Chapter 71(1/5)
() For example, the verdant plains became the hunting ground for the terrifying fire dragon, and the vast desert was filled with sandstorms like a scorching hell.
The largest magical realm on Rhodes Island is located in the Kingdom of Alanya, which has the oldest history on the island.
It's called "The Forest of No Return".
※※※
A young girl walks in a dense forest.
She has a well-proportioned figure and wears a green leafy short-sleeved dress.
And she's not human.
There can be no human beings in this forest because they believe that those who enter this forest of no return will never be able to leave the forest.
This girl is a temptress.
Moreover, they are ancient elves known as the high-level elves. They are also a noble race that has no fate of death and enjoys eternal life. Although the girl looks young, she has probably lived more than twice the human lifespan.
She has long golden hair and slender ears unique to the goblins.
There is a decoration made of fruit wrapped around her forehead, and a crystal jewelry hangs on her chest. There is a belt tied around her waist, and she wears a fine handmade slender sword. Her feet are like birch trees.
The white, knee-length cloth boots are fixed with straw ropes.
The girl walking lightly on the forest path looked like she was flying.
At this moment, the girl suddenly stopped.
She raised her head, her green pupils staring at the treetops of the forest.
Then the treetops rustled as if they were shaking, and the sound became louder and louder, as if the entire forest was echoing.
The enchanting girl smiled slightly and jumped up slightly. Then she climbed up the tree with smooth movements and sat on one of the stronger branches.
"The wind from the west, the traveler thousands of miles away..."
The enchantress girl stretched her right hand to her head and called to the traveler who made the forest roar.
"Who is it?"
Not long after, a voice responded. But if you didn't understand the language of the elves, you would just think it was the wind whispering in a low voice.
"Me? My name is Deedlit, and I live in this forest."
The girl who claimed to be Deedlit waved, and then the wind around her formed a small whirlpool and turned into the wind elf Sylph.
In Deedlit's eyes, this wind elf is like a transparent and naked enchantress girl. Perhaps if she took off her clothes and became transparent, she would have the same appearance as it.
"Talk to me and tell me about the world you saw when you traveled..."
The wind elves were flying quietly in front of Deedlit's eyes.
Deedrit closed her eyes and listened to every word the elf told her.
In this way, we can understand the meaning of the wind spirit, and the scenery seen when West Wind travels also appears in his mind.
Vast oceans, rugged mountains and verdant plains.
The cities where humans live are like streets scarred on the earth.
The last thing that came to Deedlit's mind was the panoramic view of this forest.
"Thank you, Sylph."
Deedrit slowly opened her eyes and seemed to still be enjoying the afterglow. Then she took off the crystal jewelry and stretched it out in front of Sylph.
Chanting spiritual mantras in his mouth.
"Will you stay with me for a while longer?"
Immediately, the transparent body of the wind elf swayed like a mirage, and was gradually sucked into the crystal jewelry in Deedlit's hand.
Deedlit picked up the crystal and stared at it.
Siluv's figure appeared in the crystal of the transparent hexagonal pillar.
Deedlit nodded with satisfaction, jumped down from the branch lightly, and continued walking along the forest path at a brisk pace.
At this moment, she realized that someone was walking towards her.
"Estas!"
She soon knew who the other party was.
Immediately, Deedlit's face lit up with joy.
"What are you doing here?"
The response from the other party came quickly.
Estas wears light green clothes and a dead leaf cloak, a hat with feathers on his head, and shoulder-length platinum hair underneath.
In the goblin village in this forest, Estas is the second youngest goblin after Deedlit, so Deedlit feels very close to him.
However, the age difference between the two was still twice as much, so Estas only regarded Deedlit as a child.
This is also what Deedlit cared about most for decades.
"I was just chatting with West Wind and listening to it talk about things outside the forest."
"What happened outside the forest?"
Deedlit's answer made Estas frown.
"There is another world outside the forest. For us, this forest is the only world, because it is the closest to our hometown of the Fairy World."
Estas spoke slowly, as if singing a lullaby.
Then he strode up to Deedlit as if he had thought of something.
"Didn't I tell you not to catch elves randomly?"
Estas took Deedlit's jewelry and looked at the wind elf trapped in the jewelry.
"That's something only black fairies would do, right?"
Deedlit pouted to express dissatisfaction.
"But the dominated elves are also my friends. They will help me when needed. And there are some places where natural elves cannot operate, right Estas?"
"What you said is not wrong."
Estas looked into Deidre's green eyes, as if he wanted to say something to her.
But seeing her smile that looked like victory, he finally shook his head and remained silent.
At this time, a corner of Estas' vision began to flicker.
Deedlit seemed to feel it too.
The two of them looked in the same direction at the same time.
They are human beings, but they do not actually exist.
His body was as transparent as a phantom, like a lost soul.
He is about thirty years old, which can be said to be the heyday of human beings.
This man was wearing simple clothes and a cloak made of animal skin. He had a long bow on his back and a small sword on his waist.
It looks like a hunter's outfit.
Estas's expression was slightly distorted by disgust. He must be thinking in his heart that that longbow killed countless animals in the forest.
"here we go again……"
Deedlit said this while holding her breath.
This illusory figure floated across the forest path, and gradually disappeared under the gaze of Deedlit and others.
"I've seen him a lot recently. Maybe the control of the Forest King will be lifted. I didn't expect that a human without fairy blood would have such strong willpower..."
It seems Estas is quite troubled by this.
The reason why this forest is called the Forest of No Return is because in ancient times, a contract was made with the Spirit King of the Forest to protect it.
The person who made the contract with the King of the Forest was the elder of the high-level elf clan who was well versed in the mysteries of elf magic.
A long time ago, the elder asked the Forest Elf King for protection in order to prevent humans from destroying the forest.
This is an extremely great magic, but it is a terrible curse for humans.
The Spirit King opened a powerful barrier centered on the ancient tree at the source of the forest. Except for a few areas on the periphery, the entire forest was shrouded in this barrier.
Those who enter this enchantment will be shut in the magical space "Psychedelic Forest" created by the King of Forests, and will be lost in this different world forever.
To escape the barrier, one must have spiritual power that can surpass the spirit king of the forest. However, the birds and beasts in the forest that abide by the laws of the forest, as well as those with the blood of the forest spirit clan, will not be affected.
It's natural for Estas to be troubled.
"He may have the qualifications to become an elf."
Deedlit didn't care at all, because she believed that if only one person could escape from the magic spell, it wouldn't be a serious problem at all.
To be continued...
