Chapter 2790: Emilia and the Forest Elf

"Miss Danister, don't rush to leave. In a while, I want to take Emilia to the forest elf to transfer the qualification of the umbilical cord to Emilia. Luvia is also going together. Are you going too?"

Xia De issued an invitation. The red-haired girl hesitated for a moment and looked at the direction of the city:

"That's fine, recently Flora often goes out, it's not easy for me to come out once, and I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"Can I go together?"

Angelina, who had a cat on her head, asked on the side. She was still weak in presence even though she had a cat on her head.

Danister looked at her styling suspiciously, so Xia De explained the relic matter. The knowledgeable library manager also knew the 【Contract of Trembling】, but was very curious about how the little princess of Delarion encountered such a dangerous thing. However, she quite approved of Angelina's willingness to challenge herself, and the small praise also made the little princess very happy.

Xia De also agreed to let Angelina go together. After all, if she was just stifled on the ship, it would be difficult for Angelina to make any changes within the five-day time limit.

Not seen for more than two months, the size of little Liana hadn't changed at all. Xia De realized that this little unicorn hadn't grown up at all since he first saw it in Randal Valley at the beginning of this year, and only then realized that the growth cycle of unicorns was also very long. It had only been half a year, and there couldn't be too big a change.

The clean little beast waited for everyone in the forest. It naturally still recognized Xia De. Seeing him come, it leaned over very happily, and then heard the equally familiar cat meow.

And Angelina found that the little unicorn seemed to not like her very much anymore. After meeting this time, it just wouldn't let her get close. When the group moved toward the depths of the dense forest, she told Emilia about this sadly, so the little elf blushed immediately, and scanned her friend up and down:

"Angelina, you wouldn't be... with Xia De..."

"Oh, what are you thinking? Of course I am still... a pure girl."

Although the little unicorn didn't know why it would rather be close to Luvia, who was "not pure," than Angelina, at least it looked very happy.

And Emilia was originally a little nervous because she was traveling with Miss Danister, but seeing that she looked like she was eighteen and had no deterrent power, she gradually relaxed, excitedly walking side by side with little Liana, and occasionally discussing the autumn scenery in the forest with Angelina who was walking behind them.

Soon the group entered the forest area that couldn't be walked out of. To prevent everyone from getting separated here, Xia De also urged everyone to get closer. And when they successfully arrived near the elf girl's tree house, Emilia screamed, and then walked forward quickly:

"Chocobo! And it's a Chocobo cub!"

The yellow little Chocobo was standing next to the bushes, with its butt and tail facing the group, burying its head and not knowing whether it was looking for pine nuts under the dead leaves or looking for insects to eat. Hearing the footsteps, it pulled out its head and looked back at Emilia, then continued to be busy with its own business without any vigilance.

And after Emilia approached, with a "swoosh," two adult Chocobo heads popped out from the grass, one with yellow feathers and one with blue feathers.

They looked at the approacher vigilantly, and after finding that it was the young elf girl, they each called out meaninglessly, and then shrank back into the grass.

Clearly, they recognized their feeder; even though she was three years younger, they still knew her.

"A little chocobo~ Xia De, when you said there were chocobos here, I didn't quite believe you."

Amelia said this very happily, but she didn't actually go to pet the little chocobo, instead standing to the side to observe it, and rejoined the group after Xia De, Miss Dannister, and Luweiya also walked over.

When the pure white little beast walked to the little chocobo's side, it did stretch out its head to nudge it, causing it to tumble and fall to the ground, before nudging it back up, only then happily following the group.

And Ajielina, who had been suspecting that her charm had greatly diminished recently, also approached the little chocobo afterward, only letting out a sigh of relief after discovering it did not dodge.

It was just that at this moment, the heads of one yellow and one blue adult chocobo emerged from the grass again, likely having heard the whimpering sound when their cub was nudged over just now. They didn't intend to attack Ajielina, just wanting to issue a "warning" to her not to continue approaching, but immediately the two chocobos saw the cat with the unfriendly expression on the human's head, and so they shrank back again.

The elf girl in the woods did not come out; she seemed to have known long ago that someone would come to visit this morning, and had even prepared tea early to entertain everyone.

After the group arrived under that large tree, the elf girl who had been waiting for them for a long time immediately jumped down:

"Good morning, Xia De, good morning, Luweiya, Miss Dannister."

She greeted the people she was "familiar" with, but did not greet the "stranger" Ajielina and Amelia. However, the little princess looked suspiciously at the tall elf, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt.

Then a flash of inspiration struck her; even though she hadn't yet obtained the so-called "world-shaking wisdom," Ajielina still recognized who this was. She looked at the elf's current figure in surprise and revealed an expression of having been betrayed.

As for the little elf beside the unicorn... Xia De and Luweiya were prepared for her to discover the truth, so they both used their peripheral vision to observe her reaction. But they didn't expect that Amelia wasn't looking at the other person with suspicion, but instead was looking at the other's face and figure with envy, appearing to have found a new object of admiration.

In other words, she did not realize who this was.

Thus, after a long period of confusion, Xia De finally knew who Amelia's disguise, which couldn't fool anyone, was meant to deceive—

Amelia was trying to fool Amelia.

And when Xia De discovered this point, he immediately had to hold back from revealing a smile, and it was clear that Luweiya and Miss Dannister also realized this.

Looking again at that slightly more mature girl in the woods, she also looked at Amelia at this time, but her expression seemed somewhat unhappy, and her tone was a bit fierce:

"Hello, elf of the Moon Creek Clan, you are the one who has taken on that great responsibility, right?"

"Hello, hello, it's me... may I ask what clan you are from, sister?"

Amelia was still asking there very cautiously, not even noticing the little unicorn on the side, which was looking at the two masters standing in front of it with a puzzled expression; it clearly recognized them too. So, in order not to let little Liana do something that would be noticed by Amelia, Xia De reached out and touched its head to let it relax a bit.

This made the expression of the cat on Ajielina's head even more unfriendly.

"My background... I have to keep it secret for now, but it's fine for you to call me sister."

The elf in the woods said somewhat absent-mindedly, not continuing to pay attention to Amelia:

"Let's not stand under the tree to talk; come on, let's go up and talk."

Saying this, she grabbed the vines hanging from the trunk behind her and, like flying, leaped up to the second floor in one bound.

Thus, the red-haired girl grabbed Luweiya's hand and flew up with her; Amelia and Ajielina climbed onto little Liana's back, letting the little unicorn carry them flying toward the second floor of the treehouse, while Xia De, of course, transformed into a red butterfly.

The elf girl had already prepared a round table, chairs, and teacups on the platform outside the treehouse, and Xia De noticed that the number of chairs and teacups was exactly right.

However, the elf girl had prepared green tea instead of black tea, and only after everyone sat down did she say:

"I am also clear about the purpose of your visit this time; you want to transfer the qualification to this immature elf girl, right?"

Amelia was not angry, but instead pursed her lips in embarrassment and said nothing.

Xia De nodded:

"The qualification represented by the umbilical cord, as well as Luweiya's qualification, both need to be transferred. Is this matter troublesome? Does it require a long time?"

The elf girl shook her head:

"It's not exactly troublesome; you told me about this matter a long time ago, and I have preparations on my side. But you are right, the transfer of qualifications is not as simple as making tea. Those two umbilical cords are easy to resolve, but transferring the qualification on Miss Luweiya Anate's body will take some time. Probably... today is Monday, and this matter can only be carried out on Wednesday night."

Waiting two days was not long, and Xia De could fully accept it; Luweiya also had no objections, but the elf girl added:

"Although the qualification symbolized by the umbilical cord can be transferred immediately, this will also cause the power contained within the umbilical cord to be completely absorbed by the young elf over there, and the umbilical cord will have no effect from then on. Can you accept this point?"

"This..."

Xia De looked at Miss Dannister again. Currently, the umbilical cord was the only way for her and Flora to briefly recover their strength. If the umbilical cord were gone, unless the curse was completely resolved, they would have no way to escape their current state.

"I have no problem; don't consider my affairs."

The red-haired girl shook her head indifferently, and only then did Xia De nod:

"No problem, then let's proceed with the transfer of the umbilical cord qualification now. Is it here?"

Amelia looked very worried, probably thinking the ritual required her to "eat the umbilical cord," but fortunately, the rituals of the elves were usually not that bloody:

"Although everyone has just sat down, please stand up and come with me now. No, there's no need to go far, just on the back of this tree."

The "back" the elf girl spoke of was the side not facing the sun; she had already dug out a small pool under the tree in advance.

When the group came over, the chocobos active nearby were surrounding the pool drinking water, and then they were all chased away by the elf girl.

The pool was right directly under the large tree where the treehouse was located, and it was a standard circle. Surrounding the edge of the pool, the elf girl used the 【Flute of Time】 to carve complex elf runes on the ground, and then filled the carvings with mercury that had the luster of emeralds.
