You are all my wings!

[Hamra's favorability +2%, current favorability 66%]

Leon nearly choked on his breath.

"You're such a precocious child! You're already thinking about love at such a young age? You don't even know what kind of person I am, and you already want to get married?"

"Leon asked."

Hamra was taken aback, then nodded: "That makes sense. So what should we do... wait, you're clearly younger than me, how can you say I'm precocious?"

Leon ignored her question and laughed:

"Tell me first, why do you want to get married at such a young age?"

"Sigh, it's all because of my mother. She said I should experience more of life while I'm young, and it would be best if I found a suitable husband so I could be happy. The problem is, I don't even have the chance to go out, so how can I experience life?"

Hamra's little face drooped.

"Then why did you choose me to be your husband?"

"Because you're the only guy I know, and I don't dislike you, I actually quite like you."

"Not disliking or merely liking is not enough to constitute the conditions for happiness. If you want to be happy, you need to have love. Liking is something that can easily change with age and experience."

"Can't love do the same?"

"My love will never change. As for others, what they call love is just infatuation. True love can never fade; it is an eternal gem, the most precious part of the soul, and the last anchor point before a person falls into endless purgatory, indelible."

As Lyon spoke, he seemed to have a thought, and couldn't help but say this.

When he first awakened his memories of his past life, he did not believe in love.

Because his previous era was completely different from the present, living and enjoying life was the main theme of life.

But in this extraordinary fantasy world, everyone's soul has its own inherent nature, which is sublimated as they advance, eliminating many mundane aspects and becoming more steadfast and less susceptible to external influences.

Therefore, he now believes that eternal love is possible between truly extraordinary souls, after much trial and error.

He had at least seen this sign in his two wives, Iris and Magiro, who had high favorability ratings.

Hamra was taken aback when he heard Leon's words. He stopped in his tracks and stared blankly at Leon.

[Hamra's favorability +4%, current favorability 70%]

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that she had been standing still for a long time, Leon reached out and pinched her cheek.

It was mainly to remind her that it wasn't because I'd wanted to pinch her cheeks for a long time, hmm.

Hamra's eyes cleared, and she suddenly realized what was happening. She said, "I'm fine. I just think you're amazing for saying such touching things."

Are you moved?

"Yes, I feel like I'm starting to understand what I need to do in the future."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Hehe, I won't tell you!"

As they spoke, Hamra carried Leon in her arms and sped away from Gran Heroes Village.

……

Crack! ...

A bolt of lightning flashed from the far distance, streaking across the sky and illuminating the evening. It then precisely turned and struck in front of Hamra, creating a large crater.

She suddenly stopped at her feet, looking tense.

In the distance, a petite pure-blooded elf, draped in a sky-blue robe, appeared and gracefully landed.

"Hamra, where do you want to go today?"

“Mother, I’m not running away. I’m just taking Herwiz’s little brother for a walk and letting him play with him.”

It seems this is M'shiruna. I didn't expect Hamra's plan to run away from home to be aborted so quickly.

Leon glanced sideways at Mshiruna.

She had short, sky-blue hair that went past her ears, without any hair accessories. The hair below her forehead was thick, straight, and each strand was clearly visible.

With her pale gold, soft, delicate eyebrows matching those of M'shifisu, along with her dark agate-like irises and emerald-like pupils, Leon was certain that the future halfling high priestess was most likely this M'shifisu.

She has a small, oval face with delicate and beautiful features. Her eyes are cool and her overall demeanor is refreshing and neat. She doesn't look like a young mother; she looks more like a pretty tomboy.

She is about the same height as Msifisu, slightly taller than Machiru, with slender hands and feet, and healthy off-white skin that still looks very moisturized in the dim light of the evening.

Her chest is as flat as Machiru's, which is a bit less impressive than Mushifisu's ample bosom.

I wonder if she is also a pure elemental spirit.

Leon believed it was very likely, because she could use electric magic, and it was quite powerful. Moreover, the launch location was clearly more than ten kilometers away, and it was precisely intercepted here.

Throughout the entire continent, and even in the Holy Land, there are very few who can use electric magic with such power.

So her official partner must be Tegwansch?

Strangely enough, Lyon has yet to see this guy.

"Very well, you've found another new excuse."

Mshiruna pointed her finger, and Hamra was suddenly pulled towards her.

"follow me."

Hamra floated uncontrollably in the air, clinging tightly to Leon, and roared angrily, "Damn it, why can't we even go out to play?"

"You'll know why when you grow up."

"Mshiruna said calmly."

Then, she looked at Lyon:

"Little guy, are you Bell?"

What does "that Bell" mean?

It seems that M'shiruna is also aware of her so-called 'destiny' or 'fate'.

Lyon wondered, could M'shiruna be a hidden demigod?

So the legendary strength displayed by the future halfling high priest may not have been the true strength he had shown.

But if the halflings have her as a powerful backer, why are they still in such a difficult situation?

Does she have some reason that she can't reveal?

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lyon greeted Hamra politely from Hamra's arms.

Mshiruna smiled and reached out to pat Leon's head: "Not bad, much better than Hamra's disrespectful behavior."

She took Hamra and Lyon and flew up, streaking across the night sky like lightning.

Leon was thus taken home by M'shiruna.

When her father, Bornius, came out to greet them, he politely invited Msiluna to have dinner with him, but Msiluna refused and flew away with Hamra.

Lyon noticed that Herwiz also seemed to have been persuaded by Berntius, and was no longer as enthusiastic as before, becoming somewhat distant.

It's unclear whether she was acting or if she had some new idea in mind.

Ten years have passed since then.

There was still no disaster, no disease, and no suffering.

Life in the Holy Land moves at a slow pace. Lyon has a lot of free time every day, with no one to bother him. He spends most of his time training and improving his strength.

It is worth mentioning that nine years ago, he participated in the inauguration ceremony ahead of schedule and successfully advanced to become a first-tier elemental mage. It is said that he is also the only pure-blooded elf in the history of the Holy Land to take office at the young age of 11, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, the Holy Land is too vast, and there are countless powerful individuals within it.

His story was only discussed for a few days before no one paid attention anymore, and everyone went back to their own lives.

At twenty years old, his facial features were almost the same as when he was ten.

However, he was diligent in training and had completely mastered the third-tier monster muscle resonance technique. He also benefited from the diet of a demigod family. Overall, he was much taller than pure-blooded elves of the same age, standing at 1.75 meters.

If you don't look at his face, he already looks quite grown up.

Ten years ago, Hamra secretly came to find him many times, but each time he was successfully captured by M'shiruna, who shouted that she would become so strong that he could no longer restrain her!

Each meeting is very short, and there are only a few opportunities a year, but each meeting can increase the favorability by one or two points.

Over time, the overall favorability rating unknowingly reached 88%, a natural progression.

Lyon sensed that although Hamra was very fond of him at this time, Hamra's attitude towards him was still more like that of a playmate, and had not yet turned into romantic feelings.

On the other hand, Herwiz could no longer see him.

She went out more and more frequently, only returning home once every two or three years. Her strength also improved by leaps and bounds, and she had unknowingly reached the peak of the sixth rank, seeking to advance to the legendary level.

Leon guessed that it was probably close to the point where she would fall into depravity.

It's unclear whether the real trigger was what she previously described—simply to break free from the Sacred Tree's shackles and further enhance her strength.

After observing her for years, he felt that he might also be the reason for her downfall.

Incidentally, Herwiz and Hamla are 30 years apart in age, but look about three or four years apart in appearance.

Basically, pure-blooded elves' appearance is largely fixed when they grow to resemble a 20-year-old human girl, and they don't show signs of aging until they get old.

The last time Leon saw her was half a year ago. She had grown into a stunning beauty with white hair, fair skin, a slim waist, long legs, and a curvy figure.

Her demeanor is cool and aloof, yet possesses a touch of mature beauty, clearly indicating that she has accumulated a great deal of experience while venturing out into the world.

This day.

Lyon was meditating and training as usual in the dense forest outside the village.

"Bell, Bell!"

A melodious and light voice came from the dense forest not far away.

Leon opened his eyes and saw Hamra, who looked exactly like Iris, wearing a white dress, emerging from the grass with a grin. She then strode towards him with her fair feet, her long, light blue hair flowing in the wind and shimmering in the sunlight.

She carried a bundle on her back, and a few weeds were stuck to her cheeks.

"You successfully ran away from home again today?"

When Lyon saw Hamra, he had a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Mother was summoned to a meeting by the Grand Elder today. It is said that the Sacred Tree has issued a new prophecy, and all experts above the eighth rank have already gone to the Sacred Tree. Let's go to a more distant place now!"

"Okay, where do you want to go this time?"

"Well, anywhere is fine, as long as Mother can't find us easily!"

"Actually, I know how M'shiluna found you. Do you want to run even further?"

Leon smiled. His accumulated strength was quite considerable, and he had already detected the mark that M'shiruna had left on Hamra.

"Hmm? Okay, okay, let's elope!"

"Okay, let's go."

Lyon had long wanted to find a chance to leave, but he had always been able to sense that Bornius's detection magic remained on him, and he knew that if he ran away, he would definitely be caught and brought back like Hamra.

Now that I have accumulated enough strength, I naturally need to seek ways to advance faster.

"So, how do you plan to help me shake off my mother's stalking?"

“That’s easy. Take off your shirt, and her magic mark will be imprinted on your chest. I’ll remove it for you.”

Hamra blushed instantly, her fair cheeks turning rosy and dewy.

"You're not deliberately trying to see my chest, are you?"

She turned her face away stiffly. At this age, she had slowly begun to develop romantic feelings, and compared to her lively and innocent self ten years ago, she had become more shy and girlish.

"What are you thinking? After all these years, is there any part of your body that I haven't seen? It's just two pieces of snow-white flesh. Hurry up! If you're too late, your mother might notice something's wrong and come after you."

"Oh."

Hamra had no choice but to turn her head and obediently say, "Then help me, I don't know where to get off."
