Chapter 339 The Will Of The Holy Godmother
The skies seemed very sunny with tall trees with pink and orange fruits that seemed similar to a peach but not one. Large mountains were filling up the backdrop of this beautiful land while the air couldn’t feel more pure and refreshing. Even a criminal who stepped in here would forget about committing crimes for a while and get their mind sucked in by the beauty of this place.
And in the far-middle, there was a gigantic, beautiful tree that seemed to extend into the skies to the point Viktor couldn’t even make out how tall it was even after looking up. It was truly an amazing sight.
However, another sight that made him feel astonished was the dozens of red and white toadstool houses, some very tiny and some of gigantic sizes like a house, even having windows and doors.
And from the tiny houses, a couple of pixies meekly peeked out just like the fairies peeking out from the large-sized toadstool houses while some were peeking out from behind the flowers and trees, looking at him with a timid and curious expression.All of them had ethereal wings and adorable doll-like pretty appearances that could put not only men but even women in a daze, wondering how such living things could look and feel so harmonious with the beauty of nature.
Their big pretty eyes were blinking as they silently peeked at Viktor, scanning him from top to bottom as if they had never seen a man up close.
Viktor wasn’t someone who became self-conscious, especially if beauties were staring at him, but the curious and intense gazes of these beautiful and cute winged beings were making him feel a bit awkward, though he found it amusing.
He couldn’t help but feel that he had never come upon beings cuter than them, and he could see how simple-minded they all seemed, even including the three mischievous pipsqueaks.
’I bet any man would give their soul to the devil to die in a place like this…’ Viktor inwardly sighed, seeing all these otherworldly beauties gathered in a single place that itself looked ethereal and pure beyond anyone’s imagination.
By now, he was truly confused in the sense that he could guess that no men lived here, especially when he didn’t spot one even after coming here. But then how the heck did the Fairy Queen become the mother of all these beings?
’Can people create kids through magic? I bet someone would be interested…’”Honey, do you see that big tree over there in the middle? That is the Tree of Life where the famous Fruit of Youth is borne. If you eat one, then you will gain 10,000 years of lifespan, and any existing ailments or injuries would be healed,” Talia eagerly whispered to Viktor, who couldn’t
help but feel shocked upon hearing this.
If he was able to somehow pluck this fruit and give it to Taya, wouldn’t she be able to live at least 10,000 years? At least, that will be way more effective than the life extension plan Nyissa proposed, which would at most give Taya a few more dozen years since she was only an ordinary human.
Talia’s eyes glinted, seeing how Viktor’s expression changed, “Oooh, you seem interested? But don’t get your hopes up. Only such fruit gets borne every 1000 years, and the Fairy Queen will not give it to anybody else since the fruit is the only source of food for all the fairies and pixies here. So if someone steals them and doesn’t return, then most of them will die from starvation, and even the Fairy Queen wouldn’t be able to keep the realm safe and protected within a few centuries. And if that happens, who knows what kind of fiends and evil beings will come to pillage and destroy this beautiful realm.”
Viktor was baffled hearing that as he whispered back, “All these beings survive on a single fruit? How is that possible?”
Talia giggled as she whispered in his ear, “You have no idea, hehe. I only told this to you so that you won’t get any bright ideas on stealing from these poor things. Otherwise, my mother will kill me before the Fairy Queen can kick me out. Since I brought you here, I have to take responsibility for you as well.”
Viktor raised one of his brows as he said, “And who is the culprit who brought me here? I bet you would have got punished if not for you being close with the Fairy Queen.”
Talia gave a slight bewitching smile as she said, “Oh, honey~ I might be the one who brought you here, but you don’t seem like wanting to leave either. So tell me…what kind of mischief are you up to?”
’This vixen is more perceptive than I thought…’ Viktor indeed didn’t want to leave before exploring things and trying to find out about certain things since he might not get this chance to be here again, especially after hearing how outsiders are not allowed here usually.
”Mischief? What makes you think I am like your little three friends over there? I just want to appreciate this place a bit longer,” Viktor said with a smile, making Talia look at him skeptically.
”Hey! Were you saying something bad about us?” Miri suddenly hovered before Viktor’s face with crossed arms and a peeved expression. She was also joined by her two little friends, who also looked at Viktor with a petulant expression.
”Maybe?” Viktor said with a shrug, trying to make them mad for fun.
”Youuuu!! Allmother, this bad wolf is bullying us,” Miri cried in an aggrieved tone, making Seraphina say in a gentle, sweet voice, “Be nice, Miri. I know everything you have been up to. You really have been too mischievous recently. You shouldn’t set a bad example for your sisters.”
Miri’s expression froze when she heard her words and silently hovered behind, feeling her cheeks burn.
Seraphina turned around as they reached a big yet comfy toadstool house that was at least as tall as a three-storied house but not that wide.
She then turned around and said, “This is the place I have prepared for you to stay. I know you didn’t expect to come to a place like this but can I request you to stay here for a while? This is the will of our beloved Holy Godmother, and I can only convey her will to you while it will be up to you to decide. However, no matter what your decision will be, I promise to send you back to your home.”
Hearing her words, all the pixies and fairies listening to their conversation had shocked expressions, and even Talia had a blinking expression.
