Seemingly realizing that she was off topic, Lily calmed down for a moment, reorganized her words and said: "Teacher Atbold's injury was caused by the Hitos family, this ancient pure-blood family."

"This injury is extremely vicious, like a gangrene attached to the bone, it has been tormenting my grandfather for sixty years... and it got worse again not long ago because of the attack."

She couldn't help but sigh.

"If it weren't for this injury... Grandpa Atbold would have successfully advanced to the third level wizard!"

Colin was silent, quietly digesting the news.

"Teacher Atbold, have you fought with someone recently?" After a moment, Colin suddenly asked in confusion.

"Yes...but rather than fighting with someone, it's better to say that he came to us on his own initiative. That person is also a member of the Hitos family...as for the reason."

Speaking of this, Lilian suddenly paused and said:

"On the surface it's because of the Athos Society, but in fact it's because of the grudges many years ago..."

"Because Athios can...?" Colin stopped. At this moment, they had gone down one level from the top floor and arrived outside a room with a closed stone door on the penultimate floor.

There are no locked rooms on the top floor.

"I'll do it." Lilian said, looking at the closed stone door. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the stone door. A seed immediately took root and sprouted on the stone door. Then, as it grew bigger and bigger, there were a few clicks, and the stone door cracked.

.

"It's amazing!" Naxi's head popped out of his hood at some point. Seeing this scene, she seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Colin didn't pay attention... This should be the bedroom of a certain high elf, and he and Lilian stepped into it.

"Senior Lilian..." Colin was about to remind Lilian that she had not answered his question, but before he could finish speaking, Lilian said softly:

"The people of the Hitos family somehow found out that you were selected by the Supreme Council to be the wizard accompanying Athios, and they want to ask the instructor to voluntarily kick you out of the school in order to obtain a vacant spot... But how can this happen?

Possible! How far-fetched!"

After saying that, Lilian glanced at Colin and emphasized: "This is just their excuse. The real reason is the old grudges from the past!"

Colin moved his lips, not knowing what to say, so he just nodded.

There was a silence between the two of them, and the atmosphere became awkward for no reason.

I searched around silently, but found nothing of value in this bedroom.

Lilian's expression obviously dropped.

'As long as we keep going there will be hope.'

'There will always be something that can save Master Atbold...'

Colin wanted to say something, but after organizing it several times, he always felt it was inappropriate... After all, he was not Lilian, and he could not personally understand the feeling of Lilian's family living as aliens.

"Senior Lilian, why are the high elves gradually disappearing and where have they gone?"

After pondering for a moment, Colin asked.

Thousands of years ago, the living conditions of a family like Lilian were completely different from what they are now... The main reason is probably because of the high elves.

If the high elves had not disappeared and the two families still maintained friendly relations, the mixed-blood family in the middle would not have fallen into such a situation.

"According to what my grandfather told me, the elves couldn't stand the dirty world, so they chose to return to the elves' kingdom. There are only elves who come out to travel occasionally...but after all, there are few, and even our families with elves' blood are few.

Can be contacted."

"A dirty world?" Colin asked, catching the key words keenly.

Lilian paused for a moment, but did not explain directly, but asked Colin:

"Do you know this is not how the world is meant to be?"

"That's not the case..." Colin was confused, not understanding what Lilian meant.

But Lilian's next words shocked him.

Lilian turned her head and looked into the sky, speaking in a deep voice:

"As early as a thousand years ago, there was no so-called pollution and alienation in this world... The number of wizards, especially the number of wandering wizards, was much greater than it was at this time!"

"These pollution alienations...haven't they existed since ancient times?" Colin couldn't help but murmured, "I have never seen this information in any books or legends."

"The Supreme Council deliberately hid this truth..." Lilian explained, "I also heard about it from my grandfather."

Colin let out a breath, digesting the shocking news.

Next, the two of them continued to search all the rooms inside the stone tree one by one... But until only the branch building on the bottom floor was left, they still found nothing.

"What a giant."

Just as Colin and the two were preparing to use witchcraft to violently break open the door of the last building as before, and enter to search, the elf Naxi suddenly spoke.

"Little Naxi seems to have remembered it!" she said, waving towards Shimen.

An invisible spiritual light flashed, and with a snap, the stone door suddenly opened.

Inside is a hall with an unobstructed view. It is empty and there is nothing else except tables and chairs.
