Chapter 535

Outside the gate of the Shrine of the Goddess of Nature.

At this time, Sophie and the other two were still waiting here.

The three of them did not speak, nor did they do anything else. They just stood there quietly, waiting for Shien and Merica to come out of the shrine.

However, Sophie and the others had to wait for an entire hour.

The three of them did not feel impatient.

However, seeing that Shien and Merica had not come out of the shrine for so long, Sophie and the others still felt a little incredulous.

"So long …"

Reiya could not help but say.

"Yeah …"

Niya also agreed.

And hearing their words, Sophie more or less knew what they were thinking.

An hour's time was nothing to the long-lived elves.

However, when meeting the Goddess of Nature, who was one of the top figures in the Divine Realm, it was a little surprising that they could actually talk to her for an hour.

"Goddess Naduna must have a lot of things to say to those two, right?"

Sophie sighed.

To be able to talk to the top figure of the Divine Realm for so long was something that others looked up to.

If the other party did not really care about it, how could the high and mighty goddess talk to someone for so long?

Reiya and Niya were surprised because of this.

"Could it be that there is a very serious problem in the matter of Merica's magic power skyrocketing?"

Reiya made such a guess.

"Not necessarily." Niya, however, had a different opinion and said: "If she only wanted to talk about Merica, then Goddess Naduna wouldn't have called that man of a different race."

Niya felt that what Goddess Naduna wanted to talk to those two must not only be about Merica's problem.

"That's true." Reiya agreed, but still said, "It's just that, what exactly about that foreign male attracted Goddess Naduna's attention, so that the goddess did not hesitate to go down to the Lower Realm to see him?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Niya said angrily. "That foreign male has such a good relationship with the demonic dragon, and he has the evil goddess Lilith by his side. Even the demonic beasts and demons live under the same roof with him. Do you think Goddess Naduna would still not notice him?"

"Of course I know that the foreign male is special." Reiya sighed. "What I mean is, why would the great existences like the demonic dragon, demonic beasts, demons, and the evil goddess Lilith be attracted to that foreign male, and why would they like him?"

"This …" Niya was speechless.

She also wanted to know this question.

Not to mention those great existences, even the kingdom's most precious treasure and Adol's Black Dragon were attracted by that alien male and gathered around him.

Why would these people like a human male so much?

I'm sure many people want to figure this out, right?

But so, it was still a mystery.

That was why there were so many people who were curious about the man from another race.

"You all," Sophie said.

"Don't underestimate Count Potter Toot." Sophie shook her head and said, "He himself is a very powerful existence. You should be clear about this."

Indeed, both Reya and Nya had to admit that.

That was, Sean was indeed very strong.

As Legendary-level elven archmages, not only did they have the sensitivity to magic power unique to elves, but they also learned the skill [Magic Sense]. Therefore, when they first met Shien, they could already sense the terrifying magic power in his body.

As Legendary-level elven mages, not only did they have the sensitivity to mana that was unique to elves, but they also practiced the skill [Mana Perception]. Hence, they could sense the terrifying mana in Sean's body the first time they saw him.

As the only three Legendary-level archmages in the elven race, their magic power was also quite strong. Not to say that they were ranked among the top in the world, but in terms of the human race, their magic power could definitely squeeze into the top five.

As the only three Legendary-level mages in the elven race, the two of them had rather strong magical powers. Although they might not be ranked in the entire world, their magical powers could definitely be ranked in the top five of the human race.

Furthermore, Reiya and Niya were no longer surprised by the strength of a person's magic power after experiencing the magic power of Sophie, the elven royalty who possessed the strongest level of magic power all year round.

In the end, when they first met Shien and felt his terrifying magic power, they would have lost their composure if it wasn't for Sophie leading them.

In the end, when they first met Shien, they felt his terrifying magic power. If it wasn't for Sophie leading them, Reiya and Niya would have lost their composure long ago.

That alone was enough to show that Shien was extraordinary.

Not to mention, according to the rumors, Earl Borztut had done quite a number of shocking feats in the outside world, proving how strong he was.

Reiya and Niya did not know how powerful this man was, but they would definitely not underestimate Shien.

Otherwise, as Legendary powerhouses, the two of them wouldn't be willing to entertain Sean, a guest of a foreign race, willingly with Her Majesty the Queen.

However, there were simply too many big shots around Shien. All the famous and terrifying beings were gathered around him, causing many people to subconsciously neglect his own strength.

If Reiya and Niya did not have the skill [Mana Sense], they might have also subconsciously neglected Shien's own strength.

It could only be said that the reputation and presence of the people around the man were too strong, which more or less overshadowed his own light.

It was an interesting phenomenon.

"The important people only notice Count Porzstuart. Only those who aren't famous will look at him in a different light because of the people around him," said Roland.

Sophie pointed out the main point.

"What they didn't know was that in the end, those great existences actually revolved around Count Borztut, with him as the center."

That was the truly terrifying thing.

What did it mean?

It meant that there was indeed something about Shien that made those big shots treat him as an equal, or even a central figure.

"Now, the arrival of Goddess Naduna has also proved this point."

Sophie's voice sounded in Reiya and Niya's ears.

"Goddess Naduna is not here to see the Demonic Dragon, the Demonic Beast, or the Devil Demon. She is not here to see the Evil Goddess Lilith.

"The person the Goddess wants to see is this Count Ezztut."

Even the matter with Merica was probably dealt with in passing, right? "

Sophie's words made Reiya and Niya fall silent.

At this moment, there was only one question in their minds.

That was, how did this man from a foreign race do all this?

Also, what was that ever-present sense of closeness on his body?

Reiya and Niya began to feel curious.

Sophie felt the same, but after a moment, she suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

Because Sophie did not want to arouse her interest in Shien.

Once she became interested in a man from a foreign race, she might not be able to resist approaching him.

And if she got too close to him, was it possible that she would also be attracted to him?

After thinking about it for a while, Sophie did not dare to think about it anymore.

So, Sophie quickly killed the thought in her heart.

This was something Sophie was very good at.

In order to avoid getting too close to a man from a foreign race and having thoughts that she shouldn't have, Sophie had been like this for thousands of years, constantly controlling herself to keep a distance from a man from a foreign race.

If it weren't for this, Sophie would not have maintained her original heart for thousands of years, even in the face of the Brave Ones, she could not change her attitude.

(I am a royal family of the elves, the guide and leader of the elves.)

(I have so many people to take care of and protect. If I fall in love, lose my original heart, and become blind because of love, then I may abandon so many people.)

(I can't do that.)

Yes.

She couldn't do that.

Just because, she did not dare to bear the consequences, nor did she want to bear it.

(I'd better not think about the matter of the kingdom's count.)

Sophie warned herself.

No matter how much she thought about it, what could she do?

What could she do even if she found out the reason why the other party was so special?

At that time, would she get even the slightest bit of benefit?

No!

(We elves are originally isolated from the world, what does it matter what the other party is like, and what's so special about her?)

Sophie secretly warned herself like this, and quickly regained her composure.

At this moment, Reiya suddenly said something.

"Queen." Reiya seemed to have thought of something important, and after hesitating for a while, she said in a low voice, "Do you think it is possible for Merica to be blessed by Goddess Nadula?"

Sophie was woken up on the spot by his words.

"Blessing …"

Sophie muttered.

She knew what Reiya meant.

What Reiya was referring to was naturally the power that all elves dreamed of — [Goddess of Nature's Blessing].

"It's possible." Sophie's eyes lit up, and she said to herself, "Merica already has magic power comparable to that of a royal family, so Goddess Nadula is very likely to bless her and make her her blessing."

If that was the case, it would be a blessing for the elves.

It had been a long time since the elves had given birth to a child who could be blessed by the Goddess of Nature.

For the elves who regarded the Goddess of Nature as their highest belief, this was undoubtedly a matter of great concern.

If Merica could be chosen by Goddess Nadula and become her blessing, it would definitely be a joyous event worthy of the entire elven race's celebration.

However, Niya, who was at the side, said so.

"Will it work?" Niya subconsciously said, "Even the Queen was unable to receive Goddess Nadula's blessing back then, even if Merica has magic power comparable to that of a royal family, she may not necessarily be chosen by Goddess Nadula, right?"

As soon as this was said, Sophie's eyes immediately dimmed.

"Niya!"

Reiya scolded.

"I … I'm sorry! Your Majesty! "

Only then did Niya react, and she hurriedly knelt down.

There was no other way.

Not being able to receive the blessing of the Goddess of Nature was a lifelong pain for Sophie.

Originally, as a royal, Sophie had the opportunity to receive the blessing of the Goddess of Nature.

Unfortunately, at that time, the war between the Gods and the Demons was in a critical situation, and the Goddess of Nature was in charge of guiding the heroes that appeared at that time, causing the Goddess of Nature to miss Sophie's blessing ceremony, and could only send the next most trusted superior god to bless Sophie.

For Sophie, this was not a glorious thing, and could even be said to be very humiliating.

In the tens of thousands of years of elven history, including Sophie, only three royal families were born, and the first two royal families eventually received the favor of the Goddess of Nature and were blessed by the Goddess of Nature. Sophie was the only one who missed the opportunity to receive the blessing of the Goddess of Nature, which would undoubtedly be recorded in the history books.

Now that peace had arrived, Sophie could imagine that the royal family born in the future would not miss out on the blessing of the Goddess of Nature.

As a result, she became the only royal family in the history of elves who had not received the blessing of the Goddess of Nature.

One could imagine how painful and regretful this was for Sophie.

Of course, Nadia was also clear about this.

In fact, Nadula had wanted to bless Sophie countless times, and replace the blessing on Sophie with her own.

Normally, humans could only receive one blessing from the Goddess of Nature, and one chance to receive the blessing of the Protoss. Even if the Protoss themselves wanted to change it, they could not do so.

However, the Goddess of Destiny, Lidas, as the existence closest to omnipotence, could use her own power to erase the blessing on the human race.

As long as she asked the strongest goddess to help, then Nadula would be able to bless Sophie again, and make her her own blessing.

Back then, Nadula had thought that it would be enough to give Sophie another blessing, which was why she had sent her most capable superior god to temporarily bless Sophie when the war was in a critical situation, and she had to guide the heroes.

Who would have thought that an accident would cause all these plans to fail to materialize?

Sophie remembered what happened at that time, and a bitter smile and helplessness appeared on her face.

"Get up, Nya." Sophie helped Nya up and shook her head. "You're right. I didn't get Goddess Naduna's blessing. That's the truth." Nya nodded.

"But …!" Nya wanted to say something, and even Reiya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sophie.

"The truth is the truth, no matter what you say, it cannot be changed," Sophie said generously. "It has been thousands of years, and I have already gotten over it. You don't have to worry about me."

Hearing this, Reiya and Nya lowered their heads and did not say anything.

Sophie still had a smile on her face. As for what she was thinking, only she knew.

"Rumble …"

Suddenly, the door of the temple rumbled.

"They're out."

Sophie's spirit was lifted, and she woke up the two cronies who had their heads lowered. Together with them, they looked in the direction of the door of the temple.

The door slowly opened, and the figure who had entered the temple within an hour came out.

However, seeing that figure, Sophie and the others could not help but be stunned.

The reason was simple.

There was only one person who came out of the temple.
