Chapter 351: Chapter 351 – Reunion

“No, I’ll go meet him personally.”

Madam Schroder stopped the attendant. She took a glance at the playwrights that were currently engaged in discussion. Even though she could be said to be friends with all of them, she cannot guarantee that there wasn’t any spy for the Holy Church among them.

Following the attendant, Madam Schroder quickly left the theater. Upon going out, she saw a tall and robust silhouette standing by the entrance. His body was covered by a cloak of leaves. In a human city, his attire was extremely conspicuous.

“Elder Safran.”

Madam Schroder had met Elder Safran several times before. In Madam Schroder’s eyes, Elder Safran was equivalent to the Blackwood Elves’ diplomat.

Before Elder Safran could even say anything, sharp voices entered Madam Schroder’s ears. Those voices sounded so mournful, so very inhuman.

Upon hearing those terrifying voices, the surrounding attendants and guards immediately rushed over.

“I’m fine,” Madam Schroder waved her hand to signal them to stay.

“My apologies, Madam Schroder,” Elder Safran retrieved the originium crystal in his hand. That originium crystal was the source of those voices. “I am unable to determine if you or the people around you are Heresy Tribunal’s inquisitors in disguise. As such, I can only use this method for verification.”

“Heresy Tribunal’s inquisitors…” Madam Schroder’s expression immediately turned gloomy upon hearing those words, “Those sharp voices earlier, are they your method of distinguishing them, Elder Safran?”

“It is a small present from a benefactor that saved our race.”

After Elder Safran confirmed Madam Schroder to be ‘real’ using the originium crystal, he led her to a relatively remote room in the theater.

This was not a place arranged by the attendants. Instead, the Blackwood Elves had utilized their outstanding abilities to sneak themselves into this place.

“The Daughter of the Forest is waiting for you inside.”

Elder Safran opened the door for Madam Schroder. He showed no intention of entering the room. It seemed like he was planning to stand guard outside.

The World Tree of the Blackwood Elves was lodging in Gallolie’s body. This meant that she would become a top target of assassination for the Heresy Tribunal.

Farucci was different from Norland. In Norland, the power of the Holy Church has been practically completely suppressed by Joshua. But, it was different for Farucci. Elder Safran had no way to determine how many inquisitors had infiltrated into Farucci.

Right after Madam Schroder entered the room, before she could say anything, a figure leaped toward her and embraced her!

“Gallolie…” The instant Madam Schroder’s fingertips touched Gallolie’s hair, she recognized that it was really her daughter.

She immediately half squatted and placed her hands on Gallolie’s shoulders. Being away from each other for nearly half a month, she began to carefully examine her daughter.

“Mother, stop rubbing my face. I’ve been doing fine in Norland. Furthermore, I’ve been sending you reports about what happened during the day every night I’m there.”

Madam Schroder had only embraced her daughter for a short moment before she started rubbing her hands all over her cheeks. It seemed like she was trying to confirm with her hands whether her daughter suffered any injuries.

“You’ve always been a child that would try to act brave. Even if Mister Joshua is looking after you in Norland, it’s still impossible for me to believe in the messages you sent through the magic network to be real.”

Although Madam Schroder was feeling extremely emotional, she was resisting her tears. After a brief embrace, she immediately returned to being Gallolie’s strict mother.

“They’re all real,” Gallolie shifted her eyes away in a somewhat guilty manner.

After Madam Schroder gently pinched her daughter’s cheeks again, she said, “Gallolie, have you been staying up late into the night in Norland? Furthermore… you’ve not controlled over what you’ve been eating, right?”

Madam Schroder was able to detect any minute change to Gallolie’s body. She was immediately able to tell that the Black Swan has been living lazily in Norland.

“Eh, it’s only a couple days. I’ll change my sleep schedule back! Mother!”

The joy of the reunion was completely swept clean by Madam Schroder’s criticism. Gallolie lowered her head in fear of facing her mother.

However, the expected punishment did not arrive. Instead, she received a warm hug.

Gallolie was once again embraced by Madam Schroder.

“No matter what, Gallolie, it’s all good that you’ve returned…” said Madam Schroder with a soft and gentle tone.

“Mn… I’m back, mother.” Gallolie also replied with a soft voice.

Elder Safran and Monica, the two Blackwood Elves standing guard outside, were quietly watching the reunion of the mother and daughter.

“Elder Safran, is she our Holy Tree?” Monica was able to sense a vigorous amount of vitality from Gallolie.

Originally, her powers have been declining ever since the Holy Tree wilted. Recently, she even caught a cold by standing guard at night.

Rarely do the Blackwood Elves get sick. But, Gallolie’s arrival had dispersed all the feeling of weakness from Monica’s body.

“The Holy Tree has chosen her. The journey to Norland has convinced us that the Holy Tree’s decision was correct. As such, no matter what, we must protect the Daughter of the Forest,” said Elder Safran.

Elder Safran did not contain the volume of his voice when saying those words. Both Madam Schroder and Gallolie were able to clearly hear him.

“Elder Safran, I wish to have Gallolie continue to accompany you all.”

Madam Schroder resisted her longing for her daughter and promptly decided on the most beneficial decision for Gallolie.

“Mother…”

“Farucci is not stable right now. I do not know how many people around us are planning to harm you,” said Madam Schroder, “Thus, Gallolie, let us conceal the news of your return for now. We will determine what to do once things stabilize.”

Madam Schroder tidied Gallolie’s clothes. She was wearing a simple male attire. Evidently, Gallolie had disguised herself before returning to Farucci.

“But! I wish to participate in the making of the new movie!” said Gallolie.

“New movie?”

“Mister Joshua handed me a new script. He said that he hopes that he will be able to cooperate with mother. Furthermore, he said that this movie is a… big production.”

“Big production… Gallolie, where is the script? Did Mister Joshua give you the screenplay for the movie?”

Even though Madam Schroder was inclined to adapt a classic from Farucci, she must also admit that Joshua’s scripts were exceptionally outstanding too.

Whether it be ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale’ or ‘Léon: The Demon,’ they were both touching stories. Of the three movies Joshua had created so far, Madam Schroder believed that ‘Beauty and the Demon’ was already a ‘big production.’

“The script is here, Madam Schroder.”

Gallolie’s bodyguard, the Blackwood Elf Flay, appeared from the darkness and handed a very large envelope to Madam Schroder.

Once Madam Schroder received the envelope, the thickness actually made her feel a momentary loss of balance.

Exactly what was contained in there?

Madam Schroder remembered that the script for ‘Léon: The Demon’ was only a pile of papers filled with words. Clearly the envelope contained more than only the script.

There was no signature on the envelope. But, on the center of the envelope was a series of english characters. It seemed like the name of a certain creature.

“Avatar,” Madam Schroder pronounced this word with the unknown meaning. She felt the urge to immediately open the thick envelope.
