On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the number...
When she first took over the body, she was very happy and used her power freely. But not long after her own power was exhausted, she realized a serious problem. Because of the existence of the original owner's consciousness, "she" was unable to exercise her own abilities. Everything could only be done through the original abilities of this body.
And this body is so pitifully weak!
She regretted it immediately.
But it was no use regretting it. After "she" entered this body, she was completely integrated with it. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't, unless she could find another person who was parasitic by the demon species.
But you can imagine that it is almost impossible.
The only thing I can be thankful for is.
Because she has a body, "she" can recover her strength on her own, but this recovery ability also has big problems.
First, the recovery speed depends entirely on Alice's own talent. Second, because this recovery method does not increase strength normally, the recovered strength is only temporary. Once consumed, it has to be accumulated from the beginning.
During this period, although "she" has been constantly accumulating strength, at most she has even recovered to level B+.
As a result, when he chose to pass through a forest for convenience, he encountered a powerful creature and all the strength he had accumulated with great difficulty was gone.
You have to know that "she" now has a human body. If she is seriously injured, she will not recover on her own like the demons, but will die!
So from then on, Alice began to avoid entering areas that were dangerous for humans, and in order to save as much energy as possible, she began to hitchhike secretly.
This is actually not the first time that “she” has sneaked into the convoy like this.
Ding-ling~!
Not long after.
The convoy started to set off, and "Alice" hid quietly in the convoy, following the convoy as it got closer to "her" destination.
And about half a day after the convoy left.
A tired young man came here.
He was wearing a battle-ravaged gray robe, with dark circles under his eyes, and looked shaky.
"Hey, are you okay?"
When the staff at the post station saw his appearance, they were afraid that he might faint here, so they asked worriedly.
"I'm fine..."
The boy shook his head slowly and replied weakly.
Then, despite the staff's dissuasion, he searched the inn, as if he was looking for something very important.
After a while, the boy looked in the direction where the convoy had left.
"Alice..."
The boy murmured a name, and deep in his tired pupils was an extremely firm will.
"Wait for me, I will definitely save you."
... ...
"Come on! One flower per person!"
Irus came back with three cloud candies.
"Ah, thank you."
Irene quickly thanked him and took one of the cloud candies.
Each of the three people held a cloud candy and flew on the small clouds while playing in the entertainment district.
"Oh~! Isn't this Hulim!"
Suddenly someone greeted Hulim enthusiastically.
Hulim looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liz, Uno and Yuris who were also shopping.
"You guys are out to play too—eh!? Isn't that Lady Irus?!"
Liz recognized Irus next to Hulim and was startled, then quickly greeted her.
"Hello, Lady Eluse!"
"Ah, really, hello, Lady Irus."
After being reminded by Liz, Uno also recognized Irus in casual clothes and greeted her.
"Yuris has met the Saint Lady."
Yuris, the only male among the three, bowed to Irus in an exaggerated manner.
"You two don't have to be so polite," Irus said to Liz and Uno with a smile, then looked at Yuris, "Yuris, you should stand up too."
"Yes, Yuris thanks the Saint Lady."
Yuris raised his head again, but his attitude was still very respectful.
The reason why he did this was because of Irus's identity——
The Holy Maiden of the World Tree.
As the lifeline of Himlir, the World Tree holds a particularly high status among the elves. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first object of faith. Even the goddess of life Helm and the earth mother goddess Traya are ranked behind it.
In order to worship the World Tree, the elves will select a saint in each generation to preside over the ceremony of worshiping the sacred tree.
Among them, there are some very special people, that is the saint chosen by the World Tree herself!
Irus is one of them. She was chosen by the World Tree from birth. Even her middle name "Emerald Star" was given by the World Tree...
However, although it is some.
But in reality...
Before Irus, the World Tree had only chosen one person to become the World Tree Saint.
In other words, Irus is the second person in the entire long history of Himlir to be chosen by the World Tree...
Therefore, Irus's status among the elves is unique, even supreme, to the point where she is treated as a god. Even the royal family has to salute her solemnly when they see her, and so do other elves.
Moreover, Irus could not easily refuse the elves' salute, because it was an act of faith and respect. If she refused, it would be tantamount to declaring her rejection of the other party's faith, which would be tantamount to doomsday for the elves.
This is also why Irus let Liz and Uno spend time with her freely, but accepted Yuris's greeting...
