I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

It feels like living here forever can prolong her life, although it seems that she has no lifespan limit.

Looking at it this way, the world is really unfair. The human life span is only a hundred years, and even the strong ones among them can only live past two hundred years. But for the most ordinary elves who do not have any special talents, this time is just their youth.

It turns out that the world tree that can prolong people's life and is rich in life energy still belongs to the elves. What a biased world.

But on the other hand, given the elves' reproduction method, if they didn't live longer, there would probably be only a few members left in the tribe?

From this perspective, the world seems to be quite fair.

Perhaps human life is very short, but their will will be passed down from generation to generation, and will be inherited continuously along with the continuation of the race.

It's just...

Thinking of this, Eve frowned slightly and shook her head helplessly.

Based on some of the things she knew, the human race in this world seemed to be almost infiltrated like a sieve by the devil's believers. At least that was the case in the Land of Wealth and the Land of Lawlessness. The situation in other countries was better, but not much better.

It's very embarrassing.

The will and culture that should have been passed on were basically thrown away halfway.

I feel like if the first generation Holy Sword Master saw the human race in this state, he would probably be furious.

And Eve strongly suspected that the reason why so much of the human heritage in this world was lost was closely related to the believers of the demon god.

The fortress that blocks the abyss has become a training spot. I wonder how many corpses have been contributed that can be used as troops by the abyss.

They forgot the threat from the extreme west of the continent, only cared about the present and always planned to expand westward, which resulted in Elizabeth, as a top combat force, being tied down in the rear for a long time.

These are all things that are in line with the interests of the devil's believers, and it is hard not to be suspicious.

Hopefully, I won't need to use Death Nova on the Terrans later on.

Oh, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Shaking her head, Eve decided not to dwell on these things for now. She should just relax and perhaps go find Tina and the others for some "small interaction"? The orange kind?

However, when Eve returned to the room, she saw a situation that left her speechless.

In the blink of an eye, Istina and Melchis were already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Well, it feels like she's been excluded ever since she entered the World Tree Royal Court.

After gently squeezing, Eve managed to lie on the edge of the bed with her petite figure, and then she understood why Tina and the others fell asleep so quickly.

"Ah, it's really comfortable..."

The bed beneath me is also a special product. Just lying on it will automatically use life energy to help me relax. Once I relax like this, I will naturally feel sleepy, so...

“Hu…Hu…Hu…”

Accompanied by Eve's regular breathing, the number of people sleeping on the bed suddenly became three.

§196 Weird Atmosphere

“Hmm…Hmm…Hmm…Hmm.”

Eve and the other two were sleeping soundly on the soft big bed, but danger was about to befall Eve.

thump—

"Alas--"

With a muffled sound, Eve, who was originally leaning on the edge of the bed, rolled over and directly got off the bed, coming into close contact with the ground.

The beautiful dream that was halfway through was completely forgotten in the feeling of weightlessness when the ground under my feet was suddenly pulled away, leaving only a dull pain in my head.

He slowly stood up, rubbing his forehead. At this time, Istina and Melsis were still sleeping soundly in bed and were not awakened by the noise of Eve falling down.

"Yawn~"

Shaking her head to clear away the last bit of sleepiness in her mind, Eve decided not to wake them up. She would just go out for a walk by herself.

But this time she can't be too casual, she still needs to change into something more formal.

"Well... this is it."

After looking around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror for a long time, Eve finally chose a simple dress with an overall silver-white tone, without too many fancy decorations, so as to better fit the style of the World Tree Royal Court. For convenience, she hung the World Tree Token around her waist.

As for the atlas, she found it next to the communication magic circle when Eve was looking for someone to lead the way. It had some places she could go to now written on it, as well as recommended places to go. It seemed that it had been prepared in advance.

But just as Eve was about to sneak out, Arcana hugged her from behind.

"Master, I want to go too~"

"Eh? Where's Weiya? Why don't I see you with her?"

After all, according to past experience, Arcana would always bring Ilvia with him to find her at such times.

"Well... sometimes I also want to go out alone with my master~"

Arcana said with a smile while wagging his finger.

"Well, let's go then."

Standing in the teleportation array at the door, the next moment Eve and the other person appeared on a broad leaf, or rather, on a leaf at the very edge of the giant tree.

Standing here and looking out, the Elf Forest below is like an endless emerald green ocean.

However, since she had seen too many such scenes in the past few months, Eve quickly took Arcana to another place.

Thanks to the World Tree Token on her waist and her own identity, Eve can basically move around freely in various places on the giant tree.

However, after visiting a few more places, Eve didn't plan to continue shopping because the atmosphere here made her feel very strange. There was no trace of the joy that existed before the festival. Even the original peace and tranquility of the elves were gone. There was a faint sense of solemnity in the air, as if guarding against the upcoming battle.

But this is the holy land of the elves, the World Tree Royal Court. Not to mention who would dare to launch an attack, who has the strength to do so?

Although she had heard her mother mention that the followers of the Demon God planned to take some action during the Elf Ceremony, their target couldn't possibly be here, right?

Just like Elizabeth, who alone could frighten the human army into not daring to act rashly, Melceris, who was stationed here, was also one of the top fighters on the continent.

To be honest, Eve had no idea how the group of demon followers would attack here head-on.

Maybe there's nothing to be seen on the surface, but there might be so much magic in this giant tree that it's not an exaggeration to call it a fortress.

"Forget it... Let's go back."

Because the atmosphere was so bad, Eve lost interest in enjoying the scenery and directly called Akana to go back to the tree house.

"Okay~ I'm coming~"

While Eve and the other two were touring the giant tree, the elf mother Melceris was preparing for the opening of the wonderland.

Unlike the Golden Valley located in the Land of Wealth, the Courtyard of Creation is not located anywhere in this world. Instead, it is located inside the world, in the same dimension as where the weapon elves live, and is usually kept closed.

However, to enter here, one does not need to hold a ceremony at the right time like the contracted weapon elves. Instead, one can open the entrance through the ceremony at any time and enter.

However, this place has a fairly high requirement for the strength of those entering, or in other words, there are basically not many qualified people in the entire continent.

Moreover, the resources that can be produced in the strange territory are not infinite, and it takes a period of time before they can be harvested again.

It is said that this wonderland was a rehearsal place before the Creator God created the world. There are gifts left by the Creator God waiting for the right owner to come. However, so much time has passed, let alone the inheritance of the Creator God, no one has even seen the shadow of the Creator God. Over time, no one takes this matter seriously.

Originally, the opening ceremony of the wonderland did not need to be presided over by Melceris. After all, regularly harvesting materials from this wonderland is also the daily work of the elves, and naturally there are people in charge. They can't trouble the Mother of Elves every time.

However, the situation this time was a little special. In order to prevent attacks from the Demon God's followers before and after the festival, the white elf who was originally in charge of this job was temporarily transferred, so Melceris had to go in person to preside over it.

"All right."

After dispersing the magic power wrapped around her fingertips, Melceris looked at the passage leading to the wonderland in front of her.

"Go tell Princess Eve that the entrance to Wonderland is open and she can enter at any time."

"Yes!"

After saying this, Melceris disappeared from the ceremony venue and returned to her own residence, which was on the treetops a little higher than Eve and the others.

"..."

Instead of returning directly to the tree house to continue handling government affairs and prepare for the upcoming attack by the demon followers, Melceris silently looked down at the tree house where Eve and the others were staying.

She could feel that Melchis was there, and that gentle breath was still so familiar after a thousand years.

But at least now the other party is not the person he is familiar with.

"I... didn't disappoint you..."

I don’t know who she was asking this to, soft words flowed from her lips and were blown away by the wind.

Mother of Elves, this is the name given to her by her people.

The Three Poles of the Continent, this is the respectful name given to her power by the world.

But she is actually just an heir.

Thousands of years ago, facing the first wave of the abyss that strangled the elves, the other party gave her the last strength and died calmly, which allowed her to lead the elves to a glimmer of hope.

Although the era of God's name has long ended, they are still watching over their own race.

brush--

Suddenly, the light of teleportation magic in front of the tree house interrupted Merceris's thoughts, and the figures of Eve and Arcana emerged.

Eve, this vampire princess is really special. I hope she can change Melchis' fate.

Her gaze became firm again, and Melceris turned back to her own residence. Higher up, a tree house, whose owner was unknown, was faintly visible in the shadows of the trees.

§197 Farewell

brush--

Accompanied by the light of teleportation magic, Eve and Arcana returned to the tree house, and then saw a white elf waiting at the door.

And she didn't know if it was Eve's illusion, but when she came out of the teleportation array, she felt as if someone was looking at her?

However, this feeling was only fleeting, so she couldn't be completely sure.

At this time, the white elf who was waiting in front of the door walked up and said after seeing Eve and the others emerge from the teleportation array.

"Your Highness Princess Eve, the gate to Wonderland has been opened. Are you ready to enter now?"

"Eh? Already opened?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go call the others."

With that, Eve returned to the room.

Even though she and Akana had gone out for a short walk, Istina and Ilvia still showed no signs of waking up and were still sleeping soundly.

"Wake up~"

In order to avoid the accident of falling asleep on the bed, Eve just stood aside and shook the two of them.

"Hmm... Brave Master? What's the matter..."

“…Eve…?”

"Don't sleep, we're going to Wonderland."

"Eh?! Now?"
