Chapter 515: Explain My Ass!

Carol knew that the cause was Shien.

Otherwise, why would the fairies be so close to him, and why would his magic power and aura be so close to nature?

As far as Carol knew, there was only one explanation for this phenomenon.

That was—the [Blessing of the Goddess of Nature].

Indeed.

Once one received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature, they would be protected by nature and become close to it.

Therefore, those with this blessing would have magic power and an aura very close to nature, attracting elves and fairies.

However, logically speaking, it was impossible for a human to receive the blessing of the Goddess of Nature.

The Goddess of Fate, the Goddess of Life, and the Goddess of Nature each had their own domains, responsible for guiding different races, and their blessings were usually only bestowed upon the races under their jurisdiction.

Therefore, only elves and dwarves could receive the blessing of the Goddess of Nature. Humans and beastmen couldn’t.

Unless…

(He’s the Hero.)

Only the Hero, summoned from another world, wouldn’t be bound by this rule.

Because Heroes summoned from another world were always human, and they could definitely receive blessings at the level of the Three Goddesses, only Heroes didn’t have to follow the rules and could potentially receive the blessing of any goddess.

In the past, there were also Heroes who received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature.

However, now that the Demon King had been defeated, the war was over, and the Hero Summoning Ritual had been sealed by Omniis, the Supreme God, in a remote place in the Divine Realm, never to be used again.

Therefore, Heroes would no longer appear in this world, and the blessing of the Goddess of Nature could only be bestowed upon elves or dwarves.

Thus, it was impossible for Shien to have received the [Blessing of the Goddess of Nature]. The nature-loving magic power and aura on him must have another cause.

Moreover, Carol had never heard of anyone shortening the reincarnation cycle of fairies with the [Blessing of the Goddess of Nature].

There had been those who received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature in the history of the Elven Race. If they had this ability, they wouldn’t have not used it.

Therefore, Carol immediately dismissed the idea that Shien possessed the [Blessing of the Goddess of Nature].

But if that was the case, then what was going on?

Why was this man from another race so special?

Could this be the reason why he attracted Airi, the Dragon Demon, and Lilith, the evil god?

Carol had thought about this more than once.

She believed that the Elven Queen must also be pondering this.

In a way, for the Elven Race, Shien’s special nature was even more significant than the Hero who visited them a thousand years ago.

Just with the affinity that attracted all elves and fairies, the Elven Race couldn’t ignore his existence.

For now, not many elves had seen this man, and their vigilance towards men from other races was enough to keep them away from him, even resisting this sense of closeness. 𝘳𝘈ɴо𝖇Ё𝙎

But Carol felt that if this continued, the situation would definitely change.

At least, now, the fairies’ attitudes had already changed.

Then, would the elves’ attitudes be far behind?

Carol had always been wary of this.

Because she felt that this wasn’t a good thing for the Elven Race.

She had reported this to the Elven Queen yesterday, but the Queen clearly didn’t want to strain their relationship with this man from another race.

This person had powerful backing, with the Dragon Demon’s support and Lilith, the evil god, by his side. Now, he seemed to be connected to the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon as well. The Elven Race definitely couldn’t afford to offend him too much.

Even Nadue, the Goddess of Nature, had sent her will yesterday, proving that she was paying attention to the situation in the Elven Homeland.

This made Carol understand that this man’s special nature had attracted the attention of many.

Under such circumstances, even if she wanted to do something, it would be difficult.

Considering this, Carol decided not to pursue the matter of Shien shortening the fairies’ reincarnation cycles.

This wasn’t something she should be concerned about.

To avoid causing more trouble, it was best for her to do nothing.

Carol was cautious and rigid in her thinking.

All of this was for the Elven Race.

Of course, Carol would report this to the Elven Queen.

Only someone of the Queen’s level had the authority to handle this matter.

Thinking of this, Carol suppressed her thoughts and said to Shien, who looked unhappy,

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Carol changed the subject. “I came to ask if you have any plans for today?”

“Today’s plans?” Shien’s attention was diverted. He scratched his cheek and said, “The Peace Festival is still a few days away, and I have nothing to do today, so we’ll probably stroll around the Elven Homeland.”

Shien hadn’t forgotten that the purpose of this trip was sightseeing.

Since it was for sightseeing, they naturally had to explore this Elven Homeland that everyone wanted to enter.

In other words…

“I’ll be going out today.” Shien looked at Carol. “You’re not here to stop me, are you?”

Shien knew that Carol didn’t want him wandering around the Elven Homeland, startling the people here.

But he didn’t want to be restricted, coming to attend the festival only to be isolated by a group of people who discriminated against men.

If Carol’s purpose today was to stop him, then Shien felt that he had to cause some trouble to live up to his title of “Troublemaker.”

Fortunately, Carol didn’t have such intentions.

“Although it’s not what I want, you are our guests. Since we’ve decided to welcome you, we can’t be impolite.”

Carol said calmly.

“I’ll have someone inform everyone in the Elven Homeland and have them prepare themselves.”

If she didn’t do this, Shien going out would definitely cause a commotion.

“You’re going to find Melika, right?” Carol said, “Just have Melika show you around the Elven Homeland.”

Since it was Melika who invited Shien and the others, it was naturally her responsibility.

“I only have one thing to say.” Carol looked directly at Shien and said each word clearly, “Please don’t do anything suspicious.”

Carol had already said this many times.

Shien really wanted to ask, what exactly were these so-called suspicious things?

Peeking at the elven girls changing clothes? Or peeking at them bathing?

Was he that kind of person?

…Anyway, there were still a few days left, there was no rush.

“I’ll definitely be on my best behavior today.”

Shien promised solemnly.

Yes, he would definitely be on his best behavior today.

As for tomorrow…

He’d think about it tomorrow!

“That’s good.” Carol, still unaware that she had been tricked, nodded and said, “After you’ve seen the Elven Homeland, you can go to the Queen’s Palace. The Queen has given instructions that if it’s you, you can visit her at any time. She also seems to have something to discuss with you.”

“Something to discuss?” Shien raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”

“I don’t know.” Carol replied directly. “Perhaps it’s something related to you.”

After all, Shien and his group were quite special and important. Even the Elven Queen had to treat them with caution.

Moreover, quite a few things had happened yesterday, and the Elven Queen might want to ask about them.

For example, the arrival of the Beast Demon and the Ghost Demon.

For example, what the Beast Demon talked about when she went to see the Elven Queen yesterday.

And for example, the commotion in the Elven Homeland last night, which even alerted the Goddess of Nature.

The truth behind these matters was still a mystery.

Carol believed that the Elven Queen wanted to understand these things.

Therefore, she relayed all the information.

“I still have patrol duty, so I’ll take my leave.”

Finally, Carol said,

“Remember, don’t do anything suspicious.”

Saying so, Carol glanced at the fairies still fluttering around Shien, then turned and left.

Shien watched Carol leave, and after her figure completely disappeared, he curled his lip.

“What a boring woman.”

After this comment, Shien started playing with the fairies again.

…

Not long after, in the tree house, the girls woke up one after another, left their rooms, and came to the living room.

And without exception, they all saw the scene of Shien playing with the fairies and were stunned.

“What did you do?”

Lucy ran to Shien, surprised, and asked.

“Since when could you play with fairies?”

Airi, still sleepy-eyed, looked displeased, as if still upset about yesterday’s events, her attitude towards Shien unfriendly.

“Hee hee!”

“Fun!”

Lilith and Millu, however, seemed to have completely forgotten about what happened yesterday, like two innocent children, having become friends, holding hands, chasing after the scattering fairies, and giggling happily.

“These children seem to have been attracted by Mr. Shien.”

Lasha said calmly while preparing breakfast.

Lid, lying on the table, looked at Shien meaningfully.

“Aren’t you going to explain?” Lid said nonchalantly, “This time, don’t try to fool us like yesterday.”

It seemed that after a night of conversation, this Beast Demon finally realized that she had been tricked by Shien in her concern.

Shien only rolled his eyes.

Explain?

Explain my ass!

He was naturally charming and loved by all. Even fairies liked him, was there a problem with that?

Immediately assuming that he had done something, how little did they think of his charisma and character?

Damn it!
