Chapter 295 - 263: Quests and Gifts
Cancel out the Divine Attraction Light once?
Lynn hadn’t heard of this before, but it wasn’t hard to understand from its name.
After being rejected by him, the Goddess of Nature and Life actually took the initiative to help him delay his Ascension to Divinity. You can’t say, your god is quite generous...
However, looking into the beautiful eyes of the Elf Queen opposite him, Lynn did not easily trust her words.
The Elf Queen wouldn’t likely misrepresent the Divine Oracle, but the Goddess of Nature and Life might not be telling him the truth. She might have the Elf Queen convey a lie instead.
Perhaps when he is forced to ascend to divinity, taking out this pre-prepared Divine Oracle Leaf might not actually cancel out the Divine Attraction Light, but instead, it might drag him over to the Goddess of Nature and Life.
He doesn’t know what games the gods and the Demon God are playing right now, but it’s always good to be cautious.
"I’ll accept this leaf. Does Lady Goddess have any other instructions?"
Lynn carefully tucked the Divine Oracle Leaf away, then leaned on the table to stand up. Seeing this, the Elf Queen seemed to understand his intention was "if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now."
"Lady Goddess seems to value you greatly, so in addition to this gift, She has arranged other benefits for you. However, I’ll only give them to you at night. If you have other matters to attend to, you may handle them first. The Royal Palace will host a dinner banquet, and you are invited to attend."
At this point, the Elf Queen didn’t appear eager to keep him. It was only after Lynn nodded and turned to leave that she slowly walked over to the large floor mirror at the side of the room.
Gazing at her own fair-skinned, beautiful, and slender self in the reflection, the Elf Queen brushed over her meticulously flawless face with a peculiar expression.
She seemed reluctant, yet not entirely opposed, embodying a picture of internal conflict.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Elf Queen’s room, Lynn took his two wives to Xiya’s residence within the Elf Royal Palace.
Xiya is a Prince of the Elf Kingdom, but she doesn’t have a Prince’s Mansion. Generally, when she’s back at the Elf Royal City, she lives in the Royal Palace.
Her chamber is very close to the Elf Queen’s, with just a bamboo grove between them.
Originally, Lynn intended to depart with Xiya immediately, but since Xiya had just gained a significant advantage, she no longer needed to share his experience to level up.
Currently, there is a large level difference between his wives. Xiya, Catherine, and Vivian, the ones who needed the most support, are already on their feet. So now he’s considering whether to balance the levels of his wives on the Divine Protection Continent’s battlefield.
Otherwise, if they just share experience equally, some wives might become demigods while others are still striving for high-level Saint Tier.
Although among his group, levels don’t determine their worth, a large gap between the sisters might not be very harmonious.
With this in mind, Lynn decides to set Xiya’s Level 800 as a temporary cap and to bring the wives below this level up before advancing them all together.
Natasha and Helena are only a few dozen levels away and might catch up after a bit of effort. The focus should be on lifting up Vivian and Catherine...
Interestingly enough, one of these wives grew up under his watch, and the other taught him as he matured. Now, he can continue fostering Vivian’s growth while simultaneously raising his mentor Catherine, integrating nurturing with payback in an amusing cycle.
"Lynn, have you been informed of the Divine Oracle my sister received? Actually, I also have a task arranged by Lady Goddess. If it’s convenient, could we defer Natasha a bit tonight?"
As the person, dragon, and elf settled into their seats in the room, Xiya looked apologetically at Natasha before addressing Lynn, the head of the household.
She wasn’t planning to misuse her home advantage to take priority, but the task given by Lady Goddess was indeed significant. Besides, now she’s accepted the goddess’s favor, becoming both the Saintess and the Life Divine Envoy, even if she were just an ordinary believer, she’d still have to follow the deity’s instructions.
"Oh come on, it’s no trouble at all. I’ve already had something to eat on the way here, and technically speaking, it should have been your turn first anyway. My intrusion is more like cutting in line..."
Natasha quickly waved her hand before Lynn could respond. Although Lynn hadn’t ranked the women around him, Xiya’s significance is marginally higher than hers. She wasn’t about to rival Xiya, especially on her home turf, so simple etiquette dictated she yield this time.
"Tonight, Xiya and I will stay here. How about you camp outside the door..."
Seeing Natasha being so considerate, Lynn smiled and patted her on the shoulder, assigning her a challenging task.
"I’m not about to guard the door. That’s for cats and dogs to handle. You should have Sifrin do it. I’ll be spending my night in the Elf Kingdom’s treasury."
As a Giant Dragon, Natasha isn’t picky about accommodation, but she’s no masochist either. The thought of staying outside, catching a whiff of the delicious scents from inside, was unbearable compared to sleeping on a floor carpeted with gold coins in a cave.
