She Is Not a Witch Chapter 76: Elf Sage
"At present, except for a small number of members of the Sage Association, they have joined in the past five years. In addition, because of the outbreak and subsidence of the disaster ten years ago, the members of the Sage Association today are not As much as in the past...."
Under the introduction of this elf woman, Lorraine Hill has a general understanding of some recent developments.
Because the Sun Crown quelled the vortex of chaos, there is no longer a need for a large number of personnel to guard in various places, and the demand for personnel is much less. In addition, because of the rebellion within the Sages Association last time, the trust of all ethnic groups in the Sages Association has been reduced. As a result, funding and other support have decreased a lot.
It can be said that the strength of the Sage Association has shrunk a lot now, and it is difficult to restrict the witches like in the past. In order to balance, we have to send invitation letters widely, hoping to gather more power into the Sage Association. .
"For the stability and future of the Ivar world, it is necessary to unite the power of all people." She said so. It can be seen that this elf woman has a high degree of agreement with this ideal.
But this is not the case for the other two sages beside me. One of them is from the empire and was the marshal of the former empire. Although he looks only 40-50 years old, he is actually over a hundred years old. The first time he set foot on the battlefield was more than 40 years ago. After retiring from the army, he joined the Sage Association. It is also a rare member of the Sage Association from the past.
Another old man with white hair and a long beard is even older, nearly 200 years old. He is a sage who experienced the "Battle of the Broken Bow" in the previous generation. He is famous for his research on ancient history. Although his strength is mediocre, he has a high reputation in the Sage Association.
The two sages nodded to Lorraine Hill's arrival, and then continued to remain silent. It seemed that they neither welcomed nor hated them. It's not so much that they don't like Lorraine Hill, it's better to say that they keep a respectful distance from the group of witches.
'Although they were once human beings, they are no longer human beings after all. ’ This is the motto left by a certain elder of the Sage Society in the past.
Compared to humans with a limited lifespan, the strange qualities of witches will eventually lead them to a completely different path.
After some conversation, Lorraine Hill became acquainted with the three of them briefly. Not long after, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
"Want to go eat something together?" The elf sage came slowly, the small bells on the blue hair collided with each other, with a light rhythm.
"Okay." The girl nodded, and she didn't really hate it.
"Then come with me." Seeing that Lorraine Hill agreed, she smiled a little happily.
The two walked in the white corridor of the High Tower Academy. Along the way, they could see the vast mountains outside and the central school building at the edge.
"Lorraine Hill has also stayed in the academy for a while, in fact, I only recently learned about your identity." The elf woman walked ahead with a book in her arms, turning her head to talk from time to time.
"Well, I was quite curious at the time, because I'm not a witch who has existed for a long time." Lorraine Hill nodded, and stroked the white stone pillars on the side of the corridor with his fingers.
"It's a great honor, but unfortunately I used to teach at the High Tower Academy, so I haven't met you."
"It feels like talking to you is similar to other sages." She sighed and said a few words with a happy expression.
"What will the other witches do?" Lorraine Hill turned her cheek curiously.
"Their words seem to be covered with an impenetrable fog. It is difficult to use ordinary people's thinking to guess what they are pursuing and thinking." The elf sage shook his head, seeming very distressed.
After the two walked for a while, the elf sage suddenly asked.
"Do you know the original history of the Sages?"
"I've heard a little bit about this, it should be the union of heroes."
"That's right, the first members of the Sage Society were heroes who led people to resist chaos in the disaster thousands of years ago."
"They come from various races in various places. In the dark age when the country collapsed and order did not exist, they led people from all over the world to survive the crazy erosion. Finally, they united together and defeated the doomsday with the assistance of the angels. disaster."
"From then on, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading again, the Sage Society was established and a college was established in Emenas."
"And most of the descendants of those heroes became the founders of various countries after the disaster. It can be said that at the beginning of the third era, there are all kinds of countries, big and small, that are inextricably linked to sages."
"That's right. At that time, the sages will have incomparable power, whether it is prestige, righteousness, or overall strength. It is also from then on that mortals began to appear on the world stage. The influence of witches was greatly suppressed."
"It was also at that time that the newborn witch was no longer raised by the previous witches, but was raised by members of the Sage Society."
"This later also paved the way for the division of the witches in the country of Oz. As a result, the witches who experienced pain later no longer trusted the Sages, and gradually drifted away from the world. And our Sages also Slowly losing the understanding of the witches of the past, whether they still exist in the world, and what their status is now."
"I have to say, this is a sad thing."
"The two most powerful forces in the world seem to be at odds."
"The sages are mortals after all. Under the baptism of time, they have been replaced from generation to generation. The latecomers gradually no longer understand the power and influence of the chaos disaster, but they are curious about that power."
"If a few decades ago, there were still many witches in the Sages' Society, they wouldn't let some deviant thoughts spread wantonly."
"Perhaps." The girl nodded at this, but shook her head again.
“But it is difficult for people to believe and accept experiences that they have not experienced themselves.”
The only lesson history teaches man is that he never learns any lessons from history.
This sentence is definitely biased, but it also reveals the nature of creatures very well. If you have never experienced the pain yourself, you will probably not understand how heavy the pain is.
Humans question authority, challenge rules, break everything, and believe that they are unique existences. This is the ignorance of life and the vitality of life, which is so charming and crazy.
"It's here."
During the conversation between the two, they also arrived at a restaurant in the High Tower Academy. It has a white curved dome, and the clear spring of melting snow flows down from one side of the main hall~IndoMTL.com~Beside the dining table is a very tall window, surrounded by green vines on both sides, and unknown white flowers bloom on it .
There were not many people in the restaurant in the afternoon, only a small number of students were dining here. They wore black robes with fringes and talked softly. Occasionally, the sound of porcelain plates, knives and forks colliding could be heard in the empty hall.
"Two servings of avocado barbecue, both with red pomelo sparkling juice." The elf sage also ordered the one from Lorraine Hill.
"Okay, wait a minute." The staff member made a note, nodded, and began to prepare.
"Let's sit down first, actually, I want to talk to you for a while." The elf sage sat down.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself well."
"My name is Vestena, a forest elf, one of the fifteen seats in the Emerald Court, and also the representative of the forest elves in the Sage Council."
"Nice to meet you, Great Sage of Crancia, Unfallen Star, Witch of Eternal Wind, Lorraine Hill."
