Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 204 Second Goddess (1)

?

We were caught off guard by this sudden outburst from the green haired elder.

When she said this, all of us couldn't help raising our guard since it sounded like…she wanted to do something to us with the way that she said this.

To my surprise though, Moon also came forward to stand in front of me along with Cecilia.

In fact, she didn't even know why she did this.

When she realized what had happened, she found that she was already standing in front of him.

Seeing this, the green haired elder revealed an awkward look before saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I was just too surprised that I couldn't help letting that outburst slip."

I immediately knitted my brows and revealed a confused look when I heard this, but I could see that the green haired elder was sincere about this.

So I raised my hands and patted both Cecilia and Moon's shoulders at the same time.

Moon immediately lowered her guard since the other side was the elven elders of her village, there was no reason for her to do this in the beginning. But she had somehow been unable to stop her body from moving.

Cecilia had a more conservative stance, but she still lowered her guard when I mouthed to her, "Trust me."

After the two of them calmed down, the green haired elder let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at Moon with a complicated look before turning back to say with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry for startling you like that. It was just that I had received a sudden message from our goddess about you that caught me off guard."

I was about to say that it was fine when I suddenly processed what she had said.

Goddess?

She said that her goddess had spoken to her?

When I understood this, I couldn't help revealing a strange look.

This was a look of amazement that had traces of confusion and doubt in it.

Seeing this, the green haired elder revealed an understanding look, but she still said, "I know that this is a lot to take in, but our goddess wishes to meet you at the Tree of Life."

I couldn't help revealing even more amazement when I heard this.

The goddess that she was referring to was without the Goddess of Life and I wasn't surprised by that. I was more surprised that she would say that the goddess wanted to meet me at the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life was the sacred tree for the elves and the representation of the Goddess of Life on this planet.

This was not a place that even elves would be able to access freely, let alone a human.

So I was surprised that I would be allowed to go to that place.

At the same time, there was a problem that I had to address.

"As far as I know, the Tree of Life is in the elven capital. Does that mean that I have to travel all the way there to commune with the Goddess of Life?" I asked this with knitted brows.

This was indeed a problem since I wouldn't be able to travel that far on such short notice…but this was a request from the Goddess of Life, so I didn't feel right about rejecting it…

The green haired elder revealed an understanding smile before shaking her head and saying, "No, you don't have to do that. You can just visit the sapling Tree of Life that we have here and commune with the goddess there."

I was surprised to hear this, but I gave a simple nod in response.

I never expected that there would be a sapling Tree of Life here.

I had seen these things in the game before, but as far as I knew, the entire elven race only had five of those in the first place as well. This was not something that could be entrusted to an elven village that easily…

Just what was so special about this place?

Seeing the look on my face, the green haired elder suddenly added, "The vine that we used before also came from this sapling Tree of Life."

I looked at her with a surprised look before revealing a bitter smile.

It seemed that the fact that I had recognized the vine being from the Tree of Life hadn't been missed.

She was basically saying that she knew that I had a lot of secrets and that she was not going to press me to reveal them, but at the same time…it was almost a kind of threat.

I wasn't bothered by this since I knew that she was just doing this for the safety of her village and race.

After all, I wouldn't want someone that I had just met two days ago to know things like this. These kinds of things could easily be used to harm them if they fell into the wrong hands.

After taking some time to gather my thoughts, I gave a nod and said, "Alright, let's go meet the Goddess of Life."

The green haired elder nodded before standing up and waving for me to follow.

But when Cecilia and Haley also tried following, the elders immediately came forward to block them.

Cecilia immediately raised her guard while Haley took a step back.

The green haired elder immediately said, "I'm sorry, but you have to understand that this sapling Tree of Life is a sacred place for us. Other than the one summoned by our goddess, we can't allow other people to go there. I hope that you can respect this."

Cecilia looked like she wanted to insist, but I waved my hand for her to calm down again.

I had already figured that this was the case, but I accepted this risk since I didn't believe that the elves would do anything to harm me.

So in the end, Cecilia put down her weapon and sat back down. But the look in her eyes seemed to say, "If you touch one hair on his head, I won't let you off."

The green haired elder who this gaze was aimed at revealed a faint smile before saying, "I promise that we'll bring him back safely."

Then without waiting, she turned around and walked further into the room.

Instead of going to the entrance to this tree house, she went to the center of the room and opened up a secret hatch.
