Su Xi didn't even listen, and immediately transformed into Ilena and flew away.
It's too distorted.
In my previous life, my contact with the cult was limited to exchanges during missions. After all, back then, there were powerful figures everywhere, and reputation was extremely difficult to cultivate, making it hard to come into contact with NPCs at that level.
Su Xi was able to come into contact with Miriam in this lifetime thanks to her identity Elf Saintess; otherwise, she would never have been able to discover the truth about the [Divine Brilliance Crystal].
Moreover, her identity Elf Saintess indirectly protected her.
Otherwise, the Church of God would have found Su Xi sooner or later based on the information Sister Allison gave her. If Su Xi didn't have the identity of the Elf Saintess, she would probably have been kidnapped on the spot and turned into a power bank that only knew how to lay eggs all day long.
"It's supposed to be a religion that represents 'hope,' yet it has given rise to such a twisted 'savior mentality.' I wonder if Yuan Yi is aware of this," Ilena sighed.
Everything is fine now, as long as you don't tell me that the Elf race also has some hidden play.
With mixed feelings, Ilena flew towards the Falas Port.
When Ilena returned to the Holy Tree via the teleportation array, she found a petite figure with long, thin golden hair, wearing a floral wreath, a sheer white dress, and translucent white stockings peeking out from under the dress, and exquisite boots made by elves on her feet.
Seeing the pointed ears protruding from the other's hair, Ilena was certain it was an elf.
Of course, that's obvious.
After all, apart from elves, it is almost impossible for other races to ascend the Holy Tree.
I heard Ilena walking.
The petite figure turned around.
Her white chiffon dress was embroidered with beautiful yet serene flowers. When she turned around, the hem of her dress resembled a lily blooming under the bright sun, full of freshness and fragrance. A white chiffon shawl with green silk trim perfectly covered her bare shoulders, and her two delicate white hands were politely folded in front of her, making her look very well-behaved.
Just as Ilena had thought.
Seeing the other person's emerald green eyes, Ilena suddenly felt as if she were facing a turquoise lake, serene and far-reaching.
Are you Her Highness the Holy Maiden?
The other person's voice was very pleasant; it wasn't as childish or mature as I had imagined, but rather a calm yet lively girlish voice.
"Yes, that's me. And who are you?"
Ilena walked over, puzzled.
The NPC with such beauty must be the originally designated Elf Saintess, who is also the Elf race princess: [Beatrix Andomir].
Ilena wondered, what was the princess doing here all of a sudden?
Although the system indicated that Princess Beatrix had 11 points of favorability towards her, this was the first time Princess Beatrix had come to see her since she became a saintess, so this amount of favorability probably wouldn't have much of an effect.
"Hello, Holy Maiden of the Elf race [Su], I am Princess of the Elf race [Beatrix Andomir], it is a pleasure to meet you."
The other person very politely lifted her skirt and bowed to Ilena.
Ilena nodded and then canceled her avatar.
The field of vision becomes lower.
Their height became similar.
Su Xi asked, "I wonder what brings the princess to see me?"
In principle, the Holy Maiden of the Elf race holds a higher political status than the Elf race Empress, as she is the direct representative of the Holy Tree. However, Su Xi is not a legitimate Elf race, so her current position is somewhat delicate.
It's a bit like a spiritual leader, but without any real power.
Princess Beatrix's calm eyes lit up slightly when she saw the Holy Maiden's true form, and she smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, won't you invite me in for a chat?"
Su Xi opened the door and let Beatrix in.
I casually poured her a cup of tea.
"I heard that Her Highness the Saintess was Descenders who became an adventurer and traveled the continent, eventually arriving in the Elven Empire. By chance, she gained the Holy Tree's recognition and became the Saintess, is that right?"
Su Xi nodded. They could find out about this by simply asking the forest; there was nothing to hide.
"In that case, Your Highness, would you like to embark on an adventure with me?"
Su Xi noticed that when Princess Beatrix spoke, the green in her eyes had become much lighter. If before it was the vibrant green of summer, now it was the light green of tender leaves sprouting in spring.
Is she happy?
The Strange Princess.
At this moment, a system notification sounded, "Ding, congratulations on triggering a rare-level quest: [Princess Beatrix's Great Adventure Plan (Part 1)], do you want to accept the quest?"
Su Xi muttered to herself, then replied, "Of course."
"Ding, the mission has been accepted."
Princess Beatrix's Grand Adventure (Part 1)
Quest Level: Rare
Mission Description: Princess Beatrix has been planning this for a long time. She has heard that the new Holy Maiden is about the same age as you, so she wants to invite you to join her grand adventure.
Quest Rewards: Princess Beatrix's favor, experience points, and rare items (chance to obtain).
Quest hint: Just as the Holy Tree is to the Elf race, you are also a very important person to her, so she won't lie to you.
A strange mission.
After reading the details of the task, Su Xi muttered to herself.
Upon hearing that Her Highness had granted her request, Princess Beatrix inwardly cheered, though outwardly she maintained the proper etiquette befitting an elven princess.
"Then let's not delay, shall we set off now?"
Su Xi could also hear the suppressed excitement in the girl's voice, and couldn't help but tilt her head in surprise.
Is it possible for the princess to be so affectionate towards me with just 11 points of favorability?
Su Xi did not resist, letting Beatrix pull her hand and run out of the Elf Holy Temple.
Nicola, was a little surprised.
When did Princess Beatrix become so close to Her Highness the Holy Maiden?
Before she could recover from her surprise, Nicola instinctively felt displeased with Princess Beatrix running in the palace, saying, "Your Highness! You can't run in the temple! As the next leader, how can you be so inappropriate?!"
However, Beatrix ignored her and ran outside.
He took a bright green leaf out of his small backpack, threw it into the air, and it swelled in the wind.
"Come on up, Your Highness, I'm free today, I can go out and have some fun!"
Princess Beatrix happily extended her hand to Su Xi.
Without hesitation, Su Xi grasped the soft hand extended before her.
Nicola, who had run out from behind, shouted angrily, "Your Highness, running inside the temple is disrespectful to the Holy Tree and a desecration of the royal family. I think Your Highness's etiquette is inadequate... Wait, where are you going?"
"Sister Nicola, Her Highness the Saintess and I are going out for a while. It's Her Highness's request~"
Standing on the broad leaves, Princess Beatrix spoke with an air of self-righteousness, then secretly blinked and gave Su Xi a pitiful look.
