Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter V Chapter 171

"The "holy dew test of Yggdrasil is really very potent. If only I could get more. Unfortunately, the holy dewdrop of Yggdrasil took a very long time to accumulate this much." He muttered while looking at the potion bottle in his hand. "One drop of this elixir is made from the extraction of Mana density that has accumulated over 10 years. As for this bottle, I think it took a lot and a very long time. Not to mention because of the actions of Erebos who messed with the pure energy of Yggdrasil." Alice took her breath.

With her holy dew drops, Alice also helps Daeron Mablung heal. When she first gave Daeron a drop of the holy dew, Alice hesitated a little because she saw no signs of healing from Daeron. He did not feel his life energy rising. Then Alice realized that the holy dew drops were only to heal all physical wounds not soul wounds.

Alice also tried to use the same soul technique she had used on Elysia.

He's diving into Daeron's subconscious.

Daeron's soul strength and consciousness turned out to be extremely weak. Alice felt that her life force was slowly diminishing.

"If this continues, sooner or later he will die."

Alice then uses her soul power to recover Daeron's soul, which has been damaged by Erebos' influence. Slowly, like a broken piece of glass, Daeron's soul came together and became stronger.

Recovering Daeron's soul was much easier than Elysia's because there was no magic blocking it. Moreover, there was no trauma to Daeron's mental state so Alice could move the energy in his body more easily.

As an elf who has a long life, Alice believes that Daeron's soul power will return to normal as well as his life force. Although it takes time for the broken soul to be in harmony with its body.

"Thank you for your help." Alice bowed politely to Daeron who was sitting in a wheelchair.

With Daeron's recovery, Alice was relieved and pleased that she had obtained some crystals with runes engraved in them. Alice looked at the purple crystal in her hand. "With this thing, I can finally get in touch with my family." His mind.

"No. I should have thanked you. You've done so much good for us. You are our hero. As king, I'm so grateful that fate led you here. Later, if you need help, we will definitely help you as much as possible."

"I appreciate your generosity."

"You are our hero. Friends of the Elves. You and your descendants, will always be accepted in this country." Daeron smiled, then he bowed his head slightly as a sign of gratitude and gratitude.

The next day...

There was still one place Alice had not visited. Alice, Echidna and Elysia. They're heading for the Wasteland.

"Why did you come here?" Ask Elysia.

"I want to see someone."

Alice's voice sounded slow.

From the moment they passed through the forest and arrived at the Wasteland, Elysia felt that her mother was harboring something. Even if he doesn't show it on his face. But his steps, breath and silence implied that his heart had become heavier.

Elysia turned her head and tried to question Echidna. "Sister..."

Echidna shook her head slowly as a gesture for Elysia not to ask anything more.

The two continued to follow Alice until they saw a thick tree standing not far in front of a cave. Under the tree was a strange pile of stones.

After Elysia saw it more clearly, the pile of stones was like a gravestone Alice had made in her mother's tomb.

Alice took out a wide piece of cloth and a wooden basket containing food from her dimension ring.

"This. You guys sit down first." He said as he gave the basket and cloth to his two daughters.

Elysia did not understand why her mother had suddenly become like that. This was the previous place where his mother practiced.

Why did you come back here? Is this the tomb of someone you know? This place is the territory of the elves.

Echidna immediately pulled Elysia who was silent and only noticed Alice.

"Dries. Spread the cloth here. Mama said that today we will have a picnic here. I honestly don't really know what a picnic is." Echidna.

Elysia was pelanga-longo before she nodded with a puzzled expression on her face.

After he spread the cloth over the grass, he took out the food in the basket.

Elysia's mind could not escape Alice. He occasionally glanced at his mother sitting beside the pile of stones.

Echidna understood Elysia's confusion, she also wanted to ask the same thing. But he just didn't want to ask. For the first time, he saw the look on Alice's face that was drowning in sadness.

The mother he always relied on was a strong woman. Even if he fought an enemy that was much stronger than him, he would not be afraid and tremble. He was always calm as if everything was under his control. It was rare to see him angry and sad this deep.

But this time Echidna saw the back of her mother who was bent beside the pile of stones as if held back by a large chunk of stone and full of cuts. His movements his breathing seemed to slow down and each of his blows faintly sounded heavy.

"Hey...Xiao Yun." Alice muttered softly.

Xiao means small. That was how he usually called Lin Zhou Yun familiarly affectionately.

Alice took out a small urn filled with drinks from her dimension ring. That drink was Ale one of the alcoholic beverages the elves made.

"I have kept my promise. Is the reason you sent your teacher here just so I could see your tomb and mourn?"

An afternoon breeze under the twilight sky was like supporting his mood of sadness.

"I'm stupid. At that time I really did not expect and thought that you would betray me. My heart was deeply saddened when I thought about it even after I woke up in this world. Plus Xiao Mei who is also doing the same thing as you. That memory was a nightmare for me. My cultivation is hampered. They are like heart demons that can make my Qi deviate whenever I let my guard down while trying to ascend to a higher realm."

Alice paused for a moment and then she sipped her drink again.

".....But when I found out that Xiao Mei was actually being controlled by the female fox, I felt that the one chain that was holding my heart was broken. I felt relieved and everything became lighter. A lot of things happened then. Hey, Xiao Yun. I don't know when I can come here again. Therefore, let your teacher tell you a little about his experience. You used to love listening to my stories, right?"

Alice stopped for the third time. He glanced at the pile of stones beside him and then he gulped back down his drink.

Elysia saw the strange behavior of her mother who continuously gulped down the small urn. At first he did not know what liquid was in the urn, but after the wind blew and brought the sweet wry aroma of alcoholic beverages into his nose, Elysia immediately stood up and wanted to run to stop Alice.

Echidna quickly pulled Elysia's hand to stop her steps.

"Sister?! Why?"

"Sit. Mama needs time now."

Elysia was a little annoyed by her ignorance. With a bitter expression he looked at Echidna and turned to Alice.

Elysia bit her lower lip before she finally sat back down.

"I know how you feel. We are both in a dilemma because we can't do anything. I also wanted to help my mother, but seeing her current condition, I felt that she just wanted to be alone now. We'll be there if the situation is right."

What Echidna said is true.

Even though she looked like a little girl and Elysia always judged her by taking her food. But actually Echidna's thinking is very mature.

Dragons that have lived for thousands of years certainly have a lot of life experience.

"That's how.... Hows it? interesting right? I finally have my family here. They love me with all their heart. I'm sure they must miss me a lot right now, yeah, I miss them a lot too. But there's one thing that's disappointed me."

The jar in her hand had been empty, yet Alice felt it was not enough. He took the second small urn in the dimensional ring and took a sip of it until the drink inside was half left.

"I hate this. I want to forget everything. I've tried to forget everything about you. That pain continues to haunt me like a heart demon. I persevered, I tried to let go of my hatred, but I knew I couldn't escape my past. And.. when I felt that I could make it happen, you came to me again."

Alice sipped her drink once more until the jar was completely empty. He rubbed his lips slowly. He bent his knees up then leaned his face against his knees and turned to look at the pile of stones beside him.

Her pouting face reflected an ordinary young girl in general. "You come and say everything as you please. You changed that hate. Fate is really cruel in toying with my heart. I'm a crazy woman for having feelings for my own students. Heh. You must be upset, right? Again you hear me complaining and whining."

Alice breathed her long breath. "Right now I really want to get drunk and try to forget everything even if it's just for a day. It sucks."

As an Immortal Realm cultivator, his body was completely immune to light poison. Alcohol will not make him lose consciousness.

Alice laughed at herself.

The sadness swallowed itself.

His cultivation had already risen to the Immortal Realm realm but he still had this kind of regret, it was quite laughable. That's how he thinks.

Should I erase my memory?

Alice again took out a third small jar from her dimension ring. He had prepared a lot of drinks even though he knew that he would not be able to get drunk.

Like the moon and the sun

One in the west, one in the east

Destiny brought us together

Destiny separates us

This red thread is heartbreaking

The heart wants to break it but is afraid of losing it

When Alice wanted to gulp down the small urn, Echidna and Elysia quickly approached her. Echidna held her hand while Elysia hugged her tightly from behind.

"Mother...what happened to make mom this sad? Aren't we here?"

Alice jerks. The piling up anxiety really made him forget himself for a moment.

Alice looked at Echidna who was standing next to her and called gently to herself. "Mama...would you tell us?"

The grumbling face of her little daughter made her melt. Alice placed the small urn in her hand onto the ground.

He lowered his head slowly to avoid their gaze. "Sorry to make you worry."
