There is a loss.

This is the gibbon's summary of what has happened on this settlement.

Of course, in his narration, he also irresponsibly answered Elise's question about the Raven Valley Lord - "Maybe the Raven Valley Lord knew about this, but he never mentioned it. ”

But as for the reason why he didn't mention this matter to others, it was probably to stabilize the people's hearts.

So, then again, what exactly is existential loss?

That's how the gibbons explain it.

"I think you should know about the treatment of these people who have been banished to the first layer, right?" The gibbon sat on the ground and looked at Elise with a puzzled expression.

"You mean that...... A ban on night blindness? Elise thought for a moment.

"Night blindness...... Is it? The gibbon chewed on the word, then shook his head with a smile, "It's really romantic, but it's not wrong for you to understand it that way, in short, it's something made up by the guy named Cang Shark, who by virtue of his ability to affect the senses, has imposed all kinds of bans on those who make mistakes, disobey orders, and disagree, and the night blind ban you just mentioned is one of them." ”

"But you know what?" The gibbon continued, "When I first came to this place with this group, they were completely normal except for night blindness. ”

"What does it mean to be completely normal......?" Elise asked.

"That is to say, except for being invisible in a dark place, the other functions are no different from normal people." The gibbon replied, "Therefore, even if they are banished, the lives of these people are not bad, and I who 'live' in this magical supply center will occasionally have a few visitors, so that I will not be lonely." ”

"Will you have any visitors at that time?" Elise was a little surprised.

"Yes." The gibbon remembered the past and smiled ugly, "At that time, this magic center was not as tightly locked up as it is now." ”

"What's going on behind that?" Elise couldn't help but ask.

"Well, sort of." The gibbon looked at the big square beside Elise, revealing a somewhat lonely expression, "Later, those crows couldn't stand the existence of those high-level abyssal demons in their own race, so they offered to draw a line with those crows, and left the settlement with their families, went to a mountain range quite far from here, and established a place that you called the Valley of Ravens. ”

"Hmm......" Elise felt as if she was listening to a story of history, "and then?" What about after the Raven Man is gone? ”

"After the group of crow people left, those crows who catered to the high-level abyssal demons, the culprits who caused the crow army to leave, also left the settlement, and also took some people who were also willing to cater to the high-level abyssal demons by the way." The gibbon sighed, "And their departure led to the disaster that followed." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Well, that's right." The gibbon nodded, "Their departure brought with them the second advent of the Abyss Demons, and the second prohibition issued by the Shark, after all, it is not permissible to openly resist the rule in public, and the departure of those traitors has brought the news of these crimes down." ”

"Then this second prohibition is indeed the current ......," Elise thought of the scene in Lubrum's words, and suddenly a layer of sadness welled up in her heart.

"That's right, that's the loss of existence." The gibbon said, "The shark has completely erased the ability of all the inhabitants of this settlement to express themselves outward, from their appearance to their ability to make a sound, which is why these transparent people are born." ”

"And me." The gibbon looked around and sighed, "I've also been locked in this prison forever, and I can only be with the magic core for the rest of my life. ”

"And the crows don't know it?" Elise was shocked by the gibbon's story.

"Yes, not at all." The gibbon nodded, "Although I'm not sure if the valley lord knows all this, but since so many years have passed, I probably understand, maybe the valley lord of the Raven Valley knows about this, but he never mentioned it." ”

The gibbon said.

……

After learning everything that happened in the land from the gibbon in front of her, Elise remembered a man.

"By the way, I had a companion climb in through the top passageway, and he hasn't heard from him since, so I'd like to ask, are there any other rooms in this mana supply center? I'm a little worried about him. ”

Hearing this, the gibbon couldn't help but frown, even though he didn't have eyebrows.

"Other rooms?" The gibbon stretched out his long arm and pointed to the four walls of the room and the thick white mist in front of them, "There are doors on top of these walls that lead to other places, but as I said before, I am locked in this room, so I don't know what is in the other rooms now, because every door behind these walls is the same as the one you came in, and I can't open it at all." ”

In that case, that means I can't communicate with Lublum with the communicator, Elise thought to herself.

After all, the building was completely covered in magic, and the sturdiness and isolation of the previous door were unusually high, so even if Elise entered the center of the building, it would not change anything.

"I see." Elise nodded, "In that case, I'll open them door by door, by the way." ”

"What?"

"You didn't have these doors when you first moved in, did you?" Elise asked, "Do you know what was in the room around here before?" ”

"I remember it was ......"

"Ha, ha...... Elise, so you're already in. ”

Just as the gibbon was about to answer, Lublum's figure appeared at the door of the door that had been melted by Elise, panting.

"Why are you here?" Elise couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the man in front of her, "Didn't you climb in from the roof?" ”

"Don't mention it." Lubrom shook his head, "It's not a passage at all, just a ventilation pipe that has been blocked by something sturdy for a long time, and it's long abandoned, and I'm going to have to crawl out after all the effort to climb in, and I'm going to die of exhaustion." ”

Elise's face suddenly became expressionless, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
