Carolee leaned against the wooden window and looked at the scenery outside.
She was currently in a small wooden hut in a village on the border of Noland. Under Zenas's recommendation, the villagers had accepted the elven travelers' request for temporary accommodation and arranged a small wooden hut for Carolee to stay in.
"Aren't you going to rest? Daughter of the Forest. "
Priest Olanca's voice sounded from behind Caroline. The environment of this wooden hut was much more comfortable than sleeping in the forest when they were hurrying along the way.
Perhaps with the elves' sleeping skills, they could just sit on a thick branch and fall asleep, but Carolee could only use leaves to make a bed.
"I'm not too sleepy yet, Priest Olanca. You don't have to worry about me, I can go to sleep first. I feel more energetic at night."
Ever since Carolee started using the spellcaster forum, she had developed a bad habit of staying up late. In the past, her elven guard, Frey, was worried that Carolee's body would collapse because of this.
However, ever since the seed of the World Tree was lodged in Carolee's body, Carolee felt that her body had undergone some subtle changes. For example, when she refreshed the camp at night, she did not feel sleepy at all.
"This is not a place where my brethren can completely relax, so I have to keep an eye on the surroundings for them."
Priest Olanca looked out of the wooden window.
The villagers of this village were obviously preparing for some kind of celebration ceremony. Piles of wood were piled together and lit. The bonfire dispelled the darkness in the surroundings, and a dead elk was peeled off with a hunting knife before being placed on the bonfire.
This scene caused Priest Olanca to frown slightly. To the elves, such acts of harming natural creatures were extremely barbaric.
This was also why the Darkwood Elves found it difficult to get along with humans …
"No matter how many times I see it, I still find it terrifying," Priest Olanca said as he looked at the humans sitting around the bonfire.
"Terrifying? Are you referring to that Sinful Demon?"
Carolee pointed at the Sinful Demon Zenas who was helping to move the wood.
"Sinful Demon?" Olanca's gaze followed Carolee's finger and landed on the gigantic demon. "I remember that humans have always hated and feared demons."
"Disgusting … Indeed, according to the liars of the Country of Saint, demons are indeed terrifying creatures."
Carolee was now completely on the opposite side of the Kingdom of Saint, just like the Blackwood Elf Priest beside her. Because of the heresy court's actions, the entire Blackwood Duke's territory was destroyed, as well as her home.
Although Carolee wanted to reunite with her mother and find a way to take revenge on the church, the premise was that she had to survive the pursuit of the Court of Heresy. And Carolee believed that she could definitely strike the Kingdom of Saint in another way in Noland.
"But the humans accepted him," the Oranca priest said.
"Not only that, but the Sin Demon's name is Zenas. He's very popular in Noland."
Caroline once again revealed a piece of news that shocked the Elven Priestess.
Even an elf like her knew a thing or two about the prejudice humans had against demons.
It was already inconceivable for humans to accept a dangerous demon, let alone the 'popular' that Carolee mentioned.
But this was the truth …
"If I'm not mistaken, he was the dream lover of all the Nolan girls a month ago. I don't know if I should use the word 'lover' to describe such complicated feelings, but in short, most of the Nolan girls, and even the slightly older women, were proud to touch the meatball on his hand."
Carolee clasped her fingers together. At this moment, Zenas also noticed Carolee's presence and nodded slightly at Carolee.
On the other hand, the little girl beside Zenas made a face at Carolee when she saw Carolee and immediately followed Zenas.
Caroline recalled the scene of Zenas being besieged by the girls at the meet-and-greet. Their faces were filled with expressions that said, 'If only I could keep a cat like that!'.
If Josiah, the boss behind Zenas, introduced a service that said 'as long as you pay a certain amount of money, you can spend a beautiful night with the demon prince', there would definitely be many people willing to pay.
"Proud??"
The Oranca priest realized that her understanding of humans was a little lacking. In her opinion, humans were a race that hated demons.
Demons had to hide their race and identity in human cities, or they would be hunted down by the church if they were exposed.
But from Caroline's description, the Sinful Demon named Zenas's position in Nolan wasn't just enmity. Humans even liked this Sinful Demon to the extent of liking it!
Oranca could understand if it was a succubus, but the Sin Demons were the bravest warriors among the demons.
But sinful demons were the bravest warriors of the demon race. They should appear on the battlefield and make those humans who dared to invade the Demon World feel fear …
But in Noland, they were like a docile cat, just a little different in size.
"Daughter of the Forest, how did that Sin Demon … do it?"
The Oranca priest did not think that the people of Noland would accept such a dangerous Sin Demon from the start. Someone must have used some method to change the humans' perception of demons.
Could it be some kind of spell that could control the minds of humans?
"Oranca priest, what do you think of the killer Leon in 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'?" Carolee asked.
"A responsible … demon."
Priest Olanca thought for a long time before coming up with this evaluation. This elderly priest rarely interacted with humans outside of the Blackwood Forest, so he could not describe the demon killer with words as flowery as a film critic.
"Do you like this character? I might be able to take you to Mr. Leon for an autograph. "
Carolee's lips curled into a mischievous smile as she asked this question. Although the Oranca priest understood Carolee's intentions, he was unmoved.
"Unfortunately, Daughter of the Forest … I only worship the holy tree Narushi. I sympathize with the demon killer Leon, but I don't like him to the extent of admiring him." The Oranca priest paused for a moment before continuing, "If it's Ruvita … she might be willing to follow you to meet … Mr. Leon."
Ruvita was one of the nine Elven priests, and she was also the youngest and most emotional one. After watching 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold', she had the most intense reaction …
Although the Oranca priest did not ask her about it, it was obvious that the young elf girl already had a good impression of the character named Leon in the movie.
"This is the charm of the movie, Oranca priest. That demon once starred in a movie called 'Beauty and the Demon'. Although I hate to admit it, it is still a very good movie. You might like the characters in it." Carolee continued to promote the movie.
"Daughter of the Forest, to be honest, this kind of fairytale-like story can no longer move me and Elder Cephas, but Ruvita and the others will definitely like it."
The Oranca priest did not avoid the issue of her age. Like Cephas, she was old enough to date back to the time when the World Tree grew.
After experiencing so much, whether it was the bloody scene and touching love in "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" or the romantic scene and the final parting of life and death in "Beauty and the Demon", they were not enough to set off any waves in her heart.
"Is that so? Noland is releasing a new movie recently. Perhaps it will make you feel touched again, Oranca priest, "said Carolee.
"You are still alive, and that is the greatest thing for me."
The Oranca priest stretched out her hand to caress Carolee's forehead. After asking for Carolee's permission, she began to comb her shoulder-length hair for Carolee.
The events in the Blackwood Forest were too much for the young girl to bear.
Although Carolee had been trying to make herself strong recently, it was not easy to travel to a foreign country alone after losing her family and mother.
While Lady Sizer was away, the Oranca priest took on the role of Carolee's mother.
