Chapter 668 Dangers of the Night

"You heard what the clerk said, didn't you, Phil?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

The silver-haired girl tilted her head, blinked her red eyes, and looked somewhat puzzled.

When no one else was around, Phil would revert to his original appearance. Although Celia felt that this would increase the risk of exposure, she didn't say anything because she thought that Phil's disguise was basically superficial and would be exposed with just a little contact.

"She said the Elf King's City is dangerous at night and told us not to go out. This is a good opportunity to investigate and see where the divine relics are."

"it is good."

Phil nodded.

"Let's set a time, then take a break... By the way, how about going out for a walk later?"

"We'll talk about it later. Let me try to find the location of the relics first."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Phil, Celia went to her room and was about to meditate when she received a notification on her bracelet. When she opened it, she found that it was from Elena.

The other party responded to Celia's message and asked Celia what had happened.

Celia thought for a moment and didn't tell her that she had come to the Elf King's City. She was still hesitating, wondering whether to directly ask Elena about the [Flower of Life].

Just then, Elena called.

As soon as the connection was established and Elena's projection appeared, she asked, "Celia, what happened?"

"Well, it's nothing." Celia hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask directly, "I just wanted to confirm one thing—Elena, do you know about the [Flower of Life]?"

"The Flower of Life?" Elena looked puzzled. "What is that? If it's the Flower of Life, I know what it is, but you're not talking about the Flower of Life."

"No."

The Flower of Life is a high-level spiritual item similar to the Star of Frost, and it is also an extremely rare material.

“Although I don’t know what you mean by the Flower of Life, I can try to find it for you,” Elena said.

"No, don't mention the Flower of Life to others casually. It might not be a good thing, and it could make people who know about it think differently of you."

"Oh? All right."

"How have things been lately?" Celia changed the subject.

"The situation is getting worse..."

Elena told Celia the latest situation. She didn't mention some secrets involving the Elven Royal Court, but she didn't hide anything about the current situation and told her directly.

Besides guiding the monsters, the major events currently happening within the Elven race include the relocation of the populace and Phoenix's covert intervention.

The people of the Kingdom of Phoenix did not intervene secretly or openly, but instead chose to negotiate with the Elven Royal Court and reach an agreement.

The contents of the agreement were beyond Elena's knowledge; all she knew was that the people of the Kingdom of Phoenix had already joined the extermination of the monsters.

Meanwhile, the Elven Royal Court's forces were making some strange movements, but Elena had no idea what they were doing.

She now has even less trust from the Elf King than before, and rarely knows those core messages.

After learning this news, Celia talked to Elena again before ending the communication.

As Elena's projection disappeared, Celia slowly fell into deep thought.

"Elena doesn't seem to be the chosen one they were talking about?"

"Or perhaps the person who is born with the Flower of Life is unaware that they have been chosen?"

After thinking for a long time, Celia sighed.

"We still can't tell. Oh well, let's wait until tonight." Time slowly passed, and before night fell, Celia and Phil went out for a stroll around the now-deserted Elf King's City, experiencing the city's current atmosphere.

In the evening, the two returned to the hotel and were once again reminded not to go out at night, and that they would close the door after nightfall.

Celia and Phil exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly at each other.

Then they pretended to obediently return to their rooms, waiting for nightfall and the so-called danger to arrive.

Before long, the sky darkened, and the Elf King's City began to light up with dazzling light.

All the plants began to glow, enveloping the entire city in a dreamlike scene.

At this time of year, the streets outside are usually packed with people, but now they are deserted, with only occasional patrol teams to be seen.

Meanwhile, the passing patrol teams were using loudspeakers to announce that everyone should go back immediately.

"They just told everyone to go back, but didn't tell them why. Aren't they afraid that some curious people might sneak out?" Phil looked outside curiously, somewhat puzzled.

Celia said, "There are definitely some who are very curious, like the two of us."

"Well, that's right."

After waiting for a while and not seeing anything outside, Celia looked at Phil, who happened to be looking at her as well. The two of them worked together perfectly, using a little trick to break the magic array nodes of the entire treehouse, and then quietly left through the window, appearing outside.

"It seems like nothing's happened," Phil said.

Celia looked into the distance. "It's probably because we're too strong. Let's go. I've noticed some curious people have come out too. Let's go check them out and see if they're alright."

“Okay.” Phil did not refuse.

However, unlike Celia who was just having fun, she was thinking that if something happened, she could help her.

The two quickly arrived above the person who had quietly slipped out, on a large tree, looking down at the furtive person below.

It was a human, of unknown origin, whose strength was that of a first-tier mage.

After carefully avoiding the patrol, the other party chuckled, "The Elf King's City is dangerous at night? Don't think I don't know what you're planning. With such a good opportunity, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't do something."

Phil frowned. "What is he talking about? What does he want to do?"

Celia chuckled: "Who knows? Anyway, it's not going to be anything good."

The two followed quietly from the sky without being noticed by the other.

Soon, the other side took new action.

He stopped outside a shop, looked around warily, and knocked on the door after confirming that no one was there.

Obviously, no one can open a closed shop.

He seemed relieved and took out a... key?
Celia and Phil exchanged a glance, already pretty much guessing what the other was planning.

Coincidentally, this shop sells some low-grade materials, as well as ordinary but expensive goods.

"So it was a thief."

How did he get the store key?

“That key isn’t an ordinary key; it’s a decryptor that can temporarily disable magic circle nodes,” Celia explained. “Every tree in the Elf King’s City is a node, and opening and closing doors also requires operating within those nodes.”

"so……"

Phil stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking and looked into the distance.

In the distance, waves of pollution surged in like giant tidal waves.
