Chapter 562

Among the elves who had followed Caroline to stand in front of Shien was a young girl with a short staff in her hand.

This so-called childhood friend of Merica's was currently looking at Shien with a rather complicated expression. The sharpness from when they'd first met was nowhere to be seen.

She looked like a troublemaker who had become more or less obedient after realizing some cruel reality. She actually looked a little more taciturn.

Shien looked at this elven girl whose temperament had changed greatly and raised an eyebrow.

"So you're here too, Jerimu."

Sean tried to strike up a conversation with the other party with a little provocation.

And with just this one sentence, she was successfully ignited.

"I'm Jerimu!"

Jerimu glared at Shien.

"I know, Jerimu." Shien grinned. "Why are you here? Are you playing patrol games with the adults? "

"Of course not!" Jerimu said angrily. "This isn't a game!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shien didn't mind. "Just remember to come home in time for dinner. Don't get too engrossed in it, Jerimu."

"You …" Jerimu's blood immediately rushed to his head. The complicated and taciturn expression from before disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his impulsive self from the first time they'd met.

Caroline immediately pressed down on Jerimu's shoulder and glared at Shien together with him.

"Don't keep provoking Jerimu," Caroline said unhappily. Caroline said unhappily, "Using magic here is no laughing matter. Even if you're a guest, you should be more careful."

Hearing this, Shien shrugged.

He wasn't trying to provoke Jerimu on purpose. He just wanted to tease Merica's childhood friend when he saw her suddenly change in temperament.

Shien could more or less guess why this girl had suddenly become like this.

Thus, even if it was for the sake of his little wife, Shien had to help look after this childhood friend.

But reality proved that this girl was just as hot-tempered as before.

But this kind of behavior made Shien feel more at ease.

At least …

"I don't have to worry that you've been too agitated and will do something rash."

Shien's words only made Jerimu angry.

"You don't have to worry." Jerimu snorted coldly. "I won't be jealous just because Merica has suddenly become the Goddess of Nature's well-wisher."

This was something that could be confirmed.

Even though Jenom had been confused by this, even thinking for a moment that he had been left behind, he had never been jealous of Merica.

It was just that Merica, who once needed his protection, had suddenly walked ahead of him and become a talent that the entire elven race had to pay attention to. She was no longer a yes-man and ordinary elf. This contrast was still somewhat hard for Genom to accept.

But even so, he wouldn't do anything rash because he couldn't accept it.

"That Merica is different now. Since that's the case, I have to work hard so that I won't be left behind. I don't have the energy to let my imagination run wild."

For this reason, although Jerimu was still at a loss, he chose to take a step forward and do what he should and could do.

For example, improving himself and making himself stronger.

Caroline pressed down on Jenom's shoulder and mentioned it, intentionally or otherwise.

"Now, Jerimu has officially joined the Elven Division and is beginning to receive professional magic and combat training."

Caroline told Shien about this and also explained why Jerimu had appeared here with the Elven Division.

This elven girl was carrying out the Elven Division's mission. She was patrolling with Caroline and maintaining the peace of the elven homeland during the Peace Festival.

"Join the Elven Division?" Shien was a little puzzled. "Doesn't the Elven Division have to be at least Level 80 to join? She can't do it yet, right? "

Jerimu was only a little over Level 50, and was still far from Level 80.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to join the Elven Division at her current level.

Shien's straightforward declaration almost made Jerimu flip out again.

Who was he looking down on?

"I joined the Elven Division as a trainee!"

Jerimu was so angry that his face turned red.

"Trainee?"

Shien blinked.

"Someone who hasn't met the requirements to join the Elven Division, but has the potential to do so," Caroline said helplessly. Caroline said helplessly, "All elves above rank 50 have the right to apply to join the elven corps and receive formal training with the status of an intern."

The advantage of this was that before the other party officially joined, they could go through formal training with the official members and train them in the necessary combat qualities.

Moreover, they would definitely be able to increase their strength even faster after going through formal training. There were many trainees in the Elven Division who aimed to join the Elven Division.

Jerimu had only become one of them.

That was why she was able to carry out the patrol mission with the Elven Division.

"So that's how it is."

After understanding all this, Shien nodded and glanced at Jerimu.

Jerimu was still glaring at him, as if she couldn't hold back her anger. Shien couldn't help but laugh, but he also felt relieved.

It seemed that the girl really was fine.

But …

"Let me ask you." Jerimu took a few deep breaths, then asked absent-mindedly, "Is Merica really not coming back?"

Jerimu asked this question.

It was obvious that she still cared a lot about Merica.

No, it should be said that this elven girl's obsession with Merica seemed to have risen to a whole new level.

Shien thought for a moment, then chose to tell the truth.

"She really can't make it back in time."

Shien replied calmly.

Shien had already told the people who needed to know about Merica's matter.

Not only did the people around him know about this, but Sean had also sent a message to Sophie, telling her about it.

Sophie seemed to be a bit regretful about this, but she also expressed understanding.

"Although the clansmen definitely want to see Merica and the well-wishers of the Goddess of Nature, since it's not all bad, we can accept it."

After expressing this, Sophie spread the news, letting everyone in the Elven Homeland know about it.

Since that was the case, it wasn't strange at all that Jerimu would receive the news.

"Is that so?" Jerimu accepted this fact, but lowered his eyelids, his expression somewhat gloomy as he murmured, "I really want to ask her how she managed to do all this."

"Ahem …" Shien immediately coughed twice.

There was no other way.

He couldn't tell Jerimu that Merica was able to do all this because he had seen through her, could he?

That crazy girl would probably suffer a critical blow on the spot, and she would burn himself and the entire Elven Homeland to ashes, or freeze it into ice.

It was better to keep a low profile.

"It's not like she's not coming back." Shien changed the topic. "She just needs to take care of some troublesome issues. It won't be long before that girl comes back alive and kicking, right?"

These words couldn't comfort Jerimu at all.

Because …

"You won't be here when the time comes, will you?" Jerimu shot a glance at Shien, his interest waning. "Merica will definitely go find you directly, she won't return to the Elven Homeland first."

"Oh?" Shien wanted to ask. "How can you be so sure?"

"Of course I'm sure." Jerimu said self-deprecatingly, "Every elf who falls in love with a male of another race is like this. They only have eyes for that man, and they want nothing more than to stay by his side forever. Even if it's just watching him from the shadows, they'll be satisfied."

Merica will definitely go find Shien first.

Jerimu was certain of this.

"Uh …"

Shien didn't know what to say.

"…"

The group of elves, led by Caroline, responded in silence.

Rosie rubbed her cheeks. She quite agreed with Jerimu's words.

After all, if it were her, she would do the same.

If someone had told Rosie before that she would be head over heels in love with a man, only having eyes for him and wanting nothing more than to stay by his side forever, Rosie would definitely have snorted disdainfully.

But only when one truly fell in love would one understand that there were many things one couldn't control.

In Shien's words …

"If not for this, how do you think those melodramatic sadomasochism and heart-wrenching Korean dramas could be filmed for hundreds of episodes?"

Love blinded people. This wasn't just a casual saying.

Only bystanders and those who had nothing to do with them could look at a relationship with so-called reason and rationality.

As for insiders, even if they could see clearly, they would still choose to be like moths flying into a flame.

Although Rosie didn't know what these so-called Korean dramas were …

Just when everyone was speechless, Jerimu suddenly spoke.

"Let me be clear with you, I oppose you and Merica being together."

When he said this, Jerimu wasn't as impulsive and reckless as usual. Instead, he used a very calm tone.

"I believe you also know that a relationship between an elf and a male of a different race will only end in tragedy. It won't end well, so I oppose you two."

Jerimu turned around.

"In order to persuade Merica one day, I need to improve myself."

Jerimu set this goal for himself.

Then …

"Sooner or later, I will challenge you fair and square and defeat you. It won't be a farce like last time."

After saying this, Jerimu jogged away.

Caroline and the others watched all of this in silence, then left as well.

"That's what he said." Rosie came to Shien's side and said with a faint smile, "What do you plan to do?"

Shien rolled his eyes.

What to do?

Scrambled eggs salad!

And defeat him? Oppose me and Merica?

"If she dares to come, I dare to open her ass."

Shien snorted and left.

"Tch."

Rosie curled her lips and followed him obediently.

The peace sacrifice continued.
