Chapter 342 Divine Mark
It was completely different from what Alvin had imagined.
In his previous interactions with his future mother-in-law, Iris, he had always believed that this would be a god who lived a secluded life in seclusion.
This is also confirmed by the childhood memories that Xiling occasionally talks about.
But when Iris carried Alvin to their residence like a chicken, Alvin realized how wrong he was.
In the very center of the entire dark elf city, that huge place that is at least twice as thick as the other glowing stone pillars is Iris's residence.
To be precise, it is her temple.
Forced to observe the light pollution of the glowing stone pillars up close, Alvin was reluctantly pulled by Iris, through the surface of the glowing stone pillars and into the temple.
This temple has nothing to do with the dark elf style, at least it is completely different from the cyberpunk style outside.
There is a relief sculpture of a bright moon carved on the dome. Its huge size does not give people a feeling of being oppressed by the celestial body, but makes people feel happy;
Several rows of symmetrically built columns are made of white stone that resembles the ruins of the high elves in the Haze Forest;
In the very center of the temple, there is a tall statue of a goddess - an elf girl dancing towards the bright moon in the sky.
Even Alvin, a human who had no knowledge of theology, could guess that this was the younger version of Eilistraee.
Around the statue, a group of dark elf women wearing simple clothes with scant fabrics were forming a large circle, dancing seductively with their graceful figures.
Kong Er, who was standing next to him, was drooling at the sight.
Of course, Alvin is not much better.
If he had not felt that the strength of the hand holding his collar had increased a lot, he would have wanted to imitate Kong Er and carefully study this rare exotic custom.
Ivan, who was watching others dancing out of the corner of his eye, was suddenly startled by a very familiar noisy sound.
“Brother-in-law?
Wow! It's really you!
Brother-in-law, are you here to see my sister?
But sister just... Eh? Mother, why did you hit my head again..."
Just from the crisp sound of the loli's head, Alvin suddenly realized where Xiling, who was also good at this, learned this trick.
It seems that the habit of beating my sister can be inherited...
In order to free his hands to hit Lian on the head, Iris let Alvin down.
Ivan, who had been silent the whole way, straightened his collar. For the young man from Blue Star, not questioning in front of Iris's followers was the greatest face he could save for his future mother-in-law.
But now, he couldn't hold back his chatter any longer.
"Lian, what happened to your sister just now?"
……
Iris is a god who has descended to earth.
But what is very surprising is that the behavior and habits of this god are not much different from those of an elf - except that he is not as elegant and artificial as an elf.
The temple leads to the top of the earth, which is the top of the big moon, and it was actually built into a residence.
From the kitchen to the living room, from the bedroom covered with silk mattresses to the potted green plants, this is the private space that Iris has left for herself.
Ivan and Kong'er sat at the table in the living room, looking at the short half-elf who had been beaten a lot by his mother and had his chin resting on the table. His aggrieved look on his face made them want to laugh.
This half-elf who acted lawless in the druid station finally encountered a character who was even more ruthless than his own sister.
Iris did not sit with them, but was busy in the kitchen.
This surprised Kong Er very much.
In today's world, there are very few women who can cook, and the goddess who can cook...is probably the only one.
Ivan didn't care about this.
He wanted to get his answer quickly.
"Lian, where's your sister?
Where is Xiling?
Why am I not with you?"
After taking a trembling look at her mother's back and making sure that she was quite far away, Lian motioned Ivan to come closer.
“I don’t know exactly where I went…
But mother seemed to have said that this time it was so that my sister could heal the things on her face.”
"Something on the face?"
Alvin was stunned for a moment, but he immediately put the question behind him.
It doesn’t matter what’s on Xiling’s face. Her mother and sister are both good-looking, so Xiling’s appearance can’t be much worse.
“Did Elise let her go?
Did you mention what you were going to do..."
With a bang, a wooden basin filled with fruit pieces was placed heavily on the table.
Iris's figure appeared behind Lian without warning, scaring the short half-elf so much that her face turned pale.
"I went to the astral world."
The tall elf looked at Ivan expressionlessly and spoke slowly.
"To be precise, I went to the Kingdom of the Elves to look for my father.
He is the only one who can remove the divine mark."
Hearing this answer, Alvin's face froze again.
His recent journey to the astral world was not a fond memory.
"Your father?"
"Ba? What is that?"
Iris did not signal to the guests that they could enjoy the food. Instead, she took out a piece of fruit that looked like an apple from the wooden basin, put it in her mouth and started chewing it with a crunching sound.
"Ivan..."
Kong Er next to him looked very embarrassed, and his expression became even uglier than Lian's.
"Lady Iris's father is Corellon, the Lord of the Elves..."
“Oh… huh?!
Is he the one who went crazy and drove all the elves in the Gray Haze Forest crazy?"
……
Feeling the warm palm leaving her forehead, Xiling opened her eyes again and looked at the extremely young grandfather in front of her.
"Is this the end?"
The mirror-like floor of the temple reflected his exquisite face.
The half-elf felt like crying at this moment.
For her, this is undoubtedly a rebirth in a sense.
She can finally say goodbye to the life of wearing a heavy hood and hiding herself all day.
"It's over, kid..."
Corellon looked at his palm, which was wrapped with wisps of red and black divine energy.
“The divine mark, at certain times, is a blessing bestowed by the gods on their believers;
It can make you sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, or give you a physique that is immune to magic.
But if that god is on the opposite side of you, it will be an irreversible curse.
Unfortunately, the divine mark on your body comes from a not-so-friendly god;
But you are also very lucky. Eilistraee used her divine power to wrap this curse very tightly -
Oh! There are still sorcerers’ tricks on this protective shell. I thought they were all extinct…”
Xiling raised her head, her beautiful eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
When I was living in that human family, the powerful sorcerer did tell me something about reinforcement.
The half-elf really wanted to ask for some more details. She not only wanted to know the information about the divine mark, but also wanted to hear the story of her mother.
But Corellon's attention was all on his own palm.
The Elf God waved in one direction, signaling Xiling to go there first.
After the half-elf walked away with full of doubts, Corellon's ancient voice sounded in the temple.
"What kind of existence did your mother offend..."
