"Wow! There are even elves as small as little Nasi!" Nasi also widened her eyes, and murmured into Colin's ear.
"Bobi!"
The two little elves gazed into each other's big eyes for a while before Bobi called out first, flying off from Lillian's shoulder.
Bobi's expression had suddenly become somewhat serious for some reason. She tucked the hair behind her ears, highlighting her pointed ears even more. Her little face became stern, and combined with her golden figure, she oddly exuded an air of authority.
"Good giant, do you know what she is doing?" Nasi watched Bobi's actions with some panic and quickly whispered in Colin's ear.
Colin shook his head, looking towards Lillian with a questioning gaze.
"Bobi is a little elf my mother left me; I've never seen her like this before... I don't know what she's doing either," Lillian responded, shaking her head to Colin's gaze.
"Bobi!"
Unheeded, Bobi now looked a bit flustered. Her movements became noticeably stiffer as she called out again in a rush.
"What a strange little elf..." Nasi nibbled on her finger and whispered to Colin, then turned back to Bobi, "Alright alright, little Nasi is coming over now!"
"Good giant, you'll protect me, right?"
After saying this, Nasi turned her head back and softly asked Colin.
Colin nodded almost imperceptibly.
Nasi, with Colin's assurance, seemed to instantly gain confidence and flew towards Bobi with proud swagger.
Seeing Nasi's posture, Bobi, who had a stern expression, felt inexplicably panicked; her already stiff movements became even more rigid.
However, an unknown strength compelled Bobi to compose herself again.
As she faced the approaching Nasi, she slowly extended her arm, palm down, and naturally letting it drop, her little face slightly turned aside as if arrogantly waiting for the kiss of homage like a queen!
"Hello!" But Nasi, oblivious, took Bobi's small hand straight away, enthusiastically greeting her.
"Bob... Bob... Bobi!" Bobi was startled by Nasi's unexpected move and suddenly began to panic, breaking free from Nasi's grasp and, like a bolt of lightning, quickly retreated behind Lillian.
Nasi, touching her head, looked confused and returned to Colin's side.
At this moment, Lillian appeared to have thought of something, and added to Colin:
"What species of elf is your red little elf?"
"I'm guessing Bobi might have been asking her to submit... The Elf Clan places great importance on bloodlines and hierarchy."
Colin was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised asked, "Lillian... you can't tell the exact species of this little elf either?"
"I can't tell," Lillian shook her head. "There are as many types of little elves as there are stars in the sky, and this one I do not recognize... From the color, it looks a bit like a ruby elf, but the shape is a bit off."
"Nasi can use plant-based natural magic," Colin added.
"Is her name Nasi?... In the Elvish language, that means something beautiful. If she can use plant-based natural magic, she's most likely a plant elf... But why would she be this color?"
Colin communicated via Spirit telepathy:
"Perhaps it's the same as the Different Space here, it's been contaminated... Nasi's memory is somewhat chaotic and unstable, and she doesn't know that she's been contaminated. To ensure the stability of her Spirit, I haven't told her yet."
Lillian paused slightly as she received the message through telepathy, then discreetly glanced at Nasi and continued to ask:
"Colin, I think we need to discuss our current plans, we've been trapped here and I've been searching for an exit in the Subspace, but the monsters in the courtyard are too troublesome, we simply can't kill them all, it's impossible to move forward..."
"Lillian," Colin interrupted her, "If we just want to go back to the Different Space we were in just now, there's no need to move forward, Nasi can 'open the door' and take us out."
Lillian was somewhat surprised and confirmed, "Is that possible here?"
She thought Colin was only talking about returning to the outside world from the Elf Kingdom... There's a stark difference between going from the Subspace to the Elf Kingdom, and from the Elf Kingdom to the outside world.
"Yes," Colin nodded, then turned to the small elf by his ear and asked: "I'm right, aren't I, Nasi?"
"Of course, little Nasi is amazing!" Maybe because he was there to support her, the small elf sounded more confident and even raised her voice.
"Good, there's no time to lose, Colin, we should hurry back to the Elf Kingdom. The contamination in this Different Space is far too strong, with each minute increasing the danger." A trace of relief crossed Lillian's face, she turned her head to look at the ornate corridors and courtyard around her, and added:
"Moreover, due to the contamination's effects, this place is almost just a worthless ruin for us... It won't have anything that can cure our teacher, nor any treasures."
"Alright, Nasi, it's up to you," Colin said with a nod to Nasi by his ear.
Then he continued to ask Lillian, "Lillian, you still haven't told me how you came to this place?"
Hiss.
A hint of green light shone from the hands of the small elf who had received the command.
"I came here using this."
Lillian glanced at Nasi unconsciously, even more curious about what kind of elf she was... she had never heard of a plant elf having the so-called ability to 'open doors'...
Redirecting her gaze, Lillian raised her left hand, pointing to the Purple Crystal bracelet on it and answered.
"This is a token my mother gave me; with it, I can enter the Elf Kingdom through a specific entrance."
"A specific entrance?" Colin asked with a hint of confusion, then hurriedly followed up with, "Is it the Red Soil Forest?"
"Yes," Lillian nodded, then added, "But the token can only take us back to reality from specific locations in the Elf Kingdom... It's that forest, you know?"
A shadow suddenly appeared in Colin's heart... Nasi could enter the Elf Kingdom through the Red Soil Forest as well, but now this ability has failed...
Taking a deep breath, Colin didn't pursue the issue further; he would only know if the bracelet still worked once he was back in the Elf Kingdom.
Taking advantage of the time Nasi was 'opening the door,' he asked one last question.
"Lillian, I previously found a white flower in the grasslands... was it left by your witchcraft?"
"White flower..." Lillian's expression froze for a moment, then she shook her head.
'Wasn't it left by Lillian?'
The two exchanged glances, clearly having realized it, and their expressions changed slightly.
In this Elf Kingdom, there was apparently a third mysterious presence!
