Li Aili's ultimate goal was also the Papal Court.
The thought of the burning cathedral in the Red Pomegranate Territory made Li Aili feel terrible.
If we were to follow that standard... Li Aili felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
But clearly, Arthur has a grudge against the Holy Light Church.
No matter how she asked, Arthur wouldn't say.
Li Aili's head was getting more and more ache from thinking about it, and that's how she arrived at the entrance to the West Forest.
After some thought, she decided to gather her friends and head off to the next adventure destination.
On the previous few visits, I could always see Peipei tied up by the tree spirits and hung at the door for all to see.
When she came over this time, Li Aili subconsciously looked up to greet Peipei.
Instead of seeing the small tree branch, they only saw a sphinx lazily licking its paws.
"Good morning, Sphinx~" Li Aili greeted him.
The Sphinx said lazily, "I sense a scent of 'confusion' about you."
"Do you feel like asking me a question?"
The Sphinx, having evolved into an elder Sphinx, crouched at the doorway. Upon seeing Li Aili, his pupils dilated like a cat's eyes. ^^
“Good morning, Ellie,” Sphinx stared at Ellie for a few seconds, “would you mind if I said that you have to answer one question to get in?”
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili: "Human?"
Sphinx: "..."
Sphinx: "I think you're insulting the intelligence of a sphinx!"
Li Aili looked up at him and asked, "And who gave you permission to 'collect admission fees' at the entrance to my forest this time?"
Sphinx: "..."
“I was wondering, I think I just saw two tree spirits going back to the forest, carrying their nagas, wading through the golden thorn bushes…” Li Aili looked speechlessly at the Sphinx who was pretending to be dead.
"Please, your blocking the door is already disturbing the neighbors, okay!"
The elven apprentices at the alchemy workshop planted a ring of golden thorns around the western forest.
The wood elves said that this would make efficient use of the magical plant's properties, which could be simply called 'theft prevention'.
Now, it's hard to say whether the Golden Thorn bushes have kept out the thieves, but the forest dwellers tormented by the Sphinx may be turning into hedgehogs from the thorns.
The Sphinx jumped down. "Are you going on another adventure?"
Li Aili said, "Yes."
The Sphinx squatted on the ground like a cat, licking its paws, and said, "When you encounter difficulties that you can't solve, you can go to your elf friend."
Li Aili: "?"
She wanted to ask more questions, but the Sphinx had already vanished like smoke.
Li Aili: "..."
As this sphinx evolved, it became more and more like a riddle-maker.
Li Aili wrote down his words and walked into the forest.
The dragon-slaying team built a treehouse by the artificial lake dug by the tree spirit.
When Li Aili was halfway there, she heard someone call her, "Aili, hello."
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snake's head with a human face peeking out from the emerald green canopy.
Through some sparse leaves, one can vaguely see the huge, light blue snake's body.
The damned West Forest.
Li Aili can now watch these 'minor scenes' without batting an eye.
She remembered this Naga, which was Zhenzhen's favorite 'snake shawl'. It could be worn as a shawl or wrapped around the head to cover baldness.
cough.
Li Aili remembered that this Naga was named Huanxi. "Good morning, Huanxi."
Where is Zhenzhen?
Huanxi slowly 'slid' down the tree canopy. Even after drinking the shrinking potion, her size was still astonishing.
The light blue Naga said, "Pepe has run away again. Zhenzhen, go and catch him."
"I originally came out to help with the search..."
Huanxi scratched her chin guiltily with the tip of her tail, "But when we passed by here, the youth fruits that the elves had just transplanted had grown."
"Hmm..." Huanxi's eyes darted around.
The little green berries look so delicious...
Li Aili: "..."
She looked up at it expressionlessly.
Ah, isn't this a newly transplanted 'youth fruit tree'?
“Pepe? What happened to him again?” Li Aili got a headache as soon as she heard the name of this brat.
Huanxi was happy to change the subject and immediately said, "He suddenly wants to join that scary man's Shadow Team in the castle."
Li Aili: "?" Is that referring to Arthur? The Shadow Team? The Shadow Squad?
Huanxi said, "Zhenzhen rejected him, and now they're together every day..."
The azure-blue Naga said with a complicated expression, "I'll take you to see it, and you'll understand."
Li Aili followed the azure-blue Naga to the lakeside in the forest.
Peipei was tied up like a caterpillar, hung from a fishing rod, and dangled on the surface of the lake, still managing to shout at the top of her lungs:
"My dream is the stars and the sea! Tree spirit, you may imprison my body, but you cannot imprison my heart that yearns to chase the darkness!"
I really want to record this, and then when you grow up and have a sense of shame, I'll replay it for you a hundred times.
Zhenzhen stood on the shore with her hands on her hips, panting heavily with anger.
Li Aili: "..."
Huanxi, used to it, slowly climbed back onto Zhenzhen's body.
Zhenzhen casually petted the snake, and her anger finally subsided.
Li Aili asked cautiously, "Zhenzhen, we're going to the Pegasus Herd, you..."
Zhenzhen stroked the snake with one hand and pointed at the little cub hanging on the lake with the other, "As soon as I leave, he can immediately join that Shadow thing..."
Pepe yelled at the top of her lungs, "I have this talent, why are you killing it!"
Zhenzhen clenched her fist in anger, and the light blue Naga suddenly raised its head, "Chirp!"
