Chapter 338: Dragon and Giant

From the very beginning, this inheritance was the most special of all.

The Heroic Soul itself is special; it is He, yet not merely He.

It holds no obsession, no wish, and is even unwilling to open its heart to Li En; the intelligence it leaked was limited to some past events of the Elves that Li En had discovered on his own.

It is a deity, yet not merely a deity; Li En cannot fathom it, and does not even know if it is truly a purely benevolent god (Li En feels it is mostly not).

In previous inheritances, the soul connection would bring the Heroic Soul and Li En closer and closer together.

The continuous linking of dreams and memories would form a soul resonance; none of this existed for the God of Drama and Joy.

It was very rational and carefully concealed everything, which naturally left Li En lacking trust and understanding toward it.

Li En also knew that there were likely some "secrets" at his current stage that he could not access; since Li Ensu was also a benevolent god who detested war, it should still be on his side.

"But, I truly cannot fathom it."

Li En was somewhat paranoid; since this benevolent god told Li En nothing, he could not open his heart to it.

"Since we cannot become friends, then let us become partners."

Previously, Li En and the Heroic Soul had an understanding: I will help you complete the inheritance as much as possible, allowing your power, wishes, and successors to grow upon the earth, and you can help me as much as possible.

But this time, Li En could not even understand Phisterion, so how could he help find a suitable successor for it?

He did not know the other party's ideals and goals, so naturally he could not discuss deep cooperation; thus, he could only discuss a transaction.

"Boom!"

And when the courtyard gate opened and the new generation of Heroic Soul successors entered, Li En was somewhat stunned.

In the eyes of all successors, the first one was the most striking: a giant who did not know how to cross the threshold into the courtyard, with a build of at least ten meters, immediately attracting everyone's gaze.

Even more absurdly, the figure draped in grass-cloth robes was she, not he; Li En actually sensed delicacy and beauty from this giant.

Unlike the impression of rude and irritable giants in most local legends, the green-haired giant, though draped in grass clothes, gave the impression of a druid or elf in the forest.

Vines and a faint floral scent adorned her; the hairpin on the tip of her hair seemed to be a blooming peach blossom tree, and she observed everything around with calm pupils.

She was also shrouded in black mist, but even without revealing her face or precise build, the other inheritors could see she was a giant.

"A Forest Giant? A rare species." Li En, however, saw more clearly.

Forest Giants are a rare species among giants; their special trait is that they are relatively friendly and do not actively attack outsiders entering their territory—a trait extremely rare for giants.

Li En would not mistake them, because their green hair and symbiotic posture with plants were too famous.

"Boom!" The giant glanced at the platform and silently sat down.

Li En breathed a sigh of relief, confirming this was a friendly giant, which relieved him; a giant of such build, even without any class buffs, could easily kick ordinary Great Warriors around like a ball.

If she really went mad here, only the Heroic Soul could stop her.

"Heh, isn't this Kaeluna? Even from so far away, I can smell your stench."

The voice from behind made the seated female giant frown.

She turned back and indeed saw that familiar shadow; although it was a human-shaped black shadow, there were floating black shadows on its head, as if something was hovering.

"Filthy lizard of Silvador, you actually dared to crawl out of your burrow."

The first two Heroic Soul successors to speak actually recognized each other at a glance, further verifying that this "shadow protection" was not very effective for the strong.

"A dragon and a giant... is this some kind of conspiracy?"

Another voice came from behind; that floating elf had long, flowing hair and was so handsome that one could not distinguish male or female, but upon speaking, the deep voice carried its own echo, seemingly male.

"Song Elves? Is this a rare gathering of species?"

This counts as a rare branch among High Elves, a rare group that often serves as priests in the Elven Kingdom, yet they could be seen here as well.

Li En's gaze, however, turned more toward the second speaker, the dragon whom the giant called "Silvador."
