I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 280 The Goddess's Monument

The brave Simmel.

Thirty-one years after his death.

Northern Plateau.

The Kino Mountains.

Fortress pass.

Shi Yichen and Frilian arrived at the border to complete the customs clearance procedures. They learned that the inspection would take three weeks, so they had no choice but to wait.

"They said the immigration screening would take three weeks."

When Philon and Shutark met up, Shi Yichen told them the information.

"Ugh! It's going to take so long!"

Philon said speechlessly, "It will take three weeks, which means Frilian will have another three weeks to play here."

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't want to either. These are other people's rules, and we have to abide by them."

Frilian said earnestly to Philon that this was not something she wanted to slack off on; it was just that this was the rule at this checkpoint. Since there were rules, they had to be followed, right? She wasn't trying to be lazy.

Is that really the case?

Philon looked at Frillie with a "you'd never believe me" expression. Others might not understand Frillie, but she knew her all too well. All that righteous talk was just a way to shirk her responsibilities.

"It's probably because the restoration of the fortress city of Viize has affected this place to some extent."

Frilian probably guessed why things were like this, after all, this was the closest city to Viize.

"Moreover, I heard that as the security situation in the northern plateau has improved, the conditions for merchants and adventurers to pass through have also been eased considerably."

"Not many people actually travel from the northern highlands; sea is the primary way to enter the country. Given the current situation, there aren't enough staff to process entry documents, which is probably why it's so slow."

Shi Yichen also explained to Philon and Shutark that although most of this was what they heard from others, the facts were not far off.

"That means we've arrived at the busiest time of the year."

Shutark watched the merchants and adventurers coming and going; many of them had set up camp near the pass.

"I'll be staying here for a while again..."

Philon was also helpless about this, but here others had the final say.

"That being said, there's not much to do here. How should we kill some time...?"

Looking at the people coming and going on both sides of the road, Hugh Tarek probably thought they were bored while waiting.

"Don't worry about that. I happen to have a place I'd like to go that Yichen might be very interested in."

Frilian smiled and looked at Shi Yichen, not forgetting that Shi Yichen was chosen by the goddess and could not and would not live this long. The place she was going to was related to the goddess.

"Would I be interested? Is it related to the goddess?"

How could Shi Yichen not know what Frillian was thinking? He guessed it immediately.

“That’s right, it’s a stone tablet left by the goddess a long, long time ago. I came here once eighty years ago, but you weren’t here that time.”

Frilian explained the origin of the Goddess Monument to Shi Yichen and the others, but the Goddess Monument has too many unsolved mysteries, and no one has been able to crack them yet.

"The Monument to the Goddess?"

This was the first time Philon and Shutark had heard of this.

But this wasn't the first time Shi Yichen had heard of it. In order to revive Flame, she had researched a lot of information about the goddess and learned about the Goddess's Stele from some ancient books, but she had never seen it.

"You must be familiar with the Goddess, right?"

Frilian looked at Philon and Shutark and asked, after all, Shi Yichen beside her was the first human to see the goddess since the age of mythology.

"Of course, according to the holy scriptures, heaven and earth were created by a goddess. When I was a child, Lord Haita often read it to me."

Moreover, Lord Shi Yichen is the first human to receive the goddess's blessing in tens of thousands of years since the goddess disappeared, which is why he has been able to live for so long.

Philon knew some things about Shi Yichen, but not much. Philon didn't know that Shi Yichen had met the goddess, or even met her face to face.

"That's right. Legend has it that the goddess infused her magic into the stone tablet, leaving behind the Stone Goddess Tablet on this continent."

Frilian nodded. She had only heard about the origin of the Goddess Monument from others. After all, she was just a little elf who was a little over a thousand years old, and what she knew was certainly not as much as that great elf who was tens of thousands of years old.

You should all know who it is, right?

"So, one of them is nearby?"

Shutark looked at Frilian with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Well, that's why I want to analyze the magic in the stone tablets. If I remember correctly, no one has successfully deciphered these ten stone tablets so far."

Frilian nodded; she was most interested in these strange and unusual things, especially the magic in the Goddess's Monument.

"I also want to see what kind of magic the goddess left behind is."

Since it was something left behind by the goddess, she naturally had to go and see it.

She is already a demigod. If she wants to become a god, she can only seek out the goddess. But the goddess cannot be found. So she can only look for what the goddess left behind on this continent.

"If that's the case, this parsing session will take quite a while, right? I don't want to wait here for decades."

When Hugh Tarek heard that Frilian was going to decipher the magic left behind by the goddess, which would take at least several decades, he thought, "You're not worried about the time, but what about me and Philon? Their lifespans aren't that long."

"I want to redeem myself. Don't worry, if I can't get the analysis done by the end of the immigration review, I'll give up."

Frilian gave Philon and Shutark a reassuring look; she wouldn't let them down at such a crucial moment.

Because she knew that the magic left behind by the goddess was not so easy to decipher; if the goddess's magic were so easy to decipher, others would have deciphered it long ago.

"To avenge our previous humiliation?"

Hugh Tarek sensed a hidden meaning in Frillie's words.

"When we were fighting the Demon King, we also passed through here. We got lost in the forest for three days and three nights and were exhausted."

Seeing the stone tablet made everyone a little angry, which led me to leave without thoroughly investigating its contents.

Frilian felt very sorry because she hadn't been able to see what the stone tablet said clearly. She could only glance at it vaguely before leaving the Goddess's Tablet with Simmel and the others.

"Are we going there too? Can we get angry too?"

Philon looked at Frilian and asked if they could get angry like Simmel and the others and make Frilian leave.

"Most importantly, my memories of investigating the stone tablet have become blurred; I feel like I've lost about a week's worth of memories."

Frillie said with a serious expression, believing that her memory could not be faulty, so the problem must lie with the Goddess Monument.
