Chapter 170: Who Is True Love? (Medium)

"These kids are so beautiful. Nanali and Ulysses walked together to the windowsill, and from this angle they could faintly see the golden elves dancing by the water's edge, causing the maids to jokingly chase after them.

Of course, they will definitely not be able to catch up, these cute little things are fantasy butterflies that even Nanali, who is a goblin, can't catch up with all her strength, and it is difficult to even get close to the ordinary people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these beautiful golden butterflies are like that, which can only be seen from afar, but they can't get a little closer.

They possess speed and agility far beyond the imagination of ordinary humans, and can easily feel the breath of human movement. Before the humans could get closer, they flew far away, leaving only frustrated maids who wanted to catch one but couldn't.

"They are really lovely kids. Ulysses couldn't help but laugh at the maids who set all sorts of traps, hid in trees, and even dived in ambush trying to catch rare golden butterflies.

This "child" can refer to the little golden cuties who play tricks on the maids, or it can refer to the little human maids who love to toss.

Being so energetic is probably what characterizes the maids of this castle.

"By the way, you made my wish come true, and I should thank you. Nanali thanked Ulysses very seriously, if it weren't for Ulysses' help, she would never have touched such a mysterious golden elf.

They seem to have been born with special magical powers, and they move at an incredible speed, and if she didn't know the castle well, and her skills are not bad, she would never be able to keep up with their moving speed.

And even so, the limit of what she can do is not to lose them. It would have been impossible to communicate with them without the help of Ulysses, let alone touch them with his own hands.

Therefore, what Ulysses did for her may not seem to Ulysses to be nothing, but for Nanali, who failed to achieve her goal with all her efforts, it was a favor that must be repaid.

The elves are very faithful to their promises, and thanks to their ordinary long lives, they will remember their promises even after hundreds or thousands of years have passed. In the eyes of human beings, even a country will disappear in a thousand years, let alone any promises, but for the high elves, a thousand years is just a period of time, and what they promised will definitely be done.

Nanali is undoubtedly one of the best of the high elves, otherwise she would not have been chosen as the guardian of the Staff of Chiba in the first place. She didn't have any intention of reversing the promise she had just made to Ulysses.

Among human beings, a promise is already a very remarkable thing, but it is nothing compared to the high goblins who have promised for thousands of years. So getting the promise of the goblin clan is something that countless people dream of.

Ulysses didn't know about this, otherwise he would never have played that joke on Nanali.

"It's nothing, it's just a small thing, those children listen to me, you can come to me first if you want to find them in the future. Ulysses now knew that his children weren't that close to humans, or that they were actually pranking on humans, flying around them and watching all sorts of jokes about humans trying to capture them.

Where did this personality come from?

"Well, then, you seem to have asked me something ...... just now" When she asked Ulysses to summon those golden elves back, Nanali remembered that she had indeed granted him a wish, and that wish did not violate her life rules, so she agreed without thinking about it, intoxicated by the lovely golden elves.

However, what Ulysses had said at that time, she slowly remembered now, that it was indeed a very special one, but it did not violate the requirements of her beliefs.

"Well, I said it was a joke, forget about it. Ulysses looked at Nanali with some embarrassment, hoping that she had better forget about his rash joke back then, it was really just a random idea, a little complaint he had about this game of Saya.

How can something as precious as true love be decided in this way. That should be something more special and something to be cherished. What's more, he never thought that he could find such a thing as "true love" in this world.

Because, he doesn't have that kind of thing himself, at least not now. He couldn't choose who his true love was, because something as extravagant as love had long since left him, and it only existed in that hazy summer dream.

"Really...... It's true...... What you want is...... True love?" After trying to remember it several times, Nanali finally remembered what Ulysses wanted at that time.

She did agree to that request, because she wanted to touch those lovely golden elves too much, and she couldn't resist the charm of those golden cuties, and finally she chose to agree to such a request, and did get the opportunity to contact them.

There is no doubt that without the help of Ulysses, this dream of hers would never have been realized. Although Ulysses himself said it was a joke, it was not something that could be forgotten by a goblin who respected his promise.

Nature gave birth to the goblins, and the goblins also repaid the gifts of Mother Nature in their own way. In the era when the High Elves ruled the continent, half of the forests on the entire continent were created by the elves using natural magic. Even in modern times, many of these forests are thriving, providing food and materials for humans and other races.

It is absolutely forbidden to take other people's things or obtain wealth that does not belong to you for no reason, which is the core of the fairy morality. So since she got the intimacy she wanted from Ulysses, Nanali would never allow herself to break her promise.

Even if Ulysses saw it as a joke, for Nanali, it was a promise she had to keep. There is a reward for the effort, and it is a matter of course to plant the seeds and reap the fruits.

Now that she had had such an amazing experience with the help of Ulysses, and that it was exactly what she had always dreamed of, she had to take her promise seriously.

For goblins, it's a shame not to keep their promises. Even if no one knows, that guilt will stay with the goblin for the rest of his life. For the long-lived elf, the torment of this guilt was even more painful than killing him.

Therefore, promises must be kept. Although she has now lost her memories of being a fairy, Nanali is still Nanali, the brave and faithful warrior, the great goblin who can endure being buried in the earth and letting the sapling burst out of her body in order to give birth to a tree.

The charm of the golden butterfly is irresistible to any goblin, and if time is turned back once, Nanali's choice will still not change in any way, so this promise must take effect, not because of some misunderstanding.

"Ah, I really don't care, true love or something, it's just a meaningless idea for me. Seeing Nanali's caring look, Ulysses hastened to explain.

"Find your true love" is the end of the game condition given by Saya, but it is not a necessary condition. Since it only takes the unconditional trust of any of the three sisters to end the game, Ulysses really didn't think about meeting this difficult condition.

Because, that can't be done at all, true love is such a beautiful fantasy, it has already left Lara when he killed Yuria, and has never returned.

It was like the blue bird that represented happiness, which used to spread its wings quietly beside him when he was not looking, but when he realized how precious it was, it had already flown away without a trace, and was never seen again.

"Do you want love?" Nanali knew that Ulysses might have been joking at the time, but the loneliness and sadness in Ulysses' eyes were not hypocritical, that is, this wish did come from his sincerity, but he didn't want to burden himself, so it was a joke.

"You want to be cared for, you want someone to be by your side when you're in trouble, someone to take care of you when you're sick, someone to accompany you when you're lonely, yes or no?" Nanali's words are simple, but they are also complicated.

The elves don't have as many intrigues as humans, but they have their own unique ability to perceive people's hearts.

As a long-lived race, they actually understand the horror of loneliness better than anyone else, and many times the high elves do not die from disease and injury, but from loneliness in their hearts. Because they have lived so long and so long that there are no more familiar companions around, when the goblins enter this stage, the number of sudden deaths will increase hundreds or thousands of times.

They don't die because of the exhaustion of their vitality, it is their hearts that die, the good things they miss for the past. Loneliness is always the most powerful enemy for the strong who cannot open the door of the world.

Only those who transcend this world and have a "door" can see through death and face it calmly. Some people choose to pass on their power in the form of blood, some people give up their original life form and become an alternative "immortal", no matter which one they choose, they all transcend the path they gain after death.

And true love is a precious treasure that can help lonely people get out of the shadow of death and give the aging heart new vitality. In Nanali's opinion, the lonely Ulysses really needed something so precious.
