"-You are a lot like an old friend of mine."

How do you feel when you hear these words?

What a boring and vulgar way of hooking a girl? Or is it the usual beginning of luring underage girls? Or maybe it's just a harmless joke?

However, if the person saying this is an old man who does not look like he is joking, then you should change your opinion.

This old man is probably lonely and looking for a topic to chat with young people to try his best to catch up on his past.

However, if the old man also added another sentence "you really are not him?" very seriously, then it is not about boring, irritating or other feeling -

But a chilling creepy ......

"You you you ...... What are you talking about! I just passed my seventeen but haven’t reached my eighteen this year! And you still are kidding with me at this age! Really?"

"Well, you make your point."

The Spirit of Holy Wood nodded and smiled to himself -

"But it's really alike, your souls ......"

" ...... soul?"

"Well, as the spiritual embodiment of a person's essence, the soul can directly reveal a person's character, preferences, loves and hates. For example, like you and Molly Ann, although I can’t see your complete memory, but from your soul I can see your sincerity and goodness, and that integrity and generosity engraved in your bones, you really want to save a sinking city."

"Yah yah ...... I am a little embarrassed because of your praise ......"

The old man looked at me quietly for a moment, then bowed his head and sighed- -

"What a resemblance ...... whether from the strength of your soul, or the essence of your soul ......"

"Well ...... What kind of person is the one who is very similar to me?"

"A dead person."

The old man answered simply and sharply.

"......"

I mentally sent him a speechless back.

"Well, it has been so long after all ...... That one is the one who gave everything to this world"

Wow ......"

He is talking about the creator ...... I can’t really compare with him ......

"He is an extremely great person who gave everything to this world has and gave what is left of him for something else, and he was just so generous. The reason I will use the vast majority of my own origin to create elf is probably because I am also influenced by him."

Yah yah, I just can't bear to interrupt it, but please let Emile that guy who is out of her mind to continue the conversation between the divinities, I just really can't catch up with you ......

Luckily, he didn't continue to recall -

"Well, I should not mention about the past too much, I can still see that you are not happy with me from your soul."

"Eh! Is that so? Ha ...... ha ......"

"Is it because you think that the fate of the Ancient Wood Priestess was caused by me?"

"...... Yes."

If it's like what Nalesha said, her sister, and her mother, those who so-called Ancient Wood Priestess, not only have a much shorter lifespan than ordinary elf, but must intermarry with the royal family, they are just like imprisoned by the duty of Ancient Wood Priestess ......

"Speaking of which, the name Ancient Wood Priestess itself is wrong, they are not here to serve me, but are receiving my blessing."

"...... huh?"

"That is a noble but cursed bloodline that should not be passed down, and if I do not shelter them as much as possible and strengthen the influence of my own bloodline in them, they may not even make it to their adulthood."

Is that so!

Lord Holy Wood didn't seem to have the intention to go deeper into the subject, so he changed it to another subject. -

"Your companion, the one called Emile, she also has a very strange soul ......"

"Emile? ......"

"Well, I am not talking about her will, but her way of existence, although her soul is powerful, but it is also chaotic and crazy, and the most fragile, like it is going to break anytime even being touched by a dying person."

"Eh! Are you talking about that Emile!?"

The Emile who is strong as bull!

ah, wait, accidentally I exposed her image in my heart ......

"Yes, I am talking about her, honestly, I am actually more curious about whether her soul is collapsed or not when her soul could still maintain incomparably active...... crap! "

......

Although I want to continue to listen, but the spirit of the holy wood suddenly changed its elegant manner and shouted “crap”.

--The white space we are in now is shaking violently, and a huge dark rift opened up above.

"Emile, Miss Emile! What are you doing? Wait! Are you ......"

Kalmen's panicked voice came through the rift.

"Anyway! You passed the trial! Tell your companion Emile that I don’t have the right to decide the ownership of the Three Thousand Spirits Ring! Tell that to the Elf King!"

The Spirit of Holy Wood hurriedly left these words to me and disappeared in a flash.

With his disappearance, the whole space emitted a clicking sound, and eventually the whole space collapsed with that rift as its center-
