"Good giant, little Nasi has opened the door, hurry!" Nasi urged, panting, "Opening the door is so tiring, little Nasi can't hold on for much longer!"
"Let's go out first and talk later," Lillian pressed down the shock in her heart and took the lead in speaking to Colin.
"Okay," Colin nodded.
The two followed Nasi through the door.
The next moment, they reappeared in the Elf Kingdom.
Except this time, the location was different from where they had entered... This place was a dark red, cracked swamp.
Swoosh!
Lillian, who stood beside him, withdrew her gaze and waved her hand gently. Like moonlight spilling down, a light veil descended, dividing into several pieces that landed on each of them, forming from head to toe, including the Wizard Robe and boots, a thin veil wrapped around them.
"Concealing Moon Cloth... for hiding us," Lillian briefly explained, "Since there's still another person in the Elf Kingdom, it's likely they are more foe than friend... This is a necessary measure."
Colin nodded, agreeing deeply, and with a thought, he also extended his hand.
Swoosh!
A silent, witchcraft light flashed by.
"What is this...?" Lillian asked curiously.
"Silent... a spell I happened upon that eliminates sound," Colin also explained briefly.
"What's the range for the sound elimination?" Apparently not having heard of this spell, Lillian asked again.
"It eliminates sounds produced by oneself and most sounds from one's contact with objects, without affecting the surrounding noises."
"It seems like it can also continue moving with the spellcaster, quite a good spell!" Lillian commented lightly, her tone was mild, but the admiration in her eyes was unmistakable.
If the intention was not to affect external sounds, then eliminating one's own sounds and the sounds of contact with the outside usually require different processing logic.
This also leads to the use of different spells, and it's rare to see one that can eliminate both effects.
"It's just good luck," Colin said with a smile, then changed the subject, "Lillian, when Nasi first took me here, we also entered through the Red Soil Forest."
Lillian frowned, seeming to have anticipated something, feeling a hint of unease.
Colin organized his thoughts and continued, "I was planning to wait a few hours, to avoid the unknown enemy, then return to Gubier Island... but I never expected that Nasi tried several times but couldn't open the gate again... There seems to be a problem with the anchor on Gubier Island."
"So, if the path you took in was also the Red Soil Forest... I wonder if it would be affected."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lillian immediately realized the severity of the situation; her expression shifted subtly as she quickly lifted her bracelet, attempting to test whether she could leave the Elf Kingdom.
Buzz—
The delicate, pale purple bracelet lit up with a hazy glow, mysterious and splendid.
The creations of the elves... were always filled with beauty.
But this beautiful light suddenly extinguished in the next moment.
The omnipresent pale red light of the Elf Kingdom crept back onto the faces of Colin and Lillian, reflecting two uncomfortable expressions.
"Can't establish a stable passage..." Lillian lowered her wrist, exhaling, "It seems that something unknown has happened in the Red Soil Forest outside."
"The Elf Kingdom is a Different Space that has been fully developed, under the craft of generations of elves, the passages connected to the outside world are limited and have strict requirements... The bracelet in my hand, used for guests to enter and exit, can only be used to return through the same way one entered."
Although he had been aware of this fact, Colin's heart inevitably sank upon having it confirmed by Lillian.
"In our current situation, there's only one path we can take," he said after taking a breath, stripping away the negative emotions and addressing Lillian.
"The only path..." Lillian's expression flickered slightly, "Could it be...?"
"Yes, the remaining third person... or group of people," Colin nodded, speaking gravely, "The Elf Kingdom is now just a wasteland, the forests withered, the grasslands wilted, that white flower definitely came from the outside, and those people must also be from outside."
"If they could get in, then they likely know the way out!"
Lillian nodded in agreement.
The dry swamp area, like the grassland, was the closest to the high mountains.
And the position they occupied was even closer to the edge of the swamp near the high mountains.
So, the high mountain area was right in front of them.
Lillian looked ahead, her face rarely showing a touch of bewilderment.
"The Elf Kingdom is vast, searching for a group of people within is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"We can't just give up, if we continue, there will always be hope."
Colin encouraged Lillian, following her gaze towards the high mountains and continued deducing,
"If even the Subspace courtyards of the High Level Elves have been completely corrupted, leaving nothing of value, then it's likely the same in other places... The only place of value in the entire Elf Kingdom is the high mountains in front of us, I guess that group is most likely inside."
"Plus, even if we want to find those people and get the way out, we still have to first find the cure for Professor Atbolde."
This was his true thought, but not the entire truth.
Now that it was confirmed that the user of the flower was not Lillian, then the treasure corresponding to the location obtained through Anando's Dice was also likely not on Lillian.
