Though it seed like the Elven King wasn't happy about what the High Priestess said, she didn't seem like she was bothered at all by the words of the Elven King.
Rather, she just calmly looked at the Elven King to say, "Is there sothing wrong with that? This is the oracle of Lady Vivrum."
The Elven King still had deeply knitted brows when he heard this, but he didn't threaten her like before.
The mont that Vivrum was brought up, it was as if there was sothing that stopped the Elven King from saying anything else.
That wasn't strange with the status that Vivrum had in the Elven Kingdom.
If he were to actually say anything against her, then there was no doubt that it would have been very bad for him.
But at the sa ti, there was also a trace of reverence in his eyes as well when he talked about her.
It wasn't as if the Elven King wasn't a part of the Vivrum Religion since he was a high elf as well.
Only letting humans go to the Tree of Life…
There was a long silence that followed as the Elven King didn't say anything, but that was broken when the High Priestess turned away from the Elven King to look back at .
The way that she did this was as if she didn't care about what else the Elven King had to say.
Instead, she just said to , "Will you follow to the Tree of Life?"
I didn't answer right away as I just looked at the High Priestess, trying to figure out exactly what it was that she wanted from . But it didn't seem like I was able to read anything from her expression since there was no change to her expression.
She just calmly looked at , the sa way that she had looked at the Elven King.
It was almost as if she didn't care how I would respond, even though she had co here to find .
The Elven King seed to have realized that it was pointless in trying to convince the High Priestess, so instead he turned to look at . With the way that he was looking at , he seed to be trying to convey sothing.
I didn't need any words to know what it was that he wanted from .
He had already made his case clear, so now he was threatening to stop from going to the Tree of Life.
In the end, while I did want to go to the Tree of Life, I decided that it was better not to cause any trouble right now.
"How about another ti? I have an appointnt with the Elven King already, so perhaps after that?" I said in a tactful manner.
It was just that the High Priestess didn't seem like she liked this answer as she knitted her brows when she heard this.
The Elven King saw this as well, so he said, "I don't think that we should force our friend from afar into doing sothing that he doesn't wish to do. You should wait until he's ready to co with…"
Before he could finish his words, the High Priestess already made her move.
She raised her hand and there were these branches that ca out of her sleeve. Those branches continued to grow out from her hand and moved towards .
Before I could even react, the branches had completely wrapped themselves around .
This was the last thing that I expected to happen.
Once she was done wrapping up in the branches, the High Priestess lifted off the ground and turned around as if she was going to leave with .
When everyone ca back to their senses, the situation exploded.
Klein and the other royal guards went forward to stop the High Priestess, but the Elven King was faster. He moved right in front of the High Priestess and narrowed his eyes to look at her before speaking.
"What do you think you're doing? Are you really going against the…"
His words suddenly cut off as if there was sothing that happened.
With the change in his expression, it was almost as if there was soone speaking to him.
That expression remained on his face for a while before he suddenly moved out of the way.
I couldn't help raising a brow when I saw this before I stopped Klein and the others with a look towards them. They were surprised to see give them this look, but I didn't take it back as I stopped them from doing anything to the High Priestess.
Once the Elven King backed down, the High Priestess didn't waste any ti in dragging out of the manor.
She moved down the streets of the Elven Kingdom's capital, in plain view of everyone.
So everyone was watching as I was being carried by the High Priestess with her branches.
At least it didn't take that long for us to arrive at the base of the Tree of Life.
When we arrived, there were others that were dressed the sa way as the High Priestess that were waiting. With the way that they were standing there, it seed as if they had been waiting for our arrival.
Once we arrived, they imdiately led the way to the base of the Tree of Life.
Then after arriving, all of them suddenly turned to leave.
Even the High Priestess just dropped on the ground before turning to leave without a word.
A bitter smile appeared on my face when I saw this, but I waited to see what would happen.
In the end, there was a figure made of green light that appeared in front of .
Seeing this, the smile on my face beca even more bitter as I said, "I never thought that we would be eting again so soon."
"Well, there's a reason for this. There's sothing that I need your help with."
