Speaking of which, Shien did not expect Merica to have such a past.
But when he thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
If it wasn't for this reason, why would Merica leave the village and go out to train?
Shien already had some understanding of the situation of the elves, so he knew very well that there were very few people in the elven homeland who chose to go out to train.
There were three reasons.
One: The elves' wariness and rejection of the outside world.
It could be seen from the elves' wariness towards males of other races that they had a rather negative impression of the outside world. Coupled with the fact that the males of the outside world had always coveted and even persecuted the elves, the elves who had gone out would either warn the males of their greed towards the elves or fall deeply in love and be unable to extricate themselves. The elves naturally did not have a good impression of the outside world, which in turn affected their enthusiasm to leave their homeland.
Two: The conditions in the elven homeland were not necessarily worse than those in the outside world.
As the elves were a natural magic race, their research and development of magic was bound to far surpass that of the outside world. There were also many powerful elders in the clan, and the world's most powerful mages and mage groups were also here. As a result, the elves did not need to go out to study at all. They only needed to train in their homeland, and they could enjoy better conditions than any other forces in the outside world.
Three: The Tagore Forest, where the elven homeland was located, was itself the largest forest of monsters in the human world.
Not only were there many monsters in the Tagore Forest, but there were also many rare species that could not be found in the outside world. There were monsters of all levels, so the elves did not lack opponents to fight, nor did they lack an environment to level up. In fact, it was much better here than anywhere else. Even if there was danger, there were seniors of the same race looking after them, so they did not have to worry about anything happening.
With these three reasons, the elves did not need to go out to train at all, and could steadily improve their strength.
As such, why would they want to go out to train?
In fact, among the elves, there were probably less than 1% who chose to go out to train.
In other words, most of the elves in the elven homeland had never left. They were born here, grew up here, and gradually became stronger here. In the end, as long as they had a bit of talent, they would join an elven group and become a great mage above level 80.
With such good conditions, why would they go out to train?
Of course, there were still some elves who chose to go out to train, which proved that going out to train had its benefits.
What were the benefits?
It was very simple.
Fast!
His strength would increase faster than when he was in the village!
Indeed, in the elven homeland, every elf had the best conditions for growth and of of of of the elves.
However, since it was stable enough, it was unlikely that they would increase faster.
As everyone knew, although training was also possible in order to raise one's level, the most effective way was to fight against opponents whose strength was similar to or above one's.
The struggle between life and death was undoubtedly very dangerous, but it was also undoubtedly the fastest way for a person's growth.
Meanwhile, in the home of the elves, they had the protection of their elders, and they cultivated under such stable conditions. What sense of danger or chance to fight would there be?
Life in the elven homeland was simply too peaceful and stable. Although the elves were able to steadily improve themselves while cultivating in such an environment, they were unable to increase their cultivation speed.
Otherwise, with the talent and longevity of the elves, as long as they lived for a hundred years, they would at least be a top Legendary powerhouse, right?
But in the end, there were only three Legendary powerhouses in the entire elven race, and all three of them had lived for at least a thousand years.
A thousand years!
If it were not for the limitations of talent and potential, even a pig could become a Legendary powerhouse, right?
From this, it could be seen how slow the growth of the elves was.
This was not a bad thing.
The elves had long lives, and with the enchantment set by the Goddess of Nature protecting them, they could grow up safely and steadily.
The reason why the elven group was the strongest group of mages in the world was that everyone in it had trained for at least hundreds or even thousands of years.
As long as their potential wasn't exhausted and they didn't reach their limits, the Elf Race would eventually reach level 80 without a hitch.
This kind of talent was comparable to the dragon race, which was known as the King of Monsters.
After all, the dragon race was like this. They could naturally grow to level 80 and become powerful monsters once they reached adulthood.
Although not everyone in the elven race could reach this level, there were still some with relatively low potential who would eventually reach their limits and be unable to level up again. But from the fact that there were hundreds of elves in the elven group, it could be seen that the elves were still blessed by the heavens.
Only some elves could not be satisfied with such a slow growth, so they chose to leave the Elven homeland and seek pressure in the outside world in order to continuously break through.
After learning about this, Sean was puzzled for a while. With Merica's temperament, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to become stronger at all. Why would she leave the hometown of the elves to gain experience outside?
It was only at this moment that Shien realized that Merica had overcome her cowardice and made up her mind to leave the village because of the pressure brought by her childhood friend.
And this was not a wrong decision.
"When I first left the village and saw the outside world, I was very afraid."
"Many people stared at me because I was an elf, and many came to strike up a conversation. It really scared me."
"Fortunately, I had a senior who led the way for me and brought me to Lamigion."
"Not only did I have the help of my brethren who settled in Lamigion, but I also met Sister Vivienne, Tierre, and Lumia …"
At this point, Merica's tone became more cheerful.
"Everyone helped me so that I could gain a foothold in the outside world."
"At the same time, thanks to joining Vivienne's team, I was able to go on so many adventures and fight against so many monsters."
"Although I've been through quite a few dangers and some annoying things have happened, I've always felt that my decision to leave the village two years ago was definitely the right choice."
With that, Merica subconsciously looked at Shien.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have met everyone, and I wouldn't have met Mr. Shien …"
As she said this, Merica looked at Shien, and her eyes gradually became moist.
There was a strong sense of love in her eyes that shocked Shien.
"…"
Shien was silent.
He was at a loss.
He had no choice.
Was this … a confession …?
Shien suddenly felt itchy all over his body.
Without a doubt, this was the first time he had encountered such a straightforward and pure kindness.
It was not like with Rosie, where he unknowingly developed feelings and established a relationship with her. It was also not like with Tierre, where he got along with her ambiguously and finally established a relationship with her full of passion.
What Melica displayed was the most ordinary, ordinary, and yet the most painstakingly unforgettable love. It was so pure, so touching.
And this was undoubtedly something that Shien had never experienced before, and he was the least skilled at dealing with it.
I'm just a ronin!
The brave who had never passed by seriously roared in his heart.
To put it simply, such a serious love was really unbearable for someone like Shien, who was not a serious person.
At the same time, this also confirmed one of Shien's previous thoughts.
That was, Merica's feelings for him were stronger and purer than he had imagined.
If Shien knew the elves' values on love, he would understand that this feeling was much more sacred than he had imagined.
Of course, even if he did not know, Shien could not remain indifferent after sensing Merica's feelings.
He was just a playboy, not a scumbag who only thought about things with his lower body.
Therefore, after receiving Merica's kindness in the most direct way, he did not need to think about what to do next.
At this moment, Shien touched his nose and adjusted his mood.
Lilith and Mi Lu looked at each other in bewilderment.
La Xia's eyes flickered, but she did not say a word.
As for Rosie, when she saw Merica staring straight at Shien, she seemed to have forgotten her nervousness and shyness. Her heart was completely occupied by bursting emotions, as if she was bravely confessing. Her eyes were filled with deep love, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
At this moment, Rosie could not help but feel sour in her heart.
However, when she saw the deep love in Merica's eyes that could not be concealed, Rosie felt relieved again.
She had already said that as a princess of the royal family, she understood and could allow Shien to marry a concubine.
And if this person was Merica, Rosie felt that she could totally accept it.
Unlike Shien, Rosie had some understanding of the elves' views on love. She also knew what would happen once an elf fell in love with a person.
In addition, Rosie did not feel repulsed by Merica. Instead, she rather liked her. Along the way, she had already vaguely treated Merica as her future sister.
Now, under the control of her emotions, Merica finally expressed her good intentions to Shien, expressing her inner feelings.
Although this was caused by the situation, it was the same as acting on a whim, but the result might not be bad.
Otherwise, with Merica's shy and easily nervous personality, she would not have taken the initiative to confess to Shien.
On the other hand, Shien was completely waiting for someone to give it to him for free. He had no intention of taking the initiative to pursue her. If one hoped that he would pursue her romantically, they would have to wait until he was exhausted.
Therefore, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That was what Rosie thought.
Unfortunately, not everyone wanted to see this scene.
