Chapter 62 First Entry into the Elf Territory

Heiyan Pass.

Isolde and Lotte emerged from the magic circle, and the surrounding guards bowed and saluted Isolde.

Under Lord Isolde's coercion, the officials of Ellandor had no choice but to allow Isolde to use a teleportation array to send them to the vicinity of Fengen Town.

Instead of going to Maple Town, Isolde and Lotte went directly into the Maple Forest through Blackrock Pass, heading towards the territory of the elves.

Lotte didn't encounter any monsters along the way.

Monsters have a strong sense of danger, so they wouldn't rush right up to Isolde, the "Cataclysm".

"The territory of the elves is just ahead."

A deep blue river appeared before them. A mist formed by blue magic completely shrouded the forest on the other side of the river, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Lot had never been here before. He followed Isolde across the river, but the moment he stepped into elven territory, a panel suddenly popped up.

Name: Lott

[Status: Poisoned]

The surrounding magic corroded the human body like a poisonous fog, and the humid air felt like needles when inhaled, causing sharp pain.

Lott clutched his chest without making a sound. He looked at Isolde and found that Isolde seemed completely unaffected.

The two continued walking into the territory. After passing through the outermost layer of fog, the fog gradually thinned, and the surrounding forest became increasingly dense.

The plants and monsters in the elven territory are several times larger and have become much more dangerous.

When they came to a fork in the road, Isolde told Lotte to stay where she was while she went to scout ahead.

Lotte breathed a sigh of relief upon finally being alone with the others. He quickly sat down on the ground, rubbing his aching lower abdomen.

He could feel his life slipping away bit by bit, and his poisoning was getting worse.

Lotte came here for a simple reason: he wanted to master "rapid chanting".

Currently, Lotte's Fireball spell has a casting time of 30 seconds, Burst spell has a casting time of 5 seconds, and Water Shield has a casting time of 60 seconds.

Apart from Explosion, the higher the level of other spells, the longer the casting time.

However, once you reach "Quick Casting" Lv.3 and awaken the Constructor Mage, the casting time of all spells will be shortened to between 3 and 5 seconds.

It's almost indistinguishable from instantaneous casting.

"Rapid chanting" originates from changes within the body. Chanting magic in an environment rich in magical energy will generate beneficial mutations within the body.

Nowhere is the magic more abundant than in the elven realm.

But no one would enter the elven territory just to "cast quickly".

The magic in the elven territory was too concentrated, to the point that it was deadly.

"Quick casting" can only be learned at the beginner to intermediate mage level, when mages are not high level and can only last a few minutes in the elven territory.

Therefore, wealthy and noble families would buy large quantities of magic crystals, break them into pieces, and pour them into the bath, so that the clan's mages could chant while soaking.

Lott didn't have that much money, but he had a lot of lives.

He coughed violently a few times and leaned against the tree trunk to catch his breath.

Lotte chanted the [Undead Summoning Magic] softly, outlining the spell with her hand little by little.

Without the help of the staff, it took him a full three minutes to summon Mia.

"Hey~"

Mia looked around in confusion, bewildered by the change in her new environment.

It noticed that Lott was unwell, walked over and licked Lott's cheek, trying to help Lott with its body heat.

“I’m fine.” Lotte stroked its fur, feeling much more comfortable. “You’ve seen Chloris and Fafnya now, but you can’t see Isolde. She doesn’t know I can use magic.”

"Hey~"

"Don't lick it, don't lick it. Go back first, I'll call you later."

Lotte ended the [Undead Summoning Magic], and then cast it again.

After only three cycles of casting, a new skill appeared on Lotte's panel.

[Quick Casting Lv.1: Slightly increases the speed of spell casting]

When Lot chanted, the abundant magic transformed his soul, allowing him to quickly master "Rapid Chanting".

This is good news.

The bad news is that Lotte is about to collapse.

His thighs began to twitch uncontrollably, and his body went limp.

He hadn't expected that even a paladin's physique couldn't resist this magic power; he had anticipated that it would last at least half a day.

Lotte reached out haphazardly into the air, trying to get up, but unexpectedly grabbed something soft.

That was Isolde's hand.

"Lotte, what's wrong?"

"Lotte?"

Lotte was carried on Isolde's shoulder and ran towards the direction of Maple Town.

"Isolde...why do I feel so sleepy?"

"This is my purification magic. It's normal to feel sleepy. Go to sleep."

Lotte felt his eyelids getting very heavy, and with the rhythmic swaying of Isolde, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in bed, covered with a warm blanket.

Lotte scratched his parched throat, and the ceiling gradually came into view, while the shouts of children outside the window seeped in through the cracks.

In the dimly lit hotel room, an oil lamp provided illumination for the night.

Isolde sat on the edge of the bed reading a book. She had removed her armor, changed into a set of cloth clothes, and tied her white hair into a braid, letting it fall over her shoulders.

Noticing that Lot had woken up, Isolde looked up at the awakened Lot and asked, "You're awake?"

"Hmm...where is this?"

"Maple's Grace Town".

How did you get here?

"The magic of the elven realm is about to take your life. Why didn't you tell me?"

"We cannot delay Lord Isolde's progress."

In reality, Lotte wanted to use "Quick Chant".

Lotte now only felt a little regretful. He had mastered such a rare skill as "Quick Chanting" after only repeating the incantation a few times. It would have been even better if he could have stayed in the elven territory a little longer.

“I can’t go any deeper either. I’ve accumulated some toxins in my body.” Isolde sighed. “Healing magic poisoning requires special purification magic. We can only go in once I’ve mastered that magic and unlocked the feat that allows me to heal myself.”

Even the [Catastrophe] Isolde is still troubled by magical corruption in the elven territory.

Although she will not be in mortal danger, her movements will become sluggish, similar to a state of mild paralysis.

This point is magnified infinitely when facing a powerful enemy.

"Can skill level be increased simply through treatment?"

Now that they were in familiar territory, Lot said to the puzzled Isolde, "As long as I keep going in and out of the elven territory and keep getting poisoned, you can keep using me as practice, right?"

"what?"

Isolde clearly hadn't expected this kind of maneuver.

"But... I can't guarantee you'll be completely alright."

Lotte slowly got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked at the town of Maple's End 200 years later.

He said with his back to Isolde, "I believe you, Isolde. Anyway, you just tried to heal me, so all you have to do is repeat it."

Isolde watched Lot's retreating figure, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay. But if you experience any abnormalities, you must tell me."

"no problem."

Lotte thought it was a win-win situation: Isolde could improve his proficiency in purification magic, and he could also frequently go to the elven territory to refresh his stats.

He put on his coat and thick gloves, ready to go out, but was stopped by Isolde.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go for a walk."

Lotte wanted to see what Mapletown would be like 200 years from now.

"Then I'll be with you."
