As the transmitted white light gradually disappeared, the familiar palace also appeared in front of him.
When Colin saw this, he felt relieved and quickly looked around.
"Where's Naxi?"
But there was nothing in the field of vision, neither Naxi nor Lilian.
Bang.
At this time, the arch behind him also suddenly closed, and the sound that should have been gentle was made like a roar in the ears by the now silent palace.
However, just for a moment, this sound disappeared again, and the entire empty palace returned to silence again... as silent as the wasteland.
Colin couldn't help but feel that he might not have been gone for just a few minutes, but for days or years.
Touching the emerald necklace in his hand, the joy in his heart that he had obtained the treasure suddenly disappeared.
"Did Naxi return to the blue sky alone because she couldn't find me?"
His face was solemn, and he stood silent for a moment, and then said nothing. He just turned around and started from the arch of the treasure house, carefully searching for any traces that Naxi might have left inch by inch.
The graceful and flat arc roof above, the carved door pillars on both sides, the colorful door panel on the front... With the help of the super brain, Colin's eyes at this moment were like a precise scanning instrument, and any subtle changes that were different from before were found. came out.
In this way, he looked from top to bottom of the arch, to the magnificent ceiling in front of the door, and then to the flat and smooth floor in front of the corresponding door, and finally found a strange trace on the light gold floor tiles.
It was a bit of light red crystal debris, inconspicuous on the spotless but dark red mottled light golden floor tiles... I am afraid that if it were discovered later, these subtle traces would be lost to the palace that still maintains its basic functions. It is automatically removed as dust.
Colin held his breath and concentrated, using his mental power to gently pick up the debris.
‘Such a dark red flake that is crystal clear and has the texture of a gem...could it have fallen from Naxi’s wings?’
On his fair face, the two sword eyebrows almost touched each other. He continued to lower his head and walk around the debris to search.
Not long after, a second dark red debris was found on the ground about three or four meters ahead...
These debris are extremely tiny, not even as big as a sesame seed, and are really difficult to detect.
However, Colin possesses the amazing identification ability brought by his super brain. After memorizing the characteristics, the search efficiency becomes higher.
After finding the second debris, he found the third, fourth... and just like that, another while passed.
Colin raised his head, and was suddenly shocked to realize that he had already walked under the three thrones of the palace.
When he looked up at this moment, he discovered that there was also a little crystal dark red debris on the throne in the middle.
The scraps collected in the palm of the hand were gathered together, and now they were accumulated, and they already had almost half of one of Naxi's wings... Naxi only had four wings in total.
Colin paused for a moment, then closed his palms and walked up the steps step by step until he came to the throne.
He did not stop at the two pale golden thrones at the front, but went straight to the emerald green throne at the back and in the middle.
Colin did not rush to pick up the debris on the throne, carefully observed the throne, and then continued to walk towards the back of the throne.
Behind the emerald green throne is a wall, a dark mottled wall with a towering ancient tree carved on it.
The originally sacred and majestic mural of the ancient tree of life was inexplicably a bit desolate under the mottled stains of dark red pollution.
Bang bang.
He took out the shovel-shaped witchcraft tool that had been used to dig holes at the edge of the plain from Margaret's storage ring, and lightly tapped the edge of the wall.
The sound was thick and dull, and the touch was hard and firm... But Colin did not stop, but knocked on the wall from left to right, from top to bottom, bit by bit.
Bang, bang, bang...
The dull sound continued to echo in the silent palace, like a devout monk kowtowing in front of the Buddha over and over again.
After a while.
Such a continuous sound of kowtowing suddenly stopped for a second at a certain moment, breaking the rhythm... and then it never sounded again.
But Colin's shovel movement didn't stop at all!
The only thing that changed was the place where the shovel tip struck... The wall there seemed to be just an illusion. The black shovel tip went straight through the wall without any obstruction or collision.
After probing for a while, Colin found the scope of the almost seamless phantom in front of him.
The phantom is roughly in the shape of an arch, not high, less than three meters, and is right behind the throne.
"If there were no phantoms hiding here, then anyone in the palace, when looking up at the Elf Queen, would see the arch behind her at a glance. And... something behind the arch."
Colin put away the shovel-shaped witchcraft tool with his backhand and looked up at the magnificent mural on the wall in front of him.
"Anilase!"
Similar to the murals he had seen in the tree cave forest before, when Colin stared at the eternal mother tree in front of him that was regarded by the elves as giving birth to everything...her noble name appeared in his heart.
Then I looked at the arch hidden in the phantom under the mural.
As if being struck by lightning, Colin's face froze, as if he was enlightened, and he vaguely realized something.
A chilling chill suddenly spread from his tailbone to Tianling Gai, causing him to purse his lips involuntarily, and his face became serious.
This is the feeling of awe, curiosity and fear that may arise involuntarily when facing the legendary life.
"Huh~"
After letting out a long breath, Colin suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and shook his head.
'The elves have left, there is no reason for Anilase to stay here...'
After thinking silently for a moment, he took out the crown he just got from the treasure house from the storage ring.
After a slight pause, Colin grasped both ends of the crown with both hands and gently put it on his head.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The spiritual power spreads towards it, the pale golden crown suddenly glows, and the leaf-shaped gem in the center of the front end is filled with golden light like stars.
.
The crown began to tighten automatically, changing into the most suitable size and firmly fixed on Colin's head.
Then an explanatory message appeared in Colin's mind, causing him to close his eyes and digest it.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and murmured:
"The Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment..."
Without wasting time, Colin continued to take out the emerald necklace.
He also used mental power to imprint the mark, and he also learned the name of the necklace - "Fountain of Ancient Trees."
'Everything is ready.'
Colin stroked the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment on his head and summoned the elf armor imitating Shuter's armor. The defensive witchcraft and mechanized mind on his body were also blessed.
After doing this, he raised his right foot and prepared to step over the phantom in front of him.
But as if he had thought of something, Colin paused slightly, then returned to the throne, leaned over to pick up some dark red debris on it, and then turned around and strode straight across the phantom wall!
As if walking through an ordinary dark arch, Colin just felt that the vision in front of him went dark, and then gradually became clearer.
A huge and rough underground space suddenly appeared.
The carved rock walls support this space. They are not decorated at all, and are the most primitive brown and gray-white colors. If you look closely, you can even see some green stubbornly drilling out of the gaps between the rocks.
However, Colin could no longer pay attention to such details.
All of his vision, and even the thoughts in his mind, were occupied by this majestic, indescribably huge ancient tree in front of him!
"Uh!" Colin's heart was shocked, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard. The pain and the mechanized mind that had been blessed on his body gave him a brief moment of clarity.
It was this awakening that suddenly made him see the whole tree clearly...the somewhat deformed trunk that was thin at the bottom and thick at the top.
'This is not the real tree of life?!'
At the same time, he also saw the familiar little figure on the pale golden flower at the tip of a brown branch growing horizontally in the middle of the giant tree's deformed trunk - Naxi!
However, this is not the most surprising... Colin's pupils shrank slightly!
Right in front of the middle of the deformed trunk of the big tree, there seemed to be a semicircular ring of thorns, with dozens of branches growing horizontally, and on each branch, there was a pale golden flower.
Most of these flowers are just closed buds, only the one near Naxi is slightly open.
Among them, there is also an elf!
An elf that looks very similar to Naxi, but is light pink in color!
But at this moment!
A grand, but inexplicably weird voice suddenly sounded. The syllables were regular, but it was a language he had never heard before.
The imitation heavy hammer hit his head directly, and with a buzz, Colin's vision suddenly became blurry again, and strange and confusing murmurs continued to appear in his mind.
It was at the moment when the voice sounded that the crown of spiritual enlightenment on Colin's head suddenly shimmered.
It was as if a ladle of ice water was poured on top of his head on a hot summer day. Colin felt a refreshing sensation like running water winding down, covering his entire scalp in a moment.
And in this state, the grand and strange voice gradually became clearer and became understandable——
