Chapter 703 Sincere Admitment of Mistakes, Resolute Refusal to Change

Not long after Lana woke up, the royal priest arrived.

They were taken aback when they saw Lana standing up.

"Huh, you're alright?"

Lana nodded: "It's all over now."

Nara exclaimed excitedly, "It's all thanks to Sister Xi! She was passing by and saw Sister Lana unconscious, so she stepped in and saved her!"

"Xi?" The priest didn't react for a moment.

"It's Sister Xi, who fought alongside Elena to wipe out the beast tide!" Nara counted on her fingers. "She and Sister Lana seem to be good friends!"

"Nara!" Lana called out to Nara, saying apologetically, "Nara is still young, don't listen to her nonsense. Miss Xi is kind-hearted, she will help anyone, whether they are friends or not."

The pastor didn't come alone, but in two. The two priests exchanged a glance and nodded: "We understand, Miss Lana, please get some rest."

The two then left.

Lana looked at Nara and scolded, "Nara, don't talk nonsense. I've only met Miss Xi twice."

"But I can tell that Sister Xi really cares about you, otherwise she wouldn't have come all this way..."

“That was just… to return the Leaf of the Forest.” Lana said somewhat dejectedly, then shook her head. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m going to the Royal Court to resume my post tomorrow. It’s really embarrassing that this happened right after my promotion.”

"Um...okay."

……

It was the next day when Celia returned to the border camp.

She wasn't in a hurry to go back, but instead wandered around the Elf Forest and its surroundings to see how the elves were doing their disaster relief work.

Nowadays, the beast tide has dwindled to just a few scattered groups and is no longer a significant threat.

However, the pollution problem remains, although the concentration has become much lower.

According to the information gathered, it seems that people from the Kingdom of Phoenix intervened to help the Elven Royal Court purify the pollution.

Separating pollution from life elements doesn't require a specific person. Anyone with an affinity for life elements and a certain level of mastery over them can separate them and then purify them using purification techniques.

In such a long time, even if the Elven Kingdom couldn't find a mage with an affinity for the life element, other empires would have.

The disaster relief work in the Elven Royal Court is underway. Celia encounters elves rebuilding their homes and helps them if they encounter difficulties. In this way, she slowly returns to the border camp.

After returning to the camp, Melina called her over.

In Melina's room, Melina looked at her strangely and asked, "Did you go to the Elf King's City?"

Celia was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Melina's face darkened. "The Elf King is looking for you all over the world now. The whole world knows."

Celia: "...How did they know I went there?"

"You went to heal an elf, and that elf is from the royal court. How could the news not reach the Elf King's ears?"

"Oh, that's right."

Celia thought about it and realized that Nara had summoned the priests from the royal court. Although they were a little slow to arrive, they should have come later. It was unlikely that either Lana or Nara would help her conceal the fact that she had been there, since she hadn't asked them to.

Xi's identity is a positive one among the elves, and most people wouldn't dare to hide it.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense.

Celia didn't pay any attention.

"Yeah, I went. The Elf King's City isn't a place you can just go to whenever you want, right? Why the big reaction?"

Melina: "..."

She was both amused and exasperated. "The Elven Royal Court already knows you can disguise yourself. They're trying to see through your disguise now. Don't touch a nerve with them."

Celia nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay." As long as she didn't wander around in front of the Elven Royal Court or those high-level mages, as a fourth-tier mage, she could go wherever she wanted.

Then, Celia asked curiously, "What were the Elf Kings' reactions like? Were there any photos or videos taken of them?"

"No, we only know that their people are looking for you like crazy. They've searched the royal city three times already."

Celia shook her head: "It's been so long, and they still don't understand me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would stay in the royal city all the time? If they're going to look for me, they should be looking in dangerous areas outside, or in cities that need help."

"They did that too... but their efficiency..."

Melina's face showed a suppressed laugh, as if she was about to burst out laughing.

"I'm guessing you intervened on your way back, right?"

Celia nodded.

"That's right. They've obtained outdated intelligence and are calculating your route so they can send people to intercept you."

Celia: "..."

I'm already home, but they're still blocking me there.

"If you continue to move around inside, you will probably be intercepted today or tomorrow. We are all prepared to re-enter the elven territory."

"No need for that. Now is the time for disaster relief and reconstruction, and there's not much I can do."

"That's good. I mean, it's good that you're back."

Melina chatted with Celia for a while longer, and when she finally let Celia leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Celia, will you go to the Elf Forest again?"

"Well, I can't say for sure."

Celia didn't dare to nod.

If I agree, wouldn't it be awkward if I went later?
"You...sigh, no matter what we say, if you really want to go, we can't stop you. But you have to be careful. You're not the same as before. A lot of people are watching you now, so be careful."

“I will,” Celia nodded.

It's definitely different. If she went to the Blue Dragon Empire after completing the heroic rescue of the Elven race, they wouldn't just monitor her and politely send her away. Instead, they would directly "invite" her to stay on Dragon Island with good food and drink until the Holy Court sent someone to bring her back.

Of course, that's assuming you can catch her.

Melina did not make demands of Celia as she had before.

Watching Celia's departing figure, she couldn't help but think of the scene from before.

Celia flew away on her flying broom, disappearing in a flash. They searched everywhere but couldn't find her until she returned on her own.

With a flight speed that even sixth-tier beings can only dream of, as long as Celia doesn't act recklessly, there's really nothing to worry about.

Perhaps, before long, Celia will grow to be at her level. Melina thought to herself.

"No, before long, she may grow to a level that I have to look up to."

Melina sighed.

Suddenly, she felt old.

……

After leaving Melina, Celia looked at Ross in her mind and asked curiously, "Lord Ross, are we going to the Elf Forest next?"

Ross said, "Let's see how things are over there before deciding whether to go or not."

"Is there anything else that needs to be resolved?"

"Of course, the pollution hasn't been eradicated yet, but the Elf Forest is much more serious than the Golden Apple Stone Forest, so we need to observe it first."

He wanted to see if the God-King would make a move.
