Chapter 2400: A Snarling Little Cutie
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The little one was tiny and she was so fragile. She cooed and reached out with her little arms, wanting to get closer to Irina. She pulled Irina out of her sadness forcefully and Irina was at loss over what to do at that moment.
She had almost never cared for a baby before. Amy was brought away shortly after she was born and she was already a well-behaved child when they were reunited.
Irina had no experience dealing with a little one that didn’t know anything, couldn’t speak and instinctively wanted to get closer to her.
The little one, who didn’t get any response from Irina after waving her hands at her, began to press her lips together. She looked so aggrieved and tears were welling up in her eyes as though she was going to cry at any time.
“D-don’t cry…” Irina quickly shook her head and pressed the little one to her. She caressed the little one’s head gently.
!!
She saw Mag caress Amy and Kiddo’s head frequently. The little ones seemed to like being caressed on their heads?
The little one rubbed against Irina’s soft bosom before enjoying Irina’s caress. She smiled comfortably. It was the taste of warmth.

Irina looked at the little one who soothed instantly, and softened her heart. She felt very accomplished, but she still flicked a glance at Mag. “He should be able to care for this little one very well, right?”
Mag came to the viewing stands. He took a look at the little one in Irina’s arms and softly asked, “What shall we do with this child?”
The little one looked at Mag when she heard him and snarled at him.
Oh, she only had four teeth, so she wasn’t fierce at all. Instead, she looked rather cute.
“She’s rather adorable.” Mag couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks.
Two faint red marks immediately appeared on her fair and tender cheeks.
The little one stopped snarling and looked at Irina with an aggrieved look, as though she was going to cry.
Irina didn’t pamper her, instead, she asked Mag, “What is that monster?”
“It should have come from Underground City. It’s not a monster, but a machine that was remotely controlled… It’s similar to the dwarves’ mechanism,” Mag answered telepathically.
Irina turned solemn too as she telepathically said, “Didn’t Underground City say they want nothing to do with us? Why are they sending people to snatch this child? Moreover, is the Underground City’s mechanism already this powerful? It actually could make a puppet mechanism that was way more powerful than a 10th-tier.”
“The peace between the two worlds is established on the basis that one is weak while the other is strong. If the gods start to reincarnate and grow up to be real gods, this balance will be broken.
“If there are enough gods on the Norland Continent, do you think that they would invade Underground City to fight for the chance to become a god?
“If you are the Underground City’s decision-maker, what would you do to prevent this scenario from happening?” Mag’s voice became grave. His mood also became grave.
Irina pursed her lips and kept quiet for some time. “If that’s the case, I would either bring these reincarnated gods away before they became real gods, or kill them.”
“Obviously, someone in Underground City has already received news about the gods’ impending reincarnation, that’s why it could appear here immediately.” Mag sighed. Be it their power or information, they were all behind Underground City. Things… were getting difficult now.
“Of course, Underground City’s mechanism isn’t commonly made to that standard. It should be an extremely rare mech.” Mag shook his head. The cost of making this mech would have been way higher than Xi’s battleship.
“I want to bring this child back because nobody in the Wind Forest can protect her,” Irina said to Mag calmly, but her gaze showed she was convinced on this matter.
After thinking about it briefly, Mag nodded. He turned to look at Sally, who was walking over. “But I wonder what Sally thinks about it?”
Sally came forward. She bowed to Mag before gratefully saying, “Mr. Alex, thank you for your assistance. You have resolved a crisis for the elven race.”
“You’re being too courteous, my queen.” Mag nodded before stepping to the side.
Sally said to Irina with reddened eyes, “My deepest condolences, Princess.”
“I’m fine. However, you will have to take care of this mess for quite some time.” Irina sighed lightly as she looked at the tree and vine that were leaning against each other. She felt her sadness had seemed to be much relieved.
“This child…” Sally looked at the little one in Sally’s arms.
“I intend to bring her away,” Irina said to her.
“Then, I’ll have to bother you to protect her.” Sally nodded before bowing to her.
The elven race almost failed to protect this child after they did all they could and lost their queen and high priestess.
The elven race now was simply too weak. They had no way to protect this child.
Just like the queen’s last wishes, at least Alex could protect this child if they let her go with Irina.
They didn’t know when that weird and powerful being would return again.
Irina nodded slightly and looked at Sally with an anticipating gaze. “Then, the elven race is now in your care. The Night Elves who want to come back, will return whenever the previous freedom is restored.”
“I will take care of them.” Sally nodded.
Mag whistled.
Howl—
A griffin moved closer. Mag and Irina got onto that griffin and flew away.
Mag sat on the griffin’s back as he told Irina, “Alright, you can teleport me back now.”
“Is it tiring to take on two identities at the same time?” Irina asked smilingly.
“It’s still alright and I felt weirdly great, just like a superhero.”

A light flashed and Mag returned to the battle scene.
Mag walked out from the adjacent room and lamented. “Phew. What an intense fight. Alex is really too powerful. He’s our example.”
“Hey? Boss, where did you go earlier?” Yabemiya asked Mag.
Everyone turned to look at him. He didn’t seem to have much of an existence during the battle.
Shirley was looking at Mag with a weird gaze. Where did he go? He was the man who beat up that monster.
“I was watching the show next door. The view there was better. You guys were too engrossed, so I didn’t call you guys along.” Mag found an excuse before saying, “I think we should go back now. The elven race has just gone through a catastrophe. We’ll be causing more trouble for Sally if we stay here.”
“Anyway, we have nothing to do today, why don’t we stay here to help. There are so many people who are injured and so many things to rebuild and debris to clear.” Yabemiya suggested.
“I concur,” Elizabeth said.
“I concur too.” Amy raised her little hand.
Everyone agreed with this suggestion.
“Since that is the case, let’s start moving now.” Mag nodded. He didn’t insist on leaving.
