We must find the Magic Crystal quickly!

After saying goodbye to Julia sisters, Yan Luo felt an unprecedented urgency for the Magic Crystal.

He didn't know if Julia sisters would tell other elves about his matters. Being cautious of others is necessary, Yan Luo dared not entrust his life to the noble character the elves might possess.

In fact, from Julia's attitude, it was evident that elves are not significantly better than humans.

At most, they are somewhat better-looking than ordinary humans, and their physical prowess is probably stronger than humans.

Regarding the Julia sisters seen by Yan Luo, even the relatively shorter Suniya was 1.72 meters tall, while Julia's height was even more impressive at 1.87 meters.

Yan Luo wondered how much difference there is in height between male and female elves. If, like Blue Star People, males are taller, then the average height of adult male elves might be between 1.9 to 2 meters.

Often, a tall stature signifies combat strength.

A powerful race in combat cannot possibly be one that loves flora and fauna, enjoys protecting animals, and is even willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

If he must interact with the elves, Yan Luo needs to bring Wu Zechuan along for bluffing.

At the very least, let the elves know that humans are not complete weaklings.

Under the cover of night, Yan Luo walked through the vast forest, contemplating how to locate a new Magic Crystal.

He's no fool; he quickly realized that the Magic Crystal of this world might appear in the form of ore.

Yan Luo suspects the magic concentration in this world might be higher than the Abyss, in such a highly magical world, Magic Crystals are not absent.

The wildlife and Demons in this world possess superpowers, Yan Luo believes they might be Demons.

However, only by killing Demons in the Abyss can one obtain materials; it was the case on Blue Star, it might be the same in this world.

Whether the Abyss exists in this world, Yan Luo is uncertain, even if it does, he lacks the time to search.

Finding Magic Crystal veins is one of the only two methods Yan Luo can think of to obtain Magic Crystals.

The other method is to search for elemental-type Demons, whose cores can serve as Magic Crystals. If Magic Crystals cannot be found, he will look for elemental-type Demons.

No matter how steep the terrain, it's as level ground under Yan Luo's feet.

Yan Luo wandered around the forest, searching for traces of Magic Crystals.

Instead of finding Magic Crystals, Yan Luo ended up finding an elemental-type Demon.

Seeing that Demon, Yan Luo thought to himself, 'As expected.'

Just like the images he and Sasa saw through that metal plate, Blue Star once had Demons running everywhere. It was unknown what occurred, but Blue Star distanced itself from the Abyss, subsequently reducing the magic concentration, leading to the complete disappearance of Demons.

This world is just like the former Blue Star, filled with Demons.

Unexpectedly, elves in this world's main food source are Demons.

Staring at the stone beast in the distance, Yan Luo loosened his shoulders and neck before rushing forth suddenly.

......

"You met a human?"

Julia sisters returned to their town of residence. Upon arriving back, Julia had Suniya rest first, while she went to find the Lingge Corps' Deputy Corps Commander stationed in the town, to report their experiences in the forest.

The Deputy Corps Commander was taken aback, "To my knowledge, humans have disappeared for over eight thousand years; how did you encounter a human?"

Julia replied, "Sir, the first elf to encounter that human wasn't me but Suniya. She was patrolling in Gass Forest as usual when she encountered the human. Based on her description, I believe the human might have appeared out of thin air in the forest."

The Deputy Corps Commander pursed his lips, showing a helpless expression, "I'll allocate more personnel to patrol Gass Forest, with the requirement that patrols always be conducted in pairs."

Julia shook her head, "Sir, the issue is not there. I request you report this matter to the Lord Council. Humans have been absent for over eight thousand years, no one knows what they've been doing in those years. Now they've visited our world, I believe we must be cautious, guarding against potential threats."

The Deputy Corps Commander pondered for a moment before saying, "Regarding this matter, you might find answers in the 'Academy' library, which supposedly contains essential records from the era of slave masters to the era of Lords. Humans had profound interactions with us before, perhaps it records the reason for human disappearance. As for what you mentioned to me, I won't help you report it, you need to draft a report yourself and submit it to our Lord. Reporting on your behalf is against regulations."

'Lord' in elf language is actually an abbreviation for 'the wisest person in a place'. Elves believe only the wisest individual can lead an enclave, and due to low reproductive desires, many Lords die without an heir. Thus, the Lord of an area is usually the student of the previous Lord, not necessarily as wise but capable of handling basic affairs.

Julia is a member of the Lingge Corps, but if she wants to report her discovery, she must draft a report herself and submit it to the Lord, waiting for the Lord to read her report before finding an opportunity to present it at the Lord Council.

The Deputy Corps Commander's report has higher priority than Julia, a squad captain. If reported by the Deputy Corps Commander, it would quickly reach the Lord.

In elf law, this act is equivalent to violating regulations.

Unless Julia is willing to give credit to the Deputy Corps Commander, letting him draft a report in his name and submit it to the Lord.

Julia naturally didn't agree to this.

Thus, she could only turn away to the teleportation station to inquire about the cost of traveling to the Academy.

She learned that a round trip would consume half of her current merits, leaving Julia silent, returning home to rest for half a day. Upon awakening, she pondered for a while before making a decision.

After becoming a soldier, all Julia's expenses relied on her merits, consuming half meant living frugally.

Fortunately, she had Suniya, her sister, and by partnering with her, they could endure this somewhat difficult period.

Julia traversed through the teleportation station, heading to the 'Academy'.

The Academy itself is a giant castle, inhabited by a hundred thousand elves, qualifying as a large city even globally.

Exiting the Academy's teleportation station, Julia had neither time nor mood to admire the scenery; she followed signboards directly toward the library.

The Academy library welcomes any elf willing to learn, as long as they don't take the books outside the library or damage them, all actions within the library are free.

Standing at the library entrance's bird cage rack, Julia addressed the green birds in the cage, "I wish to find books regarding the truth of human disappearance."

One of the green birds flapped its wings and flew out of the cage, leading the way for Julia.

Julia walked between rows of bookshelves, the dazzling array almost dazzling her.

Eventually, the green bird stopped at the twelfth layer of a secluded bookshelf.

Julia pushed over a ladder from the side, taking a book from the twelfth layer of the bookshelf.

After she took the book, the green bird flew up and headed toward the bird cage at the entrance.

This means there's only one book in the library that records the truth of human disappearance?

With doubt, Julia opened the old book whose pages were made of silk.

The book's pages were treated uniquely, making each page quite sturdy, offering a convenient reading experience.

As she read, Julia suddenly felt incredulous.

According to the book's description, humans wished to stay away from the 'Secret Realm', thus cut all ties with the outside world. Later, when elves tried to contact humans again, they found none of the previous methods effective.

Only then did the elves confirm that humans had truly departed from the Secret Realm.

After that, the world humans lived in should thoroughly lose magic.

However, what Julia saw didn't reflect that...
