"Master, we already have no food......"

The little Lori in black handed the last biscuit to the silver-haired girl who was sitting on the ground with her head buried deep in her arms.

After a long while, a weak voice came from the silver-haired girl's arm:

Stephanie ...... Show me her message again. ”

She sat there motionless, and slowly raised her head, revealing an extremely haggard face.

The beautiful eyes were already sunken at this time, and the eyes were as dull as a dead man, and the long hair that had been smooth and silky had become unkempt, and a few strands of hair were curled and stretched outward, like branches lacking moisture on a dead tree, fluttering up and down in the sea breeze.

"Here, master."

The little Lori in black brought up the information panel, which showed Natia Vida's information.

"Genie Tensei (199/364999.99)"

The silver-haired girl read the numbers in a low voice, closed her eyes, and buried her head back in her arms.

"Why is ......it so slow?"

Her voice seemed to be sobbing, but in fact the tears had dried up many days earlier, and she couldn't cry at all.

"Master, are you going to wait here all the time?"

The little Lori in black rubbed her eyes sadly:

"It won't take long at all, and you'll die in more than ten days if you go on like this!"

"It's okay."

The silver-haired girl whispered:

"And the light of job transfer...... If I'm really dying, you can use it once, I remember giving you permission. ”

"Sister Stephanie, when will the master give me a name?"

A white thing floated over.

Looking at the lifeless owner, its words were full of grievances:

"It's been many days, and the owner has been this lifeless look. They won't give me a name. ”

"The master is sad now, let's not bother her for the time being."

The little Lori in black has no choice, as long as she comforts it:

"Can you go around the neighborhood first?" But don't get too far away, there might be bad guys out there......"

Sending away the elemental shards, she scouted the newly formed island as usual, circling around.

"It's been a long time since I've been inside. Go check it out. ”

She looked at the lush bushes next to the giant tree and plunged into it.

Because the mission ended very suddenly, a little earlier than expected, the rest of the food was quite sufficient.

After trying to persuade them to no avail, the other team members all left with a sigh.

The warm embrace of the werewolf princess did not make the silver-haired girl change her mind, she stubbornly waited here for her beloved girl to wake up, and refused to leave the giant tree for half a step.

"Master!"

The little Lori in black flew back excitedly:

"Come on, I see what the half-elves left behind!"

The word half-elf stirred Natsu's numb brain, and her body trembled. Got up from the ground.

Probably because she hadn't eaten and moved normally for too long, she felt that her legs were a little uncontrollable, but she still limped step by step and walked with difficulty in the direction pointed by the little Lori in black.

That's where the half-elf girl disappeared.

But unlike the blood on the ground before, the ground is full of small golden flowers, swaying in the green blades of grass, and the tip of the nose can smell a fresh aroma, which is refreshing.

"Flower of the Stars...... Nana's favorite ......"

Natsu felt her breath stop.

With heavy steps, she slowly walked to the place where the golden flowers bloomed. Bend down and carefully stroke the petals on it.

In the eyes that had been dry for a long time, crystal tears fell drop by drop. Splashed the delicate blades of grass.

The silver-haired girl plucked a few Star Flowers, activated the Wind Elemental and flew to the top of the World Tree, placing them under the shining fruit.

The elf in the fruit seemed to feel something, and its small body writhed.

However, she couldn't seem to open her eyes, and soon fell back into a deep sleep, and the silver-haired girl looked at her infatuatedly. I tried to touch the surface of the fruit with my hand, but was bounced away by the white light.

The World Tree did not allow her to touch it.

Its duty is to provide full protection for the reincarnated elves, and no one is allowed to interfere with the process.

"Master, you're here too."

A white thing appeared between the dense branches and leaves, and the summer queen flew over happily.

"It's a lot of fun."

It chirps:

"I don't know where a lot of birds came from. They're flying around in the leaves! ”

Perhaps because the elements were restored to normality, the surroundings of the World Tree gradually began to come to life.

More and more birds are discovering this area full of life energy and starting to settle here, making the previously silent giant trees lively.

But the leaves of the World Tree are not available to anyone, and these birds will bounce off just by touching the leaves, so they don't get the power of magical leaves, and are still just some ordinary birds.

The World Tree seemed to be guarding the small fruit as if it were its own child, if it weren't for Natsu carrying the shard of the god it was familiar with, and having a deep attachment to the girl in the fruit, it would have been hit mercilessly hundreds of meters away, and it would not have been able to get close to this place at all.

"Are you...... Elemental mana shards. ”

Xia finally came to his senses.

For the first time in so many days, she faced up to this little thing that had been entangled around her.

It stands to reason that it is the reason why I am here, but I may think that what happened to Nati Yavida has something to do with it, and as soon as I see it during this time, I will feel irritated for no reason.

"It's me...... Master. ”

The elemental magic fragment was stared at by her lifeless eyes, shrank slightly, and replied with some fear.

"Come on."

Seeing its cringe, Xia sighed lightly in his heart and stretched out his hand to it:

"- Do not be afraid, come to me."

The white thing glanced at the little Lori in black, and under her encouraging eyes, she carefully flew to the hand, just touching the skin of the palm. A line of prompts appeared in front of Xia's eyes:

"Unknown object discovered."

"Identifying...... Successful identification! ”

"--You found a fragment of elemental mana."

"Elemental Mana Shard: The source of elemental magic, holding it will give you special rewards."

"Special Reward 1: Regeneration, the holder's body will have the ability to regenerate, the recovery rate is proportional to its own attributes, the higher the attributes, the faster the recovery;"

"Special Reward 2: Increased vitality, the holder will greatly increase the body attributes. Increases the holder's maximum health. ”

"Special Reward 3......"

The white mist jumped curiously on her hand, rubbing her slender fingers, and the touch seemed to be a ball of soft cotton moving around.

"Sister Stephanie, the aura emanating from the master's body feels so comfortable."

It quickly fell in love with the feeling and began to roll in Natsu's hands.

"Like Stephanie, can you take on various forms?"

Xia asked in a low voice:

"Can it be turned into a ......?"

Halfway through this sentence, she felt a pang of heartache:

What are you doing?

- Natya Vida is obviously not dead!

"Master, you can do whatever you want me to become, but you have to promise me a nice name."

Elemental mana shards rubbed against her hands:

"Sister Stephanie has a great name. I also want a ......"

The silver-haired girl looked at it, thought for a long time, and slowly spoke:

"Irene."

"—your name is Irene."

"Hehe, this seems to mean peace in the old saying."

Suddenly the voice of the lich sounded behind him:

"My fellow, it seems that even after a stormy baptism, you are still immersed in beautiful fantasies, which is not a good sign."

"I've lost my illusions, Fernanxi."

The silver-haired girl looked at the fruit in front of her and said:

"I just want to be by her side quietly."

"When we leave the road to the end. There were several attacks along the way. ”

The lich made a message:

"The wolf girl is injured......"

"-What did you say!!"

Xia Huoran turned around and looked at it.

"Don't worry."

The lich sticks out his finger bones. Made a safe gesture:

"It's just a few minor injuries, and everyone else is fine."

“……”

Natsu fell silent and turned his head back.

"Do you see the situation you're facing now?"

The lich flew to her side, looked at the fruit as well, and said:

"Whatever you get out of that tree, I'm sure it will soon be known to someone who cares, and then ...... They're going to come and get you in trouble. ”

"So what?"

Xia Shen said:

"Just let them come."

"Huh. That's a good mentality. ”

The lich laughed:

"A strong person should have this kind of momentum, but have you thought about the consequences?"

"Your enemy...... Or that we still have many enemies. ”

It took out a quaint-looking sword from under its dark robe and threw it at the silver-haired girl:

"They're not going to bother you alone."

The silver-haired girl's ears twitched slightly, and she reached out to catch the sword.

"What is this?"

Her hand sank slightly, and her gaze moved to the sword in her hand.

"The rudiments of the Supreme Artifact—so to speak."

The lich's voice was full of regret:

"There is not enough material. My partner; Even with half of the fragments of the Glenhill Sword and half of the Sealed Sword, we still lack a lot of accessories to make a Supreme Artifact. ”

"Supreme Artifact...... You're so ambitious. ”

The corners of Natsu's mouth curved slightly.

She seemed to want to laugh, but she couldn't.

"So I'm going to take a trip to my hometown, and then drop by to the abyss of hell and see if I can find anything suitable."

The lich uttered the words of farewell:

"I have a few other things to do...... So it's going to be a long journey, and I have to tell you lest you think I'm missing. ”

"Just do what you want."

Xia said with a depressed expression:

"I'll keep this sword for you for the time being, and I'll do the final forging when you come back."

"But before I leave, I have something to say."

The lich's voice was stern:

Maybe these words are hard to hear, harsh. It can even make you angry, sad, sad...... Even so, you have to listen to it. ”

"I'll listen."

Natsu's body shook a little, sat down on a branch, and said dejectedly:

"What could be more sad and sad for me right now? You just say yes. ”

"Remember what I told you?"

The lich said in a gloomy tone:

"Overabundance of sympathy and pity is your biggest problem at the moment. Although your strength has improved, your mentality is still far from that of a real strongman, and sooner or later you will suffer a big loss...... And now that prophecy has been fulfilled. ”

"--If you had used that sword to destroy the Black Calamity in the first place, the half-elf would not have died!"

"-If you'd listen to me and give her the Soul Eater powder, she might lose some of her memories now, but she'll still be by your side."

Speaking of this, it slowed down slightly:

"And ...... I've noticed that you're very impatient, even though it's a common problem with humans as creatures. ”

"The Black Calamity is what silences us. That's because it has terrifying strength! ”

"But as long as you learn the elemental domination, whether on that island or in the depths of the sea; The Elder Mage's stunts can make you comfortable against that knight, and you're so bent on rushing forward that you're missing out on this opportunity. ”

“……”

Natsu buried her head between her legs.

The lich's words left her speechless.

"Take a mirror and see what you look like now."

Without mercy, the lich continued:

"Decadent, helpless, confused. Weak...... Where is there still a little bit of a strong man's appearance? Reincarnation is a long process, if it goes on as you are. How much will you lose by the day she actually wakes up? Will she really feel happy when she sees you like this? ”

"I heard that you still have a lot of female friends, what about these people?"

"Except for the wolf girl, who may live for more than a thousand years, how long can the rest of the people live? Will you cry like this again, immersed in grief and unable to extricate yourself? ”

"Don't talk about it......"

Natsu buried her head deeper.

Tears kept flowing. The wrinkled swordsman's suit was soaked, and the other party's words were so terrible that she felt her heart break just by imagining it.

"You've got a lot of potential, why don't you try to change it, mate."

The lich sighed:

"Give up the confusion. Cutting off the weak ...... Become bold, this is the way of the real strong! The people who can break through the shackles are all of this type, and it is impossible for the mentally weak to step into the threshold of the god level......"

"Change...... ? ”

The lich's words didn't last long, and when it was gone, the silver-haired girl looked up sadly.

The sea breeze that blew between the branches and leaves ruffled her long hair, and her expression gradually became resolute as she gazed at the little girl in the fruit.

"I have a name!"

Elemental mana shards flew around happily there: "Erin, Erin, hee-hee-hee......"

"Erin, come here."

The silver-haired girl said to it.

When it flew in front of her, the girl gently touched the top of its head with one hand:

"Become what you like...... This may be the last time I will be willful. ”

Her voice was gentle, and the elemental mana fragment fluttered for a moment before she realized that this was the master's first order to it.

The white body shone with golden arcs of electricity, gradually getting bigger.

After the dazzling flash, a girl appeared in the dense foliage, covered in green.

Her hair is green, her eyes are green, her shoes are green, and the dress on her body is green.

There is also a small collar on the slender neck, and the skin is as white and smooth as fresh milk, although it is different from the extremely delicate beauty of the little Lori in black, but it exudes a vigorous and delicate atmosphere.

"Master—"

The little green Lori pounced on her master and hugged her happily.

"Congratulations, the main quest has made heavy progress! Another step forward on the road to godhood. ”

A golden hint popped up in front of Natsu's eyes.

"Main Quest: The Path to Godhood."

"Step 1: Search for the Eight Pieces of God: Progress (2/8)"

1。 Dark Mana Shards: Enter the Depths of Hell to obtain the Dark Mana Shards from the Lord of the Abyss, the source of dark magic.

8。 （？ ）

"You've got an upgrade item, the Soul Nucleus."

"Soul Crystal Nucleus: You can unconditionally upgrade any class to one rank. Note: Class effects that reach the peak of the fifth class transfer will be halved. ”

"Since you have two God Shards, you will receive various hidden bonuses, so please be aware of the changes around you."

The previous hint was okay, but the last sentence made her a little confused.

"Various hidden bonuses? What does that mean. ”

She looked at her attribute panel suspiciously, and found that there was no special change except for a large increase in her body.

"Master, look here!"

The little Lori in black suddenly flew over excitedly, pointing to Natia Vida's information panel and shouting.

I saw that the long series of numbers changed:

Character Name: Natya Vida. Vicky. Iotarlu

Race: Elf

Level: 0

Current Status: Genie Tensei (52771/364999.99) (To be continued......)
