Who told him to rush up there?.

In the restaurant of Duke Bruno's mansion, Eli's family was having a great time.

Because there are so many people, it naturally seems lively.

Because Eleanor had just had an argument with Eli, she sat obediently on the elevated chair with Alyssa. Thor sat on her other side. After the rescue she had just received, Eleanor seemed very enthusiastic towards Thor.

It's just that Thor is now one of the hostesses of Eli's family, and Eleanor has always claimed to be a guest. It's unknown what she is doing as a guest greeting the hostess so enthusiastically in someone else's home.

This time when they came to his parents' house, all the people on Eli's side were out, even Oliver was not left behind. Although she was a maid hired by Lina and the others, how could a dignified holy beast do the job of serving others? If she had to serve, it should be to serve the male master in special circumstances.

That is to say, she was born from Warcraft, and only knows one move, Eagle Escape, and the instinctive fighting method of beasts. Now that she has transformed into a human form, if she does not use her devouring talent, she is just a rookie who knows no magic and is not good at martial arts. Otherwise, at her level, she can be a good sparring partner.

"Elai, now that you have a title and have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, you should think carefully about having children, right?"

In aristocratic families, it is supposed to be ensured that couples do not talk while eating or sleeping. However, after Eli moved out, their chances to meet each other naturally became less. If some things are not said during meals, there will be no chance for her to nag him.

This was not the first time that the Duchess had talked to Eli about having children. Whenever she had the chance, she would whisper a few words to Eli, especially about the issue of the eldest son. Although Eli was still young, he would eventually go to the battlefield. If there was no heir left in the family, what if...呸呸, anyway, it was better to have a child than not.

"There's no rush for children. We still have a long future together. Once we defeat the demons, I'll give birth to a hundred or eighty grandchildren for you to play with."

To be honest, Eli has not considered having a child so far. His reason is similar to Lina's. He doesn't want to be distracted and is afraid of being a burden. Although he can leave the child to his parents after giving birth, how can he not feel worried?

"Defeat the demons? How long will it take? We have been fighting for more than a thousand years, and there is no hope of an end to the war..."

The Duchess obviously disagreed with Eli's idea. She was different from her son who had already achieved the status of demigod. Her son could easily live another thousand years, but her meager strength could only allow her to live for a hundred years at most. There was no way she could live to see the day when the demons were defeated.

But the Duchess had no idea that the outcome of the battle between the Hundred Races and the Demon Race would be decided within the next thirty years. Either they would die or we would die, and neither side would leave any chance of survival for the other.

If Eli succeeds in saving the world in the future, then thirty years later, Eli, who will at least be a god, will be able to help Duke and Duchess Bruno live longer and enjoy family happiness, which will be a simple thing that he can do.

And if he failed in the end, and the scene of the fall of the continent and the devastation of the people in the previous life reappeared, then everyone would perish together, and parents, relatives, the love of one's life, heirs and non-heirs would no longer exist.

"This war must be ended by me... by us. We should not pass the difficulties to the next generation."

Eli said this very seriously, he did not have children in his previous life, not because he could not afford to raise them, but before he could raise himself, the oppressive feeling of the impending demise of his race came over him.

At that time, he had never thought that the anti-demon war that had lasted for more than a thousand years would end in his generation. His life of just a few decades could be said to be insignificant in the thousand-year war, but he lived to see the day when hundreds of races were destroyed and the continent fell.

In order to prevent the history of his previous life from repeating itself, Eli in this life has tried his best to fight to the end. He wants to finish this battle and turn the outcome around. It is the demons that should be destroyed!

"The heroes of the mortal world all want to end this war and not pass on the difficulties to the next generation. But if there were no inheritance from generation to generation, how could the hundreds of races be what they are today?"

Normally, Duke Bruno is as taciturn as Jessica. He always plays the role of a strict father and doesn't talk much, but whenever he opens his mouth, he always talks about important matters.

Duke Bruno may not be as eager to have a grandchild as his wife, and he may not even care that much about the family inheritance, but for a human genius as outstanding as Eli, his excellent bloodline must be passed on. Perhaps this child will be the next generation of flag bearer in the anti-demon war.

"Father, I have rarely gone against your wishes in the past, but this time I have to say that if my generation cannot end this war, then there will be no next generation for my generation..."

Eli cannot tell others about his rebirth, but he can say a few words from the perspective of a new generation of anti-demon pioneer. The visible future is only less than thirty years. He has already seized resources, but how can his next generation have enough to eat?
Rather than sharing resources and waiting for the next generation, which will have a chance to succeed in at least 20 years, it is better to promote the heroes of this generation. This is the only generation that has hope of success. The next generation... Oh, they haven't grown up yet, and the soldiers of all races are almost dead...

"Is the situation... so difficult?"

Duke Bruno had retired from the battlefield for some years, but he always kept an eye on the battle situation on the front line. He did not find the war situation as difficult as Eli said.

"The next one or two years, or at most two or three years, will be the last chance to catch their breath. How terrifying the recovered demons will be will be beyond everyone's imagination."

Eli didn't tell the truth at this time. The demons who recovered from the previous blow were terrible, but not beyond everyone's imagination. The real difficulty actually came from the return of a demon expeditionary force.

That was about five years later. A small part of the demon army that had gone on an expedition to the underworld crossed over into the mortal world. With their support, the demons in the mortal world became unprecedentedly powerful. The situation, which had been able to maintain a stalemate, took a sharp turn for the worse and was on the verge of collapse.

If the strong men of hundreds of races had not made great sacrifices to block the most brutal attack of the demons, the fall of the continent would have happened 25 years earlier.

But it was precisely because of the huge losses in that battle that the balance of the war was completely unbalanced. The mortal world that had resisted the demons for a thousand years collapsed in just twenty years, causing the continent to fall.

"With your current status, you may know more than us... Since you said so, then... work hard. Although father is not that old, I am not strong enough to help you much, but I will not be a burden to you. Just go to the battlefield to kill demons, and you don't need to worry about anything at home."

Duke Bruno fell into silence after he finished speaking. He turned to his wife and shook his head, signaling her not to mention the matter of having a grandson again.

The Duchess always listened to her husband on serious matters. Seeing that Duke Bruno had relented, she wanted to say something, but in the end it all turned into a sigh.

At the other end of the table, the high priest also sighed at the same time. She almost spoke up for her parents-in-law who were younger than her. Eli should have more children. It would be best if all the women except his elf wives were pregnant. In this way, they could monopolize Eli for ten months. Then they could squeeze as much as they wanted. It would be wonderful to have a good harvest every day!
It's a pity that the young father-in-law and mother-in-law were not persistent enough and were dismissed by Eli in a few words. Otherwise, if the situation had become deadlocked, she could have helped...

As for the others, except for Clia, they were still young and were not in a hurry to have children. Moreover, their future was at least based on the Saint level. Even among the human race, which had the shortest natural lifespan, Saint-level masters could easily live for more than 500 years. Now most of them were around 20 years old, so they really shouldn’t be in a hurry to pass on the next generation. It was just a pity for Clia. She loved babies so much, but she couldn’t have one herself, so she could only give all her extra maternal love to Alyssa. Although they were of different races and should be sisters in terms of seniority, Alyssa was still a very young girl, and babies should be spoiled.

After bringing up this not-so-pleasant topic, Lina noticed that the atmosphere was a little subtle, so she winked at Eleanor frantically. At this time, a lively person was needed to liven up the atmosphere, otherwise it would be bad if the family could have a reunion dinner and it became so awkward.

Eleanor considered herself a very smart leader. When she saw Lina's eyes, she knew what she should do. However, she was not an expert in making things happen. She didn't have so many treasures to play with. If she was asked to perform at the show at the last minute, she couldn't produce any.

Fortunately, she was not the only treasure in the family. When Eleanor had no work to do, Alyssa stepped forward.

“Brother, can you finish the meat on your plate? Alyssa is not even full…”

The plate in front of Alyssa was empty. She held a small fork and stared at Eli's plate opposite her. Because almost all the people present were ladies, their food portions were not large. Alyssa, who was not full, could only look at her brother.

"Here, you eat."

How could Eli refuse Alyssa who took the initiative to ask for food? He himself would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for ten days or half a month. He maintained three meals a day just out of habit. The body of a demigod was different from that of ordinary people. He could already practice fasting like the immortal cultivators in novels.

Eli gave all the meat on his plate to Alyssa, and also took the vegetables over. Alyssa frowned.

"I want the meat, and the vegetables are for my brother."

Alyssa was not a particularly picky eater. She would eat the vegetables already on her plate with a frown, but she had no interest in the extra vegetables.

"Ah woo~"

"Ah woo~~"

After taking two casual bites, Alyssa finished the steak that Eli gave her. However, after the meat entered her stomach, Alyssa still did not feel satisfied and looked at other people again.

Of course, she ignored the elf sisters because their plates were full of green leaves and colorful fruits, and she was only interested in meat.

“Alyssa…why has your appetite become so big? Haven’t we just met for a day?”

Elisa's little movements and looks naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of others. The Duchess was very confused at this time. She asked the kitchen to prepare food for Elisa according to her normal food intake after she turned into a human form. She even prepared a little more because she was growing up.

But seeing that she was not satisfied after eating her own food, and was still not satisfied after eating Eli's meat, it was only one day later, how could she suddenly become so hungry? Did Eli not feed the child yesterday?

"It's a bit strange. Alyssa complained about being hungry in the middle of the night yesterday. I'm not familiar with the house and don't know where the kitchen is, so I caught some fish in the pond and gave it to her to eat. Only then did she calm down..."

At this time, Thor, who lived next door to Alyssa, also spoke and told about his experience last night. Alyssa's appetite did not increase now, but there were signs of it yesterday.

“Aren’t the fish in the pond Alyssa’s good friends? Usually she only catches them but doesn’t eat them. Why did she eat them this time?”

Not to mention Thor, who was not familiar with Alyssa, found it strange, even Eli, who had watched her grow up, was very puzzled. Alyssa liked to watch people fishing when she had nothing to do, and sometimes she would go fishing with her tail, but she never ate the fish she caught, and would put them back into the pond. She said that they were good friends who played with her, and Alyssa did not eat friends.

“The fish in the new home are not the fish in the old home, and they are not old and cooked fish, so Alyssa can eat them.”

Talking about eating fish last night, Alyssa recalled that Sister Thor's skill in grilling fish was quite good, no worse than the professional cook at home.

"But... the fish in the new pond were brought here by catching the fish here..."

At this time, Cecilia spoke weakly, which was rare for her.

Alyssa was stunned when she heard this, but in a moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry.

"They...they are...but, my friends smell so good..."

As Alyssa spoke, she began to wipe her tears, but she stopped crying because she soon realized that no matter how sad the past was, it could not be undone. Since her good friends were gone, she should just keep them in her stomach and keep them in her memory...

“So, what happened to Alyssa that she suddenly couldn’t be fed?”

At this time, as the elf who cared most about Alyssa, Clea raised her hand and asked.

However, in response to Claire's question, no one could give an immediate answer. Even Eli, the most knowledgeable person, remained silent for a moment.

"I may know the problem... Alyssa, it seems that my talent has awakened..."

Oliver, who had been eating quietly at the bottom of the table, raised his hand at the right time and tried to give an answer. (End of this chapter)
