After crossing the forest firebreak, the two discovered that the fairytale town was gone.
After crossing the barrier, they arrived at another forest, the same place where they had encountered the giants before.
"What happened?" After searching many times, the two could only give up in despair. Leng Yue couldn't understand how they could have disappeared in just two days.
Qianchen shook his head as well, "Could it be that some kind of formation has hidden it?"
After all, it's supposed to be a small town, but it can't just disappear in two days. Besides, there isn't even an open space here. Once you cross the barrier, you're in the elven territory the giant mentioned. It doesn't make any sense.
"An array? That's possible..." Leng Yue's array skills were not proficient, so she couldn't tell what kind of array was hiding it.
"Then let's go straight to the Elven realm and see. Maybe we can find out something there." Qianchen looked at the hesitant Lengyue and could only suggest moving forward. They could no longer go to the Eastern Continent, and if they went back, the white-robed man would be in trouble again. They really had no other choice but to go to the Elven realm.
Furthermore, Qianchen went to the Elf race to verify a hypothesis.
As soon as they stepped into the elven territory, the giants appeared again, as expected. Their thunderous footsteps shook the earth. "Hey, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you, if you come again, I won't be polite?"
A thunderous sound rang out, and Qian Chen winked at Leng Yue. Then he turned to the giant and said, "Excuse me, do you know where the town went?"
"You don't know where the town is?" the giant retorted.
Qian Chen shook his head, "We went to the Eastern Continent before and just came back. So, we don't know what happened."
"This town disappears for a period of time every now and then, during which time the four continents can travel freely. However, that was before. Now, no one can pass between continents without a travel permit." After explaining briefly, the giant gave them the order to leave, "You'd better leave now. I said, you can't pass without a travel permit."
"Is this the clearance document you mentioned?" Qianchen pulled out a document from his pocket, the one the town mayor had given them before. Actually, Qianchen was just trying it out. It listed some taboos of the Four Continents, not saying whether it could be used in all four continents, but it also didn't say it couldn't be used at all.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Qianchen took out the file and put it to the test.
The giant pulled out an enormous magnifying glass, examined the document carefully, and then nodded. "This is the pass document. Since you have it, come in."
After the giant finished speaking, he took a step back and no longer blocked their way. Leng Yue and Qian Chen didn't stand on ceremony and followed him inside the instant the giant stepped aside, afraid that he might change his mind.
They entered the elven forest and discovered that it was truly beautiful.
The trees inside were completely different from those outside; every single one seemed exceptionally green and full of life. Various colorful flowers and grasses grew among the trees, bathed in sunlight, with wisps of steam rising from each tree and blade of grass. The entire forest was like a fairyland, almost like it had its own dry ice effect!
"Hello, welcome to the Elf race, I'm Pikachu." As they watched, a little elf hopped out of the forest, cute and pretty, though its name was rather common.
"You're really called Pikachu?" Leng Yue looked at him. "Don't you also have Psyduck and Charizard?"
"Hmm, how did you know?" Pikachu looked at Leng Yue, then raised its megaphone and shouted at the giant, "Da Zhuang, did you say our names again? Didn't we agree not to spoil our names?"
"No, I didn't say that." The giant named Dazhuang glanced at Pikachu and Qianchen. "You two keep chatting, I need to rest."
After Dazhuang finished speaking, he disappeared along the same path with a "rumble".
"Why would your elven race accept giants? Aren't you afraid they'll drive you out?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled. Pikechu, upon hearing Leng Yue's question, also forgot about his previous name.
"Giants don't produce anything; they rely on us elves to feed them. It's a win-win situation for us. If they offend us, they won't have anything to eat in the future," Pikachu said proudly. "We elves are the greatest, and our king is the greatest!"
"The land here is fertile, so the giants don't know how to cultivate it?" Leng Yue observed that the flowers, plants, and trees here all possessed spiritual energy. The giants didn't actually need to worry much; as long as they planted the crops, they should have a good harvest.
"They are large in size and have a high energy requirement and consumption. Therefore, they are simply unable to engage in productive labor. We elves are the complete opposite. We love to work and do not consume much. We always have surplus food, which eventually leads to food waste."
"Therefore, accepting the giants is also a win-win choice," Pikachu said logically.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a smile. "It seems you know quite a lot. It seems your king attaches great importance to your education!"
"Of course! Our Pokémon King is the most astute of all kings in history. No decision she makes is ever wrong!" Pikachu became even more proud when the king was mentioned.
Pokémon, Pikachu, Psyduck... Is this really not the world of Pokémon?
"Can we see your king? From what you've said, I'm starting to admire him." Leng Yue was becoming increasingly curious. Just who was this Pokémon King?
"Sure, come with me." Pikachu was overjoyed to hear that Leng Yue admired their king, and rushed to the front, "Quick, quick, I'll take you there right away."
“Let me tell you, our king is the most hospitable. She will be very happy that you admire her so much.” Once Pikachu started talking, she couldn’t stop. “Our king is the wisest person in our elf race. Her lover is the most beautiful woman in the elf race. Her teacher is the wisest man in the elf race. In short, our king is very, very amazing.”
"Look, this is our Elven mother tree. We were all born from this mother tree." Passing by an altar, there grew a tree that required ten adults to encircle it. The tree was filled with spiritual energy and was laden with fruit.
"Those fruits are the newborns?" Leng Yue looked at them, each one resembling a ginseng fruit, some even glowing.
“Yes, in another hundred years, these little elves will be born.” Pikechu excitedly pointed to a delicate baby. “That’s my future wife. Isn’t she beautiful?”
Leng Yue: ...What's the deal? She's already been reserved so early, how pitiful!
"How did you know?" Qianchen knew what Lengyue was thinking, so she asked on her behalf.
“Our clan’s fortune teller says that everyone’s marriage is predetermined,” Pikachu replied with a smile. “Our fortune teller says that everyone is born with a red thread, and whoever is on the other end of that red thread is who we are.”
Qianchen nodded. "Yes, I've heard that saying."
