Chapter 310 Mother's Guilt
Chapter 310 Mother's Guilt
Looking at the mysterious guest who suddenly broke in, Ivan subconsciously used his body to cover Lal who had fallen to the ground and fainted.
This innkeeper who claimed to be the priest of Lar but was not registered with the goddess who was not very smart was a dangerous person in Ivan's opinion.
Just when Ivan's face was full of vigilance, Iris took a step forward and patted Retana's shoulder familiarly.
"Long time no see, Lliira..."
After saying that, he glanced at Lal lying on the ground, then walked to Xiling and Lian, grabbed the back of the collar each, and threw them out of the room.
The tall elf, who was nearly two meters tall, clapped her hands, as if the person she had just thrown out was not her daughter.
Iris looked down at Ivan, who unconsciously shrank his neck.
"Do you want to be more self-aware or do you need me to do it?"
"Conscious, conscious..."
Ivan immediately gave in, lowered his head, walked out of the room dejectedly, and closed the door.
"Mother, what a fool! I've grown so tall now, but you still throw me like you did when I was a kid..."
The short half-elf stood aside with a pout, glanced at his sister who was at least two heads taller than him, and moved a little to the side.
"Xi Ling, who is your mother?"
"Yeah, why does that human woman look familiar to my mother?"
Little Lian also came over and craned her neck to look at her sister.
"Mother, mother is..."
"Xi Ling, it's none of your business!"
Iris's hurried voice came through the door, stopping Xiling from saying the second half of her sentence.
Inside the room, Iris rolled her eyes at the wall and sat on a chair by the window, smiling helplessly at Retana opposite her - the human woman who should be called Lila.
After a seemingly awkward silence, the human woman in a white dress who claimed to be a believer of celebration glanced at the incarnation of Lal on the ground whose consciousness connection had been completely severed, and then she spoke to Iris.
"It seems that everyone has a daughter who is not easy to take care of..."
"Isn't it? Huh? Daughter? This is your daughter?"
Iris pointed at the girl on the ground and her eyes suddenly widened.
"I told you, this is also a goddess of celebration—
That's not right? I don't remember you having a partner..."
As the words fell, the expression on Iris's face was full of longing for gossip.
If Alvin were here, he would definitely find the expression on Iris's face extremely familiar.
It seems that gossip is not only contagious, but can also be passed on to the next generation...
“Lady Iris, please don’t look at me like that.
You know, I've never had a partner...
When I escaped from the astral realm, in order to prevent the collapse of my kingdom of God, I poured all my divine power into my own incarnation, a baby incarnation..."
“Oh~~~~~~”
Iris's passion for gossip did not diminish after this explanation. She dragged out the syllable for a long time, and only stopped when Lila's expression began to look helpless.
"Well, we are old acquaintances, so don't make such a sad face right away."
Iris straightened her clothes, and the originally plain gray cloak slowly turned into a set of exquisite leather armor under her movements.
"Are you ready?
You don't have any divine abilities in your body right now.
If we enter the astral plane, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with the Githyanki wandering in the starry sky…”
Lila also adjusted her robe, revealing several daggers under her white dress.
“Lady Elise, although I have not experienced the same things as other women, from pregnancy to childbirth, and then raising a child to adulthood;
But the dozen years I spent watching Lal grow up in the church were probably the happiest times of my entire life.
Believe it or not, to me, Lal has always been my daughter.
If I still feel guilty towards anyone in my heart, it's probably Lal, who has endured endless loneliness on my behalf."
"Fine……"
Elise held out her hands, about to begin casting a complicated spell.
"Oh, by the way, if they are mortal creatures, I can bring a few with me...
Do you want to seek external help? "
"External aid... do you mean helpers? I have been living in seclusion in Huiyao City. I am afraid I don't know any powerful beings in the main material world."
"Aha! It's okay!
I have a few candidates... wait for me."
The tall elf interrupted his spell and shouted outside the room.
"That one called Ivan!
Call over that Rillifane, that old perverted frost giant, and the ice elemental...
By the way, come over here yourself later."
Ivan, who was outside the door, was stunned after hearing this.
This future mother-in-law hasn't even become a regular employee yet, but she's already giving me orders.
But after secretly glancing at Xiling, Alvin went out obediently to look for the old skeleton.
……
Nield was still immersed in the post-war silence.
Although there was indeed a grand dinner last night, for those who lost their comrades and loved ones, sadness after the celebration was inevitable.
The old skeleton was in the command center, fighting with Alduin and others for a control sphere.
“I saw that first, old man!
I will take this big one back with me as a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Frost Giants!"
“Stop it!
Didn’t you take back those giant swords that were transformed from Auril’s six-pointed emblem?
No one can compete with me this time!"
[You two... You two...
After all, this belongs to the Nield people. Is it appropriate for you to rob them so openly...?】
Hearing this, the old skeleton was the first to loosen his hand.
"Well, who said I was going to rob...
That little girl! Yes! It’s you! Come on…”
Vera, who was holding her forehead, pointed at her nose to confirm, then walked forward reluctantly.
"Strong, strong, strong..."
"Eh? Don't be nervous, we are not robbers!"
The old skeleton's original aggressiveness suddenly disappeared when he heard Vera's timid and slightly crying voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Rillifane..."
[This girl seems to have some problems speaking... Such a poor child...]
Vera didn't hear the complaints from Lionses on the soul channel, otherwise she would have to spend time explaining that she was not a stutterer.
She mustered up her courage, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.
This was the first time that the little girl faced a being that looked like some kind of powerful lich.
Although Vera learned the titles of these three people from Yani, she didn't know who was in front of her;
She only knew that these three beings, in the face of the giant half-dragon, relied on their powerful strength to save many Nield people and soldiers of Huiyao City.
"And His Highness Alduin and His Highness Onseth, this, this, this is Miss Lian's private property. I think if you want a souvenir, can you give me a smaller one?"
