Chapter 2499: Under the Moon, Flower Sea and Elf

~11 min read 2,061 words

He used the miracle "Powerful Spatial Perception" again to determine his current location, and then turned into a butterfly swarm and traveled through the forest while keeping the miracle open. Not long after, Xia De stopped by the forest stream that was turned silver by the moonlight, and frowned as he looked at the moon above his head again:

"What is the situation?"

If the miracle was not wrong, Xia De felt like he was spinning in circles in his perception. And every time he wanted to correct his forward direction based on the correct direction he perceived, the direction would deviate again when he moved forward.

This was not the effect of a relic or the effect of a Ringed Shushi using a miracle, and it was even less an abnormal spatial effect produced by world distortion. It was this forest itself that was constantly blocking Xia De from approaching the distant city.

"Do I have a grudge against this place?"

After thinking about it carefully, he threw the crystal shoes and disappeared by the small stream. After confirming that he had returned to the basement of his home instead of still being in that forest, Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down and picked up 【Source of Chaos】 by the wall, and then passed through the 【Spatial Labyrinth】 to Vista Woodland again.

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

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

The clear yellow moonlight spilled over the road ahead. Relying on "Powerful Spatial Perception" and this Sage-level relic, Xia De set off again. But this time he didn't transform and fly, but honestly walked forward with his feet.

It was just that even so, Xia De stopped again after a ten-minute journey. He did indeed succeed in moving forward a distance towards the city, but according to the current progress, if he wanted to walk out of this "labyrinth" and approach Creekwood Town, it would probably be dawn:

"Could Miss Danisite also be trapped in the forest like this?"

The current situation was very similar to the "spatial lost state" when the fog was thick on the island in Green Lake. In this case, it was best not to walk around, but Xia De had to go to the distant city.

And, he had been active in the forest for this half an hour, and roughly felt it out. This land and forest were not particularly targeting him to prevent him from leaving, but this place itself had such a nature, no matter who came, it was the same.

And because of this, the coverage of this strange spatial state should not be the entire Vista Woodland, but just a small area. Xia De believed that as long as he walked far enough, he would eventually be able to get out of here:

"I won't sleep at home tonight, I will also walk forward!"

There were no enemies in the forest, and the animals living here did not have eyes to come and provoke Xia De. The quiet night seemed to have only the hurried footsteps of the outsider.

And as he continued to move forward, not long after, just as the effect of the "lucky soy milk" was about to disappear completely, light appeared in the forest ahead. That light was not very intense, more similar to the color of starlight.

Xia De followed the light and pushed aside the bushes, and immediately widened his eyes.

What came into view was an open space full of flowers in the forest tree sea. A blonde elf was bending down as if checking the situation of this flower sea.

There were no branches blocking the starlight and moonlight above the open space, and the starlight-like light just now was caused by the miracle she used to urge the flower sea.

Hearing the sound of walking and pushing aside the bushes, the bending elf straightened up and looked at Xia De. Her long hair was not bound, naturally hanging behind her back over her hood, and she was wearing a silver-purple robe. Evaluated by human age, she looked like twenty-one or twenty-two years old, tall, and because she was wrapped in a robe, her figure could not be seen clearly.

Those very calm emerald green eyes had already met Xia De's vigilant eyes at this moment.

In the night where everything was silent, the traveler lost in the forest suddenly saw the elf in the flower sea, which indeed had a sense of knight novel, but he knew this was wrong no matter how he thought about it.

"Good evening." (Elvish)

The elf asked softly, and the silver-blue small flowers swayed gently with the wind around, and light spots were still rippling above the entire flower sea. If it weren't for the miracle to determine the time, Xia De almost thought he had traveled to the era of the past.

The elf was undoubtedly a Ringed Shushi, but the two were still some distance away, and Xia De could only feel that she was a middle-ring. And since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Xia De also said very politely:

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

He wasn't even sure if the other party was a human at this time. Under the circumstances of not collecting any information after just arriving in the local area, he reasonably suspected everything here.

And the elf in the flower sea didn't show vigilance towards him. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Xia De among those silver-blue flowers that glowed, and her voice was unusually calm:

"Vista Woodland has always had its own secrets. There are the most ancient ruins in the Old Continent here, and also the most 'forbidden lands' in the Old Continent. The area we are currently in itself resists the departure and entry of any life, so there are relatively many ancient plants here."

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

"Emerald Star Flower. Books say that this kind of plant that glows at night went extinct in the early Sixth Era, but I found the seeds of the flower in this forest."

"Hmm... so, you live here?"

The elf nodded, her expression still calm, and her body seemed to be glowing in the moonlight. The pure-blooded elf Xia De knew before this was only Emilia. Compared with Emilia, the strange elf in front of her was undoubtedly an adult, taller and more mature in temperament.

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

She continued to stop Xia De's attempt to move forward in Elvish:

"Stranger, if you try to leave here, this flower will guide you in the right direction."

She bent down and picked a small flower from under her feet, held it with both hands and blew gently, and the flower with silver-blue light drifted towards Xia De.

It stopped in front of Xia De, shaking as if wanting Xia De to follow it and leave. However, Xia De was not in a hurry to leave. On the one hand, he couldn't be sure if the beautiful elf in front of him was worth trusting, and on the other hand, it was hard to meet an object that could communicate, so he also wanted to ask for more information:

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

The elf in the flower sea under the moon seemed to want to laugh for a moment, but looking carefully, she was still very calm, but those emerald green eyes became brighter:

"What do you want to know?"

"Can I ask your name? You look very similar to a friend of mine. Are you also an elf of the Moon Creek clan?"

The strange elf in front was indeed similar in appearance to Emilia, but it didn't exclude that Xia De was not good at distinguishing the faces of elves.

The quiet elf in the flower sea nodded:

"Yes, I also belong to the Moon Creek clan. Are you trying to climb relationships with this?"

"No, no, I am John Watson. I don't know how to address you?"

"You obviously said a fake name."

The elf continued to say calmly, and Xia De, who was exposed, felt embarrassed, and then took the initiative to apologize:

"Alright, I don't want to reveal my identity. I'm really sorry for lying just now. Then can you tell me how to safely travel through this forest? Not a one-time thing, after all, I might come here often in the future... I won't disturb you, and I won't pick any plants you planted."

The above dialogue was conducted in Elvish. I don't know if it was because of this reason, but the strange elf really didn't continue to ask about the identity of this suspicious outsider Xia De:

"This forest also doesn't belong to me. I have no right to manage whether you want to be active here.

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

"How about some Moon Essence Water?"

Xia De suggested:

"Or other materials, but I need time to raise them. Of course, entrusting me to do things is also fine, finding people, killing people, finding relics, investigating past things, I can do all of these."

The elf in the flower sea shook her head slightly, she was as calm as this slightly cold night wind:

"I have only met you for the first time. I won't let you do these things. Since you want to enter the city, help me take an item from the local black market. When you come back and pass by here, bring it to me, and I will tell you the entrance and transaction password of the black market."

This was indeed something that could be done easily:

"Help you pick up goods? Do you trust me so much?"

"The tree told me that you are worth trusting."

The elf in the flower sea under the moon said softly, her emerald green eyes flashing with light:

"There are many secrets hidden in Vista Woodland, and this 'forest that cannot be left' is just one of them. The area of this special area is actually not large, at least for middle-ring Ringed Shushi like us, it is not large.

But to get out, what you rely on is not spatial perception, but the perception of trees and nature. The earth and trees will tell you how to leave this place. It's just that it is a bit difficult to let you know how to listen to the voice of the earth or trees immediately, so take this away."

More small flowers emitting silver-blue light flew into the air in the flower sea, forming a long line of flowers under the moon.

They, together with the Emerald Star Flower that tried to guide Xia De just now, were woven into a beautiful wreath. The wreath itself had light, and when it fell into Xia De's hands, he felt a calm and ancient miracle element.

"Wear it, and the forest will tell you the direction to leave. I have applied a miracle to the wreath, and it can be preserved for at least a month. But this is just keeping the flowers fresh, it is still fragile."

"Thank you very much for your help."

Xia De thanked the elf, and then asked:

"May I ask if anyone else has been trapped in this area in the past week? For example, a red-haired sorceress."

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

"The only ones active here recently are you and me.

Outsider, after leaving this forest, although there are no other dangers on the road to the city, you must also revere this ancient forest and revere this city. Time is deposited here, deposited in Creekwood Town, please revere the forest and the earth. When you encounter any trouble here, please remember this." ===== CHAPTER 2500 =====
