Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
"You're welcome. Your father thanked me before he died."
Upon hearing Yinla's words, Satanye's eyes widened immediately. She couldn't help but ask the elf lady, "Sister, was your father also killed by Mr. Yinla?"
No matter how you look at it, this statement is utterly ridiculous, yet it makes perfect sense in this moment...
"Hmm? You must be Satanie... the daughter of Faviginho?"
As the elven woman spoke, she nodded and continued, "Yes, Mr. Yinla cleansed all the corrupted lands and then freed all the corrupted elves. Was your father corrupted at that time as well?"
Asked this question, Satan Ye, who knew nothing about "corruption," was stunned and looked at Yinla with confusion... Was my father corrupted? Was that why Mr. Yinla killed my father?
"No, I just killed him on the battlefield as his adversary."
Yinla spoke without any mercy.
"Ah, there's nothing we can do about it..."
The elven girl showed an understanding expression; they seemed to be able to view life and death in a good light... or rather, the people of this world did not value life and death as much as the predecessor of the Federation in the ancient times (China).
Of course, if someone you're close to is killed, you should still be angry.
Because in this world, the souls of the dead truly return to the World Tree, and that soul will eventually return to the world itself as nourishment for the World Tree, and then be reborn.
Even theocrats that deny the existence of gods acknowledge this.
This world is far from materialistic. Even if we consider Mana as a basic particle, it is still not materialistic... In a world of idealism and magic, looking at problems from a materialistic perspective will only lead to a dead end.
"Yinla, how many days are you planning to stay this time?"
As Yinla asked this question, Cassiopeia looked very expectant, as if she really hoped Yinla would stay at the Silvermoon Tree Garden for a few days, but she did not receive an answer from Yinla.
Yinla simply pointed to Sylina and Satan, indicating that she should ask them, not herself.
"Reporting to King Casiopeia, after the trade concludes and negotiations are held regarding the next trade, we will return home... The Demon King's territory is busy with affairs and we cannot stay any longer, please understand."
Sylvia spoke respectfully but somewhat distantly, which made Cassiopeia look disappointed.
"However, I may have to stay a little longer as I have some personal matters to attend to... Sirina, you and Satan Ye take the people and go back first. I will use the Void Travel to return to the Demon King's territory later."
As Yinla was saying this, he was about to explain his reasons when Shilina and Satan immediately nodded in agreement. The little demon king nodded and said, "Then Mr. Yinla, good luck and come back soon."
"..."
I feel like this trust is a bit too much. What if I just stayed in Silvermoon Tree Garden and never went back? But as the one being trusted, it feels really good.
Thinking this through, Yinla nodded to indicate that he understood.
However, upon closer reflection, if I truly intend to stay in the Silvermoon Tree Garden forever, then forcing me to remain in the Demon King's territory would actually lead to undesirable consequences.
So, was this a lucky accident? Although I had no intention of resigning from the Demon King's territory—Silver Moon Tree Garden is a good place to retire, but not a suitable place to realize dreams and ambitions.
"Hmm? Alright then. I've asked everyone to prepare a room for you in the Silvermoon Tree Royal Court. Satan Ye, Sirina, and the three other ladies, please come along too. Rest in the Royal Court until the trade is completed."
As Cassie said this, the joy on her face was obvious. Ira would assume it was the joy of reuniting with an old friend... but hopefully that was the case, and not for some other reason.
At Cassiopeia's urging, the six followed the elves, moving away from the siren sailors unloading cargo and the children who were trying to help... What? You're saying Satan Ye needs guards or something?
On one hand, the sirens on the ship are no match for the three sirens leaders, and the three sirens leaders are no match for Sirina. On the other hand... if even Illa couldn't protect Satanye, then it would be pointless to have a hundred black knights protecting Satanye.
Passing through the dense canopy of the forest, the group walked under the gentle gaze of the elves perched on the branches toward the largest tree in the distance... that was where the World Tree was located.
Of course, the so-called Silvermoon Tree Royal Court is not the World Tree itself. The place where the royal family and noble elves live is on a huge tree that is so large that it is almost impossible to tell that it is a tree.
If the World Tree is so large that one cannot even perceive the curvature of its trunk while standing before it, then the Silver Moon Tree and the Royal Court Tree are much smaller, yet still enormous...
If you include the tree bark, the area of one layer might be as large as the entire Demon King's territory.
"What a nice view……"
Satan Leaf sighed as she walked along the forest path. The dense foliage prevented much sunlight from filtering through, but the surrounding light was still intense—numerous luminous ferns were scattered throughout the area.
You can also see fireflies flying around from time to time.
This place seems to be filled with beautiful yet mysterious hues.
"Yes, but the scenery at night is more beautiful here in Silver Moon Tree Garden."
