Chapter 956 Excuse And Misunderstanding
"Ely, this is my father. He looks neater and refined now, right? And this witch is Sophia, my father\'s pursuer. She is the fire chicken in heat, so please be careful." Sylvia introduced Elysia to her father even though it was not their first meeting.
"Witch? Fire chicken?" Sophia\'s lip twitched slightly. She was a noble fire crow, but this devil princess always called her chicken under various circumstances.
"Long time no see, Emperor Dylan. Pleased to meet you, Lady Sophia." Elysia gave a greeting out of courtesy. She felt that this \'red\' lady would be Sylvia\'s stepmother.
Hum, we meet again, Elysia. We have all been invited to a banquet at the palace, and I would like to discuss a few private matters with you. You will go in our carriage. Please inform your master of that. Dylan nodded in reply while glancing at the Goddess of Light.
"Ah? That\'s no problem. Ely, let\'s ask permission. We\'re all going to the palace, right?" Sylvia felt the arrangement was acceptable.
"Okay..." Elysia felt that this banquet was more complex than it looked. She just nodded in agreement and hurriedly asked Elena for permission.
"Go, you can go with Sylvia\'s father to the palace. I will follow you after updating the information with these Gods." Elena raised her palm, giving permission instantly.
"All right, we will wait for you at the palace." Elysia waved at her friends and then left with Sylvia.
"We need to go too, right?" Vanessa glanced at the other holy maidens.
"Yes, but we need other carriages." Evelyn felt Sylvia\'s father was up to something, but Yuuki worried about Elysia. So, it would be okay.
"We can use my carriage. The Holy Cathedral\'s carriage is so big, and can fit us all at once." Ella put her hands together.
"Then, it\'s decided. Let\'s go now." Lynn clapped her hands. They needed to leave immediately to catch up with Elysia.
"Un, I will ask for the carriage to be brought here. However, allow me to meet Ariel for a moment. I will take her with me." Ella grasped her hand, feeling a bit nervous.
"Have you decided on that? The burden and responsibility is one you need to bear." Nell flew around Ella.
"Yes, I will endure it. Ariel is my closest knight from my childhood. I can\'t let she continue to suffer. She is like this because of me." Ella clenched her fist. She had already made up her mind.
"Good, go for it then. She won\'t suffer if it goes the way you expect." Nell pointed her hand towards the Holy Cathedral.
"Un! Please wait for me. It won\'t take long." Ella raised her hand high, then ran off to the Holy Cathedral.
"I will go with you." Evelyn chased after Ella because she thought it would be better to go together.
"Hm, so we can invite other people to the group if we sponsor them and get approval." Lynn put her hand to her chin, then glanced at her mother. Yusagi was there, serving her mother with the utmost respect.
"It\'s not that easy. The final say is still with our master. Also, Miss Yusagi is still in the gray zone because she hasn\'t gone through the oath ceremony yet. It might be different from our ceremony because she came because of Lady Luna." Vanessa shook her head.
"Yes, but our master already knows Ella\'s intentions. Ariel will be accepted easily because she is no stranger to our master." Xentia gave a thumbs up.
"You are right. However, the other holy maidens also need to go through baptism. Are you prepared to give your everything for that?" Vanessa folded her arms, looking at the new holy maidens with a superior gaze. She was the senior sister of all people, so she had to ensure everything was for her master\'s benefit.
"En, I\'m ready to give my all to save the world with you. I may be a bit clumsy and silly, but please show me the direction." Morfina grasped her hand on her upper chest. She had already made up her mind about it.
"Good. You only need to follow our master\'s order and instructions. She is omniscient, but your worthiness will be tested tonight. Make sure to give our master your best impression." Vanessa tapped Morfina on the shoulder. This shy elf was decent.
"I don\'t have any ambitions or goals in life, but if the world is destroyed, then I won\'t have the peaceful life I yearn for. If our Goddess Master will provide a safe heaven for me, then that\'s a deal. I could risk my life to get it, but please revive me if I do die." Yaereene looked half sleepy, but she said it frankly.
"Our master can even provide the real heaven, but that depends on your performance. First of all, make sure you can earn our master\'s trust by giving her your loyalty." Vanessa smiled faintly. She had countless ideas to encourage the timid hermit fairy to become a helpful person.
"I am a wandering craftmaster. I can be of use to our Goddess Master. Saving the world is a noble clause that I am willing to risk everything to achieve. Please show me your guidance in the future, senior sister." Lyla clasped her fist to give a martial salute.
"O-oh, good. Let\'s go over there while waiting for Ella and Eve. I want to know a few things about you three." Vanessa answered with an approved smile. She then guided the maiden group to go to the bridge.
"Ugh, so we\'re going to the moon in five days at the most?" Regulus grumbled under his breath. After knowing this fact, he felt he didn\'t want to be recognized as the Beast God and disguised himself as the humanoid fire lion two hours ago.
"Why are you suddenly a scaredy cat? We are there to assess the combat power of our strongest enemy. We can\'t let them continue to do as they please." Oceanid raised his eyebrows.
"Well, but those two monsters were sealed inside the moon shrine. Although the seal and the altar has been broken, it hasn\'t collapsed. We will only find a fragment of their power." Regulus looked up at the sky, trying to find an excuse not to go to the moon.
"Nothing\'s changed. We\'re all going to the moon in five days. You better be prepared by then. Don\'t try to come up with some preposterous excuses." Xero rolled his eyes. He could guess what was going through Regulus\'s mind.
"If we go, who will handle the remaining sealed areas? The accursed in Vrelenia is still quite a lot, you know." Regulus rubbed his head, feeling unprepared.
"Our people are able to deal with them. With the anti-curse zones, they can safely deal with those cursed creatures. After all, this is just an investigation mission, not a deadly battle. They also need time to recover after their plans are ruined." Lifa waved her hand, feeling that everything would be fine.
"Well, if it\'s not a sudden deadly battle then it\'s fine. We\'re going to the palace now to feast." Regulus breathed a sigh of relief. He then raised his hand and walked away.
"You should go with him. You too. We will follow to the palace with the girls." Nell shooed Xero and Oceanid away. She needed to give some instructions to the priests and prepare some \'gifts\' for the banquet.
"..." Xero scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders without comment. He left the Holy Cathedral with relief because the holy magic there made him quite uncomfortable.
"Then, see later at the palace. It will be fun because the ladies and dancers will put on an interesting performance, hehe." Oceanid raised his hand in farewell. He then turned into liquid and disappeared into the river.
"Teleportation waypoints blueprints and satellites monitoring access... Then, long-distance telecommunications systems. Hmm, I\'ve copied all of them and are ready to be distributed to the rulers." Rhea gave a Space Bag to Nell.
"Thank you, big sis. I hope everyone can build mechanisms and infrastructures for the better world as we expects." Nell checked into the Space Bag and found dozens of gift packages containing several blueprints.
Meanwhile, Elysia and Sylvia had just boarded the carriage with the Devil Emperor Dylan. Alexander and several other Emperors offered Elysia to go with them, but she had already promised Sylvia\'s father. So, she sat nicely beside Sylvia before the strongest Devil Emperor.
"Father, you have some spare ultimate cannons, right? Can you give one to Ely as a meeting gift? She needs self-defence tools in case of emergency." Sylvia tugged at the hem of her father\'s sleeve. She didn\'t know why her father looked like Elysia, like an arch-enemy, but she was sure there was no malice.
"..." Dylan finished observing Elysia. This girl had already breakthrough straight to Saint-level, which was not surprising since he was sure this girl had only had a fake aura since the last time they met.
However, what his daughter asked for needed to be more varied. Elysia could defeat him, yet his daughter asked for their latest weapon to be presented to Elysia as a means of self-defence!? That was not candy!
"Well, it\'s not impossible to give it as a meeting gift, but I wonder what kind of relationship you have with Elysia, my daughter." Dylan held his forehead.
"Ely is my owner, I guess?" Sylvia put her finger to her lips. She also needed help understanding the ambiguous relationship she had with Elysia. The one thing for sure, Elysia was her Goddess Master.
"O-Owner!?" Dylan flinched slightly. He had no idea what kind of twisted relationship his daughter had with Elysia, but that didn\'t sound pleasant to hear.
"Sy-Sylvi!? Sylvi is my female friend, please don\'t misunderstand. You are mischivious, naughty devil. Your father will misunderstand and will eat me alive because of you." Elysia immediately covered Sylvia\'s mouth.
"Girlfriend, you say?" Dylan looked down slightly. Apparently, everything was just as he expected and feared.
