Chapter 466: determination
There was a guardian, a powerful undead Lord, and a lowly and hateful human.
Over the long years of Catarian’s life, it was completely unimaginable how these three completely different races were able to sit together and drink tea happily.
What was even more incomprehensible to catarian was that the former priest of the sacred tree, and the most obedient and obedient elf priest, Tyreen, had become one of them!
Judging from the attitude of the undead lord towards Tyreen, she seemed to like Tyreen very much.
Shouldn’t the undead, who had always accompanied death, hate the world tree? After all, the World Tree was a huge collection of life energy.
Catarian’s thoughts were a little chaotic. During the time that the ice dragon felt that it was being dominated by the gray fog, the world seemed to have changed a little.
“Can I have black tea?”
Joshua handed a cup of black tea to the male-looking ice dragon.
However, according to the information provided by the Dark Elves, Joshua learned that every protector of the world tree was gender-neutral. They were the ‘only’individuals, and each death symbolized a new life.
As for the appearance of a human, it was like a deceiver. No matter how they changed, it would be decided according to their preferences.
Catarian did not take the black tea that Joshua handed over, even though the ice dragon had used its sense of smell to confirm that there was no ‘poison’in the black tea.
However, Catarian did not come here to drink afternoon tea!
“Tyreen.”
Catarian’s gaze instantly softened when he looked at the frost elf.
This ice dragon was not in the mood to think about why the Guardian and the Lord of the undead would appear in a human city.
Catarian’s original purpose in coming to Nolan was to keep the sacred tree away from those dangerous humans!
“Leave with me,”Catarian said.
In catarian’s memories, Tyreen was the most obedient of the twelve frost elf priests, and she was also the closest elf to catarian.
The Frost Elves that Catarian had protected for over a thousand years had watched this frost elf in front of them from her childhood to adulthood.
When Tyreen was still young, catarian would often sing lullabies to put her to sleep.
This kind of relationship was similar to that of a mentor and mother-daughter relationship. No matter how one looked at it, it was much more reliable than the ‘friends’she had made in Nolan.
“Protector…”
At this moment, Tyreen’s answer was very hesitant.
This ice dragon had overlooked a very important factor. The little girl who had to hum a lullaby every day to fall asleep had now completely grown up!
Tyreen’s gaze glanced at Joshua who was sitting next to her. Joshua made a shrug to indicate that he could not give any advice.
Tyreen remained silent for a few seconds before she looked up at Catarian again.
“I’m sorry, Protector… I Can’t leave this city!”
The tone of Tyreen’s words was not as gentle and weak as usual. Instead, it was filled with determination.
“Can’t? Are they threatening you?”Catarian’s vertical pupils glanced at Joshua as if he had misunderstood Joshua’s shrug.
Without waiting for Joshua to explain himself, Tyreen immediately shook her head and rejected Catarian’s idea.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Tyreen, have you forgotten who destroyed our home?”
Catarian’s gaze swept across Hiri who was sitting beside Joshua.
This ice dragon had a great prejudice against humans. However, this time, Hiri did not fear Catarian’s gaze. Instead, he glared at catarian.
Even the mini wings of death on Hiri’s shoulder spat out a small fireball like a demonstration.
“I didn’t forget… Of course I didn’t forget.”Tyreen held her hands tightly, and a sad expression appeared on her face. With catarian’s reminder.., tyreen once again recalled those nightmarish days.
“I watched helplessly as those people in the gray fog killed my mother and father, but I was powerless. Even if I covered my ears, I could hear everyone’s cries. Elder Kuci, Priest Celtia… They all fell into blood,”Tyreen muttered to herself. “In the end, I was the only one left to escape in the snow. Even if I was lucky enough to come to the human world, I could only hide in a dark corner and tremble.”
Catarian’s anger subsided a little as he listened to Tyreen’s narration. The Ice Dragon’s heart was also filled with self-blame.
Therefore, Catarian tried his best to soften his tone.
“Tyreen and I will leave this city. It is said that no human will set foot in the city of the High Elves, much less harm you.”
“Protector, Nolan’s people did not harm me.”Tyreen raised her head and met Katarian’s gaze once again.
“That is only a superficial phenomenon. The hearts of those people are made of mud and water. When you are caught off guard, you will realize how Dirty Your Heart Is.”
Katarian stared at Tyreen, his gaze carrying the dignity of a dragon and an elder.
Tyreen felt the pressure from the pressure of the dragon. Hiri wanted to say a few words for Tyreen, but he was stopped by Joshua, who also stopped the skeleton duke.
Only Tyreen herself could convince the ice dragon. If others joined in, it would only make the relationship more tense.
“I know not everyone can be called ‘kind’, but…”a white cat with a faint glow suddenly appeared in Tyreen’s palm.
“Holy Tree.”
Catarian had been thinking of bringing Tyreen away from here, but he had neglected the will of the world tree that was currently lying in Tyreen’s hand.
After the world tree was destroyed, if one wanted to be reborn, they could only do so in the most basic form of a seed.
Catarian did not know how many years it would take for the seed to germinate, but the growth of the world tree was fed by the Frost Elves’faith.
Logically speaking, Tyreen was the only one who believed in the holy tree.
But judging from the aura emitted by the white cat, it was definitely not a level that Tyreen could reach with his faith alone.
“With Mr. Joshua’s help, the people of Nolan can hear my singing and the stories I tell every day. The stories that Mr. Joshua wrote are very interesting… No.”Tyreen was clearly panicking when she realized that she had gone off topic, she organized her words again and said, “In short, the people of Nolan like my singing and the stories that Mr. Joshua wrote!”
“What does this prove?”Katarian said impatiently. The voices of the Elves were not very beautiful to the dragons, let alone the humans.
“Because I also like the songs that I sing and the stories that Mr. Joshua wrote!”Tyreen’s eyes were fixed on Katarian, at this moment, Catarian saw something called ‘determination’in the Frost Elf’s eyes. “I believe that people who like the same songs and stories as me… must be good people!”
When catarian heard what Tyreen said, he should have ridiculed her for saying that everything was illogical, but catarian noticed the most crucial point.
Those humans provided nutrients for the holy tree!
Humans… how could they provide nutrients for the holy tree? Or rather, how could those humans worship the world tree!
“Also, when the holy tree was still a seed, the gray fog was still shrouding it. It was Mr. Joshua and Nolan’s people who saved me and Enlucy.”Before Tyreen could finish her sentence, catarian interrupted her.
“The erosion of the gray fog was attached to the holy tree in the Seed State?”Catarian looked at the white cat in disbelief, as if asking, “How did you survive?”.
The white cat yawned lazily. After scratching its chin with its claws, it opened its narrowed eyes and looked at Joshua.
Catarian’s gaze followed the white cat’s line of sight and looked at Joshua who was watching the show with a cup of black tea.
“Ahem, this… let me explain.”
Jose, who had been watching the romantic drama with a cup of black tea for a long time, felt that it was about time to intervene in the discussion between the two of them.
