Women spend the most time on these three things.
One: Makeup.
Two: Shopping.
Three: Washing up.
That was the truth of the world.
Even if they were a group of elves who were known for their purity, they would definitely spend a lot of time washing up and dressing up.
At least, Sean waited outside the Waterfall Lake for a whole hour, and in the end, not even a single person came out from inside, which made him almost yawn.
Well, Lilith had already fallen asleep on You Lin's back.
You Lin was the same. She had turned back into her dragon form at some point and was lying next to Shien, taking a nap quietly.
La Xia, Merica, and Genom were not here. Instead, they had entered the forest, saying that they were going to pick some leaves and twigs to weave some natural clothes for the elven girls.
Otherwise, the pure elven girls would have to run back to the home of the elves naked in the desolate forest.
To be honest, Shien did not mind.
What was there to mind?
After all, there was basically no one in the forest, and the elves in the home of the elves were all girls. Even if the elven girls ran back in their most natural forms, he would still raise his hands and feet in approval.
Unfortunately, firstly, Shien was afraid that he would be beaten up if he said that. Secondly, although there was no one else in the forest, there were magical creatures that could appear at any time.
It was fine if there were undead spirits, demons, and monsters. After all, they were not humans and did not have clear rationality. It was not a big deal to run into them.
However, magic lifeforms had clear consciousness, will, and rationality. They could be considered intelligent lifeforms for the time being. It would be too much to ask the innocent elven girls to be naked in front of them.
Given that, Shien had to wait for the elven girls to tidy themselves up before he could make any progress.
By the time everything was settled, Si Xia, Merica, and Genom entered the waterfall lake with the clothes they had made for the elven girls so that they could walk out of the lake, two and a half hours had already passed. It was almost three hours.
Under such circumstances, even Sean couldn't help but take a nap. He yawned one after another, and almost climbed onto You Lin's back like Lilith and fell asleep there.
It was not until the elven girls walked out of the forest one after another that Sean felt refreshed and almost sobered up.
It could not be helped.
"So … so shy …"
"These clothes can't cover much at all!"
"Shoulders … back … thighs … arms … they're basically all exposed!"
"Boohoo … I'm not used to having so much skin exposed …"
The young and beautiful elves blushed and squirmed as if they were not used to it.
They were wearing clothes woven from leaves and twigs that only protected the important parts, and looked like natural swimwear.
The green of the leaves and the brown of the twigs and the overly fair skin of the elven girls complemented and complemented each other, making them all look extremely beautiful and alluring.
It was especially so for some of the elven ladies with better figures. Their voluptuous figures seemed as though they would burst out of the thin leaves, branches, and vines at any time. Every move they made was wobbly and shaky, and Sean was about to drool at the sight of them.
"S … Sorry, everyone. We were in a hurry, and we couldn't do much."
Merica felt both embarrassed and guilty, and apologized to her compatriots.
"Hey! The hero over there! His eyeballs are going to fall out! Stop looking! "
Genom, on the other hand, glared at Sean with some malice.
"Looks like the measurements don't quite match."
La Xia spoke indifferently.
Shien had a feeling that if it was this awesome big sister, she would be able to make a perfect cover for these elven girls in a short time.
However, La Xia was clearly distracted. She kept hugging that package in her arms, and it seemed that part of her attention had been drawn away by it.
Caroline, who wasn't used to this and was a little bashful, her brows furrowed tightly as she looked at the bundle in Jianxia's arms.
"Thank goodness it's still here."
Seeing the package, Caroline's frown eased a little, and her mood seemed to improve quite a bit.
Only then did Shien withdraw his gaze from the elven girls and turn to look at Caroline.
"What is this?" Shien went straight to the point. "Judging from Genom's expression, he was chased down by the magical lifeforms in order to protect this. What did you do?"
Shien finally found the time and opportunity to ask this question.
Patricia, Melica, and Ulean, who was dozing off, all opened their eyes and looked at Carol.
Evidently, everyone was very concerned about this matter.
Caroline was a little hesitant about this.
She didn't know whether she should tell them the details of her mission or not.
Not many people in the elven army knew about this, even in the elven race.
When the queen and goddess had given her this mission, they seemed to have deliberately concealed the news. She didn't know if they were willing to reveal the reason and let everyone know.
Since that was the case, she should keep it a secret.
But …
"... Forget it."
Caroline thought for a moment, then sighed.
"If it's you, Her Majesty the Queen and Goddess Nadura wouldn't mind letting you know the reason."
Caroline decided to reveal it.
This was probably because of Caroline's trust in Shien.
After all, this man in front of her was a hero who had received the blessings of the high god.
It had to be said that ever since Shien revealed that the blessings he had received were bestowed by the high god, his status had risen significantly among both the Protoss and the humans.
In the eyes of the people, Shien's uniqueness had far surpassed that of the heroes of the past. He could almost be mentioned in the same breath as Mithra, the hero who had once fought against the Demon King.
This was especially true among the Protoss. Shien's status was comparable to the three goddesses, and to a certain extent, he had even surpassed them. He was trusted and admired by the orthodox goddesses.
The elves were born from nature and were known as the human race closest to the Protoss. They had always approved of Shien's attitude.
During the peace sacrifice, Shien had already received the elves' approval. Now, his status would only rise to a higher level. There was no possibility of him falling back down.
Moreover, Shien had saved them this time, so Caroline decided to tell the truth.
"That thing is actually something we brought out from the ruins."
Caroline said.
"Ruins?"
Shien, La Xia, You Lin, and even Merica were all stunned.
"Yes, ruins." Caroline nodded and said with certainty, "We only found out recently that there is an extremely ancient ruin in the depths of Tagore's Forest."
Next to her, Genom continued Caroline's words.
"According to Her Majesty the Queen and Goddess Nadura, the relic already existed before the appearance of this forest?"
This was what Jenom had told him.
Tagore's Forest was the largest and most ancient forest in the world.
When Shien first came to Tagore's Forest, La Xia and Merica had introduced this forest to him.
It was said that this forest was the first forest created by the Goddess of Nature, Nadura. Not only was it huge, but its origins could be traced back to when the Goddess of Nature had just been born.
That was at least tens of thousands of years ago.
One had to know that at the beginning of the world, excluding heroes from other worlds, there were only the Demon King and the Supreme God.
After that, in order to resist the Demon King and to nurture heroes, the Supreme God began to create Protoss.
The Goddess of Destiny, Lidas, was the first Protoss to be born, as well as the first life form to be born in this world. She was the first to come to this world.
She was followed by the Goddess of Life, Anima, and the Goddess of Nature, Nadura, who were born slightly later.
After that, the demons born from the Demon King's magic power appeared one after another.
In other words, the three goddesses were born earlier than the six demons.
When the Goddess of Nature, Nadura, was born and began to create nature and Tagore's Forest, the oldest of the six demons, Cela the Moon Demon, might not even have been born yet.
If this ruin was born before Tagore's Forest appeared, then it must have existed for a long time.
Of course, this was not the main point.
What was truly frightening was that before the Goddess of Nature, Nadura was born, there were only the Demon King, the Supreme God, and the Goddess of Destiny. Moreover, the Goddess of Destiny might have been very young at the time, and it was unlikely that she would have left any ruins on the ground.
So, what was the reason for the appearance of this ruin? Wasn't it frightening enough to think about it?
Shien and the others pondered over this and looked at each other.
At this moment, Caroline spoke again.
"The Goddess Nadura said that when she created Tagore's Forest, she once entered this ruin, but was forced to retreat by a power that could restrain the Protoss. She had no choice but to leave the place, sink it underground, and hide it."
"The Goddess Nadura only told this secret to the generations of elven royalty. So, among the elves, only the Elf Queen knows about this."
"In history, there was once a royal who entered this ruin out of curiosity. In the end, he found signs of people living in the ruin, as well as a few stone slabs that contained terrifying power."
"The Goddess and Her Majesty the Elf Queen speculated that the ruin was once the residence of the Demon King, and the stone slabs seemed to contain records of some super ancient book."
"After discovering this, the Goddess and Her Majesty the Elf Queen discussed it and decided to completely seal the place."
Caroline recounted.
In other words, it was only recently that Nadura and Sophie decided to reopen the ruin and bring out the super ancient book?
As for what the reason was, Shien had already figured it out.
"The Goddess Nadura said that she received a message from the Goddess Lidas and the Goddess Anima. She heard the two Goddesses mention that the newborn Primordial Demons were collecting ancient books and objects from all over the world under the instruction of Danas the Demon."
Caroline looked at Shien.
"Upon hearing this, the Goddess Nadura thought of the ruin and discussed it with the current Elf Queen. Finally, they decided to send people in to retrieve the stone slabs that the newborn Primordial Demons were collecting and bring them back to the home of the elves."
Hence, Caroline and Jenom had brought a portion of the elven legion's elites to the underground ruins in the depths of the Tagore Forest to retrieve the stone tablet.
Thanks to this, they were chased by the undead led by the magical lifeform.
"So this is …?"
La Xia looked at the package in her hands.
"Yes."
Caroline nodded.
"These are the stone slabs, the super ancient book."
