Who told him to rush up there?.

Surprise! What a big surprise...

How long has he been away from home? A month? They even have a child...

If Eli hadn't seen that the child was at least five or six years old, he would have been so angry that his hair would turn green.

"This is?"

Eli was a little hesitant, not knowing whose child this unfamiliar-looking child belonged to. In the moment he was puzzled, the three elves and Thor who were following him had already passed him and pounced on the little girl.

“Oh my god, so cute!”

"Are you Eli's daughter? Call me mom."

"Can I hold you for a moment? Just for a moment."

The cute little girl was enjoying the love of her older sisters, but suddenly, several new sisters came over from outside. Only one of them looked familiar, and the others were all strangers.

A little girl of this age is either afraid of people or clingy, but she is different from ordinary children. She looks at so many older sisters and is not afraid of any of them, but she doesn't cling to any of them either.

Instead, when she saw Eli who was left behind by them, the little girl's big eyes suddenly lit up, and then she immediately used all her strength to break free from her sister Eleanor's arms. After landing, she broke through the encirclement and pounced towards Eli.

"Brother~~~"

As she ran, the little girl called out in a baby voice. Eli was stunned at first when he heard the childish voice, and then he remembered that there was only one person in the family... no, there was only one dragon who called him like that.

“Alyssa?”

"Paji."

When Eli called out the little girl's name, Alyssa had already jumped onto Eli, first hanging on firmly like a little koala, and then climbing up with all her strength, apparently wanting to climb onto his shoulder and sit on it.

But Eli obviously didn't intend to let the baby get on top of him, and when Alyssa just climbed to his chest, he put his hands on Alyssa's armpits and lifted her up high.

"Hehe, big brother, lift me up high~~"

The little girl Alyssa smiled happily, her two short legs swinging leisurely in the air. She hadn't seen her favorite brother for a long time. Now seeing him come home, Alyssa was really happy.

"What's going on? How old is Alyssa? She has already transformed?"

Eli had just returned from the Dragon Kingdom when he discovered that the baby dragon he raised at home had suddenly turned into a little girl. Logically speaking, dragons can only transform into human form after reaching a high level, so all baby dragons should look like dragons.

Children of other races will have a loli period, but dragons do not. This is because if they can transform into humans, they are almost certainly adults. Even if there are some gifted geniuses, they should be at least fifteen or sixteen years old when they transform.

A young dragon girl form like Alyssa's current one shouldn't exist at all. After all, even Eli, who was reborn and grew up rapidly by eating and drinking, couldn't accomplish the feat of reaching a high level in his childhood.

But Alyssa did it. Alyssa, who is 18 years old this year, should be the age of a three-year-old human child, but she now looks like she is five or six years old. Of course, this doubled age is not the point. The point is that although this little girl in front of him has a baby voice and is held high by him, under Eli's focused perception, her aura of up to the seventh level cannot be concealed at all.

It would be fine if Cecilia and Jessica suddenly became much stronger. After all, they were the daughters of destiny, so it was no wonder that they encountered such adventures. But what happened to this little girl Alyssa? Did she eat something dirty that caused a genetic mutation?
An 18-year-old reaching the seventh level would be considered a natural talent even for a human, but for a dragon... I'm afraid even a true god of the dragon clan wouldn't be able to do it at her age...

Therefore, Alyssa's exaggerated changes could not be described even by miracles, and Eli could not find any words to express his surprise.

"Alyssa became smaller because she ate a sister."

Although Alyssa looks only five or six years old, she is very smart. She has no problem communicating with adults and is already a smart kid.

"Who did you eat?"

Eli was stunned when he heard this. Alyssa had quite a few sisters, but each of them was his wife. How could a child eat that? Unless he was the one eating like that...

"Well, she couldn't digest the food and vomited it out... Eli, don't worry about it for now. Shouldn't you introduce these people to us first?"

This time it was Princess Lina who spoke. Although she was not the eldest lady of this new family, she had held a ceremony with Eli after all, so when she saw the newlyweds coming in, she had to ask about it.

"Uh...that's right, you guys come here."

Eli pondered for a moment, remembering that this was the first meeting between the new and old wives, and he should introduce them to each other so that they could better integrate together.

"This is Luna, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Elf Empire. The Elf Queen has betrothed her to me."

"This is Lina, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Dawn Empire. His Majesty the Emperor has betrothed her to me."

Eli first introduced the two princesses from different empires to each other. Under his guidance, the man and the elf shook hands to show their friendship.

"This is Wendy. You should know her. I won't introduce her any further. Anyway, she has been promised to me by the Elf Queen."

"This is Evelyn, a noble lady from the Undead Principality and a necromancer."

"Then this is Klia, the captain of the royal guard of the Elven Empire, who was promised to me by the Elven Queen."

"This is Eleanor, the princess of the dwarf kingdom, the little cutie of the family... oh, now she's the big cutie."

"This is Lily, the high priestess of the elves, who was sent by the Elf Queen." "This is Cecilia, and this is Jessica. There's no need to introduce them. Just know that they were the first people to be bound to me."

"This is Thor, the former princess of the Dragon Kingdom. I just kidnapped her from the Dragon Kingdom."

"This is Alyssa, my beloved...my beloved little darling, an eighteen-year-old young dragon."

Because there were many people, elves and dragons present, Eli was busy for a long time even if he just gave a simple introduction to each person. Although he could have given a more detailed introduction, there was no need.

After all, everyone will be living together in the future and have plenty of time to get to know each other. Instead of spending too much time introducing them to each other, it is better to let them experience it themselves.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello……"

After Eli's brief introduction, the two generations of newcomers began to interact in a friendly manner. Wendy, as a socialite who was known to both sides, naturally acted as a bridge of communication.

It was just because it was their first meeting and they didn't know each other, so they just said hello, chatted casually for a few words, and then returned to their original seats, making it seem like they were divided into two groups.

Eli frowned as he watched this scene, but he couldn't force two groups of people who met for the first time to get familiar with each other immediately. It seemed that he had to put in more effort, otherwise the instability in the backyard would easily affect the main business.

The best and fastest way to make them familiar with each other is of course to eat, live and even sleep together. Perhaps he should arrange their sleeping quarters alternately, which will help to level the backyard quickly.

"Okay, don't stand in the yard anymore. Let's go over there together. The hall is over there."

Eli thought of this and called out, and after attracting everyone's attention, he pushed Alyssa into his arms, and asked Cecilia, who was familiar with this new home, to lead the way for him.

Cecilia was very obedient when she was not jealous, but she was obviously jealous now, so after hearing her master's arrangement, she pouted. She didn't want to lead the way, but was afraid of losing the prestige of the "master" in front of the newcomers. After hesitating for a while, she could only reluctantly lead her master and go with them.

The new Duke Eli's Mansion was very big, even bigger than the Duke Bruno's Mansion where they lived before. It was a long way from the front yard to the hall. On the way, Eli had a lot of questions that he wanted answers to, not only about the changes in Cecilia, Jessica, and Alyssa, but also about everyone else.

In the short time he was away, his old nest had undergone such great changes. He had thought that after bringing back the demigod-level high priest, the half-demigod Luna, the strongest saint-level Clia, and Wendy who was approaching the saint-level, the women in the family would be in an embarrassing situation of being greatly lagging behind in strength.

But now it seems that he was overthinking it. After his careful perception, he found that not only Jessica and Cecilia were approaching the Saint Level, but Lina was also inexplicably stuck halfway through the ninth level. Evelyn was similar to Lina, and even Eleanor had reached the peak of the eighth level.

Before he left, he left behind a lot of resources and made upgrade plans for them, but it was obvious that they did not follow his arrangements at all, but took shortcuts without knowing where.

Although there is still a certain gap between them and the three little ones of the elves, it is obviously not as big as Eli expected.

The key point is that, not to mention the big elf, the three little ones are so strong, not only because they are older, but also because they have received the partial blessing from the Lord God to have the strength they have today. Then what about the women in the family? Do they also receive benefits from the Lord God?
Eli was thinking about these questions as he walked, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the grand and luxurious main hall.

Those who followed along were not guests, so they found a seat and sat down on their own without Eli greeting them.

Jessica and Cecilia sat next to him as usual, and the others sat around the three of them.

"Can you tell me what happened after I left? Your progress is too fast."

Eli would not play any Riddler game with his woman, and he also knew that Cecilia and others would not hide anything from him, so he asked directly about his previous doubts.

"It was Gabriella who gave us a lot of things, including several magical items. She also helped to completely refine the spiritual fruits of Jessica and me..."

Of course, Cecilia answered her master's questions with all she knew. Besides, there was nothing to hide. After all, Caroline was also the master's woman. She was a part of the family. Helping them grow quickly was just sisterly help.

"Giacia? Where did she get so many magical objects?"

It would have been fine if Cecilia hadn't said anything. After she said that, Eli became even more confused. If she had said that they had encountered some adventure on their own, he could have accepted it. But it was particularly strange that their growth was due to the help and even the gift of magical objects from Cassia.

You have to know that Cassia can be said to be the least talented among his women. In her previous life, she had been at the level of a fourth-level priest for a long time, and she was still a long way from the high level until the country was destroyed. In this life, although she had started her own training in advance, she was limited by her initial talent. There was still a big gap between her and Cecilia and others. At least when he last saw her, she was only a fifth-level priest, close to the sixth-level.

With her insignificant strength and her status as a small team leader in the Holy See of Light, how did she get the divine object that even he rarely got?
"Master, you don't know that Garcia is now the Saint of the Church of Light. She is now richer than Lina. Just a little bit of money that comes out from between her nails will be enough for us to eat."

Talking about Garcia, even Cecilia's face was full of envy. She and Garcia had been competitors since childhood, but as they grew up, her natural advantages were fully revealed, and it could be said that she completely suppressed Garcia.

In addition, she was the master's child bride and had always lived with the master. Whether in terms of distance, time spent together or the degree of intimacy, she had an all-round advantage. In her eyes, Garcia was nothing to be feared.

But perhaps it was a trick of God. Cassia, who had been marginalized by Princess Lina who showed up unexpectedly, had some kind of luck that suddenly made her chosen by the gods of the Holy See of Light and appointed as the Saint. In just over ten days, she grew from an ordinary priest below the high level to a powerful person of the ninth level, and also possessed extremely high authority in the Holy See of Light.

She could even use her authority to directly withdraw divine objects and take them home. Such treatment was not only unacceptable to all the saints of all generations, but even the Pope of Light was far behind. After all, he had to write a report in advance if he wanted to withdraw divine objects.

The importance that the Holy See of Light attaches to Garcia is almost equal to the love that the master has for her, to the extent that they can do whatever they want with her.

She still feels very strange about this matter, but since it involves a special organization like the Holy See of Light, she, as an outsider, has no way to investigate it. She can only wait for her master to come back and talk to him to see if he can find any clues.

"Giacia has become the Holy Maiden of Light? Isn't Noa the Holy Maiden of Light of this generation? With her strength and status, can she be replaced by Garcia?"

Eli was getting more and more confused the more he listened. He would believe her even if she said that Cassia was adopted as the great-granddaughter by the Pope of Light. But could she say that she became the Holy Maiden of Light? Was the Holy Maiden Noa, who was already a saint, just eating for free?
