"But the elements there are so concentrated, how are we supposed to get down?" Yun Wei couldn't help but ask Oakes.
Even though the other person looked "cute but brainless," he didn't let his guard down.
That level of near-boiling tide of elements.
Just kidding, he hadn't forgotten that Alch had vanished in the torrent of elements.
However, O. Oaks only spun around twice in place.
"Incantation, whoosh!" the other person exclaimed excitedly.
The incantation mentioned in this context must undoubtedly be one of the forbidden incantations mentioned in the previous "The Wise Man's Sayings".
Yun Wei took out the nearly rotten magic book again and spread it out on the messy workbench.
He carefully examined the spells recorded at the back of the book and discovered that these spells, belonging to the seven elements, were different from ordinary spells.
The parts of their "opening prayer" are all the same.
Yun Wei immediately pressed on, "Can the elemental tide below be calmed simply by reciting the 'Opening Prayer'?"
After all, it's impossible to actually unleash a forbidden spell.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" Oakes immediately waved his tiny elbows and cheered enthusiastically.
Unable to understand this expression that only used onomatopoeia, Yun Wei could only look to the all-knowing translator.
The translator, who was standing still, was silently bowing as he watched the interaction between the person and the fruit, and fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes as he smiled.
Isaac said, "Perhaps we can give it a try."
It seems his previous guess was correct. Yun Wei nodded, finally agreeing.
Afterwards, the two said goodbye to Little Acorn.
They stood at the door of the herb-gathering hut, and Isaac invited Yunwei to lie on his back.
He wanted to carry him down.
Isaac crouched down, and Yun Wei stared at the other's unguarded broad shoulders and narrow waist, slightly taken aback.
He was once carried on Isaac's back.
Back in Alchemy City, on a market day, they went on their first date.
As the city lights began to twinkle, he nestled against the other's broad back.
It looks flat there, but only when you press it tightly together can you see how powerful and sharp the muscle texture is hidden under that thin clothing.
At that moment, Yun Wei suddenly realized that he remembered everything so clearly.
He didn't keep Isaac waiting and obediently lay down on top of him.
Hooking his arm around the other's neck and locking his waist, Yun Wei raised his hand and pointed to the lush greenery below.
The brilliant halo of the elemental sea seeped up through the gaps between the layers of roots and branches, instantly resembling countless bright stars, weaving a magical and magnificent interplay of light and shadow.
His chin rested on the knight's shoulder as he watched the knight dive down without hesitation.
In the howling wind, they plummeted together.
In the tranquil space, the hoarse chanting of a magician could be faintly heard, and time seemed to stand still for a moment—
"I am the master of time and space, having made a pact with the sprouts of the past. Thus, the past flows on, never ceasing day and night..."
"At this moment, I must be surrounded by immeasurable elements to reveal my true form and discard my disguise..."
"At this moment, I must adorn my thoughts with boundless wisdom, punish my delusions, and penetrate the mysteries..."
...
"The order must be issued in the name of the wise. You shall heed it attentively!"
At this point, the entire "Open Prayer" section has been sung.
Below, the boiling sea of elements had already begun to rise with sparkling, multicolored bubbles as Yun Wei chanted.
They surged up joyfully, starting from the tree canopy and rushing back towards the roots.
The two of them were going against the surging tide of bubbles, as if they were on a swaying giant wave.
The light of the elements was too dazzling for them to open their eyes; the whistling of the bubbles was too deafening for them to hear.
A myriad of flowers bloom in vibrant splendor, while a hundred rivers flow into the Yellow River.
They don't distinguish between oxen and horses, nor do they ask about east or west.
In the endless silence, all the two could do was hold each other's hands tightly.
This is another kind of sensory deprivation, and only honest touch can comfort the other person:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
...
After an unknown amount of time, the wind finally stopped.
Yun Wei tried to open his eyes, but what came into view was Isaac's clearly visible jawline.
But for some reason, the other person seemed to be in a daze at the moment.
"Isa".
Only after Yun Wei spoke did the knight squat down and put the mage behind him down.
They were standing on a high cliff.
Looking into the distance, Yun Weichao could see a city lying on the plain.
The jewel of St. Lucy Cathedral still shines brightly, and wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys, enticing the lazy clouds on the horizon.
That's Moonflower City.
But it is definitely not the Moonflower City of today.
Because there were no gorgeous brocade carpets hanging on the city walls, nor were there any flowers covering the city gates, and the city was well-planned, it was far less beautiful than the Moonflower City he had seen, but rather had a cold and solemn grandeur.
The knight beside him was also gazing in the direction of Moonflower City, without uttering a word.
Seeing Isaac's strange reaction, Yun Wei had a vague idea in his mind.
He asked softly, "This is the Moonflower City of the past, isn't it?"
It's just unclear whether it refers to the first dynasty or the second dynasty.
If it's the latter...
Yun Wei remembered that Isaac had once told him that Isaac's blood relatives had been banished to an unknown spacetime rift by the Lord of Chaos at the beginning of the War of Glory.
Yun Wei's feelings at this moment were hard to describe, but he knew that Isaac's feelings were definitely more complicated than his.
After a long pause, Isaac finally answered, "I don't know."
But the other person's chin was clearly very taut.
Yun Wei understood; this must be Moonflower City from the Second Dynasty.
More accurately, it is Moonflower City, where Isaac lived.
Beyond the high cliff lies a winding path leading to a majestic castle even higher up, a sight Yun Wei had never seen in the real world.
Yun Wei asked, "Will we find the answer once we go there?"
“I don’t know,” the knight repeated, his already pale face growing even more ashen. “I’m sorry, Cloud. It’s just that I… am a little scared.”
He feared his hopes would be dashed, and he also feared that reality would shatter the last vestiges of his dreams.
Yun Wei could understand.
He himself was in a state of utter confusion, let alone the person involved.
They were completely unprepared.
Yun Wei stared quietly at the faintly glowing magic array beneath his feet. With just a thought, they could leave this place.
But the souls imprisoned here cannot.
According to the laws of the soul revealed by the goddess Kirhorna, the number of souls in this space must be conserved.
A bad feeling crept into his heart; it was a magician's keen intuition about the future.
Yun Wei felt a tightness in his throat.
So he tentatively suggested, "Perhaps we can come again next time. If you don't feel ready yet—"
“No, we’re coming right now.” But Isaac suddenly made up his mind. “Let’s go, Cloud.”
"I will not run away; the answer lies hidden within that palace."
"If all goes well, we will meet my parents and my grandmother."
