BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234 Who Got Scammed And Who Got Conned?
This phrase remained the same even after Eli tried multiple ways to approach her search through the book of knowledge.
That meant that this was the only thing that the heavens could tell her and that it would be her task to unveil the rest.
With this, Eli knew that it was ok for the book to be out of her hands for a while. She will be focusing on training anyways.
"Good, with this I can go back with my godson to my realm. Don\'t lose the token I just gave~~" Sylvian playfully waved his fair hands and asked them to say their goodbyes to Little Han.
Just as he was about to set off to the guardian realm, Eli let her pride down and gathered up all her courage to ask the Guardian Sylvain,
"Great Guardian, I would like to know… You know the responsibility and blessing you gave to me.. But I am only a single person. May I ask, how could I use this to help the people in the land?"
Sylvain looked at Eli, studying her expression. She was clenching her fists tightly and her dark midnight eyes reflected nervousness and uncertainty.
Clearly, she understood their role as guardians of the land yet she was still gambling about the fact that he would give her some clues that would not make the heavens angry.
He helplessly looked at the couple, who were not aware how the restlessness brought by the matters in the capital had shown to their faces and complexion. The couple tried their best and were almost at their limits - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
"You can do it. Just think about the ways the Great One always gave the warmth of the sun, the cool of wind, the shine of the moon, and provision of the rain, to both the righteous and the wicked…" Sylvain replied mysteriously.
As he said these words, he had already carefully taken Little Han in his arms while walking towards a portal that suddenly conjured in front of him.
"That\'s the only thing I could help you with… For you have to overcome this test alone. This is for you to get ready for the even greater endeavor to come." He mumbled these words as he stepped towards the array and disappeared.
Of course, the last sentence he no longer said aloud.
Eli and Leon watched as the two slowly disappeared to the light in a daze. They burned the image of Little Han looking back at them with dependence in his eyes while waving his hands and mumbling, "Mommy.. Daddy… ba baiii…"
The light in the room gradually disappeared and so was the light in Leon and Eli\'s heart. They were sure now that they had sent Little Han away, their family of three had really temporarily separated.
But even though it\'s temporary, for parents like Eli and Leon, it caused them a deep sense of loss and distress. Little Han was the apple of their eyes. Though he may not be called the fruit of the love between the two of them, he was the one that binds their love stronger.
To them, his mere existence changed their very own lives and their view of the world which was previously bleak and dark.
Leon held Eli\'s trembling body. He was as broken as her, but he has to stay strong for Eli as well. This is what it means to become a father. For him, he had to be the strong pillar that allows the family to stand strong.
Eli also held her emotions, she took a deep breath and looked at Leon gratefully. She knows that she couldn\'t break down now, they were still in the Silver Dew Village.
The two slowly adjusted their moods and exited the inner hall calmly.
Upon seeing that it was only the two of them who exited, everyone had already understood what had happened.
Marvel and wonder crept their hearts, for this was their first time witnessing the Protector Sylvain directly take away an inhabitant of the land.
But they didn\'t ask much, as they were afraid that what the two talked with the guardian was something that they were not allowed to know of.
Elves are intelligent and sensible creatures. They could clearly read the mood of the couple and silently left the hall, only leaving the Chief Eirllon, Azayn and Koehthar.
Azayn patted Eli\'s shoulder in comfort as she mumbled, "Although it\'s a pity that we were not really able to take care of Little Han, you could be rest assured about him being in the arms of the Protector."
Chief Eirllon and Koehthar also expressed their comforting words. After exchanging a few more words, Eli and Leon were escorted back to the teleportation array to go back to the capital.
As soon as they reached the Capital, they immediately headed out to the temple to resume their duties. They have no time to dilly dally because they have no idea on how much remaining time they have until the enemies react.
–
Meanwhile, Sylvain was grinning from ear to ear while stepping out of the portal.
"Yay!! Sylvain successfully kidnapped our godson!!!" Zale immediately appeared from the lake and circled excitedly around Sylvain who was holding Little Han protectively.
He was even talking gibberish to Little Han appearing as if he was conversing with him, much to Little Han\'s confusion.
"Sush! You brute! You\'ll creep out my godson! Shoo shoo! Stay away, lest Little Han pick some of your weird habits!" Sylvain disdainfully avoided Zale and walked towards the area they all prepared for Little Han.
If Eli was here, she would be shocked to see that there was a plushie playground prepared for Little Han. Her face would be also twitching because she would see items that obviously came from the modern world, all prepared for Little Han!
Baby formulas appropriate for an eight month old baby, a walker, a convertible crib, a baby stroller, BPA free sets of baby bottles and many more!
They even have magically installed a baby monitor!
Eli would surely exclaim, "Isn\'t this cheating?!!"
"Awww my godson is here!!!" Celeste appeared through her usual majestic entrance, while Amihan and Ignis also followed.
Feeling superior because he was the first one to be close to Little Han, Sylvain smuggly looked at the four other guardians and used his relationship with Little Han to establish his authority, "Little Han, these are all your godmas and godpas.. This is godma Celeste…"
Sylvain patiently introduced everyone to Little Han and allowed him to mention their names one by one.
Little Han was obedient and followed Sylvain\'s instruction, successfully capturing the hearts of the other guardians.
"Kya!!! My godson is so cute~! Celeste exclaimed in delight seeing Little Han smiling at them adorably.
"Uhn! Uhn!" Amihan repeatedly bobbed her head in agreement. Her small index fingers sneakily traveled towards Little Han\'s chubby cheek and gently poked him.
"Jihiheee!" Little Han seemed to like Amihan\'s boop as he flashed a carefree smile towards her.
Amihan shyly blushed and hid her contented smile.
Zale and Ignis also kept praising how Little Han was so good looking.
"As expected of my godson, he is as good looking as me! When he grows up, he will surely be half as handsome and awesome as me!" Zale proudly declared.
"What\'s running in him is the Seirende blood, whom had been blessed by yours truly!" Ignis retorted, clearly intending to take the credit for Little Han\'s appearance.
"No! He took that handsomeness from me! I blessed her mama too! Some of my awesomeness might have been absorbed by him!" Zale insisted, not wanting to let Ignis take the credit.
Little Han still didn\'t understand why he was here and why the two godpas argued in his presence. However, it must have been because he was often taken care of by the Forgeworns and Faraulds elders that he still not realized that he would not be able to see his parents for a long time.
"Amm.. Amm.." He grumbled in discomfort, looking at Sylvain with a dependent look, pouting his face like an aggrieved child.
"Oh… my little godson must be hungry already…" Sylvain mumbled and asked Celeste, "Didn\'t you specifically train to rear for a child, come let\'s prepare his milk!"
"Sure, let\'s go!!" Celeste immediately took the baby formula and the equipment to make milk for Little Han. They even have the burner for heating Little Han\'s water and sterilizing his things.
"Ermm wait, I didn\'t train how to operate the burner…" Celeste looked at the rest embarassedly.
"Shall I provide the fire?" Ignis offered help, conjuring fire in his hands.
"No! You\'ll burn the whole thing!" Zale frantically objected.
"Sigh.. I knew we would be in trouble somehow.." Sylvain helplessly watched the clueless guardians and snapped his fingers. "Luckily, I took the chance to get this book so that we can search immediately for situations like this!"
The book of knowledge suddenly appeared. Its appearance lightened up the eyes of the rest of the guardians.
"You truly have scammed the young one this time!!!!" They all exclaimed.
