Chapter 367 - A Present For The Forest Elves From The Husband's House!
Chapter 367 - A Present For The Forest Elves From The Husband's House!
After the husband's party new member became closer to the house's rules, the days passed in a flash. The time always flew faster when one had something to do, but the husband was naturally hard-working toward the future.
One of his problems was that he had to find a way to go back to the world pillar where his wife and other friends resided.
Xaya had given him time limit of ten years, then she would probably go mad herself and do some stupid stuff. Surprisingly, the husband had a hard time imagining her current self madness over her loneliness.
She would feel lonely, but would she be like in the past where she trembled and continuously muttered his name with some threats toward the world?
Of course, Kyoya believed that he could avoid such a future.
"The best way... is to ask the god himself." Kyoya uttered to himself, but knowing Akaro's tsundere side and how she liked to be with him, he knew that his words reached her.
That was the husband's first resort. He would go to the shrine with the god he was acquainted with, even if just a little, then request for help. Knowing gods, Kyoya would probably get a quest from them.
He was fine with it, "What do you think?" Since Akaro didn't say anything, the husband asked for her opinion. If he didn't, then she would keep her tsundere side for at least five years.
Half of the time limit, she would lend her hand later on!
"You can ask direct disciples instead." Wasn't there a direct disciple of the wind god that the husband had a nice talk with? It was an honest talk where both of them sat down like equals.
A lot of valuable information was exchanged back then, so Kyoya could reach this disciple and ask for help!
However, reaching the disciple sounded like a hard thing. First of all, he needed to confirm whether there was a shrine with their god in Agatha World Pillar, then make appropriate moves from this point onward.
"We will try. Maybe other direct disciples from our acquaintances can help too." Kyoya smiled, then took his cat for a walk. It was time for the husband to leave his house and go to the elven queen's palace.
It went without saying that the husband was a unique existence.
The elves had learned about it during The Forest Pond arc and even one of them had joined the husband's party. So far, it had been an interesting turn of events for Fusia, so many elves were curious about the husband.
Why? Because she spoke about their adventures and the husband's house atmosphere that in its calm days was just too relaxing.
The Elven Queen hadn't called him because of his house, however.
It was more about the first reason. The husband was a unique existence and maybe he could help them progress faster! Such a unique existence probably already reached some hybrids, so there was a little curiosity from the queen's side.
But each time Kyoya heard the 'queen' term, he would think of Yue and how things had changed since then. He actually wanted to bring Yue to his party... Who said that the flame sisters were a term for two in the husband's party?
Though the husband never imagined a two digit number, he felt like with Xiaoxiao, anyone could become the flame sister in his party. He himself also wasn't a 'hungry' individual, so two digits were impossible.
"It's been a while, Octavia," The husband smiled as his eyes landed on the elven queen's beautiful body. She smiled as well and greeted him with the same words... The cat on the husband's head made him look cuter and more innocent, but the fluffy ball also could draw some attention.
By looking into Akaro's eyes, the queen momentarily forgot about her surroundings... and became silent as if scared. Of course, what she was scared about was 'unknown'. The unknown existence was just that scary.
Many people feared what they knew nothing about.
Akaro's eyes brought such feelings to the elven queen's heart, but that was just the tsundere play.
Octavia's lips parted to defend herself, "Miss Hana's research about our wood has been a significant part of our strength in the last few weeks. We are indebted to her, but I believe her husband has reached even greater results in a few years... Now, I can see that my thoughts were right."
Hana and her blacksmith concepts were great assets to the forest elven's army.
While everyone could use the forest elves' wood to make training dummies, their training dummies were that of the highest quality. Hana had added much more meaning to these creations and equipped many elves with the wooden equipment.
Even wood's mortal enemy, the flames, wouldn't easily sear its name within those creations! The husband's name, his aura and his party became more important to the elves as they needed the allies the most right now.
Who wouldn't understand it? Their race had been nailed down in the small portion of forest ever since the chaos! It was hard to find allies in such circumstances, but Kyoya believed he would be a great help to them as well.
They were a great race that possessed the Forest Pond! Being friends with them wasn't something one wouldn't risk for given the chance.
The husband actually asked about the Forest Pond, but Octavia shook her head, "Sun Elves have taken it away from us."
"That's ridiculous..." Kyoya mumbled incredulously.
"I know, but one of the sun elf's high elders had reached a significant understanding of our forest concept... and it allowed him to snatch away the Forest Pond... We have become less important to the forest and our lives stay solely so that their moves don't anger our gods too much." The gods also wanted to see the forest elves' hybrid.
Kyoya was curious about their hybrid too, actually.
"We have a dilemma with this hybrid concept. While we know that it's the new future for every world pillar and believer, we can't bring ourselves to accept this reality." For the elves, it felt like a dream.
Dream was a bad word here, though. It was like a nightmare as most of their forest was long since in someone else's hands and even their people became forcefully 'married' to other elves just to keep the concept's origin close to them.
The treasures then were snatched and the nightmare continued!
Kyoya understood that, "My condolences. But eventually, all of you have to go for it... I think it's the safe route and gods would reward hefty those who succeeded."
"Yes. If push comes to shove, we will probably lean toward it... I was wondering... What kind of hybrid did you go for? If that's too rude of me, then forgive me," The queen asked.
Looking at her, Kyoya knew that she was trying to find the appropriate concept for her race. The one that would suit her race and bring no problems to learn! Of course, learning concepts after manifestations was also a possible route, but it was not perfect and the opposite concepts to their nature wasn't something Octavia liked!
Kyoya replied, "I have a unique hybrid. I can't share it with the queen, but that's because you wouldn't believe me." He smiled and added, "I have something that might help... your race. Would you like to go to my house?"
How bold! The husband just asked the queen to help her race, but his words would make other elves look at him with sharp eyes. Those sharp eyes would have dagger him to death if that was reality!
But since no elf was here, Octavia just agreed, "If you believe that it can help us, then I can only oblige." The queen smiled and raised her body.
She took a few steps forward, then extended her hand in an elegant manner worthy of her title. It raised the question within Kyoya's heart. How many people, especially men, had an opportunity to hold the elven queen's hand and even bring her home?
His heart swelled with pride and content, then he grasped Octavia's hands that seemed boneless.
Although the husband would like to keep things normal, he knew that their appearance would cause unwanted problems within the forest elves' hearts. Thus, he guided the queen through pathways that had no elf within.
In this way, they spent more time outside the castle, but could the husband even complain?
After they appeared in the husband's house, Kyoya took Octavia to one of the rooms. At first, it felt like what many would imagine and even Octavia felt like she got lured to the husband's house for some hot action.
Surprisingly, her heart just skipped a beat and beat faster, but no rejection bloomed in her heart! How weird, she thought!
Then, the husband opened the door and revealed the cold spring he got from the ice divine's inheritance.
"So this is it. Your race had Forest Pond and I think this might be similar to what forest elves used to have... It's a cold ice spring brought from the 60th floor. For the ice believers, it's holy water." The husband was confident in his words!
His old buddy, The Ice Divine, wouldn't leave something rubbish!
"It's... for my race?" Octavia asked after she probed into the ice spring with her experienced eyes! The vitality, even though it was 'cold', was outstanding, so this ice spring wasn't something you could just give as a present!
It was a real treasure!
Kyoya smiled, "At least half of it." His new party member, Yesfir, also benefited from this ice spring, so he couldn't give everything!
