Chapter 914! Helping others is the basis of happiness
……
After a brief greeting, the priestess waved her hand, motioning Shen Ye and Jim to sit down, and then she personally poured them a glass of water.
"Thank you!"
After taking the cup of water, Shen Ye politely stood up and expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. You're Jim's friend, which means you're my friend. And from the first moment I saw you, I felt very cordial to you." The priestess said with a smile. Who doesn't like a polite child?
Moreover, it was not just because of Shen Ye’s attitude…
Priestess Niss then asked: "Shen, you are not a native of Rhodes Island, right?"
Out of politeness, Shen Ye had taken off the hood of his cloak when he came in. His short black hair and black eyes were very eye-catching. It was also because of Shen Ye's hair color that Niss was stunned when she saw him for the first time. Otherwise, how could a legendary hero lose his composure because of the appearance of a stranger?
The reason was simply that Shen Ye’s hair color reminded her of her missing daughter.
Lelia.
Her daughter Lelia, as well as herself, also have black hair.
Shen Ye had expected the priestess's question. He had already thought of an answer, so he nodded and said, "I came from the mainland. I took a boat for more than 20 days."
Niss, who had a better impression of Shen Ye because of his hair color and attitude, showed a hint of concern in her eyes: "More than 20 days...it must have been very hard."
Listening to Nisi's words that sounded like an elder's concern for the younger generation, Shen Ye felt a little uncomfortable, but still said: "It's okay, I'm so young, I'm not afraid of hard work."
"So you are suitable to be a warrior."
At this time, Jim suddenly interrupted, but Shen Ye and Niss ignored him.
"Yes, being young...it's great to be young." After hearing Shen Ye's words, a hint of sadness flashed across Niss's eyes again, as if she was recalling her youth.
After noticing Niss's eyes, Shen Ye shook his head slightly but didn't say anything.
After a while, Niss, who had just woken up from her memories, gave him an apologetic look: "Sorry, I was a little distracted."
"It's okay, ma'am." Shen Ye shook his head.
"Don't call me Madam. Just call me Niss like Jim does." The priestess also shook her head.
Then she asked: "Shen, do you plan to stay here for a while, or leave after living for a while?"
However, before Shen Ye could tell the difference between these two sentences, he heard Jim shout, "He's going on an adventure with me in a few days."
"adventure?"
Hearing this, Niss finally turned her attention to the white-bearded dwarf and asked with a frown: "Why?"
"No reason, I just want to take risks, that's all." The white-bearded dwarf said carelessly: "The main reason is that my body is almost rusted, I need to move around."
"That reason is not enough to convince me." A trace of sadness appeared on Niss's face. "Of course I know what you want to do, but if it's for Lelia, then there's no need. I've basically given up on her."
Hearing this, Jim did not say anything, but just listened quietly. He knew that Niss still had something to say, while Shen Ye just held the cup of water and drank slowly, looking at the two of them with eyes as if he was watching a CG scene.
“In fact, I don’t know how many times I have asked the goddess Marfa whether my daughter is dead or alive and where she is,” Niss continued, remembering the goddess’ response.
"What does the goddess say?" Jim asked as expected.
"A wonderful puzzle...still alive, but not existing." Niss said sadly: "I don't understand what this means, but the goddess didn't give me an answer. I think the goddess has her reasons for answering this way."
“Maybe.” The white-bearded dwarf sighed, then said firmly: “I don’t understand the meaning of this puzzle either. After all, dwarves are not good at this. But I have confidence in my strength and physical strength. Rhodes Island is only this big. One day I will bring that naughty boy back.”
"Don't force yourself. I've already said that I've almost given up." Niss smiled bitterly and said, "The hope is too slim."
The dwarf was not a good speaker, and after listening to what Niss said, he could only remain silent.
And Niss once again fell into sad memories when she mentioned her daughter Lelia.
After a long while, Shen Ye broke the silence in the back hall by saying, "Ms. Nis, you still miss your daughter, right?"
"Of course." The priestess nodded immediately.
"In that case, why not let Jim give it a try?" Shen Ye said with a smile: "How can there be hope if you don't try? As long as you try, even the slimmest hope is still hope, isn't it?"
"That's right." Jim nodded.
"Well... okay." Niss closed her eyes and nodded a few times, then said: "Then I'll trouble you, Jim, to bring the child, Lelia back!"
"Leave it to us without worry." Jim patted his chest and said, "We will definitely find her."
But Niss was stunned by his words: "You guys?"
"Yes, Shen is also an adventurer. He agreed to go on an adventure with me... uh, but looking for Lelia is also an adventure, right?" Jim looked at Shen Ye a little embarrassed. Most dwarves are not such shameless guys.
"Yes." Shen Ye nodded with a smile: "There is a saying in my hometown that helping others is the basis of happiness. If Ms. Nis needs it, I am quite happy to help."
Well, besides, Lelia is really worthy of his help...this is what he really thinks.
Of course, Niss didn't know about his little thoughts. She had always liked Shen Ye because of his hair color and attitude. Now after listening to what he said, she had an even better impression of him.
"Helping others is the basis of happiness... I like this sentence. The teachings of the goddess Mafa also include this." The priestess savored this sentence carefully, and then said to Shen Ye: "In this case, then I will trouble you."
"You're welcome." Shen Ye shrugged indifferently.
"Jim, when are you leaving?" the priestess asked again, but her eyes were looking at Shen Ye.
"Let's wait for two days. Seven years have passed anyway, so a few days won't make a difference. Besides, Shen just arrived, so at least let him walk around here." Jim said.
"That would be great." The priestess nodded, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then said to Shen Ye: "You just arrived, you probably haven't found a place to live yet, so how about you stay here for the next two days?"
Shen Ye: "Hmm..."
"Don't refuse, kid," added Nice.
"Okay then." Shen Ye stood up and nodded slightly to the priestess.
