We’re heading to the beautiful material world to enjoy life, so why bring along all this junk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to Cyber, the voice of Temple Leader Gando echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting, he and Cyber were responsible for organizing the things in the temple. Through their casual conversation, they gradually became more familiar with each other, vaguely forming a friendship across generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly reticent Old Elf could actually be quite talkative once he opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be in a good mood, humming an ancient tune and holding a water pouch in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weapons, food, clothing, tents for traveling, and some memorable artworks and books on inherited knowledge, that’s about it. The rest... there’s no need to bring them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gando spoke, he took a gulp from the water pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if tasting the best drink in the world, Gando showed an expression of enjoyment, his eyes narrowing to slits between the lumps on his skin, and he smiled at Cyber:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Cyber, the taste of this Elf Flower Tea you gave me is truly impressive. It’s the first time I’ve had such a delicious drink in my long life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drink,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber added with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yes, drink! So this is what the books describe as sweetness! It’s truly a taste that brings happiness! It beats the juice of the Abyss Worms by a mile! When I return to the main material world, I must indulge! Have a cup every day! No, two cups!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gando said longingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber laughed heartily, patting him on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gando, two cups? You’ll have as much as you want when the time comes! It’s a common drink in our Elf Forest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gando’s eyes lit up, and he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds wonderful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he smacked his lips, unable to resist taking another sip from the water pouch, then checked its weight with a slight frown:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I can’t drink any more, or I’ll finish it before we even set off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his cautious demeanor, Cyber waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I have plenty more! I stocked up on a lot of delicious things for this trip to the Abyss Plane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gando shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... no, it takes over two months just to reach Sorrow Cliff, and if we encounter a Black Tide, we’ll need to set up defenses, which might slow us down even more...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he patted Cyber on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Lord Cyber, you should keep it for yourself. Your frail physique can’t compare to us and endure the food of this world. I heard from Aister that last time you ate her family’s jerky, you had a stomach ache, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber could only smile wryly. He turned back to glower at the young Elf Girl Aister following behind him, who mischievously stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber pretended to reach out to rub the girl’s head, but she dodged like a leaping fawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She darted behind Gando, clutching the old elf’s hem, pouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Gando! Mr. Cyber is picking on me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gando laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, let me chat with Lord Cyber for a while. Aister, go play with your friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old elf said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Girl nodded obediently, then scampered off toward the slowly moving elf queue, soon joining some similarly-aged elves in playful frolics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all positioned in the very center of the procession, in the safest location, a zone designated for young elves with relatively minor afflictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the youngsters’ laughing silhouettes, Gando hiccuped, his gaze growing ever warmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we return to the Segis World, Aister and the others will be free, able to grow up happily and joyfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed with a touch of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Gando’s words, Cyber couldn’t help but feel a sense of wistfulness swell within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the long line and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything will get better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gando nodded in agreement, then fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he sighed softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Cyber.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must apologize to you. I didn’t recognize you when you first came to the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber looked at the old elf in surprise and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gando, you’re being too formal. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t be able to recognize myself either. After all, there’s no halo of faith around me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Cyber, Gando smiled faintly, then sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, my faith isn’t devout enough. But... now I think I understand why there is no halo of faith around you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",891,"2026-06-03T12:38:50.465Z","2026-06-03T12:38:59.385Z",1,"novelbin.me","4346be0637083dc05a6857ae23fdd9133ee3347811f47eabc99e348751cb645a","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-1032","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-1030",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
