Chapter 4: Unexpected troubles
Monia is not an elf in the true sense of the word, and she can't move around the trees flexibly like an elf. Although www.biquge.info had never fallen from a tree, he remembered the crown of an ancient tree that was much higher than the average tower, and the mage instinctively feared the consequences of falling from the sky.
In particular, she doesn't know how to feather.
If she climbs to a high place and accidentally falls, she will really be finished, and maybe she will become the first mage in history to fall from a tree and fall to her deathβthe reason why she is not the first mage to fall to her death is because countless sages have paid for it in the early days of the First Age's research on flying spells. There are not a few mages who have died because of their magic research, but if she did miss while climbing a tree, she could be the first mage to die tragically for such a hilarious reason.
She didn't want to go down in history like that.
"I'm still ......"
Opening her mouth, Monia wanted to say something to refuse, but Lahana had already spoken: "There is another more troublesome thing, that is, the custody of those two children, I asked about the two children in the registry office before, they want you to be their guardian, but Monia's Excellency ...... According to the Elven Code, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome for you to collect custody. β
"Troublesome?" Monia's proposal was swallowed into her stomach, her brows furrowed slightly, and she repeated, not thinking about what was in trouble for a while, until she accidentally glanced at the height of the female knight, and she faintly realized what was more troublesome.
That's age.
Although she is more than three hundred years old this year, she still looks like an elf toddler, not much older than Fana and Lil. And with elves, a group with a long life cycle and relatively low reproductive power, they will definitely attach great importance to the immature young elves, and it is not surprising that there are written laws.
"Can't you be accommodating?"
Despite knowing that it was unlikely, the mage asked.
"I'm sorry, they're not mages yet." Ravana shook her head and continued, "Besides, it's not necessarily possible to be a mage. Monia, a mage has many privileges and is vaguely outside the system of power, but as ...... as you are So...... Well, the young mage, it seems that it has not appeared yet, so you need to go to the mage association to declare, stamp, and then hand over the file to the relevant departments, and only after getting it approved can you live alone. β
"Really?" Monia muttered to herself, nodded, bit her lip slightly, and didn't speak again.
After a while, the mage asked, "Why haven't you come out yet, Fana and Lil?" β
"They're probably throwing a tantrum," Lavana said with a helpless look at the two sisters, "and the guardian wanted to fill in your name when you registered, but it was denied. The registered elf has a somewhat troubled personality, and he insists on helping them find a guardian, and I am sandwiched in the middle, and I am not a human inside or outside. β
"And it is." Monia could understand Lahuana's feelings, and looked at the knight in front of her who had become a moon guard at a young age, and suddenly an idea popped up, thinking about this method is indeed the best way at the moment, "Lahuana, what is your impression of Fana and Lil?" β
"They are all poor children," said Lahuana very seriously, "so much to urinate and lose their parents, and one to lose their voice, the other to lose their light, fate is really too cruel to them. β
"I'm not asking this," Monia hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm asking what your impression of them is?" β
"Isn't that an impression?" Lavana replied, seemingly aware of the meaning of the other party's words, and asked in a slightly hesitant tone, "Your ......Excellency Monia, what do you mean?"
"How about you being the guardian of the two of them?" The mage asked tentatively, she really didn't have much hope for custody, she didn't think that with the way she was now, she could snatch custody of themβthank God she hadn't taken custody of herself, who had ever seen a girl who was less than ten years old by sheer appearance adopt a child who was not a few years younger than herself? In contrast, Lajuana is a good choice.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Monia noticed in the course of their interactions that the young Moon Guard was a gentle, loving, and responsible person. Both the mage herself and the two sisters Fanariel have a certain affection for her. Besides, they didn't know each other well in the Elven Forest, so she was obviously the only and best choice.
"Me?" Lavana hesitated.
"It's okay," Monia could understand the hesitation, there were very few people who wouldn't hesitate in this kind of thing, "don't embarrass yourself, it's just an offer." β
"This proposal ......," Lavana mused, and then a smile bloomed on her face, "I didn't expect that I would have to have two children before I fell in love once in my life, and this feeling was ...... It's really subtle. β
"What do you mean......" To Monia's surprise, she didn't wait long before the female knight's reply came.
"I'll adopt them! Don't look surprised," Lavana looked at the mage with a surprised and inexplicable look a little funny, shaking her head in a chic manner, her long emerald green hair flying, "I like these two little guys, they have already suffered too much, I can't bear to let them continue to suffer." Since I can't let go of them and have the ability to accept them, what is there to hesitate about? β
Before the mage could reply, she walked towards the treehouse at the registry office.
"Really, in the end, it's still me who can't let go?" Monia watched the departing back of the female knight, smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then followed, entering the treehouse of the registry office with the other party. Surprisingly, it looked like there was a hole in the small treehouse, and at least a dozen people sitting in it didn't look crowded at all.
Perhaps because of the familiarity, the first thing the mage saw when he came in was Fana and Lil, the two of them standing together, pursed lips, not saying a word. In stark contrast was an older female elf beside them, who was constantly persuading the two little girls.
Monia listened patiently to a paragraph and found that what she said made sense, but whether she could accept it or not was another matter. As she watched them, Liel apparently spotted her, and her eyes lit up, tugging at her sister's sleeve and running away without looking back, leaving the older elf standing stunned.
After waiting for a while, as if she had only reacted, she said to them in a not too loud voice: "Wait, stop me, wait for me to speak!" β
Hearing her words, Fana and Lil couldn't help but quicken their pace, and Monia couldn't help but wonder - is this elf troublesome, or is it a chatter?
But these were the details, and when he saw Lavana walk up to negotiate with her, the mage knew that this was the end of the matter. Although the female knight has a lot of respect for her and has no arrogance for people, her status as a moon guard, as the master of the extraordinary power of the elves, is very useful, and she is also a figure with a head and face in the Elven Forest, and it is not very difficult to deal with these things, especially when it makes sense.
As Monia expected, it didn't take long for Lahuana to complete all the formalities, walk up to Fana and Lil, pick them up one by one, and say in a gentle voice: "From today onwards, we will be a family, Yujafana, Yugariel, please advise!" β
Fana and Lil didn't struggle, just stared blankly.
"Fana, Lil," Monia explained, coughing, "I can't be your guardian, but Lavana can, get along with her." β
"Monia, liar." Fana said this, but she didn't show obvious disgust. From the beautiful smiles on the faces of the two girls, the mage knew that they didn't really care about it, they were just complaining.
That's good, Monia breathed a sigh of relief when she found that things were going in a good direction, but then Lahua Napu's ordinary words made her feel like she had been poured a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe.
"Your Excellency Monia, it's been so much time, let's go, let's go and stay with me today."
As soon as the mage wanted to refuse, she looked up and saw Liel grimacing at her, and then the figures of the three of them faded away, and she could only open her mouth without making a sound.
Really, it doesn't give me a chance to say no......
Complaining in her heart, Monia quickly followed, and then continued to climb up the trunk of the tree.
Climbing is a very boring thing for a mage, if it is about five steps as a floor, the registration office is roughly on the second floor, and Lahuana's treehouse is about twelve to thirteen stories high, converted to the length unit of the previous life, the location of the female knight's treehouse is at least a hundred meters, thinking about the long and repetitive climb after that, her head hurts faintly.
Monia just thought about it boringly, and kept up with Lahuana's movements. There was only one female knight by her side now, and Fana and Liel had already ridden the Jungle Panther, and if they didn't follow her movements, it would be bad if they were left behind.
Thinking so, she let go of the old skin she grasped, and suddenly she couldn't grasp her balance, and leaned back, only to let out an exclamation, and then fell down. At this moment, Lahuana, who was beside her, reacted immediately, flipped over, and grabbed the mage's hands in time. However, the smile on the female knight's face did not bloom, and she froze completely, she did not think about her own safety in a hurry, and it sounded beautiful to hang her body upside down, but there was no spider silk on her feet, and the trunk was too thick to coil......
So the two of them fell down together.
Monia was about to spit out a wind-summoning spell to slow down their castration, but Lahuana's response was completely unexpected - the female knight didn't hesitate when she noticed something was wrong, and flipped over again, holding her in her arms. Maybe it was because of nervousness, maybe it was because the situation was too urgent, she hugged it very hard, the cold armor pressed against the mage's chest, and Monia's spell turned into a choking sound of "woo" as soon as she spit it out.
"Woo...... Lahuana! β
The mage's voice turned into a whine in the howling wind, the only thing to be thankful for was that this position was not too high from the ground, and with the physical fitness of the female knight and the protection of the strong current, at most there were some minor injuries.
It's just that the next development once again surprised the mage, they did not fall directly to the ground as they imagined, the delicate branches of the ancient tree seemed to have their own consciousness, moving from all directions, forming a dense net, holding them from the fate of falling to the ground.
It's just that in the falling leaves, they are inevitably embarrassed.
"It's ......"
"This is the will of Aruba, it will guard every elf, we will take care of it, it will prune its branches, it will remove the moths, it will keep us safe, it will provide us with water." Noticing the confusion on Monia's face, Lavana explained as she cleaned up the fallen leaves that had been stuck on the mage's face.
"That...... Thank you very much. "Although that embrace is neither warm nor comfortable, on the contrary, it is very choking, but the feeling of someone who is so desperate to protect himself in times of crisis is really touching.
"Nothing, I just did what I was supposed to do, Your Excellency." Lahana smiled in response, she was much more embarrassed than the mage, and there were a few marks on her cheeks that had been whipped by the forest branches, in addition to the fallen leaves. Looking at these scars, Monia felt very uncomfortable. So she stretched out her hand and chanted a incantation, the graceful elven language like a song, a little light converging on her fingertips, and then she tried to stand on tiptoe and caress the wound on the female knight's cheek.
"It's ...... Healing spells? Feeling the cold itch at the wound, Lavana opened her mouth in surprise, as a warrior, she was no stranger to this feeling, it was the feeling of applying medicine when injured, "Thank you, Monia." β
"You don't have to call me Your Excellency," the mage frowned slightly, this title made her a little uncomfortable, a little nasty, "just call me Monia." β
"Very well, little Monia." Lavana smiled and greeted her seriously.
"Don't call me small, don't put a strange prefix in front of me." The mage forced a cold tone of refusal.
"Alright, little Monia, let's keep climbing the tree."
"Still climbing?"
The mage's focus has shifted again.
"Well, it's impossible for Aruba to send you up."
Lavana smiled, but in Monia's eyes, her smile was so ill-intentioned.
Hey, hey! What about your previous respect? Could it be that a different name would have changed so much!?
The mage roared inwardly, then succumbed to reality.
After all, the road has to be walked step by step.
Trees, after all, have to be climbed piece by piece.
People cannot choose to stand still, they must choose to move forward.
