"What do you mean… The 'eye' of this magic? What's that?" Alec asked puzzledly.
Medos explained: "The magic that creates a spell that seals a large area like this requires combining many different spells together."
"Those spells will be connected together into a network that covers this entire area."
"However, there is a place called the 'Eye' of the magic, that place is where all the connecting threads of all the spells that make up this sealing magic are gathered."
"As long as you can find the magic 'Eye', you can find the entrance to that mysterious space."
Hearing that, Alec immediately understood what Medos was talking about. He frowned and talked about this with Harris.
Hearing this, Harris frowned and replied: "You mean... we should find the 'Eye' of the sealing magic?"
Alec nodded: "Yes, but this place is too large, it is difficult for us to find the so-called 'Eye' of the sealing magic."
Harris looked around for a moment and then said: "No matter how carefully you hide it, there will definitely be some clues."
He bent down, looked around and discovered something that made him excited: "Maybe... we can find the 'Eye' of the magic seal."
"What?!" Alec was startled and asked with some disbelief: "What do you mean... you can find the 'Eye'?"
"Not necessarily." Harris shook his head: "However, I can find a few clues."
He said while pointing to the ground: "The leaves here are a bit strange."
"Leaves?" Alec frowned and raised his head to look at the trees above: "I feel like they are very normal, is there anything strange?"
"Not really! What I mean is… there are fallen leaves on the ground." Harris shook his head and said: "It seems like someone passed through here."
"Hm?! Why do you think so?" Alec asked puzzledly.
"Look at the leaves on the ground, they are unevenly distributed, there are even places where there are no fallen leaves." Harris explained.
"What?! Should fallen leaves be distributed evenly? Alec felt as if his intelligence was not enough to understand what Harris said.
"Of course, fallen leaves are not evenly distributed. But… These tracks look as if someone passed by and accidentally kicked these leaves somewhere else." Harris shrugged and explained.
"These traces do not appear anywhere else; they only appear here and extend to the other side. That means someone actually appeared here and moved towards that side."
Harris didn't wait for Alec to continue asking questions as he walked further away. Seeing this, Alec frowned and followed Harris, his face filled with discomfort.
'Tch! Does having a little knowledge make you better than me? This world only respects strength and fists.'
'No matter how smart you are, you must kneel before absolute power.'
Harris frowned. He felt a murderous aura radiating from Alec, but he didn't care. To him, Alec is just a pawn he can use to deal with Lathel.
After walking a distance of about twenty metres, Harris stopped next to a very ordinary tree.
He bowed his head, looked down at the stone under the tree, smiled, and said: "I have found the 'Eye' you were talking about."
Harris said, pointing to the stone under the tree: "This stone does not have any dust on it, nor moss, which shows that someone has touched it many times. "
"Now it's your turn."
"What do you mean?" Alec frowned at Harris.
Harris shrugged and said: "I have found the 'Eye', next you need to show your talent."
Alec glanced at Harris, then walked closer to the stone Harris had mentioned. Medos then spoke up: "Harris is right, this stone is the 'Eye' of the sealing magic."
"Tch!" Alec clicked his tongue and silently said to Medos: "He's just lucky. If I were as well-trained as him, I could do better than him."
Medos: "…"
"Teacher, how can we destroy this?" Alec asked.
Medos sighed and said: "Just use your magical energy to disrupt the energy that is maintaining the existing sealing magic."
Hearing that, Alec placed his hand on that stone. He immediately felt a source of energy flowing inside the stone and moving to many other places.
He transferred the energy inside his body into the stone.
At this moment, the space in front of them suddenly twisted like a cloth.
Alec smiled greedily: "I found the entrance."
…
Inside the Yordle clan's territory, Nina sat on the ground, blankly looking at Lathel's statue, her eyes dreamy as if she were about to sleep.
"Are you thinking about God, Lathel?"
"Yes… Heh?! No.. no…" Nina was startled, and immediately tried correcting her words.
She turned her head and saw Yorder slowly walking towards her with his cane.
"Hahaha… that's nothing embarrassing that you have to hide." Yorder laughed and said.
Nina bowed her head, she clutched the corner of her shirt with both hands and said: "I... I was only thinking about the dishes that God Lathel cooked."
"Hm… when you mention it, I also feel a bit reminded of those dishes." Yorder sighed and said, "Even though he taught us how to cook, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't create the flavours he created."
"But… it seems like the taste he left for you is a bit more special, isn't that right, Nina?"
Nina's face turned red, and her long ears also turned red: "I... I don't understand what you are saying."
Yorder shook his head and said: "You can deceive me, but you also cannot deceive yourself."
"Your heart has gone to the right person, but… that person is in a much higher position than you."
"Nina, turn that feeling into respect and prayer every day, it will be better."
"I know." Nina bowed her head and said, her eyes were wet as if she were about to cry.
In fact, after four days, she felt that Lathel was truly a very warm and gentle person.
For Nina, a girl who has never had contact with the outside world, Lathel was truly a perfect guy.
But… Lathel became the representative of the Goddess of Nature, and Nina was just a yordle.
Despite possessing the magical power that many people crave, the differences in race and status between her and Lathel were completely different.
Seeing Nina stay silent, Yorder could only shake his head and sigh. Of course, he knew what she was thinking right now.
"Nina…" Yorder spoke up: "I have lived long enough to see many love stories between the Yordles and humans."
"However, the endings of those love stories are written in tears and blood."
"I know that God Lathel is a good person, but we are Yordles, and our racial differences have caused your feelings to reach a dead end."
"Besides, Lathel's status is also completely many times higher than yours. He treated us so well and took an extremely admirable risk, we couldn't ask for more."
Hearing that, Nina pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "I... I understand. I will…"
Suddenly, she felt something and raised her head to look into the distance: "Wait! Someone is trying to enter our territory."
Hearing that, Yorder was startled: "What?! Are you sure?
"I'm sure, even though the magic that sealed this place is still there, a tear has appeared." Nina nodded, her face filled with seriousness.
Immediately after that, she took her wand and ran into the distance. Yorder also sensed the seriousness of this and immediately gathered all the Yordle people.
Harris and Alec passed through the sealing magic and saw a small path.
Before they could regain consciousness, a voice rang out from far away.
"Who are you?!"
Harris and Alec looked into the distance and saw a small girl standing in the middle of the street, wearing a pointed hat and holding a wand.
"That is…" Alec frowned: "What the hell kind of race is that?"
"It's a Yordle!" Harris said.
"Yordle?"
"That's right." Harris explained: "It is a race with a rather small body, however, they possess a heart that has the same effect as high-class elemental stones."
"The value of a Yordle's heart is at least 1,000,000 gold coins, or even much higher."
Alec was startled when he heard that, then he looked at Nina with covetousness: "What do you mean..."
"That's right. It seemed that this was the territory of a Yordle village. It looks like… this place doesn't have any treasure." Harris shrugged and said.
"Wait! This place has a huge treasure." Alec licked his lips, smiled, and said: "A heart is 1,000,000 gold coins, this place definitely has a lot of Yordles."
Hearing that, Harris also realised what Alec was planning to do. He pulled out his sword, smiled, and said: "Ah! I also want to make some money, after all, cultivating requires a lot of money and resources."
"What is the power of these Yordles?" Alec asked warily.
"They are not strong; they are just like a bunch of goblins." "For adventurers, a Yordle is like a walking mountain of bronze," Harris explains.
"If you only get a Yordle's heart, you can live happily for a long time, without having to worry about money."
"Very good!" Alec smiled greedily: "In that case… let's split the profits in two. After killing all the Yordles in this place, let's split in half, okay?"
Harris glanced at Alec, smiled, and replied: "Of course, I want that too."
Alec glanced at Harris with eyes filled with murderous intent, and a cold thought appeared in his heart: 'Now I will let you hold a large amount of money for me. By the time you die at my hands, your money will also be mine. Hahaha…'
Harris suddenly shivered. He didn't know what Alec was thinking, but he could guess that Alec had bad intentions towards him.
However, right now, he couldn't confront Alec. He needed Alec to kill Lathel.
'Wait until Lathel dies, you will also meet him in hell.'
"Oy! Did you hear what I just said?" Nina looked at Harris and Alec with warriness.
"Little girl…" Harris said, his voice extremely cold: "Lead me to the place where your clan lives, and I can allow you to die in the most comfortable way."
"You…" Nina gritted her teeth, then chanted: "Akkomana savinona…"
Right after that, a large rock floated to the side. Nina waved her wand, and that large stone flew towards Harris.
"Huh!" Harris snorted in contempt. He pulled out his sword and shouted softly: "Black Moon!"
The blade emitted a black aura that slashed out a semicircular beam of light.
BAM!
The stone and the semicircular beam of light exploded into countless small pieces.
Seeing this, Nina retreated in fear, her face filled with disbelief.
Before Nina could finish her sentence, Alec appeared next to her, swung his leg, and kicked her away.
"You… Huk!"
