Chapter 531 Do Gods Also Need Guardians?
Catherine had an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Are you talking about... Zora?" She confirmed carefully. Because she learned about the old grudge between humans and elves in Blackstone, Catherine had always tried her best to avoid mentioning this human king in front of Jichel, so as to prevent her from remembering the old hatred between the two races and affecting their cooperation. But she never expected that it was Jichel who mentioned it first.
"Am I bad at speaking the common language?" Giselle was still indifferent, not in the mood to repeat herself.
Giselle had once been an employee of Gloria. Catherine secretly calculated the time and made a bold guess, "Have you... seen Zora at Gloria before?"
"Golatia Academy was only established in the late stages of the Holy War. I met Zora much earlier than that."
They actually were old acquaintances—Catherine held her breath. This feeling was truly wonderful. "That... Human King, what kind of person is she?"
"Very good man." Giselle had almost no time to think.
Such a comment surprised Catherine. "I thought... the elves wouldn't like her."
"I won't deny her lifelong achievements just because of that lady's momentary misjudgment." Giselle stood straight with her legs together, her attitude extremely solemn. "You have the most outstanding role models before you, so why do you always look so lost? You don't act like her descendant at all."
Giselle never seemed to mince words, and spoke with the sternness typical of a teacher, so blunt that it made Catherine feel ashamed. She was too embarrassed to sit there any longer, so she stood up and clasped her hands together to listen to his teachings.
"Yes, teacher, I understand." Giselle's words were like a wake-up call, waking Catherine up from her emotional whirlpool.
"Don't call me teacher." Giselle still spoke in a harsh tone and did not respond to Catherine's address. She said that and turned away.
"You!" Catherine boldly chased down the stairs. "Are you going to Bishop Palace because of Zora?"
Giselle strode forward without looking back.
"Is the person you are looking for also related to Zora?" Catherine continued to ask, because she found that although Giselle's attitude was cold, arrogant, and unsympathetic, she still maintained the excellent qualities of a teacher and answered almost every question.
Giselle indeed stopped, as if she was thinking about how to respond.
"Yes." The lord had been a close friend of the Mother Goddess, so she wanted to see if she could find any missing clues from Zora. Perhaps her palace or study would be a good choice.
"Who?"
"My lord."
"Elf King?"
"Ha!" Gichel glanced at Catherine. The Gaia Empire knew nothing about the elven world. "Even Elrohir wouldn't dare say that."
Wrong guess—Katherine frowned. If even Elrohir, the Elven King, was unworthy of the Night Elves calling him master, then only...
"Does God also need a guardian?" Catherine asked suddenly.
Giselle was stunned for a moment, surprised by Catherine's sharpness, and because of her words, long-lost memories surfaced before her.
"She wasn't that powerful at the beginning." When Catherine felt that Giselle would not answer again, she finally broke the silence.
“…even, very weak.”
At first, she knew nothing and was afraid of insects, snakes, and toads. She would feel tired after walking a few steps in the woods... Giselle and the tribesmen would worry about her death as soon as they opened their eyes every day, so they had to be by her side all the time.
Later, she found Zora, a human born of slavery who displayed boundless potential. Together, they formed an alliance and journeyed eastward. During this journey, she rapidly grew, gradually displaying abilities only possessed by gods, flourishing like their sacred tree...
But she was always so humble.
"--I was just talking. It's all thanks to Zora. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be who I am now." The man hung upside down between the trees and ate wild fruits. His soft long hair hung down and swayed in the wind.
"I understand. You said that it was Lady Zora who made your path to godhood possible." The scene in her memory flashed back in the female elf's mind.
"Of course, you're all important too. You've all worked so hard! But Giselle, I'm pretty good now. You can rest now and live the life you love. Let me think... Goletia Academy is short on staff. Perhaps becoming a teacher would be a good option?"
………………
"I must have committed murder and arson in my previous life, that's why I want to be a teacher in this life!!"
"You're so stupid! What kind of posture is this? My grandpa can stand steadier than you. Do you think you're still a freshman?!"
"Crying? Why? Did you forget to bring your bottle?!"
In the classroom, Wolfe's roar almost covered the entire training ground. Lilith subconsciously wanted to take a look at which unlucky guy the teacher was firing at, but she didn't expect that the opponent in front of her suddenly attacked and seized the opportunity to attack with a sword.
"Clang!"
Lilith's sword slipped out of her hand.
"........."
“…Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!” Lucas actually beat Lilith in the drill. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into arrogant laughter!
"I won?! I beat Lilith!! Teacher Wolf, did you see that?" Lucas was so excited that he ran half a lap around the training ground. He didn't run back until he got near Teacher Wolf and was kicked. He was so excited that he ran back.
"Ahem! Don't be sad Lilith, you just recovered from an illness after all, it's normal for you to lose." He pretended to be humble, but in fact his mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and his face was even more proud. It was conceivable that this news would be spread to everyone during lunch.
"Haha." Lilith smiled wryly, "Why are you so proud? I'm just not using the sword well."
High Court was sealed off, and she was forbidden to leave the school by Professor Colin. Many days had passed since the trial by combat, but her sword was still in Angel's hand. Now she could only make do with her training sword. She didn't feel anything when she used it at first, but after she got used to cold steel, she felt it was heavy and awkward to use. It was indeed difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Then I looked at Lucas who was showing off in front of me. Wow, it was really dazzling.
"Use mine." Ian came over and handed his sword to Lilith, exchanging swords with her.
Even after changing her sword, Lilith remained sullen and listless. She lowered her head and fiddled with the ornament on Ian's sword, her face absent-minded. Ian glanced at Lucas, who had gone off to tell his classmates about the loudspeaker, sighed helplessly, and turned to ask—
"Why don't you look unhappy, Lilith? Aren't all the problems solved?" Angel's problem was solved, and Lyriel's life was safe. He would be setting off back to the Elf Forest soon. This trouble was finally over, and he could breathe a sigh of relief. According to Lilith's usual character, she would have been happily preparing for a dinner party at this time.
"Yeah, it's all resolved..." Lilith also sighed, "Other people's problems have been resolved, but..."
"Our baby Leila hasn't come back yet!"
