WTYTIAAN Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Kwell was interrupted and stunned for a moment, subconsciously following Yan Yunqing’s line of thought, “A man in a magic robe? I don’t remember, Zala, did you see him?”

Zala, who was asked, had a confused look on her face. She tried hard to recall, but shook her head after thinking for a long time, “No, no humans have appeared near here!”

Zala shook her head, and the little tufts on her head shook twice with her, “I was a little scared at that time, and I kept wanting Kwell to go back with me, but Kwell wouldn’t, saying he was going out to find Sister Talisin, but we don’t know where Sister Talisin is…”

As she spoke, she strayed from the topic, pouting and starting to complain about the unreliable Kwell. Don’t look at her being small, speaking softly, but her speaking speed was really not slow. Once she started talking, she couldn’t stop, as if she didn’t need to breathe.

Kwell covered his ears and flew further away, “Stupid Zala, stop nagging, you’re really so long-winded!”

Zala was aggrieved: “It’s clearly because Kwell you’re disobedient. The elder told me to watch you. He said you’re about to enter your growth period recently. What if you run out of the territory and encounter danger?”

Zala pouted, her small face wrinkled into a ball, her big eyes slowly becoming moist, looking very pitiful, like someone who wants to be bullied.

Yan Yunqing thought so, and was moved by it, reaching out and poking Zala’s face. Zala, whose face was already puffed up, widened her eyes, and the next moment, bean-sized tears fell.

Unscientific, how can such a small elf shed such large tears?

“Hey—you guy, don’t bully Zala!” Kwell glared at Yan Yunqing.

“Sorry, sorry.” Yan Yunqing sincerely apologized, “My hand itched accidentally.”

Kwell flew to Zala’s side and reached out to wipe away the tears on Zala’s face, “You’re really a wicked Kami beast!”

“Did neither of you see any other humans passing by here?”

Yan Yunqing glanced at the chat system. There was no new message from Penelope, and Demetrius had disappeared inexplicably again. For a moment, even he was a little at a loss.

“Or did you hear any movement?”

Zala sniffed, holding back the tears that were falling down, “Is that person important to you?”

Yan Yunqing touched his nose, “Ah, this… sort of? Mainly my companion is missing, and I think he might know something, but he’s also gone.”

“Oh my goodness!” Zala was surprised, “Your companion is missing? Where did he go?”

“Stupid Zala, if this Kami beast knew where his companion went, how could he still come to ask us!” Kwell crossed his arms, very disgusted, “Sometimes I really doubt how you learned your Ancient Elvish so well!”

Zala snorted, “You’re the stupid one, Kwell. The elder said I’m very smart!”

Kwell made a face at Zala, “The elder also said I’m smart. Which cub hasn’t he praised?”

Zala angrily slapped Kwell, ignoring him, and looked at Yan Yunqing worriedly, “Are you going to find your companion now? Is there anything we can help with?”

Zala’s eyes were bright and shiny, still with the moistness from just crying, like a cute Barbie doll, the kind that can be sold for thousands of dollars in boutique stores.

Before Yan Yunqing could speak, Kwell had already spoken first: “Wait, stupid Zala, you just told me not to talk to strangers casually, what are you doing now! What if he’s a bad guy?”

Zala obviously panicked for a moment when she heard this, “Ah? A bad guy?”

Zala looked at Yan Yunqing, then at Kwell, her face filled with the emotion of ‘What should we do? Should we run away now?’, which made Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but smile.

These two little guys are really interesting. They should form a team in another world and debut to tell stand-up comedy.

Yan Yunqing changed back into the appearance of a Kami beast, “I’m not human, how could I be a bad guy!”

Zala paused, suddenly realizing, “Oh right, Kwell, he’s a Kami beast, he can only be a bad Kami beast, he won’t become a bad person.”

Kwell was also stunned, “Then, then can we not be vigilant about bad Kami beasts?”

Zala thought for a while: “Kami beasts don’t □□ spirits! They all eat wild grass and wild fruits. Kami beasts won’t hurt us.”

Kwell frowned and thought for a long time, seeming to accept this answer, “That seems to be the case.”

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing shifted his gaze.

Are all elf cubs so easy to fool? In that case, he might be able to believe that Lillian was tricked by humans and sold into the auction house.

Zala’s statement was recognized by Kwell, and she happily flew to the side of the Kami beast, reaching out and touching his long ears, “Okay, Kwell has also agreed, now we can help you find your companion. Do you know where your companion disappeared?”

Huh?

Yan Yunqing blinked, “How are you going to help me find my companion?”

Zala’s little face was flushed, seeming a little embarrassed, but her tone was a bit proud: “Well, I learned tracking magic before! I can help you find your companion.”

Oh right, Lillian has been gone for too long, he almost forgot that elves are the strongest support, they don’t like to study serious attack magic, and they especially like to study some unpopular magic.

Tracking magic is also a kind of auxiliary magic.

But would it be a little bad to have these two little guys follow him?

Yan Yunqing hesitated, because he was not sure whether Demetrius’s camp was good or bad. He has a lot of self-preservation methods, but these two little elves are different.

Zala saw that Yan Yunqing didn’t speak, she pursed her lips, “Don’t you believe me? I’m really good.”

Kwell also testified for Zala: “Yeah, Zala’s magic grades are very good, the elder said she is the most talented of our batch, and maybe she will be able to receive the highest level of baptism in the future!”

“Baptism?” Hearing this strange word, Yan Yunqing wondered, “What baptism?”

How come he didn’t know that the elves had a baptism? Could it be some new ritual that appeared in the past thousand years?

Kwell knew he had misspoke and closed his mouth, no longer saying anything.

Instead, Zala blinked calmly and explained: “It’s just a ritual for elf cubs, every elf cub has to go through it.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t take it seriously, and thought for a while, “You’ve been out for so long, won’t the elders in the clan be worried? Is it okay to go find my companion with me?”

Speaking of this, Zala obviously hesitated for a moment. She is the kind of typical good child character, and from the beginning, she was persuading Kwell not to go out. Now that she mentioned whether the elders would worry, she was a little hesitant.

“No, the elder is busy today, maybe when we go back, the elder won’t even remember us.”

Kwell winked at Zala, “Did you forget, that one has entered the most critical time, and the elder has to watch by the side, if it wasn’t for this, we wouldn’t have had the chance to slip out at all.”

“But…”

“Oh, just go, anyway, no matter what you say, you won’t let me go further to find Sister Talisin, so let’s just find this Kami beast’s companion near here, and not go far.”

“Okay.” Zala let go and said to Yan Yunqing, “Let’s help you find your companion first!”

Yan Yunqing heard the entire conversation between Zala and Kwell, and quickly judged in his heart that something must have happened to the elves. Something that could make the elders of the elves not care about the elf cubs who sneaked out, and they had to stay by the side, it should only be the current Elf King, right?

But it doesn’t seem to be a very tricky matter.

After all, cubs are the individuals most easily influenced by adults. From these two little guys, Yan Yunqing could feel that the atmosphere in the elves was not tense now. At least they were still in the mood to sneak out to play. If they really encountered a major event, the cubs wouldn’t run out so openly.

Don’t think that cubs don’t understand anything when they are just born. In fact, they are best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, doing everything based on instinct.

Yan Yunqing was a little curious about what happened to the Elf King, but he also knew that even if he asked, these two little guys wouldn’t say it, and might even be scared to turn around and run away.

Forget it, it doesn’t really have anything to do with him.

Since Zala agreed to help, Yan Yunqing simply brought the two little elves to the location on the small map where Demetrius disappeared, “This is where he just disappeared.”

Zala looked left and right, “Please give me an item of your companion.”

Yan Yunqing thought for a while, but couldn’t think of anything on him that was related to Demetrius. After thinking for a long time, he took out a spatula from his backpack. Demetrius usually liked to cook in the dormitory, so this could be considered his item, right?

It’s just that taking it out scared Zala, “What is this?”

Yan Yunqing touched his nose, did not answer this question, and asked instead: “So do you have a way to track his location?”

Don’t ask him why he had to bring a spatula when he came out for field training. In fact, he brought a set of kitchen utensils from the dormitory. He was still thinking that if he had time, he could also enjoy a meal with primitive flavor in the forest!

Zala didn’t know where she conjured a small magic wand, waved it at the spatula, and muttered esoteric Ancient Elvish. What fell into Yan Yunqing’s ears was basically a more advanced version of plain language.

The general idea was, great Lord of the Forest, Elf King is above, please help me find the traces left by TA.

It made his toes curl.

His translator is always sensitive in places where it shouldn’t be sensitive.

The spell in Zala’s mouth stopped, and a green light shot out from the top of her magic wand, falling on the spatula beside Yan Yunqing.

The spatula radiated a faint green light, and after a while, this green light actually pointed in one direction, but the green light flickered on and off, like a faulty electronic device. Yan Yunqing wanted to slap it twice.

“Well, it can be used, but it doesn’t look like it can last too long.” Zala flew around the spatula and commented, “The aura your companion left on it is too little, my tracking magic can only do this. If you want something more powerful, you have to find the elder.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t want to face the elders of the elves for the time being, “Now we just need to follow this green magic circuit?”

Zala nodded.

Yan Yunqing identified the direction, picked up the spatula with his mouth, and walked in the direction shown by the upper magic circuit.

Zala explained, “This magic can roughly guide you through the area your companion passed through. As long as we follow the guidance of the magic, we will be able to find your companion soon!”

Yan Yunqing expressed doubt about this rough tracking magic.

The green magic circuit guided them to stop in front of a huge tree.

Yan Yunqing watched the green light twitching non-stop, sometimes pointing to the sky, sometimes pointing to the ground, and occasionally doing a 360-degree rotation, looking like a compass interfered by a magnetic field.

Yan Yunqing:?

“What’s going on?” Yan Yunqing looked at Zala.

Zala was even more confused than Yan Yunqing. She held her magic wand and kept spinning around the spatula, “It shouldn’t be, how could the magic suddenly lose track of the target…”

“Usually this kind of situation is that the tracking target has lost its life fluctuations… Then the magic circuit will directly disappear…” Zala was distressed, and asked Kwell beside her, “Kwell, do you know what’s going on?”

Kwell pointed to himself incredulously, “Ah? Me?”

“Are you asking me? Have you forgotten my magic grades?”

Zala was speechless and blinked.

However, Kwell did propose something that sounded unreliable, but when Yan Yunqing heard it, he actually felt that it was a bit possible.

“Did his companion use some secret method to enter another special space?” Kwell gave an example, “Just like our holy land, tracking magic doesn’t work on our holy land. There are special restrictions set by the great Sylph, and no elf can use magic to explore inside the holy land.”

Zala thought for a while, “Will there be restrictions set by Sylph here too?”

Kwell was speechless: “How is that possible, Sylph wouldn’t be so bored—this isn’t elf territory!”

Yan Yunqing heard a familiar name, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, then he inconspicuously covered it up and began to think about the possibility Kwell said.

A special space where tracking magic doesn’t work… A dungeon should also belong to this type of space, right?

But Demetrius isn’t a player, it’s impossible for him to enter a dungeon halfway, so it’s a space similar to a dungeon…

The Mantipel controlled by Morgan before also seemed to be such a space, especially the Mantipel after Morgan exposed his identity.

At the same time, a brand new task appeared late on Yan Yunqing’s task panel.

[Misty Forest: The Missing Companion]

Description: Your companions, two excellent swordsmen, mysteriously disappeared from the camp while you went out to look for prey. They are an indispensable member of the team and are crucial to you. You need to find these two companions.

[Side Quest: The Mysterious Masked Man and Demetrius]

Description: Before coming to the forest, you discovered a mysterious person was plotting something. What’s strange is that the mysterious person’s name is the same as one of your other companions. You are puzzled by this.

After the companion disappeared, the various signs Demetrius showed seemed to be closely related to the two missing companions. You decide to follow this companion and find the secrets behind him.

Yan Yunqing subconsciously accepted the two tasks, and then discovered that there were more stage descriptions in the side task than usual.

-You accepted the help of the elf cub ‘Zala’, but ‘Zala’s’ tracking magic is not yet mature and failed to lead you to find Demetrius’s trace, and you are once again in trouble.

-Try asking for the opinions of ‘Zala’ and ‘Kwell’?

Yan Yunqing blinked and confirmed again that this task had more stage descriptions and task guidance than before.

Wait, is that task guidance?!

Yan Yunqing was shocked: He didn’t expect his game panel task to have task guidance?

It’s really becoming more and more like a game.

Huh?

Yan Yunqing suddenly thought of the approaching beta test time, and suddenly had an idea: So this isn’t really the process of game tasks being optimized?

Yan Yunqing has always regarded the beta test time displayed on the system as a real player beta test, but what if—what if the beta test started as early as when he traveled to this world and obtained the game system?

In fact, he is the first beta tester? The series of changes that have appeared in his system are actually optimized because of the series of problems he has faced in this game?

So there really is a person, or an unknown existence staring at him, and adjusting and optimizing the game system according to his experience?

Hiss… the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Yan Yunqing shook his head, trying to shake out all the messy things in his head, and accidentally threw Kwell, who was leaning over, out.

“Ah!”

Kwell rolled out.

“Kwell!” Zala hurriedly chased after him, grabbed the short cloak on Kwell’s shoulder, and pulled back Kwell, who was constantly rolling.

Yan Yunqing lowered his head guiltily, and this little episode successfully made him temporarily put aside those messy guesses.

The two little elves flew back, and Kwell did not glare at Yan Yunqing again, he just snorted, looking more like he was sulking.

Okay, he should reduce his head movements in the future, after all, there are often some cute little things on his head.

For example, Lillian, for example, Kwell and Zala.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the task guidance and tried to ask Zala, “Then what should we do now? Do you have any other way?”

The Kami beast’s fluffy big tail pointed in the direction of the spatula. The magic guidance on the spatula was still dancing, and there was no accurate direction at all.

Everyone could understand that this tracking magic had lost its effect.

Zala didn’t expect Yan Yunqing to ask for her opinion, she held her head and thought, “Um… I don’t seem to have any other way. If this tracking magic doesn’t work…”

Zala tried hard to think, “My tracking magic is not very well practiced yet. If Elder Lina casts this tracking magic, maybe it will be more effective than my magic?”

Kwell snorted and said lazily: “But Elder Lina is now in the holy land, we have no way to contact her, unless we find Elder Regulus and let him take us into the holy land—”

“But, that’s obviously impossible!” Kwell said, “Elder Regulus originally disagreed with us running out of the elf territory, if he knew that we not only sneaked out, but also became friends with a Kami beast, he would definitely be furious.”

Kwell imitated Elder Regulus’s expression, frowning coldly: “You actually became friends with a human… oh no, a Kami beast! It’s simply unreasonable!”

Yan Yunqing hesitated: When did he become friends with these two elf cubs?

Zala comforted: “Elder Regulus only hates humans, he never said he hates Kami beasts!”

Kwell curled his lips: “But Elder Regulus has never said he likes Kami beasts, right? Rogge and the others all said that Elder Regulus hates everything except elves, maybe he even hates elves.”

Kwell pulled the corners of his eyes and pulled the corners of his eyes up, “He looks at people like this every day!”

Zala thought for a while, and couldn’t find a reason to refute Kwell, so she could only say awkwardly: “Maybe Elder Regulus is just in a bad mood.”

“Is he in a bad mood every day?”

Zala didn’t speak, Kwell was like a child who had won a debate, akimbo and proud.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the task list again, and no new task guidance popped up, but the emergence of such a dialogue between Zala and Kwell, does it mean that the key to solving the current situation is in the elf territory?

“Can I go back with you to meet that Elder Regulus?”
