Chapter 1203 Gretel: My Mother, Did You Ever Mention My Name?

When Grete said these words, the atmosphere at the edge of the Well of Eternity suddenly stiffened. Elder Fahim stopped smiling and looked at Gretel worriedly;

Idian paused his attempts at strength, and Ashe Yuesong turned around from the outside of the crowd and walked quickly towards Gretel;

Archmage Baierbo didn't make any move, he just darkened his face, and his eyes lightly touched Elder Melinsela. He took a step across and stood half sideways in front of Gretel, staring at the elves without saying a word.

The one who moved the most was Cerela. Without thinking, the silver dragon girl took a step across and took the initiative to hold Gretel's hand. The silver dragon girl's face clearly showed sympathy and worry:

"Gretel..."

"I'm fine."

Gretel's expression softened a little. He gently swung his arm to break away from Cerela's hand, and patted the back of her white and delicate hand. The voice was soft, and he even managed to squeeze out a smile:

"I'm really fine."

Cerela held his hand firmly again. The silver dragon girl's usually cold palms were now warm and wrapped around his fingers. After letting it warm for a while, slide it up again and place your palm against his palm.

Soon, the other hand came closer, as if trying to transfer body heat to his body and dispel the infinite chill in his heart.

Grete actually smiled. He put his hands together, patted the back of Serila's hand again, and said in a soft voice:

"Don't worry. I'm really fine. It's in the past - a long, long time in the past."

To be fair, Gretel, Wu Zhou to be precise, has no grudge against the elves.

He is not the child who lost his mother when he was young and grew up with his father.

It’s not like that kid who eats food from hundreds of families, wears clothes from hundreds of families, and is surrounded by ladies and aunties who help with laundry, mending clothes, and taking care of their daily lives.

It’s not that kid who lost his father before he was ten years old, was raised by his father’s comrades, and joined the city guard at the age of 16...

However, if he hadn't traveled through time, what would have been the original little Gretel's life trajectory?

He joined the City Guards at the age of 16. Relying on the inheritance left by his father, if he is talented, lucky, and diligent, he may be able to become a level 3 or level 4 warrior in his early 20s.

As for passing the level 5 mark and becoming a knight, maybe it can be done, but maybe it won't be possible in a lifetime.

Of course, if the talent is not good enough and the luck is not enough... In fact, when Wu Zhou traveled through time, the original little Gretel was already dead...

Say something about thinking of you and loving you. He said that he regards you as one of the elves, and that he has the blood of the elves in his body. What do you mean, as long as you reach level 10, you can light up the pendant and find the way to Everjum Island?

If I never reach level 10 in my life, does that mean that I have no value to the elves, that I am not worthy of going to Evermeet Island, or even of seeing any elves?

In a place like Heartland City, a small town with only 20,000 people, where the highest level knights and spellcasters are no more than level 10, it is so difficult to think of reaching level 10...

Gretel did not resent these elves, nor did he resent his original mother—in any case, the elf woman gave birth to the child named Gretel Nordmark.

However, he really felt a little aggrieved for the former child named Little Gretel.

Why, I have been indifferent for the past ten years, and never showed up when my children needed it. Now I see the child growing up, becoming an adult, becoming a level 12 nature priest, a level 12 mage, and doing things that the elves would be amazed——

Then he came over and said, "You have our blood flowing on your body. You are one of our own. We invite you to visit Elf Island?"

hehe.

The elven elders exchanged glances with each other quickly. Behind them, the elves who had not yet reached the legend, including Ashe Yuesong, Idian and others, held their breath and did not dare to say a word. After a while, Elder Melinsela coughed lightly:

"Hey, Grete, things may not be what you imagine... If you don't have to, you will leave your young child without a mother..."

"So what?" Grete said softly:

"Break up the couple, take the mother away from the young child, and leave no backup for the child... Yes, the mother may indeed have her responsibilities to bear, but has anyone thought about that child?"

Elder Melinsela choked. Gretel spoke in one breath:

"No one has ever thought about, what if something happens to the child's father? What if the child's father fails to protect the child? What if... the child's father remarries, and the child needs to make a living under his stepmother? Woolen cloth?"

"Ahem, Grete, you don't understand the history of the elves. There are some things you don't know." Elder Fahim had to speak:

"Early on, when the elves retreated, they took away many human partners and their children from the mainland. However, because of the natural lifespan gap between humans and elves, as well as the difference in qualifications, many tragedies happened..."

Gretel remained silent, staring into his eyes, waiting for him to continue. Elder Fahim sighed:

"Neither the northern part of the New World nor the large forests here are places where lower-level professionals can live happily. Even if we try our best to take care of them, they have a very bad life. Later..."

He sighed again, as if he wanted to spit out all the tragedies he had seen along with the breath in his lungs:

"Later, it gradually became a convention that elves and humans combine to live in the human realm as much as possible. Especially partners and children with lower professional levels should not be brought to Yongju Island."

"oh."

Grete shrugged indifferently. He could probably understand what the elf was thinking: anyway, the lifespan gap would be left here, and when the partner passed away, the children would be able to stand on their own feet, and then return to Evermeet Island.

Of course, sometimes if the operation is improper, there will be cases like Little Gretel or Ms. Jasmine. Then, um, whose children encounter it, it will be bad luck for their children.

"As for Gretel... your mother didn't come to you, nor did she send anyone to come to you. Maybe she had to face difficulties. Maybe you know her name? I can help you ask what Yongju Island is. what's the situation……"

Gretel was silent. He looked across from the Well of Eternity, his eyes penetrating through the forest, over the waves, and towards the distant old continent.

I turn to the place where my father and mother met, fell in love, and eloped hand in hand. I turn to the Kingdom of Kent, the small town where I spent my first sixteen years. After a long time, he whispered:

"My mother's name? My mother - the mother of this body, she never mentioned my name on the Isle of Evermeet?"
