Chapter 2544 Under the Moon, Sea of ​​Flowers and Elves

He once again used the thaumaturgy "Powerful Spatial Perception" to determine the current location, and then kept the thaumaturgy turned on and turned into a swarm of butterflies walking through the forest. Not long after, Shade stopped beside the forest stream that was illuminated by the moonlight and turned silver. Frowning, he looked at the moon above his head again:

"What's happening here?"

If there was no mistake in the thaumaturgy, Shade felt like he was spinning in circles. And every time he wanted to correct his direction according to the perceived correct direction, the direction would shift again when he moved forward again.

This is not the effect of the relics or the effect of the ring warlock's use of thaumaturgy, nor is it the abnormal spatial effect caused by the distortion of the world, but the forest itself is constantly blocking Shade from approaching the distant city.

"Do I have any grudge against this place?"

After thinking about it carefully, he threw out the glass slipper and disappeared by the stream. After making sure that he was back in the basement of his home and not still in the woods, Shade breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down by the wall and picked up the [Source of Chaos], and then passed through the [Space Maze] again to the Vista Grove.

Walking out of the tree hole and stepping on the floor tiles wrapped in soil, he released the bright yellow orb in his hand:

"Source of chaos, help me guide the way."

The bright yellow moonlight filled the road ahead. Relying on "powerful spatial perception" and this sage-level relic, Shade set off again. But this time, he did not transform and fly, but walked forward honestly with his feet.

But even so, Shade stopped again after ten minutes of journey. This time he did successfully move forward for a certain distance towards the city, but according to the current progress, it would probably be dawn before he could get out of this "maze" and approach Ximu Town:

"Is it possible that Miss Daniste was trapped in the forest like this?"

The current situation is very similar to the "space lost state" when the fog filled the Green Lake Island. In this case, it is best not to move around, but Shade has to go to the distant city.

Moreover, after he had been active in the forest for half an hour, he almost felt that this land and forest were not specifically targeting him to prevent him from leaving, but that the place itself had such a nature that no matter who came. Same.

Therefore, the scope of this weird space state should not be the entire Vista Woodland, but only a small area. Shade believes that as long as he goes far enough, he will be able to escape from here sooner or later:

"Even if I don't go home and sleep tonight, I have to move forward!"

There are no enemies in the forest, and the animals living here don't come to provoke Shade without opening their eyes. In the quiet night, it seems that only the footsteps of strangers are hurrying.

And not long after he continued forward, just when the effect of "Lucky Soy Milk" was about to completely disappear, a light actually appeared in the forest ahead. The light was not very strong, more similar to the color of starlight.

Shade followed the light and pushed aside the grass, and his eyes immediately widened.

What came into view was a clearing full of flowers in the sea of ​​​​trees in the forest. The blond elf was bending down as if to check the situation of this sea of ​​flowers.

There were no branches above the clearing to block the starlight and moonlight, and the dots of light just now were caused by the magic she used to stimulate the sea of ​​flowers.

Hearing the sound of walking and brushing aside the grass, the bent elf straightened up and looked at Shade. The long hair was not tied up, hanging naturally behind the hood, and she was covered with a silver-purple robe. In human terms, she looked about twenty-one or twelve years old. She was tall and her figure was difficult to see because she was wrapped in a robe.

Those calm emerald green eyes had now met Sha De's vigilant eyes.

In the stillness of the night, a traveler lost in the forest suddenly saw the elves in the sea of ​​flowers. It was indeed a sense of déjà vu in a knight's novel, but no matter how much he thought about it, he knew something was wrong.

"Good evening." (Elvish)

The elf greeted softly, and the small silver-blue flowers swayed gently with the wind around them, and there were still dots of light rippling above the entire sea of ​​flowers. If it weren't for the thaumaturgy to determine the time, Shade almost thought he had traveled to the past era.

There is no doubt that the elf is a ring sorcerer, but there is still a distance between the two, and Shade can only feel that she is a ring warlock. And since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Xia De also said politely:

"Good evening, I am a traveler passing through this place. May I ask why there is no way out of this forest?" (Elvish)

At this time, he was not even sure whether the other party was a human being. Since he had not collected any intelligence when he first arrived in the area, he had reasonable doubts about everything here.

The elf in the sea of ​​flowers did not show any vigilance towards him. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shade among the glowing silver-blue flowers. Her voice was unusually calm:

"Vestal Woodland has always had its own secrets. It has the most ancient ruins in the Old World, and it also has the most 'forbidden areas' in the Old World. The area we are currently in resists the departure and entry of any life. , so there are more ancient plants preserved here.”

She pointed to the flower field next to her, which was only composed of small silver-blue flowers:

"The Emerald Star Flower, the book says that this plant that glows at night became extinct at the beginning of the Sixth Era, but I found the seeds of the flower in this forest."

"Um so, you live here?"

The elf nodded, her expression still calm, and her body seemed to be glowing in the moonlight. The only pure-blood elf Shade knew before was Emilia. The strange elf in front of him was undoubtedly an adult compared to Emilia, taller and more mature in temperament.

"Yes, I live here. No, please don't step into my flower field."

She continued to use Elvish to stop Shade from trying to move forward:

"Stranger, if you try to get out of here, this flower will show you the way."

She bent down and picked a small flower from under her feet, held it with both hands and blew it gently, and the flower with silvery blue light floated towards Shade.

It stopped in front of Shade, shaking as if it wanted Shade to follow it and leave. However, Shade was not in a hurry to leave. On the one hand, he was still not sure that the beautiful elf in front of him was trustworthy. On the other hand, he finally met someone with whom he could communicate, and he also wanted to ask for more information:

"I am a foreigner and not very familiar with this land. Can I ask you some questions? I can pay you."

The elf in the sea of ​​flowers under the moon seemed to want to laugh for a moment, but if you look carefully, she was still very calm, but her emerald green eyes became a little brighter:

"What do you want to know?"

"Can I ask for your name? You look very similar to a friend of mine. You are also an elf from the Yuexi clan?"

The strange elf in front of him did look similar to Emilia, but it didn't rule out that Shade was not good at distinguishing the elf's face.

The peaceful elf in the sea of ​​flowers nodded:

"Yes, I also belong to the Yuexi clan. Do you want to rely on this to build relationships?"

"No, no, I'm John Watson. I don't know what to call you?"

"You obviously gave a false name."

The elf continued to speak calmly, and Shade was embarrassed for a moment after being exposed, and then took the initiative to apologize:

"Okay, I don't want to reveal my identity. I'm sorry for lying. So can you tell me how to travel safely through this woodland? It's not a one-time thing. After all, I may come here often in the future. I won't disturb you. , and won’t pick any of the plants you grow.”

The above conversations were all conducted in Elvish. I don’t know if it was for this reason that the strange elf actually didn’t ask Shade about the identity of this suspicious foreigner:

“This forest land also does not belong to me, and I have no jurisdiction over your activities here.

I can indeed give you a way to travel here safely, but what reward can you give? "

"How about some Moonflower Water?"

Shade suggested:

"Or other materials, but I need time to raise them. Of course, you can also entrust me to do things. Find people, kill people, find relics, and investigate past events. I can do all of these."

The elf in the sea of ​​flowers shook her head slightly. She was as calm as the cold night wind:

"I just met you for the first time, and I won't let you do these things. Since you are going to the city, help me pick up an item from the local black market. Bring it to me when you come back and pass by here. I will Tell you the entrance to the black market and the transaction password."

This is indeed something that can be done easily:

"Helping you pick up the goods? Do you trust me so much?"

"The tree tells me that you are trustworthy."

The elf in the sea of ​​flowers under the moon whispered softly, his emerald green eyes shining faintly:

"There are many secrets hidden in the Vista Woodland, and this 'forest that cannot leave' is just one of them. The area of ​​this special area is actually not large, at least not for middle-level warlocks like us.

But if you want to go out, you don't rely on perceiving space, but perceiving trees and nature. The earth and trees will tell you how to get out of here. It's just that if it's a bit difficult to instantly know how to listen to the earth or trees, take this one with you. "

More small flowers emitting silvery blue light flew into the air, forming a long line of flowers under the moon.

Together with the Emerald Star flower that was trying to guide Shade just now, they weaved into a beautiful garland. The wreath itself had light, and when it fell into Shade's hands, he felt the calm and ancient miraculous element.

"Wear it, and the forest will tell you the direction you are leaving. I have used thaumaturgy for the wreath, and it can be preserved for at least a month. But this is just flower preservation, and it is still fragile."

"thank you very much for your help."

Shade thanked the elf, and then asked:

"Is there anyone else trapped in this area in the past week? For example, the red-haired sorceress."

The elf gently shook his head under the moon and reminded:

“The only ones moving around here lately are you and me.

Foreigners, after leaving this woodland, although there are no other dangers on the way to the city, they must still respect this ancient woodland and this city. Time has settled here, in Ximu Town. Please respect the forest and the earth. Please keep this in mind when you run into any trouble here. "
