"Hm?"
Jane subconsciously raised her head when she felt something that somehow caught her attention.
She glanced at the top of the World tree which only required a few tens of steps before she managed to reach it.
There, Jane... Found nothing.
She tilted her head, feeling strange that the strange feeling that had attracted her attention earlier had simply disappeared.
Jane glanced at Seearial. The little fairy calmly sat on her shoulder and didn't look like she was feeling something like she had felt before.
Jane frowned, but she shook her head and forgot about the strange feeling.
She currently has to choose a new Job, that's all.
Although that strange feeling bothered her a little, she currently had other priorities.
A short while later Jane stood at the top of the World tree, a building built in the flat space between the World tree branches with a mixture of natural rock and the wood of the World tree itself.
The World tree's signature golden green foliage covered the ceiling of this place and shone faintly with the light of sun, giving the illusion that it was a sacred place.
Well, in fact, this building was the ancestral temple of the elves and was indeed believed to be a sacred place among the elves, so the holy feeling might not be just an illusion.
Jane's high heels sound softly every time they come into contact with the stone streets.
The stone streets have various types of symbols and unknown letters carved on them. After gathering a lot of information all along, Jane knew that these letters were the ancestors of the alphabet language that elves and NPCs in the DOL used today.
No record of it exists or has not been discovered by Jane, but what is clear is that the letters certainly do not exist for mere decorative purposes.
On both sides of the stone street, the Moon Ruby flower, which has the characteristic bright blue petals in normal times and will turn red every time a full moon occurs, flourishes and covers almost all the places that exist except the stone street and the main building of the temple.
30 meters from the main temple building there is a beautiful 6-meter-tall statue of Elf with a magic wand in its hand.
This statue is a statue of a figure known as the Lunar Queen, the famous elven queen who opened this land for elves. She was the woman who led the migration of elf race from another continent to this continent, the Lunar Queen, Remianavass Emereen.
Jane and Seearial only pay their respects to the Lunar Queen statue for a moment as they pass by it before climbing a short staircase to the main building of the temple.
The elven ancestral temple was vast, with a total of more than 50 temples built separately at the top of the World tree.
However, Jane's current goal was to choose a job, so she ignored these temples and walked towards the small square built in the middle of this peak.
There, the typical ancient building of the Job Palace can be seen by Jane.
The appearance and size of this Job Palace 100% resemble the Job Palace that Leen once used in Muvill Town.
The only difference is that the Job Palace here looks more well-maintained. Moreover, at the top of this World tree, there was not a single guard guarding the Job Palace.
That's right, the use of the Job Palace here is free! In this matter, can be seen that elves is more generous than humans!
The Orb of Task shone faintly in the center of the Job Palace.
Jane was just about to walk into the Job Palace when a man walked in front of her, blocking Jane's path.
The man smiled softly, looking gentle and kind.
"Oh, Your Majesty, Princess Jane. It seems that Goddess Grassia has blessed you since I saw you here!"
Jane stopped walking and looked at the silver-haired man and dressed as an elven priest.
This man was Serron, someone who had received the task of guarding and caring for the elven ancestral temple since before even the current Elf King ruled.
He was an elf with a lifespan of over 3000 years and must have great strength.
He is known for being kind and his looks do confirm that, but...
Jane frowned slightly.
Why did I feel uncomfortable when I saw this man?
***
Chyscrand Emereen raised his head and glanced at Alyvard who was coming to his office more often since now.
At first, Chyscrand was glad to see Alyvard excited about his work. However, over time, he began to realize that was not the case.
Alyvard was very focused on his work, but he looked too pensive into it, as if he was drowning.
Although the problem of traitors among their elves race was indeed a big problem, Alyvard shouldn't need to be so depressed in this regard. It seems that there are other issues that burden him down even more.
Chyscrand also realized that Alyvard often searched for records and documents from several decades ago.
After Chyscrand attributes his behavior to the change in attitude that occurred to Jane and the fact that Jane once said that she saw the dream about her truth, he easily sees Alyvard's purpose.
Chyscrand slowly closed his eyes.
The memories of that day replayed in his head.
"Report, Your Highness! A girl... A girl who was once be told by the temple keeper has been born!"
Chyscrand still vividly remembers how his trusted minister who usually looked calm frantically barged into his office.
"The girl had green hair and eyes, just like the hair of the goddess of nature! She... She received the blessing of the goddess!"
The news brought an uproar that day.
Although this news should be a grateful news for elves, the existence of a girl who was born with the blessing of the goddess of nature but was not born into the royal or noble family was really detrimental to their authority.
Chyscrand could still clearly remember how the elven nobles of that day came to him and urged him to adopt this girl or find a way to make this girl the daughter of a noble elf.
For the elves, at least the majority of them, the goddess of nature was the most important thing to them.
With the appearance of this girl, if the royal family or elven nobles left her as she was, their authority and interests would definitely be overshadowed by this girl.
Receiving the blessing means that she is the goddess's choice. How could nobles possibly compete with her?
Therefore, before that happened, they had to limit this girl's influence.
Under the leadership of Serron, the elven ancestral temple keeper, a group of elven nobles began to plan how they should restrain this girl.
Interests and power are clearly far more important to them than the goddess...
Chyscrand is aware of their evil plan, so with the intention of limiting the influence of this girl blessed by the goddess as well as protecting her, he secretly visits Jane's parents with the Queen.
They both explained slowly and as best they could to Jane's parents the potential dangers that loom over this little newborn baby and all of them and the reasons why this adoption is necessary.
Although with a heavy heart, Jane's parents agreed to Chyscrand's proposal.
They agreed that Jane would eventually be handed over to the Elven King and Queen to be adopted as an elven princess.
But before that, Jane's parents begged that they be left to raise Jane to a certain age. They want to see how their beloved daughter grow at least for a while.
Jane lives in remoteness. Her family raised her while desperately trying to prevent her whereabouts from being known to the public before being taken to the palace...
Chyscrand sighed and drove away the memories.
He then looked at Alyvard who was seriously reading the documents and notes that seemed to have the possibility of relating to the truth about Jane while continuing to do his job well.
Chyscrand himself had hidden everything about Jane, so he knew that his son's efforts would end in vain.
Chyscrand could only smile bitterly at the sight of Alyvard's figure.
After experiencing a fierce inner conflict for a while, eventually Chyscrand decided to call Alyvard.
"Alyvard... Listen..."
