Magic High School.

“If you don’t mind, you can just call me senior,” she said, then added, “or perhaps you can call me, Naya-senpai.”

"Buzz!"

In that instant, whether it was Li Ge and his group or Daphne, they all felt as if they had been struck by an infinite void, their brains buzzing.

Naya...

The hero team member who took the Sea God's Ring, and the fairy who disappeared from the academy's records more than three thousand years ago!

Why did she take over Daphne's mother's body? Was it also a case of possession?

Why is she inviting several people?

What exactly does she want to do?

Various questions arose in their minds, but it was clear that she was the type who could communicate and interact, and even different from Senior Karl.

Senior Karl appears to still be rational and communicative on the surface, but once you get to know him, you'll find that he has completely turned into a monster driven solely by obsession.

He will communicate with you, but he won't listen to anything you say. He will only follow his own logic and obsession to complete the things he set out to do before he died.

But this senior, Naya, was different. She seemed to be able to communicate. The long period of time had not completely eroded her rationality. At least at this moment, she was still normal.

After exchanging glances, the group slowly withdrew their hostility, but they made all the necessary preparations. If they were to face a battle, Li Ge could still activate his domain in 0.2 seconds.

The other teammates also have their own special skills that can overwhelm the opponent in a very short time. That's how their team is. Everyone is weak in all aspects, but everyone has their own unique skill.

Whether it's Li Ge's domain, Xiao Ye's shadow, Yi Lian's six treasures or the hypothetical collapse, or Valerie's nuclear explosion horse.

The group slowly walked toward the place indicated by Senior Sister Naya.

Li Ge, who was walking at the back, watched as Daphne once again collapsed to the ground in a position resembling a duck, and he sighed.

"Should we go and help her?" Yilian asked tentatively.

Originally, Yilian wasn't too fond of this childlike fairy, but after experiencing some things together, she still asked him if he was just... pitiful?

Xiao Ye didn't speak, but looked at Li Ge. Valerie was about to speak, but seeing this scene, she ultimately didn't utter her inadequate and rubbish words.

As the dawn sunlight streamed in, Li Ge seemed unable to open her eyes.

Why are you all looking at me?

Li Ge scratched his head.

Should I comfort the girl or say something offensive?

Perhaps we should comfort her now. She has just learned about the history of the fairies, and then, in her confusion, she saw her mother whom she thought was dead. In her excitement, she discovered that it was not her mother at all, but another person who seemed to be her.

After such a rollercoaster of emotions, her head must be spinning. She probably wouldn't even react much if she were slapped right now.

Comforting her and helping her out of her shadow might be the right choice.

But that's a useless way of thinking!

Li Ge naturally chose to speak nonsense; he had no interest in playing the role of a caring older brother.

“Sigh, sitting like that in my hometown is illegal. Do you know you’ve broken the law?” Li Ge said directly. “Let’s go. It’s not like we outsiders are busy helping the fairies with their secrets and past, while you’re secretly dropping little pearls here by yourself, is it?”

"I didn't cry..." That seemed to be all she said at the end.

“Oh right, you didn’t cry…” Li Ge rolled her dead fish eyes and finally said, “Come on over here. Don’t show me your pathetic thinking. Don’t make me look down on you.”

My pride value didn't increase, nor did it decrease.

I should first find some witty remarks suitable for this moment in "Flirting Quotes".

However, Li Ge still managed to catch up with the other kids ahead of her.

When he turned his head slightly and glanced behind him, the fairy lady who had been sitting like a duck still followed him.

Li Ge's lips curled up slightly.

In the end, she gradually shed her original useless mindset.

……

"I'm sorry, I can only use this body to communicate with you. And I'm sorry for taking up some of your mother's last remaining time of life," Senior Sister Naya said, seemingly apologizing, but her apology was very calm.

A kind of numb calm.

"What do you mean?" Daphne finally mustered her courage, looked at his face, and asked.

“Herman and I, in order to seal the sea god, took root and parasitized his heart together. Normally, we would not be able to leave at all. However, at that time, a little girl made a contract with us…” The senior looked at Daphne and slowly began to speak.

“Perhaps she pitied us, so she was willing to use her body as a bridge, giving us time to see a new world. It was a terrible method, but she still made that choice, and in the end, it became the only way for Herman and me to understand and observe this world,” Nyali explained.

"It was a very cruel contract, but she persevered, and so did her daughter, and they've stayed together until now..."

Daphne fell silent.

"In the end, how did she die..." After a long silence, she finally asked this question.

"Her mind can no longer control her psychic powers," the senior student said.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"She could no longer suppress her psychic powers. She had only two choices: either become a bloodthirsty goblin or die. So she ultimately chose death and gave me her last bit of time."

The senior's words were as cruel as a sharp knife, piercing straight into the fairy's heart.

"Will I die like this...?" Li Ge asked.

"Power you can control is fine, but power you can't control will lead to your death." The senior student spoke slowly, seemingly trying to convey her values ​​to the younger students, or perhaps it was simply the sharing of an elderly person.

"You should have already read the records of the Bloodthirsty Fairy, right?" the senior asked.

The group nodded.

"Initially, Bloodthirsty fairies were just mutated individuals among fairies. It seems that they were mutated from their ancestors, or they accidentally obtained the power of the gods. They were more powerful and had more magical talent than normal fairies."

"At that time, they were called 'new fairies,' possessing talents far surpassing those of ordinary fairies. Through gradual research, more and more fairies also found ways to become new fairies. Drugs? Stimulation? Or completely liberating their hearts? Falling into depravity? All of these could allow normal fairies to become new fairies."

"Somewhat, similar to the process of a superhuman suddenly appearing in your human society?"

The senior student spoke slowly, then seemed to joke, "Can you imagine what the world would be like if you could not only avoid becoming bad but also potentially gain power after you fell into depravity?"

“Back then, fairies were promiscuous, drug-induced, mad, and succumbed to their desires… No matter what they did, they always had ‘I want to become a new fairy’ as their talisman.”

"In the end, the new goblins even developed racial segregation and distinction from the old goblins. Some of the new goblins even wanted to kill all the Muggle goblins so that only their new species would exist in the world."

"Then, they completely lost control of their power and desires..."

"They have become complete slaves to their desires."

"And so, the Bloodthirsty Fairy was born..."

Senior Sister Naya slowly recounted another layer of the fairy's history, one that had never been recorded in the annals of history. It was the history of the fairies before they escaped to this planet, and even before the special race of Bloodthirsty Fairies was born.

“But she’s different.” Naya pointed to her face and said, “Long-term fatigue and depression caused her spirit to weaken more and more until it could no longer suppress the power, thus triggering the genes of the bloodthirsty fairies from her ancestors.”

“Exhaustion and… depression…” Daphne repeated blankly.

"Yes, even you don't know that your mother is actually a severe depression patient. I don't know how difficult it is to manage the fairies now, but when I took over her body, I felt the exhaustion and depression, and after she couldn't hold on any longer, those ignorant fairy nobles immediately divided the imperial power and directly used her identity to command the royal guards..."

"Until I took over her body."

Li Ge and his group: "..."

So that's how it is. It's a classic aristocratic power struggle, a plot point that has appeared in Hamlet as well.

However, this absurd aristocratic power struggle was easily suppressed by this senior student, and it's clear that those old-fashioned nobles are likely to meet a bad end.

Judging from the looks of it, she was probably taken over to fill in the lines of the sea god's corpse.

The senior student led the group to a secret room, then opened the door, went inside, and said, "Come in together..."

After a slight hesitation, the group went inside.

The first two statues they saw were a man and a woman, which looked as if they were regularly cleaned.

Then, after Senior Sister Naya performed the operation, the wall behind the statue completely cracked open in the next instant, as if the earth itself was trembling.

Then, something Li Ge and the others could never have imagined happened: beneath the palace of the fairy capital, a massive gate, as large as the sky, opened, revealing a bottomless void below.

"Welcome to the last ecosystem of the fairies, or you could call this place... the land where the sea god fell!" The senior student slowly stepped aside, and then she seemed to turn on some kind of light source.

The next instant, a light source resembling the sun shone brightly, and the group was able to see what was below.

However, at that glance, the group felt as if their eyes were about to go blind, and their sanity plummeted.

Tree roots, countless tree roots! Thousands upon thousands, endless, like billions of tentacles.

These tree roots grow out of the darkness like a venous system, the thinnest being as fine as a hair and the thickest as a person's waist. They intertwine, coil, and split, only to recombine again in the distance.

In the central area, a giant heart floats.

Thousands upon thousands of tree roots converge on the heart from all directions, tightly binding it and taking root here, as if parasitizing and drawing upon the heart's last strength.

"This...this..."

"These are dead fairies; they will eventually become part of these tree roots," the senior student said slowly.

"This continent is nothing more than a giant floating ark, formed by the accumulation of these tree roots."

She went inside.

Although they had guessed this step beforehand, Li Ge and the others were still utterly shocked when they actually saw these dense tree roots.

The group hesitated even more, but in the end, they followed their senior and went deeper into the area.

Having come this far, is there any reason to back down?

Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers inside, they're still willing to brave it.

Besides, it seems that the senior student is reasonable; she has only been explaining history to the group and answering their questions.

This is actually very important, because many battles are caused by misunderstandings due to information asymmetry.

Especially senior Karl, if only he could speak plainly, stop being a riddle-maker, and lay everything out in the open instead of keeping it all bottled up inside.

Unfortunately, Karl, the senior who possessed Yilian's body, may have already died.

The prophet who remained in that small fishing village, constantly possessing his own descendants, was nothing more than a monster born from the spirit of Senior Karl, whose only obsession was sealing the goddess.

Instead of being the riddle teller, Senior Sister Naya seemed ready to speak frankly and openly.

"This is the corpse of the sea god, and that's his heart. Even now, it's still alive, still beating, still...cursing the fairies!" Naya pointed to the heart in the distance and then said.
