Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 148

"Hoaayam...." Leafa yawned after he woke up from his deep sleep. No he thought he could sleep well even though their village had just been destroyed by the horde of monsters.

If not for Alice, it was likely that Leafa and the others would always be overshadowed by fear and worry about those monsters.

Leafa stepped out of his room.

Seeing Leafa, Alice greeted him. "Good morning. How's sleep?" Ask Alice while preparing some supplies that she will bring.

Leafa scratched his cheek, he smiled awkwardly then said. "Yes-yeah. It's all thanks to you, thank you."

Even though she explained everything and Alice forgave her. But last night's misunderstanding still embarrassed him and it was hard to look at him.

I was completely screwed up and had made an indistinct commotion. Her thought.

"What are you doing?" Tanya Leafa looked at some neatly wrapped pieces of meat and plants, as well as a few pieces of cloth.

"I am preparing the supplies and equipment that I will bring later. Since you guys want to go to the capital with us, you better prepare something as well. Maybe this trip will be a little long because we don't have a horse-drawn carriage." Alice Obviously. "Oh yeah, we'll leave before noon." Further.

"Yes fine." Answer while nodding. Leafa then returned to his room to pack up.

While Eion and his parents had woken up earlier, they had returned to their home to pack up first.

After they finished packing and breakfast. They were ready to go to the capital.

"It may take two or three days to get to the capital. If it were just me and Elysia, maybe I'd have taken her flying." Inner Alice. "I don't have an artifact to carry them all at once."

Elysia and Noel who were walking behind her looked so familiar. They got close so fast. Yes, it could also be because their age is not much different.

Seeing the two children chatting merrily, Alice could not hide the pleasure engraved on her face. "Elysia, tell me you're tired of walking."

"Hng, good aunt." Reply Elysia.

During the journey towards the capital, they sometimes encountered some monsters. With Alice in attendance, Eion and Leafa venture to train their abilities.

As an elf tribe in general, their Mana capacity is indeed more than that of humans. Although not as many as the high elves had, but with a Mana capacity that reached two to three times that of an ordinary human, it was enough to shorten their distance to an expert magician. Eion and Leafa only lack experience and they have no one to guide them through the exercises.

Initially both were quite overwhelmed against one to three small monsters. But, as time went on and the intensity of the exercise Alice gave off, the two began to show progress. Significantly Leafa and Eion were already able to use their magic more efficiently.

"Fyuhh.. is finally done..." Leafa just threw his body on the ground. His legs were not strong enough to stand anymore.

"Yes.haaah..haaah..." Follow Eion who is also panting half dead.

Mana capacity they almost touch zero.

After fighting off dozens of monsters that Alice deliberately brought before them. The two young elves were relieved that their training was over.

Eion and Leafa turned their faces away. Not that thank you but both of them vented their frustration at Alice in their hearts.

""Devil. Cruel. He's really mean."" Both furious.

"He deliberately lured the monsters and gave them to us. I thought I was gonna die." Inner Eion.

"Uuuhh.I also, I thought we wouldn't have survived earlier. Did he do that intentionally? Could this be a reply because I had offended him at that time?" Benak Leafa's.

"Even so, I know. He did all this for us." Eion whispered softly as he looked at Alice from the corner of his eye.

The two stared at each other for a moment. Then they laughed. They agree that Alice's training is hard, but with that challenge they can become stronger than their former selves.

Sure enough they took the trip for three and a half days. Now, Alice and her entourage had arrived before the Lost Forest, the protective fog of the elf race.

"It's terrible, I forgot to say that the Moonshade capital has a protective fog." Claus said as he massaged his two temples.

"What should we do?" Claudia asked worriedly.

There was no village around them that they could stop by to shelter. It was also impossible for them to camp outside. From what Alice observed, the monsters moved more often closer to the Lost Forest. "No wonder, this forest did indeed emit a powerful and pure Mana energy." Her thought.

"We can only wait for someone to show us a direction or we can try to break through it. Well, even that our chances of getting out are very small." Claus.

He covered his face with his palm. "I'm stupid, I forgot to bring that thing." His inner. What he meant was a special emblem used as a guide to pass through the Lost Forest. With that emblem he used to go in and out freely through the Lost Forest.

"Not difficult. You just have to follow me. I can get through it." Alice said to their surprise.

Can a human pass through the Lost Forest? No kidding. Does he have that emblem too?

They looked in disbelief, it was evident from their expressions and gazes at Alice.

"Are you sure?" Ask Claus.

"My father told me that this magic formation from the mist is very difficult. Other than the royal family who had ties to Yggdrasil, no one could pass through it just like that. But...You said you could take us through?" Leafa.

Alice nodded. He walked forward to approach one of the trees. "This magic formation still remains the same as I remember it. And I've learned it before." His inner.

The mist was thinner than Alice knew. Based on Elysia's story, Yggdrasil was currently suffering damage. But... Alice turned to glance at Elysia who was looking at her with innocent innocent innocent eyes.

"From what he said, he seemed to know clearly what Yggdrasil's current condition was. Does he have a special relationship with the tree just like Helian?"

Alice called Elysia closer. "Elysia. Come here, don't stay away from me." Elysia ran over and grabbed Alice's hand. "You guys too. Make sure not to separate and stay together." He told Claus and his family.
