After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 194 - 62: Glowing Berries
"No need to thank . Your father already thanked before he died."
Yila said this, and Satan Ye’s eyes widened instantly. She couldn’t help but ask the elf lady, "Sis, did Mr. Yila also kill your father?"
By any asure, this question was outrageous, but at this mont, it seed so reasonable...
"Hmm? You must be Satan Ye... Are you Favignano’s daughter?"
The elf woman nodded and continued, "Yes, Mr. Yila cleansed all the Corrupted Lands and released all the corrupted elves. Was your father also corrupted at that ti?"
Being asked this, Satan Ye, who did not understand what *corruption* ant, was stunned and looked at Yila in confusion... Was my father corrupted? Is that why Mr. Yila killed him?
"No, it was just that we were enemies on the battlefield, so I killed him."
Yila said rcilessly.
"Ah, that couldn’t be helped then..."
The elf girl showed an understanding expression. It seed that they could view life and death well... or rather, people in this world did not value life and death as much as the ancient federations (Huaxia).
Of course, if soone close to you was killed, anger was still warranted.
Because in this world, the souls of the dead would indeed return to the World Tree, and that soul would eventually beco nourishnt for the World Tree, then be reborn again.
Even the theocratic country, which denied the existence of gods, acknowledged this point.
This world was quite idealistic. Even if Mana was regarded as a fundantal particle, it still was not materialistic... In this idealistic and magical world, tackling problems from a materialistic perspective would only lead to a dead end.
"Yila, how many days do you plan to stay this ti?"
Cassiopeia asked Yila expectantly, hoping Yila would stay a few days in the Silver Moon Tree Court, but received no answer from Yila.
Yila just pointed at Hilena and Satan Ye, indicating that they should be asked instead of him.
"To reply to King Cassiopeia, after the trade is completed and we have discussed the contents of the next trade, we will return... The affairs in the Demon King Territory are busy, and we cannot stay long. Please understand."
Hilena spoke respectfully yet distantly, causing Cassiopeia to look disappointed.
"However, I might stay for a while longer to handle so personal matters... Hilena, you and Satan Ye take everyone back first. I’ll return to the Demon King Territory through Void Travel later."
Yila said, about to explain his reasons for doing so, but Hilena and Satan Ye nodded imdiately in agreent, with the little Demon King nodding and saying, "Then Mr. Yila, do your best and co back soon."
"..."
*Is this trust a bit excessive? What if I decide to stay in the Silver Moon Tree Court and never return? But being the trusted one feels really nice.*
Yila thought, nodding to show he understood.
But, thinking carefully, if I really wanted to stay in the Silver Moon Tree Court forever, forcibly retaining in the Demon King Territory would result in unfavorable outcos.
So, is this hitting the mark by chance? Even though I have no intention of resigning from the Demon King Territory—The Silver Moon Tree Court is a great place to retire but not suitable for realizing dreams and ambitions.
"Hmm? That’s good then. I asked everyone in the Royal Court to prepare a room for you. Satan Ye, Hilena, and the three other ladies, please rest in the Royal Court until the trade is complete."
Cassiopeia said, her joy evident on her face. Yila presud this was the joy of reuniting with an old friend... Hopefully, it’s genuinely that and not for so other reason.
With Cassiopeia’s invitation, the six followed the surrounding elves, leaving behind the Sea Demon sailors unloading cargo and the children helping out... What? Should Satan Ye need protection?
On one hand, the Sea Demons on the ship couldn’t defeat the three Sea Demon Leaders, and the three leaders couldn’t defeat Hilena. On the other hand... If Yila couldn’t protect Satan Ye, then no amount of Black Knights surrounding her would make a difference.
Passing through a forest with dense canopies, under the gentle gaze of the elves on the branches, they headed towards the largest tree in the distance... That was where the World Tree was located.
Of course, the so-called Silver Moon Tree Royal Court was not the World Tree itself. The residence of royalty and noble elves was on a large tree before the imnse World Tree, so large it barely looked like a *tree*.
If the World Tree’s size made one unable to perceive the curvature of its trunk when standing before it, then the Royal Court Tree was much smaller, yet still enormous...
Including its bark, the area of one floor might be as large as the whole Demon King Territory.
"It’s beautiful..."
Satan Ye marveled, walking on the forest path. Due to the dense leaves, little sunlight shone through, but the surroundings were still illuminated—there were many glowing ferns all around.
Occasionally, a few fireflies were seen fluttering.
This place seed filled with a beautiful and mysterious aura.
"Yes, but the Silver Moon Tree Court is even more beautiful at night."
Yila smiled, seemingly very familiar with the Silver Moon Tree Court, saying, "It’s noon now. When we co back tonight, you can look more closely... The nightti here on the ground is brighter than the moon in the sky."
"Wow~"
Satan Ye looked up in admiration, gazing at the rustling leaves above. Listening to Yila, her anticipation for the nightti’s goldenness increased.
"Here, this is for you, Sister Satan Ye~"
It seed from their first visit that Cassiopeia and Satan Ye had called each other sisters. Yila always felt sothing was off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
Satan Ye blinked, looking at the glowing blue berry Cassiopeia handed her and then seeing her distribute berries to Hilena, the three Sea Demons, and Yila, asking, "What is this? Can it be eaten?"
"Yes, glowing berries. They taste very good."
Yila said.
"..."
Although she sensed so malice, since Yila said so, it should be fine.
Thinking this, Satan Ye didn’t notice Yila had no intention of eating it himself. She gently bit into the berry, the size of a pinky finger, and a sweet flavor burst out instantly... Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ate the berry in her hand.
"Delicious~"
Satan Ye said happily, noticing Yila’s gaze... which seed to be holding back laughter.
Satan Ye followed Yila’s gaze to her own body...
"Wow!!! Why am I glowing?!"
