Chapter 298: Wild Assumptions
Chapter 298: Wild Assumptions
"Little one, it\'s time to wake up, or I\'ll do something to you." Elena whispered softly to the little Goddess on her hands.
"I\'m awake, just a little lazy. Are we going to Aeddoterra City using your practical magic?" Nell waved her hand and returned to being the sloth.
"Hum, that\'s good you\'re awake. I\'ll revoke my invisible magic now." Elena gave an approving nod and went to Gravy Ark.
Meanwhile, several people were waiting on the Gravy Ark because the Goddesses\' presence had yet to be seen.
"Miss Elysia, where is your master? We can\'t go without her, can we?" Ariel glanced left and right, but she could only find the knights on guard not far from them.
"You don\'t have to look for me because I\'m here. Now, make this Gravy Ark soar high into the sky." Elena sat gracefully beside Elysia right after she revoked her invisible magic.
"Affirmative." Ariel saluted then immediately carried out the command.
*Blink* *Poof*
After reaching a sufficient height, the Gravy Ark suddenly disappeared from the sight of the escort knights. It was as if the Gravy Ark had vanished into thin air, but they didn\'t panic or anything. Some of them experienced it first-hand last night, about the Goddess\'s divine magic, after all.
On the northern city wall, Hannah sighed with a hint of disappointment. She wanted to say hello and exchange words with the Goddesses, but she was assigned something else. She was somewhat jealous of her fellow elite knights who served with His Majesty last night.
"Well, there is still another chance this afternoon. Who would have thought that Elysia was the Goddess of Light\'s disciple? No wonder she is strong and talented for such a young girl." Hannah shook her head and spoke in a whisper-like voice, but she just realized what she said.
"Oops, I didn\'t say anything. You didn\'t hear anything, you understand? His majesty has warned us about Elysia\'s background as confidential information." Hannah immediately pointed her finger at her fellow elites with a slight threat.
"You\'re lucky there aren\'t unrelated people here, Hannah." A man in black armor similar to Hannah\'s rolled his eyes.
A bit further north, Elysia\'s group had just arrived above Aeddoterra City in the blink of an eye. Some of them felt a little dizzy and jumbled up, but it was awesome nonetheless... Especially for those who had never felt the sensation of traveling such a long distance in a super short time, what a great experience.
"Let\'s land and enter the city. All of you haven\'t had breakfast, correct?" Elena smiled faintly and reminded Ariel. The latter simply nodded and controlled the Gavy Ark to land.
Then, Elena lifted her hands slightly so that Nell was on her eye level. "And for you little one, you are too conspicuous with your current form. Can you handle it?"
Nell looked at her body and wings for a moment, then she shook her head helplessly. "This is my true form. For the time being, I\'ll make myself invisible or hide behind your summer hat."
It was her true form, and it couldn\'t change no matter what she did, even though she had had a lot of help in the past. The Goddess of Blessings, known to her followers, was her avatar, herself before she was stuck in the little human fairy form.
Because she had awakened from her deep slumber, she wanted her people to know her true form rather than her avatar. But, to avoid any tumult, she shouldn\'t expose her presence first.
The little Goddess immediately became invisible and hid behind Elena\'s summer hat.
"Sounds good. I\'ll take care of you." Elena smiled with a compassionate expression, although her intention in mind was somewhat twisted.
On the other hand, the simple conversation between the two Goddesses made quite a lot of realization for Maximilian, Ariel, Ella, and Evelyn. They just learned a few facts about their Goddess, and they would be told a lot more. Mainly about lost history and everything, but it was for this afternoon. Their excitement was incredible.
"Let\'s go to Lavely Pizza first for breakfast. Also, I need to catch up with everything, huff..." Elysia invited everyone, but she remembered the work that had piled up.
"That\'s us, Ely. Eve and I are your assistants. We\'re working together." Ella lectured her friend like a caring big sister.
"Un, let\'s go. Ah, it reminds me. Ayla must have finished with the task you gave her, Ely." Evelyn patted her chin, remembering something about their work.
"About collecting data for Lavely Pizza branches in other cities? Hum, I\'d be impressed if Ayla and her connections could finish the task in four days." Elysia didn\'t take it seriously because it would take quite a while to make such a report.
"Master, let\'s go to Lavely Pizza. It\'s the healthy, delicious food business the three of us built together... With the help of Ella\'s grandfather and Eve\'s parents." Elysia clapped her hands cheerfully.
Elena smiled gently and nodded. It was quite pleasant to hear Elysia refer to her as \'master\' for once in a while. She opened her umbrella and put on black glasses. Currently, she wasn\'t playing the Goddess of Light but an ordinary girl. While others in the group were only following the flow.
After they landed and Ariel stored the Gravy Ark in the Space Bag, they walked towards the city gate. The city was lively at that moment, and the guards could easily be found everywhere even though they had just entered the city. What could they do with it? It was all because many high-level authorities would come to this city.
"Um, yes, lots of carriages here, let\'s hop on one to take us to Lavely Pizza." Ella clapped her hands once with her suggestion.
"Mm, but we\'d better get into the carriage with the Holy Church symbol over there." Elysia gave a cue with her hand. It would be embarrassing if they asked permission to one of the carriages and were not allowed by the knights on guard around it.
Ella, Evelyn, and the others only agreed with that because all carriages were the same. It was reserved for special guests, and they were one of them.
Since they were eight, it was rather cramped to be in a small carriage. So the group was split into two to head to Lavely Pizza.
When the carriage was taking them to their destination, Nell felt the need to talk about important things to the Goddess of Light. It was too important that she wanted to say it right away, but she needed the right place for it.
\'Umm, Elena, oh-ah, grandgodmaster.\' Nell called out timidly through telepathy.
\'Hm?\' Elena responded curtly. She still engaged in a light conversation with the three jovial girls.
\'Umm, I would like to speak to you privately, something important. Can you spare a little of your time for me after breakfast?\' Nell had a nervous expression as she touched her fingers.
\'Oh, what a coincidence. I also have some important things. Hm, a little wrong, more of a private conversation between you and myself. All right, let\'s do that.\' Elena\'s eyes glowed a little. Nell suggested in advance for that, so she could just squeeze out some crucial information from this little Goddess at that moment.
\'Un, thank you.\' Nell became cheerful at once.
\'No worries, what if you get out of my hat and join our small talk? I realized that this girl named Gabriella Celestine really wants to talk to you.\' Elena suggested. She had no idea why this little Goddess was still in her hat.
\'The girl from the Celestine Family, hmm. Sigh...\' Nell sighed as she remembered some events in the past. Even so, she complied with Elena\'s proposal and got out of there.
Ella suddenly had a bright expression when she saw her Goddess floating out of the Goddess of Light\'s summer hat.
"Ah, the Goddess of Blessings, do you have a particular preference for breakfast? Allow this little girl to--" Ella started to deliver a series of words attentively at her Goddess.
As taught when she was little, she dedicated everything to the Goddess of Blessings. She was now in front of the divine existence in question! So, it was time for her to pour out her devotion.
Seeing the overwhelmed Nell, Elysia touched the overly enthusiastic girl. "Ella, you overwhelmed the Goddess of Blessings a little with your attention. What happened to you so suddenly?"
Ella was surprised to hear that. She came to a halt at once, realizing Elysia was right.
"Pl- Please forgive me. I am talking too much. I am too enthusiastic to see you in person and have the opportunity to speak to you, the Goddess of Blessings." Ella clasped her hands in front of her face, apologizing for her guilt.
"Hum, that\'s fine, Gabriella Celestine. This isn\'t the first time I\'ve met a girl from the Celestine Family." Nell waved her hand with a kind smile as she tried to reassure the passionate girl.
"You seem troubled, little one. What do you mean by that? You say it as if troublesome events have occurred in the past." Elena stretched out her hand, letting the little Goddess stand there.
"Umm, it\'s a little bit complicated, El- grandgodmaster, Ah, I mean, the Goddess of Light." Nell felt a bit panicked because she almost blurted out the Goddess of Light\'s name, but she disclosed something else.
Evelyn was surprised, and Ella was utterly dumbfounded. They were wondering about the relationship between these two goddesses. Why did the Goddess of Blessings call the Goddess of Light as grandmaster? Could it be...
These two girls started to make wild assumptions, and Elysia was just facepalmed as if she knew what they were thinking.
