Chapter 726: 724 Illusion Realm Reappears_1

“Duke, here are the materials you asked for.”

The mage Andre directed his attendant to place a stack of sheepskin books on the long table in front of Colin, bowed, and said, “These are all the research from Mage Kurd and Mr. Ji, including information about Druids and divine beings.”

Colin nodded and casually picked up one of the books to browse.

Seeing this, Andre prepared to leave, only to hear Colin speak:

“By the way, I once heard from Evan Sanctus that there is a Heart of the Wise in the Tower of Mages?”

“Yes, Your Grace. Please wait a moment, I will retrieve it for you.”

...

Soon enough, Andre returned and reverently placed a square wooden box in front of Colin, saying,

“Your Grace, this is the rumored holy artifact of the Druids—the Heart of the Wise.”

With this, he opened the box to reveal a small green orb.

The orb was about the size of a fist, looking unremarkable, but if you looked closely, you could feel a peculiar power within it.

Colin was in a trance when he heard Andre speak again:

The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.

“Your Grace, this is an object passed down from the Elves. However, since the Druid’s tradition has been interrupted, we have yet to discover its use.

Further still, we can’t even confirm whether it really is the Heart of the Wise…”

“Alright, I understand.”

“Then I’ll leave you to it. If there’s anything more you need, just call for me. I’ll be waiting outside.”

Andre then bowed and left the room.

Colin buried his head in the sheepskin book for a while, but his gaze was always unconsciously drawn to the Heart of the Wise in front of him.

It was as if something inside was calling out to him, drawing him in.

Colin had experienced a similar feeling at the Oak Manor on the outskirts of Dragon City.

So, he put down his book, took the Heart of the Wise in his hand, brought it to his eyes, and examined it closely.

Gradually, he noticed that the light in the Heart of the Wise in his hand seemed to grow brighter and brighter. In no time, the entire room was bathed in a green hue.

The mistletoe hung around Colin’s neck, seemingly overjoyed to find a long-lost friend, suddenly flashed with a bright green light, reflecting off the Heart of the Wise.

Time seemed to stretch at this moment.

In a haze, Colin felt as if he saw the blue of the sea and sky, heard the songs of the flowers and the birds…

Just as Colin’s mind was empty, lost in the whispers of nature, a blade of grass touched his ear. A light tickling sensation shocked his heart.

Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful face up close.

“Elan Seraph.”

Colin involuntarily called her name.

The elven woman in front of him was the third time he had met her.

“What are you thinking about, Gana?”

Elan Seraph, in a green dress, barefooted with flawless white feet, squatted in front of Colin. Her pure blue eyes were filled with curiosity and teasing laughter. Her green hair draped casually over her shoulders and she was gently tickling his ear with a blade of grass.

Colin instinctively reached for her smooth leg under her dress.

Elan Seraph screamed and jumped back half a step. She effortlessly stepped on Colin’s hand, laughing gleefully.

Seeing Colin sit up from the grass, Elan Seraph turned and ran up the hill. As she ran, she turned her head to make a face at Colin.

Colin sprang up from the grass and chased after the silhouette ahead.

Elan Seraph ran ahead, her dress lifted, with Colin in pursuit. Neither of them used any transcendent power, laughing and chasing each other like a regular couple in love.

Every time Colin’s fingers were about to touch the hem of the long dress, Elan Seraph would elegantly turn around, avoiding his embrace, leaving behind a string of silver-bell-like laughter, guiding Colin to continue the chase.

Not until a while later did Colin finally manage to wrap the mischievous elf into his arms.

The delicate and tender sensation kept flowing into his heart, making Colin freeze for a few seconds.

This time, Elan Seraph did not struggle out of the man’s arms, and obediently nestled in Colin’s chest, her face flushed slightly.

Time seemed to slow down, and even the wind in the forest became gentle.

Holding the elf woman in his arms, Colin had a belly full of questions that he wanted to ask, but unfortunately, he couldn’t say a word.

Just like the previous illusions, Colin was simply experiencing past happenings from the first-person perspective of Emperor Gana, and during this process, he was unable to ask any questions that Emperor Gana didn’t ask in history.

However, he was not without gain.

At least he confirmed the relationship between this elf named Elan Seraph and Emperor Gana.

“Gana…” Just as Colin was lost in thought, the elf woman in his arms spoke up, “I have a bad feeling…”

“About what?”

“About the Divine Being…”

Emperor Gana looked down and looked earnestly into the eyes of the woman in his arms, laughing:

“How come you are suspicious again?”

But Elan Seraph reached out and gently held Gana’s face, speaking seriously:

“I have gone through the records of the legendary Rangers in Elven history and found that they either disappeared, died suddenly, or ended abruptly…without exception!”

Emperor Gana slightly furrowed his brows and said:

“Do you think this has to do with the Divine Being?”

“Yes. After the end of the Dragon Druid era, the eighth-order legend has reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the world, apart from the gods, who else could cause these legendary holy rangers to come to such unfortunate ends?”

Emperor Gana was silent for a moment, then asked again:

“So why do you think that is?”

“I do not know…” Elan Seraph shook her head, “I always feel that there is some hidden secret… and the disappearance of dragons and druids, among them were many nine-order demigod powerhouses, how could they just vanish?”

“Could it be…” Emperor Gana looked up, gazing at the azure sky, his eyes as if trying to pierce the clouds to see the boundless void, “Could it be that the Divine Beings do not tolerate any existence that could challenge their status?”

Whoosh–

The wind in the forest suddenly picked up.

A barrier of fluttering leaves formed in front of Colin’s eyes.

The scenery in his vision began to blur before becoming clear again.

When Colin came to his senses, he found himself staring blankly at the Heart of the Wise that was looming before his eyes.

The green light that filled the room gradually dimmed until it all retracted back into the Heart of the Wise.

Colin toyed with the Heart of the Wise for a while, but made no further discoveries.

Recalling every illusion he experienced, Colin had some speculations about the Divine Beings, about the legendary Holy Knights, and about the Druids.

But there were also many more doubts.

Putting down the Heart of the Wise, Colin focused once again on the research materials sent by the Mages.

However, not long after, Colin became impatient and stood up.

Opening the door, Colin stood at the top of the tower, looking out at the endless forest in the east, his mind swirling with thoughts.

In the end, he finally soared into the sky, heading eastward.
