Dark city

5. Parting

Little Richard slept for seven days, and only opened his eyes when the sun shone into the bedroom on the seventh day. The first thing he did when he woke up was to rush out of the bedroom and look for his mother all over the floor. When he saw his mother in the study, Richard immediately pounced on him, shouting, "Mom, guess what I got in the temple of the goddess of the moon?"

Elani turned around, gently touched Richard's head, and asked, "Let Mom guess, my Richard has always wanted to be a magician, so you must have gotten 'elemental affinity', didn't you?"

Richard froze suddenly, because it was a woman he had never seen before. However, he had his own way of identifying it, sniffed hard, and smelled an extremely familiar and friendly smell, so he asked hesitantly, "Are you ...... Mom? "

"My Richard, that's what Mom looks like. Is mom good-looking?" Illani asked, smiling.

Little Richard nodded vigorously and said, "Mom is the best-looking!" In his mind, his mother was originally the most beautiful woman. What's more, now that Ilani has regained her original appearance? The beautiful appearance of the Silver Moon Elves is as famous as their magic and magic.

A boy's patience is always limited, and the boy's patience does not increase much, so little Richard did not wait for Illani to guess twice, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I have gained wisdom and truth!"

"Real?" Ilani was amazed, she knew the wisdom, but she had never heard of such a real ability in enlightenment.

Little Richard frowned, trying to explain with his newfound wisdom: "The truth is...... Well, the ability to understand the world more clearly. It seems to be improving, but it's not very useful now, it just allows me to see farther and hear better. "

Illani snorted, put her arm around Richard's shoulder, and told him to cherish the abilities he had gained from enlightenment, and to remember what she had taught him. Her instructions were a little long-winded, and it took more than an hour to finish, and many words were repeated repeatedly, so that little Richard was secretly grimacing in protest. Little Richard was originally very smart, with an excellent memory, and improved his intelligence, and many things didn't need to be said twice.

Eventeny finally realized that she was too verbose, so she smiled and asked, "My Richard, would you like to see your father?"

Richard frowned hard, trying to think, but couldn't think of an answer. Before he could think clearly, Elani said, "You will soon be able to see your father, and the men he sent should be almost there, and they will take you to him." You have to be obedient on the road, you know? "

"Huh?" This was very unexpected news, Richard didn't know how to react at all, just nodded in confusion, and then remembered one thing and asked, "What about Mom, are you going with me too?"

"No, mom won't go."

"Then I'm not going either!" Richard said resolutely.

Ilani smiled and said, "My Richard, you need to go, because Mommy has another wish that you need to help fulfill!"

Richard straightened his chest: "Mom, don't worry! I've grown up and will definitely do it! Oh, what is the wish? "

Ilani looked at Richard deeply and said slowly: "If one day in the future, my Richard becomes a real big man, then bury me in your father's family cemetery, the highest level!"

Little Richard nodded vigorously. At this time, he did not understand the true meaning behind this wish and the difficulty of realizing it. But even if he knew, he wouldn't back down. The boys in the mountains are never short of courage.

The morning in Russelland had always been quiet and peaceful, but this morning was shattered. At first, the ground of the entire village began to shake inexplicably, and then the shaking turned into violent shaking. Even the most sluggish old man sensed that something was wrong, so he stepped out of the house and looked at the end of the road outside the village.
