Michaela's lotus is considered a very rare artifact.
Adventurers familiar with the Sain Dungeon know that this plant can currently only be found in Lake Lienia, and there are often powerful monsters nearby guarding it. So are even in an immature state, requiring a few days of safeguarding in the dungeon until they mature.
People have discovered that placing Michaela's lotus in illusion-type magic rituals can make the effects of the ritual unbelievably good, providing stronger auxiliary effects for other illusion-type magic, and even allowing for new ceremonies to be developed around it.
Therefore, Michaela's lotus is in high demand among certain groups, and the market supply is always short.
Fudolin has no clue about all these complexities; she only knows that a couple of days ago, she saw Tami joyfully holding a Michaela's lotus when returning from the dungeon, and then inviting everyone to an extravagant feast that night.
So she approached the rare plant with the thought of having another grand al.
However, just as she was about to touch Michaela's lotus, it suddenly disappeared, replaced by a Charming Branch piercing her skin.
What was going on? This thing can actually pierce my skin!?
Her instincts alerted her to sothing amiss, and she was about to yank the Charming Branch off and throw it aside.
But then it began to glow.
The enchanting glow flickered in Fudolin's eyes, and for a mont she was in a daze, surrounded by soft white light.
Such a warm feeling...
Strands of golden thread drifted from behind her, the faint golden light appearing exceptionally beautiful.
No, those aren't threads; it's golden hair!
It was as though the owner of the long hair was standing right behind her at that mont.
But Fudolin felt she couldn't turn back, or rather, her body wouldn't obey her commands, unable to move.
A ticklish sensation ca from her neck, as though soone was gently moving their lips near her ear, whispering sothing with a soft breath.
"————————"
"Fudolin? What's wrong with you?"
Luluwo turned around and suddenly realized that Fudolin, who had been with the group, was missing. Then she saw her squatting at the edge of a cliff not far away, with the giant crows from the Blood Lake cawing loudly at her, the noise particularly jarring.
Yet, in such a harsh environnt, the keen-sensed Fudolin uncharacteristically showed no reaction, just squatting there blankly.
Sothing was definitely wrong, this state was really abnormal!
Everyone realized there was sothing amiss and cautiously approached Fudolin, all on high alert.
Just then, Fudolin suddenly stood up!
Everyone was startled, raising their weapons in hand.
However, she didn't attack her companions like soone classically under Spiritual Control; instead, her behavior was unexpected.
Initially, as she stood up, her body swayed slightly, her face still having a dazed expression.
But almost instantly, all these anomalies vanished, her gaze becoming clear again. She looked around and said with a puzzled expression, "What's up? Why is everyone surrounding ?"
Now she looked perfectly normal, even appearing more innocent.
"Do you feel anything strange?" Luluwo cautiously asked.
They hadn't figured out exactly what abnormal situation she encountered, only seeing her squatting there, staring at sothing without responding, instinctually feeling sothing was off.
Now Fudolin seed so normal, was there really nothing wrong just now?
"No, why? Did you call ? I didn't seem to notice."
Waving her hand, she started walking further ahead, saying, "I didn't expect everyone to be so vigilant. It feels very professional, let's continue, I'm curious what's ahead."
People looked at each other, and from caution, they followed Fudolin's lead and cast a few detection spells, all showing normal results.
This should prove there's no problem.
Just a false alarm.
People resud their normal exploration, progressing bit by bit.
However, not long after, sothing amiss happened.
"Wait, Fudolin, why are you walking so fast!?"
As they were fighting the Platinum Son who ambushed them, Fudolin punched and pushed away the monsters entangling her, striding quickly towards unexplored areas.
Others were still battling the monsters, watching her marching forward fearlessly.
Once they dealt with the monsters and caught up, she was again tangled with other monsters and faced them with more blows, not bothering whether they were dead before moving forward.
And those remaining monsters naturally turned their attention to the Skyrim Strategy Group.
Luluwo and others could only keep fighting, and after finishing one battle, hurriedly chase after her, repeating this cycle several tis.
After nurous repetitions, everyone was panting and exhausted, the surrounding scenery unknowingly changing, yet they had no ti to notice.
Fudolin, however, was cheerfully moving forward, never showing signs of fatigue, as if carrying so mission on her shoulders.
"I can't go on, huff, I'm so tired..."
Even Luluwo couldn't help but lean against the nearby mountain, gasping for breath.
Though skilled, they couldn't keep up with this endless, non-stop battle like a marathon. They were reaching their limits.
Tami squatted on the ground, panting heavily and said intermittently, "Sothing must have happened to Fudolin, we need to control her."
The way she was acting was like soone under Spiritual Control.
"Let's catch up to her first, rember to use Invisibility Magic, and check out her current situation."
After planning, before drawing the attention of other monsters, they used Invisibility Magic to cover themselves, silently and swiftly following her.
Thanks to the ntor Obeck from Reyalucaria Magic Academy for imparting the invisibility and silent step magic.
Fudolin, as if being summoned, kept moving forward towards a definite direction, running continuously no matter the winding paths, ambushing monsters, or intrusions by Fanlei-like White Mask, nothing could stop her.
Her eyes displayed fanaticism; her target was clear.
It was that palace situated atop the mountain!
And at that mont, her mind was set on—
Eliminating the Blood King hidden there!
Closer, she got closer, even close enough to observe the blood-colored flas staining the sky, the sinister glow mixing from the dark and blood-colored sky, enveloping her completely.
Without needing the lift to the mountain top, dragon scales suddenly sprouted on her limbs, and she quickly climbed the mountain wall, turning into a stream of light appearing on the peak.
Passing over the burning blood flas on the ground, overlooking the broken incomplete palace, skipping the peculiar surroundings.
Fudolin looked up, directly staring at the object in the very center of the palace.
A gigantic... cocoon!
