[Urban] The Ruthless God's Romantic History (Complete) - 1-3

Volume 1, Chapter 1: A Divine Dragon Descends From the Sky.

I suddenly "woke up." Where am I? Who am I? I didn't open my eyes immediately, because my mind was still in a state of chaos. I don't know how much time passed before I fully regained consciousness. I know who I am now. I am the omnipotent ruler of the universe—the Lord of Chaos, but my current identity is the wandering magician "Vell Landy," who has come to this world in disguise to stop the Fourth War between Gods and Demons. Of course, I'm not going to do unpaid work. That kid Xiao Chuang ("The Creator God" is my sworn brother, whom I often call Xiao Chuang) promised me countless amounts of money and countless beauties. Such tempting conditions, it's really hard to resist.

Let's test whether my invincible abilities are affected first, otherwise, if I die first, wouldn't there be no fun? Wouldn't Xiao Chuang laugh his head off? I am the ruler of the universe—the Lord of Chaos, uh, how could I die? However, acting cautiously has always been my principle, so being careful is necessary. I calmed myself, communicating with the elements through my spirit to feel their presence. Slowly, I began absorbing the surrounding elements. I felt the infinite depth of the energy vortex; the elements I absorbed flowed like a stream into the ocean, imperceptible to me. The more I absorbed, the more I gained, and the faster I absorbed.

Under the influence of the energy vortex within my body, some of the absorbed elemental energy was transformed into my spiritual energy; some was absorbed and transformed by the vortex, causing it to grow and expand; and the remaining portion was stored within the vortex. As the energy vortex expanded and my spiritual energy grew, my absorption rate increased. The surrounding elements were no longer sufficient for my absorption, so I gradually expanded my spiritual control domain to the entire world. When the elements of this world could no longer provide me with elemental energy, I traced my spiritual domain back to the origin of the elements in the universe. There, it was like jumping into the ocean, swimming freely in a sea of various elements. These elements surged into my body like a tide, gradually merging completely with my body.

This feeling was incredibly exhilarating. My unparalleled abilities remained completely unaffected, and I stopped, satisfied. Gods, demons, and humans—watch me beat you all up! Who told you to have nothing better to do than fight and kill? Who else should I beat if not you? Haha, beauties of all races, just you wait! The dashing and incomparably valiant Will Randy is coming! Hahaha! Thinking of this, I couldn't wait to begin my legendary adventure of hunting for women. So I opened my eyes and saw gray walls and simple furniture in the room. I found myself lying on a wooden bed:

"Where am I? Where is this place?"

"You're awake." With a melodious voice, a beautiful young woman came into my view.

"Excuse me, where is this place? Why am I here?" I asked softly.

"This is Rogue Village. My two friends and I found you on the edge of the elven forest, so we asked the villagers to help us carry you back. The village elders said you fainted from hunger." After the girl finished speaking, she picked up a bowl from the table, walked to my side, and handed it to me. I was genuinely starving. Why did Xiao Chuang arrange such a scene for me, and then I even fainted? It was so embarrassing! I'll definitely teach this guy a lesson later. But, for the sake of the girl in front of me, I'll let him off this time. I

was so hungry! But thinking about it, it's understandable; I haven't eaten for hundreds of thousands of years. It's no wonder I was hungry! I said thank you and took the bowl, then wolfed it down. In no time, the food in the bowl was completely devoured. She ladled another bowl for me: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke." I snapped out of it and slowed down, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was starving."

"It's alright, eat more." The girl ladled another bowl for me. It wasn't until I had eaten my eighth bowl that I stopped feeling hungry. Human food was really delicious, though.

"I'm full, thank you, young lady," I said to the girl. Only then did I have a chance to properly examine the girl before me. Jet-black hair, a beautiful face. Her ear-length hair looked delicate and pretty, with a small braid sticking up on the upper left side of her head. She wore a white blouse with a large collar, the slightly oversized sleeves reaching above her soft, adorable hands. A large blue crystal button was set between her slightly rounded breasts. The blouse reached above her knees, with small green lace trim along the edges.

She wore matching white trousers with the same green pattern at the cuffs. Her cute little bottom was partially hidden by the rounded hem of the blouse, revealing its pert shape. On her feet were a pair of deerskin ankle boots, slightly pointed at the front and with a two-centimeter heel, perfectly encasing her slender feet. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful—that was my only feeling. The girl noticed my gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly grabbed her bowl and pot and left the house. I opened my mouth to call out, but realized I hadn't even asked her name yet—how rude of me!

I got out of bed and stretched. The sunlight outside indicated it was evening. I remembered Xiao Chuang had set my age to sixteen, but what would I look like? I picked up the mirror on the table and saw myself up close for the first time: 1.8 meters tall, with a well-developed physique, so imposing and powerful. My skin was remarkably fair; even girls would be envious. My shoulder-length black hair flowed gracefully, and my thick eyebrows, large eyes, high nose, chiseled cheeks, and slightly upturned rosy lips gave the impression that I was always smiling. Despite my dignified demeanor, I possessed a comfortable and approachable quality; my charm level was definitely over 10,000. Hmm, it seems Xiao Chuang kept his word. I was quite satisfied with my handsome appearance; I wasn't worried about beautiful women not coming to me—it felt so good!

The only regret was that my clothes were very ordinary; perhaps it was to avoid alarming the villagers with overly flashy attire? Anyway, I have plenty of money, so I'm not worried about not having nice clothes in the future. Besides, with my handsome looks and dashing charm, even if I'm dressed in rags, my attractiveness won't decrease in the slightest, right? Speaking of money, where is my money? I reached into my pocket. I remember Xiao Chuang telling me that the money is kept in a magic bag, so I can't feel its weight at all, and no one can steal it from me. How awesome!

I counted the gold coins in the magic bag; there were about 1500 coins, and also a crystal credit card from the "Continental Bank," a bank in the "Fantasy Continent." I can withdraw cash at any "Continental Bank" branch, and I can also make direct purchases in towns with "Continental Bank" branches. The "Continental Bank" has many branches in various countries of the "Fantasy Continent," and only very small towns and villages don't have branches and must use cash for transactions.

In short, the currency is universal throughout the "Fantasy Continent," and through the "Continental Bank," cash can be easily transferred between countries. This greatly facilitates my plan to unify the entire "Fantasy Continent," saving me a lot of trouble. Due to the immense power of the "Continental Bank," it effectively controls the economic lifelines of various countries. Therefore, despite widespread war across the continent, the "Continental Bank's" branches in each country remain unscathed. Anyone who dares to provoke the "Continental Bank" will inevitably suffer the tragic fate of having their assets frozen—a fate worse than death. Therefore, if one side conquers an enemy city, not only will they not rob the local "Continental Bank" branches, but they will automatically provide protection to prevent looting by thieves or mobs.

This crystal credit card is truly a great invention. After obtaining the crystal card, the holder must input their information into it, making the card usable only by that person; even if someone else obtains it, it's useless. Furthermore, different crystal cards can transfer funds between each other, making it extremely convenient. I input my information into the crystal card, and from then on, only I, Will Randy, can use it. I looked at the numbers displayed on the crystal card and was stunned. The first digit was a nine, followed by a long string of zeros, the unit being gold coins. Little Chuang is really generous; how am I supposed to spend so much money?

In the "Fantasy Continent," the most commonly used currency units are silver coins and gold coins. One silver coin equals 100 copper coins, with copper coins being the smallest unit and diamond coins the largest. One diamond coin equals 100 gold coins, and one gold coin equals 100 silver coins. It's important to note that diamond coins are simply a currency unit without a corresponding currency, as finding a diamond coin is extremely difficult; they are merely used to simplify counting large amounts of gold coins. The other three currency units—gold, silver, and copper coins—each have corresponding circulating currencies. This explains why my magic bag contains over 1500 gold coins instead of just a dozen diamond coins.

What does 1500 gold coins represent? For an average family, annual expenses are only a few hundred gold coins. 1500 gold coins are enough for an average family to live on for over a decade. Anyway, money is money earned through small means, so why not spend it? It's always good to spend money when you have the chance. However, I'm also aware of humanity's inherent weakness—greed. I understand the principle of "not flaunting wealth," otherwise it will only bring endless trouble.

The next question is which country on the continent I'm in now. I remember Xiao Chuang telling me that this continent is divided into four continents: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird, with more than twenty countries of varying sizes. But I'm too lazy to remember those unpleasant country names, so I didn't listen to a word of Xiao Chuang's rambling. Anyway, I'm already on this continent, so finding out all this shouldn't be difficult, right? So I decided to ask that beautiful girl from before. Finding out the situation was one reason, but the more important reason, of course, was to take the opportunity to get closer to her.

I went out and found the girl sitting at the door talking to a young woman with her back to the door. So when I came out, the girl noticed me first, stood up, and said, "Why don't you rest for a bit?"

I smiled and replied, "I've already rested." Then I introduced myself, "My name is Will Randy."

The girl blushed slightly and said, "My name is Lilia, and this is my mother, Melina." She pointed to the young woman and introduced her to me. As she spoke, the young woman Melina turned around. When she was fully turned to face me, I froze, almost breathless. She was so beautiful, beyond my wildest imagination.

Melina's hair was styled in a high bun, with a few strands falling at her temples, and a captivating smile graced her beautiful face. She wore a plaid jacket, the front draped diagonally at her left waist and tied in a bow. Her full breasts stretched the jacket taut, revealing the perfect curves of her breasts. Although she already had a daughter as old as Lilia, her breasts remained firm, as if if she were to gently loosen the bow at her waist, her jade-like breasts would leap out of the jacket and bounce right in front of you, trembling and seemingly unattainable.

Melina wore a straight-cut light blue skirt, slightly fitted at the hips, perfectly showcasing the full, rounded curves of her hips. A slit ran down to the knee at the back of her skirt, revealing glimpses of her calves as she moved. The perfect length, the flawless curve of her legs, and her translucent skin all accentuated Melina's alluring beauty.

The skirt was also form-fitting in the front, and when Melina stood still, a glimpse of her beautiful lower abdomen was visible between her top and the skirt. The skirt clung to her flat stomach and flowed down to her feet, the slightly elastic fabric showcasing Melina's full thighs. The skirt dipped slightly between her thighs and lower abdomen, forming an inverted triangle, sparking endless fantasies about what beautiful scenery lay beneath.

Gazing at Melina, bathed in the setting sun and radiating captivating charm, I was stunned. Melina's face, flushed by the sunset, was so beautiful and warm; her voluptuous figure exuded a noble air in the red glow, so elegant and dignified, yet also so simple and warm. If Lilia hadn't told me this was her mother, I would have definitely thought Melina was her sister.

"Where did you come from, Young Master Randy?" Melina's sweet, melodious voice, emanating from her cherry-like lips, jolted me from my daze. I then noticed Lilia staring at me, her pretty face slightly flushed, a hint of anger on her face.

She was clearly angry at my rude "stare," especially since I had just stared back at her. Naturally, I couldn't let her leave a bad impression, so I quickly apologized to Melina, "Please forgive my rudeness, Madam. You are so beautiful; I almost thought I had met a goddess."

"You're right," Lilia replied, "My mother is a renowned beauty. I'll forgive your rudeness for now." Lilia was indeed an innocent and pure girl; she was truly adorable.

"Young master, you flatter me. How could a humble village woman like me accept such praise?" Melina's pretty face flushed slightly, her shyness and joy overflowing.

"Madam, you are too modest. Please don't call me 'young master' anymore, just call me Will." The first step, of course, was to eliminate the barrier between us. If the way we addressed each other was so distant, there was no hope of getting close to this beauty. I wondered where Lilia's father was. If I could win over both mother and daughter, that would be a great pleasure in life. At that moment, I set my first goal after arriving in the "Fantasy Continent"—Melina and her daughter Lilia.

"Then you shouldn't call me 'madam' anymore, just call me 'auntie'," Melina said with a charming smile, which suited me perfectly.

"Then what should I call you?" Lilia tilted her cute little head and asked me.

“Vell, you look older than Lilia, so you can call her Xiaoya, and she can call you Brother Will.” Melina was so understanding. My heart pounded, but I tried to act nonchalant, saying, “I’m sixteen, Xiaoya, what about you?”

“You’ve already called me Xiaoya, why are you asking? I’m fourteen,” Lilia said coquettishly. What an adorable girl! My heart started pounding again. Little did I know this would become a source of ridicule later on—my heart would race whenever I saw a girl I liked, revealing my feelings without any attempt to hide them. I didn’t realize this until much later, when I learned it from other girls, making it one of my ten most embarrassing moments. How shameful!

Melina's melodious voice rang out again: "Will, you still haven't answered me where you came from? What are you doing here? Why did you faint at the edge of the forest?"

I didn't answer, but instead asked, "Aunt Melina, can you tell me where this is?"

Melina looked at me in surprise and said, "Will, don't you know where this is?" Seeing me nod, Melina explained, "This is Rogue Village, located at the westernmost end of the Kingdom of Mosby on the Azure Dragon Continent, near the Elf Forest." After saying that, she still looked at me in surprise.

Lilia also looked at me with surprise, making me feel uneasy, as if I were a monster. I knew it was understandable; anyone would feel the same way in this situation. It's just that I hadn't been paying attention to Xiao Chuang's geography lesson on the "Fantasy Continent" at all, and I racked my brains to remember that there seemed to be a Kuka Empire on the Xuanwu Continent, which was the only country name I could still recall. A thought quickly formed in my mind, and I said to Melina and Lilia, "I know you'll find this strange, but I'm actually from the Kuka Empire of the 'Xuanwu Continent.'"

"What? You're from the Kuka Empire of the 'Xuanwu Continent'? What are you doing here? And how did you get here?" Melina and Lilia stared at me in surprise.

"I'm a magician. While practicing magic in the forest, I think I stumbled into a magic circle, and then I passed out. When I woke up, I was here. I don't know what happened." My explanation should be flawless, right? If anyone asked any other questions, I could simply say "I don't know" because I was unconscious.

"Then you must have stumbled into a 'teleportation magic circle,' which is why you were teleported here," Melina guessed.

"Vilgo, what are you going to do? You must really want to go back and see your family, right?" Lilia said sweetly.

This is an opportunity, and of course I won't miss it. If I can win the beauty's sympathy, that will be the first step towards success. I tried my best to appear very sad and said, "I have no family left. My mother died when I was very young, and my father died of illness three years ago. After my father died, I wandered around, improving my magical abilities. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not." I don't have a father or mother, so it's not unreasonable to say that, right? Sure enough,

as soon as I finished speaking, Melina's face darkened, and Lilia's eyes even turned red: "Vilgo, it turns out you are more unfortunate than me." She lowered her head and said, "My father was killed by thieves on his way back from Garrison City a year ago."

Hahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck! It turns out that Lilia's father died a year ago. Then no one can stop me from taking advantage of Melina and Lilia, mother and daughter. Otherwise, if Lilia's father were still alive, I wouldn't be able to do anything to Melina. Although I like beautiful women, I can't possibly set my sights on someone else's wife, unless she's a widow, of course. I was secretly overjoyed, but I couldn't show it, otherwise all my previous efforts would be wasted. I looked apologetically at Lilia and said, "Xiaoya, I'm sorry, I reminded you of something unpleasant."

Lilia raised her head and shook it, saying, "Brother Will, I should be the one apologizing. I've stirred up your unhappy memories."

I smiled and said, "I'm not taking it to heart anymore. Forget it, let's not think about unpleasant things anymore."

Lilia's mood improved as well: "Brother Will, since you don't have anything urgent to do, why don't you stay?"

Melina added, "Yes, Will, 'since you're here, might as well stay.' Since you don't have anywhere else to go, why don't you stay and then we can discuss things further." "

Even if they hadn't brought it up, I would have found a way to stay. Besides, both mother and daughter asked me to stay, so how could I refuse? However, I still pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, 'Alright, I haven't decided where to go yet anyway, so I'll stay for now. But will this cause you any trouble?'

Melina smiled sweetly and said, 'It won't be any trouble. It's just another mouth to feed. You can sleep in Lilia's room, and Lilia can sleep with me.'

Lilia also smiled and said, 'Brother Will, don't refuse anymore. Didn't you just sleep in my bed? If you refuse again, I'll get angry.' She saw that I was going to refuse and quickly shut me up.

Actually, I didn't refuse at all; I was just putting on a show. I took out 100 gold coins from the magic bag in my arms and said, 'Aunt Melina, then I won't say anything. Consider this money my living expenses.'" "Saying this, he handed the gold coins to Melina.

Melina didn't take them, but said, "Will, you're being too polite. How could we take your money?"

Lilia also chided, "Yes, Brother Will, what do you take our family for? We're not running an inn!"

I had already prepared my explanation when I took out the gold coins, and I smiled and said, "Xiaoya, I didn't say we were staying at an inn. I consider myself part of this family. Now that Uncle is gone, I'm the only man in this family. Don't you think I should contribute to this family? Xiaoya, I can tell from the simple furnishings in your room that your financial situation must be bad. Plus, having another mouth to feed is a considerable burden. Unless you don't want me to stay, you must accept this money." "By using both soft and hard tactics, and then slapping a big label on them, they had no choice but to accept the gold coins. Moreover, I killed two birds with one stone. Besides getting them to accept the gold coins, I also subtly portrayed myself as the only man in the family, thus bringing the three of them much closer together.

Lilia turned and smiled, "Mom, since Brother Will said so, then you should accept them."

Melina smiled at me and said, "Will, since you said so, I have no choice but to accept them, so I won't be polite." As she spoke, she took the gold coins from my hand, then suddenly shouted "Wow!" and dropped all the gold coins on the ground.

Lilia was startled and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Melina pointed to the gold coins on the ground and said, "100 gold coins? Will, do you know that 100 gold coins are enough for Lilia and me to

live on for three years?" I smiled and picked up the gold coins that had fallen to the ground, handing them to Melina and saying, "Aunt Melina, of course I know. I've been wandering outside for three years, so of course I know the value of these gold coins. But my father is a merchant and left me a considerable fortune, and I've also made some money as a 'bounty hunter' these past few years. Don't worry, it won't bankrupt me."

Melina accepted the gold coins with some doubt, while Lilia happily giggled and said, "So, Will is quite a little rich, huh?"

I smiled and said, "More or less. If you want anything, just tell me, and I'll definitely buy it for you."

"Really?" Lilia said happily, "You said it yourself, so don't regret it later!"

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word," I said with a smile, "As long as you don't bankrupt me." Melina smiled and said to me, "

Vell, you chat with Lilia for a while, I'll go make dinner. After dinner, I'll take you to see the three elders of the village." With that, she went inside to prepare dinner.

Leaving Lilia and me alone, I naturally had many questions for her. From her, I learned that it was September 11th, 7991 in the Continental Calendar (9.11, ^_^). The Continental Calendar began eight thousand years ago when the "Magic Saint Emperor" Fatal unified all the races of the continent and established the Ancient Magic Kingdom. The Azure Dragon Continent is located in the eastern part of the Fantasy Continent. It is separated from the Black Tortoise Continent to the north by the Baipaje River, and from the Vermilion Bird Continent to the south by the Mogafashu River.

The White Tiger Continent to the west is separated from the Vermilion Bird Continent by the Ankasoru River, and from the Black Tortoise Continent by the Nafasisu River. The four great rivers that divide the "Mystic Continent" originate from the same place—Mount Phantom Spirit, a high mountain in the very center of the continent, and the surrounding forest, spanning three hundred miles, is called the "Mystic Spirit Forest." The entire Mystic Continent is surrounded by a boundless sea, said to contain numerous island nations of varying sizes, but the exact nature

of these islands remains unknown. The "Mystic Spirit Forest" is one of the most mysterious regions of the "Mystic Continent," and is the largest forest on the continent. Thousands upon thousands of magical beasts roam the forest, mercilessly slaughtering anyone or anything that trespasses, making it a living hell. There are no inhabitants in the forest, only ferocious magical beasts and adventurers who enter to enhance their abilities; therefore, the "Mystic Spirit Forest" is also known as the "Trial Forest."

I also learned that there are six countries on the Azure Dragon Continent. The largest is the Lanfeng Empire in the central region, followed by the Kingdoms of Pas, Jessies, and Machia to the north, and the Mosby Kingdom, where I am currently located, to the south, and the second largest, the Gas Empire. The Elf Forest is a forest spanning the Vermilion Bird Continent and the Azure Dragon Continent, located a hundred miles outside the Illusionary Spirit Forest. It is the home of the elves. Most of the elves on the entire Fantasy Continent reside in the Elf Forest, which is surrounded by a barrier. Only elves and those with extremely high magical power can cross the barrier and enter the Elf Kingdom.

The area within a hundred miles of the "Elf Forest" is known as the "Hundred-Mile Sacred Land." Eight thousand years ago, it was the domain of Fatal, the first emperor of the ancient magical kingdom who unified the various races of the continent. To express his gratitude for the care he received from the elves during his childhood, Fatal declared after unifying the continent that the area within a hundred miles of the Elf Forest was a sacred land, where no race or power was allowed to engage in conflict in any form. Those who violated this rule would face severe punishment and an eternal curse inflicted by Fatal as the Magic Emperor. Therefore, even though the entire continent has endured thousands of years of war, this area has remained completely untouched.

Just as I was having a pleasant chat with Lilia, two unexpected guests arrived—two beautiful girls, one older and one younger, no less stunning than Lilia. They were clearly sisters, as their appearances were strikingly similar. Both had long, slightly brownish hair, delicate, semi-circular eyebrows, bright, star-like eyes, small noses, cherry-like lips, and slender figures. Wearing light green dresses, they looked exceptionally beautiful.

"Eileen, Dora, you've come at the perfect time! Let me introduce you..." Lilia pointed to me and said, "This is Will Randy, whom we rescued." Through Lilia's introduction, I learned that the older sister was Dora, and the younger sister was Eileen.

"I am Will Randy. It's an honor to meet you two ladies," I said politely. Although my heart was pounding again, I successfully resisted the urge to stare at them, avoiding any further rudeness in front of the girls.

After the four of us sat down again, Dora and Eileen naturally asked me where I came from and what I was doing there. Fortunately, I didn't have to repeat myself; Lilia answered for me. I also learned that it was Lilia, Dora, and Eileen who had found me this morning, and that Dora, Eileen, and Lilia were very close friends. I also learned that Dora was seventeen years old, and Eileen was thirteen. Their mother had died five years ago, and they lived here with their father, Chris.

At this moment, Melina came out with the food and, seeing that Eileen and Dora were also there, greeted them warmly, "Dora, Eileen, you're here too! Have you had dinner yet? If not, come and eat with us. We prepared a large meal today because of Will." I couldn't help but blush. I also noticed that Melina and Lilia were smiling at me, clearly teasing me for eating eight bowls of food after waking up.

Eileen exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! My sister and I just got back from practicing magic, and we were planning to check if Vilgo was awake before going back to cook. It's so great to be able to eat Aunt Melina's cooking now!" She even called me Vilgo like Lilia did, it was so awesome!

Melina smiled and said to Dora, "Dora, why don't you go and call your dad, Chris, over too?" Dora agreed and went, returning shortly with a burly man in his thirties—undoubtedly Ponte Chris, Dora and Eileen's father.

Uncle Chris smiled and thanked Melina, saying, "Melina, thank you for your kind invitation. I haven't had your cooking in a long time; it's truly something to remember." He then looked at me and asked, "You must be Will?"

I nodded, "Yes, Uncle Chris, I'm Will Randy."

Uncle Chris chuckled and looked me over, then said after a moment, "Will, I just heard from Dora that you inexplicably arrived here from the 'Xuanwu Continent.' That's quite extraordinary."

I had to force a wry smile, "Yeah, what can I do when I run into this bad luck?"

At this moment, with the help of Lilia and Eileen, Melina had already set out the food, so she stopped my conversation with Uncle Chris, saying, "Brother Chris, Will, let's talk later. Now we're going to eat."

Uncle Chris smiled and pulled a bottle of wine from his pocket, saying to me, "Will, want to have a couple of drinks with me?" "Drinking? I've never tried it before. What will it be like?"

Before I could even speak, Dora playfully scolded, "Dad, you're drinking again..." She reached for Uncle Chris's bottle, but he quickly hid it behind his back and pleaded with her, "Dora, I haven't had a drink in over a month. Today Melina is treating, and it's to welcome Will. Please let me off the hook?" It seemed Dora kept a close eye on Uncle Chris, usually forbidding him from drinking.

Dora thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you can't drink too much."

Uncle Chris laughed, "Dora, don't worry, when has your dad ever been drunk?" He poured himself a bowl of wine and then said to me, "Will, do you want some?"

I had no choice but to say, "Uncle Chris, I've never drunk alcohol before. I'd like to try it."

Uncle Chris laughed, "Will, what man doesn't drink? Here, let me pour you some." Uncle Chris was going to pour me a full bowl, but Melina, Lilia, Dora, and Eileen all objected, so he only poured me half a bowl.

"Ah...so spicy...cough...cough..." I didn't expect the so-called wine to be so spicy. I only took one sip and I choked and coughed violently, almost bringing tears to my eyes.

"Will, if you can't drink it, drink it slowly." Melina complained coquettishly, then patted my back considerately to help me catch my breath, while Lilia handed me a glass of water at the right time. What a gentle and considerate mother and daughter pair, it seems I'm lucky. Melina couldn't help but complain to Uncle Chris, "Brother Chris, don't corrupt Will." Although Uncle Chris was full of resentment, under the angry glares of the four women, he wisely shut his mouth.

I caught my breath and smiled as I thanked Melina and Lilia, "Aunt Melina, Lilia, thank you, I'm just not used to it yet, I'll be fine in a bit." "

Melina said with concern, "Will, if you can't handle it, don't drink. Don't push yourself

." I naturally couldn't show weakness, and said with great bravado, "Aunt Melina, this little bit of alcohol is nothing to me. You can rest assured."

Uncle Chris laughed heartily, "Will, that's more like it! That's the style of a real man! I like young men like you."

Eileen said coquettishly, "Dad, you talk so much when you drink. It seems I can't let you drink anymore."

Uncle Chris's expression immediately changed, and he said awkwardly, "Eileen, don't be so cruel to your old man. I just like Will, so I said a few extra words. From now on, I promise I won't say another word, okay?" "Eileen gave a soft snort and ignored him. Uncle Chris didn't dare say anything more, but this didn't affect his mood at all. He happily drank his wine and ate the dishes Melina had made, occasionally raising his bowl to me.

Before I knew it, I had drunk half a bowl of wine. I was starting to like the spicy taste, so despite Melina and Lilia's attempts to stop me, I asked Uncle Chris for another half bowl. Uncle Chris looked at me happily and said, "Will, it seems I can drink with you from now on, we..." Before he could finish speaking, Dora and Eileen's angry glares made him involuntarily shiver, and he had to swallow the rest of his words.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, Uncle Chris took Dora and Eileen away, completely satisfied. By then it was completely dark, and with Lilia's help, Melina quickly cleared away the dishes. Melina said to me, "Will, I'm taking you to see the village elders now."

Lilia exclaimed, "Mommy, I want to go too!"

Melina chuckled and patted Lilia's head, saying, "Little tagalong, come with us then." Lilia

was clearly unhappy that Melina called her a "tagalong," and pouted playfully, "Mom, I'm not a 'tagalong'!" Melina smiled sweetly at her adorable appearance, her face radiating maternal love. This heartwarming scene naturally didn't escape my eyes; I was even a little envious of Lilia for having such a wonderful mother.

Arriving at the home of the village chief, Jerome, in Rogge Village, I found three old men inside. After Melina's introduction, I learned that these were the three elders of the village. The one on the left was Elder Alois, a magician with the title of "Magician," the village's magic teacher, and also the teacher of Lilia, Melina, Eileen, and Dora. He was tall and thin, wearing a gray robe, with a long white beard hanging down to his chest, and he looked at us with a smile.

It's quite surprising that this old man is actually a "Grand Archmage." In the "Mystic Continent," only eight mages reach the "Grand Archmage" level, scattered across four continents. Therefore, there aren't many mages who can reach the "Grand Archmage" level. Even on the "Azure Dragon Continent," there are only a little over a hundred who have reached this level, and the entire "Mystic Continent" has only about six or seven hundred. This is all information I gathered from my conversation with Dora and the others.

On the right is Elder Kajelai, also known as the "Sword Master," the village's martial arts instructor. Tall and robust, he wears a grey robe, has a ruddy complexion, gleaming eyes, and a perpetually cheerful smile. Uncle Chris is his most prized disciple.

In the middle stood Jeromein, the village chief and priest of Rogge Village. He wasn't as tall as Alos on the left, nor as imposing as Kajelai on the right, but he exuded power. Wearing a white priest's robe, with a faint smile on his face, he radiated a sacred aura. It was unclear what rank he was, but judging from the impressive strength of the other two, Jeromein was at least a "mid-level priest."

Melina repeated what I had told them to the three elders, who listened intently while carefully observing me. I noticed Jeromein's eyes were incredibly sharp, as if he could see right through people. After Melina finished speaking, Jeromein said to me, "Young man from afar, extend your left hand."

Not knowing what he wanted, I obediently extended my left hand. Jeromein took my left hand in his own palms, then closed his eyes, muttering some incantation. Everyone in the room watched this scene in silence. Suddenly, I noticed that Jerome's hands, which were holding mine, were trembling, and he had opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with excitement, and his voice trembled: "The 'Holy Envoy' who has traveled through time and space, people have waited for you for a thousand years."

No way, this old man really could see my origins? I didn't believe it. And what did he mean by waiting for me for a thousand years? I turned to look at Melina, Lilia, and the other two elders, all staring at me in disbelief, their mouths agape. I feigned surprise and looked at Jerome, saying, "Priest, what are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

Melina looked at me in astonishment and said, "Vell, haven't you heard of the 'Edgar Prophecy'?"

What the hell is the "Edgar Prophecy"? How would I know about it? I could only shake my head and say, "No."

Melina explained to me, "A thousand years ago, Edgar, the greatest priest on the continent and the only 'Holy Spirit Priest' in its history, prophesied that the continent would once again fall into war at the end of seven thousand years later, until the great 'Holy Envoy' traveled through time and space to descend upon the continent. With his great heart, superior wisdom, and invincible divine power, he caused fruits to grow again in the soil, rivers to become clear again, and life to return to joy, becoming the new king of the continent and bringing peace and happiness to the entire land." She stopped, and the room became extremely quiet; even the sound of everyone's heartbeats could be faintly heard.

My heart was pounding wildly, especially the phrase "invincible divine power," which made me realize that I was the "Holy Envoy" prophesied by the "Holy Spirit Priest" Edgar. Why was this? How could he see into this day a thousand years in the future? How did this "Holy Spirit Priest" Edgar manage to do it? Thinking this to myself, I said aloud, "Don't look at me, I'm just a wandering magician."

The magic elder, Alois, and the martial arts elder, Kajelai, said in unison, "No, we all believe what Jeromein says, because he is one of only four 'High Priests' on the continent."

"What?" Melina and Lilia exclaimed simultaneously. Clearly, they didn't know that Jeromein was one of the four "High Priests" on the entire continent. No wonder Melina hadn't explained Jeromein's rank to me earlier. Because on this continent, priests are "representatives of God"—prophetes, and are divided into priests, lower priests, middle priests, high priests, and holy priests. For eight thousand years, only the legendary Priest Edgar has been a "Holy Priest," therefore, "High Priest" is the limit that humanity can reach. There is now one "High Priest" on each of the four continents. It's quite unexpected that the only "High Priest" on the "Azure Dragon Continent" is this Jeromein before me. No wonder he could see my identity.

The magic elder, Alois, explained to Melina and Lilia, "Jeromein doesn't want to get involved in the conflicts between the various nations, so he came to Rogue Village. Now that you know, don't tell anyone." Melina and Lilia both nodded in agreement.

Melina suddenly looked at my flushed face and asked, "Will, what's wrong?"

I felt a wave of dizziness, my head spinning. What was happening? Suddenly, I burped, the smell of alcohol rushing to my throat. I suddenly understood what was going on; the alcohol I drank had a strong aftereffect. It didn't seem to bother me at the time, but the effects would take hold later. I felt Lilia support me as I swayed, anxiously asking, "Will, what's wrong with you?" These were the last words I could remember before collapsing like a rag doll.

My head hurts so much! That was the only feeling I had when I woke up. I decided I wouldn't drink anymore—or rather, I'd drink less. Being drunk is really unpleasant. I struggled to open my eyes and found myself still lying in the same bed as yesterday. Where were Melina and Lilia? I shakily stood up, looked down, and my face immediately turned red. I was wearing a large bathrobe! I glanced down at my underwear—ah, it wasn't my usual underwear either. This was so embarrassing! Who changed my clothes? Melina? Lilia? Or someone else?

Where were my clothes? I looked around, but couldn't find them. Where did they go? Were I supposed to go out in a bathrobe? I called out, "Aunt Mei, Lilia, are you there?"

To my surprise, Melina's melodious voice immediately came from outside: "Will, you're awake? Don't worry, I'll get you some clothes right away."

I quickly went back to bed, pulled the covers over myself, and just as I settled down, Melina pushed open the door, carrying my clothes. I noticed Melina's shy expression and blushed as well. Melina said softly, "Your clothes are clean. It's past noon now, get up and eat. Elder Alois is waiting to test your magical abilities." With that, she turned to leave.

I stammered, "Aunt Mei… this… this… last night…" I wanted to ask who had changed my clothes last night. Although Melina's back was to me, I could clearly see her ears were flushed red: "Last night you were drunk, Lilia and I brought you back, and we also bathed you and changed your clothes." With that, she walked straight out.

Oh no, this is so embarrassing! Melina and Lilia saw me completely naked! How can I ever face them again? Even though I might have a thicker skin than most, this is still incredibly shameful. After dawdling for ages, I finally got dressed and went outside. Melina had already set the table. Seeing me come out so late, she chuckled, "Oh dear, so shy! Go wash your face and come eat, or the food will get cold."

I quickly washed my face and sat down to eat. I stole a glance; Melina was smiling as she watched me wolf down my food. This made me even more uncomfortable, and my face burned. I knew without looking that I was absolutely blushing. Melina chuckled again, saying in a very strange tone, "I never would have guessed, little Will, that you're this kind of person, you little pervert." With a clatter, my chopsticks fell to the ground. "Little Will," this was the first time I'd ever heard Melina call me that. "Little pervert"? Did I hear that right? What was she saying? I stared at Melina in astonishment, my mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

Seeing my bewildered expression, Melina said with a strange look, "Little Will, I didn't expect you to be so 'cute' when you're drunk, huh? You're even talking to yourself. Do you want to know what you're saying? Little pervert?"

"You little pervert again!" What did I say? Did I blurt out my innermost thoughts? Hoping for the best, I cautiously asked, "Aunt Mei, what did I say? I don't remember anything."

Melina suddenly blushed and whispered reproachfully, "You little pervert, how dare you have such thoughts about me? You've got some nerve!"

What? Did I even say I was interested in Melina? I desperately tried to calm myself down, feigning panic, and said, "Aunt Mei, how could I dare to disrespect you? I don't remember any of the nonsense I rambled on about while drunk, so please don't take it seriously."

Melina chuckled, "You're all talk and no action! You clearly think it, but you won't admit it. I saw you were perfectly sober when you said those things; it didn't sound like nonsense at all. You said you wanted to sleep with both me and Lilia, and you wanted to get Dora and Eileen into bed. You said you wanted to collect all the beauties on the continent. Can you honestly say you never thought about that?"

Ugh, I covered my face in anguish. I'd blurted everything out. I'm ruined! My carefully cultivated image is completely destroyed. What will Melina, Lilia, Dora, and Eileen think of me when they find out? No wonder Melina calls me a little pervert. This time, I'm really done for. This incident later became the second of the "Top Ten Embarrassing Moments" that the women teased me about.

In the end, it's all Uncle Chris's fault. Why did he have to drink alcohol while we were eating? This is so embarrassing! How can I face Lilia and the others? I might as well dig a hole and crawl into it. My first attempt at seduction has failed so badly. What a pity. Oh well, I'll just leave this place. I'll leave sooner or later anyway.

Thinking this, I decided to take the plunge and looked at Melina, saying, "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. The first time I saw Aunt Melina, I dreamed of getting her into my bed someday." After saying this, I leaned in, closed my eyes, and waited for the expected "intimate contact" with Melina's delicate hand, looking like I was ready to die.

A gust of wind blew by, and... wait, instead of the expected "smack," a delicate hand touched my cheek. Just as I was wondering what was going on, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my cheek. It turned out Melina had pinched my cheek hard. I covered my face and opened my eyes, seeing Melina looking at me with a shy smile, scolding, "You little pervert, you really have some nerve."

I could tell Melina wasn't really angry; I really couldn't understand what she was thinking. I stammered, "Aunt Melina, what are you thinking?"

Melina looked at me with a half-smile and said, "I'm old enough to be your mother, and Lilia is my daughter. Will, I'm asking you, do you plan to use us and then leave?"

Although my target is a beautiful woman on the continent, I wouldn't be so heartless as to "use and discard." The woman I like must genuinely like me; "forcing myself on her" is the most shameful thing. Because mutual attraction between a man and a woman requires mutual consent; forced relationships are never sweet. Not only would I not do such a spoilsport myself, but if I discovered that such a thing had happened, I would make him suffer a terrible fate.

In my opinion, a beautiful woman is a priceless work of art; one must not only appreciate her but also carefully cherish and treasure her in one's heart. I believe the greatest happiness for a woman is not wielding a sword to kill enemies or licking the blood from a blade, but being cherished and loved by the man she loves. There are plenty of kings on this continent with numerous concubines, and I, Will Randy, as the future emperor who will rule the realms of humans, gods, and demons, have no problem having a few more women. Therefore, I will never discard them after I've had my way with them; that's what beasts do. Although I am lustful, I treat each of my women with love, and I will cherish them for life.

I said solemnly to Melina, "Of course I will leave this place, but I will not abandon my women. If Aunt Melina truly becomes my woman, I will give her the happiness that all women in the world envy. I swear on my life."

Melina's expression shifted, and finally she sighed, "Will, I can't promise you anything right now, but I won't stop you from associating with Lilia and Dora. My only request is that you don't harm them; otherwise, I don't care if you're a 'Holy Envoy' or not, I will definitely not let you go."

I nodded and said, "Aunt Mei, I can promise you that. Although I like beautiful women, I won't force you to like me." Then I asked, "Aunt Mei, do you really believe I'm some kind of 'Holy Envoy'? A king of some continent? Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Melina

said seriously, "Vell, I believe that the 'High Priest' Jeromein wouldn't just make things up. He is the only 'High Priest' on the 'Azure Dragon Continent,' and you do have many mysterious things about you. For example, how did you get here?" She continued, "By the way, Elder Alois said he's waiting for you to test your magical abilities."

I then asked, "Aunt Mei, do you all learn magic from Elder Alois?"

Melina nodded and said, "Yes, most of the women in the village learn magic from Elder Alois, while the men, in addition to learning magic, also learn martial arts from Elder Kajelai." However, Dora, Eileen, and Lilia also frequently learn combat techniques from Elder Kajelai. They have good aptitude and have already reached the level of magicians. Perhaps they can cultivate both magic and martial arts in the future.

I smiled and asked Melina, "And what about you, Aunt Melina?"

Melina's face suddenly darkened. "My constitution isn't good. Elder Alois said I'm not suitable for practicing magic. My magical abilities haven't improved at all over the years."

I comforted her, "Aunt Melina, it doesn't matter if you don't practice magic. The most important thing is to live happily."

Melina smiled again and glanced at me sideways, saying, "Little Will, I didn't realize you were so good at comforting people." "

I almost got goosebumps from her calling me 'Little Will,' and quickly begged for mercy, 'Aunt Mei, please don't call me that anymore, it's giving me goosebumps.'

Melina chuckled, 'I wasn't wrong to call you Little Will, but if you don't like it, then forget it.' Then she said to me, 'Let's go, Elder Alois must be getting impatient.'

Melina led me to a wooden house at the village entrance. Elder Alois was at the door, but I didn't see Lilia and the others. After asking, Melina learned that Lilia and Eileen had gone to find Kajelai, while Dora was meditating inside. Alois said to me, 'Will, the area within a mile radius is surrounded by a barrier I created. Within this barrier, magic only has one-tenth of its usual power. Now, try casting 'Fireball' like I did.' After saying that, he chanted, 'Great Fire God, hear my prayer, 'Fireball!'" "With Elder Alois's outstretched hand, a fireball shot out, burning a black hole in the ground.

To be honest, I really didn't know how high my abilities were, but they were definitely far greater than his. I didn't know how much magic power to use. So I pretended to chant, 'Great Fire God, hear my prayer, "Fireball!"' I stretched out my hand, and a miracle happened. A fireball ten times the size of Elder Alois's fireball shot out, hitting the ground with a roar and creating a crater several meters wide. Unexpected, unexpected, absolutely unexpected! I stared in astonishment at the crater I had created, almost unable to believe my eyes, because I had only used less than ten percent of my magic power. Elder Alois and Melina looked at me like I was a monster, completely dumbfounded. In a flash

, a beautiful woman darted out of the wooden house. It was Dora, who was meditating inside. She asked sweetly, 'What happened?'" "She saw me at a glance. I don't know if Lilia told her about the drunken things I said last night, but as soon as she saw me, her beautiful face immediately turned as cold as ice. After chanting a few incantations, she waved her hand and shot a 'fireball' at me."

Almost without thinking, I shouted "Fireball!" and stretched out my hand. But I immediately realized my mistake: I hadn't chanted the incantation. With my abilities, I certainly didn't need to; I just didn't want them to discover that my power far exceeded their expectations. Just as I regretted it, my outstretched hand suddenly felt hot, and a "fireball" even larger than the previous one shot out from my hand, the Howler engulfing Dora's fireball as it hurtled towards her. I realized I had made a second mistake: due to distraction, I hadn't controlled my magic properly, and now I was using even more magic than before.

Elder Alois cried out, "Dora, get out of the way!" Dora, stunned by the giant "fireball," was awakened by the sound and quickly ducked to the ground. The "fireball" passed over her and struck the wooden house behind her, instantly engulfing it in flames and reducing it to ashes in moments. I secretly rejoiced, because I had prepared to rescue her. Seeing Dora alertly duck, I felt relieved.

I hurriedly explained to Elder Alois, "It's not my fault. You all saw it. I didn't chant any spells; the fireball shot out on its own."

Elder Alois looked at me strangely and said, "Vell, do you know when I could use magic without chanting spells? At sixty. Inside this barrier, any magic only has one-tenth of its power. Do you know what that means? Outside the barrier, your 'Fireball' is enough to destroy a castle." As he spoke, he took out a small crystal ball from his pocket and said, "This is a crystal for testing magic power. The brighter the light, the stronger the magic power." He concentrated his mind slightly, and the crystal ball immediately emitted a dazzling white light. It was clear that this old fellow was not to be underestimated; his qualification as a "magician" was not just for show.

Elder Alois handed me the crystal ball and briefly told me how to concentrate, then instructed me to do so. I held the crystal ball with both hands, blanked out my mind, and then concentrated all my mind on the crystal ball as Elder Alois had instructed. Elder Alois, Melina, and Dora all stared intently at the crystal ball, wondering what kind of light it would unleash.

In an instant, the crystal ball burst forth with a blazing light many times stronger than the sun; my vision went white, and I could see nothing more. Then, a crisp cracking sound came from my hand, and the crystal ball shattered into countless fragments, the blazing light vanishing instantly. What happened? I stared at the crystal shards scattered on the ground, unable to believe I had caused this, because I hadn't even used a tenth of my magic power.

Elder Alois murmured, "How is this possible? This testing crystal could hold three times my magic power, yet you shattered it. How much magic power does that require? How could you possibly possess such power…?" Dora stared at me intently, as if she had just recognized me, a strange glint in her beautiful eyes that made me feel uneasy. Melina was utterly dumbfounded; this was something she couldn't have imagined.

Elder Alois asked me, "Judging from the magical power you currently possess, even a 'Grand Magister' wouldn't be much different. Will, do you know how this happened?"

Of course, I couldn't tell him the truth, so I scratched my head and said, "I don't know either. Before coming here, I was just an 'Apprentice Mage,' only able to use the most basic magic. I don't know how my magical power suddenly became so strong."

Elder Alois glanced at me and said, "It seems that you must have undergone some changes during the 'Time-Space Transfer,' causing your magical power to advance by leaps and bounds. Now I believe Jerome's words even more. Perhaps there are some things you don't quite understand now, but I believe time will prove everything." Then he said to Melina and Dora, "You two go back first. I have some things I want to talk to Will about."

After chasing away the stunned Melina and Dora, I felt much better. Otherwise, the way they looked at me like I was a monster made me really uncomfortable. I looked apologetically at Elder Alois and said, "Elder, I accidentally destroyed your wooden house. You see..." Elder

Alois seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, Will, I almost forgot. How do you plan to compensate me?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Please name your price, Elder."

Elder Alois chuckled and said, "I like straightforward people. Let me calculate... Actually, it's not worth much, about 150 gold coins."

I handed Elder Alois 200 gold coins and said, "Elder, here are 300 gold coins. Please accept them."

Elder Alois declined, saying, "How can I accept so much money from you?"

I smiled and said, "Consider the rest as my tribute to you. Besides, I'll be bothering you often with questions about magic in the future." Elder Alois chuckled as he accepted the gold coins, saying, "

Then I won't stand on ceremony. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have in the future. By the way, I see your magic power is already quite strong, but it seems you don't control it well enough."

I nodded and said, "Elder, you're right. I don't know why my magic power has increased so much." Then I chatted with Elder Alois. During our conversation, I asked about the "Elven Forest." Elder Alois told me that because people forcibly captured elves and signed master-servant contracts to enhance their own magic power, the number of elves had greatly decreased. Therefore, the elven race strictly forbids its people from leaving the "Elven Forest," and few humans can break through the barrier of the "Elven Forest" to enter the elven kingdom. As a result, the elven race is now almost isolated from the world, and it is rare to see elves outside.

"Is that so? In that case, I really want to go in and take a look," I said to Elder Alois with a smile. The elves, a mysterious race, aroused my great interest, and the "Elven Forest" was so close. It would be a pity not to go in and take a look. Elves are peaceful and benevolent beings, naturally adept at gathering elemental energy, and can form contracts with humans to lend them power. Elves are life forms created by the divine power of a creator god. Generally, elves are only half the height of humans. Depending on their elemental attribute, they are divided into fire elves, water elves, light elves, wind elves, earth elves, and dark elves. Humans can sign contracts with elves, establishing an inseparable bond between them. This bond can be a mental contract, a spiritual contract, or a master-servant contract.

Those who form a mental contract with an elf will gain all of the elf's abilities, or even more. At this point, the human and elf will be inseparable, bound by life and death. Humans not only have their abilities maximized but also experience a significantly extended lifespan. However, the elves' lifespan is drastically reduced as a result; when the contracted person dies, the elf will also perish. To form a mental contract with an elf, one must gain the approval of the "Heart of the Elf," requiring complete trust and openness between them.

A spiritual contract is the most common type of contract. After entering into a spiritual contract, a human can acquire 50% to 80% of an elf's abilities, sometimes exceeding 80%, depending on the spiritual compatibility between the human and the elf. Entering into a spiritual contract with a human has little impact on the elf; when the contractor dies, the spiritual contract automatically dissolves, allowing the elf to leave and return to its free state. Both mental and spiritual contracts are entered into by humans and elves on a completely equal footing. After the contract is established, the elf attaches itself to the contractor while retaining its own consciousness.

A master-servant contract, however, is a completely unequal contract, developed by humans to gain greater power. It exploits the elf's weakness, imposed by humans when the elf is vulnerable. A master-servant contract allows a human to acquire more than 80% of the elf's abilities, but the elf subjected to such a contract loses its own consciousness and becomes a complete slave to the contractor. Unless the contractor dies, the master-servant contract will not be dissolved. Even if the contractor dies, the spirit that has been forced to accept the master-servant contract has only a 50% chance of regaining its own consciousness, and will pay the price of losing half of its life. The spirit that cannot regain its own consciousness will die.

The elves worship the forest goddess and love to live in harmony with nature. Their innate advantages—agility and mastery of magic—give them considerable magical power and an air of mystery. Elves are the most pristine of the intelligent life forms on the fantasy continent; each possesses natural magical abilities, reveres a natural lifestyle, and each has a lifespan of nearly seven hundred years. Their numbers are relatively small.

Elder Alois looked at me with surprise and said, "Vell, do you really want to enter the Elf Kingdom?"

"Yes, I just want to go in and take a look. I've always been very curious about the elves; I've never seen one before." I explained with a smile, "I don't have any other intentions; I just want to see it. Besides, with my current magic power, I don't need to borrow the power of the elves, do I?"

Elder Alois nodded and said, "That's right. Your magic power is much higher than mine now. The power of the elves is useless to you, and with your magic power, you should be able to break through the barrier." Then he asked me, "When do you plan to go in?"

I thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it later. I want to learn how to control my magic power first." Indeed, I don't know the extent of my magic power right now, and acting recklessly could really bring disaster, and if things go wrong, it could harm innocent people. After saying that, I remembered Melina's physical condition and asked, "I heard from Aunt Melina that you said her constitution wasn't suitable for practicing magic. What's that about?"

Elder Alois said, "Melina's constitution is indeed not very suitable for practicing magic. Most magic used by magicians in this world relies on their mental power to gather magical elements and express them in a certain way. The stronger the mental power, the faster the magical elements are gathered, the greater the binding force on the magical elements, and the more precise the control over the magical elements. This is why there are distinctions like magician, grand magician, archmage, great archmage, and holy archmage. There are two types of people who are unsuitable for practicing magic. The first type has too weak a mental power; most people fall into this category, which is why there are so few magicians. The second type has relatively strong mental power, but it's diffuse and cannot be concentrated. Therefore, although they can gather magical elements, they cannot maintain the gathered state of the magical elements. Melina falls into this category." (

Volume 1, Chapter 2, The Elf's Curse 1)

I finally understood why Melina's magic practice was almost ineffective; so that's how it was. Undeterred, I asked, "Is there any way to improve my constitution?" To be honest, I asked this question subconsciously, not expecting a definite answer from Elder Alois. But to my surprise, he nodded and said, "That's right, there is a way, as long as we can find the 'Golden Magnolia'."

"'Golden Magnolia'?" I looked at Elder Alois with a puzzled expression as he explained. It turns out that the "Golden Magnolia" only grows in the Elf Forest, and it only blooms once every hundred years when the Holy Moon and the Dark Moon appear simultaneously and shine upon the place where the "Golden Magnolia" grows. If it is not picked in time, the "Golden Magnolia" will bear fruit the moment the light of the two moons moves away and disappear into its only breeding ground. In its long life, it only has five opportunities to show its beauty to the world. When the life of a "Golden Magnolia" comes to an end, after its final bloom praising life, it will turn into dust and return to nature.

However, there are exceptions. When the sun and the two moons appear simultaneously and shine upon the breeding ground of the "Golden Magnolia," the "Golden Magnolia" at the intersection of the three rays of light will bloom for the sixth time. The flower of this sixth bloom is the "Golden Sacred Orchid." The "Golden Sacred Orchid" has five petals with gilded edges, a male and female stamen, and shimmering white jade stamens. Bright golden pollen clusters at the tips of the stamens radiate a soft glow. It's easy to imagine how precious the "Golden Magnolia" is; the most it has ever bloomed is only fifty-four flowers. The "Golden Sacred Orchid," of course, is even rarer. In the eight thousand years since the continental era began, only two "Golden Sacred Orchids" have ever appeared, and they are considered treasures of the Elven race.

The "Golden Magnolia" must be preserved in a magical field surrounded by the six primary elements, or in an elemental space created by a Grand Magus, to prevent it from withering and decaying. The "Purple Magnolia" has many effects. Firstly, it is consumed by warriors or magicians, not only enhancing their power but also potentially reviving them from severe injuries. Secondly, it is most effective for women; bathing in water infused with the "Purple Magnolia" is believed to prevent aging, preserve youth, and improve physical constitution and power. While immortality is not guaranteed, "eternal youth" is a dream for many women.

This rare treasure has only appeared three times in human history, totaling a mere twenty-four blossoms. The first instance was eight thousand years ago, when the king of the magic kingdom who unified the world, "Magic Saint Emperor" Fatal, received care from the elves in his childhood. His unparalleled magic and martial arts skills originated from the sacred temple guarded by the elves. After unifying the world, he declared a hundred miles outside the elven forest a sacred ground, where no race or power was allowed to engage in conflict in any form, or face severe punishment and an eternal curse inflicted by the Magic Saint Emperor.

To express their gratitude to the Magic Kingdom for its rule over the world and to Fatal himself, the Elven race gifted the Magic Kingdom ten "Purple-Gold Magnolias" as national treasures. It was then that the world learned of the existence of such precious artifacts. During the kingdom's millennia-long reign, five of these "Purple-Gold Magnolias" were bestowed upon the five most beloved and illustrious women by Fatal, the first king of the Magic Kingdom. Three more were given by his descendants to those who quelled the three greatest rebellions in the Magic Kingdom's history, in recognition of their loyalty and achievements. The remaining two were lost to the common people after the Magic Kingdom's demise. Every time rumors of the two "Purple-Gold Magnolias" reappearing are heard, they cause a great stir.

The second instance occurred two thousand years ago, during the Warring States period that followed the fall of the ancient Magic Kingdom. It took several hundred years for the six powerful kingdoms surrounding the Elven Forest to quell the millennia-long chaos. Three of these six kingdoms shared a hundred-mile border with the Elven Forest. The Elven race established friendly relations with the six kingdoms, gifting each nation two "Purple Magnolias."

The third instance occurred over five hundred years ago in the village of Rogue, which had just settled in the Elven Forest. At that time, the world was in chaos, teetering on the brink of collapse after a thousand years of war. Survivors from various nations, seeking survival and to escape the devastation of war, left their homes and came to the only remaining haven—the Elven Forest—hoping to live. William Tar, a priest, couldn't bear to see these refugees die tragically. So, William Tar led those who had successfully reached the border from various nations to the outskirts of the Elven Forest. Through his efforts, an agreement was reached with the Elven race.

The Elven race allowed these people to live there, provided they didn't damage the natural environment and worked together to protect the sacred mountain; the hundred-mile stretch of sacred land outside the forest would be their living area. Those who managed to come here possessed strong wills and diverse perspectives on the world, but their most unified thought was that "human greed is the demon that destroys life." So they fully agreed to the elves' conditions and promised, "We will defend this pure land, the sacred forest, and the great holy mountain with our lives."

Thus, Rogge Village was born. Under the leadership of its first village chief, William Tar, the people lived happily there, faithfully keeping their promise to the traveler. In William Tar's old age, the elves, to show their respect for him and his contributions to the holy land, presented him with two newly blooming "Golden Magnolias." This honor deeply moved William Tar, and thanks to the "Golden Magnolias," he became the first "Holy Spirit Priest" in the history of the continent.

"I see," I said to Elder Alois, "since I'm going to the Elven Forest anyway, I might as well see if I can find any 'Golden Magnolias' while I'm there." Elder Alois

reminded me, "The elves are very wary of humans. If you go in, be careful not to clash with them."

I nodded, then, seeing that it was getting late, stood up and said, "Elder, it's getting late, I should go back now. I'll come back tomorrow to ask you about magic again. "

Elder Alois nodded and said, "Oh dear, I almost forgot if you hadn't reminded me. I'll have to stay at the 'Jeromein's' house today, haha." Amidst the laughter we shared, we went our separate ways home.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Back at my temporary home, I found the food laid out, waiting for me to return so they could eat. Uncle Chris, Dora, and Eileen were also there. Seeing me, Dora immediately gave me a sharp flick on the forehead. Lilia and Eileen glared at me angrily. I didn't dare argue and quickly sat down next to Uncle Chris. Uncle Chris whispered in my ear, "Will, you're really not afraid of death, daring to even try and take advantage of our Dora? Now you know how dangerous that is, right?"

I could only touch my forehead and give a wry smile, complaining, "Uncle, it's all your fault, you've ruined everything for me." Uncle Chris chuckled, "

Will, I didn't expect you to get drunk on your first drink. You seem to be having a great time. But what surprised me most was that you spilled all your secrets after getting drunk. I've never heard of anything like that before; it's really hilarious."

I wanted to dig a hole and disappear. I could only angrily yell at Uncle Chris, "Uncle Chris, you still dare to laugh at me? It's all because of your drink! If you piss me off, I'll make sure your bottle disappears!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Uncle Chris nervously clutched the bottle to his chest, watching me warily.

The six of us started dinner in this awkward atmosphere. I was eating heartily when suddenly a sharp pain shot through my thigh. I cried out "Ouch!" and almost jumped up. I didn't even need to look to know it was Lily sitting next to me. She was so cruel; she pinched me so hard. I turned to look, and Lilia was leisurely enjoying her food as if nothing had happened. Looking at the others, they were all feigning composure, but I could tell they were barely suppressing their laughter.

I could only lower my head dejectedly, burying myself in the food in front of me. Suddenly, my right foot hurt again. I didn't need to look to know it was that little brat, Eileen, who was quite cute. Turns out, it wasn't like that at all. Sigh, "Women and petty people are difficult to deal with." Who told me to offend them? I endured the excruciating pain in my foot and devoured my food in a flash. Amidst the astonished gazes of the others, I stood up and said, "I'm full. I'm going back to my room to rest." Back in my room, I lay down on the bed fully clothed, and a jumble of thoughts flooded my mind about the events of the past two days. Lost in these thoughts, I quickly drifted off to sleep…

Dinner continued, but perhaps because of my departure, the atmosphere became heavy. Finally, Uncle Chris broke the silence, saying, "Dora, Eileen, what you did was quite excessive. Will seems very angry."

Dora retorted indignantly, "We were excessive? Dad, why don't you say he was excessive? Today, when Elder Alois tested his magic, I only gave him a small 'fireball,' and he launched a 'fireball' more than ten times larger than mine, almost burning me to death. I dodged it, but Elder Alois's cabin was reduced to ashes. He clearly took advantage of his superior magic to deliberately bully us."

Uncle Chris, clearly unaware of the magic power test, asked, "So his magic is very strong? "

Dora nodded, "Even stronger than Elder Bialos." She then recounted the test, having already told Eileen and Lilia, as neither showed any surprise. Chris, however, hadn't heard of it before, evident from his agape mouth. After

a moment, Chris recovered, exclaiming in surprise, "I never imagined Will's magic was so strong! Heh, it seems best to avoid him in the future. What if he gets angry and unleashes a 'fireball'? I'd be dead for sure!" The

four women present were amused by Chris. Melina retorted, "Brother Chris, what are you saying? Will isn't some bloodthirsty devil! Today's test was just an accident, because he himself didn't know how strong his magic was, and he certainly didn't expect him to unleash a 'fireball' without chanting a spell." "Speaking and laughing, he asked Dora, "I wonder how many gold coins Will paid Elder Alos?"

Dora thought for a moment before replying, "It should be over a hundred gold coins, I wonder if Will can afford it?"

Lilia giggled and said, "Sister Dora, you don't know, Brother Will is a small-time tycoon, he can afford to pay over a hundred gold coins. It's just that those hundred gold coins disappeared in the blink of an eye, they're gone so quickly."

Eileen asked in surprise, "Sister Lilia, is Will very rich?" Dora and Uncle Chris also perked up their ears, waiting for Lilia's answer. But it wasn't Lilia who answered, but Melina. Melina smiled and said, "We heard it from Will, his father was a merchant, and he left him a sum of money after he died." She pointed to the food on the table and said, "Didn't you notice that dinner is a little different today?"

Uncle Chris then realized, "Yes, how could I not notice? Dinner today is much more sumptuous than yesterday's, this meal must cost at least 40 silver coins, right?"

Melina nodded and said, "Yesterday's meal only cost 10 silver coins, but today's dinner cost 40 silver coins. This was Will's request; he said he wanted the food to be better." She then looked at Chris and explained, "Will paid my living expenses, so I could afford such a nice meal. Otherwise, how could I dare to be so 'extravagant'?" She paused, then continued, "I originally wanted everyone to have a happy meal together, but I didn't expect it to end like this." Dora

, Eileen, and Lilia all lowered their heads. Lilia murmured and asked Melina, "Mom, is Will angry?"

Melina shook her head and said, "I don't know. I'll go in and see how he is." She got up and went inside, returning shortly after, and said to everyone, "He's asleep." She glanced at Dora, Eileen, and Lilia and said, "Will isn't a stingy child. He won't be angry over such a small thing. He's just shy and embarrassed." "

Dora said irritably, "He's so lecherous and he calls himself thin-skinned? I've never seen anyone more shameless than him."

Uncle Chris smiled slightly and said, "Daughter, you're wrong about that. You don't understand boys' psychology. When I was his age, I fantasized about marrying forty wives. Then I met your mother and realized that she alone was already a headache for me, so I gave up the idea of marrying anyone else. So, something like Will's is nothing special; it's a very normal thought for boys."

"Oh, is that so? Dad, you mean that boys Will's age all have these kinds of lecherous thoughts?" Dora asked curiously.

Chris smiled and said, "That's right. Almost all boys Will's age have these thoughts, just like girls at this age usually fantasize about marrying a handsome, rich, and powerful man." "Upon hearing this, Dora, Eileen, and Lilia all blushed guiltily, clearly Chris had hit the nail on the head.

Dora, still unconvinced, said, "But Will can't possibly have such thoughts about Aunt May, can he?"

Chris took a sip of his drink and said, "That's hard to say. Maybe Will has a 'mother complex'?"

"A 'mother complex'? What does that mean?" Eileen tilted her head, asking in confusion.

Chris took another sip of his drink and said, "You all know that Will lost his mother when he was very young, so he must have lacked maternal love growing up. Because of this, perhaps he subconsciously develops an attachment and longing for his mother, which is a 'mother complex.' Besides, Melina is so beautiful; you wouldn't guess she's the mother of a daughter as old as Lilia. It's not surprising that Will has feelings for Melina."

Melina blushed deeply at Chris's words and said coquettishly, "Brother Chris, what nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't invite you to dinner anymore."

Chris quickly said, "Melina, don't be angry. I'm just trying to remind you. You're 'blinded by your own involvement,' while I'm 'clear-sighted from the sidelines,' and I see things much more clearly than you. Although you didn't tell me what 'Jeromein' said, I can sense that Will is no ordinary person. He won't be trapped in 'Rogue Village' for the rest of his life like I am. He has his own world." He then said to Dora and Eileen, "Dora, Eileen, I won't interfere with your relationship with Will. Even if you sisters both like Will, I won't stop you."

Dora asked in confusion, "Dad, why do you have such a good impression of Will, this little lecher? Aren't you worried about your daughter's happiness?"

Chris smiled slightly and said, "I trust my eyes. Will is definitely a man of feeling. Maybe he will have many women in the future, but I believe he will cherish each and every one of them." Such a man, though not devoted, is definitely not heartless. There are far more heartless men in this world than devoted ones. I would rather you marry a man who is not heartless than one whose devotion is uncertain, because this world is full of men who are "falsely devoted" and "truly heartless." Therefore, marrying a man with affection, while perhaps not as happier as marrying a devoted man, is far happier than marrying a heartless one.” He then said to Dora and Eileen, “If you want to win Will’s heart, you must seize the opportunity; Will won’t stay in ‘Rogue Village’ for long.” "

Actually, after hundreds of years of war on this continent, the male-to-female ratio is severely imbalanced, and power is worshipped. As long as you have strength, you can get everything you want: power, money, women, everything. Except for the village of Rogue in the Holy Land, women have no status in this world. Common women are alright; they can find a man and live a peaceful, healthy life. As long as there is no war, they are happy. But women with a little beauty either seek out powerful and influential men to live with, or they are robbed, trampled on, and become slaves or playthings. The most pitiful are the women of noble families; they may become stepping stones for their fathers and brothers to gain power, gifts for powerful people, or sacrifices for political marriages. So it is not easy for women to find happiness on this continent.

" Lilia looked at Chris suspiciously and said, "Uncle Chris, how do you know Will won't stay here for long?"

Chris scratched his head and said, "I can't explain why, but I have this intuition." Then he whispered, "I have another feeling, but don't laugh when I tell you." "

Melina smiled and said, "Brother Chris, you tell us, we won't laugh."

Chris took a sip of wine to moisten his throat before lowering his voice and saying, "I've noticed that Will has a kingly aura above his head. It's a kind of 'physiognomy' my father taught me. It's said that people with this kind of kingly aura above their heads will definitely become a regional overlord or a king in the future." He scratched his head and chuckled, "But I don't know if this 'physiognomy' is accurate, because my father only passed down a small booklet to me before he died so I could learn it on my own."

Dora and Eileen exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Dora almost laughed until tears streamed down her face: "Dad, you're too funny. Will becoming a king? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death."

Eileen also clutched her stomach and laughed non-stop: "Yes, Dad, it's ridiculous that someone with a head full of lewd thoughts can become a king."

Melina and Lilia didn't laugh. They exchanged a glance, staring at Chris with surprise, making him feel uneasy. "Melina, Lilia, why are you looking at me like that? As if I'm a monster." Dora

and Eileen also noticed Melina and Lilia's strange reactions. Dora asked Lilia, "Lilia, don't you think what my father said is ridiculous?"

Lilia shook her head. "No, I don't think it's ridiculous at all."

"Hey, Lilia, what's wrong with you and Aunt Melina? Your reactions are weird," Eileen asked, puzzled. Melina

smiled and asked her in return, "Eileen, do you know what I wanted to say?" Eileen shook her head blankly. Melina smiled and said, "I wanted to say that I've known your father, Brother Chris, for many years, and I never knew he had this skill—he can even judge people."

Chris shook his head angrily and said, "Forget it, Melina, if you want to laugh at me, just laugh like Dora and Eileen. I won't blame you. Why say such sarcastic things?" Melina

shook her head and said, "Brother Chris, I don't mean to laugh at you. I genuinely want to praise you."

"Really?" Chris looked at Melina with suspicion. The expression on Melina's face was very serious, and it was definitely not an act.

Melina smiled and said, "Of course it's true, Brother Chris. I'm talking to you very seriously."

Dora seemed to understand and looked at Lilia and said, "Lilia, are you and Aunt Melina hiding something from us? Did Priest Jerome tell you something about Will?" Eileen and Chris also looked at Melina and Lilia.

Melina nodded and said, "That's right, Priest Jerome told us some things." "She glanced at Chris, Dora, and Eileen, and said, word by word, "Do you remember the 'Prophecy of Edgar'?"

"The 'Prophecy of Edgar'?" Chris, Dora, and Eileen all gaped in surprise. Dora asked blankly, "Aunt May, are you saying that Will is the 'Holy Envoy' in the 'Prophecy of Edgar'?"

Melina nodded, "That's what Priest Jerome said."

Dora still couldn't believe her ears: "Will? The 'Holy Envoy'?"

Eileen also expressed deep doubt: "Will become emperor? I still can't believe it."

Chris, on the other hand, seemed very excited: "So you're right about my judgment? I could tell at a glance that Will is no ordinary person."

Lilia smiled: "I don't know how to put it, but I feel there are many mysteries surrounding Will. Like why he had such high magical power today, nobody knows how it happened, not even himself."

Dora frowned: "It's unbelievable that someone with such thoughts in his head could be a 'Holy Envoy'?"

Melina smiled and said, "Who cares if he's some kind of 'Holy Envoy'? It has nothing to do with us." She stood up and announced to everyone, "Dinner is over." For

the next ten days or so, I went to Elder Alois every day to learn the techniques of controlling magic. Actually, I learned it in half a day, but I found chatting with him very interesting. He told me many legends about the "Mystic Continent" and the current situation of various continents, which benefited me greatly. Occasionally, I would also go to Elder Kajelai to learn some martial arts techniques, not for any other reason than to better disguise myself and hide my strength in the future. Elder Kajelai seemed to get along very well with me and even gave me a sword. Although this sword had no name, I could tell it was no ordinary sword, so I simply named it "Unnamed," meaning an unnamed sword.

As for my relationship with Melina, Lilia, Dora, and Eileen, it's a bit complicated. Dora and Eileen seem to enjoy teasing me, especially Dora, who particularly likes to tap my head. I really don't know what that habit is; does she think my head is a drum? Lilia, on the other hand, treats me much better. Apart from occasionally calling me a little pervert, she's quite close to me. As for Melina, I don't know what she's thinking. Whenever my gaze lingers on her for too long, she always taps my head and says, "Little pervert, don't think nonsense." And at this point, Lilia always bursts into laughter. What a strange mother and daughter.

That afternoon, I decided to visit the "High Priest" Jeromein, since I was planning to enter the "Elven Forest" the next day. Having nothing else to do, I figured I might as well see this old man who could see through my disguise and perhaps glean some information from him. When I entered the house, High Priest Jeromein was sitting facing the door. He seemed to have anticipated my arrival, smiling at me and saying, "Vell, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

I looked at him in surprise and said, "Priest, you knew I was coming?"

High Priest Jeromein didn't answer my question but instead asked, "When do you plan to enter the 'Elven Forest'?"

Having already prepared myself, I wasn't surprised and simply replied, "Tomorrow."

High Priest Jeromein nodded and then asked, "Vell, tell me the truth, where did you come from?"

I countered, "Priest, didn't I already tell you? And aren't you a 'High Priest'? Since you said I'm a 'Holy Envoy,' you must know where I came from." Priest Jeromein shook his head and said, “

Vell, I only possess a certain ability to predict the future, to see fragments of it, but I cannot know everything. Vell, tell me the truth. I know you are the ‘Holy Envoy,’ and you are not from the ‘Kuka Empire,’ because your power is now even greater than that of a god. Tell me the truth; consider it my request.”

I hesitated for a moment before saying, “Priest Jeromein, I must admire your abilities. You truly deserve to be the only ‘High Priest’ on the ‘Azure Dragon Continent.’ I can tell you the truth, but you must keep it a secret.” Priest Jeromein said solemnly, “Vell

, I swear on my life, I will never tell anyone.” I knew that given Priest Jeromein’s status and the oath he had taken, it was unlikely he would break his promise. Besides, even if I told him, it wouldn’t matter; I just didn’t want too many people to know and cause unnecessary trouble. Fortunately, Melina, Lilia, and Dora were still somewhat skeptical of my identity as the “Holy Envoy,” otherwise, our interactions would definitely be incredibly awkward. So I told Priest Jerome Ingham my true identity—the Lord of Chaos—and that my main purpose was to prevent the outbreak of the Fourth War between Gods and Demons, and incidentally, to resolve the long-standing war on the "Mystic Continent."

Priest Jerome Ingham excitedly grasped my hand, saying, "Holy Envoy, I never imagined you were the great ruler of the universe—the Lord of Chaos! I believe you will bring peace to the entire world."

I smiled and said, "Priest, please call me Will. Don't forget what you promised me."

Priest Jerome Ingham repeatedly said, "Will, don't worry, I will keep your secret."

I then asked, "Priest, why are you hiding in this remote village?"

Priest Jerome Ingham sighed and said, "We priests cannot truly foresee all future events, and the future may change. The priest's duty is to remind people of potential future events as a warning." "People, our creed is that we cannot change the gears of fate, for to do so would bring a curse. And even if we were to participate, it might not make any difference. For example, if I were to try to persuade the emperors of various countries not to wage war, none of them would listen to me. Those emperors don't truly believe what we say. If the prophecy is in their favor, they will spread it widely to sway the people. If the prophecy is against them, they will scoff at it. Therefore, for me, staying in this place untouched by the flames of war, and observing the ever-moving gears of fate, is undoubtedly the best choice." I nodded silently. Priest Jeromein was right; from his perspective, it was indeed so. After

a moment of silence, Priest Jeromein asked me, "Vell, what are your plans?"

I thought for a moment and said, "I plan to first visit the 'Elven Forest,' and then I'll probably leave soon. Perhaps I'll first go to 'Garrison City,' the capital of the 'Kingdom of Mosby.'" Priest Jerome thought for a moment and said, “

Garrison City has the Celestial Star Magic Academy, one of the two great magic and martial arts academies of the Azure Dragon Continent. The academy's dean is an old friend of mine. Perhaps I can recommend you to study there, since the noble children of the Mosby Kingdom all study there, which might be helpful to you.”

I happily replied, “That would be wonderful, of course.”

Priest Jerome continued, “By the way, didn’t you want to enter the Elf Forest tomorrow? I know their Elf Queen, Desrui. I’ll write you a letter of introduction so that the elves won’t misunderstand you. Twenty years ago, when I entered the Elf Forest, Desrui was just a little girl, having just succeeded her deceased mother as the new Elf Queen. I wonder how she is now?” For decades, the elves have been almost completely isolated from humans. They are rarely seen outside the forest. This is a consequence of human greed; countless elves were captured and forced into contracts, leading to the elves' hatred of humans. Now, unless an elf possesses very high magical power, they are not allowed to leave the "Elf Forest."

He then continued, as if remembering something, "Actually, on the entire 'Fantasy Continent,' there are two forests inhabited by the elves. One is the 'Elf Forest,' which is very close to here. The other is the 'Lost Forest,' which spans the White Tiger Continent and the Black Tortoise Continent, and there is another group of elves there. These two races of elves were originally together, but a war hundreds of years ago caused a split within the elf race, dividing them into two factions, each supporting a different power. After the war, they went into hiding in these two forests, and they remain so to this day. However, because the number of elves in the 'Lost Forest' is much smaller, many people are unaware that elves still live there." "This old man really knows a lot, and he even knows the Elf Queen Desrui, which will definitely save me a lot of trouble. I also took the opportunity to ask about the route into the Elf Forest, and learned that the barrier of the Elf Kingdom is about ten miles inside the Elf Forest.

Afterwards, I inquired about the current situation on the Azure Dragon Continent from Jeromein. Jeromein told me that the largest country on the Azure Dragon Continent, the Lanfeng Empire, is currently at war with three other countries, while the Mosby Kingdom is currently neutral and not involved in the war. In the north, the Lanfeng Empire, in alliance with the Machia Kingdom, is at war with the Pas Kingdom and the Jesses Kingdom. The war was started when the second prince of the Lanfeng Empire was assassinated while on a mission to the Jesses Kingdom. The Lanfeng Empire therefore launched a war against the Jesses Kingdom, while the Pas Kingdom is an ally of the Jesses Kingdom, and the Machia Kingdom supports the Lanfeng Empire."

In the south, the "Lanfeng Empire" and the "Gas Empire" are locked in a fierce battle for control of the mineral resources along the border. Only the small, isolated "Morsby Kingdom" remains untouched, but this is only temporary, as it risks being drawn into the war at any moment. The other three continents are in a similar state, with war raging everywhere.

Seeing that it was getting late, I took my leave and went to visit Elder Yaros. His cabin had been rebuilt. I told him that I would be entering the "Elf Forest" tomorrow, and he simply cautioned me to be careful. After chatting for a while, I took my leave and went home. Back home, Melina and Dora were cooking in the kitchen, while Lilia and Eileen were playfully bickering. Seeing me return, Lilia happily greeted me, grabbing my hand and pouting, "Where have you been? Why didn't you go to learn magic? And Dora said you didn't go to Elder Kajelai to practice martial arts, where did you go?"

Eileen huffed, "Lilia, you don't need to ask. He must have gone to peep at some girl." Her imagination was certainly vivid, but it wasn't impossible. Rogge Village had over fifty households and about twenty girls, but unfortunately, the three most beautiful were Lilia, Eileen, and Dora. The other girls couldn't compare, which made me completely uninterested in them. If it weren't for this reason, I might have actually done what Eileen said and gone after other girls.

"Oh, really? Will, which girl have you set your sights on this time?" I knew it was Uncle Chris without even looking. Every day at this time, he would inevitably arrive with a bottle of liquor for dinner. Since I arrived, Uncle Chris, Dora, and Eileen had been eating dinner with us. And after receiving my 100 gold coins, Melina raised the standard of dinner, and Uncle Chris ate with great relish every day. Of course, another reason for his happiness was that Dora and Eileen had actually granted him special permission to drink, which made me quite annoyed.

I turned around with a wry smile. Who else could it be but Uncle Chris? He stood in front of me with a grin, pulled out a bottle of liquor from his pocket, and waved it at me demonstratively. I suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Living a carefree life like Uncle Chris, content with his lot, wasn't without its own kind of happiness. However, I knew that Uncle Chris had regrets. What man doesn't hope to achieve something great? Uncle Chris's fondness for drinking was probably partly a way of expressing his feelings through alcohol.

Uncle Chris pulled me down to sit and asked urgently, "Will, tell me quickly, which girl have you got your eye on? Let me give you some advice, I guarantee you'll get her easily."

Before I could speak, Dora's voice came over first: "Dad, if you keep corrupting Will, you can forget about drinking anymore." Dora came out with the dishes, angrily placed them on the table, and deliberately stepped on my foot as she passed by. Poor foot, it had suffered so much these past few days, all because I said I wanted to get them into bed while I was drunk.

I rubbed my "poor" foot and complained to Uncle Chris, "Who did I offend? I just went to talk to Priest Jerome, that's all. I never want to live like this again." I said the last sentence deliberately because I was about to tell them my plan.

"What?" Melina also came out with the food, just in time to hear what I said. At this moment, all the women also came out with their food, filling the table. I hadn't figured out how to tell them yet, so I just chuckled and said, "It's nothing, Aunt May." Everyone took their seats, and Melina looked at me and said, "Will, if I heard correctly, you just said you didn't want to live like this anymore, right?" Dora, Eileen, and Lilia's expressions all changed, and they all looked at me.

Uncle Chris also looked at me in surprise and said, "Will, you're not serious, are you?"

Seeing this, I didn't know what to say to them, so I just forced a laugh and said, "I was just kidding, come on... everyone, let's eat."

Melina didn't let me off the hook, staring at me and asking, "Will, are you hiding something from us? Tell me, are you leaving here?" A woman's intuition is really sharp. I only said it half-jokingly, and Melina already knew I was leaving. It's a terrifying intuition. Dora, Eileen, and Lilia's expressions all changed drastically, staring intently at me. If looks could kill, I don't know how many times I would have died. Only Uncle Chris remained calm, just glancing at me before silently drinking his drink.

I didn't want to see the women's stares. I looked down at the food on the table, scratched my head, and carefully chose my words: "It's true I'm leaving, but not so soon."

"Why, Will, why are you leaving?" Lilia's tearful face was incredibly "heartbreaking." I glanced over and saw that Dora and Eileen both had dark faces, heads down, and lips tightly pressed together. Although Melina tried her best to restrain herself, I could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.

I smiled and said, "Lilia, what's wrong? I'm going to study at the 'Heavenly Star Magic and Martial Arts Academy' in 'Garrison City.' I don't want to stay here doing nothing all day. I want to try a new life."

Melina thought for a moment and asked, "Will, you don't know anyone there. How can you get into the 'Heavenly Star Magic and Martial Arts Academy'? Besides, most of the students there are from noble families. It might not be easy for you to get in." "

I smiled and replied, "The dean of the 'Heavenly Star Magic and Martial Arts Academy' is an old friend of Priest Jeromein. Priest Jeromein wrote me a letter of recommendation, so admission won't be a problem."

Lilia asked resentfully, "Brother Will, did you go to see Elder Jeromein this afternoon just for this?" I nodded, and Melina asked in a deep voice, "Will, when are you planning to leave?"

"I don't know, because I still have to go to the 'Elven Forest,' and I'll decide when to leave after I come back." I answered casually while eating.

"What? You're going to the 'Elven Forest'?" My words surprised everyone again.

"Yes, I plan to go first thing tomorrow morning. I've never seen an elf before. The 'Elven Forest' is so close, it would be a shame not to go in and take a look." I glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Elder Jeromein knows their 'Elven Queen,' I'll be fine. I'm just curious and want to go in and take a look." "

Lilia said sweetly, "Brother Will, will you take me into the 'Elf Forest' with you?"

"No, I can manage on my own, but if I take you with me, I won't be able to take care of you if something goes wrong." This was the reality; I could manage on my own, but taking Lilia, this burden, would be much more troublesome.

Lilia was clearly still unwilling and turned to Melina, pleading, "Mom, say something, let me go with Brother Will."

This time, Melina sided with me: "Lilia, Will is right. Will can protect himself, but if you're with him, that's another story."

"Fine, I won't go then! I don't care!" Lilia angrily threw down her chopsticks and stormed into the house.

Melina said to everyone, "Lilia's just being childish; she'll be fine in a bit. Don't worry about her. Let's eat; the food's getting cold." Everyone ate in silence, even the usually boisterous Dora and Irene sisters were completely still, heads down, devouring their food. The atmosphere was incredibly somber. I couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, so I stood up and said, "I'll go see Lilia."

Lilia stood quietly in my room, the moonlight streaming in through the window, bathing her in its soft glow, making her look like a beautiful white jade statue. Her slightly swollen eyes were filled with sorrow, a sight that evoked pity. Her appearance broke my heart, and I forced myself to turn my head away, avoiding looking into her beautiful, desolate eyes.

"Are you... really leaving?" Hearing her melodious voice become so sorrowful, my heart felt like it was about to weep: "Yes." "I answered cruelly.

Lilia closed her eyes, two clear tears streaming down her cheeks. Her lips trembled slightly as she whispered, "Please, don't leave me. I'll give you anything you want if you stay..." Anything you want? That's quite a generous offer. A thought suddenly occurred to me, and I smiled maliciously, "You really want everything?"

Lilia opened her eyes in surprise, and seeing my devilish smile, her body visibly trembled, but she still met my gaze firmly and whispered, "Yes."

"Then I'll take you." I pulled her close, hugged her tightly, and pressed my head down, pressing my lips to her bright red lips. Her lips were cool and soft, and I kissed her deeply, greedily sucking the sweet saliva from her mouth, savoring this taste I had never experienced before. I held her soft, delicate body tightly, and her body trembled from head to toe. On my lips, I could feel her lips and teeth trembling slightly.

This kiss excited me immensely. It was as if countless fireworks exploded in my mind, and I was overwhelmed with excitement, yet my consciousness became blurred. My heart pounded violently, almost leaping out of my mouth. Kissing her cool, soft, fragrant lips, sucking the sweet saliva from her mouth, the restlessness in my heart gradually vanished. In my perception, it seemed as if countless centuries had passed before Lilia's cool body finally became hot, and she had to struggle to break free from my embrace—she was almost suffocating from my kiss.

I looked up, my gaze dazed as I stared at the beautiful girl before me. Lilia wasn't in any better shape than I was; her large, unfocused eyes betrayed her lingering confusion, and her pale cheeks were flushed crimson as she gasped for breath. I stared at her blankly for a long while, until reason gradually returned to me. Looking into her eyes, which were slowly regaining their clarity, I murmured, "I'm sorry." Treating a young girl with such brutality was something I hadn't wanted to do.

Lilia's reaction, however, was unexpected. She wrapped her arms tightly around my neck and nestled into my embrace again. Holding me close, she whispered, "Vilgo...your arms...are so...warm..." I trembled once more at the sound of her beautiful voice. I gently embraced her soft body, and after a long, long time, I whispered, "Lilia, aren't you angry with me?"

Lilia asked me in a soft moan, "Why should I be angry with you?"

"Because... I kissed you forcibly... without your consent..." Lilia slowly shook her head, her hair brushing against my face, making it tickle. "No... I did it willingly... From the first moment I saw you... I dreamed of being with you... Brother Will... I really like you..."

I gently pushed her away and whispered, "Lilia, I'm just a little pervert..." Lilia threw herself into my arms again, sealing my unfinished words with her lips. Feeling her passionate kiss, I was also infected by her enthusiasm, and I kissed her passionately. After a long time, we finally separated. She looked at me quietly, her eyes sparkling, and said in a soft voice, "Brother Will, I don't want you to say that about yourself..."

"But it's the truth..." I was about to argue when a soft hand pressed against my lips, silencing my next words. Lilia gazed at me intently and said, "Whether you're a 'little pervert' or not, from the first moment I saw you, I knew I could never leave you." Her face flushed, and she buried her head in my shoulder, whispering, "I don't know what's wrong with me, but from the moment I saw you, all I could think about was you. When you said you liked me after you got drunk, I was so happy. Although I was jealous because you also liked Mom, Dora, and Eileen, I promise I won't be jealous anymore. Vilge, don't leave me."

I hugged Lilia tightly and said softly, "I swear, I will never leave you in this life."

Lilia whispered, "And Mom, Dora, and Eileen, they all love you too." Really? Dora teases me every day, and that's considered love? This kind of love is unbearable. Lilia nestled in my arms and whispered, "Spare the rod and spoil the child, they only tease you because they like you." "

I chuckled and teased Lilia, "We'll talk about them later, Lilia. Your tongue tastes really delicious."

"Will, you're so mean! That was my first kiss! You took advantage of me and now you're laughing at me. Look how skilled you are! Tell me, how many girls have you kissed?" Lilia blushed and buried her head deeply in my chest.

"It was my first kiss too. As for how skilled you are, I guess it's just instinct." I couldn't explain it either.

"Instinct? Then why haven't I?" Girls sometimes seem to like being unreasonable. I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Seeing my expression, Lilia couldn't help but laugh, "Fine, I believe you."

I smiled and changed the subject, "Lilia, you're still not full? I'm not full either."

A beautiful smile bloomed on Lilia's face. She left my embrace, took my hand, and whispered, "Then let's go eat together. I've only just taken a bite." We reappeared hand in hand before everyone. Seeing the surprised looks on Dora, Eileen, Melina's, and Uncle Chris's faces, Lilia blushed and let go of me. I clearly saw a hint of resentment in Dora and Eileen's eyes. Forgive me, I won't hurt you again.

Dinner continued in an awkward atmosphere, and no one uttered a single word until the end. Uncle Chris was the first to leave, and Lilia helped Melina clear away the dishes. Only Dora, Eileen, and I remained. Dora and Eileen looked at me with complicated expressions, hesitant to speak. I knew it was time to act, so I reached out and pulled Dora and Eileen into my arms.

"You little pervert...let me go..." "Will...let go...ah..." Before Eileen could struggle, I tightly embraced her with my right hand and pressed my lips to hers. At first, she struggled a little, but soon she responded passionately. Easily, my tongue pried open Eileen's teeth, intertwining with her sweet little tongue. Haha, she finally gave me her first kiss. After a long while, when Eileen could barely breathe, I finally released her. Looking at her flushed face and her desperate breathing, I was almost intoxicated. She collapsed. Eileen, her face flushed, looked up at my smirking, ecstatic expression, and blushed again.

Dora stared in astonishment as I kissed her sister, her face burning red, her bright cherry lips exhaling a captivating fragrance. Before she could fully recover, I leaned down and kissed her red lips. Dora, like a startled rabbit, shrank back, her eyes filled with fear, anticipation, and longing. Finally, our lips met. It was just a light kiss, as light as a petal falling on our lips, but it was a kiss that touched both Dora and me. It brought immense stimulation.

Dora's lips were so soft, so fragrant, so sweet. Even knowing it was a gentle trap, a doomed path for heroes, I was willing to succumb. I only wanted to continue savoring this intoxicating feeling, even if the heavens collapsed, the world was destroyed; even if my life came to an end, and I was instantly shattered to pieces for this feeling, I wouldn't care anymore.

In that instant, Dora felt as if millions of volts of lightning had struck her, electrifying her soul to leave her body and fly to heaven. It was a thrilling feeling that transcended the mundane world, a feeling... It terrified Dora, but it was precisely this fear that made it all the more exciting. That single, light kiss almost swept us both into a frenzy of desire. But Dora wasn't an ordinary girl; driven by reason, she gently pushed me away. This gentle push brought us both back to our senses, but the kiss seemed to have exhausted all our strength. Dora gasped for breath, her eyes still burning with lingering desire.

After a long while, Dora finally came to her senses, coquettishly saying, "Will, how dare you... forcefully kiss me and my sister!"

I pressed the two women's bodies against me, whispering in Dora's ear, "That felt so good, want to do it again?"

Dora retorted coquettishly, "You little pervert, let me go right now!" Unlike Dora's reaction, Eileen remained silent, holding me tightly, making me feel the little girl's affection for me.

"Sister Dora, do you really hate me that much?" I looked at Dora with a "resentful" expression. Dora stared at me blankly for a long time, then suddenly reached out and hugged me tightly, burying her head in my chest, and whispered, "You little pervert, I still give up."

Eileen then lifted her head from my embrace: "Will, are you still leaving?"

I leaned down and kissed her, saying, "If you're willing to leave, I can take you with me."

Dora looked up, smiling shyly, and said, "Will, can you afford to support us?"

I smiled and kissed her back, saying, "Sister Dora, you underestimate me, Will. You'll find out your husband is a millionaire later."

Dora pouted, "Who said I was going to marry you?"

I laughed, "Then don't regret it later, don't blame me for not taking you."

Dora reached out and pinched my thigh hard: "You dare?"

"Wow!" I cried out, "Dora, why are you always so violent? I only want Eileen, okay?"

Dora giggled and said, "It's too late to back out now. You're the one who pulled her into your arms, so she's sticking with you." She then hit my head hard again: "Now, take Eileen and me home."

Arriving at Uncle Chris's house, I said to Dora and Eileen, "You two go in, I should head back too."

"Goodnight." Dora and Eileen each gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, like dragonflies skimming the water, and then dashed inside before I could react. I gently touched my cheek; the faint scent of their perfume lingered. I took a deep breath and turned to walk towards Melina and Lilia's house.

Back home, I found Melina standing in the yard, but Lilia was nowhere to be seen. I asked, "Where's Lilia?"

Melina smiled and said, "She's taking a bath." She then gave me a playful smile: "You little pervert, you must be feeling pretty smug now, right?"

I chuckled, walked behind Melina, and pulled her into my arms with my strong, muscular arms. I gently rubbed my cheek against her pink face and whispered, "Aunt Melina, you haven't agreed to my proposal yet, how can I be smug?"

Melina felt a wave of weakness wash over her as I held her, inhaling my strong masculine scent. She felt incredibly comfortable, lying lazily against me, but said coquettishly, "You little pervert, what do you want? Let me go!" This is a perfect example of saying one thing and meaning another. Melina clearly wanted to agree, but her mouth wouldn't admit it.

Of course, I must mention the marriage culture of this continent. In the "Fantasy Continent," if a woman's husband dies, she can remarry her son and become his "mother-wife." The "mother-wife" holds a higher status than future wives and becomes the head of the household. This is actually a method used by many countries and races on the continent to ensure the continuation of their race. It guarantees the absence of widows and family harmony, while also ensuring population growth. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me marrying both Melina and Lilia at the same time. However, generally speaking, it would be awkward for a mother and daughter to marry the same man, so this situation is rare on the continent.

The tradition of "mother-wife" began with the first emperor of the ancient magic kingdom, "Magic Saint Emperor" Fatal. His first wife was his mother, who had been his only family since childhood. After ascending the throne, he made his mother empress, officially making her his wife, leading the harem, and ruling the world as a mother. Fatal's mother, as empress, led his wives and concubines to help him govern the empire after the war. In just over a decade, she restored order to a world that had collapsed, gradually bringing it back to life. Among the people, she was known as the "Holy Queen."

I showed Melina what I was going to do with my actions; I turned her to face me. Before she could react, I lowered my head and kissed her cherry lips. Melina was startled at first, then passionately reciprocated. I kissed Melina intensely, my tongue exploring her mouth, chasing and entwining with her delicate tongue, unwilling to part. At that moment, Melina and I were so close; I knew no force could stop us from being together. After a long while, we separated, gazing at each other silently.

"Vilgo..." Lilia whispered, having just finished showering and witnessed Melina and I being intimate. I looked away from Melina's face and down at Lilia, who was pouting as she walked to my side. I smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied my Lilia?" Melina smiled back at Lilia.

"You're laughing at me, bad Vergo, bad Mommy!" Lilia puffed out her cheeks, looking at us. I reached out and pressed my hands against Lilia's cheeks, squeezing out the breath she was holding in her mouth, making an unpleasant sound.

"Swish..." Lilia's face turned red. Amidst our laughter, she threw herself into my arms, playfully punching me with her little fists: "You're bad, you're bad. You stinky Will, you're bullying Xiaoya. Bad Will, I hate you, I hate you."

I laughed and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "I'm bad, I bullied Xiaoya, I'm stinky Will, I hate you. So, Xiaoya, do you want to marry stinky Will?"

Lilia raised her blushing face and said, "I do, I want to be your bride, to be with you forever, you can't leave Xiaoya."

I lifted Lilia's chin and said, "I want you to be my bride, to be with me forever, you can't leave me, do you promise?"

"Mmm..." Lilia answered firmly. I grinned at Lilia: "Then let's kiss now." Saying that, I kissed Lilia with my big lips.

"You're so annoying... mmm..." Lilia tried to dodge but couldn't, and I kissed her. Melina watched us with amusement, her heart filled with happiness. After a long while, I released Lilia, watching her blushing face and rapid breathing, laughing happily. Then I put my arm around Melina's waist, pulling both women into my embrace: "No matter what my future holds, I will make you happy."

Melina said softly, "No matter how many women you have in the future, I will love you."

"Me too," Lilia said to me, echoing Melina's sentiment. The three of us hugged tightly, and from that moment on, our fates were intertwined. Melina and Lilia, along with Dora and Eileen, would stand by me as I faced the challenges of fate…

Volume 1 Chapter 2 The Elf's Curse 2

"Hmm, perfect timing, just as dawn is breaking." I glanced out the window, yawning as I got out of bed. I hadn't slept well last night; how could I possibly sleep soundly after winning the hearts of four beauties? I was so excited I could barely sleep all night. The images of the four women kept flashing before my eyes; I could see them the moment I closed my eyes. How could I possibly fall asleep?

So I lay in bed and started counting sheep: 1 sheep… 2 sheep… 3 sheep… 3000 sheep… 30000 sheep… Huh, still not asleep?… 30001 sheep… 30002 sheep… 30003 sheep… 40000 sheep… 50000 sheep… 80000 sheep… 90000 sheep… 99999 sheep… I finally realized with painful relief that counting like this would only make me more awake. I would never believe in such a low-level, boring, and stupid hypnotic method again. Then I started letting my mind wander, all sorts of thoughts flooding in, and before I knew it, I finally fell asleep.

Actually, I only dozed off for a short while after waking up, but the thought of the important trip to the "Elf Forest" energized me, and I quickly washed my face and headed out. Melina and Lilia must have fallen asleep very late last night, just like me; they weren't making a sound when I woke up, clearly sleeping soundly.

Before I even reached the village entrance, I saw what looked like a figure standing there in the distance. As I got closer, I saw it was Eileen. She was huddled up in a ball, shivering from the cold. When she saw me approaching, she jumped into my arms. Without a word, I used my light magic, and the area within a foot of me instantly became warm as spring. Eileen warmed up immediately and said sweetly, "Brother Will, your arms are so warm."

I pinched her little nose and said, "Little girl, what are you doing outside instead of sleeping?"

Eileen wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, clinging to me like a koala, and said sweetly, "I wanted to go to the 'Elf Forest' with you. I really want to see what elves look like." "Brother Will, I've been waiting for you here all night, please take me with you, okay, Brother Will..."

I never expected Eileen to be so persistent. Thinking about how much effort this little girl had put in, running to this dark village entrance in the dead of night, shivering in the night wind, I couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness. "Eileen, you don't have to go like this if you want to go."

Eileen said sweetly, "You won't even take Lilia, so you definitely won't take me if I don't do this."

I gently smacked Eileen's little bottom and said, "I'm really impressed with you, you little devil. This is a one-time thing, don't do it again." Saying this, I placed my hands on Eileen's little bottom and gently lifted it up to make her more comfortable.

Eileen cheered, "Yes, my good Wilge!" She looked up at me and said, "Wildge, I'm so sleepy, I'll take a nap on your chest." She buried her face in my chest and actually fell asleep. This little girl definitely hadn't slept last night; she was already at the village entrance waiting for me. I was both annoyed and amused; I was truly defeated by this little girl. The

"Elf Forest" was a place humans dared not venture into. The people of "Rogue Village" could only gather some wood at the edge of the forest; no one dared to venture deep inside. Upon entering the "Elf Forest," I raised my alertness to the highest level, remaining fully vigilant. The forest was filled with ancient trees reaching for the sky, vines entwined, and the ground was covered with tangled tree roots and moss. Bushes grew interspersed among the trees, and rare birds and animals were everywhere, but most were species I couldn't name. For example, there were giant pink bats that appeared during the day, peacocks with beautiful tails that could fly, and animals with rabbit-like features but covered in hedgehog-like spikes.

The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled golden light. The fresh air was filled with the scents of moss and decaying wood. Small animals peeked out from the trees and bushes, their curious eyes watching us. Being in the primeval forest gave me a sense of peace and tranquility, a feeling of being one with nature. However, a roar from an animal, mixed with a girl's squeal, suddenly jolted me back into a state of calm.

Eileen jumped down from my arms, and we followed the sound. After navigating through a dense thicket, we found a huge monster with two heads and six legs, each head adorned with a sharp horn, approaching a little girl leaning against a large tree. The girl was like a doll, with emerald green hair, fair skin, pointed ears, and translucent wings. She wore a light blue, tight-fitting short dress and was incredibly charming. The same word flashed through Eileen's mind—elf. She was an elven girl.

The elven girl, though unharmed, seemed utterly terrified. Despite still managing to summon water darts with her hands, she couldn't harm the monster in the slightest, only enraging it further. Without a second thought, Eileen and I rushed out, drawing "Unnamed" and standing in front of the girl. Seeing us, the little girl, as if grasping at a lifeline in despair, sobbed, "Big brother... big sister... save me..."

I didn't answer, my gaze fixed intently on the giant monster—it must be a magical beast, its body covered in black scales, with only a tuft of triangular red fur visible where its neck met its torso. It stood on three hind legs, twice my height, with long, sharp horns on its two heads, beneath which were red compound eyes and gaping maws, and three sharp claws on each of its three forelegs. Upon seeing us, the monster seemed to sense danger and stopped its advance, watching me warily.

The monster paused for a moment, then swung its sharp claws towards me. I charged at it with incredible speed, slashing "Unnamed" through the air to meet the oncoming claws. However, instead of severing them as I expected, it clashed with metal. I tried to deflect "Unnamed" across its lower abdomen, but again, it was futile. The powerful sword aura emanating from the sword only enraged the monster, which then launched a frenzied attack.

I used my agile movements to lure the monster away from Eileen and the elf girl, but the space was limited, and I was eventually cornered under a large tree. Killing the monster would have been easy; with my powerful magic, a fireball would have burned it to death. However, to test the martial arts skills I learned from Elder Kajelai, I used almost no magic to fight it head-on. Anyway, if I couldn't win, I'd just burn it to death with a fireball; playing with it wouldn't hurt.

The enraged monster let out a piercing roar, its three front claws sweeping towards me—but this was the opportunity I had been waiting for. I used the tree trunk as a springboard, leaping into the air and hovering above it. The monster's claws swept across the trunk, cleaving the tree in two. My attack followed immediately. I unleashed a sword strike from above, "Unnamed" generating a fierce whirlwind, piercing the triangular patch of fur at the junction of the monster's neck and torso with lightning speed. Then, I pushed off the monster's body, swiftly withdrawing "Unnamed," landing and standing still—the entire movement executed in one fluid motion. Black liquid began to gush from the monster's wound, its body trembled violently, and it collapsed towards me. I dodged, and the monster fell to the ground with a dull thud before falling silent again. I sheathed "Unnamed" and went to Eileen and the others.

"Thank you, big brother, big sister." The little elven girl, having overcome her fear, curiously looked at Eileen and me.

"What's your name?" I sized up the elven girl: she had long green hair and pointed ears typical of elves, a pair of large, bright eyes, and a delicate nose set in her rosy face. She looked about eleven or twelve years old, but elves have much longer lifespans than humans, so she might actually be older than me.

However, elves mature much more slowly in both mind and body than humans, right? So, it's probably true she's still a child. But her beauty is even more striking than the rumors suggest. She'll definitely be a stunning beauty when she grows up; if she came to the human world, she'd be breathtakingly beautiful. Heh, what am I thinking? Could it be that I, Will, have feelings for this little girl? I couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.

“My name is Luvia,” the little girl answered obediently. “What are your names, big brother and big sister?”

“My name is Will, and her name is Eileen.” Eileen looked at Luvia as if she had discovered something she loved, took her hand, and stroked her rosy little face, saying happily, “Your name is Luvia? You’re so cute and pretty!”

“Big sister is pretty too, and big brother is very handsome. You are even prettier and more handsome than us elves,” Luvia said obediently, her words really sweet.

At this moment, I asked Luvia, “Luvia, why didn’t you stay in the elven realm but ran here and got attacked by monsters?”

“I…I…sneaked out…” Luvia whispered.

“Why did you want to leave the ‘Elven Forest’?” “I heard there are many fun things outside.” I smiled wryly. This was truly a clever and daring little elven girl: “The outside world is actually not fun at all, and it’s very dangerous, even more terrifying than that monster.” “

But I really want to go out and see the world! Staying in the Elf Kingdom all the time is so boring!” Luvia pouted.

“Good girl, Luvia,” Eileen soothed her by patting her head. “It would be dangerous for you to go out now. There are many bad people out there, and you don’t have enough self-defense skills. Wait until you grow up before you go out.” Actually, Eileen didn’t look much older than Luvia, and seeing her speak to Luvia in such a bossy manner almost made me laugh out loud.

“Wouldn’t that mean waiting for several more years?” Luvia pouted, looking unhappy, but she didn’t object. Perhaps the fright she experienced with the magical beast had given her some awareness and understanding of danger. But from her words, I learned about the growth cycle of elves. It turns out that the time it takes for elves to grow from infancy to adulthood is roughly the same as that of humans, but the transition from adulthood to old age is quite slow. It is this latter process that makes elves live much longer than humans, thus overturning my previous assumptions about the life cycle of elves.

I said to Luvia, "I'll take you back to the Elf Kingdom; we're going there anyway."

Luvia suddenly remembered something frightening and nervously said to me, "Brother Will, please don't tell my sister I ran away! My sister is very fierce; if she finds out I ran away, I'll be in big trouble… Just say… just say I accidentally got lost… and met you in the forest."

I smiled. This clever and quirky little girl—no wonder she called me so affectionately; she needed my help. I teased, "Do you think your sister would believe a lie like that?"

"What should I do... Big brother, you have to save me! If my sister finds out, it'll be terrible. If... if you promise to help, I promise to marry you when I grow up... or if you can't wait, I'll introduce my sister to you, if Sister Eileen isn't jealous..." Luvia was anxious, tears welling up in her eyes, almost crying.

Eileen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not jealous."

I glared at Eileen reproachfully and said, "Why are you meddling too?" Then I said to Luvia, "Who taught you these strange ideas?" I muttered to myself, "What a strange upbringing."

"No one taught me. That's what fairy tales say. The prince saves the princess, and the princess has to marry the prince... Big brother already saved me once, so... so I'm too young to marry Brother Will, so I have to marry my sister to Brother Will..."

Fairy tales are truly bad reading material, they poison people's minds. I smiled wryly and said, "Introducing such a terrifying sister to me seems like you're passing on disaster to me."

"My sister is a bit fierce, but she's very beautiful, the most beautiful flower in our elf race—everyone says so. And when I haven't done anything wrong, she's very kind to me… Brother Will, you have to help me! You saved me once, you can't just leave me alone!" Luvia looked pitiful and pleaded with me. "Brother Will

, please think of something." Seeing the pitiful Luvia, even Eileen chimed in.

I thought for a moment and said, "If all else fails, I'll plead for you."

Luvia tilted her head and thought for a moment, but probably couldn't come up with a better idea, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She smiled and tugged at my sleeve, saying, "Brother Will, let's go back. I'll show you around the elven kingdom; I know best which places are the most fun."

"Okay, let's go now…" I suddenly stopped, sensing an unusual fluctuation in the air.

"Viergo, what's wrong?" Eileen asked, noticing my strange behavior.

"There's a murderous aura in the air. We're surrounded," I replied, holding "Unnamed" to my chest, ready to strike.

"Come out," I said coldly towards the woods. A dozen or so people emerged, surrounding us in the clearing. Pointed ears, beautiful or handsome figures, close-fitting armor—mostly women, most men—they were all elves. The leader was an elven female warrior; although she was only about half my height, she looked to be seventeen or eighteen in human years. Of course, an elf's actual age was much older.

The female warrior spoke in a cold voice: "Outsiders, why have you invaded the 'Elven Forest'? Luvia..."

Luvia called out upon seeing the female warrior, "Sister."

"Luvia, come here. Why are you with these people?" Luvia shrank behind me, saying, "Sister...they are all Luvia's...friends."

"Hmph, who gave you permission to be so insolent?" "This isn't your place to speak, come here now." Luvia hesitated for a moment, then ran to the female warrior's side: "Sister, they really are my friends...they meant no harm, they even saved me."

"Shut up, I'll deal with you when we get back." I carefully examined the elven female warrior: her short, flowing green hair framed a beautiful face, beneath slender eyebrows were a pair of large, bright blue eyes, just like Luvia's, a delicate, straight nose paired with luscious red lips, and red crystal earrings adorning her pointed ears. She had a slender, pink neck, a tall and slender figure, and wore purple short armor and a short skirt, but the close-fitting armor only covered her chest and abdomen, making her breasts appear even more prominent. Her exposed navel, lotus-like pink arms, and long, slender feet exposed under the short skirt made her look very sexy and wild.

"If you look at me one more time, I'll gouge your eyes out." "The female warrior said angrily. Her beautiful face, always radiating anger, fully exposed her fiery personality, but to me, it presented a different kind of beauty.

"You leave yourself there and won't let anyone look at you? Do you think you'd gouge out someone's eyes if they glanced at you? Is that how you behave, noble lady of the Elf race?" I said calmly.

"I won't let you look, your eyes are too evil." As she spoke, the female warrior had already drawn her longsword, the tip pointing directly at me, the longsword glowing white and indistinct.

"Sister, don't hurt them... Brother Will and Sister Eileen are good people. Brother Will, this is my sister Nilos, just bow your head to her and apologize, say you won't stare at her like that anymore and everything will be fine... Sister is actually very easy to talk to, except for her fiery temper..." Luvia pleaded fearfully, "Sister's magic and swordsmanship are very powerful in our race, and when she gets angry, she'll do anything, it's terrifying." “

Luvia, stop talking. Let me teach him a lesson first. I hate lecherous and arrogant men like him.” Nilos’s chest heaved with anger. She swung her white lightsaber at me.

I lunged forward, and “Unnamed” deftly deflected the attack. I shifted my position to the other side and said, “Wait! Is this how you treat guests without even knowing the facts? Is this how the Elven people treat their guests?”

“Hmph, trespassing in the Elven Forest is a capital offense.” Nilos was also surprised by my swordsmanship and paused her attack. “But to let you die peacefully, if you have anything you want to say before you die, then let you say it.”

“Sister, please! They killed the monster and saved Luvia. Please show mercy.” Luvia pleaded.

Nilos glanced at the monster lying dead on the ground and said with slight surprise, “The Angora monster, one of the three most terrifying monsters in the Elven Forest, was killed by you?” He paused, then said, "Although you saved Luvia's life, your trespassing into the 'Elven Forest' with malicious intent and your disrespect towards me are unforgivable crimes punishable by death. Human, out of consideration for your kindness to Luvia, I will allow you to give your last words and take your own life."

I coldly replied, "I came on someone's behalf. Is this how you elves treat your messengers?"

"We elves have only hatred for humans, no friendship. Stop making excuses. No matter who entrusted you with this mission, you are doomed to die. Human, I never imagined you were nothing but a coward who clings to life, only capable of making excuses in the face of death, lacking any courage to take responsibility." "

Nilos was furious. She already harbored resentment towards me, and her failed attack had further humiliated her. She wouldn't listen to any explanations, and now there was no way to reason with her. I, too, was burning with rage at being so disrespected and insulted, and had lost the patience to explain. My curiosity about the elves had been overshadowed by my anger, and I said to Eileen, 'Eileen, let's go.'

'Will...this...' Just as Eileen hesitated, Nilos had already ordered the elven warriors, 'Everyone, attack! Don't let them escape! Capture the women, and kill all the men!'

I turned back, furious, and said, 'Nilos, you've gone too far!' I raised 'Unnamed' into the air, and blazing sword energy surged throughout my body. The fire elements in the space resonated under the influence of the furious energy, condensing, pulsating, and flowing around me, forming a dazzling ring of fire that swirled and danced around my entire body."

As the "Unnamed" sword turned crimson in that instant, my once fair complexion became a vibrant red, and my black eyes were replaced by a brilliant, burning gold. My flowing black hair suddenly turned a dazzling crimson, and my magical power and sword aura surged forth with unprecedented scale and intensity.

All the elven warriors, intimidated by my overwhelming aura, were on high alert. The entire clearing was shrouded in an aura more terrifying than death itself. Sunlight could no longer penetrate this space, and the forest outside the clearing had been swallowed by a strange darkness, casting the fire elemental light into an eerie red glow.

Unable to withstand the inexplicable pressure, the elven warriors finally unleashed their power. Led by Nilos, they charged at me from all sides, unleashing elven swords glowing with white light and various elven attack spells—all the simultaneous attacks and light blades created chaos on the field. But when they reached me, they were like stones sinking into the sea. Several elven warriors were thrown back by the immense tension of the sword's aura, while Nilos, who was struggling to hold on, and a few stronger elves were no match for my protective magic, only able to stop three feet away from me. And this was after I had learned to control the amount of magic, using less than ten percent of my power.

I roared, "Nilos, listen carefully! If you anger me, the disaster of a thousand years ago will befall the elven kingdom once more. The elven forest will cease to exist, and the elven race will be utterly wiped out. This misfortune is caused by your own hand today." Hearing my prophetic declaration and seeing my incredibly strange and powerful appearance, even the fierce Nilos began to tremble, and for the first time, fear and regret appeared on her face.

Suddenly, Nilos turned to listen intently. After a moment, she solemnly addressed the elven warriors, "Everyone, sheath your weapons and retreat." All the elven warriors withdrew to the edge of the forest in the clearing. Only then did Nilos anxiously say to me, "Honorable guest, it was Nilos's fault. I sincerely apologize. Please calm your anger and let bygones be bygones. Her Majesty the Queen of my race invites you to our kingdom for a discussion."

Hearing this, my anger subsided, but the power I had gathered was inevitably released. I plunged the "Unnamed Sword" into the ground, channeling my magical power and sword aura into the earth. Immediately, a large swathe of trees outside the clearing collapsed with a roar, and flames began to burn from the roots, igniting a forest fire. Just as I was about to use water magic to extinguish the fire, it spontaneously combusted. It seemed that the "Elven Forest," under the influence of the "Elven Kingdom's" magical field, possessed automatic protection and repair capabilities.

Led by Nilos, we headed towards the heart of the "Elf Forest"—the "Elf Kingdom." Along the way, Nilos asked about Luvia's departure from the "Elf Forest." Luvia hesitated, unsure how to answer, so I chimed in, "Luvia accidentally wandered into the forest and got lost. She has already received her due punishment, so please, Miss Nilos, spare her the matter for my sake."

Nilos snorted and said, "You stinky man, why should I care about your face? Is your face even pretty?" Although she had apologized to me under duress earlier, she had now reverted to her brash ways, seemingly still resentful of my flirtatious gaze.

Eileen whispered mockingly in my ear, "You little pervert, you've met your match, haven't you? It'll be hard to turn her into your collection. Not every beauty is as easy to get along with as I am. She's a rose with thorns." After what happened last night, Eileen had become much more lively and cheerful, and even started teasing me.

I whispered to Eileen, "So you're just offering yourself up for me to pick? How fortunate I am!" Eileen spat lightly, her face flushing red. Seeing Eileen's shy expression, I couldn't help but smile knowingly. At this moment, Nilos seemed to disapprove of my intimate banter with Eileen, letting out a cold snort, which brought me back to my senses. I wasn't too agitated by Nilos's earlier sarcasm, simply saying, "A stinky man's face is certainly not as pretty as a beautiful woman's."

Nilos glared at me fiercely, but because of this interruption, she forgot to continue asking about Luvia. Being with a feisty beauty gave me a fresh and exciting feeling. We stopped in the center of the forest, facing a hazy, misty barrier, like flowing white clouds with occasional flashes of blue light, completely obscuring the mysterious world within the mist.

Seeing our astonished looks, Nilos said proudly, "This is the Mist Barrier of our Elven Kingdom. Since our race retreated here a hundred years ago, it has been formed by the thirteen greatest priests of our race, who gathered magical elements together. Unless guided by our elven people, outsiders cannot enter. Invasions from other races are all helpless before the Mist Barrier." This statement subtly expressed her sarcasm and dissatisfaction with my earlier statement about attacking the Elven Kingdom.

I said calmly, "The Mist Barrier is like the Elven Kingdom's defenses. History has proven that there are no impenetrable walls in the world. War is won through both orthodox and unorthodox methods. If the enemy arrives with lightning speed and captures an elven person to guide them, the Mist Barrier will collapse on its own. Your people cannot stay in the kingdom forever without contact with the outside world, can they? Even if you don't leave the 'Elven Forest,' you still need to leave the barrier and go into the forest to obtain resources that cannot be provided domestically. Trying to use the Mist Barrier to live in seclusion will only lead to complacency and eventual capture by the enemy." My words left Nilos speechless for a moment, and even the elven warriors wore thoughtful expressions.

After a moment's thought, a sly glint flashed in Nilos's azure eyes as she said, "You speak eloquently, but it's all empty talk. Do you have the courage to cross the Mist Barrier alone without the help of my people, to prove you're not just a smooth talker? If the Mist Barrier is truly as vulnerable as you claim, then of course you can do it. Otherwise, you're just spouting empty words and don't possess the ability you boast of."

I knew Nilos was deliberately making things difficult for me because she harbored resentment towards me. I gave her a cold look and replied, "Miss, you're deliberately misinterpreting my meaning. Normally, I could ignore such deliberate attempts to make things difficult for you. But since it's a beautiful lady's request, I have no reason to refuse."

"Vell..." Eileen advised, "Why are you making a scene out of spite?" I gave Eileen a confident smile, reassuring her with my eyes, and withdrew "Unnamed" towards the Mist Barrier. Actually, I had long intended to try this; with my abilities, what could possibly be difficult for me? Besides, I couldn't let Nilos look down on me; what face would I have then?

I carefully observed the changes in the Mist Barrier and discovered that it was composed of three magical elements: light, water, and wind. Its power was indeed astonishing, but it was impossible to perfectly harmonize three elements of different natures. Others might not notice this, but I could easily detect the disharmony within. I realized that even someone without my level of magical power could pass through this barrier.

After a moment's thought, I made up my mind and thrust "Unnamed" into a point in the flowing mist. A tiny gap instantly opened and continued to widen, allowing light to penetrate and illuminate the dim forest we were in. When the gap was large enough, I followed the momentum of the sword and pierced through the mist, disappearing amidst the astonished and disbelieving gazes of the crowd. As my body was engulfed by the mist, the gap behind me closed.

After my eyes adjusted to the white sunlight, a vast green grassland appeared before me under the azure sky, dotted with unique pink elven buildings. These elven dwellings were all built with domed roofs, and semi-circular vaulted ceilings carved with unicorns, moons, and stars occupied most of the wooden houses. Each house had a round window on one side and a semi-circular door in the center. Although not magnificent or grand, the buildings were exquisite in their simplicity and harmonious with nature, exuding a style of harmonious unity between elves and nature.

At the center of the complex lies a spacious plaza, in the center of which stands a striking white, square, pointed-roof stone building. Its simple design creates a solemn and dignified atmosphere. This solitary, towering stone structure, despite its abruptness, achieves a remarkable balance with the surrounding low, round houses.

To the west of the grassland lies a lake occupying one-fifth of the space. On its shore, some white horses rest peacefully, drawing water—good heavens, these are not horses, but unicorns. Their pure white bodies gleam with a pale blue light, their wings neatly folded, and a blue, cone-shaped horn on their forehead flashes with blue lightning. Add to that a pair of eyes deeper blue than sapphires—the legendary beast has come to life before our eyes. Beside the unicorn, a group of elven children splash and play, creating a harmonious and unique picture with the proud and majestic unicorn.

Just as I was quietly admiring this natural beauty, Nilos, Irene, Luvia, Robb, and the other elven warriors appeared beside me one after another through the mist. Upon seeing me, Nilos immediately asked, "You...how did you do that?"

I smiled faintly and said, “Nature’s ultimate design embodies simple beauty, and the arrangement and combination of magical elements also embodies the laws of beauty. Moreover, the closer it is to perfection, the more powerful the magic can be—but just like a painting, it can never reach absolute perfection. Therefore, as long as you can find the imperfections, you have found the breakthrough point. This sounds simple, but finding the breakthrough point is not something that can be done simply by having powerful magic. You also need to have an innate sense of beauty and acquired aesthetic literacy. However, I think there aren’t many people who can see through this and break through the Mist.”

Nilos was stunned for a moment, but still retorted without letting up, “Nonsense, incomprehensible, what kind of nonsense is this? You are not only arrogant and conceited, but also mentally unstable. You were just lucky to pass through the Mist, but you talk like you’re so great. I’ve never seen such a disgusting person as you.” Although she said this, her tone was obviously much weaker than before.

I paid no heed to her words, and Nilos remained silent, leading us through the pink houses and along a path paved with five-colored crystals towards the towering white building in the center of the square. A few meters from the two large brown doors, Nilos stopped and said to Eileen and me, "My mother… Her Majesty the Queen invites you two guests in." Eileen and I walked towards the door. The letter from Priest Jeromein had already been delivered by an elven warrior; I wondered what it contained. Just

as I reached out to push open the doors, they opened automatically, revealing a soft, holy white light from within, though I couldn't see what was inside. I took Eileen's hand and walked confidently into the light. Once inside, my vision suddenly cleared, and I felt a sense of liberation—even if the interior was spacious, it was still quite small compared to the outside, so theoretically I shouldn't have felt this liberation, but I genuinely experienced it.

The vast interior space was sparsely furnished, except for a massive, three-meter-wide, ten-meter-high crystal emitting a white light standing in the center. The entire towering building had only one floor, all the walls painted pure white, and the soaring spire was constructed of transparent crystal. Looking up, one's gaze could pierce the heavens from the spire, inspiring a sense of sublimity and expansiveness, and also evoking a profound reflection on the insignificance of life. Before the giant crystal stood a graceful figure; due to the backlighting and distance, I couldn't make out her features, but her presence instantly filled the empty space.

"Welcome to the 'Elf Kingdom,' you who have traveled through time and space." "As the uniquely magnetic and elegantly gentle female voice entered my ears, the person slowly approached me. As she drew nearer, I gradually saw her face clearly: a snow-white suit that blended seamlessly with her pale skin, the whiteness of her entire body flowing into one, complemented by her waist-length emerald green hair, creating a layered effect of snow-white and emerald green. Her

tender green eyes, paired with her high, not-too-long nose, made her appear like two..." Two tender green stars shone on the snow-covered hill. Her angelic face radiated a holy glow, and beneath her white robes, her graceful figure still retained the youthful beauty of an eighteen-year-old girl, exuding an aura of unparalleled elegance and solemnity. The queen appeared to be quite young, perhaps equivalent to a woman of twenty-six or twenty-seven in human years, though her actual age was certainly much older. My heart pounded wildly again; Eileen beside me could surely hear it.

"Your Majesty, please forgive our intrusion," I said, bowing slightly, and then introduced Eileen to her. After exchanging pleasantries, Queen Desrui asked me, "Have you met my two daughters—Nilos and Luvia?"

Seeing me nod, the Queen sighed and continued, "They are not my biological daughters, but my adopted daughters. Their backgrounds are quite tragic. Five years ago, a group of noble soldiers from the Farana Empire, led by the Empire's Third Prince, Klisvan, went hunting in the Elf Forest. Nilos and Luvia's parents were killed by Klisvan as prey, leaving them as orphans. Nilos, in particular, witnessed her parents' deaths, and thus harbors deep hatred and hostility towards humans. Therefore, if she has offended Your Excellency the Holy Envoy in any way, I hope you will not take offense."

I breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why Nilos harbored resentment and hostility towards me. However, upon hearing this, I merely chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, although I may be a bit narrow-minded, I am quite magnanimous towards women." "Then, before she could speak, I stated my purpose for coming: 'Your Majesty, I have two purposes for coming. First, out of curiosity about the elves, I wish to see for myself where they live and reside; second, I hope to obtain two 'Golden Magnolias.'

Queen Desire was silent for a moment before saying, 'The preciousness of the "Golden Magnolia" is something the "Holy Envoy" should know. The elves have no precedent of giving away "Golden Magnolias" casually.'

I knew that too. It was indeed unreasonable to ask someone to give up "Golden Magnolias" for no reason. How could there be any gain without paying a price? Fortunately, I had already thought about this problem. I had this idea when I was talking to Elder Alois about the elves, also as punishment for the crimes that humans had committed against the elves: humans forcibly captured elves and signed master-servant contracts to enhance their own magic power, leading to a sharp decline in the number of elves over the past hundred years." I smiled and said to Queen Desire, "Your Majesty, you need not worry. I have prepared a gift for the Elven race, a gift that should be irresistible to them."

Queen Desire's beautiful eyes flashed with admiration: "Your Excellency, the 'Holy Envoy,' what kind of gift is it?"

I smiled and said, "Actually, it can't really be called a gift. Perhaps it's more accurate to say that it's the inherent right of the Elven race." "Saying this, I glanced at the astonished Eileen and the Elf Queen Desrui, placed my right palm on my heart, and calmed my mind. A ball of white light enveloped me tightly. Eileen, already aware of my strength, wasn't particularly surprised, but the Elf Queen Desrui stared at me with her mouth agape in astonishment. This was because when a person's magic power reached a certain level, their entire body would emit light when using it. Different levels of magic power resulted in different colors of light: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, cyan, and purple. Humans could only reach green at most, elves could only reach blue, and gods and demons could only reach cyan and purple. White was even higher than purple, a level that even gods and demons couldn't reach, yet I could. No wonder the Elf Queen Desrui was astonished.

Under the astonished gazes of Eileen and the 'Elf Queen' Desrui, I unleashed the earth-shattering curse later known as the 'Elf Curse': 'I, as the 'Holy Envoy' Weir...'" In Randy's name, an eternal curse was unleashed. From this moment forward, all "master-servant contracts" imposed on elves would be dissolved. From then on, the elven race would only be able to accept "mind contracts" and "spiritual contracts," and would have the power to choose whether or not to accept them. As punishment for the greedy humans who forcibly captured elves to sign "master-servant contracts," all humans who forced elves to sign such contracts would have their magic permanently and completely vanished.

This day, September 25th, 7991 in the continental calendar, is historically known as "Elf Escape Day." On this day, the magical elements of the entire "Fantasy Continent" fluctuated. All elves who had signed "master-servant contracts" regained consciousness and escaped from their masters, while their masters lost all their magic. The entire continent was plunged into chaos. Even the "Divine Realm" and the "Demon Realm" sensed this unusual disturbance, and the center of this disturbance was the "Elf Kingdom," located in the heart of the "Elf Forest."

All the elves outside the temple saw a white pillar of light shoot straight into the sky from the temple roof. The immense fluctuations of magical elements alerted them to something unusual, and they all gathered around the temple. I hadn't expected this curse to consume so much of my magic power, as it included the magic power needed to break all elven contracts and the enormous magic power potentially required to sign a new "master-servant contract" after its termination—comparable to a "supernova explosion." Had I not possessed the power of the universe, I, the Lord of Chaos, would surely have self-destructed and died. Even so, after casting the curse, as the white light dimmed, I collapsed, utterly exhausted.

"Viergo, what's wrong?" Eileen noticed something was wrong and cried out, reaching out to grab me. "Elf Queen" Desrui instantly teleported behind me, embracing me and letting me slump into her arms. Ah, such a warm feeling. It wasn't for nothing that all my hard work had been for nothing; I never imagined my spell would almost kill me. It seems I'll need to lie in bed for ten days to two weeks to fully recover. I've never been so exhausted. My eyelids were so heavy that I didn't even have time to utter a word before falling asleep in Elf Queen Desrui's arms.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Huh, where am I? I opened my eyes, only to be greeted by a pink gauze curtain. Through the curtain, I could see the colorful patterns inlaid with five-colored glazed tiles on the roof. Where am I? I looked around in confusion and found myself lying on a large bed. The bed was large, like two double beds pushed together, and I was wearing a white bathrobe. The room was tastefully furnished; on the table beside me sat a large candlestick, several candles burning side by side, illuminating the room brightly. I stared blankly at this unfamiliar room, momentarily unsure if I was dreaming.

"Hero, you're awake." A surprised voice rang out, and four beautiful elven maidens stood by the bed, gazing at me with delight. Oh dear, my heart began to pound wildly again. I really can't stand beautiful women, except for fiery ones like Nilos who didn't elicit any reaction from me. But these four maidens were truly beautiful. Elves are known for their handsome men and beautiful women, and I dare say these four are the most beautiful of the beautiful; I have a good eye for people. Because on my way here, I've encountered quite a few elven maidens, and they've all been beautiful.

"Where am I? How did I get here?" My head was still a little dizzy, and I couldn't remember some things, so I asked the elven maidens.

“This is Her Majesty the Queen’s bedchamber. You were carried here after collapsing in the temple, my lord. You’ve been unconscious for seven days. Her Majesty will be overjoyed to know you’ve awakened. Rebecca, go and inform Her Majesty that the hero has awakened.” A young girl responded and left. This is the bedchamber of the Elf Queen Desrui. I’m actually sleeping in her bed—is this some kind of omen?

“Don’t call me ‘hero, my lord,’ it sounds awkward. Just call me Will. What’s your name?” I asked the girl who had answered earlier. From her words, I knew I had slept for seven days. Actually, I shouldn’t have been unconscious. It’s entirely because my current human body can’t withstand such a large amount of magic. This is related to the fact that I haven’t fully adapted to this body yet. I believe that it won’t be long before I fully adapt to this human body, and this won’t happen again.

“My name is Sistine, this is Vess, and this is Dalanie,” Sistine said, pointing to the other two girls. The two young girls also greeted me sweetly, "Lord Wel, what are your orders?"

I smiled wryly and said, "I find the title 'Lord' really awkward. Why do you call me that?" Weiss and Dalanie helped me sit up, and Sistine placed a pillow behind my back so I could comfortably lean against the headboard.

"Because you are the great benefactor of our entire Elf race, and we Elves will revere you for generations to come." "Sistine explained to me what happened after I fainted that day. Apparently, the elves sensed something unusual happening within the temple, and the magical elements in the space fluctuated strangely, all converging around the temple. Later, Queen Desri appeared and told them that I had used my own curse to break the elves' age-old nightmare—the master-servant contract—and punished the humans who had harmed them. Everyone cheered, though a few expressed doubt. But in the following days, elves from all over the continent returned to the Elven Forest. Now, hundreds of elves have broken free of the contract and regained their autonomy, and no one doubts me anymore.

From Sistine's words, I knew that Queen Desri hadn't revealed my identity as a 'Holy Envoy,' and I felt relieved. If everyone knew what kind of 'Holy Envoy,' what would be the point? Too many people talking, and the more people know a secret, the less secret it becomes. It seems Queen Desri hasn't been blinded by greed; she clearly realized it was best to keep my identity a secret."

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Sistine said to me, "It's Her Majesty the Queen." She then bowed with Vess and Dalanie to greet "Queen of the Elves," Desrui. Leading the way was Queen Desrui, followed by Princess Nilos and Luvia, and finally Rebecca, who had gone to fetch them earlier. Wait, where's Eileen? Where did she go?

Queen Desrui rushed to the bedside and took my hand, saying, "Your Excellency, the Holy Envoy, you're finally awake." As she spoke, I noticed that no one showed any surprise. Clearly, they all knew my identity as the Holy Envoy. It seemed that the four women, Sistine and Desrui, must be confidantes of Queen Desrui.

Seeing that I had noticed Eileen's absence, "Elf Queen" Desrui released my hand and explained with a smile, "Holy Envoy, there's no need to worry about your little sweetheart, Eileen. She's been keeping you company these past few days and hasn't been able to rest. I had no choice but to cast a sleep spell on her, and she'll be asleep for a while longer." "As she said this, a playful smile appeared on her face. I also noticed that the four girls, including Sistine, were all secretly smiling, even Nilos, who was usually hot-tempered and never gave me a good look, showed a rare smile, which made me stunned again. Nilos's smile was really beautiful. She also noticed that I was staring at her blankly, and she didn't get angry anymore. Instead, she blushed slightly and glared at me. I couldn't imagine that the fiery Nilos would do such an extremely feminine thing.

Knowing that Eileen was alright, I was relieved. I could imagine that this little girl must have been exhausted these past few days. I knew she was capable of doing such silly things. From the fact that she got up in the middle of the night to wait for me at the village entrance so that I would bring her to the 'Elf Forest,' I knew she was a silly but adorable little girl. Luvia, that mischievous little princess, climbed onto the headboard of my bed and whispered in my ear, 'Brother Will, when I grow up, I must marry you. You can't leave me.' After saying that, she kissed my cheek before climbing off the bed."

Being publicly professed my love in front of everyone was a first for me. Even with my usually thick skin, I couldn't help but blush. "Queen Elf" Desrui smiled and said to Nilos and the other women, "You may all leave now. I need to speak with the 'Holy Envoy' alone for a few minutes." Nilos, Luvia, and Sisti left the room one after another. Only then did "Queen Elf" Desrui turn around, sit on the edge of the bed, and take my hand. "Vell, I really don't know how to thank you?" Vell? Calling me so affectionately, could it be that she...? What am I thinking?

"Your Majesty, I'm not doing this for your thanks." I shook my head forcefully, trying to banish the fantasies from my mind.

"Don't be so formal! She's already calling you Vell, why are you still calling her Your Majesty?" Desrui now sounded like a young girl flirting with her lover, not like the "Queen Elf" at all. I stared at her in astonishment. Desrui playfully scolded, "Don't you recognize me? Or do you think I'm too old?"

Even a fool would understand the affection in her words. I looked at her with delight, scratching my head, and asked, "Should I call you Sister Rui or Rui'er?"

"Whatever you want to call me," Desrui said, then pounced on me, kissing me deeply with her fiery lips. This was the first time a woman had ever kissed me first. I instantly forgot the world, forgot time; it was as if only Desrui and I existed in the universe. I savored the sweetness and tenderness in her mouth, and she responded passionately. The only sounds in the space were our rapid breathing. I don't know how long it lasted before we finally parted.

"Why are you suddenly being so kind to me?" I smiled and pulled Desrui into my arms, letting her delicate face press against my chest. Desrui nestled against my chest and murmured, "Twenty years ago, my mother—the previous 'Elven Queen'—was wounded and died in battle leading her people against humans who were secretly capturing elves. I succeeded her as the new 'Elven Queen.' From the moment I took over as 'Elven Queen,' I vowed to sacrifice my personal happiness and dedicate my life to the entire 'Elven Kingdom.' I wanted to bring peace and happiness to the entire elven race. I thought I would never find my own happiness again, but unexpectedly, fate sent you to me, Will. On behalf of the entire elven race, I thank you."

Before I could speak, Desrui continued, "From the moment you cast the 'Elven Curse,' our elven race has submitted to you for generations. The 'Golden Magnolia' you requested, we will naturally provide." Besides, we have gifts for you that you'll like—our elven beauties, Sisti, Rebecca, Vess, and Dalani, are the most beautiful maidens in our race. They belong to the four elements of wind, light, earth, and darkness, respectively. Combined with Nilos's fire and Luvia's water, they form a complete six-element magic system. I'm giving them all to you; you shouldn't refuse, right? In addition, I am also yours, but since I am Nilos and Luvia's mother, to avoid awkwardness, I can only be your lover. But don't worry, you will be the only man in my life, and as the "Elven Queen," I cannot leave my people, so I cannot always be by your side. The six of them can stay with you. Luvia is a little young, but you just heard her confession; a year or two later is fine. Of course, besides the seven of us, if you've taken a fancy to other maidens, as long as they are unmarried, we can grant your wish.”

Faced with this situation, how could I possibly say "no"? I pulled Desrui closer to me and said softly, "Sister Rui, you've been so good to me, how could I say no? Although I enjoy collecting beautiful women, I don't want to take advantage of anyone. With the seven of you, I'm already content." I paused, then teased Desrui, "Sister Rui, when did you fall for me? Was it the first time you saw me?"

Desrui retorted coquettishly, "No way! Back then, I really wanted to gouge out your annoying, lecherous eyes. I even wondered if Jeromein, the 'High Priest,' had made a mistake. Later, I realized I was wrong about you. Although you are a bit lecherous towards girls, you have a kind and compassionate heart. Do you know how worried I was about you after you fainted, and how much I regretted my shallow impression of you before?" She smiled sweetly at me, tilting her head slightly, and said, "Please accept my apology." "

An apology is of course done with the mouth, but not with words, but with a kiss." Desrui once again pressed her lips to mine, engaging in a "verbal battle." Our tongues intertwined endlessly, but I gradually grew unsatisfied with just our tongues entwining; my hand slipped inside her collar, slowly caressing her proud breasts, kissing her lips, her eyes, and her beautiful neck. Just as we were about to lose control, a figure burst in with a sob, interrupting our intimacy: "Wilge..."

Needless to say, it was Eileen, whom I hadn't seen for days. In fact, she saw me every day, but I was unconscious. Eileen threw herself into my arms on the bed, completely ignoring the presence of the "Elf Queen" Desrui, because at that moment, only I existed in her eyes. This girl's timing was truly terrible. Reluctantly, I withdrew my hand from Desrui's breasts and plunged into a passionate kiss with Eileen. Desrui tried to pull away from my grasp, but I held her tightly.

Sometime later, Nilos, Luvia, and Sisty quietly entered, watching me and Eileen kiss passionately with shy smiles. In the end, I had no choice but to kiss them all one by one to show that I treated them all equally. The most unforgettable was Nilos; I never imagined this fiery fire-elemental woman could be so gentle and charming. This trip to the Elven realm was truly a great success.
