Although the simulator had not mentioned such an anomaly during the last simulation, Reiter had long understood that the simulator was not omnipotent. It could change at any time in the future.
It depended on every act of the past and the present. After all, with each simulation, his trajectory would be different from before. The future of the past was not necessarily the future of the present.
Just as Reiter was about to simulate it and choose "yes", something unexpected happened.
In the middle of the ice crystal snowflakes in the sky, a small vortex appeared, about half a meter long. In the center of the vortex, there was an abnormally pure and highly condensed water element. This water element was fundamentally different from ordinary water elements.
However, Reiter could not tell what the difference was.
Reiter paused the simulation, chose no, and quietly watched the sky change.
Tardell looked at the new changes in the sky hesitantly and fell into deep thought. Not long after, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He pointed at the sky with his right hand and said with a trembling voice, "Snow elf… Could this be a snow elf?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard the three words 'Snow Elf'. Especially when the last word was 'Elf', they recalled some relevant memories.
Elves were not a specific race or group, but a type of life that was born from the laws of heaven and earth and had unbelievable wonders. Legend had it that elves had all kinds of strange forms and appearances. Even in the Kingdom of Jinlun, no one had ever seen the birth of elves, let alone understood the mysteries of elves.
Regarding the nature of elves, some people speculated that elves were transformed from some magic plants or magical beasts, while others speculated that elves were elemental lifeforms. In short, there were many different opinions about elves.
In their hearts, elves were synonymous with mystery and incomparably rare.
They looked at the sky in disbelief.
At this moment, Tardell looked at Reiter and said excitedly, "Sir, when I was wandering around in the past, I was fortunate enough to hear from a powerful mercenary that he had once seen the birth of a Bear Elf with his own eyes.
"From that expert, I learned that strange lifeforms like elves are accompanied by phenomena when they are born. However, when phenomena appear, they need a certain medium, such as a plant. Or an animal, or a human. Only when the medium appears will the elves really appear and choose their master."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Then, Tardell continued, "Back then, the Bear Elf was born in the Thunder Bear Branch in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. They were located in the middle of the Kingdom of Rem and the beastmen forces.
"At that time, the Kingdom of Rem's army and the beastmen were fighting in the Thunder Bear Branch. Along the way, the bear-type magical beasts in the entire mountain range rioted. In the end, a baby-sized bear was born and thrown into the body of a certain chieftain of the Bearman Tribe. Then, not only did the Bearman Chieftain break through on the spot, but his morale also soared, and he obtained the final victory of the war."
Tardell looked up with interest and sighed. "The Kingdom of Rem is far away from the Kingdom of Jinlun. In the past, I always doubted the authenticity of the words of that mercenary senior. I only thought that he was bragging when we were drinking in a tavern. I didn't expect it to be true.
"The current situation undoubtedly corresponds to the phenomenon of the birth of the little elf, and it seems to be more interested in us."
Reiter looked up at the sky. The vortex continued, brewing the so-called elves. He believed Tardell's words, so he asked, "How did that mercenary know about what happened in the distant Thunder Bear branch?"
"He said he was a deserter from the war."
"…"
Reiter raised an eyebrow. Well, desertion is a shameful thing for any place. No kingdom would allow such a thing to happen. They would definitely be severely punished after the incident. In the end, there was a high chance that they would lose their lives.
Reiter's eyes flickered. He didn't know much about the elves either, but aside from what he'd just learned, he'd heard in the military that the elves of the world were unique.
What was unique?
Naturally, after the first elf was born, there would be no second elf that is the same as the first. Only after the elf died could it appear again.
Reiter thought that snow elves and bear elves could exist at the same time, but there would not be a second snow elf or bear elf.
After understanding Tardell's explanation, Tucker looked at the sky expectantly because he had also yearned for an extremely rare creature like the elves. Since he could not forcefully subdue it, he could only take the initiative to recognize it as his master.
On the surface, it seemed to be a matter of appearance. However, Reiter did not think so. He watched as the water elements in the sky became more and more condensed, gradually forming an outline.
He waved his hand and shouted, "Let's spread out and let Rylei stand in the middle."
Without any complaints, everyone dispersed.
Rylei glanced at his father but didn't say anything. After listening to the explanation just now, he had a vague guess in his heart.
A few minutes later, another gust of wind blew. This wind was even colder. Even with the full power of Reiter's Rock Light Shield, he was barely able to block it. As for the others, they had already retreated dozens of meters away and were not within the range of the cold wind.
The ice crystals and snowflakes in the sky actually stopped under the cold wind. Then, they quickly approached the center and accelerated the final condensation speed.
A mysterious aura filled the air.
A minute later, a creature that seemed to be round descended from the sky and shot towards Rylei.
"As expected." When Reiter saw this scene, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
If what Tardell said was true, back then, the Bear Elf had recognized a Bearman Chief as its master and did not choose any other targets. This meant that the "medium" was an important existence. Not everyone could attract the elves, so there must be some connection or prerequisite.
As the only water mage here, if there was anyone who could attract the snow elf the most, Rylei was naturally the best choice.
The others, including Reiter himself, probably didn't have such good fortune. Not far away, a few people saw the snow elf landing and came back one after another. They looked at Rylei with envy and joy.
"Congratulations, Second Young Master, for obtaining a Snow Elf. This is a legendary elf. There shouldn't be many of them in a kingdom, right?" Tardell sighed with emotion. As early as when he sensed the abnormality in Rylei, he didn't have much hope. In the end, the chosen one was indeed Second Young Master.
"There are many types of elves, and every one of them has a magical ability. I can't help but praise them."
The winner of the Surprise Award, Rylei, was currently closing his eyes. The first time the snow elf recognized him as its master had also improved his mental strength.
A snowman formed by two round snowballs landed on top of his head. It was snow-white all over, but the snowman was now lying on Rylei's head. No one else could tell what the snow elf's face looked like.
Reiter didn't know much about elves. He only knew that they were a magical creature that couldn't reproduce and could only condense between heaven and earth.
Judging from Rylei's condition, it seemed that the snow elf's acknowledgement of its master had begun to help him break through.
It was definitely good news.
Two minutes later, Rylei opened his eyes again and smiled.
Facing everyone's gazes, Rylei didn't say anything. Instead, he extended his left hand and communicated with Nina, the snow elf who had just acknowledged him as her master. Nina was the name he had just given her.
Gradually, the snow elf stood up and lowered her head to look at the others, as if she was very shy.
Then, she jumped onto Rylei's hand and lay down again.
Rylei said embarrassedly, "The little guy is newborn and is more afraid of strangers. There will be many opportunities in the future. Everyone can slowly understand her."
