Chapter 669 The two people separated from the twin-looking tower Izeluma
"Then, why go now?"
The afterglow of the sun fell on the earth, El-Melloi II and Lenis left the Tower of the Moon and walked towards the spacious open space where the White Whale was parked not far away.
"If you go out casually at this time, you can easily be regarded as a suspect."
El-Melloi II complained feebly.
"Brother, there is an old saying in the East, [It is better to add icing on the cake than to give someone timely]. Since we have decided to gain the goodwill of Animusfia, it is nothing to take a little risk for this goal."
Lenis stared at the Moby Dick bathed in the sunset from a distance, looking like an indestructible fortress.
"Besides, if we wait until tomorrow, there's a chance that Her Royal Highness the Princess won't need us to provide clues."
Suddenly, a figure flashed past on the other side, and she subconsciously looked in that direction, which was the woods near the Moon Tower.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like someone is following us?"
Lenisida frowned slightly and said unsurely.
"Trimmau——"
The maid transformed from the moon spirit fluid nodded, her arms transformed into a warhammer and a shield, and she walked towards the bushes over there.
"Lady Lenis, I didn't find anyone nearby, but there are fresh footprints here."
The mercury maid said respectfully, but she did not get into a fighting posture and still maintained her vigilance.
"footprint……?"
Lenis also walked over curiously, leaned down, and opened the grass blades in front of her.
Because it is moist land and not as hard as concrete floors in cities, clear footprints are left behind.
It looks like several people have passed through here.
So the question is, why do these people go to the depths of the remote woods? Is the person I just saw one of them?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at El-Melloi II beside her, and found that he also looked thoughtful.
"Trim, can we use these footprints for tracking? Track the latest footprints."
"I see."
Trimmau quickly put his hand on the footprints.
After a few seconds, she affirmed.
"There are more than a dozen types of footprints. The latest one should have been left about five minutes ago. Based on the shape and depth of the footprints, its owner should be a woman, about 5.58 feet tall and weighing 111.
About ten pounds.”
"A slender girl."
Lenis calculated in her mind why such a girl would go into the depths of the forest, otherwise she became interested.
"Catch up."
"yes."
The mercury maid remained in contact with the footprints, began to dissolve from the hands, and quickly flowed to the ground, changing into the original liquid form of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, running through the trees like a winding river.
"It's a bit risky to do that."
El-Melloi II pushed aside the branches that caught his clothes. There were no roads in this forest at all, and they had to wade through the dense jungle. Neither he nor Lenis were obviously wearing clothes suitable for off-roading.
"I have a hunch that there may be a big discovery this time."
Lenis said firmly that she could not explain the specific reason, but this premonition was indeed real.
Unknowingly, the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker. The lush forest was shrouded in fog, and only the faint outline could be seen, adding a bit of mystery.
It is true that fog often occurs in the Lake District. After all, there was fog everywhere when they arrived, and it is precisely because this area is shrouded in thick or light beautiful white fog for most of the year that the fog is produced.
Many romantic legends.
But foggy at dusk...
Suddenly, there was a dull sound coming from beside me, together with the clear sound of a series of branches being broken, as if something was rolling over.
"Brother--?!"
Lenis discovered that El-Melloi II, who had been following her, suddenly disappeared, and quickly called out to Trimmau who was walking in front of her.
"Trim, can you find my brother?"
Trimmau returned to the appearance of the mercury maid. After feeling it, she shook her head slightly.
"I'm sorry, Lady Lenis, my perception system was interfered with by an unknown spell, and I was unable to find any trace of Mr. El-Melloi II."
"Magic interference——?!"
Only then did Lenis come back to her senses. She suddenly woke up as if cold water had been poured on her whole body.
The surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, almost to the point where you couldn't even see your fingers. There was no doubt that he was covered by a barrier. Only a monster-level magician could cast such a large barrier.
This barrier also had the effect of confusing the spirit, and I had fallen victim to it before without knowing it.
She pursed her lips. No matter what the situation was, she still had to find her brother first. Without her and Trimmau by his side, there would really be nothing she could do if she encountered danger.
………
………
"Hiss - it hurts..."
El-Melloi II struggled to get up from the ground. His exposed skin must have been scratched by branches, and there was a burning pain, and there were many bruises.
Obviously he was just following Lenis, but his feet were empty, and he seemed to be rolling down the slope. God knows why there are such things in the woods.
If we were to blame, it could only be that the fog was so thick that we couldn't see the road under our feet.
He thought to himself and moved his body. Apart from scratches and abrasions, everything was fine, and there were no troublesome problems such as dislocations.
The surrounding fog was getting thicker and thicker. Logically speaking, he should shout for help so that Lenis could know his current location. Even if it was a slope, it probably wouldn't be too far away.
But El-Melloi II felt a little uneasy, and had a very bad premonition about the fog in front of him. It was like the feeling he had when he was a child when facing the darkness of an alley, with no reason to be afraid.
If he screams for help, something bad will happen.
So, he simply sat on the ground and waited for rescue. After all, in this strange environment, waiting on the spot is the best way.
only……
The slowly flowing wind brought some faint, intermittent sounds, which seemed to be two people talking about something. El-Melloi II subconsciously frowned and stood up.
[Should we explore the source of the sound?]
At this time, he felt a little entangled in his heart. According to common sense, waiting where he was was the best choice, but his curiosity about the unknown was also twitching at his heartstrings.
