Chapter 223: The Elven King 4
What the elven king said before, maybe Wood didn't take it to heart, and naturally he didn't care about the flashing thing he saw just now.
When he got back to his room, Wood went to sleep, and that night, he didn't even dream. When they woke up the next day, it was getting nice, and Wood thought they might have to go back. But soon Wood learned that Wells and Suri had not returned yesterday.
Peckney had told Wood about it when it got dark yesterday, only then they thought they would be back later. But today Peckney went to Su Rui's room early in the morning, but there was no one to be seen. She went to Wells's room again and found that Wells's room, likewise, was not in his room. Perkney realizes that something is serious and quickly tells Wood about it.
"Haven't they come back yet?" asked Wood, Wells had always been steadfast in his work, and he wouldn't have let everyone worry if it hadn't been for some accidents. What's more, this time he was not alone, but with Su Rui.
"Yes, I got up early this morning to see, neither of them was in their room, do you think, will they be in any danger?" asked Perkney nervously, her brother knew best, even if he wanted to know everything here, but he would not be so rude.
"I'll go and ask the elven king, I guess it's all safe here, it's likely that they're lost. Wood reassured Wood as a sense of foreboding enveloped him. Although I said this, I couldn't help but worry in my heart.
"I went and asked, and the Elven King said that he had something very important to do, so he left last night. Peckney said that when she found out that Wells had not returned all night, her first thought was to go to the elven king, but the elves told her that the kingdom had left the night before, saying that there was something important to do. As for when you will be back, it depends on the situation.
That's why Pekney is so nervous, the elven king is not here, and Wells may really be in danger.
"Don't worry, let's ask the elves. Wood took Pekney to the elves. From the elves, Wood knew that the entire elven kingdom was very large. The entire Central Plains Continent is the territory of the Elven Kingdom, and because they have just returned here, it is not very clear what has changed here over the years.
Hearing this, Pekney only felt that the situation was going in a dangerous direction, going farther and farther.
Wood asked a lot, but the answers he got were not clear. The entire Central Plains Continent is very vast, and even if they want to find it, the strength of a few of them is far from enough.
"Looks like we're going to have to turn to Professor Siye for help. Wood said that they were still in the illusion, and that Professor Theye must be able to see the whole illusion.
Wood tells Peckney to leave the illusion and go to Professor Siye for help, while he and Mante stay here. If Professor Siye found out something, they would have been able to get there in time.
It's just that Pekney came back not long after she left.
"What's the matter, aren't you at ease?" Wood thought that Peckney was not comfortable staying here.
"No, Wood. As Pekney spoke, with tears in her voice, Wood immediately realized something.
"Is there something unusual in the illusion?" Wood asked uneasily, at last knowing what the uneasiness in his heart was today.
Whenever Wood was in danger, Wood always felt uneasy. As soon as he learned that Wells and Suri hadn't returned all night, the uneasiness had been around Wood.
"Yes, I did what Professor Siye said, but it didn't work at all. I think there must be something wrong with the illusion, this illusion was improvised by Professor Siye, could it be that we will be stuck here all the time and can't get out?" Pekney said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Professor Siye will definitely find a way to make amends, now let's go to Wells and Suri first. Wood said, waking up Mante, who was still sleeping, who didn't know what was happening. Seeing Pekney's somewhat red and swollen eyes, and then looking at Wood's restless look, Mante sensed the seriousness of the matter.
"What the hell is going on?" Mante asked.
Wood made things clear in simple words, and hearing that Wells and Suri hadn't returned all night, Mante hurriedly packed his things and followed Wood to find Wells and them.
This time, Wood didn't enter the illusion with the butterflies, as Professor Theye said that butterflies would be a threat to the illusions. So, this time, they are afraid that they will have to find it from place to place.
"When Wells was on an expedition, he always left some traces to prevent him from getting lost. If we can find these traces of Wells, we may find them sooner. It was a secret between the two of them, Pekney said.
Wells once told Peckney that if she went to a strange place by herself, she must remember to leave some traces to prevent herself from getting lost. The marks they leave behind are not noticed by the average person, because those traces are left in some very inconspicuous places.
Pekney walked at the front, aimlessly searching for something. Wherever it looks difficult to walk, where it looks dangerous, Peckney goes. For Wells, Pekney knows very well, although she doesn't know which direction Wells is going. But looking around, it will be easy for Peckney to pick the direction in which Wells is likely to go.
Because Mante got up late and didn't have time to eat breakfast, before leaving, Mante deliberately found a big bag and filled it with food. All kinds of food, in the elven kingdom, the happiest thing for Mante is that everything here is so delicious that you can't stop eating.
So Mante ate all the way, walked all the way, it was not lively, it didn't look like he was looking for someone at all, but like he came here to visit and browse.
Wood followed behind Pekney, carefully observing everything around her, which had been abandoned for more than a hundred years and was now restored, but it was not to be taken lightly.
"Hey, what do you see I've found?" After walking for a long time, he suddenly heard Pekney's excited voice.
