"Lady Lifa, I think you and Nell need a bit of rest. You've been working non-stop the past three days." Elysia gave a suggestion with care.
"Yeah, even the Gods leave for a break once the relentless work is over." Nell burped and patted her full belly.
"Hm, I think you're right, Ely. I'd better go back to the Nature Realm to rest. I'll be back for you tomorrow morning." Lifa held her forehead. She knew very well that she needed rest.
"I'm not that tired. If you want, I can look after and care for the girls for you." Fortuna pointed at her face. She felt pleased because she finally knew everyone's true names.
"They are asleep now and will wake up in about eight hours." Elysia glanced at Heavenly Palace briefly, then looked back at Fortuna. "If you don't want to rest, how about you come with us for a little adventure, Fortuna?"
"Small adventure? Is it to gather life energy and vitality to heal Ariel to optimal state?" Fortuna didn't mind it.
"Yes, Rhea suggested we concoct some vitality elixir instead of gathering fresh life energy. We will collect vitality herbs, hunt pure life energy, and make treasures, hehe..." Elysia rubbed her hands together, excited to learn to be an alchemist.
"Oh~ That sounds fun. We can also make some high-grade vitality pills with your unique ability. Just so you know, I am an alchemist, a pillmaster in Earth's Heavenly Realm. I can teach you a few things as a teacher, Ely." Fortuna puffed out her chest slightly, proud to introduce her other title.
"That's good, but your divine power needs a little cooldown. You will only teach Ely from the side. The primary teacher and mentor will still be me." Rhea nodded slightly but would not give up her position as Elysia's private teacher.
"I will listen to you." Fortuna sighed and leaned back in her seat. She really couldn't exert much divine power right now.
"Hehe, this is interesting. Let's take Gio and Cherub with us. They've been itching for some action the last three days." Ai picked up the two little dragons.
She felt a bit sorry because these two little ones had felt out of place for the last three days. Everyone was busy with lots of work, but the little dragons could only watch from the side, doing nothing. If days like that continued, they could die of boredom for sure.
"Hmm." Geo nodded in agreement. He would be happy to participate in that little adventure.
"Then, it's decided. Let's go now. Please rest well, Nell. Also, please tidy this up for us~" Elena clapped her hands together, then asked Elysia and everyone else to leave.
"Go, go, I'll sleep like a log until dinner." Nell waved her hand while holding a tissue. She then looked at the dirty plates on the table and sighed.
*Swoosh*
Elysia and her adventure group left the Firmament Realm. She closed the portal using the second administrator privilege Nell gave her. Nell's realm core was also entrusted to her at this time.
After that, Lifa entered the Nature Realm to rest and returned to her main body.
Now, Elysia's adventure team only consists of four girls and two little dragons. They went outside the room, ready to embark on the forbidden territory in the north.
"Miss Elysia, Miss Ai, and the Goddesses? It was a coincidence to meet you here. Are you also leaving?" Theo greeted warmly.
"Yes, as you guessed, Prince Theo. We need to do a few things before our departure to the moon soon. Therefore, it is time for us to leave. Thank you for your hospitality to accommodate us for three days here." Elysia expressed her gratitude politely.
"I see. Then I won't hold you any longer." Theo raised his hand in farewell.
"En, you don't have to send us off. Please convey our gratitude to your father and mother, Prince Theo. See you next time." Elysia waved her hand, then walked away with her group.
Theo waited until Elysia's group was no longer visible in the corridor. He then rubbed his forehead because his family had almost done nothing to entertain the Gods and Goddesses in the past three days. No one knew what the divines were doing in that small room, but he didn't bother to make his life difficult.
"Alas, the Goddess of Light truly appointed some top-tier priestesses. They are first-class beauties, but everyone cannot be touched and can only be seen." Theo was starting to worry when the girls of the quality he was after would be appointed as the divine priestess.
He had to make his move soon before he lost all the best candidate choices for a life partner. If the appointed girl had become a divine priestess, she would be a virgin for life and served the Goddess until she died, after all.
Theo then walked off to the throne hall to report to his father because he had just returned from escorting the three Gods out of the holy city.
"Pfft, that prince also seems to have a crush on you, Ely." Ai put her hands around Elysia's shoulders and whispered.
"Well, he previously pursued Ella for nothing. Ella only has the Goddess of Blessings in her heart." Elysia smiled in amusement and shook her head.
"But, you have a place in her heart too, right? Ely, you bad girl. You abducted so many beautiful girls to our group. Have you ever considered one or two new male members?" Ai poked Elysia's cheek as she tried to tease her twin sister.
"More male member? Why do you ask for that?" Elena glanced sideways, feeling somewhat curious.
"No particular reason. It's just that I feel Gio and Cherub alone are not enough. We need some manpower for the grunt and heavy work." Ai raised her finger and stated the reason with an innocent expression.
"..." Gio and Cherub had just been happy, but they immediately felt slightly sad. They wondered if they were only seen as menial laborers?
It would be good to have some junior brothers, but they also need recognition! It would be unfair if only the girls got the Supreme Goddess's favor and attention!
"It doesn't matter if we get more male members. But, it depends on the person. We don't recruit just anyone. The case of priestesses of various races is special. Ariel and Yusagi are exceptions. Let's see who has fate to join Elysium." Elysia looked up at the sky with a bright expression.
Elysia soon realized Gio and Cherub were dissatisfied with something. Thus, she immediately tried to find out the reason and appease them. These little dragons misunderstood something just because of Ai's request.
"I can help you with that. Let's see the fate and destiny." Fortuna put her hand on her upper chest.
"Now then, that's nothing precarious. Let's go to the forbidden territory." Elena flapped her hand.
"Good, eh?" Elysia checked Evelyn's stone tablet and the golden talisman. Alexander didn't convey anything to her or Ella, but a message came in the stone tablet.
Evelyn's father asked Evelyn to come home, related to that brazen Duke's son who had a contract with a lowly charm demon.
"Huh? We're going to the Mage's Association first. I'll contact Evelyn's parent to ask about the details." Elysia snorted, then took everyone away, flying invisibly toward the Mage's Association branch headquarters in the holy city.
Elysia came as a special guest and immediately contacted Evelyn's parents. She spoke with Evelyn's mother about various matters for thirty minutes and finished their pleasant conversation with a tacit understanding.
After that, Elysia went to the forbidden area with her adventure group using teleportation.
"What about the situation with Evelyn's parents? I thought it was a predicament, but everything sounds fine." Ai shrugged as she somewhat failed to fully grasp the previous conversation.
"Everything is fine apparently. I was just exchanging greetings and sharing a little story with Evelyn's mother. That Duke's son actually made contact with a lowly charm demon. Blake of the Grant Duke household crippled because of a gift from Sylvi. Because of his family's conspiracy, Emperor Kevin dispatched thousands of imperial knights and hundreds of hidden experts to purge the rebels. Evelyn's mother did not provide further details regarding the event." Elysia heaved a sigh of relief.
"No wonder Eve felt uneasy. But, her family should no longer involve Eve in political affairs or mortal matters anymore. She is already a saintess with a Goddess as her backer. Political marriage is out of the question, and letting the troublemaker get close to her is beyond ridiculous." Ai folded her arms and snorted in annoyance.
"Yes, I have said something similar. Eve, and our people are not to be involved in complicated political matters. We have a noble goal and priorities to work out, after all. They only asked me to take good care of Eve." Elysia nodded in understanding.
"Hmm? Are those merchant ships? What are they doing sailing into the forbidden territory? This is the Unknown Continent, right?" Fortuna noticed several ships approaching from the southwest.
"That fleet isn't filled with humans, but undead and skeleton demons. Wait, they came from the direction of the Human Continent, right? Hmm, they probably fled from the human's onslaught because of the threat from the holy church's aggressiveness." Elena stroked her chin, guessing at the most plausible reason.
"What are we going to do with them? Purge them to ashes?" Ai clasped her fist.
"Hehe, let's do something more civil first. They are demons, and obviously led by someone. The evil Demon Kings are dead. They might be of use to us." Elysia smiled faintly.
"You mean, beat them up before any talk? Let's show them who's boss. The Ruvoid God they worship won't save them." Ai dropped her fist onto her open palm. She felt enlightened and motivated.
