Aister continued to speak while flipping through the "Natural Holy Scripture".
"There must be so kind of misunderstanding here!"
She seed determined as she clenched her fist.
Looking at the girl with a resolute expression, Cyber was sowhat surprised:
"Does your mother know Lord Aurora well? What else did she say?"
"My mother used to be the High Priest of the temple; she was a powerful Upper Gold practitioner!"
Aister said proudly.
This ti, Cyber was truly surprised:
"Upper Gold? Then how did she end up with your father?"
After saying this, he realized that what he said was rather inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized:
"Sorry... I didn’t an anything by it, it’s just that I rember Mr. Dore only had Silver Upper strength, so I was a bit shocked by the pairing of Upper Gold and Silver..."
"Sorry, Aister, I shouldn’t have brought up this topic."
Cyber said sowhat regretfully.
The girl had just lost her father, and ntioning him now was like rubbing salt into a wound; he regretted it the mont he spoke.
However, Aister’s expression remained calm.
She shook her head slightly, and said sowhat sadly:
"Mr. Cyber, you don’t need to worry, I’m not sad anymore. I cried and I’ve moved on."
"Everyone will die; it’s our fate. I’ve long accepted this, and one day it will happen to too."
"My father’s soul being purified, instead of plumting into the abyss like those Fallen out in the wild, is already the most comforting outco for him."
"So... instead of dwelling on the past, it’s better to look forward!"
Looking at the girl with a determined expression, Cyber was quite moved:
"You are really strong."
"Of course, I am inherently a strong Frost Elf! Being strong and optimistic is our greatest trait!"
Aister straightened her back and said proudly.
Then she continued:
"As for why my father was with my mother, it’s just that the temple happened to pair them together."
"Pairing?"
Cyber was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, the tribe nearly has mbers returning to the embrace of the Mother Goddess every day, so to maintain the population, the temple implented a pairing system thousands of years ago. Every adult elf is assigned a spouse to bear offspring."
"Pairing is chosen through Divine Arts, and to reduce contamination for the offspring, the most suitable candidates are generally paired together, so strength is not as emphasized."
"I will go through the sa; perhaps in five years, I will also participate in the pairing."
The girl said.
"Five years?"
Cyber hesitated.
He instinctively looked at Aister, this Elf Girl who appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old by human standards, feeling a bit astonished.
An elf’s developnt period is roughly ten tis that of a human’s.
Five years’ ti would likely not change this girl’s apparent age much.
For elves, she is still considered a child!
And she plans to be paired and have offspring?!
Wait, sothing’s not right.
She just ntioned that they only get paired after reaching adulthood...
Cyber was puzzled, and he asked:
"Aister... how old are you this year?"
"I will turn twenty next year."
The girl replied.
"Twenty?!"
This ti, Cyber was genuinely shocked.
He thought he would hear an answer in the hundreds...
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Aister asked in confusion.
It’s a big problem!
Even though this age would still be considered slow by human standards, you’re an elf!
Did you use a growth accelerator?!
Cyber mused in his heart.
Wait...
A growth accelerator?
Cyber’s mind was triggered, and as the doors of his mory opened, he suddenly recalled a post he had seen on the official website.
It was an entertaining post by so Druid casual players.
After the Demon God instance opened, they caught so demons to use as fertilizer for crops, intending to experint with what kind of strange things would grow.
In the end, the crops turned into abyssal species and grew at a speed far exceeding normal crops, nearly contaminating that plot in the Elf Forest...
Could it be... eating demon at simultaneously accelerates the body’s growth along the path to corruption?
Cyber thought to himself.
He looked again at the girl, his gaze becoming more complex.
Thousands of years...
Suddenly, he couldn’t imagine how the Frost Tribe managed over these millennia.
Aister didn’t notice Cyber’s complex expression.
While flipping through the "Natural Holy Scripture," she said firmly:
"In the future, I definitely want to beco soone like my mother, to protect the people and purify the darkness."
"It’s too hard for Lord Aurora to persevere alone..."
"My mother said that to revive the Mother Goddess, to maintain the purity of her divine power, She never actively rged with the faith collected by the temple, and instead silently used her power to maintain the Divine Arts’ protective barrier..."
"If I could beco the Holy Daughter of the Mother Goddess, I could control the power of faith and help Lord Aurora with her burden..."
"However, the Mother Goddess has been asleep for so long, it has been ages since a Chosen Daughter capable of wielding the Mother Goddess’ faith has been born..."
Aister said regretfully.
Power of faith?
Chosen Daughter?
Cyber was slightly taken aback.
In an instant, it was as if a light flashed in his mind...
He suddenly turned around, grabbed the girl’s shoulders, and asked sowhat excitedly:
"Aister... could you say what you just said again?!"
Aister was startled.
She glanced at Cyber and suddenly realized sothing, apologetically saying:
"No... Mr. Cyber, I don’t an to imply that I don’t believe you..."
"No! I’m talking about sothing else! Holy Daughter? Chosen Daughter? Controlling the Mother Goddess’ power of faith? What about the Chosen Son?!"
Cyber asked excitedly.
"The Chosen Son... of course, it would be the Saint Heir..."
Aister said blankly.
