Chapter 297: Preparation Before Leaving (2)

"Ely, is this little fairy the G.o.ddess of Blessings?" Evelyn glanced sideways, wondering what she thought. She was somewhat surprised to find out that their G.o.ddess was this small.

"Mm, please don"t doubt that. This little fairy is the same G.o.ddess who has guarded and guided the Human Race since ancient times. Also, please don"t ask why the G.o.ddess of Blessings has the appearance of a human fairy. It may sound offensive and rude." Elysia reminded that with a gentle reminder.

Of course, it was received with a positive response from the three girls around her. At that moment, the white cat tugged at her clothes a little for attention.

"Master, unblock." Vanessa reminded her master regarding their spirit connection.

Elysia was a little confused at first, but she soon realized what Vanessa meant. She was unable to send greetings via their spirit connection, so that was clear.

In that instant, Elysia unblocked Vanessa"s connection line for communication. She did the same for Nell because she was okay now. "Oh my, it"s all right now, Vann. Sorry to temporarily block our connection because I needed to do it last night."

"It"s okay, master." Vanessa didn"t need a reason because the most important thing was that she could communicate with her master again through their spirit connection.

Meanwhile, the three girls" attention around Elysia was divided between the G.o.ddess of Blessings and the white cat. They just heard a girl"s voice from the cat, right?

"Ah, this is the first time I"ve heard your sweet voice, Vanessa." Evelyn put the white cat on her lap.

"Hum, we heard Vanessa"s voice two days ago. However, Vanessa was in the form of a huge winged tiger." Ella stroked the cat gently. She often forgot that this cute cat was a Spirit Beast.

"Well, you"re right, Ella." Evelyn didn"t want to continue the conversation. It was painful just remembering it.

A few moments later, the G.o.ddess of Light came out of the bathroom. She was no longer wearing her divine dress but an elegant, casual white dress.

It was a bit similar to Elysia"s dress. Was it done to detract from attention? Well, with that heavenly appearance and stature, the G.o.ddess was still the G.o.ddess... Stunning to whatever she wore.

Seeing all the attention on her once again, Elena smiled faintly and walked over. "Now is the time for us to go."

She glanced at the little G.o.ddess who was still sleeping soundly, wondering about this sleeper who didn"t wake up despite the surrounding noise.

Elena shook Nell"s body with her slender finger gently. "Little one, it"s time for you to wake up. We"ll go, and you"ll come along."

"Uhm." Nell responded but didn"t open her eyes in the slightest. A moment later, she flapped her wings and laid back down on Elena"s head, half-conscious.

"..." Everyone was speechless seeing that.

The G.o.ddess of Blessings was fond to sleep, so the G.o.ddess of Sleep? Since the G.o.ddess in question was sometimes present in certain people"s dreams to convey revelations or blessings, that might be possible. Elena and Elysia were wondering ridiculously.

Elena heaved a subtle sigh, then made a summer hat with magic to cover the little G.o.ddess who slept so casually on her head.

"..." Now everyone other than Elena was speechless because it was a bit ridiculous but never mind.

"Please join the others and say goodbye to the master of this mansion. I will follow you." After saying that, Elena used invisible magic and disappeared from the sight of everyone. Only Elysia knew her whereabouts now.

"El-Ely, your master is still there, right?" Evelyn pointed with her palm, feeling doubtful and amazed.

"No, my master is waiting for us near the door. She is already wearing her shoes while holding an umbrella, ready to go." Elysia shook her head and walked towards the door.

Since it was decided, the others immediately followed. They headed straight for the living room, and the three people who were going back to Aeddoterra City together were already waiting there.

Due to several reasons, Elysia and her group said goodbye to Fran"s parents and Rosie"s parents without exchanging many pleasantries.

"Ah, already about to leave? Don"t want to have breakfast before leaving? The journey to Aeddoterra City is a long way, and it"s best not to travel on an empty stomach." Rosie"s mother advised with concern.

"No, mother. Ely has explained earlier. Also, grandfather shared about last night"s events, right? Please don"t worry, we will arrive at the destination very quickly because of Ely"s master." Rosie shook her head slightly.

"All right, then be careful." Rosie"s mother could only comply with that. She would disrespect the G.o.ddesses if she insisted.

Then, Rosie and Fran hugged their parents, saying goodbye once again before leaving with their group. Their grandfather was absent at the mansion, but Rosie and Fran were not worried as they would meet him in Aeddoterra City this afternoon.

"Are you all right, Rosie, Fran?" Evelyn expressed her concern. She was aware that this sibling-like cousin felt a little sad.

"En, we"re fine, Eve." Rosie gave a rea.s.suring smile in response, but Fran just nodded.

Elysia was silent, realizing that Rosie and Fran just felt a little homesick because they had just stopped for a while, and they needed to leave again.

"Ely." Rosie suddenly called.

"Yes?" Elysia slightly tilted her head, waiting for the next.

"Uhm, can Fran and I be present at the top-level meeting with you? We"d like to know too, please?" Rosie pleaded while clasped her hands.

"Okay, let"s go together." Elysia had no objection whatsoever. She didn"t even wait for Fran to ask like Rosie.

"Eh?" Rosie was a little stunned to hear how easily Elysia gave a yes.

"Well, Sir Harold will also be there because he is one of the authorities on Emperor Elliott"s side." Elysia smiled kindheartedly.

"Uhm, you"re right, Ely. Haha-ha..." Rosie laughed awkwardly.

Her grandfather rarely spoke in anything complicated like the military or war with either her or Fran. They might not have been allowed to come if they asked him. Not to mention, the top-level meeting was special because two G.o.ddesses would be present.

As the carriage continued toward the northern city gate, Rosie felt nervous and agitated due to her excitement. She knew that she would meet the G.o.ddess of Light and the G.o.ddess of Blessings soon. So different from Fran, who still had his calmness.

"Ah, I remember! We forgot one person." Evelyn suddenly raised her hand.

"Hm? We"re still seven people, just like before." Ella counted everyone in the carriage, but she didn"t find anyone missing.

"We forgot about Miss Hannah. She was a.s.signed by Emperor Elliott to look after us, right? But, we forgot about her and left her at the Rainhard Family"s mansion. So unfortunate." Evelyn shook her head and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"Ah-uh, well... Maybe, she"s still guarding us somewhere, Eve. If you look around, there are a lot of Spirit-level experts and above guarding us right now." Elysia glanced out the window. The experts in question were indeed all around the carriage, in disguise as ordinary knights.

"Uh? Really?" Evelyn also glanced at the window, trying to see the surrounding knights. Well, she couldn"t tell them apart.

But, Ariel and Maximilian gave their confirmation, so Evelyn could only nod innocently.

"Uhm, Ely, is your master really among us now?" Rosie glanced left and right as if she wanted to search for divine existence with her eyes alone.

"Uhm, wait a moment. Well, my master is relaxing up there." Elysia pointed her finger upwards.

"On the carriage roof? How did you know that, Elysia?" Maximilian stroked his beard while looking up at the carriage ceiling.

"I asked and got an answer." Elysia lifted her shoulder in a half shrug. She didn"t want to answer too much about it.

"I see..." Maximilian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was so close to the two G.o.ddesses, but he couldn"t sense their divine existence at all.

Really, a mortal like him would not possibly understand the divine magic of omnipotent and omnipresence.

As they pa.s.sed the city gate, Elena was relaxed on the magic chaise lounge, but a sudden thought came, which made her anxious. "Nee, Ely."

"Mm? What"s up, Sister Elena? You sound worried." Elysia replied without delay.

"I wanted to ask you last night, but I forgot. Nee, do you believe in that Evil G.o.d, or do you want to make him an ally?" Elena twirled a lock of her hair while looking at the bright blue sky.

To be honest, she didn"t want her sweet little sister to get close to that Evil G.o.d for obvious reasons.

"I believe in the story he told last night, about a small part of his plan and a few other things. However, that"s all and nothing else. Ally is better than the enemy, after all. Well, Nell and we haven"t made any deals with him either." Elysia loosened her shoulders and leaned back.

She only listened to Evelyn and the others talk, but she focused on the conversation with Elena.

"Temporary ally, hmm? That"s fine, but please remember that the Evil G.o.d sacrificed more than one hundred and fifty thousand of his followers for the so-called absolute power. He"s even hated by his own race, so we also need to be on guard." Elena rested her cheek against her hand.

"En, I understand, Sister Elena. We don"t know about the Evil G.o.d that much either. In fact, we also need to watch out for Nell just in case. She almost tricked me at that time." Elysia understood Elena"s worries, but she also knew who to trust and not to.

"That"s my Ely. You asked for a way to contact the Evil G.o.d because for a discussion of cooperation, hmm... Clever girl. I will always be by your side and help you. Let"s see what awaits us in the future." Elena smiled approvingly, then they briefly chatted until they were about to go up the Gravy Ark.
