Chapter 373: Chapter 366: Reliving the Past

"How do you know it won’t work if you haven’t tried," Feliz looked at him and then said, "My study of magic is never destined to be successful, but if I study Earth’s... science, who knows, I might achieve something."

"Since you already said that, then why worry about your family’s attitude? Why not just do it?" Luo’er persuaded.

"Are you suggesting I run away from home?" Feliz looked at him and asked.

"That’s not what I meant..." Luo’er started, sighed deeply, then continued a bit gloomily, "Well, my grandfather was always against me coming here. But I came anyway, even though he had once begged me desperately not to."

"Why did your grandfather object to you coming here?" Feliz asked, looking at him.

"Because my father died here, from Magic Power Erosion!" Luo’er said casually.

"Your father is?" Feliz frowned, asking hesitantly.

"My father was an Earthling. He stayed here for a few years and ended up suffering from Magic Power Erosion..." Luo’er explained tersely.

"Then why are you here?" Feliz asked, puzzled.

"I’m here to find my mother." Luo’er finally opened his heart to Feliz.

"Your mother is... a Wood Elf?" Feliz asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Luo’er nodded.

"Did she abandon you?" Feliz looked away as she asked. Because she knew that the Wood Elf Kingdom of Ilanadale does not allow half-elves. Those elves that have half-elf children can only return to the kingdom if they abandon their children.

"No," Luo’er explained, "She didn’t want me to suffer in this world, so she had my father take me back to Earth."

"Ah," Feliz nodded in understanding. Although she didn’t know exactly what life was like on Earth, she knew that if Luo’er had grown up here, he wouldn’t have achieved what he has today."

"So you see," Luo’er’s face lit up again, "take advantage of your youth and do what you want. Time will allow your parents to forgive your rebellion."

"Why are you so enthusiastic about encouraging me to go to Earth? Do you have some ulterior motive?" Feliz looked at him with a half-joking, half-serious expression.

"What do you mean by that? How could I have ulterior motives? I’m purely doing this for your own good." Luo’er felt a bit overwhelmed under her gaze.

"Never mind, after all, there are two girls who like you." Feliz smiled a little without further questioning.

"By the way, you look good in that outfit!" Feliz looked him up and down before laughing.

"Please stop praising my outfit, it doesn’t make me happy at all!" Luo’er pulled at the hem of his dress instinctively.

"Where are Audrey and the others?" Feliz asked.

"They’ve gone to class." Luo’er replied.

"Aren’t you going?" Feliz asked.

"Lack of ability." Luo’er replied. He thought for a moment and decided not to reveal his illness to Feliz.

"Luo’er, do you still remember this place?" Feliz looked around and asked.

"Of course," Luo’er nodded and said, "you attacked me with magic here."

"That’s all you remember?" Feliz’s face changed, and she puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"And then you twisted your ankle." Seeing her upset, Luo’er quickly added.

"Anything else?" Feliz asked.

"Er... And then I carried you back to the dormitory building." Luo’er said hesitantly.

"Hmm," Feliz nodded, then got up on the bench and stretched out her hand, "Come on, carry me back, I’ve twisted my ankle."

"I’m not blind." Luo’er refused.

"But I’m limping!" Feliz claimed confidently.

"Alright then..." Luo’er shook his head helplessly, always unable to refuse others’ requests.

He bent over, allowing Feliz to climb onto his back. Then, with Feliz on his back, he slowly walked towards the dormitory.

"Luo’er..." On the way, Feliz suddenly thought of something and started to ask.

"Hmm?" Luo’er responded.

"As a half-elf, you should live a long time, right?" Feliz asked.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Luo’er asked.

"Just answer!" Feliz demanded.

"I suppose so; those researchers told me that the lifespan of a half-elf is just a bit shorter than that of an elf. Living for four to five hundred years shouldn’t be a problem." Luo’er pondered and replied.

"I see..." Feliz nodded, not continuing to ask, but instead clutching at his clothes tightly.

Luo’er knew what she meant by her question and also knew what she was thinking. So he didn’t take the initiative to ask. Both sides remained silently in agreement.

Arriving at the dormitory building, Luo’er put Feliz down and said, "Alright, here we are."

"You still dumped me downstairs." Feliz muttered in displeasure.

"That’s a female dormitory, what am I supposed to do going in with you!" Luo’er said, frustrated.

"Aren’t you a girl now?" Feliz looked him up and down.

"I’m not pleased by your saying that." Luo’er retorted.

"Alright, I should leave here, I have to go up!" Feliz was about to turn and leave.

"Goodbye!" Luo’er nodded and didn’t continue to ask about her plans. It’s better to let her think about such matters, after all, running away from home is not something that should be encouraged.

Watching Feliz leave, Luo’er suddenly felt a chill on his back, instinctively turning around to find Tangmo standing behind him, gazing at him.

"You seemed upset the last time this happened." Luo’er spoke nervously.

"Not this time..." Tangmo lowered her eyelids and replied calmly, "I told you, I won’t get mad at you anymore."

"Nothing happened between her and me, ehm... I just carried her back here." Luo’er explained guiltily.

"I know..."

"Are you mad?"

"No!" Tangmo shook her head.

"Don’t be upset, sister Audrey..." Luo’er took a step forward and grabbed her hand, pretending to be cute.

Tangmo looked at him, silent for a while, then finally a relieved expression appeared on her face. She reached out to touch Luo’er’s hair, as if she had regained control.

Was Luo’er fickle? Not necessarily. But even if he was, whoever accompanies him to the end is the only one that matters.

She, as a dwarf hybrid, and the dwarves being a subspecies of elves, has a life as long as Luo’er’s. In the end, she is the only one who can accompany him till old age.

As for Shariya, he was busy with a pile of tasks from the academy. Moreover, due to his connection with the Advance Team, the Church Court assigned him the task to collaborate with them. According to the information from Luo’er and his team, he also found new clues in the academy’s kidnapping case.

At this point, he was so busy it was almost unbearable. Living for more than half of his life, he never thought that as a great mage, he would be doing tasks for Earthlings one day.

For the sake of convenience and to demonstrate his commitment, he even shaved off his cherished full beard, throwing himself wholeheartedly into his work.

Currently, the Church Court was conducting a comprehensive investigation on Fu’en’s whereabouts. As long as they found traces of him, they will do anything to catch him, then hand him over to the Advance Team.

The policy they adopted last time, of ignoring everything and only providing intelligence, almost led to the termination of both sides’ collaboration due to Fu’en’s retaliation. Therefore, the person responsible for this was scolded from top to bottom and asked to take remedial measures immediately.

The advance team was now safe inside the academy. Although this place also belonged to the Uptown District like the Church Court, it was very difficult for secular authorities to get involved.

However, they could not guarantee that small mice would slip in, just like last time. So the Advance Team should be careful in the academy to prevent spying from the shadows.

"Dean, the file on this Xiluo is blank, even the school register does not have his name. It’s as if he appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps the files room might have information on him, but it has already been burned down..." An assistant stood in front of Shariya, speaking respectfully.

"I see..." Shariya nodded, speaking indifferently.

Just as he expected, Xiluo’s file was blank. If they were able to find any details about him, it would be suspicious. He was originally skeptical about Luo’er’s words, but the investigation results confirmed his suspicion.

This person called Xiluo indeed had a problem. Therefore, someone destroyed all his identification information, fearing that his exposure would implicate the people behind him.

Maybe the academy kidnapping case, like Luo’er said, was a show directed and acted by the Aud people. He just didn’t understand their intentions yet. If it was merely to sow discord between the Church Court and Earth’s countries, it seemed a bit too rash.

"Let’s put this aside for now, have you found Fu’en?" Shariya asked, frowning.

"Uh...We are still looking. Witnesses have reported seeing Fu’en entering Holy Heart City, but we aren’t sure which district he is in now." The assistant answered truthfully.

"Step up and find him as soon as possible. The Pope personally ordered us to find Fu’en and bring him to these Earthlings, we can’t delay on this matter." Shariya said, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Understood. If it really doesn’t work, why don’t we ask the city defense force to assist in the search?" The assistant suggested.

"We can’t let the city defense forces get involved, these people are not loyal to the Church Court, they will mess things up." Shariya waved his hand in refusal.

"I understand!" The assistant nodded.

"Try to maintain a distance from the secular authority, don’t have any contact with them. I always feel that these people are up to no good, they seem to be getting restless." Shariya thought for a moment and continued to instruct.

"I understand!" The assistant nodded.

"If nothing else, you can leave now. As soon as you find Fu’en, grab him and bring him to the academy!" Shariya commanded.

"Yes!"
