Amidst the expectant gazes of countless people, the Elf Realm has finally appeared.
On the calm surface of Tianshui Lake, a huge phantom of a tree appeared in mid-air, with massive branches extending outwards along the water's surface, almost occupying most of the lake's surface.
Immediately afterwards, mist swirled across the lake, and soon eight huge mist vortexes appeared on the lake's surface, disturbing the surrounding space.
Several dense streams of magical energy shot into the sky, causing the lake surface to tremble violently, all proclaiming the wonder of the secret realm.
The eight vortex entrances, which were far apart, gradually stabilized, and the secret realm officially opened, a few days earlier than expected.
Instantly, the lake surface boiled. Countless boats rushed towards the nearest target, and the flying boats in the sky had also selected their targets and dispersed to various locations.
The princess's ship also set sail, and the girls all stood on the deck, looking at the lively scene ahead.
Inside the cabin.
"Teacher, this is the letter that Luo Fan asked you to give to Lilith." Caitlin then took out the thing that Luo Fan had instructed her to give her.
Gandalf glanced at it briefly; it was a letter and a knife, but he couldn't make out the contents.
“I’ve already read what’s inside. He wants to seek Lilith’s help. Teacher, you can take a look too. Luo Fan is worried that a big battle will break out and hurt Ellie, so he wants to call her out.”
Rumors about this have spread widely, especially since the royal family has even scaled back the expedition.
"And this carving knife?"
The carving knife was covered in black powder, and he couldn't see what was inside. He scanned the letter; Luo Fan's analysis was quite logical, but it didn't take into account the current situation.
With these bigwigs in charge, the likelihood of a major war breaking out is low, but localized conflicts are certainly unavoidable.
However, if that woman is really brought up, many more people will probably suffer.
“I don’t know either. He said Lilith would understand once she saw it, making it all quite mysterious,” Caitlin continued to explain. She had seen it but couldn’t see anything fishy about it.
"However, he specifically instructed that we must not leak this out, otherwise the consequences would be very serious."
“Okay.” After putting the envelope away, Caitlin took out a dagger and handed it over.
He said it contained spatial elements as payment for delivering the message at this time.
"Really?" The old man took it, quickly understood the key point, and readily agreed to Caitlin's request. "Don't worry, I will definitely give it to her personally."
"That little rascal really understands my feelings!"
After saying this, Gandalf laughed, gave Catelyn a few more instructions, and then disappeared.
"Is the Empire really as dangerous as he described?" Caitlin silently pondered the contents of the letter, feeling that something was being concealed. And where did Luo Fan get that carving knife?
Once we enter the secret realm, I'll have to interrogate him properly. That guy, watching him play with Xianxian every day, completely oblivious to what's happening outside—it makes me angry just thinking about it.
The eight enormous passageways did not absorb the ships. As the leader used the Elf Gem to lead a large group of adventurers into the secret realm, the lake gradually became much calmer, except for the ships that slowly sailed away.
By the time the princess led the team to complete the teleportation, there weren't many people left around.
Only the powerful figures flying in the air remained, seemingly seeing the adventurers off.
"Leave one entrance in the southeast, and begin setting up the formation in the other directions!"
After a long while, the old man's voice echoed continuously above Tianshui Lake. Anyone who leaves the secret realm will be searched by them.
The Fountain of Life is related to the future of some people, and more big shots will arrive in a while.
Watching Catelyn and the others disappear into the secret realm, Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the busy archmages, and shook his head.
When his own lifespan is nearing its end, he will probably take the same measures. He just doesn't know how much life-giving spring will be produced this time, or how many lives it will extend.
After a brief exchange with some people, he summoned his magical pet and disappeared between the water and the sky.
Within the secret realm.
As soon as Caitlin and her group landed, they were attacked by a group of tree spirits. The group of over a hundred people was surrounded, and some were even swept into the ground before they could even stand properly. Many others took the opportunity to escape.
After all, only by coming in with the main force can you guarantee your survival rate upon landing.
When Luo Fan appeared, many people were busy defending against the enemy and had already killed quite a few tree demons.
"Caitlin, are we already killing wood-type magical beasts?" Looking at the noisy adventurers, Luo Fan shook his head. The princess's side was much more orderly.
When Freya Thunderbird released its aura, these mid-level tree spirits quickly scattered and fled, leaving behind a mess of corpses.
"The landing point was terrible this time. I wonder how many other elemental monsters I'll have to kill to make up for it." Caitlin sighed as she looked at the discolored elven gem in her hand.
"Is this the so-called curse of the wood elves?" Luo Fan stared at the green gem and examined it carefully.
"Yes, as long as a gem carries a curse, its guiding function will be weakened."
"Then we can just not use it. It's just a secret realm, it's not a problem for me."
"Brother Fan, you're already level 56!" Little Bell's voice rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the girls.
"Of course, I'll upgrade it when I'm bored! Caitlin, let me study this gem and see if I can find the key to it."
"Oh~"
After stabilizing their formation and determining their location, the group set off, following the faint shadow of a large tree in the distance. The archmage flew ahead to scout the way, followed by the others who checked the route, and finally, Caitlin's group arrived last.
In the Elf Realm, there's a very prominent signpost: the shadow of a giant tree in the distance. It's said that if you find the physical form of the shadow, you can find the location of the Fountain of Life.
The spirit gem acts as a guide, pointing out the exit. If it is cursed, this guiding function will gradually weaken until it becomes completely useless.
After roughly understanding the principle behind the gem, Luo Fan tossed it to Caitlin. This thing collects the lingering resentment of dead magical beasts of various elements; it collects those killed by humans, but not those killed by magical beasts.
However, as the succubus sister had told him before, killing too many demonic pets would definitely have an impact, so he should be careful.
Let's help Xianxian break through first; the little girl is almost unable to suppress her desires.
Having found a relatively stable spot, several people inexplicably fell into the pit and disappeared before everyone's eyes. Whether they lived or died, no one knew.
Luo Fan had discovered the hidden passages beforehand, but he was too lazy to warn anyone. He preferred to have as few outsiders as possible, and he didn't even want Sean around.
None of the other members of the Ice Cream Mercenary Group came in this time, so Luo Fan didn't have much to worry about.
Inside the tent, the water element surrounding Xianxian was extremely agitated, seemingly urging her to break through her current realm. If others knew this, they would be green with envy.
Level 50 is a hurdle for many monsters; if you don't find the right opportunity, you'll be stuck at that level forever. However, compared to level 70, this hurdle is much easier to overcome.
"Caitlyn, you need to be prepared too. Freya and Toria, be on guard, as well as the others. If any bad guys get close, don't hesitate to kill them!"
Luo Fan made the arrangements, while simultaneously instructing Xianxian to release her suppressed demonic energy and enter a breakthrough state.
Soon, a powerful water element spread out, and even more water elements were drawn together, attracting the attention of many people.
However, due to the tent, they had no idea what was happening inside.
