The newspaper staff quickly finished their lunch and left.
The industrious goblins quickly delivered their 'takeout' to the Elf King and his wife.
Li Aili looked at the busy green goblins, stroked her chin and seriously considered: Should we let the devil do some takeout?
This should shorten the time it takes them to achieve their goals.
In some corner of the world, Claude, who had started personally 'delivering packages' due to a shortage of manpower, sneezed loudly.
Achoo—!
Li Aili decided to include the 'food delivery business' in her development plan for Hell.
"What are you doing here?" Arthur asked expressionlessly.
Fisher-Nankey maintained his smile and answered with his eyes: Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to see you?
"Darling~~" came the flower fairy's sweet voice.
Fisher-Nankey immediately turned around with a look of indulgence. "What is it?"
"What are you talking about?" she asked, cupping her oval face in her hands and looking at him with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Li Aili also looked at Arthur curiously.
Arthur: "It's nothing."
Almost simultaneously, Fisheranki said, "We're talking about serious matters."
Li Aili, Flower Fairy: "..."
Fisher-Nankey said seriously, "We're about to get down to business."
Fishernanki looked at Li Aili: "You'd better listen to this matter too, sister."
So, Li Aili sat down next to Arthur.
While feeding Alice, Fishernaki said, "In fact, I received a divine message from the High Priest of the Elven Temple."
Li Aili and Arthur exchanged a glance.
During the Holy Dragon Era, because the Tankar elves sided with the Holy Dragon Empire, they were exiled from 'Paradise' by the elves.
They have no choice but to live on human territory.
The Elven Temple was built in the Elven habitat.
These two are unlikely to have a very pleasant conversation.
"Although I got rid of those annoying guys."
Fei Shennan helped the flower fairy peel the fruit and cut it into small, evenly sized pieces.
After finishing these tasks, he gently pushed the fruit platter towards Alice, who was enjoying the food, and then looked up at Arthur.
"However, they left behind an interesting message."
"The divine essence of Cupid has disappeared."
Arthur frowned slightly.
He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "This doesn't seem to be a problem I need to worry about."
Fisheranki nodded. "The Grim Reaper of the Underworld has disappeared. Do you think you have anything to do with this?"
"Death?" Arthur retorted.
Fisheranki tapped his fingers on the table a few times. "The clandestine forces of the six great empires are searching for a treasure."
“‘Pink, jewel-like, you feel a magical power when you look at it.’ Doesn’t that description sound a lot like a deity?”
Arthur stared at Fisheranaki, who was circling around in circles. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
“I have this idea. Do you think there might be a madman in this world who is secretly collecting the divine essence of God?” Fisheranki asked.
Arthur looked at Fisheranaki.
Time slips away, tick by tick by.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Just as Li Aili was wondering whether she should smooth things over, Arthur spoke up.
"That thing, even a mortal, no, even a saint-level being would be in deep trouble if they had it."
Arthur retorted, "Does anyone want to die? Collecting this?"
Fishernanki leaned back in his chair, squinting at Arthur, and said, "Oh. Well, then I guess I was overthinking it."
After lunch, Ellie and Alice took a walk.
The two men kept a distance from them, falling far behind.
In contrast to the silence that followed, the two best friends chatted non-stop.
“Ah~ Actually…” Alice touched her belly and said, “I heard from the elves that after Tankar became powerful, the elven habitat has been sending people to mend relations.”
"But my dear has always kept people out."
"But... it was only recently, after we talked things out, that he started corresponding with them."
Li Aili asked, "Over there? The Elf Temple?"
Alice nodded. "Angris, the goddess of life, the second queen of the elven gods, you know her, right?"
Li Aili nodded.
This elven deity has always been a subject of great interest to bards.
The reason is simple: His life was very dramatic.
His first wife was the creator of the dark elves, but... this goddess cheated on the elven god.
Enraged, the elven god exiled his first wife.
Then, the second wife that the chief god of the elves married was this goddess of life.
The flower fairy twisted her arms behind her back, kicked away a small pebble on the road, and asked in a dejected tone:
"Is it possible that, darling, you're making peace with those elven temples because of our child?"
Li Aili: "..."
Alice looked at Li Aili, "Sister, rather than let those bad guys who bullied my husband take our money..."
She grabbed Li Aili tightly, "I might as well give you the money!"
Li Aili: "…………"
She was baffled by the flower fairy's thought process.
The flower fairy said, "What I mean is, my dear is just worried about whether the baby will be born smoothly and whether there will be any problems during my delivery."
"Hey!"
"You know his bad temper."
"They've made things difficult for those people in the Elf Temple all these years."
"Now, it seems like my situation is his Achilles' heel."
