Chapter 553: 514 Why do I kind of feel like hitting someone?

"You... what are you doing?"

Watching Shane playing so joyously with a group of fairies, Carol eventually spoke up.

Only then did Shane notice Carol’s arrival.

"What, it’s just you."

Shane responded with a pout, yet he didn’t stop frolicking with the fairies.

Hearing Shane’s words, which seemed as if he didn’t want to see her, Carol subconsciously wanted to get angry.

But then, she gave up, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the irritability in her heart, and approached Shane with a composed face.

"Children, you go play by yourselves for a bit."

Carol gently addressed the numerous little fairies around Shane.

"————"

The fairies began to stir slightly, seemingly reluctant.

This made Carol look at Shane with a complicated gaze.

"Don’t look at me like that." Shane clarified without hesitation: "They came here to play on their own, I didn’t kidnap them."

"I know." Carol replied, as if speechless: "I didn’t say you kidnapped them."

"Really?" Shane didn’t feel reassured, but instead asked: "Given the style of your Elf Clan, shouldn’t you suspect that I, an alien male, did something?"

"You..." Carol really felt this man was too good at provoking anger; despite her deliberate control, she was almost set off by his taunts.

At that moment, all Carol could do was to utter a stiff voice.

"I’ve said it before, the Magic Power and aura you emit are very attractive to our Elf Clan and these fairies, so the arrival of the fairies, not only did I guess it, but Her Majesty the Queen has guessed it too."

In other words, they were not surprised by it.

Of course, Carol didn’t mention that although she had guessed that the fairies would be attracted by the Magic Power and aura from Shane, she did not expect these naturally timid and shy fairies to gather around Shane so unabashedly and play with him.

She believed the Elf Queen had not expected this either.

This was the real reason for Carol’s surprise when she came here and saw this scene.

At the same time...

"I want to know if you have done anything to them?"

Carol couldn’t help but ask out loud.

Now it was Shane’s turn to be at a loss for words.

"Didn’t you just say you weren’t suspecting me, and now you’re asking if I did something to them?"

Did this Vice Division Commander of the Elf Corps misunderstand the term "suspicion"?

"No, I’m not questioning you, I’m just surprised," Carol shook her head, looked straight at Shane, and said, "I can feel that these children’s Rebirth Period seems to have been shortened."

"Rebirth Period?" Shane didn’t understand.

"It’s the time for a fairy to transform into an elf," Carol explained: "All fairies born from Nature have a period to grow into elves, which our Elf Clan calls the Rebirth Period."

When he arrived in the Elf Country, Merica also said that fairies born from Nature would play in the human world while absorbing Magic Power from Nature. After tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, they would develop wisdom and intellect and transform into human forms by relying on the Magic Power they had been absorbing to become elves.

This period from the growth of a fairy to an elf was referred to as the Rebirth Period.

And, depending on the individual, the Rebirth Period of fairies is completely different; some have only tens of years, some hundreds of years, while others may need thousands of years.

The shorter this time is, the stronger the innate talent and nature of the individual, closer to Nature itself, with astonishing Magic Power and a pure elf bloodline.

"Do you know why the Elf Royal Family is different from the general Elf Clan?" Carol stated: "It is because the Rebirth Period of the Elf Royal Family is very short, so short that not only do they develop human-like wisdom, but they also derive a trace of godliness from Nature itself during gestation, thereby possessing tremendous Magic Power and a pure bloodline."

Because the world was created by the Supreme God Ominis, Nature was created by the Nature Goddess Nadura, and during the transformation of some exceptionally gifted fairies into elves, they could draw a trace of divine power and godliness from the essence of Nature, becoming beings close to the Divine Race, akin to demigods.

Such beings are the Elf Royal Family.

Therefore, the status of the Elf Royal Family within the Elf Clan is so high and so special.

In a sense, they are the children of the Nature Goddess Nadura, or avatars, with Magic Power and bloodlines that are very pure, very close to the divine lineage of the goddesses.

Unfortunately...

"The conditions for the birth of the Elf Royal Family are very harsh." Carol sighed and said, "According to the records, since the birth of the Elf Clan, there have only been three from the Royal Family."

This number, it must be said, is very small.

So small as to be frightening.

But perhaps, that is normal?

"Queen Sophie has lived for thousands of years, before her the two members of the Elf Royal Family lived for even longer," Shane shrugged and said, "And how many years are there in the history of the Elf Clan? Isn´t having only three Elf Royals quite normal?"

That’s the way of it.

Long-lived species are just that, their concept of time and form are fundamentally different from humans.

Three Elf Royals, even if one only lived for five thousand years, in total they all would have fifteen thousand years.

Fifteen thousand years of history is enough to span the entire lifespan of Omni Potanssen, right?

After all, Ai Yi once mentioned that she has lived almost ten thousand years from birth to now, and Lilith has also been born for about ten thousand years, where one is a Demon second only to the demon king, and one is an Upper-level God next to the Supreme God and the Three Great Goddesses, both can be considered as some of the earlier lives to appear in this world.

The birth of the Elf Clan, even if earlier than these two, was probably not much earlier, at most tens of thousands of years, right?

Tens of thousands of years have seen the birth of three royals who occupied at least fifteen thousand years of the Elf Clan’s history. Considering the lifespan of the Elf Clan, even if it cannot be considered many, it cannot be considered few either.

"Maybe," Carol didn’t deny it but looked straight at Shane, saying, "What I want to discuss isn’t that, but what you did to shorten the fairies’ rebirth period."

What did that imply?

It meant that Shane had a way to quickly transform fairies into elves.

For the Elf Clan, this was no small matter.

"If there’s a way to shorten the fairies’ rebirth period, then the birth rate of elves can also increase, augmenting the sparse population of the Elf Clan, making them stronger and more prosperous."

"Moreover, the shortened rebirth period would also significantly enhance the talents and magic power of the resulting elves."

"What’s more, if we could facilitate the birth of the Elf Royal Family in this way, the enormous help it would provide to the Elf Clan goes without saying."

Carol looked straight at Shane, making him feel somewhat uneasy inside.

But Shane also understood why this fastidious Vice Division Commander became so unexpectedly good-natured.

It wasn’t that she stopped caring about Shane’s taunts, but that her mind was completely occupied by this astonishing matter, with no room left for anything else.

Had it been someone else, they probably wouldn’t have been able to contain their excitement and would have jumped for joy, only elves by their naturally kind, pure, and indifferent nature could show such restraint.

"This..."

Shane was a bit baffled.

What’s happening?

He merely fed some magic power to these fairies, and it had such a significant impact?

Could it be that he really was the chosen one?

... Nonsense, right?

Shane could only shift his gaze, looking at the fairies around him.

The fairies sensed Shane’s gaze and thought he wanted to feed them magic power again, to play with them. They flew over one after another, gathering around Shane again, looking both excited and happy.

Shane instinctively wanted to release magic power.

But in front of him, Carol was still watching like a hawk, making Shane a bit worried.

(If this person finds out that my magic power is the reason for shortening the fairies’ rebirth period, will I be treated like a daily squeeze machine, being drained to contribute to the reproduction of the Elf Clan?)

That thought scared Shane.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid that the Elf Clan would treat him badly.

With the strength of the Elf Clan, he was not without the power to resist, no need for vanity.

The real fear was that the other party wouldn’t opt for a confrontational approach but would choose a softer one.

Would he be able to withstand that?

Shane wasn’t confident.

He was not one of those protagonists who could keep his composure in the face of temptation.

Facing a race like the Elf Clan, full of pretty and cute girls, if they attempted to seduce him, Shane was sure that he would fall instantly.

Honestly, he was a very normal man, unable to resist the allure of beauty.

If they didn’t actively tempt him, he could steer clear due to the nuisance, much as he did when he first encountered Vivian’s Team and Luoqi.

But what if they actively flirted with him?

Then he must mention Tielle, who was exceptionally proactive and now had Shane completely smitten.

So please forgive him, for he was a very normal man, and also quite pitiable.

If the Elf Clan were to use that tactic, Shane felt that the chance of him succumbing to their charms and living a life of debauchery would be about 99.99%.

(I knew I wasn’t the protagonist!)

Shane’s self-assessment was crystal clear.

To fulfill a role like that of the protagonists in the novels from his previous life, seeing through worldly temptations, gaining enlightenment, and achieving supreme realms, was nothing but nonsense.

So...

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Shane faced Carol with a serious expression.

"Don’t know?"

Carol was taken aback.

"That’s right," Shane said earnestly, "look at me, do I look like someone capable of that?"

Hearing this, Carol stared at Shane.

After a long moment, Carol sighed.

"Indeed, you don’t look like it."

Carol muttered, very disappointed.

"..."

Shane remained silent.

Although this was the outcome he wanted...

Why did he feel like hitting someone?
