Chapter 342 Why are you crying?
"I thought you had figured it out, but you're still working as a tinker for those humans?"
Godmother Yvonne felt bored upon hearing this, and leaned back in her chair, picking up her tea. She was like a bottle of red wine, mellow and elegant.
"Hehehe, you look less and less like a witch, Cynthia."
With a "bang", a seductive man with long hair appeared at the long table where several people were sitting, and Lilith was startled.
"It's okay, it's just a familiar." Catherine explained to her in a low voice, but she didn't expect there would be such a familiar.
"Those humans are so good at reproducing that they have not become extinct despite all the disasters they have experienced. Why do you always worry about them? Haven't you witches suffered enough for your poor intentions?"
Godmother Yvonne's familiar is a real night demon. They were each other's companions when they were young, and he made a contract with Yvonne when she awakened as a witch. At this time, the night demon smiled and revealed its sharp teeth. The thin tail behind it swung in front of Lilith, making her eyes shake.
"...Your clan also participated in the holy war in the past." Cynthia frowned and looked at the male night demon's pointed tail.
"That's right, Cynthia!"
Night Demon clapped his hands with a wicked smile.
"We, Night Demons, were among the heroes of that year, but do you know their names? Any of them?"
Cynthia was speechless.
"--No one knows, they were all wiped out by those damn humans. Since they like to enjoy the glory alone, they must face new challenges alone now. This is what those guys deserve." The Night Devil lowered his head and began to trim his sharp nails.
"Don't think his words are harsh, Cynthia."
Godmother Yvonne didn't care about the rudeness of the familiar, but instead poured cold water on Cynthia.
"I don't think you will gain anything from this trip. Everyone knows that elves and humans have been at odds with each other for many years. If you knew that your old enemy is in trouble now, would you help or laugh at him loudly?"
Cynthia's expression dimmed for a moment, but only for a moment. She straightened her chest again and said, "No matter what, I will try to convince them."
"Oh, she wants to be a hero! Just like those people back then!" The Night Devil on the table disappeared with a bang, and appeared above Cynthia's head the next second, hanging upside down and looking at her with a giggle.
"Don't be silly, Cynthia. Back then, our tribes united to resist foreign enemies, but in the end, only the Bishop family is still praised to this day. Of course, when you die, I will always remember your name on my behalf."
A sudden strong wind blew up in the room, and the whirlwind suddenly swept up the light-bodied night demon and flew it away from Cynthia's head.
“Oh my, oh my—”
The Night Demon stabilized his body in mid-air, landed back on the table, and looked at Catherine with a cold face.
"Your daughter looks a bit like you when you were a child. She's so cute!"
That's how a witch should be, laughing when happy and getting angry when angry. How could she be like Cynthia now, having so many reservations?
"Stay here, little cutie, I can teach you a lot of other things." The Night Devil winked at the grumpy Catherine.
"I am one of the Bishops you mentioned." Catherine said lightly.
"Eh!" The Night Demon was originally very difficult to deal with, but was disgusted by Catherine's words and disappeared on the spot with a "bang".
"If I had never been to Goletia, and had never been to the East Coast, perhaps I would be able to watch from the sidelines like you guys..."
Cynthia bit her lip, but she saw with her own eyes how much effort those children and soldiers put in to defend their hometown behind them, and how many void beasts were eyeing them in the sea. No one knew, she only knew that if she relaxed, those people might die.
"Yvonne, I know that because we witches have always been closer to humans, we have become increasingly alienated from the elves over the years until we no longer have any contact with them...
But I know that as a former ally, there was actually a teleportation array in the West Highlands that was connected to the Pathless Forest. I don’t have much time, please…”
“Cynthia—” Yvonne still frowned.
"This time I brought an elf, a royal elf!" She pulled Kanien, who was dozing off beside her, over, and Yvonne looked over there.
"I found the lost royal elves for them. This time I will definitely be able to successfully enter the Elf Forest!" Cynthia's eyes sparkled.
Yifang frowned and looked at Cynthia for a long time.
"I have to say——"
Yvonne put down her teacup.
"Your ability to act like a spoiled child is far worse than when you were a child." She wrapped herself tightly in the thick floral blanket, stood up, walked to the door and looked back.
"But I always fall for your tricks."
Cynthia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Let's go. Don't you have much time?" Yifang walked out without stopping, and the others hurriedly followed.
"Do all witches have familiars? What about yours?" Lilith followed Catherine in small steps and asked curiously.
Catherine glanced at her, and the next second a ginger kitten fell from the sky and landed directly on Lilith's face, and she caught it with her quick eyes and hands.
"Wow! You have a cat!"
Lilith held the kitten and screamed in surprise, her eyes full of envy.
"But, I thought you would definitely have a black cat!" Lilith held the kitten in her arms, ready to pet it to her heart's content. "A black cat seems to be more in line with your temperament, Princess."
"Meow!" I don't know if these words hurt the kitten's feelings, but the next second she disappeared from Lilith's arms, reappeared at Catherine's feet, and ignored her.
"Eh? Why is this happening?!"
Lilith circled around Catherine, playing a game of chase with the kitten until they came to a garden that looked abandoned for a long time.
It was obvious at first glance that this place was not the style of witches, it was extremely complicated and gorgeous. The wind in the West Highlands was very strong, corroding all the stones used for landscaping in the courtyard, leaving behind small holes like honeycombs, which broke into pieces with Lilith's hands.
Time is so cruel, Lilith let go and scattered the stone powder.
"Don't have too high expectations, Cynthia." Yifang cleaned the thick moss on the teleportation array and poured cold water on Cynthia for the last time.
"You haven't been there either, ma'am? The Pathless Forest doesn't sound easy to get to. How can we find the elves' residence?"
Lilith couldn't help but ask. Although she did follow him out on impulse, she didn't want to spend a few months here.
"Don't worry, sweetheart." The teleportation array under Yifang's feet lit up.
"No one will get lost in the Pathless Forest. You will always find your way."
The light grew brighter and brighter, Cynthia motioned for the girls to step forward, pulled up Canion and stepped forward first, disappearing into the light.
The scene before Lilith changed again.
With fresh green all around, they found themselves in a huge forest.
As for what Ms. Yvonne had said about why they wouldn't get lost, she now understood.
Lilith looked up into the sky, her breathing uncontrollably becoming faster and faster, her heart beating wildly at the magnificent sight before her.
Trees, very big trees.
There was a canopy stretched out by a giant tree that almost covered half of the sky. It emitted a faint golden glow, making the sun beside it look small and dim.
"what is that?"
Lilith clenched her chest. She used to think that dragons were huge enough, but compared to this tree, dragons seemed nothing.
How could there be such a thing in the world? The lying giantess in the West Highlands was actually covering such a thing!
"This is the foundation of this world. All legends since ancient times are woven around its fate, and it remains so today."
"This is the World Tree, some also call it the Tree of Life, Lilith."
Cynthia finished her story in a low voice, then turned around with a look of surprise.
"Honey, why are you crying?"
"I..." Lilith wiped away the hot tears in a daze.
"I do not know."
