In an instant, Gao Xinaim nearly crushed the golden goblet in her hand. Ordinary elves didn't dare to be so unruly in front of her, and she could ignore the nonsense spoken by other races, but among the elves, there happened to be a Xia Ai'er.
"Really."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the God of Luck."
"There are many who have become Angels."
"Perhaps in a thousand years, even a dog could become a Saint."
"Hmm, I didn't say the God of Luck got there by luck; I just wanted to say that lucky people really do exist…"
Xia Ai'er watched as the Elf Queen's breathing grew heavy, as if she was suppressing something, and he honestly shut his mouth.
Because the elves' internal way of getting along was very simple and direct, and other elves basically couldn't beat him, he almost forgot that no matter how calm the Elf Queen was, she was an Angel of the Tyrant Pathway. She might actually hit people.
Gao Xinaim saw Xia Ai'er become well-behaved, and she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, snorting coldly and saying:
"What you said, I know better than you."
"In special times, with a certain amount of luck, an Angel is not an unreachable level."
"But how many Angels are there in this world? Which of the surviving Angels doesn't have other abilities?"
"Flegrea, Gregary, many of their descendants were Angels from birth. How many such Angels are still alive now?"
"I know you might have your own plans, but you've experienced too little, you're still too young. You even lack the tempering of battle more than many low- and mid-Sequence elves. You don't even have the killing intent to definitely put your opponent to death."
"Let alone killing intent, tell me, even when facing the Lord of Storms, do you have absolute hostility towards him in your heart?"
Gao Xinaim's words struck directly at the heart, as if peeling back Xia Ai'er's soul layer by layer. Xia Ai'er couldn't refute; these were all facts.
Elves were all very pure. Even if they couldn't resist the "Tyrant," they still harbored absolute hostility towards Leodero, who had seized the Storm authority.
Xia Ai'er didn't have that kind of hostility. Perhaps there were many reasons: he knew Leodero was a lucky person who became a God by simply lying down; he knew Leodero was like an egg before the Mother Goddess of Depravity, easily crushed; he knew that seizing authority was a very normal thing…
His growth environment was quite good; he hadn't suffered too much. He didn't have that kind of strong emotion.
"I just don't have that kind of natural, righteous hostility that Justice has towards evil."
"This doesn't prevent me from taking a dirty trick if necessary."
"You are right. I don't have that kind of urgent, furious, 'I want to blow up someone' idea. If there's a chance, I'll take a stab. If not, I'll create some trouble. I am ultimately on the elves' side, because we have similar faces, flow with the same blood, and have the highest cultural identification."
Xia Ai'er didn't know how to explain.
Perhaps this was the fault of the God's perspective; he felt a bit like he was playing life as a game. Was Rosell like this too? Are we all playing a role-playing game?
How did Klein manage to integrate so quickly?
"You need to go out and see this world."
"You can't always stay in the elves' settlements; you can't only interact with elves and those sea races."
Gao Xinaim emphasized again.
She couldn't see any obvious love or hate in Xia Ai'er; he had no strong emotions. He possessed divinity, but it wasn't strong. He didn't lack humanity, but it wasn't intense enough.
In the Elf Queen's view, his state was, to some extent, less vibrant than even a half-crazed elf. He was both restraining himself and not admitting it, deliberately showing off, trying to prove that he was very adaptable.
"Alright, you better be prepared. I might ask you for help at any time."
Xia Ai'er patted his cheek to perk up. Besides agreeing, what other good options were there?
He could also stay in the Rorsted Archipelago, but there was no need. He had originally planned to go out and search for more high-level Beyonder characteristics.
"Where is your Calamity Beyonder characteristic?"
"Take it out. I'll help you seal it within your body. This way, you won't have to advance for now, and you can still master the power of Calamity in advance."
Gao Xinaim saw Xia Ai'er's obedient demeanor, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She had high expectations for Xia Ai'er; this was a prophecy, or perhaps an intuition.
This elf, perhaps he could become a God?
"You have this ability, why didn't you tell me earlier? Is the Storm pathway also good at sealing? Is this a Dragon Pathway ability or a White Towern Pathway ability?"
Xia Ai'er was stunned when he heard Gao Xinaim's words. Why didn't you say so earlier? We're all elves, and you're still playing mind games with me, huh?
"I wanted to tell you last time."
"Who ran off early?"
Gao Xinaim said calmly.
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Xia Ai'er's face flushed, and he vanished from Gao Xinaim's palace with the sound of wind. After returning to his residence, he said to Arrodes:
"Arrodes, give me the Calamity characteristic. Gao Xinaim wants to help me seal the Calamity characteristic within my body. As long as I don't officially advance, the Lord of Storms won't be able to casually deal with me."
Xia Ai'er stepped forward and tapped the surface of the "Magic Mirror." He added another instruction to his virtual persona in the mirror:
"Find more locations of ownerless Uniqueness and Sequence 1 characteristics. We need to prepare early."
"The current environment is bad. Don't just focus on the Full Five and the Gou Three. If there are empty characteristics, mark them. We're not in a position to be picky."
Xia Ai'er's virtual persona continued to work overtime.
Arrodes released the Calamity characteristic sealed in the mirror world. "Do you want to take me with you when you go out this time?"
"Not this time. I'm worried you'll be snatched by a true God. We'll maintain contact through Spirit World positioning."
"Besides, I'm not in a hurry to go out."
After Xia Ai'er took the Calamity characteristic, he returned to Gao Xinaim's palace. This time, he didn't see several elf attendants, but he didn't pay attention.
The Elf Queen wants to trick him out of the Calamity characteristic?
He himself didn't believe it.
"Queen, how do we start?"
Xia Ai'er directly threw the Beyonder characteristic in his hand over, asking with some anticipation.
This was a good opportunity to learn a trick.
He had also consumed low-level White Towern characteristics.
"Turn around."
Gao Xinaim caught the Calamity characteristic. Her aura surged, and her back was enveloped in lightning, the power of the Beyonder characteristic forcibly suppressed.
"Turn around?"
Xia Ai'er stepped back a few paces.
"Not from the front?"
Why did he feel like he was about to get a shot?
"You or me?"
Lightning intertwined around Gao Xinaim, forming a dagger.
"Should I really not have expected anything from elven sealing?"
Xia Ai'er took the lightning dagger. He performed a self-hypnosis to reduce pain, then cut open the right side of his chest.
Blood seeped out, held by an invisible hand, not falling to the ground.
Xia Ai'er's brow furrowed. This was much more painful than a shot. "Done?"
Gao Xinaim nodded slightly. She raised her hand and gripped, all the lightning behind her surged into the Calamity characteristic. This deep blue characteristic seeped into Xia Ai'er's flesh along his wound, like a second heart, rooting itself in his body.
"That simple?"
Xia Ai'er felt it. His body didn't immediately begin to merge with the Calamity characteristic. Although the Elf Queen's "surgery" was crude, the effect was indeed very good.
