Chapter 122: A good son of the abyss will also feel melancholy

There's a lot going on today...... I didn't remember that I forgot to update until I went to bed, sorry...... The most practical way to confirm the Elven Princess's claims about the World Tree Seeds is to achieve André's ambitious goal of spreading the river transportation system and trade network connected by the Emerald River to every corner of the ancient forest. It is rare that His Excellency the High Priest ended today's lesson early, and Andre is like a primary school student whose teacher has no homework today, and he can't wait to complete his grand plan with practical actions.

However, in a small, brightly lit room, Iyeta, who watched the Children of the Abyss run out of the library, did not leave. The elderly man casually flipped through the books in his hand, as if he was preparing something for tomorrow's teaching.

"Your Excellency High Priestess, may I disturb you for a moment?" Princess Irion, who seemed to be swaying in her heart, appeared at the door of the room.

"Of course, your beautiful Highness. The High Priest narrowed her wrinkled eyes and gently put the book in her hand on the bookshelf behind her, "Your Highness came to me, an old woman who is about to enter the earth, because you want to know more about the young son of the abyss, right?"

"Yes, honorable elder. I just realized that I had a one-sided understanding of the alien leader. You've been guiding him through our history and culture all this time, right? I would like to hear what you think of him with the wisdom of an elder like you. The young princess played with her hair a little uneasily, and sat gently beside the high priest.

The silver-haired elder didn't say much, but handed the heavy book on the table that had been used for teaching today into Illion's hand.

"'The History of the Expansion of the Whispering Forest of Ziara'? Are you deliberately introducing him to the sages who have made great contributions to the prosperity of the kingdom? As an ancestor who also received the seed of 'Hera', the life and deeds of the great sage Ziara should be enough to point the way for this stage of his life?"

"I'm not sure if the Great Sage Ziara will be his spiritual mentor, and that's not really the point I'm trying to talk about, my child. Staring at the glowing tree in the room, the aged high priest seemed to be trying to remember the day of the ceremony a month ago, when the light of the goddess in the temple was much brighter than it was now.

"Actually, when the goddess gave him the seed of Hera, I found it more difficult to accept than anyone present. A young son of the abyss, no matter how much Yudeon and His Highness Roseanne held him in high esteem, it could not change the fact that he was a candidate for a demon king. I knew that the goddess had chosen him naturally because of the great wisdom that I could not understand, and because of the will of the earth, it was precisely because of my curiosity about this young man that I took upon myself the task of guiding him to the culture of the elves. ”

As if something particularly interesting had come to mind, a simple smile appeared on the elder's face, and the smile was so simple, like a young child dreaming of a hut of sweets and snacks in his sleep.

"I have never seen a young man so effective in acquiring knowledge! he has been half a pupil of mine for less than a month, and all the etiquette and basic moral expositions have been completed. I didn't go out of my way to explain the life of the great sage Ziala to him, but I was copying the most common traditional way and proceeding normally according to the direction of history. In just one month, he had already learned about the Great Sage Ziara along the chronicles!"

"Are you saying that it only took him one month to comprehend the more than 3,000 years of history of Garlanord!?" The young princess's green eyes widened, if he could have such an otherworldly learning ability, he might be able to know the elf's tens of thousands of years of history in less than half a year.

"Less than a month, my Highness. During this time, he also completed the practice of etiquette and traditional morality, and although he could not remember the specific years and months of those important events, he had reached a level of comprehension and enlightenment that history had given us. In two months at most, this unconventional son of the abyss will be able to graduate from me. ”

"Your Excellency, you have said that your experience and wisdom are not just thousands of years of history written on the pages of a book. Illion's expression was solemn and reassuring.

Her Excellency Iyeta is one of the few people in the mortal world who is closest to the goddess outside of the elven royal family. She can only be compared to the leader of the druids, the king of the hills of the north, and the earth prophet of the orc tribe.

"It's not what you think, Your Highness. He was able to draw such rich and profound insights from history on his own without the guidance of others, and his life experience may not be as simple as we see. But he was so young, and even by the standards of our elves, he was just a newborn baby. ”

If the elves, one old and one young, knew that in that distant otherworldly country known as Huaxia, many young people possessed the ability to eat those books that "covered the laws of all things" in just a few days and achieve the desired results in the "trial", I don't know how they would feel.

The High Priest slowly rose from his seat, turned and walked to the window, pushing the thin planked window wider. Outside the window, there was an oncoming breath of life, and the elven princess followed only behind her.

"Unbelievable, isn't it?" the elder gently took the young highness's hands, his loose skin gently wrapping his delicate and slender fingers, "Sometimes I even feel scared...... If all the demons have such an incredible foundation of wisdom and learning ability, and such an astonishing growth rate like him, then what are we going to do to fight against those of us who claim to have a long history but are always stagnant compared to him? I want to do my best to subtly make his standards of good and evil and preferences closer to ours. But I found that although he was very respectful and polite to me, he always firmly believed in his own set of standards. A particular set of arguments, which I cannot find many strong counter-arguments, is more realistic than the way of nature that our elves admire, which is sufficient for a people to preserve itself and grow even in troubled times. ”

"Thank you, dear elder. I think I've got the answer I wanted. Andrarui and its leader are bound to become an unstoppable new force if given the opportunity, right?" Illion smiled with relief, feeling that she was a little too sensitive like the High Priest. Since the goddess Garlandia has chosen to trust the young child of the abyss, he must not pose a threat or harm to the Whispering Forest and the elves that live in it.

The Goddess is so merciful, how can she bear to allow her chosen people to hurt her own children?

However, the High Priest, who was observing the Children of the Abyss every day, had a different idea, "About this...... I can't give a definite answer. ”

"Why is that?, don't you already see his efforts and wisdom very clearly?" "What is the reason for such a clever man to fail? The stories may sound simple, but Illion understands that if it were him, he might feel helpless against the difficulties and obstacles. The queen of the elven kingdom is naturally noble and powerful, but that is because there is a whole powerful ancient kingdom behind her!

And what could the children of the abyss have at that time? a group of cowardly demons who were physically weak and had long since lost their fighting spirit?

"For even if you, me, Lordion, Roseanne, and even Her Majesty the Goddess believe that his wisdom and ability will bring unprecedented splendor to this land, there are still many in the forest who are hostile and suspicious of him. Some things are not as simple as black and white, and the young child of the abyss has even understood this truth a long time ago. Perhaps you can try to get in touch with him a little more, my Highness. ”

As the young princess walked out of the wooden gate of the royal library, carved with horned eagles and unicorns, with a more complicated mind than she had come, Illion still had a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't explain. She felt that every word spoken by His Excellency the High Priest should be true, and she supported the various attempts of the children of the abyss from the bottom of her heart. But the thought of that afternoon that made her blush instinctively turned averse to contact with Andre.

Even today, the young Highness mustered up the courage to appear here.

In the story of the children of the abyss, told by Judien and the eldest princess, he has done all kinds of incredible feats, and the high priest describes Andre with an understanding that ordinary people can't reach, and an enterprising spirit that no mortal can't match. It stands to reason that such a wonderful young man is the goal that she must learn from him and communicate with him, but deep down the young princess will always subconsciously resist staying with him.

After realizing how good he really was, Illion lost the courage to decide to come and see him in person. What really scares her is that if it weren't for that blushing and heart-pounding first encounter, things would probably have gone in the direction she wanted Mother Earth Goddess.

Yes. Such a wonderful, handsome, and blood-dwelling young man, sitting in an extraordinarily promising new territory right next to the forest—this is simply the perfect candidate for the future prince of this forest!

......

Unlike the elven princess, who inexplicably worries about some children's love alone, Andre also encounters something that bothers him. Although he had expected such a situation long before he came to Garanord, when the things he feared actually appeared in front of him, he realized that he was not fully prepared.

"Your Highness, think of a way! Once our reputation in Jingjia Lanord becomes irretrievable, business will not be able to continue at all!" The goblin manager cried with a helpless and miserable little green face, and almost ran to the nearby temples to pray like a goddess.

But this is only because this clever little man thinks that His Highness Andrew's method should be easier than the miracle of the goddess.

"This ...... Let me think about it first......" The Son of the Abyss uncharacteristically took out a bottle of green amber and two white porcelain cups from the cabinet, "Why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

Andrei motioned for his temporary secretary and manager to sit next to him. Even he didn't expect that his first thought when faced with those embarrassing questions would be to drink to kill his sorrows.
