Just as Fang Hong thought that the violet-blue fla would burst out of the sealing and engulf him, just like it killed Pudra in the hall outside, the fla-drawn pupils suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to deep darkness.
Fang Hong was stunned for a mont, when a voice ca from beside his ear: "Ade?" Atira hurried back from another direction, holding his Clockwork Fairy in her hand. Seeing him still intact in the original place, she was a bit shocked: "I saw your Clockwork Fairy fall to the ground, did anything happen?"
Fang Hong turned back to look at Elf Miss, still with so lingering fear: "I think I saw that fla-shaped monster again."
Atira instinctively looked at the sealing wall. This was the only road in and out, and if anything were to appear, it must be within the sealing. She held her spear and asked cautiously: "Is it here?"
Fang Hong nodded.
But why did it disappear? Surely not because Miss Atira returned. A thought flashed in his mind; when in the hall outside, Miss Atira was also present, but the fla monster behaved completely differently.
It was not attacking only Rolin and Pudra, at least back then he felt the pressure brought by the other party. If it were not for the dark door at that place, he had no doubt the other party would treat everyone the sa.
Counting the differences before and after, he only encountered Eve and his confrontations with the Descendants of Flor, but it should be unrelated to the latter, as there was no reasonable connection between the two. That left only Eve's commission.
Thinking about this, Fang Hong raised his head to ask: "Is there anything over there?"
Atira withdrew her gaze and gently shook her head.
Fang Hong was silent for a mont, his heart actually had certain expectations. After all, earlier when he released the Clockwork Fairy, it also failed to find the other party.
This was already the second ti he saw that white shadow, along with the skeleton that he, Parker, and Elisa saw before, which also disappeared inexplicably without a trace. There must be sothing strange under these tunnels; he thought of asking Eve about this matter the next ti he saw her.
But now was not the ti to care about this matter.
He raised his head and looked at Atira, saying: "Miss Atira, could you help up?"
It turned out that he was so scared just now that he sat back on the ground, sothing he wouldn't do normally, but he was already injured.
Atira did not mind helping him, carefully assisting him to stand up, but frowned and asked: "Ade, I'll go check it out for you. If there's danger in there, you're injured after all."
Fang Hong felt touched but still shook his head: "No, Miss Atira, it's actually not that dangerous." He then shared his analysis with her.
Atira listened but was still not completely assured, thought for a mont, and just said: "Then I'll assist you to go over together."
Fang Hong saw that Elf Miss was resolute in her opinion and stopped insisting. He could accept going together. Atira supported him, as they approached the sealing, the crack in the wall was big enough to let a person through without additional expansion.
However, Atira still removed a few bricks to make it easier for Fang Hong to enter. She stood, took out an Illumination Crystal to shine inside, confird it was safe, flipped inside, and then cautiously reached back to help Fang Hong step in.
Touched by this ticulous care, Fang Hong couldn't help but think of his uncle and aunt's family still in Eteliria. He turned to see Miss Atira's crescent moon-like profile — and she was entirely focused, looking unwavering.
She was always serious, but such attentiveness was still rare; Fang Hong understood well why that was. Warmth flowed through his heart, hesitated a few tis, opened his mouth softly: "Miss Atira..."
Atira's pointed ears moved slightly, she turned back to look at him.
"Mr. Kid's matter, we will definitely find out the truth. Actually, I already have so leads."
"Why ntion this suddenly?" Atira brushed her hair with her hand, and asked, a bit surprised.
"Ah, this..." Fang Hong started speaking gibberish. He himself wasn't sure why he brought it up suddenly, maybe just moved emotionally, speaking without thinking.
He stamred and closed his mouth, feeling embarrassed.
But Atira seed to understand his intention, a comforting light flickered in her erald-green eyes. "I know, Ade has been working hard, the truth about Kid will co to light eventually. I've never doubted this; you don't have to worry about . The Holy Tree nurtured our line, Kid just returned to Lord Aya's side."
Fang Hong silently nodded.
But he suddenly rembered sothing, even R and Miya couldn't accurately judge Miss Atira's abilities, not knowing if it was because she was Lady of the Forest's Tree Guardian, Unicorn Girl's reason, or the reason related to Lady Daisy.
But he always felt that the background of the Lion Paladin and Miss Atira might not be that simple—
The path beyond the sealing wasn't long, just a small turn led to the end.
But once entering that cave behind, Fang Hong couldn't help but stop abruptly, as a glowing fla quietly appeared in their sight in the depths of the cave.
