Weird Wizarding World

   After a while.

  As the transmitted white light gradually disappeared, the familiar palace also appeared in front of him.

   Colin felt relieved when he saw this, and quickly looked around.

   "Where's Nasi?"

  But there was nothing in sight, neither Naxi nor Lillian.

  .

   At this moment, the arch behind him also suddenly closed, and the sound that should have been slight was echoed in the ear by the quiet palace now.

   But just for a moment, the sound disappeared again, and the entire empty palace was silent again... Silent like a wasteland.

   made Colin feel that he might not be away for a few minutes, but for days or years.

   rubbed the emerald necklace in his hand, and the joy that he had obtained the treasure in his heart suddenly disappeared.

   "Did Naxi return to the blue sky by herself because she couldn't find me?"

   With a sullen expression, he stood there for a moment in silence, and then said nothing, just turned around and started from the treasury arch, carefully looking for the traces Naxi might have left inch by inch.

The beautiful and flat top of the arc, the carved doorposts on both sides, the colored door panels on the front... With the help of the super brain, Colin's eyes at this moment are like accurate scanning instruments, and any subtle changes that are different from the previous ones have been searched for. come out.

  Just like this, his gaze went from the arch to the bottom, to the splendid ceiling in front of the door, then to the smooth ground in front of the corresponding door, and finally found a trace of strange traces on the pale gold floor tiles.

It was a little bit of pale red crystal debris, which was inconspicuous on the pale golden floor tiles that were clean but dark red mottled... I am afraid that if they were discovered later, these subtle traces would be used by the palace that still maintains its basic functions. automatically removes dust.

  Colin held his breath and gently picked up the debris with his mental strength.

  'Such dark red flakes that are crystal clear like gems... Could it be that they fell from Nasi's wings? ’

   On his white face, the two sword eyebrows almost met, and he continued to lower his head and walk around the debris in search.

   After a while, a second dark red debris was found on the ground about three or four meters ahead…

  These crumbs are extremely tiny, not even the size of sesame seeds, so it is really hard to find.

   However, Colin has the amazing recognition ability brought by the super brain. After memorizing the characteristics, the efficiency of searching will be higher.

  After finding the second shard, he found the third, the fourth...and that's it, after a while.

   Colin raised his head, and suddenly realized that he had already walked under the three thrones of the palace.

   At this moment, when he looked up, he found that there was a little crystal dark red debris on the throne in the middle.

   gathered the scraps collected in the palm of his hand. At this moment, they gathered together, adding up to a lot, almost having a small half of Naxi's wings... Naxi only has four wings in total.

  Colin paused for a while, then closed his palms, and walked up the steps step by step to the throne.

   He didn't stop at the two pale golden thrones a little earlier, but went straight to the very last and middlemost emerald throne.

   did not rush to pick up the debris on the throne, Colin carefully observed the throne, and then continued to walk towards the back of the throne.

   Behind the Emerald Throne is a wall, a dark, mottled wall carved with a towering ancient tree.

  The original sacred and magnificent murals of the ancient tree of life, under these dark red pollution mottles, inexplicably have a desolate atmosphere.

   bang bang.

   took out the shovel-shaped witch tool that was used to dig holes on the edge of the plain from Margaret's storage ring, and tapped the edge of the wall lightly.

The sound of    was thick and dull, and the touch was firm and firm... But Colin didn't stop, but tapped this wall from left to right, top to bottom, little by little.

   bang, bang, bang…

The dull sound of    kept echoing in the silent palace, like a devout monk kowtowing in front of the Buddha over and over again.

   After a while.

   The continuous sound of kowtow suddenly stopped for a second at a certain moment, breaking the rhythm... Then, it never sounded again.

   But Colin's shovel never stopped!

  The only thing that changed was where the tip struck...the wall there seemed to be just a phantom, the black tip was not obstructed in the slightest, and it went straight through the wall without any collision.

   After probing for another moment, Colin found the scope of the basically seamless phantom in front of him.

The    Phantom is roughly in the shape of an arch, not tall, less than three meters, just behind the throne.

   "If there were no phantoms here, then anyone in the palace, looking up at the Elf Queen, would see the arch behind her at a glance. And, behind the arch... something."

   Colin put away the shovel-shaped witch tool with his backhand, and looked up at the magnificent mural on the wall in front of him.

   "Ani Rase!"

  Like the murals he had seen in the tree hole forest before, when Colin stared at the Eternal Mother tree that the elves regarded as the nurture of all things... Her noble name came to mind.

   Take a look at the archway hidden in phantoms under the frescoes.

   As if struck by lightning, Colin's expression froze, and he faintly realized something.

   A shivering cold air suddenly spread from the tailbone all the way to the Tianling Gai, making him pursed his lips involuntarily and his face turned serious.

   This is the feeling of awe, curiosity and fear that may arise involuntarily in the face of the legendary life.

  “Call~”

   let out a long breath, Colin suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart and shook his head.

  ‘The elves have left, there is no reason for Anilase to stay here…’

   After thinking for a moment in silence, he took out the crown he just got from the treasury from the storage ring.

   After a slight pause, Colin grabbed the two ends of the crown with both hands and put it lightly on his head.

   Spiritual power spread out towards it, the pale golden crown suddenly glowed with dim light, and golden glows like stars appeared in the leaf-shaped gemstone in the front center.

  The crown began to tighten automatically, and it became the most suitable size and was firmly fixed on Colin's head.

   Immediately after, an explanation message appeared in Colin's heart, which made him close his eyes and digest it.

   After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself:

   "The crown of spiritual enlightenment..."

   Without delay, Colin continued to take out the emerald necklace as well.

   also used mental power to imprint the brand, and he also learned the name of the necklace - "The Fountain of Ancient Trees."

  ‘Everything is ready. ’

   Colin supported the crown of spiritual enlightenment on the top of his head, and called out the elf armor made of imitation Treetel's armor. The defensive witchcraft and mechanized mind also blessed him.

   Having done this, he raised his right foot, ready to step over the phantom in front of him.

   As if thinking of something, Colin paused for a moment, then retreated back to the throne, leaned over to pick up a little dark red debris on it, and then turned around and strode straight across the phantom wall!

   As if walking through an ordinary dark arch, Colin just felt that the vision in front of him became dark, and then gradually became clear.

  A huge and rough underground space suddenly appeared.

  The rock walls chiseled with knives and axes support this space. They are the most primitive brown and gray without any modification. If you look closely, you can even see some green stubbornly drilled from the gaps between the rocks.

   However, Colin has no way to pay attention to such details.

   All his vision, and even the thoughts in his mind, were occupied by this majestic and indescribable ancient tree in front of him!

   "Hmm!" Colin trembled in his heart, biting the tip of his tongue forcefully, the pain and the mechanized mind that had already been blessed by his body gave him a brief sobriety.

   It was this sobriety that made him suddenly see the whole picture of the tree...the slightly deformed torso with a thin bottom and a thick top.

  'Isn't this the real tree of life? ! ’

   At the same time, he also saw the familiar little figure on the pale golden flower at the tip of a brown branch in the middle of the deformed trunk of the giant tree—Nasi!

   However, this is not the most surprising thing... Colin's pupils shrank slightly!

   In front of the middle part of the deformed trunk of the big tree, as if a circle of semicircular thorns were buckled, there were dozens of branches, and on each branch, there was a pale golden flower.

   Most of these flowers are just closed buds, only the one near Naxi is slightly open.

   In it, it turned out to be an elf!

   An elf that looks very similar to Naxi, but is light pink!

   But right now!

   A grand but inexplicably revealed a strange voice suddenly sounded, with regular syllables, but it was a language he had never heard before.

   The imitation hammer hit the head directly, and with a hum, Colin's vision suddenly became blurred again, and strange and mixed whispers continued to emerge in his mind.

   It was also at the moment when the voice sounded, the crown of spiritual enlightenment on Colin's head suddenly lit up.

   As if in the hot summer, a ladle of ice water was poured on top of his head. Colin only felt a refreshing feeling like running water winding down, covering the entire scalp in a moment.

   And in such a state, the grand and strange voice gradually became clearer, and gradually became understandable—

   "Shutter, why didn't you come to see me?"

   That voice said so.
