After the little green bird left, Maggie thought it would be a very long time before she could see him again. But to her surprise, just one day later, the little green bird, looking dejected, flew back to her.
At that time, Maggie was still thinking about how to mobilize manpower to deal with the Duke's lair, and she was genuinely surprised when she saw the little green bird.
"How did you...?"
Maggie hesitated slightly, about to ask, but then suddenly realized something, shut her mouth tightly, and didn't continue.
Judging from the little green bird's dejected state, the situation in the Elemental Source Realm is probably worse than imagined.
"Alright, human, I admit you're right, there is indeed a problem with the Origin Realm."
Although the little green bird forced himself to fly to Maggie with a proud spirit and calmly acknowledged what Maggie had told him, the worry that emanated from his very bones could not be concealed.
It looked as if the little bird was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Maggie was left unsure how to comfort him. She had learned the news from Ulysses, but she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.
Actually, she sent the little green bird back to the Elemental Source Realm partly to quell his anger, and partly to find out the current situation and the extent of the crisis in the Elemental Source Realm.
And are Roy and the others safe now?
"Did you see anything?"
Maggie asked cautiously.
To everyone's surprise, the little green bird became even more dejected after hearing this. Its feathers were no longer as fluffy as when it first met her, but instead clung tightly to its body like a chubby little chicken that had fallen into the water.
The sadness and grief are visible to the naked eye.
"I didn't go in..."
The little green bird landed in front of Maggie, folded its wings, and then spoke very softly.
"?"
Maggie was taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.
"The entrance to the Elemental Source Realm has been sealed, and elemental spirits are not allowed to enter or leave freely."
That's what the little green bird said.
"how so?"
Upon hearing this, Maggie felt a strong sense of unease, because Roy and the others must have already returned. If they couldn't enter the Elemental Source Realm now, then they...
Thinking about this, Maggie couldn't sit still any longer.
She originally trusted the King of Elements quite a bit, and even knowing that there might be a problem in the Elemental Source Realm, she didn't feel too anxious. She figured the big shot wouldn't just disappear so easily.
But if even their own people aren't allowed in... everything becomes uncertain, and the situation could be quite dire.
"I don't know, and the entrance is very unstable, so unstable that I can feel the king's power leaking out from inside, but I can't get in."
The little green bird was just as worried as Maggie. As an elemental spirit, although he hadn't been back for a very long time, he was still an elemental spirit, so how could he not care about his hometown?
Now that he knows his hometown has been hit by a disaster, he must be much more panicked than Maggie.
Maggie was more worried about her friends.
"..."
After hearing this, Maggie also fell silent. She looked at the densely written words on the table, which were all countermeasures against the Duke.
If things continue at their current pace, it will definitely take a long time before the Duke loses his patience and takes action against her.
Maggie is now, after all, the Holy Maiden of Light, and she doesn't want to have any moral flaws. She wants to stand on the highest ground and judge the Duke, whether for the original owner of this body or for herself.
But the current situation is that Roy and the others desperately need help. She even wants to find a way to enter the Elemental Source Realm right now, to help if she can, and if she can't, to take Roy and the little ghost away.
It might sound cold-blooded, but she's just a human being. It's highly unlikely that she can save someone's hometown, but protecting her good friends and ensuring their survival shouldn't be too difficult.
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Maggie's eyes, and with a flick of her quill pen, all the plans on the paper were rendered useless.
What she lacks most right now is time. The cat-and-mouse game may tire the mouse out and render it powerless to resist, but she doesn't want to play it anymore.
She quickly dealt with the Duke and then went to rescue Roy.
Once she makes a decision, even if ten people try to stop Maggie, they absolutely cannot stop her.
The priest temporarily lent her the authority to command the nuns and priests, so she can now mobilize almost the entire manpower of the Temple of Light, only needing to leave a portion to protect the temple.
Everyone else can follow her to deal with the demon's lair, which is also the Duke's final stronghold.
"I understand. My friends are still inside. Don't worry, I'll help them too."
Maggie pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before speaking these words to the little green bird.
The little green bird was also stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to believe that a human, whose composition was completely different from that of the elemental spirits, would utter such arrogant words.
It didn't speak for a long time, looking at Maggie with a strange gaze for a long time before speaking uncertainly.
"Who...who are your friends?"
Maggie only knew the name Roy, so she could only tell the little green bird that it was Roy.
"Loy".
Upon hearing the name, the little green bird actually frowned on its bird face, looking rather unhappy.
"How could it be him...."
He murmured softly, which drew Maggie's attention.
"What? Is there a problem?"
"Maggie asked."
"It's nothing. You actually made a contract with an elemental spirit that is related to demons, and you're even going to save him. That's quite amazing."
As soon as the little green bird finished speaking, Maggie paused in her movements.
You know?
Maggie thought she was the only one who knew that Roy was Philomona's child.
"Yes, older elemental spirits all know this."
The little green bird wasn't too happy about this, but it still answered Maggie's question.
“You want to save him, but you are human and you can’t enter the Elemental Source Realm.”
He didn't discuss it with Maggie anymore, but changed the subject.
“I have a way to get in. I… can become an elemental spirit.”
Maggie thought this was rather absurd; even the little ghost didn't know about it, so the little green bird certainly wouldn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, the little green bird merely raised its eyebrows, flapped its wings, and showed a thoughtful expression. After a long time, it seemed to have made a very serious decision.
"If that's the case, then can you take me with you when you go?"
He asked in a serious voice.
"?"
Maggie was surprised; she believed her so easily?
"Can."
However, she still agreed.
"Well, I can give you the power that the Elemental King bestowed upon me. If there's an opportunity... could you help the King?"
That's what the little green bird said.
