Chapter 143: Saya Game (Part II)
The first palace was such a difficult problem that Ulysses found himself vastly underestimating the difficulty of the game. Maybe Saya saw through him from the beginning and knew his weaknesses, so he chose this way of playing.
Holding the little fox girl in white who seemed to have slept quietly, Ulysses stepped into the palace in the middle.
The scenery I saw this time was completely different from just now, there were no cards flying around, there was no sea of blue water elements, everything here was so natural and fresh.
At first glance, you don't think you're in the palace, you're in the forest. Plants were full of life, and soft light broke into the woods through the dense treetops, leaving dappled spots of light on the ground.
Unknown vines and plants covered the walls, and there was a little dew on the young green leaves of the trees. Under the canopy, low shrubs crowded the spaces between the trees, and clusters of bright red berries hung from east to west.
Just by looking at the view, Ulysses could guess who the owner of this palace was, after all, the layout here is too obvious.
"Nanali, is that you?" Ulysses, holding the little fox girl in white, sounded to the deserted woods.
There was a slight sound of breaking wind in the depths of the woods, and an emerald green figure landed lightly in front of him after jumping a few times in the shadows of the trees with a skill that was so nimble that Ulysses could barely see clearly.
With a pretty oval face, sad green eyes, and a petite body, this is the fairy Nanali who warned Ulysses when he entered the underground tunnels and tried to drive him away.
"You shouldn't be here. Nanali looked at Ulysses in front of her with sorrowful eyes, the purpose of her sneak attack was to keep him out of trouble, not to completely open up this dangerous underground world.
"Because there are many, many friends in the city, I can't leave it alone. Uurisistan confessed his purpose.
At this time, the people of Taji City may have discovered the anomaly underground, and he needs to solve the problem here as soon as possible.
"That lord doesn't care about the things of the mortal world, if you don't come here, this entire demon realm will not be opened. Nanali looked at Ulysses with complicated eyes.
His arrival gave her a chance to be free, but it was also the key to disaster. As a goblin who loves nature, she can't watch the disaster she has caused, so she deliberately instructs the monsters born from the trees to attack those who try to inspect the underground waterways.
However, the operation appeared to have failed. Not because there was anything wrong with her strategy, but because of the arrival of a strong man like Ulysses.
The task of a mere underground waterway is generally impossible to attract the attention of a person of this magnitude. Even if there are really powerful monsters in the underground tunnels, as long as the monsters do not come out of the underground tunnels, the city managers will automatically choose to forget about it in the end.
After all, humanity has always had a high-minded attitude towards disasters that do not concern them. It doesn't matter what monsters there are in the underground waterways, as long as the monsters love to be in the dark gutters.
However, Ulysses came, and easily solved the powerful tongue monster, and the meaning of continuing to go deeper, she couldn't help but take action herself and try to stop him.
However, she thinks too highly of her own strength, and even if she has tried her best to attack with her strengthened strength, she is no match at all in front of Ulysses.
Eventually, "the Lord" inevitably woke up and showed additional interest in Ulysses, which led to the full awakening of the underground realm, and the situation finally reached a point of no return.
"That lord, do you mean Saya?" Ulysses certainly knew who created this underground demon, but he was surprised that Nanali looked like the victim, but he didn't have the slightest hatred for Saya.
No, not only is there no hatred, but there is also a feeling of great reverence and compliance.
"The power possessed by Lord Saya is supreme, and it is a realm that no goblin can reach. Speaking of Saya's matter, Nanali, who was the victim, trembled slightly.
It's like the most devout believer talking about "God," it's the feeling of worship, respect, and giving everything you have without conditions.
"For us elves, Lord Saya's orders are absolute, and they represent the will of our clan's origins. "Even though Saya has done something very excessive, and even her body is used as a material for cultivating seeds, Nanali, who really feels Saya's power, not only does not complain in the slightest, but feels honored.
She believed that not only her, but any goblin who had truly felt the essence of Saya's power would feel exactly the same way as her.
For the goblins who love nature and are born of nature, the power of Saya is the concept of "god" that is truly close to it.
That kind of power is beyond the scope of what this world can imagine, no matter how powerful the goblins can't reach, and the only power that belongs to Saya is the power.
If Saya is willing to descend on the elves and show this power, the naturally born elves will bow down to Saya unconditionally, seeing her as a gift from the whole world to the elves.
Needless to say, Saya is the greatest miracle of life.
"Saya's power is indeed very extraordinary...... Ulysses can understand a little bit about Nanali's admiration for Saya, because he is the one who has really been entertained by Saya's in that huge World Tree garden.
It was like a garden of a whole small world, with incredible power, and just by being in it, you could feel the huge gap between the mortal world and that world.
In many ways, Saya's garden isn't perfect, but the garden itself is a true miracle.
It is only natural that goblins who love nature are impressed by the power of nature, and even Ulysses thinks that the garden of the World Tree is an incomparable miracle.
"So, is Saya still with you?" Ulysses looked at Nanali, who had returned to her original form, and she could no longer feel the mysterious aura that Saya had in her body, but it was probably a relationship that Saya had disguised so much.
After all, in this realm, even Labis couldn't analyze where Saya's true identity was, and she didn't even know if she was still here.
It is true that the game of finding true love may be one of the three palaces, but it is also possible that Saya is not here at all, and with Sayana's unpredictable personality, it is not surprising to do anything.
"I don't know. Nanali shook her head blankly.
Neither "yes" nor "no", although Nanali, who was once controlled by Saya, is the most suspicious one, Ulysses is not sure that she is the true incarnation of Saya here.
The "game" that Saya refers to is not as simple as a child's hide-and-seek, and when he sees a suspicious place, he thinks that it is where the other party is hiding, and Ulysses is not so naïve.
"Can you tell me why Saya created this underworld?" Ulysses was not in a hurry to go to the final palace, but calmed down, trying to get the necessary clues from Nanali, who had the most direct contact with Saya.
"For a study, Saya-sama chose my body as the seed, and then assigned me to the bottom of the city to nurture the tree. Nanali looked at the tree behind her with feverish eyes.
For the nature-loving elves, the special plants that can take root and thrive in such a harsh environment are undoubtedly the treasures of treasures.
If Saya uses this to exchange for the goblins, I'm afraid she can get it for anything. Of course, this is not necessary, as long as Saya shows the essence of her power in front of the goblins, the entire goblin clan will be owned by her.
As the mother body that gave birth to the seeds, Nanali suffered a lot in the process, and no one could watch the plants grow in their own bodies, and finally break open her body and grow a huge body in this dark underground.
The process was extremely cruel, but Nanali accepted it with joy, because it was the joy of giving birth to a new life, and the pride of using her body to complete the Saya experiment.
In order to cultivate the tree, she endured the darkness of the earth, saw no light, and could only drink the bitterest seawater and feed herself on underground plants full of toxins.
The moment the tree was born, everything paid off.
This tree represents the strongest indomitable will of life, and it is a natural tree that thrives in the harshest environment. Watching the tree grow little by little, firmly rooting its roots in the earth, Nanali had the joy of being a mother.
"Do you know this girl?" Ulysses gestured to the little fox girl in white in his arms.
"She seems to be an alchemist who came here not long ago...... She's not that small. Nanali looked at the little fox girl in Ulysses's arms with a puzzled look, she did know an alchemist who had participated in the Saya test, and the white dress was her symbol.
However, the alchemist who also participated in the creation of this demon realm was not so young.
"Well, that's right. Ulysses had seen with his own eyes how the white-clad alchemist had made himself smaller, and it didn't seem to be all Saya's ploy.
However, being cursed by the potion he refined to become like this, it can only be said that this white-clothed alchemist has really forgotten all the things in the past, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a mistake.
Saya is obviously not polite to her, is this really Saya's collaborator?
