Chapter 2875

Seeing this scene, Iluna was so surprised that she even forgot to breathe for a second. But soon she continued to move forward, so everyone faced a severe challenge: how to choose their position to achieve—

Don't be too far from the blackboard, so that Xia De won't be nervous;

Don't be too far from the god, to prevent showing disrespect;

Don't be too close to the god, to prevent the fragile self from bearing the huge mental pressure;

Don't be too far from the companions who don't know where they will choose, to prevent their purpose from appearing too abrupt.

And while the girls were thinking about where they should sit to be most appropriate, Xia De was still thinking about what to tell. He glanced at Emilia. He actually knew a lot about elf stories, but what he had to consider was whether God had other purposes for letting him give a lecture... for example, letting Miss Metz realize what she was.

"If you don't know what to tell, I want to give you a hint."

The god in the black robe said, so Xia De made a gesture of asking for advice, and the god asked:

"What beautiful qualities do you think you possess?"

"Caution, self-discipline."

Xia De answered, and God smiled and nodded:

"Then what beautiful qualities do you think you lack?"

"This..."

Answering one's own shortcomings is still a bit difficult. The outsider carefully thought about all the things he had experienced since coming to this world. He can help the weak, fight against evil, can maintain a simple life even if he has money, and will not become arrogant or even bully the weak because he becomes strong.

But if there is anything he thinks he did wrong, it is probably his relationship with the girls. Although everyone said they didn't mind, Xia De still thought he owed them.

"Exclusivity?"

Touching Little Mia in his pocket, Xia De tentatively said. This time God hadn't spoken yet, but Iluna, who had just chosen a position and sat down, jumped up immediately:

"This is a neutral word, this doesn't count as a beautiful quality!"

If Xia De really promised the god that he would be exclusive, then the eighteen-year-old balanced Chosen One would be the first to disagree, because obviously the object Xia De chose was definitely that purple-eyed fortune teller.

And the Dragon maid shrinking her head also simply saw the current status of Xia De's emotional life from Iluna's words.

"Then pick another one."

God suggested, so Xia De continued to think. He really thought that the things he didn't do well were all related to the girls, so he still had to choose from this matter.

So the answer came out. Xia De indeed had ideas about the choice of the story. Dorothy and Leixia had been giving lectures for two months. Now that he understood what the center of the story was, he also made a thorough decision.

Raising his hand to let the World Tree bark float to the side, the ability of 【Mental Writing】 allowed him to leave the content of the story on the bark with spiritual power. He looked at the people in front of him, and everyone looked at him:

"I will share a story about elves with everyone, a story about greed and temperance, a story about eternal crystals. So, are you ready?"

Seeing that the five girls all nodded, the first letter was engraved on that precious World Tree bark.

(Little Mia is running...)

The Gray Wolf walked freely in the forest, liberating her nature in the posture of a pure werewolf. This is actually what she likes most, but because of the eyes of people, Hibel Bister rarely does this.

Shouldering a backpack, only the front is in her eyes. This seems to be a forest she doesn't know, but it doesn't matter at all, because the night will eventually fall, and the moon will still appear. Her journey only has the front and the moon forever, and where to go is instead an unimportant thing.

Suddenly heard a cry for help from not far ahead, so the kind werewolf first turned back to human form, confirmed that the tail was hidden, and then approached quickly. She soon saved the businesswoman who was chased by a giant bear, and the beautiful businesswoman wanted to give her a gift beside the bear's corpse.

"No, I didn't save you for a gift. You were chased by that bear, and the goods should have been lost a lot, right? Leave here now. I heard that there is a kind elf tribe nearby, and they can send you out of the forest."

The Gray Wolf girl kindly reminded, but the businesswoman still wanted to give her a gift:

"This is what you deserve. It can help you see the moon better and appreciate the beauty of the moon better."

The businessman took out a small pair of glasses made of crystal. Under the dim forest sky, it looked so beautiful and unusual. But the Gray Wolf just froze for a moment, then threw the glasses to the ground with some anger:

"I saved you, why did you insult me instead? I want to pursue the moon just because it is there. What is the difference between using external objects to see the moon and watching oil paintings to appreciate the moon?"

The arrogant werewolf raised her head:

"My road has no end. The meaning of travel is just to move forward. What is the point of taking a shortcut? I will always move forward and always look at the moon. Until one day my soul falls into death, that silver dark moon will still welcome me in front, and I will walk towards it with my head held high."

After saying this, she walked away angrily. The businesswoman didn't get angry either, standing in place looking at her back:

"Looks like the obsession is very deep, but in fact there is nothing in her eyes. What an excellent girl. She has never picked up anything, so she doesn't need to put it down."

(Little Mia is sunbathing...)

Emilia felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, but the feeling of running freely in the forest was really good.

She had forgotten how long she hadn't run and hunted in the forest like this. Although the feeling of hunting small deer with a bow and arrow made her feel very uncomfortable, the wild elves in the forest should be like this. She is not a modern civilized elf now.

Running on the trees in the forest like flying, suddenly heard a cry for help from not far away. And when Emilia arrived, she found that a panicked beautiful woman was being chased and killed by a wild bear.

So the elf bent her bow and shot an arrow, shooting through the neck of that bear.

The giant bear fell down with a bang, and the woman who fell because of fear was helped up by Emilia, and then claimed to thank Emilia:

"I am a businessman from outside the forest. You helped me, and I want to give you a reward."

She wore a cloak, inside the cloak was a brown cloth skirt with a simple style, and she carried a messenger bag on her back. The woman who claimed to be a businessman then took out a crystal medicine bottle with seven-color luster from the messenger bag:

"This is for you."

"May I ask what this is?"

Emilia didn't refuse. She thought that she should get a reward if she saved someone, so that others would be more willing to save people in the future.

"This is a potion that can make you stronger and more beautiful."

The beautiful businesswoman said with a smile:

"In this way, the person you like can take a few more looks at you."

So Emilia, who left with the potion, used the potion after returning to the tribe of her clansmen. She really became stronger, and also became taller and more mature.

The happy elf went to find the businessman the next day to express her gratitude, and the businesswoman who didn't know why she didn't leave the forest said temptingly:

"I have more and more of this kind of potion. If you want it, are you willing to take out something to exchange with me?"

Emilia of course wanted it. Being stronger and more beautiful can give her a chance to compete with those beautiful great witches:

"Can I exchange for more?"

"Greedy" elf then asked.

"Of course you can, but you have to pay more."

The beautiful businesswoman said with a smile, Emilia nodded immediately:

"No problem. I want to bring a copy for my friends Angelina and Iluna, they will also like it very much."

The businesswoman was a bit surprised, she shook her head and said:

"This won't do, this is only for you to use. You use it alone and become stronger and more beautiful than your friends. Isn't this good?"

Emilia pursed her lips, and finally shook her head apologetically:

"Then we won't trade. We are friends, I can't run away alone."

After saying this, she walked away without looking back, leaving only the businessman looking at her back:

"Obviously wanted more, but walked away because of friendship. She didn't learn temperance, but was bound by other chains. Although she picked up things, she could also easily put them down. This is also fine."

(Little Mia is eating...)

The Green Dragon maid who was humming a song and picking mushrooms and collecting herbs in the forest, the wings behind her were flapping, and even her feet didn't need to touch the ground.

She met the businesswoman chased by the giant bear, so she burned the bear with a flame and thought about whether she could drag the bear's corpse back to make a different big meal for the teachers who were guests in the elf tribe.

The businesswoman wanted to reward her savior:

"This is for you. It can make you smarter, learn the knowledge taught by the teachers faster, and let you master those powerful spells and secret techniques faster."

She handed a crystal brooch in the shape of a clover to Elfina Wild. The Dragon maid took it happily and thought it was beautiful.

So the next day, the Green Dragon witch who realized the power of this crystal brooch found the businessman in the forest again:

"Can I get other similar crystals?"

"Of course you can, but this time it won't be free. You need to trade with me to exchange for what you want."

This trade was to exchange a wild rabbit for a new crystal, and when the two parted this day, the businesswoman also told the Green Dragon:

"I will be here every day, and you can find me for trading every day."

The Dragon maid then said regretfully:

"But I can't always be here, I definitely have to return to the academy."

"Then as long as you go back a few days later, you can get more crystals."

Miss Wild hesitated for a while, and finally gave up:

"Although I want the teacher to see me become smarter and more talented, I can't leave the academy for so long. I still have the work of boiling tea and preparing snacks. I won't trade, this is enough."

After saying this, she made up her mind to leave. The businessman watched her leave with a smile behind her:

"Desire is enough, but in her view, responsibility seems more important. She didn't pick up things and put them down, but the responsibility she held in her hand was heavier for her."

(Little Mia is sleeping zzZ...)

Iluna already didn't remember when she came to the forest. It seemed that because of the church's training, she was forced to live in this forest far from the city, slowly waiting for the training time to pass.

She saved the businesswoman chased by the giant bear in the forest, so the businesswoman gave her a gift:

"I know your secret."

The businessman said with a smile:

"Sun, right? Your extraordinary talent didn't come from thin air, the sun gave you great power, but obviously you are also worried about the future."

She gave Iluna a brilliant crystal, which scattered the light of the sun and formed seven colors:

"Carry it on your body, time will stay on you for a while. You will grow slower than others, and things that will happen in the future will also be delayed for a long time before they happen."

Iluna soon found that the crystal was really useful, so the next day she went to find the businessman again to express her gratitude, and the businessman who still didn't leave the forest asked Iluna if she needed more crystals:

"Enough crystals can make time pass more slowly. It's just that these eternal crystals need you to pay a reward."

"No problem, I can pay!"

So, Iluna first obtained new crystals at the cost of "hunting a wild boar", and then obtained more at the cost of "cutting down a small piece of forest" on the third day.

More and more crystals entered Iluna's hands with the trade, and she paid an increasing price for this. Those eternal crystals that can resist the erosion of time, the charming light they flickered, unknowingly blinded her eyes with greed and desire, making her act more and more unscrupulous.

One day a long time later, on a night that no one could record, in order to get more crystals, Iluna was asked to sacrifice a soul. And this time, she refused:

"No, I won't do this."

"But you have already done so many things, is it too unworthy to give up now? The previous efforts will all be in vain."

The businesswoman said, Iluna didn't know why she suddenly thought of a term Xia De had said before called "sunk cost", but she still shook her head:

"In vain is in vain, I cannot sacrifice others for myself, or at least in this matter, doing so is completely not worth it."

She not only refused the businessman, but even threw the crystals she had obtained before to her feet:

"I see, you are not a normal person, right? You are testing my heart, so I don't want these either."

After saying this, she turned and left. The businesswoman looked at her back and muttered to herself:

"The obsession is so deep, but it can also pull out in time before completely falling. The golden balance, fate indeed chose the most correct person. It's just that this time you can put down the sun, can you put down the moon next time?"

(Little Mia is trying to transform...)

Xia De walked in the forest, the businesswoman he saved seemed particularly kind:

"I think you need this."

She gave Xia De a beautiful crystal:

"This is an eternal crystal."

Xia De said:

"But I don't pursue eternity, nor do I pursue power, and even less do I pursue beauty."

After saying this, he wanted to turn and leave, so the businesswoman called him:

"Then... girls?"

"Even without beautiful crystals, I can still pursue girls."

The businesswoman laughed happily, seeing Xia De turn around and prepare to leave again, she asked again:

"Then... the moon?"

Xia De turned his head to look at her, so the businesswoman continued:

"The moon and the sun are the most supreme existences in our world. But even moonlight can be sealed by eternal time."

Xia De looked at the crystal in her hand:

"What do you mean?"

"After the original moon collapsed, part of the moon's remains turned into pure moonlight and was sealed in this crystal. If you don't believe it, soak the crystal in water tonight, and put your head into the water, then you will know if what I said is true."

So Xia De threw the crystal into the water pool behind the giant tree in the elf tribe where he was staying that night. And when he also stretched his head into the water, what he saw was the brilliant light like that silver moon in his dream.

So early the next morning, he found the businessman in the forest again:

"You have more eternal crystals sealed with the remains of the moon, right?"

The businessman laughed:

"Of course, why, is the light of one crystal not enough?"

"I want more. More crystals piece together more remains, until I can... see her."

First, he hunted wild rabbits as trade goods, and then he cut down the thousand-year-old trees in the forest. The trade goods required by the businessman were different every day, but Xia De could take out the goods she required on time every day, even if it was a very cruel commodity.

So days passed by, the reason for coming to the forest became unimportant, and leaving here was also unimportant. Xia De only knew that the eternal crystals sealed with moonlight he obtained were more and more, more and more.

And when those crystals piled up like a mountain were thrown into the water at night, the moon he saw in the water became more and more real. He had a premonition that maybe he could really synthesize a real original moon remnant through this method.
