Chapter 303 - Plan To Go To The Fairy Continent
Elena and Nell walked out of the guest room without making any sound. They noticed Rosie and Fran listening to the old wizard's sermon about magic.
"Mm, please continue. We'll be leaving for the Imperial Palace in 60 to 90 minutes." Elena waved her hand softly and lightly as Rosie and the others come to a halt.
After receiving absentminded nods from Rosie and Fran, Elena and Nell casually headed to Elysia's workroom.
The four people in the living room could only look at each other, wondering what the two Goddesses were doing in the guest room for three hours. However, it was none of their business to investigate it either.
"Oh my, are you done with your paperwork?" Elena greeted with a gentle smile.
Elysia put down the paper she just checked. She glanced at Ella and Evelyn, they were just waiting for her, and she only had five documents left. "En, we're almost done to catch up with everything."
Right after that, Nell immediately floated forward and put forth her aim. "Uhm, Elysia, we need to talk for a moment. I have something important to tell you in private."
"With pleasure, the Goddess of Blessings. Eve, Ella, can you please give us some private time for a moment?" Elysia nodded in understanding and gave a sign to her friends.
Evelyn and Ella simply nodded and excused themselves before going out of the room. They were sensible and understood that it was an indirect request from the Goddess of Blessings.
After there were only three of them in the room, Elena erected a layered barrier. She gave the little Goddess a hand gesture. "Go ahead, I'll just wait on that sofa."
Nell drew closer to Elysia and landed on the table. "Erm, Elysia, can you go with your master and me to Fairy Continent? We want to help the Goddess of Life from her predicament."
"I've heard a little information from my master, and I don't mind it, but what kind of predicament? May I know about it?" Elysia made a steeple of her fingers. Now was the time for her to ask Nell directly.
"Ah-uh, to be honest, I don't really know either. The Goddess of Life doesn't let me get close, and I can't communicate with her at all. However, I know the Goddess of Life is in a difficult situation. We'll find out there together, with your master. We need her help, and we need to help her too." Nell avoided eye contact with Elysia. She felt a little awkward because she had minimal information in that regard.
"Hmm..." Elysia glanced up slightly as if she was thinking, but it made Nell nervous.
If Elysia decided not to come along, it would be useless because the Goddess of Light wouldn't come either. Nell's plan to help her big sister could fail just because of this young girl's decision.
Elysia gave Elena a quick glance, but the latter just left the decision to her. "Okay, we're not there to fight, are we?"
Seeing the green light sign, Nell nodded her head repeatedly as if afraid that Elysia would change her mind. "Yes, yes, we are there to meet the Goddess of Life and help her. She is the third strongest divine being and also my sworn big sister. We will be greatly helped by her around."
"Last night the Evil God and now the Goddess of Life. I now think that you intend to get the Gods and Goddesses to work together. After getting the Goddess of Life support, do you plan to make the deals with the Evil God and the other Gods?" Elysia made her point between the lines.
"Well, that is the good plan. We need to work together to eradicate the remaining accursed monsters in this world. Apart from that, we also need to reconcile the hostility between races for the common good. There are causes and effects. There must be a mastermind behind it all, and we must look to the roots." Nell glanced at Elena for a moment while giving her answer to Elysia.
"I see. I got the point. We wish your big sister the best, Nell. Please tell my master and me about your plan later. You also still have to enlighten the Human Emperors and the authorities in the top-level meeting later." Elysia leaned her head against her arm to look at Nell in line.
"That's for sure, our Human Race also needs to be prepared with a revelation from me directly. I will also make excuses for you to your friends and the academy." Nell was eager to jump with joy.
As expected, it was easy to persuade the kindhearted girl, unlike the oppressive Goddess who asked many details.
"I really appreciate that, Nell. When are we leaving?" Elysia smiled with an approving nod.
Nell thought for a few seconds and declared. "The sooner, the better. If possible, we'll go after the top-level meeting."
"Apologize, but tomorrow morning is the academy's re-examination test for all the students. Can we go after that? It would seem rude to miss the event that has been announced to all the students." Hearing that the time was so sudden, Elysia suggested another schedule.
"Oh, okay. It doesn't matter to me." Nell nodded happily and gave Elena a victory sign.
Elysia looked at the clock for a moment and went back to working with the documents. "Very well, please let me take care of these five documents. After that, we will go to the Imperial Palace."
To be honest, Elysia already had plans to delegate tasks like this to Ayla. Ayla was a capable manager and could be trusted because Ayla was under the Holy Church's rule.
It would be tiring if Lavely Pizza opened many branches. Yet, all the essential paperwork and the like had to be handled by her, Evelyn, and Ella alone.
They had only been open for business for a month, but the support and proposals they got was overwhelming. It even reached dozens of requests and submissions from potential partners for branch openings in other cities.
"Okay!" Nell gave an 'OK' hand gesture and flew away towards Elena.
Meanwhile, Ella and Evelyn sat in the living room with the others. They joined in listening to the old wizard's tale of breakthroughs in magic.
A few minutes later, Elysia walked out of the workroom with the two Goddesses. Elysia was clad in a formal white dress with a beautiful purple pattern. Whereas the Two Goddesses were wearing their golden-white divine dresses with a holy and glorious golden sheen.
"We're going to the Imperial Palace in a moment, and you haven't changed to formal attire yet? Hum-hm, then please change your dress, and we'll go." Elysia greeted a few people who were absent-minded when they looked her way, to the Goddesses especially.
"Ah, okay, we're leaving early."
"Yes, please wait for us a moment."
Ella and Evelyn immediately stepped out of their daze and rushed to their room. They thought there were three Goddesses there.
At the same time, Rosie glanced at the dress she was wearing. It seemed it was still not suitable for a top-level meeting attended by Emperors and many high-level authorities.
"Fran, you also need to change into a formal suit. I'll change my dress first. Please wait a moment." Rosie immediately excused herself and went to the guest room.
As for Fran, he could only go to the toilet to change his clothes. Meanwhile, Ariel and Maximilian decided to stick to what they were wearing.
As Elysia sat on the sofa, Vanessa climbed onto her lap.
"Oh my, who's the good girl?" Elysia stroked the white cat lying on her lap.
"Meow." Vanessa confessed proudly to her good behavior.
"Ho-ho, after thinking a few times, I feel amazed by this Spirit Beast. Small but strong and also spoiled." Maximilian stroked his beard while looking at the cat.
"Is that so? If I may know, what kind of behavior does the contracted beast normally do? Isn't that natural to be like my Vann?" Elysia glanced at the old wizard, feeling attracted by a sage's viewpoint.
"Well, they usually just act like servants, not adorable pets. Contracted beasts come to advantage, after all. They decided to bond with superior individuals to increase their talents and chances of reaching higher ranks." Maximilian didn't need to think twice for an answer.
Vanessa trembled a little at that. She was spoiled with love and warmth to the point that she forgot about her responsibilities and obligations.
However, her master's warm hands immediately covered her ears. She looked at her master only to see her master's warm smile.
"My Vann is a special contracted beast. She is a Spirit Beast who can transform from a ferocious winged tiger to an adorable ragdoll cat. If I want to pamper her, then she will be spoiled. Vann is my companion. I don't need a servant." Elysia refuted Maximilian's statement. The other could do whatever they wanted, and it had nothing to do with her.
"Winged tiger? Hmm, I thought you were an adorable cat that has surprisingly reached Spirit level. Wait, as far as I know, the winged tiger is an aristocratic clan in the Beast Continent. How can an upper-class clan like you be willing to become a contracted beast?" Nell landed on Elysia's shoulder. She looked at the blue eyes white cat with some thoughts.
While Vanessa was touched because of her master's comforting words, she became tense again because of the Goddess of Blessings' remark.
"Never mind, everyone has their own path. You are lucky to be Elysia's contracted beast. Ah, it reminded me of two brown winged tigers in a forest like a cat's paw two weeks ago. Do you have any relationship with them, Vanessa?" Nell shook her head and changed the subject matter.
