The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 28 [New Teacher ]

The wind blows through the falling leaves. Cool and natural atmosphere that suits the image of Elf. The house on the big tree looks beautiful. Although made of wood, the design of the building is very aesthetic.

Aqua and the others climbed the stairs that surrounded the tree. At the end of the stairs there is a terrace house neatly arranged. The dark brown wooden door faintly let out mana. As soon as Aqua touched the door, a bright yellow magic circle appeared and disappeared instantly.

The function of the magic circle is to convey to the house that there are guests who visit.

Light and quiet footsteps could be heard from inside the house. As soon as the door opened, a brown-skinned man and pointed ears greeted Aqua's eyes.

"What do you want?" he said it wasn't friendly.

Long, messy light green hair and tired-looking navy eyeballs were visible to him. Aqua knew right away that they had come at an inopportune time.

Aqua showed the Elf greeting.

"My name is Aquamarine. I am the disciple of the owner of the Magic Tower, Vashlana Magiya. My teacher ordered me to study with you. The two people beside me are my trusted colleagues, Yue and Feirlyx."

"......"

Alesta looked at the lazy Aqua. He sighed and turned back to his house. His hand answered, sending Aqua and her friend in. Aqua, Yue and Lix entered the tree house. Although the appearance of the owner is very messy, the house is very neatly arranged. There was not even a little dust in it.

Alesta sat down on the sofa, she had Aqua and her friend sit in front of her.

"...... Aquamarine, right? Haaa. That fucking Ashlan. Throwing his disciple at me for his incompetence" he lamented.

Aqua, Lix and Yue said nothing. The man in front of him seemed to be annoyed by whatever they said.

"Aqua! He was somewhat different from the other Elves," whispered Yue in Aqua's ear.

"indifferent. Yue, Mr. Alesta is a Dark Elf," Aqua replied softly.

"Dark Elves?"

"Where are the elves whose skin is dark."

"So so!"

Alesta's long ears are moving. Views sharpen.

"Stop that whisper! Dark Elf's ears are sensitive, I can hear!"

Aqua and Yue gasped. They grin awkwardly.

"Either you have heard it or not. I'm Alesta, a dark elf. Usually Elves and Dark Elves do not coexist. So my case is rare," he said.

"I live in this Kingdom because I'm busy doing research. That's all!"

"The letter from Ashlan has arrived. I've heard about you, genius child witch. You said you wanted to learn dark magic?"

"Really! I want to learn dark magic. Please be my teacher, Mr. Alesta," pinta Aqua.

"I have no interest in having students. But this is Ashlan's request, so what can I do. I'll give you three tests, those who pass those tests can learn from me."

Alesta's words made Aqua and the others panic a little. It was true that Alesta would not easily become his teacher, but he was also not ready to take an impromptu exam like this.

"At first I only heard Half-elf children who would study with me. Who would have thought that the demon child and ashura would come along too."

"!!!"

Aqua, Lix and Yue were shocked because Alesta instantly knew their identities in one look. They instantly went into alert mode.

"Relax.I don't have any evil intentions or anything like that" Alesta said.

"..... How could you know the true identities of Yue and Feirlyx?" aqua asked a little suspiciously.

"Why do you think I don't know? Well.. I just feel so looking at which flow they are," he replied calmly.

"As I said, I have no evil intentions. I think it's interesting to teach the devil and ashura" he continued.

"You already know that Yue is a demon. Normally people would panic, fear or even get angry when they see the devil. Why are you calm?" ask Lix beware.

"Can you say that?"

"Ah...great children in the human world do not know about the real devil, yes."

"?"

The answer from Alesta left Aqua and Lix confused. What does he mean by real demons?

"That's it. If you pass the test, I will tell you the truth about the devil and the legend of the world. How's it?"

"What's testing?" aqua asked in a slightly excited tone.

"Because there are three of you, okay, here you go. Get me the dew of life. I need that for my research. Simple right?"

"Grow life?!!!!!" lix screams in shock.

"The sprouting of life can only be found around the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil. To get to the tree alone must pass through various dangerous monsters. Even people with levels above 300 have difficulty entering the zone. How could we possibly take it?"

Lix begins to get annoyed, Alesta giving the impossible task to three minors. No, even hero party members would have trouble picking it up. But he asked children whose levels were only slightly higher than normal children to take it.

"This guy!! He had no intention of teaching us from the beginning!! What am I supposed to do?!"

Alesta grins. As Lix had expected, he had indeed from the beginning no intention of teaching them. The reason for that was because he was currently really busy with his research. She doesn't have time to babysit the kids.

Lix gave a bitter expression. They can't stop here if they want to get stronger. But going there with their current level is suicide.

A dew created from the tree of life, Yggdrasil. A single drop of this dew could already heal a heavy wound. As long as the person is not dead, any wounds can heal.

Aqua remained calm, she had already thought of dozens of plans in her head.

"!"

"Wait Aqua! Whatchu mean?! I know you're strong, but that place isn't your level anymore!" shock Lix.

"Hoo~ are you sure?" alesta was rather interested.

"I thought he'd give up and go back to Ashlan. Could too…"

"I'll go get it. However seen however, it was an overly difficult condition. Just be your student for a while and told me the legend is not worth it, in my opinion."

"..... What do you want?"

"I'll take it myself. My level is at least a bit high. But both of my colleagues are still beginners. Mr. Alesta, please let them be in a safe place. As long as I'm not around, please train them!"

"Sure it's not free, Lix's intelligence can definitely help you and Yue also a genius in dark magic. He won't trouble you."

"!!"

"Oi Aqua! What does that mean?! You want to go alone?!!" angry Lix.

"Aqua! Yue was unwilling to leave Aqua! If Aqua leaves, Yue also leaves!!!" whine Yue.

"Can't! As Lix said earlier, if you go there now, it's suicide."

Aqua forbade her two comrades in a stern tone, she really did not want them to force themselves into a dangerous place.

"That goes for you too!!! You think you can even survive in there!?"

Lix is upset with Aqua who casually plunges into dangerous terrain alone.

"At least longer than you."

Aqua's answer seemed to stab Yue and Lix. Those 1 short sentence was already an indisputable fact to them.

Lix could not reply to Aqua's words anymore. It was true that he who was now was too weak to be able to accompany Aqua.

"A reasonable offer. The child's life is precious. If he dies, I can kill Ashlan, " thought Alesta.

"It's fascinating. He knows the price of his own life. Okay…"

Alesta stood up and walked towards the bookshelves. He took out a map from there and again sat down in front of Aqua. Alesta put the map on the table. The map that Alesta brought was a detailed map of the magic continent.

He marked somewhere with a pen.

"Go here!"

"This is not the place where the tree of life is?" confused Aqua.

"You think only the Yggdrasil region has the dew of life? The area was heavily guarded by the Elves. How did other races get it?"

"They're going to go here! This was an illegal auction venue selling high-level items. Go out there and buy the dew of life!"

Alesta rolled up the map and handed it to Aqua. The three children were relieved that Aqua did not have to go to a super dangerous place like the forest of the tree of life.

"Thank you very much!!" said Aqua.

"No need. Going there is dangerous too. Although not as dangerous as the forest, the journey there is also not easy," said Alesta relaxed.

"You! Go there yourself! I'll teach your two friends here."

Aqua's eyes twinkled. He was really happy that Alesta accepted his offer even though he didn't have to.

"I'm really grateful!!!"

"I told you it wasn't necessary. Two of your friends I'll make good use of" Alesta replied with a sly smile.

Lix and Yue gulped. They should get ready for whatever Alesta ordered later.

"Then this!"

Alesta handed the teleportation paper to Aqua.

"The paper coordinates are this house. When you're done, just teleport here. I gave you 3 days! If you haven't come in 3 days, don't expect you to show me your face."

"Good! Leave it to me!"

Aqua answered confidently. Actually when viewed from a distance, going there takes about 5 days on a horse ride. But since what we're talking about is Aqua, she can arrive within 2 days. Of course it was if his journey was not interrupted by monsters and others.

"Then go quickly! I don't have much time!" drive Alesta.

Aqua nodded, after she said her regards and goodbye to Lix and Yue, Aqua immediately left the Vittacelar Kingdom without wasting more time.

"Because I've agreed, I'll teach you the basics. Prepare yourself! I'm not a gentle person."

Alesta had already thought about what using Lix and Yue would look like. Whatever happened to them later, Lix and Yue could only accept and study as hard as possible so as not to burden Aqua.

"All right!!"
