"She's back?"
In the starry cave abode, Helena looked toward the northwest with a hint of surprise in her eyes. However, she also heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, and her brows furrowed again. After pondering for a while, she shook her head and murmured to herself, "Those pieces of trash …"
…
"Irina, it's good that you're alright." A smile appeared on the elven queen's face as she stood on the largest tree. She looked toward the northwest, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"Perhaps I should let her go and do something. Perhaps I really did make a mistake back then."
The elven queen stood on the tree for a long time before withdrawing her gaze. She slowly walked down the tree and disappeared into the tree hole.
…
"Irina is back!"
At the same time, some of the elves sensed the magic waves coming from outside the forest. Such powerful teleportation magic had already made some people guess who had returned.
Many of them knew what was going to happen outside The Wind Forest today, and some of them were even the masterminds.
However, Irina, who everyone thought would be trapped in Rodu forever, suddenly returned to The Wind Forest. This was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.
There were already elves gathering in the darkness.
…
Aside from horror, the elves who were holding longbows also had a hint of shame on their faces. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Irina directly.
"Please spare us, Princess. We were only following orders …"
The longbow in one of the elves' hands fell to the ground, and he immediately knelt to the ground.
"Please spare us, Princess …"
All of the elves knelt to the ground with fearful expressions.
Irina swept her gaze across those elves, and the vines binding the elves in the center retreated. Then, the vines wrapped around those elves and tied them to the trees.
Those elves who had regained their freedom sat on the ground, paralyzed. Regardless of whether it was Colby who had been killed on the spot or the elven warriors who had been tied up, everything was like a dream. They couldn't believe it.
"I am Irina." Irina took two steps forward, and a look of pity appeared on her face as she looked at the elves who were riddled with wounds. She raised her hand gently, and a beam of green light rose up from the Tree of Life in the distance. The beam of green light surged toward her and circled around her body before flowing into the crowd of elves like a stream of water.
Light green light brushed over the wounds of the elves, and the life force caused those wounds to quickly heal. Their bodies, which were almost skin and bones due to starvation and abuse, also recovered. Their pale faces regained some color, and their empty eyes seemed to have regained some luster due to the changes in their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, all of the elves had received excellent treatment, as if they had been given a new lease of life.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you!"
Elation appeared on the faces of the elves as they sensed the changes in their bodies. They bowed to Irina with tears of gratitude in their eyes.
The two little elves in Sally's arms blushed slightly as they stood up from Sally's arms. They each extended a little hand to help Sally up, and elated smiles appeared on their little faces as they said, "Big Sister, Her Highness is here to save us!"
"Yes, Her Highness saved us." Sally nodded as she looked at Irina with reverence in her eyes. "In the future, I'm going to become an elf like you and fight for all elves."
"Shh, can you put me down first?" Blour asked in a quiet voice. Even though he had also been treated, he was still hanging from the tree, and it was a little awkward for him.
Sally raised a finger, and a blade of ice sliced through the vines on Blour's body. Blour fell from the tree, and just barely managed to land on his knees before his head hit the ground. He then knelt down in front of Irina.
"There's no need to thank me. I only did what I had to do." Irina shook her head. She looked at Blour, then at Sally, and nodded as she said, "Go on. Go to Chaos City. That's the only safe place now. Someone will take you there, and no one will chase you down."
Blour stood up with an awkward expression, and he couldn't help but rub his own knees. He took a glance at Irina before turning around, and yelling, "Come with me, everyone; I'll take you to Chaos City."
The elves bowed to Irina with gratitude in their eyes again before following Blour south. Chaos City was an unfamiliar place to them, but it was indeed their last safe haven. At the very least, no mercenary squad would dare to openly capture elves there.
Sally looked at Irina, and her mouth gaped open, but she refrained from saying anything in the end. She took one final glance at Irina before quickly following the group.
Irina's promise meant that they would be able to safely take these elves back to Chaos City. If she said that no one would chase them down, then no one would dare to chase them down.
The group of several dozen elves traversed through the inky-black forest. Blour was leading the way with a torch in his hand, illuminating the dark path ahead.
All of the elves' eyes were filled with hope. It was as if they had finally found a path to sunlight in the boundless darkness.
Irina looked on as the torch disappeared into the depths of the forest. She then slowly turned to look in the direction of The Wind Forest, and stood there in silence.
The Wind Forest was also completely silent, as if no one knew what was going on outside.
…
That night, countless people on the Norland Continent were unable to sleep.
However, Meg slept very well. When he opened his eyes, the warm morning sun shone through the unlatched window onto his bed. It was as if the storm from the night before had been nothing more than a dream.
He turned to look at Amy, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and a smile appeared on Meg's face.
As long as he could see Amy's smile every day when he woke up, everything would be fine.
After Amy woke up naturally, Meg got up and helped her into a beautiful white dress.
"Father, where's Big Sister Irina? Has she already left? "Amy looked around with a hint of disappointment on her little face.
"Yes. She left after putting Amy to sleep last night. We'll see her again in the future." Meg smiled as he patted Amy's head.
"I thought she would stay the night here." Amy heaved a forlorn sigh. She looked up at Meg, and scolded him like a little adult, "Father, why didn't you seize the opportunity?"
Meg's expression darkened upon hearing this. What was going on in this little girl's head? Was she trying to help her parents?
"Alright, we have to go and participate in today's Decimal System Debate Competition. Teacher Luna is going to be very worried." Meg changed the subject as he held Amy's little hand and led her out the door.
"Father, when will we be able to see Big Sister Irina again?" Amy asked as she raised her head.
