as she can get what she wants by offering herself, she will not hesitate.

Bai Yu continued the conversation, "In the future, I will continue to monitor your progress. You can also do what you want at your own pace, whether it's attending classes or searching for banned books... The only difference is that we need to explore the same area."

"Area?" Elyse asked curiously, "Is it hell?"

"Very similar." Bai Yu nodded: "You will understand it later."

He paused for a second, hesitating whether he should reveal the news that 'we have another companion'.

He always felt that now was not the time to mention this matter, or he should leave it for later, since Amamiya Mahiru already knew about it anyway.

While he was thinking, his figure became illusory for a second, and gradually turned into gray mist from the left side.

"It seems my time is up." Bai Yu looked at the fading palm.

"Are you leaving now?" Elise immediately became nervous. She tried to grab the other person, but her palm only touched a void of gray mist.

"Although I still have something to say, I should leave now. I can't stay in this space and time for too long. It will be troublesome if I get noticed." Bai Yu stroked her long night-colored hair: "Don't worry, we will see each other again soon."

"But, but..." She pursed her lips, her eyes full of reluctance.

It's like a kitten caught in the rain under the eaves. It was just brought back and hadn't enjoyed the warmth for a few seconds, but the next moment it found itself thrown back into the rain.

The kitten's meow is weak and cute.

You are not a kitten anymore, you have grown up.

But sooner or later, the Gorgon Witch will step into the fifth level and become a strong person who can compete with the heroic bloodline.

When you become strong, I will still rely on you in the future.

Bai Yu was helpless against this kind of affectionate look. He had to admit that his love was too excessive, although not as outrageous as that of the Great Love Immortal.

He could only repeat his promise, but even that couldn't dispel the uneasiness in her eyes.

So after hesitating for a moment, just before disappearing, he gently hugged the girl and turned into gray mist and dissipated.

Elise sat on the bench and slowly embraced a ball of air. The residual touch was still there, and she felt like she was embracing the blue sky and sunshine.

I closed my eyes and felt it for a while, then opened them again.

The uneasiness in his eyes seemed to have never existed from the beginning.

Bai Yu was not mistaken. She was not a kitten caught in the rain, but a changeable snake.

Necessary performances are also needed. In order to keep him for one more second and feel her coquettishness for a while longer, she doesn't mind using some cunning tricks.

This is also thanks to her two good roommates who provided many live demonstrations and taught by example.

Elise stood up, her eyes became firm again, she took a deep breath, and smiled lightly.

"What a nice weather today—"
