Chapter 142: The Innocent Elf Girl

“Wow! Wow! Wow!” Alice widened her eyes in disbelief, circling the elf girl again and again. If the elf girl’s Mother Tree crystal hadn’t told her that the girl before her had no malicious intent, she would have seriously considered the possibility of attacking.

“Hello, hello!” Alice greeted the elf girl very friendly. “My name is Alice! Alice Hozerville, nice to meet you.”

Looking at Alice’s familiar outstretched hand, the elf girl looked at Alice questioningly.

*Am I that familiar with her?*

Alice gave the elf a bright and enthusiastic smile.

The elf girl, almost unconsciously, grasped Alice’s hand, introducing herself: “My name is Eina, Eina Modena.”

Shen Sui stumbled, almost knocking the instant noodles in his hand to the floor.

No!

Wait a minute!

I swear I remember that *Dawn Link* is an all-ages game, right?

Why the hell don’t I remember doing anything to Fremya?

Where did this elf girl with the surname Modena come from?

Shen Sui took two deep breaths, calmed down slightly, and after carefully considering the game’s setting for the elves, he had a rough guess.

“Modena?!?” Alice’s voice rose eight octaves.

Eina asked curiously, “Is there a problem?”

“Of course there’s a problem!” Alice gesticulated wildly, “Do you know whose surname Modena is?”

Eina blinked in confusion.

“The Dusk Bishop, Claude Modena!” Alice proudly gave a thumbs up, “He had an indescribable relationship with the Elf Queen Fremya!”

Slander!

You are slandering me~!

But this time, Shen Sui’s confidence was slightly lacking.

He had been so confident before because in his second playthrough he truly had no ulterior motives.

But now, judging from Qishala’s performance, Shen Sui strongly suspected that this real Dawn Continent might have integrated his first playthrough save file as well.

If it were the first playthrough, Shen Sui and Fremya would have a lot, lot to talk about.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Eina immediately denied, “My mother has absolutely no relationship with the Dusk Bishop!”

On this point, Eina was absolutely certain, because she had a very clear birth story.

To prove this, Eina told Alice about the elves’ unique way of inheritance.

Eina is a Holy Child Elf.

Seeing this, Shen Sui immediately confirmed it.

Holy Child Elves are a rather special group within the elf race. They are not offspring born through procreation, but elves created from the fruit of the Elf Holy Tree, one of the seven sacred artifacts of the Dawn Continent. In elf legend, elves originated from the Holy Tree, so those elves directly born from the Holy Tree are called Holy Child Elves.

As the Elf Queen, Fremya has the responsibility of nurturing Holy Child Elves, and this is also one of the sources of her throne’s legitimacy. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Eina, as a Holy Child Elf, is Fremya’s daughter.

In his first playthrough, Shen Sui had threatened Fremya with the Holy Tree to force her to compromise.

After all, he was a newbie back then, stepping on all sorts of pitfalls, and discovering gameplay no one had ever imagined.

Compared to ordinary elves, Holy Child Elves have a very smooth leveling curve. They never encounter any obstacles in their cultivation, even if they sleep all day, they will naturally become fourteenth-rank Elf Mages by the age of five hundred.

Eina is only four hundred years old, a girl who has just come of age in the elf race.

“Oh,” Alice immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

No, why are you relieved to hear that Eina isn’t Fremya’s biological daughter?

*Claude wasn’t cheated on!*

So that’s why you’re relieved?

Shen Sui felt rather comforted; at least Alice was genuinely concerned about his love life.

If only she wasn’t so fond of pairing people up.

Meeting any woman around her own age and assuming they are a couple is highly inaccurate.

Alice told Eina about the events that took place in the City of Sin.

Eina had never left the Elf Forest. In her worldview of the past four hundred years, the entire world consisted only of the forest and the Eternal Spring where her mother lived.

She marveled at the stories Alice told, and began to admire the girl who dared to face the gods for her friends.

If possible, she too hoped to have such a friend, someone who would stand up for her in her most desperate moments.

Anna sat beside Alice, listening to Alice’s story with a happy smile.

Eina’s liking for Alice greatly increased.

The elders in her clan always used scare tactics to educate Eina, afraid that she would, like her mother Fremya, be captivated by human men and eventually permanently sealed in the Eternal Spring.

*[Content removed]*

Therefore, Eina had an innate fear of human society. But when Alice appeared before her, when Alice used lively and enthusiastic language to tell an interesting story, the huge difference in upbringing and understanding pushed Eina to the other extreme: she trusted Alice too much.

Seeing this, Shen Sui was also relieved that the first human Eina met was Alice. Otherwise, with her naive nature, if she encountered a malicious person, she would definitely be deceived.

Alice used her barbecue technique on Eina.

They ate barbecue and talked even more.

Eina’s liking for Alice increased again.

“Sealed?” Alice finally talked to Eina about Fremya’s sealing.

Eina showed a melancholy expression. Her mother, Fremya, was sealed in the Eternal Spring over a thousand years ago by the Dusk Saintess.

Shen Sui knew this; he saw a record of it in Vivian’s diary.

Fremya tried to be crowned the new Goddess of Nature and was sealed by Vivian.

This was already Vivian showing mercy. According to her treatment of other former comrades-in-arms, killing them outright would have been considered kind.

*It must be a fight over a man!*

*Alice concluded in her heart.*

No! Don’t so hastily interpret the conflict between the two women as a fight over a man!

Shen Sui almost spat blood when he saw Alice’s inner thoughts.

“Don’t worry!” Alice patted her chest and said to Eina, “I will rescue your mother!”

Eina looked at Alice in surprise: “That’s the Dusk Saintess’s seal!”

She’s even the Dusk Saintess’s daughter. Look at all this Vivian equipment she’s wearing, it’s even better than a biological daughter’s, wouldn’t you say?

“So what!” Alice said firmly.

*For Claude’s happiness, Fremya must see the light of day again.*

Don’t do it for such strange reasons!

“You are my friend, Eina!”

Stars twinkled in Eina’s eyes.

*Ding! You obtained the Follower Card: Holy Child Elf Eina*

You’re too easy to deceive!

Working overtime every day, writing at full speed.

Two more chapters to go.
