Cheat Awakening

Chapter 247: Chapter 247. Fenrir's Request and Warning

"The World Tree is what made demons exist in this world..."

"What?! How can the World Tree be the reason for demons existing in our world? Are you saying that demons aren't natural beings of our world like everyone else?" Myne asked with a shocked expression.

"Well, although it is not a hundred percent true as you might be thinking, yup, overall, demons are indeed trouble created by the World Tree. Without it, there would be no demons in our world. But we also can't dare to do anything to the World Tree to deal with demons, as it is also our life source.

That's why if someone tries to bring harm to the World Tree, it means that we Divine Beasts have to make a special trip to solve the trouble. Most of the time, it ends very brutally, with thousands upon thousands of people and animals losing their lives. The Elf Kingdom incident is a proper example of the meaning of Divine Beasts making their appearance for official matters."

"At that time, Ymir was the only one available near the Elf Kingdom, so you already know the result. If it were Jormungandr or me who went instead, something like the Elf Kingdom being destroyed wouldn't have happened. Just throw some lightning strikes or meteorite shower on the human army, and they would have all run away with their tails between their legs."

Amy's kingdom was just too unlucky, but it was also their own fault, living in the dream that the world is full of sunshine while holding the world's greatest treasure. What else did they expect? That there wouldn't be any greedy people out there who would attack them, and they could live happily just because they were secluded from the rest of the world? Elves were too naive.

Let's not talk about anything else, but for God's sake, they had been running a kingdom for the longest period of time of any present race on this world, yet they didn't even have a single defensive measure when Hume attacked them. Let's forget about their ancient magic; what about their army? Myne thought with disdain; not a single bit of pity did he have for the Elves.

"Myne, listen now. The World Tree-Yggdrasil- is something you must absolutely protect at all costs if you want to live a long and happy life. You better tell your King who is now your relative, not to have any thoughts about it; otherwise, someday he might also follow the same path as that foolish king," Fenrir seriously reminded Myne.

"I understand. I will talk about it to my cheap father-in-law. By the way, how many people know about it? Or is it just Hume who are ignorant and brainlessly fooling around, creating trouble wherever they go?"

"Actually, other than high elves and all Divine Beasts, no one else knows about it. To begin with, you're the first one to tie a bond with us Divine Beasts, so before this, we never had a chance to tell someone. As you already know, Elves are very isolated beings who rarely communicate with others.

If that elf girl had not come to your place, then we would never have had this conversation to begin with. Unless you had nothing better to do, going to the elf kingdom for vacation, maybe I would have told you all this information," Fenrir said calmly. After a moment of silence, Myne heard her playful voice again.

"Let me tell you a secret. At the moment, one Divine Beast is currently residing in the World Tree to protect it, as there are no elves to do so. Just like me, with their children. I've already told them that you're coming over. As my best friend, remember not to do something embarrassing and ruin my name. I don't want to be mocked by them in the next meeting.

Last time, Waffle almost made me fun when I took him to meet them last time. Sigh, children, such a pain in the ass."

"Wait, wait. Are you saying that a Divine Beast is residing in the World Tree with its family? Then if Waffle hadn't told you about my trip, wouldn't that Divine Beast attack me when I got close to the World Tree?" Myne asked fearfully he felt goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he were hit by the full-power attack of a Divine Beast.

Could his Regeneration skill still be able to save him?"

"Sigh, Humes... You're so paranoid. What did you guys take us Divine Beasts as? Do we look like mindless beasts to you? Let me ask you a question: Are you going there to cut down the World Tree?"

"No..."

"Then tell me, would you attack an ant walking on the road, with nothing to do with you, and just doing its own work?"

"No..."

"Then why the hell would a Divine Beast attack an ant like you? You're not the only person roaming in the Destroy Elf Kingdom. There are many people of different races already living there. Unless you try to harm the World Tree, no Divine Beast, except me, has time to care about a nobody like you," Fenrir replied angrily, breathing heavily.

She really wanted to give Myne a good beating, but unfortunately, she was too far from him.

Asking such a stupid question, sometimes I wonder whether Myne understands me at all or is just pretending to be a friend, Fenrir thought while shaking her head.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry. I completely forgot about it. Seems like I was thinking too much," Myne quickly apologized upon hearing Fenrir's angry voice. He didn't want to take the chance of making things difficult for himself. As the old saying goes, "An angry woman is the most dangerous woman."

"Sigh, I forgive you this time, but don't you dare ask such a brainless question again. Also, I have a mission for you. Complete it, and I'll give you a nice reward."

"What kind of mission? Just tell me, I'll definitely accomplish it. Also, if you tell me about the reward in advance, maybe my performance can improve too," Myne's ears lit up upon hearing that Fenrir needed his help.

"Well, it's nothing difficult. Can you take that elf girl living in your house to her hometown? Ymir said he feels guilty that he accidentally killed almost all the elves, so he wants to meet her and apologize for his actions."

"A Divine Beast wants to apologize face to face to Amy because he feels guilty for killing too many of her people? Is there really such a good thing? Didn't you just tell me that for Divine Beasts, everyone in this world is like ants? When did you guys start caring about killing too many ants?" Myne, instead of being surprised, felt suspicious and quickly asked with doubt.

If I destroyed an ant colony because they were destroying my garden, would I apologize to the remaining ants? The answer is, of course, no. Why the hell do I care about the life and death of ants? Myne thought with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Hehe, Uncle Ymir was thoroughly scolded by Mother because of that incident. That's why he's showing so much sincerity now. Otherwise, every time he moves, thousands of people die under his foot. If he really starts feeling sorry and asking for apologies, then he might spend the rest of his life apologizing to everyone, wafu..."

"Huh? Waffle, when did you connect with us? Have you been listening to our conversation the entire time?" Myne asked with a frown upon suddenly hearing Waffle's childish voice.

"No, I just joined your link," Waffle causally replied. "Aisha is preparing lunch, so she told me to ask you if you are hungry and want to eat lunch with us or not. She didn't want to waste food."

"Sigh, you guys can eat alone. I am a little busy; I will meet you at dinner," Myne replied, shaking his head. He began pondering about Amy's matter while Waffle and Fenrir chatted about useless things.

Letting Amy meet Divine Beast Ymir shouldn't be an easy task. Aisha mentioned that when she hit Waffle casually, Amy was trembling in fear, saying, 'What if he gets angry and kills us all?' She is definitely still scared from that incident, and anything related to the Divine Beast left a deep shadow in her heart. If I suddenly bring her in front of Ymir, will she have a heart attack out of fear?

This should be possible.

"I've got a feeling that Amy might be too scared to face Lord Ymir after what he did last time. Even now, if she suddenly saw Waffle, she'd get scared. I don't think it's a good idea to let them meet up. Why don't he just write an apology letter I can give to Amy?" Myne asked, patting himself, thinking of a wonderful idea.

"This is not going to work. Ymir doesn't know how to write, and if he really did, with his size, you might not be able to lift its corner, let alone giving it to someone. Forget it, when you reach your destination, stop at my place first. I'll follow you. Since she's already getting used to Waffle, then she won't mind meeting me, right? And with me around, everything will be alright.

You can rest assured," Fenrir replied confidently.

But Myne still had doubts about it.

If Amy really meets so many Divine Beasts, including those guys living in the World Tree, will her little heart be able to bear it? I don't want to lose my future wife, and there are not many elves left. Who knows after losing Amy, is it even possible to find another kind-hearted, beautiful elf?

"I understand. I will try to make everything clear to her before replying to you again. But please, if she refuses, don't force her. Also, what exactly is interesting about the World Tree that you want to tell me?"

"Ah, right. Sorry for getting sidetracked. For your first question, Ymir wanted to ask for apologies, not threatening her to get anything. If she refuses, then let it be. No one is forcing her; we don't have so much free time anyway. As for what's interesting about the World Tree, because the world is the source of magic energy, the density of magic there is amazing.

And in a place with such a high density of magic, the demons would be plenty and also different kinds of magic-loving creatures. So I was saying that you can take their unusual, tricky, and weird skills. Those skills will definitely surprise you, but be careful not to fall for their tricks and lose your lives."

"Really!? What kinds of skills? Like my teleportation skill, or more amazing than it?" Myne asked excitedly.

"Find out yourself, and..."

"And what?" Hearing hesitation in Fenrir's voice, Myne asked with a frown, suddenly having a bad feeling. Fenrir had never behaved like that before.

"Nothing, I just remembered something. You are traveling in the carriage, right? If possible, don't travel at night. And if you find any suspicious signs, immediately turn around and run away as fast as possible. Don't try to be a curious cat. I heard that the direction in which you are going is not safe.

Many weird things happen during the night after demons start their crazy invasion. So be careful, and if you can't solve anything, just call me. I will come to help immediately," Fenrir's concerned voice sounded in Myne's mind, warming his heart.

"Okay, don't talk like my late mother. I can take care of myself, and you know me very well. I am someone who cares more about my life than anything else, so of course, I won't do anything stupid just for the sake of my curiosity."

After getting assurance from Myne, Fenrir breathed a sigh of relief. After giving some small instructions, she finally said goodbye and cut off the link.

I hope this journey goes without any surprises. I didn't want to be those side characters who always die for no reason just to introduce a villain or unknown incident. F*ck, better not to jinx myself. The more you don't want something to happen, that thing definitely happens. Better I take a small nap to refresh my mind."

Muttering such, Myne pushed his little brother deep inside the sleeping Velvet before hugging him and burying his head inside her big boobies, closing his eyes.

Outside, the carriage was running at a fast speed toward the elf kingdom in the middle of the eerily silent forest.

The old man Kane and his grandson Tailar were laughing and talking about various things to pass the time carelessly, completely unaware of the upcoming danger.
