There was no light or sound. Colin's blue eyes widened, but he could only feel a strong sense of weightlessness.
After a while, light came.
A bright red came into view.
The emerald-red land seems to be made of glass...the remains of ancient trees?
It's still in the forest, but there is no doubt that this is no longer the red soil forest it was before.
But a... dead forest.
'Or... the dead earth.'
Colin looked around and added secretly.
Not only the ancient trees, but also the shrubs and weeds in the forest here have all become broken like glass, without any breath of life.
The next moment, Colin frowned and quickly closed his eyes to feel it carefully.
'The magic energy here...is so thin?!'
He opened his eyes in surprise.
The concentration of magic energy in the forest is comparable to some rare magic places on the sea... If compared with the city of Neustadt, it is probably only one thousandth of the concentration of magic energy in the city!
With such a low concentration of magic power, if you want to practice or restore magic power, you must use magic stones, otherwise it will consume an extremely long time.
'By the way, where is Naxi?'
At this moment, Colin suddenly thought again... and quickly turned around to look around.
But the red dry trees look like glass...
"Good giant, what are you looking for?"
Just as Colin was wondering, Naxi's voice suddenly came from above his head.
He followed the sound.
I saw Naxi's delicate little face suddenly peeking out from the thick branches extending horizontally above her head.
She looked down at Colin, rubbed her groggy eyes and continued: "The good giant is too heavy. Little Naxi is so tired after bringing you in. You have to go to bed now!"
After saying that, she withdrew her head and lay down on the red glass branch again.
Colin did not answer, but looked at Naxi's back with some shock at the purple-red color revealed through the gaps between the crystal glass branches.
Different from the emerald-like bright red ground, the sky here is actually a rich purple-red, like the last brilliant color of the setting sun...
'Is this... a different space?'
Colin withdrew his gaze and speculated secretly.
Then he turned around and looked around again, and subconsciously asked:
"Naxi, is this forest your home?"
"Yes……"
It seemed that she was too tired. After a while, Naxi's voice came.
She did not stand up and stick her head out, but said intermittently, "Not only the forest here, but also other places, are all Naxi's homes... It's super big, good giant, don't run around, or Naxi will do it later.
When Xi wakes up...I won’t be able to find you..."
As she spoke, Naxi's voice gradually lowered, and finally turned into regular breathing.
Colin did not bother her anymore, but with a thought in his mind, he slowly flew upwards.
As he passed by Naxi, he glanced at her.
This little red elf was lying defenselessly on a glass branch that was a little too wide for her. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she was obviously deep in sleep.
Colin withdrew his gaze and continued to fly upward.
As the covering branches were left behind, his vision was gradually filled with rich purple.
An inexplicable sense of oppression came over...the surroundings became dull.
"This rich purple-red color is amazingly rich in layers... I don't know how it was formed." Colin looked at the sky, still unable to conceal his shock.
After another moment, he finally flew out of the bare glass forest.
The biting wind suddenly hit me, blowing my gray witch robe fiercely.
Looking around.
A desolate and magnificent world suddenly appeared in front of him.
The rolling and majestic mountains are entrenched in the distance, and the forest at the foot extends to the left and right. Connecting in front of it is a vast plain with several irregular potholes... It can be vaguely seen that it has dried up.
lake.
The terrain is rich and varied, but the colors are monotonous.
The earth and everything in contact with it, whether it was mountains or grasslands, all turned red under the inexplicable force.
Although there are deep and light colors, they are all just red...
Looking up again, there are no stars or moon in the purple sky, like a round luminous glass cover, covering the entire earth. At the end of the line of sight, the dark edge can be clearly seen.
The whole world was dead silent, except for the biting wind, there was no other sound.
It seems that apart from the elf Naxi and him, there are no other living creatures here...
‘Such a strange sky and earth, as well as the obvious boundary wall... This is indeed a different space!'
Colin looked around again, and after memorizing the nearby terrain, he slowly fell back into the forest.
Although I am very curious about where this place is, my body has not returned to its best condition at this moment, so it is really not the time to explore rashly.
What's more, he doesn't need to explore... By the time Naxi wakes up, the war on Gupil Island should be almost over.
That invisible enemy has probably been dealt with by the high-level adults... The most important thing right now is to restore your own condition to its best first.
While thinking about it, Colin landed on a thicker branch next to Naxi and sat down cross-legged.
He first lifted up his witch robe and inspected the wounds on his waist and abdomen. The originally huge wounds had now closed together to form a huge scar.
'It seems... I have to rest for a while.'
Colin put down his gray wizard robe and brought out the gold paper.
With the gift of strong life, as long as there is no curse or contamination in a wound like this, there is no need to take it to heart. Recovery is only a matter of time.
Pale golden particles gathered in front of him, and a piece of gold paper slowly emerged between reality and illusion.

After scanning the gold paper, Colin's face could not help but darken slightly.
The price of the Scepter of Folly was astonishing... He only used it twice in total, once for the Fireball spell and once for the Swiftness spell.
The result was that these two witchcrafts, which had just broken through the limit just now, fell back again.
The actual loss, apart from time, is the easiest to estimate is 11,000 limit-breaking points... which is also 11,000 magic stones.
Colin couldn't help but sigh.
'But compared to life, these are nothing, and...' He took another look at the progress of the Swiftness and Fireball spells on the gold paper.
One is 98%, the other is 94%... According to the current progress of his witchcraft practice, he will be able to practice it to the limit again in about a day or two.
At that time, as long as there are enough magic stones, the limit can be broken again and returned to the same level as before.
As for the magic stone... Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but subconsciously take out the storage ring he took from Naris's body when he entered the different space here.
Putting the ring in the palm of his hand and looking at it carefully, the style looked more like what a woman would wear... After a little comparison with a super computer, Colin came to the conclusion——
'This should be Margaret's storage ring...'
Thinking of this, he hesitated slightly and put it aside.
The Wizards' Alliance has a rule that any storage ring left behind after a wizard dies on the battlefield needs to be handed over to the Supreme Council, which will then pass it on to the deceased wizard's relatives, friends, or mentors.
The wizard who hands in the storage ring can get items or magic stones equal to 30% of the value of the storage ring.
However, although the regulations are like this.
But in fact, it is quite difficult to implement, especially when the wizard who picked up the storage ring and the deceased wizard are not fellow wizards, and it is basically impossible to restrict the wizard from stealing the storage ring.
Even for a wizard like him who is traveling with him, it is difficult to determine whether there is really a pickup and storage ring.
The reason why Colin put the storage ring aside first was naturally not because he planned to hand it over later...
If Margaret hadn't exposed her ugly face, perhaps he would have handed over the storage ring, Margaret's relic, to the Supreme Council out of conscience.
But now, he just plans to restore his own state first, and then wear away the mental imprint on the storage ring and open it.
‘I don’t know what kind of things Margaret will have in the storage ring as a member of the nine sects.’
While thinking about it, Colin took out the magic release ring and magic stone and began to concentrate on restoring his magic power.
I do not know how long it has been.
As the magic stone on the magic release ring gradually dried up and turned into pale gravel, the magic power in Colin's body also regained its fullness.
He stood up and felt about himself.
The injuries on his waist and abdomen are probably 70 to 80% better, but with the full amount of magic power at this moment, this small injury has little effect on the battle.
Colin nodded with satisfaction.
Snap.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time again.
'It's been about five hours since I came in... almost.'
Closing the pocket watch, Colin flew to the branch next door, preparing to wake up the elf Naxi and take him out.
"Naxi." Colin reached out and poked Naxi's delicate little face.
"Hmm~" Naxi did not wake up, she closed her eyes and reached out to slap Colin's index finger, then changed her position and fell asleep again.
Colin was a little helpless and continued to push the elf with his fingers and urged:
"Naxi, I need you to take me out."
"Hmm...Bad Giant." Naxi's eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Colin through a slit, and then said with a frown, "Little Naxi is so tired and sleepy, she has no strength, she just wants to sleep..."
After saying that, he turned over again and continued to sleep.
But just a moment later,
Elf Naxi suddenly sniffed.
The next second, he suddenly sat up straight, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a little excitement:
"What a giant, I can smell the scent of that fragrant gem from last time! Are you going to give it to little Naxi again?"
Colin smiled slightly, opened his palms, showed the ruby-like heart of the ancient tree left last time, and said:
"Yes, little Naxi, as long as you send me back to where I was just now, this gem will be yours."
"Really!" The elf Naxi woke up completely and looked at the gem in Colin's hand with obsession.
As if she was too greedy, Naxi suddenly waved her hand and took out a smaller Heart of the Ancient Tree from nowhere, held it in front of her chest and took a few licks.
Then he turned his head hard, looked at Colin and asked hesitantly: "But there is a big red bad guy outside!"
"Believe me, it has been almost five hours since we came in. The situation on Gupil Island must have stabilized... That big red bad guy must have been eliminated by my companions." Colin comforted.
Naxi looked at Colin, and then at the Heart of the Ancient Tree in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"All right."
After she finished speaking, she flapped her wings and started flying in the air. The trajectory was a bit complicated and dizzying, but it seemed to follow a certain pattern.
As Naxi began to fly, her ice crystal-like red wings gradually emitted light, and little red light flakes slowly fell from them.
Strange fluctuations gradually began to appear in the air.
But the next second, the strange fluctuations suddenly disappeared, and Naxi's crystal wings instantly became dim.
She stopped and shouted in a panic:
"Oops, little Naxi can't open the door for some reason!"
