Everyone in the Black Wing Clan knew that Lord Black Dragon had been feeling gloomy and restless for the past few days. However, only Hogg and a few other higher-ups knew the reason — the Elven Forest was too slow. They had yet to give an explanation regarding the outcome of the discussion with the fairies.
In the end, Caesar could not take it anymore and decided to ask Luna what was going on.
It was not that he could not wait. For a True Dragon with a long lifespan, time was not a hindrance. However, he had enough of the torment of waiting.
Damn it, these damned, slow, and inefficient Elven Forest people should all be captured by the Abyssal Demons and hanged to death.
The Black Dragon bared his teeth and returned to the Emerald Palace angrily. White steam surged out of his nose as he chased away all the Wyvern Guards around him. Then, he curled up in the tall throne that had just been completed and presented by the Goblins. He found the Mass Energy Crystal that could resonate with the crystal that Luna carried and crushed it.
The illusory bubble first overlapped and blurred, then gradually became clear.
Caesar did not see Luna. The first thing that entered his eyes was the towering broad-leaved forest, huge entwined vines, and endless unknown vegetation.
"Luna?" He called out.
"Hmm?
Hmm! "
The image was slightly adjusted and changed, revealing the beautiful figure of the little one. She greeted the Black Dragon and called out "Caesar". Then, she quickly put her finger in the middle of her lips and said mysteriously, "Shh —"
"What are you doing?" Caesar cooperatively lowered his voice and asked.
The huge Black Dragon changed his position so that he could see more clearly. He noticed that the little one had a small backpack on her back and held the staff that he had given her last time, "Spring Surge".
"Run — run."
Luna choked as she spoke. At the same time, she flapped her wings and quickly flew through the broad-leaved forest. She even deliberately took a detour to avoid the cold spring that was often inhabited by people. She was very fast.
"Run?
Where are you going? "
"To your place. My parents never allowed me to leave the Elven Forest, so I snuck out by myself," Luna replied.
Caesar's expression turned sour. A month ago, Garcia had promised to persuade Luna's parents, but the little one's situation didn't change at all. Was it because the Elven Forest was too slow, or did they not take it to heart and did not do it at all?
"Caesar, I miss you very much." The little fellow continued, pulling him back from his thoughts.
"Really?"
In front of Luna, Black Dragon couldn't do anything, so Caesar put the matter aside for the time being. He grinned and said, "Then I'll just watch you run away."
"Leave home?"
Luna's expression was a little confused, but she quickly threw it to the back of her mind.
When he was with her, Caesar would often say words that didn't exist in Airadia. The little one was already used to it. If this was important, the Black Dragon would explain further.
The Elven Forest was Luna's home. Her mother always said that she already knew how to run around in the forest before she even learned how to fly. Luna obviously didn't remember if she had run around in the Elven Forest before she learned how to fly, but her familiarity with the forest was unquestionable.
To an outsider, the Elven Forest was a vast maze of rolling hills, lush giant trees, twisted vines, and all kinds of flowers and plants. In the ancient parts of the forest, countless branches slanted in all directions, blocking the path ahead. It was easy for people to feel that they did not know where they were.
The previous Elven King, who was also Emperor Yufeng's mother, once said, "For thousands of years, we have built the forest into Airadia's constantly growing otherworldly plane, difficult to find and isolated from the rest of the world."
Even Caesar couldn't help but feel dizzy looking at such an environment.
It was rare for the little one to be so quiet. She wasn't excitedly chatting with the Black Dragon, but was instead focused on passing through the lush sea of flowers, weaving in and out of the illusory forest.
Luna knew all these things like the back of her hand. The complicated environment couldn't stump her. The reason why she was so careful wasn't because she was trying to determine the direction, but because she was worried about being discovered. This was the first time she had sneaked out like this. In the past, Luna would never have thought that she would go against her parents' wishes, so she couldn't help but feel nervous and her heart beat faster.
Ever since the evil tribe had infiltrated the depths of the Elven Forest, Garcia had increased the security. There were many tribe members monitoring and guarding the border.
The best way to leave quietly was to set off from the Camphor Forest, stay close to the ground, pass through the beautiful Yanan sea of flowers, and go around the rubber trees that were used as the guard's resting point. Then, one could reach the border and leave the Elven Forest.
Now, Luna had already completed half of it.
"After you come out, go straight to the mountain range I sent you to last time. There are Blackwing Clan members there. Let them send you back."
Caesar told her, watching Luna walk around the forest with interest and relish. His emotions gradually calmed down. In fact, the reason why Black Dragon was always so irritable was also related to Airadia's lack of entertainment. It was quite interesting to face a bunch of greedy and evil subordinates all day long, but in the long run, no one would be in a good mood.
"I know."
Luna nodded, her little face full of seriousness. She wasn't fooling around, but really wanted to sneak out and leave. Now, she was about to succeed.
Very quickly, she once again swept past a newly born rainforest, swinging back and forth between the tangled vines with ease. Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard a voice, causing her to tremble in fright. Fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on her fair forehead.
Caesar couldn't help but perk up and pay close attention.
"Emperor Yufeng said to stay alert," a strong voice said.
The little fellow was leaning against a big tree, and the voice came from the other side. "Recently, we have been in contact with Blackwing Nest. I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful."
"Isn't it that so-called Dragon King?"
A clear voice replied. Luna could tell that it was the voice of the Tiya Elf. It should be the Elf Ranger who was patrolling the forest. "Why do we have to pay attention to it? It's just a Black Dragon. If it really dares to come, we will stab its butt with sharp swords and arrows."
Luna floated in the air, quietly flying forward. She didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's chatter. She just wanted to leave the Elven Forest as soon as possible and return to Caesar's side.
However, she was still discovered.
The Elven Forest's patrolling troops had enough military training. They were not lacking in vigilance, so when the two creatures stopped talking, they immediately noticed the slight movements of the fairies.
"What's that?"
A low shout sounded, and the Elf Ranger quickly approached. In addition, there was a huge bear beast with a flourishing gray mane beside him.
"Oh, whew."
Luna subconsciously exclaimed. She threw away her disguise and began to quickly escape. Unfortunately, the Forest Fairies were not fast. Even with the support of the Fountain Staff, they could not compare to the patrolling guards.
Caesar slowly stood up from the throne and stared at the scene in the bubble.
In fact, the Elven Forest was full of people of the Good Faction, so the patrolling guards would not do anything to the fairies. At most, they would ask a few questions and let her go home. However, Luna had snuck out and was very nervous. When she saw people, she felt even more guilty and immediately ran away.
Such a move made the patrolling guards subconsciously feel that something was wrong.
"Catch her!"
A shout louder than the one before rang out.
Everything that happened next happened so quickly. It seemed that in an instant, the world in front of the bubble spun and countless blurry images flashed by amidst the little fellow's cries.
When it stopped again, there was only a clump of green grass in front of him.
Caesar heard the little fellow's soft pleading and the patrolling guards' stern questioning, but the voice was getting fainter and fainter.
"Luna."
Caesar called her name. When he found that there was no sound, he asked again, "Where is she?
… Luna? "
The surroundings were silent. No one answered.
