Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

After listening, Aurora frowned slightly and asked, puzzled:

"I've remembered everything, but sir, why did you do that?"

"This is a level you can't understand; you just need to execute, in order to..."

For what?!

Domi immediately started thinking: he needed to come up with a high-class, promising, and lucrative common goal to strive for!

Got it!

"In order to follow in the footsteps of the gods, we cannot do without the aura that the chosen ones possess."

"Do you remember, Aurora? It was with the power of that god that I created you. It was He who gave me the true meaning of life. So we must follow Him to explore more mysteries..."

In order for more people to join us in accomplishing our great cause, the organization needs your action!

……

P.S.: I've been obsessed with the Elden Ring lately, and now I've finally achieved all the endings and achievements. Today I'm officially paying off my debt~ (I think there were two updates, but if I'm wrong, please remind me.)

Chapter 71, Section 70: Armor gleams in the sun, golden scales unfold!

So that's how it is!

She and Lord Dominic actually carried such a mission!

"Yes, ma'am. I will definitely try my best."

"Yes, I look forward to your performance."

As soon as the call ended, Aurora immediately became extremely alert, her gaze fixed intently on the chosen one on the altar.

The moment the magic circle appeared, ancient whispers suddenly echoed through the scene, as if reciting the way of the world.

The magic circle became incredibly dazzling, carrying a rainbow-like radiance.

The ten elders sitting to the side suddenly stood up, trembling all over, and said:

"A chosen one! After hundreds of years, our Forest Elf race has finally produced another chosen one!"

"Heaven is decreing the prosperity of our people!"

The elders reacted this way, and the civil official who was in charge of the awakening ceremony was even more astonished!

"The altar is reacting like this... Could it be that the blessing bestowed upon the chosen one is actually the sacred tree itself!?"

"No, no, no!" He immediately rejected this unrealistic idea, because the current Forest Elf Queen had not yet passed away, and the Sacred Tree could not possibly bestow its blessing upon a second person.

Looking more closely at the phantom that was about to appear in mid-air—the emblem of the Forest Elves: the Golden Sacred Tree!

"The All-Encompassing Blessing of the First Elf King!"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among those present, most of them utterly astonished. After all, it was the birth of a chosen one, a sight many would never witness in their lifetime.

The sacred tree shone with golden light, bestowing a portion of its blessings upon this chosen one, essentially establishing him as the 'crown prince'—unsurprisingly, he would be the next Elf King.

The entire place erupted in cheers, but the boy simply smiled and calmly walked down from the altar. As he stood to the side, he happened to catch a glimpse of Aurora, who was standing at the very back of the line.

Even someone as composed as him couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. What a perfect woman she was! He was starting to look forward to her performance.

Regardless of their status, young people are still young people, and their teenage thoughts are already written all over their faces.

If Aurora had any decent talent, the two of them together would be a match made in heaven, envied even by the gods.

Well, that’s it!

Merlin's heart stirred with a long-dormant excitement.

After the chosen one appeared, no further blessings from the ancestors could cause a greater stir. The number of people ahead of her decreased one by one, and as her turn approached, Aurora couldn't help but feel nervous.

“Next, Aurora Skottie Mnemosyne, step forward.”

So her name is Aurora. What a lovely name, Merlin thought to himself.

Now everything about Aurora is beautiful to him, and nothing can tarnish her image as the white moonlight in his heart.

This is what is meant by love at first sight.

"arrive."

Aurora took a deep breath, silently praying to Lord Dominic to protect her and not embarrass herself too much, so that nothing would happen to her like everyone else, and then she could quietly leave.

She strode up the altar with her long legs, and the space before her became vast. The stone statues around her seemed to be ancestors from ancient times, standing in a circle and looking her over.

Two seconds passed, and nothing happened.

Just when everyone thought it was a pity that the girl hadn't been blessed, Domi made her move.

How can you get close to the chosen one without some kind of status?

Originally a commoner's daughter, she wanted to transcend her social class, and the awakening ceremony was her last chance!

Domi, who was sitting at a table in the castle library, put down everything he was doing and muttered to himself:

"System, use 'Thank you for your patronage' to exchange for 'False Chosen One Halo', then transfer it to Aurora and let her use it."

Operation completed.

With almost zero latency, on the other side of the screen, a huge golden magic circle suddenly appeared, just like Merlin's back then, radiating rainbow-like seven-colored light.

These unusual phenomena directly attracted the attention of the altar and the sacred tree.

Ancient whispers echoed once more throughout the space, and countless birds alighted on the branches, their gazes all fixed on Aurora atop the altar.

In an instant, a hundred birds sang in unison.

The sacred tree once again radiated a golden glow, but it would dim slightly from time to time, as if it were wavering between giving and not giving, unpredictable and uncertain.

"The sacred tree won't grant a blessing? No way! It must not be powerful enough!"

"System, add another Chosen One Halo!"

Operation completed.

To everyone's astonishment, the golden magic circle actually expanded by more than double, overflowing the sacred tree.

But the golden radiance of the sacred tree remains elusive...

"This still doesn't work? Fine, thank you for your patronage isn't worth much anyway. System, stack eight more to make a ten-pull!"

[A total of 1000 'Thank you for your patronage' has been consumed, and 'False Chosen Aura x10' has been redeemed.]

Operation completed.

The next second, the entire altar trembled. Within the golden magic circle, intricate magical patterns shifted rapidly like data, their edges expanding and expanding...

Overflowing from the sacred tree, overflowing the giant gate, and until the entire Forest Palace was enveloped in the golden law, the rainbow even transcended the magic circle, transforming into a real rainbow bridge that appeared in the night sky!

This time, the sacred tree finally stopped its back-and-forth and once again bestowed a small portion of its blessings upon Aurora.

"Snapped!"

In such a grand setting, the sound of a few chairs collapsing was utterly insignificant; the elders practically gouged their eyes out.

"The sacred tree has blessed us once more, the golden law has enveloped the earth, a rainbow bridge has descended from the sky, and all birds flock to the phoenix! Yet another chosen elven queen has emerged!!"

"With two chosen ones emerging in each generation, the unification of the entire elven race by our Forest Elves is just around the corner!"

The civil official could hardly believe that this girl, who was ranked last, had become the grand finale.

Two chosen ones! Such a situation has never occurred in history!

"Her blessing... what kind of ancestral blessing could be worthy of such a gifted person!"

The civil official hurriedly searched for the illusory figure, but after staring ahead for a long time, he could only see a faint golden curtain, as if there was no specific illusory figure bestowing blessings.

Could this be a rare case of receiving the blessing of the sacred tree without any ancestral blessings...?

Just as the civil official was filled with doubt and uncertainty, someone in the crowd who had already completed the ceremony pointed to the sky, his lips and body trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

Everyone, including Aurora, looked up at the sky.

It was only at that moment that everyone realized that it wasn't that Aurora didn't have a concrete, blessed phantom like the Shadow of Shuvara or the Symbol of the Sacred Tree, but rather that her phantom was too large. From the perspective of a civil official, all they could see was her lower leg.

A golden giant, like an ancient god, stood proudly between heaven and earth, half the height of the sacred tree, and possessed the power to overturn clouds and rain with every move.

He was clad in golden armor, wore a general's helmet, and held a long spear and a giant bow.

Golden light flowed inside the helmet, obscuring the face; only a pair of pure white eyes gazed indifferently down upon the world.

But soon, the huge phantom disappeared.

At the same time, Aurora received Domi's instructions and immediately used her magic to release the first stage of 'Susanoo'.

Susanoo took on a different form on Aurora, with its ribs and hand bones being translucent golden bones, just like the giant's initial form.

In this way, no one would doubt that Aurora had not blessed them.

The civil officials also deeply agreed:

"This is... a blessing from an unknown ancestor who is in no way inferior to the First King!"

[You stole half of the Chosen One's fame, Villain Value +2000]

……

Chapter 72, Section 71: Making a Choice

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us warmly welcome the rising stars of the future!"

The cheers were like thunder, wave after wave.

The eighty chosen benefactors arrived at the central square and, surrounded by the crowd, began the evening's revelry.

Beside the magnificent fountain, a group of elves dressed in formal attire played various musical instruments, performing their own unique melodies.

There was singing and dancing, and plenty of free food was laid out on the long table for people to take as they pleased.

Compared to a bonfire party, the elves' festival night was more like an open-air party where you could do whatever you wanted. Aurora even saw some elves from poor families come over and eat like crazy at the buffet table, wolfing down their food. After they finished eating, they would just fall asleep without anyone criticizing them.
