What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

"I'm sorry I startled you."

The butterfly fairy apologized to everyone very sincerely.

I didn't realize that the butterfly fairy, who looks like a spoiled young lady, is actually very understanding and reasonable when you get along with her.

"It's alright. You were in such a hurry just now because you were trying to protect the mythical beasts here. I understand you."

An Yan smiled and said to the butterfly fairy.

Although he had just been misunderstood by the butterfly fairy, he wasn't angry at all.

Thinking about it this way, even if the Butterfly Fairy had actually fought with him just now, as long as he knew that the Butterfly Fairy was protecting others, An Yan probably wouldn't be angry.

Ron wasn't particularly impressed by the scene of reconciliation and pleasant conversation unfolding before him.

He looked down at the special liquid in his hand, which was bubbling with green bubbles, thought for a moment, then turned to the butterfly fairy and asked:

"You just said that the magical beasts in this forest have become very strange? When did this happen?"

"Hmm?" The butterfly fairy tilted her head and thought for a moment. "It's been more than two months. Ever since the guardian lost contact, the forest has changed."

“The Guardian…” Ron narrowed his eyes: “The Guardian of the Endless Forest?”

It was known beforehand that each of the four regions of the Fantasy Beast Continent had a guardian, or rather, a manager.

Each of them is a legendary mythical beast, possessing earth-shattering power.

Ron couldn't find their names in the encyclopedia before, nor did he know what type of mythical beasts they were.

"Yes, the guardian of the Endless Forest is Lord Jumang... More than two months ago, I went to chat with him as usual, but he didn't respond to me..."

The butterfly fairy lowered her head and said.

Jumang? That sounds familiar... like a character from some mythology...

Well, the legendary beasts in this world are all mythical creatures born from human imagination, so it's normal for them to sound familiar.

Ron's thoughts raced through his mind before he asked the butterfly fairy, "Can you talk to Jumang?"

"Most of the fantasy-level mythical beasts can talk to Lord Jumang. Since Lord Jumang is bored staying in the Guardian Temple all the time, we mythical beasts with the ability of mind link will chat with him from time to time."

"Then do you know the location of the Guardian Temple?"

"I don't know. I told you, we chatted with Lord Jumang using the ability of mind link. As for the temple... we're not at the Transmission level, so it would be difficult for us to even find it, let alone get in."

The Guardian Temple is a legendary place for most mythical beasts.

It has no fixed location, nor a fixed route to get there.

To get to the Guardian Shrine, one must reach the Legendary level to learn the methods, and it seems that one must also be approved by the Guardian Shrine.

That's what the butterfly fairy said.

Currently, there are only a handful of legendary mythical beasts in the Endless Forest, and most of them have lost contact. It is precisely because of this that the Butterfly Fairy was so sensitive and initially regarded An Yan and the others as enemies.

"In short, the Endless Forest is not safe right now. If you want to leave, you'd better hurry."

"As for today... it's already very late. You can stay here for the day, but you should leave as soon as possible tomorrow."

The butterfly fairy gave everyone a final plea.

Ron nodded.

Even without the butterfly fairy saying so, he would find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

But I'm afraid that trouble will come knocking before they leave.

Wow...what an adorable butterfly!

After everyone finished talking, Chen Xiaolian slowly woke up. As soon as she woke up, Chen Xiaolian praised the butterfly fairy with sparkling eyes.

Compared to baby caterpillars, the appearance of a butterfly fairy is obviously more likely to win the hearts of girls.

I wonder what Chen Xiaolian's expression will be when she finds out that the Butterfly Fairy is one of the evolutionary paths of the Insect Baby.

Upon waking up, Chen Xiaolian completely forgot about being frightened unconscious by the numerous baby insects and immediately started chatting with the butterfly fairy.

Ron, meanwhile, was observing from the sidelines, mainly watching the butterfly fairy's expressions and reactions.

Ron was still bothered by the fact that the baby bugs had previously appeared on their path seeking help.

Although it seems that Ron is overthinking things, the butterfly fairies and the others have no intention of harming Ron.

But... as a dirty adult, Ron felt it was always right to think of things in the worst possible light.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances...

Ron secretly glanced at Chen Xiaolian, who was chatting happily with the butterfly fairy.

Next up should be Chen Xiaolian's show.

Chapter 20 Meditation, Tracking, Ghost Spider!

As night fell, Ron closed his eyes to rest in the treehouse where the baby bugs had made it safe for him.

He appeared to be resting, but in reality, he was silently practicing meditation to enhance his mental strength.

Based on the last simulation, Ron was basically certain of one thing.

That means no matter how long you stay in the simulated world, only one night will pass in reality.

Based on his transformation abilities, everything he gains in the simulated world can be simultaneously transferred into reality.

If that's the case... then why doesn't Ron master magic here first, awaken his magical power, and then return to the real world?

Ron thought so, and he also wanted to know whether what he had learned in the simulated world could be brought back to reality. So he did not choose to return to reality, but continued to stay in the simulated world and adventure with An Yan and the others.

Cultivating mental strength was much simpler than Ron had imagined.

Perhaps due to his two lifetimes and the contract with the Frost Wolf, Ron's mental strength improved rapidly.

According to the old mage's ranking system, he is now at least comparable to an apprentice-level mage in terms of mental strength.

Although magic has not yet appeared, Ron is already able to learn his first apprentice-level spell.

In Ron's otherworld of swords and magic, there are actually quite a few spells, and the number of apprentice-level spells is the largest.

Although there are many spells available to apprentices, very few of them can be cast using only mental power and not magical power.

Ron can only learn and use three spells at this time.

The eye of the mind, the needle of the mind, the influence of emotions.

You can tell what abilities each of the three spells has just by looking at their names.

The Eye of the Mind allows Ron to conjure a special eye to observe everything within his mental sphere.

This move is similar to the previous projection of mental energy.

However, its advantage lies in the fact that this move can completely gather spiritual power, enhancing its concealment and making it difficult for others to detect.

Mental acupuncture, as the name suggests, involves using mental energy to condense needles and attack others.

Its attack power is not strong. With the mental strength of an apprentice, even if one were to use mental needles at full power, it would only cause a headache.

This is still dealing with ordinary people.

This move is basically ineffective against mages of the same level.

However, the advantage of this move lies in its scalability.

This move can be used by apprentices, and it can also be used by saints.

This trick is only good for beating weaker opponents.

Influence on emotions is also a simple and easy-to-understand trick, using mental power to manipulate the other person's emotional changes.

Like mental acupuncture, its drawback is that it can only be used against ordinary people with little mental strength. In other words, it is also a magic trick for easily defeating weak opponents.

However, I've heard that this move also has a higher level of magic, but to learn higher level magic, one must be a mage specializing in mental magic.

"So magic in this world comes in different types..."

When Ron truly came into contact with magic, he realized that in the world he had traveled to, magic was actually divided into major specializations.

Including the mental system, it is divided into ten categories in total.

The most basic elements are earth, water, fire, and wind, with light, darkness, ice, and lightning extending from these elements.

Including change and soul (spirit), there are a total of ten major directions of study.

Among them, light magic is classified as holy magic and is exclusively controlled by the Holy Church. The remaining nine major specializations can all be found in the Mage Guild.

Ron's current advantage lies in his high level of mental strength and aptitude for ice-type abilities.

You can choose to specialize in soul (spiritual) magic or ice magic.

Of course, the question of his major is not something Ron should be considering right now. He has only just stepped into the world of magic and hasn't even condensed a magic seed yet. He is at best an apprentice among apprentices and doesn't need to think about these things for the time being.

What Ron needs to do most now is to use his newly formed Spirit Eye to explore his surroundings.

Because barring any unforeseen circumstances, an enemy attack is certain tonight or tomorrow morning.

If An Yan and the others were truly the protagonists, then this world would not allow them to leave the village so peacefully.

Ron hesitated slightly before unleashing his psychic eye.
