Chapter 429: Feeling Reluctant (4)

But since they have successively annexed two countries that are no less important than their own, coupled with years of war, the whole country seems to have some indigestion.

Even though they still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, they still seem to be unable to cope with the Freedom Alliance troops stationed in the central mountains with complex terrain.

And when fighting in the mountains, the presence of the Winged Elf scouts of the Free Alliance prevented the Phylicians from using many tricks.

In the end, after the two sides were locked in a stalemate in the Central Mountains for several months, the then commander, the Thunder Emperor Bohemia, resolutely decided to give up his plan to attack the Freedom Alliance and turned his attention back to the occupied areas, intending to consolidate the rear first before making further plans.

However, although the Phylician Empire stopped its large-scale offensive, it did not mean that the war had temporarily entered a truce period. On the contrary, during this period, the Phylician Empire continued to send elite teams into the mountains to attack the Allied fortresses deployed there.

, supply lines, etc. to destroy.

It also gave the Freedom Alliance an unusual headache for a while.

At this moment, Bogosi's rebels naturally took on the responsibility of clearing out the Felician team lurking in the mountains. Although the Felician Empire's lurking squads were quite elite, when they actually faced this group of mercenaries,

When the Kingdom led the team to eliminate them, they were immediately like mice encountering a snake, with no chance to resist.

In this, Ellie's magic, which can almost be described as violent, played a crucial role.

Although the Phylicians had already ambushed this team, and also targeted Ellie, who could almost be said to have played a massacre role in the battle, the result remained unchanged.

Ellie is always surrounded by the wind elf Sylph, so Felicia's crossbows have no chance to get close. Once their position is exposed, what awaits them is an overwhelming magical attack with little regard for the consequences. In the end,

The result is often that the Felicia team makes a sneak attack, and it is almost difficult to find even the whole body.

After several confrontations, considering that the losses were too great, Felicia finally gave up harassing the Free Alliance troops stationed in the Central Mountains. This also allowed the war-torn continent to temporarily gain peace for a few months.

However, due to Ellie's overly brutal methods in battle, many Allied soldiers were frightened. Coupled with her always cold expression, many people privately called Ellie the goddess of killing.

Therefore, except for a few companions who really know Ellie, few people in the Freedom Alliance are willing to get close to Ellie.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, such as Mopper who is standing in front of Ellie now.

"Really, how can a girl ask these questions the first time she opens her mouth?" Mober smiled and shook his head, "I heard from Sheeran that someone came to you some time ago and made you lose your temper. Is there such a thing?"

Ellie hesitated for a moment, but when her eyes saw the hearty smile on Mopper's face again, she nodded gently. Then she told Mopper roughly what happened on the day of Elesis's visit.

once.

"Actually, you don't have to do that. Maybe it's better if you choose to believe in her." Mober hesitated for a moment after hearing Ellie's words, and then continued, "It's better to have an unattainable dream than to

Nothing is good, is it?"

"Why? What use can being out of reach do to you?" Ellie looked at Mopper with a strange look in her eyes, as if she was looking at a monster.

"Well, how should I put it? If you have a dream in your heart, life can be easier, right? Even if that hope is a pure fantasy, it is better than living without a purpose, right?"

As Mopper spoke, he pretended to look into the distance with his eyes, but the actual situation was that in his heart, he had despised Brandt who was almost semi-threatening to him.

It turned out that after Elesis left, Sheeran told his Brent what happened. After listening to his niece's description, Brent also felt a little headache.

In fact, Ellie has brought great help to the war situation since she came to the Free Alliance. And she is not only Merlin's apprentice, but also Edward's companion.

And those two people have a relationship with him, and Ellie is also half of his savior. It makes sense that Brandt Dub needs Ellie to remain depressed like this.

Because a magician who has no hope for anything is a very dangerous existence. So he quickly found Mopper and asked him to find a way to enlighten Ellie no matter what.

Mopper was also conflicted about Brandt's request.

In fact, Mopper has had a good impression of Ellie since he first met her. But a good impression is a good impression, and it is another matter to comfort the other person and make the other person cheer up.

Morber knew as much as possible how good his talking skills were, so from the beginning, he rejected Brandt's proposal.

However, Brandt would give up his idea just because Mober refused, so he grabbed Mober and kept talking. The two talked for almost an entire afternoon, with coercion and inducements, and Sheeran on the side using his pitiful words.

The look in his eyes made Mopper feel terrified, and finally he had no choice but to agree to his suggestion and try to enlighten Ellie.

Looking at Ellie's strange expression, Mopper himself knew that his nonsense words were either ignored by Ellie or had no intention of listening to them at all.

So he scratched his hair in annoyance, trying hard to think of a better way to comfort Ellie, at least to make up for what he just said that was completely incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Ellie didn't say anything more. She just continued to stare at Mober, as if waiting for him to continue talking. Seeing this situation, Mober took a deep breath and secretly said in his heart: "Forget it, just die."

.Wherever you say it is, just treat it as completing the task.”

"Ellie, did you have any dreams when you were a child?" Mopper took a deep breath and said.

Ellie shook her head indifferently and said, "I have no memory of the past, so I don't know either."

"Damn it, it was wrong the first time I opened my mouth." In fact, when Mober opened his mouth just now, his question was extremely wrong.

"I'm sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have asked. How should I say the question just now?

Take me for example. My childhood dream was to become an excellent warrior.

Don't look at me now. When I was a kid, I wasn't as energetic as I am now.

I have been suffering from constant problems since I was born. Serious illnesses only occur occasionally, and minor illnesses occur every day.

At that time, let alone becoming a soldier, even a normal person's life was not stable.

But, look at me now, haven’t the dreams that others considered completely unrealistic in the past come true?”

After finishing speaking, Mopper immediately pretended to be serious, but actually turned aside as if to escape, leaving only his back to Ellie.

"Maybe you are right." After a long silence, Ellie said.

Finding that Ellie had acknowledged his nonsense, Mopper immediately relaxed. Then he turned around with excitement, nodded at Ellie, and said, "Is this good?"

"But I don't believe it is completely impossible that Edward is still alive."

Ellie's words once again hit Mopper's mood to the bottom.

However, he stabilized his mind and said to himself secretly: "I said Mobai, Mobai. I have said it to this point. I can complete the task now. Even if I lie, I have to make it complete."

"Maybe. But didn't you have any dreams in the past?"

"Dream?" Ellie murmured and lowered her head. After a long time, she looked up at the sun that was almost submerged on the horizon. "Maybe. After the teacher took me in, I just wanted to become a magician like the teacher."

As soon as he heard Ellie say this, Mopper immediately became excited. He immediately said: "Isn't this great? Since your teacher is no longer here, you can try to realize this dream.

That's okay, isn't it? By the way, in a few days the Earth Temple will start reviewing the magician level, so you might as well go and try to improve your magician level."

"Can I do this?" After hearing Mober's suggestion, Ellie couldn't help but hesitate.

"Don't worry. If you don't try this kind of thing, how will you know that you are not good at it? Well, I have something to do and I need to take the first step." After saying that, Mober didn't care what Ellie planned to say and walked along the path without looking back.

Run down the mountain.

After watching Mo Baier leave in a hurry, Ellie couldn't help but reach out and hold the Philosopher's Gem hanging on her chest tightly in her hand, and then whispered in a low voice: "Teacher, disciple, can I really do it?"

Three days later, in the square in front of the Earth Temple, although the war had swept through almost half of the continent, there were still many people waiting in the square to participate in magic promotion or assessment.

Mopper made some calculations and estimated that Ellie would probably take part in this assessment, so he simply came to the square early that day, intending to cheer Ellie up.

Just as he was wandering alone in the square, looking for Ellie, an extremely angry voice came into his ears from behind him.

"Mober, you idiot! What on earth did you say to Sister Ellie a few days ago!"

After hearing this voice, Mober's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He secretly screamed something bad. That voice was none other than Star Knight Brant's favorite little niece Sheeran.

Although Sheeran has always acted like a good girl in front of outsiders, Mober knew in her heart that as long as she faced her own people, she was no different from a little devil.

In the past, when he was practicing swordsmanship with Brandt, he suffered a lot from this little girl. Now seeing Sheeran looking at him with a hatred as deep as the sea, Mober just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

But in the current situation, even if there was a hole under Mober's feet, Sheeran would probably dig deep into the ground and pull him out, so Mober also knew how to apologize and said with a smile: "My eldest lady, I didn't say anything.

Didn't you and your Uncle Brent ask me to enlighten Ellie?"

"Are you as enlightening as you? Do you know that you are pushing people toward death?" Sheeran ignored Mober's words and became even more angry.

"Pushing into the dead end? How could I do such a thing?" Only then did Mober realize the problem in Sheeran's words, and said with some doubts.

"Let me ask you, what exactly did you say to Sister Ellie that day?"

"It's nothing!" Although Mober was still confused, he still had to tell Sheeran exactly what he said to Ellie that day.

"You, you, you idiot, idiot, big idiot!" Before Mober could finish speaking, Sheeran was seen just jumping around, obviously very angry.

"Miss, what did I do wrong? Even if you sentence me to death, you still have to give me an explanation." Seeing Sheeran like this, Mober had no choice but to spread his hands and stop explaining.

Seeing that Mober still looked innocent, Sheeran asked angrily: "Okay, let me ask you, why do you want sister Ellie to participate in the magician's promotion trial?"

"Isn't this what she dreams of? How can she advance if she doesn't participate in the magician trial?"

"That's the question. Do you know what level of magician Sister Ellie is now?"

"This... Oops, how could I forget such an important thing?" It was only at this moment that Mopper suddenly remembered what Brandt had mentioned when introducing Ellie to him. Ellie was already a sixth-level magician.

, if she advances, she will become a great mage.

The evaluation of the Great Mage in Sebion is not conducted through actual combat like other levels, but is determined through the magic trial towers erected around the holy land.

Only the magician who successfully walks out of the magic tower can truly obtain the title of Grand Mage, and will also win the title specially awarded by the Magician Guild.

The three major magic holy places in Sabian continent all have five magic towers, four of which represent the four attributes of water, wind, fire and earth respectively.

Those who can pass these four towers are the best magicians.

But there are also this unique set of magic trial towers in the three holy places, namely the dark trial tower of the Silent Temple, the light trial tower of the Obelisk overlooking all things, and the elemental tower of the Earth Temple.

Compared with other magic trial towers, the number of people who can pass these three towers is extremely rare. The number of people with this ability in the entire history of mankind can definitely be counted on one hand.

And this includes Ellie’s teacher Merlin Halluto, whose title in the Magician’s Guild is the Spokesperson of Darkness.

This also shows that he is a magician who has passed the Dark Trial Tower and completed the trial.

"Then which trial tower did Ellie enter?" After finally understanding the seriousness of the situation, Mober immediately became nervous. If something happened to Ellie, don't say that Brandt would not let him go.

, even Sheeran in front of him probably has to peel off a layer of his own skin.

"Where else could it be? Sister Ellie chose the Tower of Elemental Trial!"

After hearing this, Mopper's mind suddenly went blank. At this moment, he only felt that the sky seemed to have collapsed, and only he was pressed down.
