Free Web NovelChapter 1502: Chapter 938: Maria’s Dream (Part 3)
The golden sunlight slanted onto the female elf’s body, as if draping her in a layer of Holy Light.
She wore a smile, and that beautiful face always made Maria slightly lose her senses.
As a former Empress, Maria had seen elves since childhood, and many were even more beautiful than the elf priest before her.
However, for some reason, only this female elf in front of her gave her a special feeling.
It was a feeling hard to describe with words, a feeling that made her unable to help but be drawn to the other when she saw her.
This beautiful elf priest exuded an elegant and noble aura with every move.
That unique temperament, even Maria, of royal descent, found it difficult to avert her gaze.
Of course, if it were just that, Maria at most would only have taken a few more glances when she first met her.
What truly caused her to have interactions with her was the assistance she received in her self-study of healing magic and natural magic.
Looking at the smiling elf priest, Maria couldn’t help but recall the first time she met her a few months back.
It was an early summer afternoon, and Maria entered the forest to find a precious magic potion, only to encounter a savage Silver Magical Beast.
Though after a fierce battle she slain the beast, she was severely injured and had no choice but to hide in the beast’s cave to heal.
At that time, the girl’s healing magic was still not refined, and the slain Silver Magical Beast was also venomous; during the healing process, her injuries not only didn’t improve but seemed to be getting worse...
Maria even once thought she couldn’t make it back.
At that moment, she happened to run into Lady Feng, who was traveling, and she promptly provided the correct treatment, allowing her to recover her health. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Your magic is used incorrectly. This magical beast’s toxin is quite special; it lurks in your bloodstream. At this time, using life force-enhancing healing techniques will not only fail to heal your wounds but will also speed up blood circulation, worsening your poisoning."
"Although this toxin isn’t lethal, if you drag it out, it will be enough to wear down your body. Your internal magic power pool and magic circuits may eventually be corroded by the toxin, and then... you may never be able to use magic again."
Recalling Lady Feng’s serious appearance while treating her for the first time, a trace of gratitude and fear welled up in Maria’s heart.
Their conversation seemed vividly remembered:
"Are you a traveling elf adventurer?"
"Yes."
"This is the Easternmost Land. Why did you come to such a remote place?"
"This is the last area untouched by the Life Church. Don’t you think it’s quite commemorative?"
"So... That’s why you’re traveling here? Does that mean... you’re a Life believer?"
"Of course, every elf is a Life believer."
"Then do you know... the Elf Chosen One?"
"I am."
"..."
Maria couldn’t forget her surprise the first time she knew the other’s identity.
Because of some personal experiences and preconceived notions, her impression of the Elf Chosen One was never good, even a bit fearful.
However, after getting to know her, she found that this was a gentle and elegant elf, nothing like the rumored brutal, cunning, hypocritical, greedy Elf Chosen One.
Not only that, with the treatment, she discovered that the other had an extremely high level of attainment in healing magic, even her long-gone teacher might not compare...
This discovery instantly excited Maria, as she had always longed to improve her healing magic.
She hoped that through her own power she could help the villagers more.
"Beautiful and noble Elf Lady, my name is Maria. May I ask what your name is?"
"Feng, you can call me Feng."
"Feng? A truly lovely name. Are you a Druid? Or perhaps... a Life Priest?"
"I’m a Druid, but also a Life Priest."
"Then... may I learn some healing magic from you? I’m willing to pay!"
"Of course."
"Thank you! Feng... Teacher Feng!"
"No need to call me teacher, just Feng."
"No, no... It’s too impolite to directly call you by your name!"
"Miss Maria, I have no intention of taking apprentices."
"Then in that case, could I call you Lady Feng?"
"You may."
Thus the young girl began another round of magic learning.
But this time, it wasn’t in the forest, nor in Maria’s cabin in the woods, but on the outskirts of Bonn Town.
Afterward, the young girl found out that Feng was also here on a mission. freēwēbnovel.com
The Elf Chosen Ones who came to this area were not only her, altogether there were probably a dozen or so, and their goal was to build the last Life Temple in Bonn Town while spreading the faith of the Life Goddess.
Subsequently, Life Priests were frequently seen preaching in Bonn Town.
However, Feng was rarely seen participating in it.
Though she often appeared at the temple under construction, she spent more time traveling in the town, among the villages, seemingly enjoying a leisurely journey.
Moreover, she didn’t seem to have any intention of indoctrinating Maria into believing in the Life Goddess.
This relieved Maria, who had been worried that belief in the Life Goddess would be a condition for learning magic...
