How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

While Gil was feeling a little uncomfortable and had to join this "beautiful girls' tea party", a plate of macarons was pushed in front of him.

"My friend at the church has already told me when Elder Melm will leave. At best, he won't arrive until the next holiday at the academy."

"Unless Elder Melm uses magic instead of rushing as usual, but... I don't think Elder Melm would be that anxious~"

"Before Elder Melm arrives, I think we should first tell Gil about some of the 'problems' among the high elves. Let him understand why we want to fool Elder Melm so that we can better prescribe the right remedy~"

Jill nodded, right: he couldn't even eat a snack now.

Dean Luo Yi's nervous reaction was actually the part that puzzled him the most.

Since there is an opportunity, he naturally doesn't plan to hold it back.

"It's fine for me to act with you, but I at least want to know why the high elves behind you, Seraphim and Dean Roy, are clashing."

Not for curiosity.

But...

"That way, if the elder doesn't intend to let me go, I'll have an excuse to protect myself~"

Dean Luo Yi didn't seem to like this question. She just snorted and stretched out her little hand to the plate in front of him.

While showing off the snacks, he left the job of explaining to Seraphim. Compared to this cocky little girl, the Saint Lady, though a bit sinister, at least appeared gentle on the surface.

"In fact, I don't think it's really a 'conflict', Jill. Otherwise... it would only affect the stability of the high elves."

"The contradiction stems from our attitude towards elemental magic... As you can see, pyroxene magic is the most popular in the capital right now, while Dean Luoyi's elemental magic has fewer students and a smaller academy."

"This has made our church a little unhappy. After all, the church's purpose is to spread the faith of the high elves, and there are channels for this even in your human kingdom. However, Dean Roy... ahem, the royal family of the high elves opposes this."

Seraphim gave a wry laugh. "They're just old-fashioned people who like to hide their secrets. Our faith includes the foundation of elemental magic, and the royal family doesn't want the concept of this magic to spread too widely."

Is it just a secret?

Jill glanced at the needle.

"As a result, a conflict of ideologies arose between the church and the royal family. The elders have been mediating this ever since."

"But... mediation must have a result. Recently... perhaps it's time to make a decision, which is why everyone is so anxious~"

Seraphim's gaze turned to Roy across from her.

It seemed to be hinting to Jill: This was the reason why Dean Roy cheated before.

urgent.

145. Do you know the divine finger?

"Cut~"

It was indeed Dean Roy’s stubbornness that responded to Seraphim.

"Women in the church should preach to me less."

Differences in ideas and conflicting approaches led to a struggle between two factions within an ethnic group. As the son of a prince, this was not difficult for Jill to understand.

After all, similar differences existed within the Kingdom of Yalilo.

What puzzled him was Seraphim's actions.

"Then... Seraphim, after this academy festival, shouldn't the 'Church' behind you be in the upper hand?"

Jill asked under pressure, ignoring the "crunching" sound that Dean Luo Yi made after hearing the "keyword" of a certain four-word word, which sounded like grinding teeth.

"Why do you still take the initiative to ask for it and fool your elders?"

When Jill asked the question, several possibilities had already occurred to her mind.

Because of the treacherous behavior of the Elf Saint Seraphim against him before, he gave up the victory that should have been within his grasp and chose to fight with Dean Roy, who was already in danger of being "punished" due to the failure of the academy festival...

There had to be a deeper purpose, right? Just like approaching him before, it was all about lowering his guard so he could "take advantage of him."

Maybe he was deliberately doing Dean Luoyi a favor so that he could take advantage of her connections and abilities in the future?

In Jill's mind, he almost thought of Seraphim as an ambitious person who wanted to change his fate and replace the artifact.

However, Seraphim's subsequent response disappointed him greatly.

"Why? Um... because I don't want to go back?"

"Cough cough cough..."

"What's wrong, Jill? If you choke, drink some tea~"

Crossing her hands, Seraphim supported her chin, and admired his astonishment and embarrassment with satisfaction.

"Don't want to go back...what do you mean?"

"If I complete the mission the church has given me, then as the Elf Saint, I naturally have no reason to stay here any longer~"

Seraphim sighed softly. "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll leave after the academy's classes are over and return to our elven kingdom of Alvin. As for me... I don't really want to go back, so it's better to cooperate with Dean Luo Yi and delay a little bit."

After a pause, he added, "Jill, why do you look so disappointed? Do you really want to drive me away?"

"I'm not disappointed."

Jill frowned.

It's more like a strange feeling: like when a hero finally defeats a demon king after exhausting all his strength, and then asks the demon king why he wants to destroy the world...

The devil said, "Because it's fun~"

Outrageous yet plausible—Gill could only silently accept Seraphim's explanation. Or rather: Even if he had doubts at this point, the elf girl before him wouldn't let him find any evidence, right?

Moreover, Roy just watched silently throughout the whole process, without saying a word, and did not expose Seraphim's lies or anything else. Perhaps without his knowledge, the two of them had already reached some secret agreement.

As for the content, he was afraid that he would not be able to find out in a short time.

Because: After answering his doubts and telling him the importance of "fooling the elders", followed by Seraphim's sudden approach, the next step is the "important link".

If agreeing to "act" was like getting on a pirate ship, then he just signed his name!

The fragrance of the young girl wafted by, even more alluring than the fragrance of flowers that already filled the garden where the three of them were.

Under Dean Roy's wide-eyed gaze, Seraphim had left her seat and moved behind Jill.

The fullness of her chest pressed squarely against his shoulders, and she leaned out and turned her face to the side.

"Now that you, Jill, have learned the inside story of us high elves, then...isn't it time to demonstrate your special abilities?"

If it was just Seraphim harassing me, it would be fine—at worst, we could just take advantage of each other. Who's afraid of who?

But Dean Luo Yi is watching us!

Jill really didn't dare to move.

"Special...special skills?"

Playing dumb won't work, and you can't avoid what's coming.

"Those are the tricks you used before? Show them to us! Dean Luo Yi and I are both here."

As she said this, Seraphim's hands had already wrapped around Jill's neck like a water snake.

"Elder Melm is probably old enough to be your grandmother's grandmother, so if you don't perform well, she'll notice immediately."

"So, we have to rehearse the time, place, and how to do it in advance."

Jill didn't dare object.

Now he just felt that he was a young woman who was forced by gangsters to shoot animal videos, and the Dean Luo Yi in front of him was like the indifferent male actor with a huge penis.

And the Seraphim who was whispering in his ear now... was the director.

He even felt that Seraphim was not dealing with Elder Melm at all, but was just playing around.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Hmm... Dean Roy, I think it would be best if Jill could get used to you first. Like, your body... and so on~"

Seraphim loosened her hand, and "inspiration" came.

"Here, Jill, just pick up Dean Roy and do some bean-picking."

He looked around carefully and added, "No other tribesmen are coming in or out here right now, so you can try it without any worries."

It seemed like a great thing, but Gil could only play dead at the moment - Dean Roy in front of him was still lowering her head and not saying a word. He couldn't really pounce on her like a "goblin who had received an order to kiss the elf princess", right?

Not very good, I always feel like there is something wrong.

But Seraphim wouldn't let them go.

"What's wrong, Dean Luo Yi, are you feeling shy?"

Facing the elf loli's red face that was already drooping, he asked even though he knew the answer.

It was as if he was looking at Dean Luo Yi, who looked reluctant but helpless.

Gil felt he couldn't wait any longer: he finally realized that Seraphim was simply using him to toy with Dean Roy.

"Acting" might be true, but... there's no need for Seraphim to tell him what to do, right? Gil couldn't say if he had any talent for this kind of thing before, but now he's a complete pro.

It's not the first time.

So: Why listen to Seraphie? Even in front of Seraphie! Isn't this embarrassing for Dean Luo Yi? He has his own way.

Thinking of this, Jill spoke.

"Dean Luo Yi, this...this can be discussed in detail sometime alone, right?"

Then, he turned and looked at Seraphim.

"Seraphim, the main point of acting is a sense of mystery, so I think... you don't need to observe the whole process, right?"

"Vice versa, it's best for both of you and I to be alone."

146. It’s not you who fired me, but I who fired you!

When Jill finally got rid of Seraphim and left the residence of the sinister elf saint with Dean Roy, and set out on the way back, the crimson sky finally cast a layer of dim yellow on most of the capital.

It was considered "gentlemanly etiquette" and also a matter of following the trend. Although Jill could have just run away, he chose to send Dean Roy back to her college.

Otherwise, if Dean Luo Yi was left walking on the street alone, she would be treated as a runaway child by the security forces in the royal capital and protected.

At this moment, on the way to the Elemental Magic Academy.

The academy's remote location, coupled with the timing, meant the two of them didn't attract much attention along the way. Thanks to this, Jill at least wasn't mistaken for a "big brother who kidnapped little girls."

However, Dean Luo Yi's silence made him feel a little uncontrollable.

He thought: It’s all Serafiti’s fault for his “acting” plans. Now, the only communication between him and Dean Roy is “how he behaves like a hooligan”.

Just think about it.

So, perhaps to make the elf loli beside her feel less awkward, Jill said, "Dean Luo Yi, regarding the question of 'how should I cooperate with you in playing the role of the yellow-haired girl', you... you don't have to listen to Seraphim too much."

He finally understood: Seraphim just wanted to watch the fun and not mind getting involved!

"There's no need to go back to our previous relationship."

During the "yellow-haired period", Jill, under the system's requirements, would take advantage of Karen's absence and harass Dean Roy in various ways whenever he had the chance.

But there is no need to work so hard now - yellow hair is work, and reforming oneself is life.

"I'll just have to put on a show when Elder Melm comes into contact with you, so she doesn't misunderstand me, right? It's not necessary normally, right?"

Jill’s idea is very simple: acting is acting, but there is no need to “maintain the character” all the time.

In this way, Dean Luo Yi will definitely feel relieved: she won’t be harassed by him all the time.

For this elf loli, even if she knows it's just "acting", she will definitely still be unhappy, right?

As for him, he wouldn't be suspected by the two "little ancestors" in the dormitory because he had to perform all the time - Xilin and Luvilia were both from the Kingdom of Yalilo. If they agreed to the request of the high elves, they had to comply...

The secrets of these days definitely cannot be told.

However, Jill thought: There is no way that Dean Roy would refuse such a proposal that benefits both you and me, right?
