Ever since he witnessed how Wise lived in a tree house. Kryst decided to also make a tree house for himself. They have been sleeping under Yggdrasil's shadow for a long time and did not even considered making a house. Kryst always thought it was unnecessary, but more Elves will be born in the future.
Kryst thought of allocating a blank meadow to plant trees in it. Kryst along with Nabi stepped down from the tree house after making sure Sherwin was deep asleep.
The two went down the mountain and started plucking out trees to be transplanted inside the space. They carefully choose a suitable tree to be inhabited and then put them all inside the space.
Han Nabi and Kryst appeared inside the space. They by passed the fields of crops and went to the land behind Yggdrasil which has not been planted yet.
When Han Nabi was about to lift her hoe and start plowing. She suddenly saw Kryst producing silk like threads and cutting all the grasses. Some threads dig inside the earth and started plowing with their sharp weaved blade.
Han Nabi paused her movements and watched Kryst with mouth gaped open. A few hours later, Kryst retracted all the dirty threads into his fingertips and turned his head to Han Nabi's direction.
" What are you staring at? Transplant all the trees already. "
Han Nabi immediately woke up from her trance and run towards the plucked out trees and started lifting them over her shoulders and carefully out the trunk inside the pits. Han Nabi gritted her teeth as she pushed the heavy tree and slowly patted the soil.
After sprinkling waters over it. Han Nabi happily turned her head in Kryst's direction and froze seeing him lifting up trees mid-air, transplanted them. Banged the soil with hammer weaved threads and pour water with the other thread. Kryst looked like he possessed octopus like arms as he worked quickly and efficiently.
Han Nabi bit her tongue in jealousy and sobbed inwardly. She wishes she could have multiple arms too!!!
A green haired man with several flowers over the head patted the aggrieved lady.
" It's ok, you also have your own use. "
Han Nabi lowered her head down. Feeling that she never helped a lot in the transplanting operation.
After transplanting the trees. A satisfied boy and a dejected young lady appeared on the foot of the mountains and climb back up to their tree house. Han Nabi sobbed and hugged the sleeping Baby Kathryn.
Han Nabi looked silently at her hands. She only know martial arts. What can she do for her to become useful?
A voice suddenly rang inside her head.
" Cook more delicious food for them. "
Han Nabi's eyes immediately sparkled. " Right! "
Right!!!
She is a good cook!!!
Han Nabi no longer felt depressed and thought of cooking a more delicious food for them tomorrow morning. Han Nabi no longer felt useless in the group.
Yggdrasil inside the space sighed and subconsciously touched the three little flowers on his head. Because of Han Nabi's strong feelings. Yggdrasil, as her god, could percieve the fluctuations of her emotions giving him the access to read her mind. That was why when he vaguely deciphered the waves in her brain, he immediately linked his divinity to her and suggested her something useful.
The next day, Han Nabi woke up early to boil Kathryn a milk. Kryst was leaning on the wall as he read the theories in the book that Wise gave him.
Sherwin finished packing all his things and turned to Han Nabi. " We'll be leaving after eating. "
Kryst stopped reading and nodded. Han Nabi invited all of them to start eating.
By the time they finished having their breakfast. Han Nabi and Sherwin followed after Kryst when Kryst went to Wise's Treehouse to bade good to him.
" Don't forget to come back sometimes, young boy." Said the amicable looking white Owl.
Kryst nodded, " I will. "
It's not that they would stay for a lifetime in the north
At the same time, Lienor and his team had reach the middle east already.
Lienor decided to stop and told his teammates to call it a day as the night had already began falling down. Everyone agreed to Lienor unanimously and followed after him as they entered a dark cave while holding their torches.
When they entered the cave. Lucas along with his other teammates lit a bonfire to warm up their body.
Everyone circled around the bonfire and started busying themselves marinating meat and stabbed them with the stick. All of them started roasting their own food and a delectable scent.
Everyone gaped their mouth open, watering as they stared at the meat being roasted in fire with intense hungry eyes which now resemblance like wolves.
They have been journeying nonstop these past few hours and they were tired of walking and defending against those hateful giant red eyed long eared monsters.
After everyone was satisfied with the meal. They then proceeded to lay down leaves on the ground and lied on it while using their bags as their pillow.
Lienor leaned on the cold wall and stared at the moon above the sky.
As far as he could remember, Kryst's tribe was also named after the moon.
Lienor extended his hand and hold out his palm as if he was trying to grasp the whole moon.
" Why are you still awake, Chief? "
A voice suddenly resounded in the quiet cave. Lienor turned his head to the side and met Liam's eyes who was also leaning on the cold wall across him.
Lienor sighed then slowly lied down on the ground as he replied. " Just had some things going on in my head. "
Liam poked on the bonfire as he replied. " Don't worry about it too much, the thing that you wanted to happen will eventually happen in the future. "
" Really? "
Lienor turned his body to face the bonfire and stared at the burning fire.
Liam hummed in response. " Yes "
" I see "
Lienor nodded and felt that the urgency in his heart finally subsiding. Lienor slowly closed his eyes and fell into his Dreamland.
Early in the morning, everyone woke up and started preparing for another round of journey. Everyone ate abundant of food and drink plenty of water to remain healthy and active throughout the whole journey.
They then added some new discoveries which they had observed in the map and then decided to proceed.
At the same time, Kryst and his party also continued walking after taking a rest on their makeshift tents. Kathryn was within Kryst's arms as they walked forward.
Sherwin followed after them and couldn't think of the reason why is he still following these three peculiar beautiful people.
There seems to be something that happened after that very incident when they let Han Nabi joined their party.
Han Nabi also transformed and now had the same pointy ears like Kryst's.
Just what kind of race is Kryst and Kathryn?
Sherwin felt left out, Kryst always held his secret in his own and never even explained just a bit of it his information to him.
It kinda felt unfair.
When they were in the middle of walking. Sherwin couldn't hold himself back any longer and immediately asked. " Kryst, just what race are you? "
Han Nabi and Kryst paused their steps and turned their heads into the direction of Sherwin. The two stared at each other for a little while before sighing.
" We are called Elves. We are the elf kind under the protection of the Tree God of Life, Yggdrasil. " Kryst said and subconsciously touched his hair.
" We are the newest beings in this world as we have just been created not a long time ago. "
Han Nabi pointed at herself. " I had been differentiated earlier because I lost my faith to my former god, and I became an elf after I submitted myself to Lord God Yggdrasil. "
When Kathryn touched Kryst's pointy ears. Kryst then added. " Pointy ears and outstanding looks were especially our racial features. "
Sherwin hearing their words immediately felt his throat turning sour.
" Is that God of Life, Yggdrasil really a god of life? He should have been called the God of Beauty instead. "
Han Nabi laughed out loud hearing Sherwin's remarks. " I agree with you, but we cannot change that. Our god just had a high standard of beauty. "
Kryst turned to glance at Sherwin and nonchalantly commented." You don't look bad yourself, as a snake demon. In human beauty standard, you will definitely be a devastating beauty in their territory. "
Sherwin grumbled. " Not all snakes look good you know. "
" Speaking of beauty, I had never saw any demons in our race that possessed a beauty that is superior to yours. " Sherwin said with envy as he stared at Kathryn, Han Nabi and Kryst.
When Sherwin unconsciously praised their looks. Kathryn suddenly gave him her baby bottle.
" Ah? " Sherwin held the baby bottle in confusion.
Kathryn patted the snake demon's cold hands and said. " Yu awr handswam too. "
When Kathryn's milky voice resonated. The whole valley area suddenly froze in silence. The cacophony of footsteps immediately paused followed by the noisy chirping sounds of crickets.
Sherwin's red slit eyes froze and constricted. Han Nabi's and Kryst's eyes also constricted and stared at the blue haired litt elf in Kryst's arms with a shocked gaze.
" ... " Kryst
" 0....0 " Han Nabi
" 0W0 " Sherwin
Yggdrasil covered her lips emotionally.
Oh my little child.... We didn't expect for her to be able to speak now..
Why do my children always grow so fast.
Kathryn blinked her eyes at them and suddenly giggled. " Fwool hehehe. "
Han Nabi's body weakend and subconsciously leaned her body on Sherwin. Sherwin subconsciously captured Han Nabi and stared at Kathryn in shock.
" ... " Kryst
Kryst lightly flicked Kathryn's mouth and said. " Where did you learn to speak like that. "
Kathryn covered her lips and smiled. " Kispy, I mwade it uwp mwysewlf. "
" When did you learn how to speak? " Asked Han Nabi hesitantly.
Kathryn removed her hand covering her mouth and blinked her eyes adorably. " I awm awlways, liswening, to yow guys. "
" I leawrn it by mwaysewlf. "
Han Nabi covered her mouth and crouched down.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah .
Ah!!!
Graaah!!!!
So cute!
Sherwin twitched the corner of his mouth and hesitantly waved his hands.
Han Nabi, calm down.
Calm down dude, your face looked terrifying just now.
Kathryn tilted her head and blinked her head.
Why diwd Siws Nawbi crouched just now?
Ham Nabi stood up and patted her chest as she rubbed her red cheeks. He then looked at Kryst hesitantly. " Can you give Kathryn to me for a while, Kryst? Just for a little bit, promise. "
Kryst stared at Han Nabi with weird eyes and subconsciously tightened his hold on Kathryn. " What are you going to do with Kathryn?"
" Me? " Han Nabi lifted his brows up.
No ... I'm just going to take a bite on Kathryn's cheeks. Just a soft bite.
Kathryn suddenly shivered when Han Nabi stared at her with hungry eyes.
" Bwather~ I'm scwared! "
Kryst glared at Han Nabi and immediately covered Kathryn's watery eyes.
" What are you giving the child with such fierce eyes?! "
Han Nabi immediately held up her hands in the air. " I'm innocent! I didn't do anything! "
Kryst hmmped at her then immediately shook Kathryn's body. " It's ok baby, brother will protect you from evil people. "
Han Nabi immediately touched her chest in disbelief. " That's too exaggerated young Kryst, I just want to hold Kathryn. That's all."
" What hold? Just tell me that you actually wanted to rain Kathryn with clingy kisses!"
Han Nabi blushed and touched her cheeks shyly. " As a baby slave, who wouldn't wish to hold such a cute baby. "
Han Nabi had just spoken that when Yggdrasil suddenly spoke that even Sherwin was allowed to hear his voice.
" Just wait Saintess Han, there would be more babies like Kathryn upcoming to be cared by you. "
Han Nabi's eyes immediately sparkled. " Really? "
" Really, but don't complain to us after you gets tried. "
" ... "Han Nabi
Sherwin held himself back from laughing and giggled. " Pfft. "
Han Nabi immediately gave a kick to Sherwin's butt. " What are you laughing by yourself there!! "
" No .. haha"
" Nye Nye , haha. " Han Nabi rolled her eyes.
But thinking of more little elves that will be born soon. Kathryn stared thinking of ways to take good care of children more effeciently.
Now that Kathryn gas actually grown to be able to speak now.
Then it must probably be the time to train her mana cultivation. Yggdrasil thought to himself.
Elf grows fast, but Kathryn wouldn't grow as fast as Kryst..
Although, Yggdrasil wants to have Kathryn to enjoy her childhood more.
He couldn't deny that their race is still unstable and weak.
----
After a few more turns and rests. The group of elves and demon finally neared the vicinity of the salt lake according to the map.
At the same time, Lienor, Liam and his teammates arrived at town that owns the authority over the Salt Lake near the Mainlands.
Liam then told Lienor to be careful not to be discovered that they were the humans of the God of War, Ares.
Humans of Apollo and Humans of Ares were completely different species.
Only a minority knows of the existence of the shapeshifters in the barbarian lands but everyone knows that God Apollo and God Ares are enemies.
