Chapter 292: Chapter 266: The Unforeseen Shortcut (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

Joanna was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized what was happening. Afra wanted to ask further, but Joanna quietly held her back.

Since this matter is related to the Tower of Truth, it should be taken seriously.

The fact that a magic array has been set up on the Ancient Tree of Life indicates that the situation has become quite dire.

Although the specific function of this array is unknown, it’s certainly not some kind of ’I was here’ signature.

Currently, the influence of the Divine Court over the Elf Clan is far too limited.

Conducting an investigation hastily in such circumstances would inevitably lead to constraints at every turn.

However, if the two sisters completed the succession ritual to become the new Life Twin Goddess.

With the authority and perspective of a god, investigating this matter would certainly yield twice the results with half the effort.

The control over the Ancient Tree of Life and the compliance of the Elf Clan would also be greatly affected.

Moreover, they might even be able to take the initiative into their own hands.

Originally, Lette thought that the succession ritual of the Life Goddess could be done at any time, without hurry.

But now, the sooner the better.

Joanna asked with concern, "Lette, do you have a way to break this magic array?"

"To break this array is not impossible, but it would take a long time. However, I have a better idea."

"What idea?"

"Let The Liar Demon intervene and move the array to another place. This way, the succession ritual can continue, and we have ample time to study what exactly this thing is."

Speaking of this, Lette took two steps back: "I’ll handle this personally. I was planning to visit the Elf Empire sometime later anyway.

Given the current situation, I have to go earlier than expected."

Joanna was somewhat worried: "Are you going there all the way from the mortal realm?"

"That’s right..."

Lette smiled faintly: "Don’t worry, Kedrus Harbor itself is on the outskirts of the First Empire. Following the coastline southwards will lead to the borders of the Elf Empire.

Roughly estimating, it takes about a day by carriage to get there. If heading towards the Elf Imperial City, it would take another two days by carriage.

At my speed, I can make a round trip in a day."

Upon hearing this, Noi suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Wright, are you going to the elves?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Wright, it seems you have a way to quickly enter the Fairy Tale Subspace?"

"That’s right, you know about the Fairy Tale Subspace too?"

"Yes, who doesn’t know in the Divine Realm? It was an unprecedented feat, ascending to a subspace from a dream!"

The little girl became increasingly excited as she spoke, looking somewhat adorable as she gesticulated wildly.

Her sister Nora also clapped her hands: "I understand what Noi means. Mr. Wright, you don’t need to travel all the way to the Elf Imperial City.

You can simply pass through the Fairy Tale Subspace, then to the Jade Dream, and from the Jade Dream return to the Elf Imperial City in the real world."

"That’s right, that’s what I meant!"

Lette’s eyes also lit up: "Yes, how did I not think of this shortcut! This way, returning to Harbor City would be a breeze.

Great, I can even pick up Pinocchio on the way.

Let’s go with this plan!"

Nora immediately condensed a Divine Power Seed using Life Divine Power and handed it to Lette.

"This is the pass to the Jade Dream, Mr. Wright, please keep it safe."

"Alright, you two, be prepared as well. Let’s try to complete the entire succession process as quickly as possible."

With that, Lette’s phantom slowly dissipated, and his consciousness returned to Harbor City in the present world.

When he regained his senses, he found Alice, Emily, and Lilith staring at him with wide eyes.

"Brother, what’s wrong?"

"There’s a bit of a problem with the succession ritual of the Elf Deity, and I need to handle it personally."

"Huh? Then... is it far?"

Emily pinched her chin, looking quite knowledgeable: "I remember that from here to the capital of the Elf Empire, it takes at least three days by carriage.

But this route is not very safe; there are many checkpoints and outposts along the way, as well as many magic beasts and bandits.

If you travel with a caravan along the safest trading route, it takes half a month.

With an escort from a mercenary team, you can do it in a week with stops along the way.

If you travel day and night, departing in the morning, you’ll arrive early on the third day!"

Lette was surprised and eyed Emily: "How do you know so much about this?"

"The Elf Kingdom, of course! As a mage, is it strange that I yearn for the Elf Kingdom? Ever since I was young, I’ve dreamed of traveling to the Elf Empire one day.

Back then, I even wrote a detailed plan and drew my own map!

I planned to set off from my hometown, reach the borders of the First Empire, then cross the entire empire to reach Marmalov City.

That’s the border fortress city adjoining the First Empire and the Elf Empire!

If you plan to take a carriage to the Elf Empire, you must pass through there; it’s an unavoidable checkpoint.

Luckily, that place isn’t far from here, less than a day’s journey."

Seeing everyone turn their heads towards her, Emily’s cheeks flushed.

"Well, actually, when I was about to come to Kedrus Harbor City, I secretly did some research. I thought that after resolving the matters here smoothly, I could fulfill my dream of visiting the Elf Empire.

I didn’t expect things here to be so tricky, nor did I expect the delays to last until now."

Lilith looked at Lette: "If you’re in a hurry, just fly over. At your speed, you could reach your destination in less than half a day, even at a leisurely pace, right?"

"That’s true, but now there’s no need to exert that much effort."

Lette immediately mentioned the shortcut through the Jade Dream and Fairy Tale World, and after hearing it, the women were unanimously amazed.

Alice, being the true governor of the Fairy Tale World, also affirmed it.

"Yes, this method is definitely viable. However, it’s also a burden on the body and shouldn’t be used frequently.

After all, entering the Fairy Tale Subspace from the real world, then going from subspace to another dream-like realm, then returning to the real world.

The entire process involves multiple rapid environmental changes, something not everyone can endure..."

At this, Alice glanced around.

Brother Lette, no explanation needed, no need to worry at all.

Sister Lilith, no explanation needed, no need to worry either.

Emily, who was raring to go, although already a Legendary Great Mage in all elements, but...

Seemingly seeing through Alice’s concern, Emily immediately puffed out her chest.

"Alice, don’t judge your sister by appearances. I’m also totally unafraid of the transitions between Element Subspace and the real world!

After all, I!

Once died countless times in the subspace, only to be immediately teleported into subspace upon resurrection, cycling for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Alice’s face changed drastically, and she grabbed Emily’s hand: "Emily, who exactly tormented you like this?

This was simply, demonic!"

"Ah...hahaha...that was just part of my training."

Emily chuckled awkwardly: "But anyway, I’m also not afraid of such intense external environmental changes!

So, you must not leave me behind!

Lette! Lette~ I beg you, going to the Elf Empire has been my dream since childhood!

I’m begging you, take me along!"

"Alright, alright, don’t stick so close... You still need the druid heritage of the Elf Clan for your feast, how could I not let you go?

But this time I’m going to handle things and help the Life Goddess complete the succession ritual; it’s a serious and important matter.

Also, there’s currently a magic array from the Tower of Truth appearing over there, even on the Ancient Tree of Life.

The situation is unclear and not suitable for everyone to go together.

This time, I’ll go first.

You stay home, and when I solve these troublesome matters, you all can come over for a visit.

At that time, not just you, I’ll also call Unica and Gretel along!

Everyone can relax!

Emily had to give in after hearing this: "Since it’s a serious matter, I won’t delay you."

"Don’t worry, at the shortest, half a day, at most half a week, I’ll be back.

The round trip will take less than ten minutes, like popping to the neighborhood to buy breakfast."

With that, Lette turned and headed towards the beach: "Wait for my good news!"
