Chapter 81: Explosive! Why did the elves and werewolves come to my room late at night...

*

It wasn't until we returned to the church that Sean saw me and ran away.

I really wanted to talk to him about this, but unfortunately he was busy dealing with the matter in the Beast God Forest as soon as he came back. This guy ran so fast that I couldn't catch him at all.

With the Beast God believers making trouble in front and the CD player cleaning up behind, the bishop who led the team naturally didn't find any clues. Only the players, with their amazing sense of smell, found that the Beast God believers players had taken a large amount of property from them. By the way, the case was settled.

The Knight Commander came to me halfway through the meeting and seemed to want to say something. But before he could finish his words, he saw how busy I was and quietly left, taking the dragon that was lazing around in my room with him.

When I was free, it was already half a month later. I was shocked to find that they had been terribly quiet during this period. Not only Sean, but even the others hadn't come to me. There was no movement from Shu either.

"Is it over already?"

The elf sitting in front of the window put down the book in his hand and looked up at me. His fingers were slender and long, resting on the dark brown cover. The sound of rain was pattering outside the window. This scene was like a beautiful oil painting.

I smiled apologetically at him: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Nothing, it's nice to read here, it feels like I'm back in the forest of elves."

The elf put down the book in his hand and spoke softly. His eyes like emerald stone looked at me, which reminded me of the rustling wind in front of the corridor in midsummer. As expected, he was a race favored by the goddess of nature, with perfect temperament and appearance.

"Let's go. It's raining outside. Maybe this weather will be a different experience."

*

The story begins on the third day after I came back.

When I was busy, the Elf Saint suddenly came to my door and brought a box of snacks.

"Can I invite you for a walk?"

I looked up from the table, and Odysseus added before I could answer.

"Not now, but when you are done. The garden is very pretty in the evening, and the silver-edged flowers are about to bloom. I think you will like them."

The elf spoke in a slow and steady voice, with a slightly rising tone at the end and a gentle articulation, sounding like he was singing. He looked at me intently, his green eyes gleaming with tenderness.

No one in the world should be able to refuse an elf who looks at you with such eyes. I am no exception. Although I am busy, I have to say that I do feel a little guilty towards Odysseus.

After all, I haven't told him yet that I am the child lost in the forest.

Hearing my answer, Odysseus smiled slightly.

"Can I wait for you here?"

He pointed to the chair in front of the window, his emerald eyes reflecting my figure. I naturally had no reason to refuse, so I nodded and agreed to his request.

"If you're not bored."

"Elves are accustomed to long lives. Believe me, we know how to enjoy a sunny afternoon."

The elf sat on the chair and took out a book from the space ring. I glanced at the cover, which read "One Hundred Delicacies of Honey Grass" in Elvish.

I didn’t expect this guy actually likes to cook... I thought all the elves in the world liked unprocessed vegetarian food.

With a delicate mood, I opened the box of snacks, took out a piece and took a bite.

I have to say that the elf's craftsmanship is very good. This is a box of green pastries in the shape of a sandwich. I have never seen such a pastry before. The upper and lower layers of meringue are made of vanilla, which is rich and crispy. The jelly-like filling is chewy and delicious, with a unique sweet flavor.

"Did you do this?"

The elf looked up from the book with a small, unnoticeable sense of joy and pride: "Well, I like cooking very much."

"I thought few elves enjoyed cooking."

"That's true. My people prefer fruits and honey to fire. However, when I was a child, I knew a human who liked to make desserts. She told me that the way humans make friends is to share food. Since then, I have started to learn how to cook."

"It wasn't easy at the beginning. I could only follow the recipes, and I would occasionally burn myself or the elves would look down on such 'unclassy' activities. But after I successfully passed the courses, no one would say anything bad about me anymore."

I almost couldn't help laughing as I imagined little Odysseus carefully studying the recipe and occasionally getting startled by the splatter of oil.

The elf tilted his head a little sheepishly: "Does that sound weird?"

"No, it's cute."

"You might not even be as tall as the stove at that time, but it's really amazing that you can do this despite other people's disapproval."

"Thank you. It's not a big deal, but after hearing you say that, I'm glad I persisted."

The tip of the elf's ears turned slightly red, and he lowered his head unnaturally. I stopped teasing him and continued to write the report with a smile.

The wind blew in from the window, gently blowing his hair and the papers on my desk. For a moment, there was only the rustling of pages and the sound of the pen tip sliding on the paper. The ivy climbed outside the house, casting only an overly lush shadow.

It was not until the sun set that I barely finished today's task, and deep in my heart I missed my kingdom of God.

My life was so happy before, everyone spoke nicely and did things in a funny way. I could throw all my problems to those souls, and I just had to leisurely joke with them every day.

Now that I think about it, life without work is so blissful that it is unimaginable. I was distracted by these thoughts until I went out with the elf.

We walked side by side on the path, and there were few people in the garden at dusk. The female angel holding the water bottle lowered her eyes, and the spring water flowed out of it, colliding with the water surface to make a pleasant sound, full of elegance and ancient flavor.

The silver-edged flower delicately opened its curled petals, and the beautiful silver edges bathed in the sunset, emitting a subtle fragrance.

The elf narrowed his eyes slightly, and the afterglow fell on his eyelashes. The light was golden and subtle. We chatted casually, and when we talked about interesting things, Odysseus smiled. He turned his head to look at me, his silver hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, washing away the dreamy dim fire.

The scene was beautiful, brilliant and bright.

I looked at him like this and smiled gently. A butterfly with charming scales flew between us and landed on the end of the elf's hair, gently fluttering its wings.

"It's another nice day today."

*

So from that day on, I had to walk with Odysseus every day while trying to persuade him to give up this idea. Although the elf looked gentle, he never gave in on this matter.

It was drizzling today, so I took an umbrella with me when I went out. I opened the umbrella and asked Odysseus, "You don't seem to have an umbrella with you, do you want to join me?"

The elf looked at me in surprise, then smiled happily: "If possible, I would like to try it."

Water drops fall along the edge of the umbrella, forming a silky curtain. The sound of rain is quiet and peaceful, adding a hazy and elegant flavor to the courtyard. Transparent water slides down the cheek of the statue, like drops of beautiful tears.

We walked side by side under the umbrella, and there were faint glowing shadows flying in the sky. They were little fairies born from the gathering of light elements, responsible for taking care of the flower garden. When it rained, they would run under the flowers to avoid getting their wings wet.

I watched this scene with great interest and noticed that the elf was looking at the raindrops dripping down the umbrella in lines, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Don't elves hold umbrellas when it rains?"

"There is magic. Being close to rain is a symbol of nature, and there is no need to avoid it unless necessary. Those druids will take the initiative to bathe in the rain, using this method to get close to nature. Whenever it rains in spring, the entire Elf Forest will become very beautiful. You can come and see it next spring. I will be happy to be your guide."

"That depends on whether I'm busy or not." I sighed. "Let alone going to the Elf Forest, I haven't even seen the Knight Commander for a while. I don't know what they are doing."

The elf lowered his eyelashes, revealing a thoughtful expression: "The Knight Commander and the others should be at the training ground. I've seen them all over there recently. Do you want to go and take a look?"

I looked up in surprise: "Is it okay?"

The elf's eyelashes were curved like a butterfly, and I only then noticed that even his eyelashes were silver-white. It was like a masterpiece carved by frost, snow and moonlight. The goddess of nature's love for beauty was fully expressed in him. When he looked up at me and smiled, even the moving rain scene was inferior to him.

"No problem. I asked you to walk with me, and I'm glad you agreed."

Under the guidance of Odysseus, I successfully found the knights who were in training. From a distance, I could see a large group of knights gathered together, seemingly watching something.

"Looks like we're just in time for the fun."

We didn't get too close and stopped at the edge. Even so, it was enough to see what was going on inside. It turned out that the knights were doing actual combat training. Looking closely, it turned out that the person standing opposite was Sean.

The rain soaked everyone's clothes and faces, but no one cared. Both participants and spectators were enthusiastically devoted to the competition. The werewolf held the sword in both hands, his pupils constricted, and his alertness was raised to the highest level. The knight standing opposite held a wooden stick in one hand, and his face was different from usual.

"Are you ready?"

The few words he said were as cold as if they were fished out of ice. I looked at him with a little curiosity. The dragon and the werewolf had complained to me before that the Knight Commander's training was too harsh, but I had never seen them fight.

The muscles in Sean's legs swelled. His body, which had been strengthened by the Beast God Ritual, rushed out at an astonishing speed. The sword in his hand smashed hard at the Knight Commander, and the surrounding knights opened their eyes wide and gasped in surprise.

Beings with divine powers were not something that ordinary people could defeat, but the Knight Commander was clearly not one of them. He held up the stick expressionlessly and blocked the attack under the protection of the pale golden energy.

Sean shook his entire body, his entire tail tensed. The Knight Commander did not hold back at all, and directly threw him away.

“Ahem…!”

Sean fell to the ground in a mess. The Knight Commander took a step forward, pressed the tip of his staff against the opponent's throat, and released a cold murderous aura.

"Stand up."

The werewolf gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet. Without a word of complaint, he silently grabbed the weapon that had been thrown out. The two sides fought again.

Odysseus's eyes showed surprise: "So the Knight Commander of the Radiant Church is so powerful?"

I smiled and didn't answer his question. Of course, it depends on which knight commander it is.

This is the best era. The new expansion is coming, and those with unique bloodlines will awaken in this wave. I can even say with certainty that the Knight Commander must be an important NPC, and his bloodline is destined to make him extraordinary.

Especially after the other [him] awakened.

As Sean fell to the ground again, someone finally noticed us. As the first knight shouted "Sir!", the rest of the people also looked over.

The Knight Commander stopped training, and the indifference on his face disappeared. He turned his head to look at us, and hurriedly leaned forward to salute:

Turned into an apologetic expression.

"Please forgive my indifference. I hope I didn't scare you, Master Saint?"

He looked no different than usual, still gentle and considerate. This was probably the main reason why no one noticed anything unusual about the Knight Commander who was truly in the right state.

I waved my hand: "We came here suddenly, I hope we didn't disturb you."

The elf beside him cooperated and looked apologetic: "I was the one who mentioned you were here. I'm very sorry."

As soon as he opened his mouth, I suddenly felt like a needle was piercing my back. I turned my head subconsciously and met Sean's gaze.

The werewolf got up from the ground, his body was dirty, he wiped the water that flowed down his cheeks, his gilded pupils were amazingly bright.

"Brother, why are you with him?"

After saying this, he seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his expression, and added stiffly: "Are you here to see me?"

This guy, it was so difficult to talk to him before, but today he actually came up to me on his own initiative. It seems that the Knight Commander's training is very effective.

I shook my head. "I came here because I saw it was very lively here when I was taking a walk with Odysseus."

"oh..."

The ears on Sean's head drooped down. Although his face still had a cool expression, the wolf ears looked a little unhappy.

"I thought my brother came to see me specially."

Odysseus narrowed his eyes slightly, half of his face was buried in the light and shadow cast by the umbrella, and I couldn't see his expression for a moment. Sean glanced at him and continued.

"Brother has been coming to talk to me before, but I was too busy to pay him any attention. After that, he has been training all the time. If brother is free, can I come to see you tonight?"

Everyone around me fell silent and looked at me. Sean looked at me expectantly. His dirty appearance reminded me of him when he was still young. The little one who suddenly bumped into my arms on the road. At that time, I hadn't experienced what happened later, and I hadn't planned to let him inherit the power of the beast god and use him for my use in the future.

I saved him at first because I was kindhearted. I don't seem to understand why the Book of the World said he admired me. Even though he has become a big wolf, he is probably still afraid of that painful memory in his heart.

He is just a child. I saved him from the slave traders, so it is inevitable that he will be admired.

Not only because of the Book of the World, but also because I want to make him as happy as possible.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but soften my brows: "Of course. You can come to me anytime you want."

"I know my brother treats me the best."

Sean's eyes lit up all of a sudden. He smiled at me and then looked at the elf, looking very sincere: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy with training to accompany my brother. I can only ask you to accompany him to relax."

The elf smiled. Although he was usually very handsome, he was glowing at this moment. "It's okay. I understand. The young animals in the forest will regard the first creature they see after opening their eyes as their parents. It's natural for him to like you."

Sean smiled brightly. "It seems that you have seen many such scenes. You must have been a parent before. It sounds really interesting. The followers of the Goddess of Nature are really kind. I wish I could go to the Elf Forest and see this scene."

"When An comes to visit the Elf Forest next spring, you can go with him. I will control the elves that are hostile to the orcs."

"If my brother goes, I will definitely go too. After all, I will always be with him and won't leave him alone."

The two sides were chatting and laughing. I stood next to the Knight Commander and watched this scene. I couldn't help but sigh: "They have a really good relationship."

The Knight Commander was stunned for a moment, and asked me in surprise: "Do you really think so?"

I nodded in surprise as well. I don't know why, but I always felt that his smile had a hint of helplessness.

"The Elf Saint is a proud person, so he will naturally not have conflicts with Sean. As for Sean... maybe things will get better later. Did it cause you any trouble? Lord Saint. If you don't like this, I will keep them quiet."

"It's okay, that's good. By the way, where's Neil?"

"He... the human training method is not suitable for dragons, so I handed him over to the dragons of the church. If you want to see him, he will be very happy."

I don't think Neil will be happy. He managed to avoid contact with those dragons, but you sent him back.

I sighed softly, "I know. I'll pick him up in the next few days."

He must have been exhausted during this period of time. It was not easy to stay with those old and powerful glorious dragons.

"Sir Saint really likes Neil very much. It's worth it that he has been thinking about you all the time."

"He is my contractor, so of course we miss each other. When I was out on the mission, I was thinking about you, Knight Commander. I wonder if your injuries have healed?"

The Knight Commander was stunned for a moment, and his originally smooth speech suddenly paused. He tilted his head and hid his expression under his helmet.

I couldn't see his face clearly. For a knight, scars are a symbol of honor, but for the Knight Commander, he actually prefers to hide these honors from the people around him. This is a man who is so gentle that when he speaks, the wind seems to be gentle.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now. The rain is too heavy. You two should go back early."

After saying this, the Knight Commander looked at Sean with a normal expression on his face: "Sean, your training is not yet complete."

The wolf cub, who was chatting animatedly with someone, paused for a moment and said "oh" reluctantly. The Knight Commander gave me an apologetic smile and left with a large group of knights.

I watched them leave, then looked back at Odysseus: "I'm sorry, I was supposed to take a walk with you, but you ended up staying with me in the Knights for so long. It must have been a bit difficult for you."

After all, I have a special identity, and coming here specifically to the knights could easily make me be accused of gathering information. I just suddenly thought of this after the knight commander left.

The latter shook his head: "Nothing, just one thing..."

He suddenly lowered his head and looked at me intently. The distance was so close that I could clearly see his slightly trembling eyelashes. The elf's voice was low and soft, almost inaudible in the sound of the rain.

"Can I come to see you tonight?"

It was at this moment that something in my arms suddenly felt hot.

I was stunned for a moment, staring into the pair of emerald green eyes that were so close to me. My mind was completely focused on the book in my arms.

Who triggered it this time? Let me see!

In this excitement, I nodded without hesitation and agreed to the other party's words, just asking him to leave as soon as possible.

The elf left satisfied after getting the answer he wanted. I stood alone under the umbrella and took out the book from my arms.

The third page of the book has been opened, and it clearly reads:

[Odysseus, the Son of Nature, is curious about you]
