Chapter 2922 Rules and Obsession

Chapter 2922 Control and Obsession

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

Don't be too far away from the blackboard to make Xia De less nervous;

Don't be too far away from the gods, so as not to show your disrespect;

Don't get too close to the gods, to prevent your fragile self from being unable to bear the huge mental pressure;

Don't be too far away from your teammates who don't know what position they will choose at this time, so as not to appear too abrupt.

While the girls were thinking about where to sit, Shad was still thinking about what to say. He glanced at Emilia. He knew a lot about the stories of elves, but he had to consider whether God had another purpose for him to give the lecture, such as making Miss Maze realize what she was.

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

The black-robed god said, and Shade made a gesture to ask for advice, and the god asked:

“What good qualities do you think you possess?”

“Be cautious and self-disciplined.”

Shade answered, and the god smiled and nodded:

"So what good qualities do you think you lack?"

"this."

It is still a little difficult to answer his own shortcomings. The stranger carefully thought about everything he had experienced since he came to this world. He was able to help the weak, fight against evil, and maintain a simple life even if he was rich. He would not become arrogant or even bully the weak just because he became powerful.

But if there was anything he thought he did wrong, it was probably his relationship with the girls. Although everyone said they didn't mind, Shad still felt that he owed them something.

"Dedicated?"

After touching Mia in his pocket, Shade said tentatively. This time, before the god spoke, Iluna, who had just chosen a seat and sat down, immediately jumped up:

"It's a neutral word. It's not a good quality!"

If Shad really promised to the gods that he would be loyal, then the eighteen-year-old balanced chosen one would be the first to disagree, because it was obvious that the person Shad chose would definitely be the purple-eyed fortune teller.

The dragon maid, who was shrinking her head aside, could easily see the current state of Shade's emotional life from Iluna's words.

"Then pick another one."

God suggested, and Shad continued to think. He really believed that all the bad things he did were related to the girls, so he still had to choose in this matter.

The answer came out immediately. Shad did have an idea about the story he chose. Dorothy and Lesia had been giving lectures for two months. Now that he understood the core of the story, he made a final decision.

He raised his hand and let the piece of World Tree bark float aside. His ability of [Reading] allowed him to use his mental power to write the contents of a story on the bark. He looked at the people in front of him, and they all looked at him:

"I will share with you a story about elves, a story about greed and moderation, and a story about eternal crystal. So, are you ready?"

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

(Little Mia is running.)

The gray wolf roams freely in the forest, liberating its nature in a pure werewolf posture. This is actually her favorite thing, but because of the way people look at her, Sibel Bist rarely does this.

With a backpack on her back, she only had eyes ahead. This seemed to be another unfamiliar forest, but it didn't matter at all, because night would eventually fall and the moon would appear again. Her journey would always only have the future and the moon, and where she went was not important.

Suddenly, she heard a cry for help not far ahead, so the kind werewolf first changed back to human form, and quickly approached after making sure her tail was hidden. She quickly rescued the businesswoman who was being chased by the giant bear, and the beautiful businesswoman was next to the giant bear's body, wanting to give her a gift.

"No, I didn't save you for the gift. You were chased by that bear, and you must have lost a lot of goods. Now leave here quickly. I heard that there is a kind elf tribe nearby, and they can get you out of the forest."

The wolf girl kindly reminded her, but the business woman still wanted to give her a gift:

"You deserve it. It can help you see the moon better and appreciate its beauty better."

The merchant took out a pair of small crystal glasses, which looked so beautiful and unusual in the dim forest light. But the gray wolf was stunned for a moment, then threw the glasses to the ground in anger:

"I saved you, why do you insult me? I want to chase the moon just because it is there. What is the difference between using external objects to let me see the moon and looking at an oil painting to appreciate the moon?"

The proud werewolf raised his head:

"My road has no end. The meaning of traveling is just to move forward. What's the point of taking shortcuts? I will keep moving forward, looking at the moon. Until one day my soul falls into death, the silver moon will still greet me in front of me, and I will walk towards it with my head held high."

After saying that, she walked away angrily. The business woman was not angry either. She stood there and looked at her back:

"She looks very obsessed, but actually there is nothing in her eyes. She is such an excellent girl. She has never picked up anything, so she doesn't need to put it down."

(Mi Mia basking in the sun)

Emilia felt as if she had forgotten something, but it felt really good to walk freely in the forest.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had run and hunted like this in the forest. Although the feeling of pulling the bow to hunt deer was uncomfortable, this was how wild elves in the forest should be. She was no longer a modern civilized elf.

While running in the trees of the forest like flying, she suddenly heard a cry for help not far away. When Emilia came closer, she found a beautiful woman who was in a panic and was being chased by a wild bear.

So the Elf drew his bow and shot an arrow, which pierced the bear's neck.

The giant bear fell down with a crash, and the woman who fell down out of fear was helped up by Emilia, and she said she wanted to thank Emilia:

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

She was wearing a cloak, a brown simple cloth skirt underneath, and a cross-body backpack. The woman who claimed to be a merchant then took out a crystal potion bottle that sparkled with seven colors from her bag:

"This is for you."

"Sorry what is this?"

Emilia did not refuse. She believed that she should be rewarded for saving people, so that others would be more willing to save people in the future.

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

The beautiful business woman smiled and said:

"This way, the person you like will be able to look at you more."

Emilia took the potion and used it after returning to her tribe's settlement. She became stronger, taller, and more mature.

The delighted elf went to the merchant the next day to express his gratitude, and the merchant, who for some reason had not left the forest, said temptingly:

"I have a lot more of this potion. If you want it, would you be willing to exchange something with me?"

Emilia certainly wanted to be more powerful and more beautiful so that she would have a chance to compete with those beautiful witches:

"Can I get some more?"

The "greedy" elf then asked.

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

The beautiful business woman said with a smile, and Emilia nodded immediately:

"No problem. I'll bring one for my friends Ajelina and Iluna as well. They'll love it too."

The business woman was a little surprised. She shook her head and said:

"No, this is for you only. Wouldn't it be nice if you could use it alone and become stronger and more beautiful than your friends?"

Emilia pursed her lips and finally shook her head apologetically:

"Then we won't trade. We are friends and I can't run away on my own."

After saying that, she walked away without looking back, leaving the merchant staring at her back:

"She clearly wanted more, but pulled away because of friendship. It's not that she has learned moderation, but that her hands and feet are bound by other chains. Although she picked up things, she can easily put them down, which is also good."

(Mia is eating.)

The green dragon maid hummed a song while picking mushrooms and collecting herbs in the forest, her wings flapping behind her without even touching the ground.

She encountered a female businessman being chased by a giant bear, so she burned the bear with a flame and wondered if she could drag the bear's body back to make a special meal for the teachers who were visiting the elf tribe.

The businesswoman wanted to repay her lifesaver:

"I give this to you. It will make you smarter and help you learn the knowledge your teachers teach you faster, allowing you to master those powerful spells and secret techniques faster."

She handed Alfina Wilde a crystal brooch in the shape of a clover, and the dragon maid happily took it and thought it was beautiful.

So the next day, the Green Dragon Witch, who had experienced the power of the crystal brooch, found the merchant in the forest again:

"Can I get other similar crystals?"

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

This time the transaction was to exchange a hare for new crystals, and when the two parted that day, the business woman also told the green dragon:

"I will be here every day, and you can find me to trade every day."

The dragon maid then said with regret:

"But I can't stay here forever. I must return to the academy."

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

Miss Wilder hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and gave up:

"Although I want the teacher to see that I have become smart and talented, I can't leave the academy for that long. I still have work to do, such as making tea and preparing snacks. I won't trade anymore. This is enough."

After saying this, she made up her mind and left. The merchant looked at her with a smile from behind:

"She has enough desires, but in her opinion, responsibility seems to be more important. It's not that she can put down something after picking it up, but the responsibility in her hands is heavier for her."

(Mia is in hibernationzzZ)

Iluna could not remember when she came to the forest. It seemed that because of the Vatican's training, she was forced to live temporarily with the elves in this woodland far away from the city, slowly waiting for the training time to pass.

She saved a business woman who was being chased by a giant bear in the forest, and the business woman gave her a gift:

"I know your secret."

The businessman smiled and said:

"The sun, right? Your extraordinary talent did not come out of thin air. The sun gave you great power, but it is obvious that you are also worried about the future."

She gave Iluna a brilliant crystal, which scattered the sunlight and formed seven colors:

"Carry it with you, and time will stop for a little while on you. You will grow slower than others, and things that will happen in the future will be delayed for a long time."

Iluna soon discovered that the crystal was really useful, so the next day she went to find the merchant again to express her gratitude. The merchant, who still did not leave the forest, asked Iluna if she needed more crystals:

"With enough crystals, time can pass more slowly. But you need to pay for these eternal crystals."

"No problem, I can pay!"

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

More and more crystals came into Iluna's hands through transactions, and she paid a higher and higher price for them. Those eternal crystals that could withstand the erosion of time, shining with charming light, unknowingly blinded her greed and desire, making her act more and more reckless.

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

"No, I won't do that."

"But you've already done so much. It's not worth it to give up now. All your previous efforts will be wasted."

The business woman said, and for some reason Iluna suddenly remembered a term called "sunk cost" that Shade had mentioned before, but she still shook her head:

"It's in vain. I can't sacrifice others for my own sake. Or at least in this case, it's totally not worth it."

Not only did she reject the merchant, she even threw all the crystals she had obtained before at her feet:

"I can see that you are not a normal person, right? You are testing my heart, so I don't want any of these anymore."

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

"Even if the obsession is so deep, you can still pull yourself away in time before falling completely. Balanced gold, fate has indeed chosen the right person. But if you can let go of the sun this time, can you let go of the moon next time?"

(Little Mia is trying to transform.)

Xia De walked in the woods, and the female businessman he rescued seemed particularly kind:

"I think you need this."

She gave Shad a beautiful crystal:

"This is the eternal crystal."

Shade said:

“But I don’t seek eternity, nor do I seek power, nor do I seek beauty.”

As he was about to turn around and leave, the business woman stopped him:

"And the girl?"

"Even if I don't have beautiful crystals, I can still woo girls."

The business woman smiled happily. Seeing Xia De turning around and preparing to leave, she asked again:

"So, what about the moon?"

Xia De turned his head and looked at her, and the businesswoman continued:

"The moon and the sun are the most supreme beings 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 debris 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 in the water, then you will know if what I said is true."

So that night, Shade threw the crystal into the pool behind the giant tree in the tribe of elves where he was staying. When he put his head into the water, he saw a light as bright as the silver moon in his dream.

So he found the merchant in the woods early the next morning:

"You have more Eternal Crystals that contain the remains of the moon, right?"

The businessman laughed and said:

"Of course. Why, the light of one crystal isn't enough?"

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

First, they hunted rabbits as trading commodities, and then they cut down the thousand-year-old trees in the forest. The trading commodities required by the merchants were different every day, but Shade could always take out what she asked for on time every day, even if it was a very cruel commodity.

So as the days passed, the reason for coming to the forest became less important, and leaving here became less important. Shad only knew that he obtained more and more eternal crystals that sealed the moonlight.

When the piles of crystals were thrown into the water at night, the moon he saw in the water became more and more real. He had a hunch that maybe he could really use this method to synthesize a piece of the remains of the original moon.
