After teaching the greedy little ghost a lesson, I turned back to look at Yalandan, and the spirit of gossip ignited again: "Grandma Yalandan, do you know what realm of power Grandma Akara is equivalent to?"

"I don't know this. Every prophet is a mysterious existence. No one knows where the bottom line is. Even if Akara is my student, I don't know. However, there is a connection between the power of the prophet and the adventurer.

Essentially different, it is difficult to compare which one is stronger and which one is weaker. In the long run, adventurers are naturally stronger, because you adventurers are stronger and have longer lifespans, but we are stronger and have shorter lifespans. I just

An exception."

"I really don't know whether it's right or wrong to let Lena be a prophet." Hearing what Yalandlan said, I felt happy and worried at the same time. I was happy that Lena would be able to protect herself in the future, but I was worried about her life span.

"Lena's qualifications are very high. She may not be worse than me and Akara in the future, but her current personality is not suitable for being a leader. I can see Akara's hesitation. She doesn't want to train Lena."

For people like her, Akala's only wish in life is to protect the entire alliance. No matter how much she sacrifices or how much she bears, she has no regrets. Although Lena also has a protective heart, she cannot do it like Akala.

Akela didn't want to force her cold and stubborn wish into Lena's heart. She probably felt that in addition to the Guardian Alliance, Lena should have other happiness. She had walked this road herself and knew this road.

The ups and downs and loneliness, I don’t want to let the second person go on.”

When he said this, Yalandan gave me a meaningful look, which made me feel a little guilty. My eyes wandered towards the window.

Why are you looking at me like this, as if Lena's lifelong happiness is related to me... Well, you can't deny it. After all, she is my sister. Because she is a sister, I have to take care of her and make her happy all her life. Yes.

, that must be the case.

"Grandma Yalandlan, I feel relieved when I hear you say this. I am very happy that Lena can be favored by Grandma Akala and become her student. The only thing I worry about is that Lena is so kind.

Grandma Kara will train her to be a cold leader. As an alliance elder, I know that the alliance needs such a leader. He cannot be indecisive or too kind. But as her brother, I don’t want to see Lena like this.

.”

"Hahaha, what a good brother. If Lena could hear what you said, she would be very happy and touched." Yalandan nodded sincerely and smiled.

"However, dear Wu, don't blame me for slandering my students behind my back again. Akara has this intention and is not willing to let Lena become like her. It is true that there is indeed love for Lena in it.

But the most important reason is not this. Otherwise, for the sake of the future of the alliance, no matter how much she loves and pities Lena, she will train her into a true and perfect leader without hesitation. And that important reason is

It’s up to you.”

"Me?" While mourning for Akara who was shot again, I pointed at myself with a confused look on my face, unable to understand what Yalandlan said.

"Well, because I have considered your factors, the future great elder of the alliance, the future savior of the alliance, which one is more important? This is a question. Obviously, Akara is leaning towards you, and she also knows that you don't want to see Lena become like that.

The leader considered your mood and did not do that."

"Do I have that much respect?" Hearing Yalandlan say this, I touched my nose with some uneasiness. I, who has always regarded myself as an errand boy in the alliance, would let Akara take care of me like this?

"Of course, haven't you discovered it yet? My dear Wu, since you and Lena met for the first time, the child has almost been living under your wings. Without you, she would still be the same person now.

Lying in the hospital bed, feeling the intertwining of day and night outside the window, the icy wind and snow falling, the poor werewolf princess, although her qualifications as a prophet are very good, many factors in terms of personality and body will make Akara hesitate, although Akara herself is

She is blind, but if she can, she doesn’t want to find another blind person to inherit her mantle. Only a healthy, complete and excellent successor can do more for the alliance, right?"

"That's what I say...but...I still can't imagine it."

Lena has been living under the protection of my wings? I subconsciously opened my arms and spread my wings to fly. Sure enough, I still can't imagine that my hands can turn into a pair of wings to protect Lena. Looking back on the past, it seems that she has always been smart, quiet and quiet.

Lena is comforting me, helping me, and giving me happiness. It is like a haven for the soul, and I have gained the attribute of sister control like a treasure. If we talk about Sarah and Vilas who appeared next to me at the beginning,

It allowed me to find spiritual support and gain the reason and motivation to live and fight in the Dark Continent. Then the girls who appeared later, including Lena, were pieces of guidance full of love and hope on my way forward.

Road signs, gas stations one after another.

So, I prefer to believe that Lena has been protecting me and giving me the motivation to keep working hard. How come it’s the other way around now that it’s in Yalandlan’s mouth? What have I done to protect Lena?

What happened? When she was about to be captured by the devil, did he suddenly stand in front of her like a brave man and drive the devil away? Or when she sprained her foot, did he fall from the sky like a prince and ride a white horse to deliver her?

destination?

Seeing the confused expression on my face, Yalandan laughed cheerfully again for some reason, and kept exclaiming, "What a happy brother and sister." What happened?

I looked at the little ghost inexplicably, hoping she could give me the answer.

"Even if you look at me with such pitiful puppy eyes..." The little ghost looked troubled.

"Just tell me, is what Grandma Yalandlan said is true? I have been protecting Lena?" Hoho, who looked like a pitiful puppy.

"I am the one who should ask questions. Why is Xiaofan still asking such idiotic questions now? Isn't it obvious?"

"I said it as if everyone knew that I was the only one who was being stupid."

"Xiaofan feels that he is not stupid. This is the most surprising thing." The little ghost complained, which made me look at the sky speechlessly. She reached out her cold little hand and touched my forehead.

"Don't give up on treatment. Let's go to Little Jelukana to get some medicine later."

"It sounds like I'm really sick." Besides, apart from birth control pills, expired birth control pills and Dali Pills, I really don't know what other stuff there is in the pornographic maid.

"Well, that means Lena also thinks so?" I touched my chin and lowered my head in thought.

"Another nonsense. Could it be that Xiao Fan can't see Xiao Lena's usual behavior?" The little ghost sighed and seemed to have given up on treating me. There is a saying that there is no cure for stupid people...

By the way, why do I have to complain about myself, you bastard!

So...has Lena always viewed me like this?

There is an indescribable and subtle feeling in my heart. I used to think that Lena's occasional outrageous behavior towards my brother was out of repayment. Now I heard Arlandlan and the little ghost say this. I feel more sure.

a feeling of.

Is that so? I seem a little disappointed, wait, am I expecting my sister to like me? Although this is indeed the ultimate dream of every girl control, but wake up, this is not the second dimension, man!

"I understand." I sighed. I was shocked and dejected.

"I see that Polygonum has an ugly face (Xiaofan doesn't understand it at all)." The little ghost took out a diamond at some point. He wiped it on the priest's robe, then held it and nibbled it together like a little squirrel.

While eating, he talked vaguely and babbling, which made me look cute.

"No, for this reason, no matter how stupid I am, I should understand. Lady Alice, how about you give your knight some confidence?" I looked at the little ghost helplessly. In her mind, what was my IQ?

How pitiful.

"Speaking like this is a sign that Xiaofan hasn't understood it yet." The little ghost didn't show mercy at all. He directly pulled out ten thousand sharp arrows and shot them through my blood-soaked heart.

"Yes, yes, I still don't understand. It's okay if you win."

"Wow! There's something awkward all of a sudden."

"There's no quarrel, I'm just unhappy about being looked down upon."

"So I'm not looking down on Xiaofan, I'm just stating a fact."

"Isn't this being looked down upon?" I stared at her face maliciously, as if I was reaching out to make a sneak attack, but the little ghost cleverly dodged her away.

"Okay, you two, although I want to get a bit of youthfulness, old lady, to make myself look younger, but if it's too strong, I won't be able to bear it." Yalandlan spoke up to smooth things over for us at the right time, and she laughed.

His eyes fell on the little ghost.

"Your Highness Alice, there is no need to give a special reminder. This is youth, isn't it? It's better to have a little more confidence in Lena."

"That's what I said, but from my standpoint, I would rather not give little Lena that much confidence." The little ghost showed a subtle expression, pouted her little mouth, and said that I was making trouble, but in fact it was herself.

Right.

But... what were these two people talking about just now? What did they mean? Is it a code word? I don’t know when they agreed on the code word? I was excluded?!

"Ahem, the topic seems to have gone too far. Going back to just now, Akara does not want Lena to become like her. In addition to worrying about your mood, she also takes into account your strength." Yalande.

Lan coughed several times and finally brought the topic to the right track.

"My strength factor?"

"Cold and ruthless, sometimes it is a choice made out of desperation. If you have enough strength, you can support Lena's kindness, right?"

"In other words, the stronger I am, the more choices Lena can make in the future?"

"That's exactly the truth."

I secretly clenched my fist, even if it is for Lena, I will continue to become stronger. Very good, the motivation is here, let’s break through the realm of world power today, just kidding.

"Akara believes in your strength and your potential. With your protection, Lena, as a leader, is much better than Akara. I think back when Akara accepted the Adventurer Alliance, she was really poor.

As a leader, she is so frustrated." When Yalandan said this, she shook her head and showed helplessness.

"I once heard Grandma Akara say that at that time, thanks to you secretly giving her some help, she was able to get through the difficult times." I showed my gratitude. This is the meaning of providing help in times of need.

"I can only provide Akala with the help I can in my own name. At that time, I did not have the courage to lead the entire elves to stand up and support the alliance." Speaking of this, Yalandan revealed.

With a gloomy look: "Not to mention anything else, just in the decades since Akala became the leader, how many people have died of freezing and starvation, and how many people have died tragically at the hands of demons. I am unable to save them. If I can provide more at that time

If you can help..."

"Grandma Yalandlan doesn't need to worry about it. After all, you have the entire elves behind you, and you are also responsible for the elves." Thinking of the bleak scene I saw in the first few years of coming to the Dark Continent, I felt a surge in my heart.

It's heart-breaking. Under Akara's leadership, things have gotten better little by little. If we go back a few years or decades, the alliance's situation will definitely be even more miserable.

However, this kind of thing cannot be blamed on Arlandran. As the great elder of the Elf clan, she naturally has to give priority to the survival of the Elf clan. The strength of the Elf clan has also increased in the past ten years. Artoria and the successors of the Twelve Knights

It was only after she was born that she achieved a qualitative change. Before that, she was running the elven clan that was still declining, and she really couldn't give our alliance much help.

"It's okay not to talk about these things." She gave up sadly and glanced at the sky outside.

"It's getting late. That's all I want to say to you today. I hope you and Your Highness Alice don't blame me for keeping this secret from you."
