Chapter 211: The Elven Girls Prank (part One) (2/2)

“I see… well, that’s going to be a problem…” Marni scratched his head unhappily. “He told me that he’ll take me to the arcanum in the Trinia Forests.”

As mentioned before, this world was a multidimensional world formed from a combination of countless planes, as if innumerable bubbles pasted together.

The biggest bubble would be the Prime Material Plane, and there would naturally be tiny bubbles.

Those tiny bubbles would maintain their existence by latching on to the big bubbles and borrowing the bigger plane’s complete Rule System, hence forming mini dimensions known as the arcanum.

Although there might not be anything good in the arcanum, it definitely held the sights the outside world would never see—and that aspect alone made those places worth exploring for the Players.

Meanwhile, Selene was feeling a little curiously delighted, as if Marni’s troubled look satisfied her need for payback.

However, a simple lie like that would be immediately exposed when Jamie returned, and Selene became a little frustrated at that.

Still, she suddenly felt a sense of inspiration as the plan for a prank took shape in her mind and took hold of her.

“Since Jamie’s busy, should I lead you to the arcanum instead?” The elven girl patted her modest chest and tried hard to look sincere. “Don’t let appearances fool you—I was a fine patrolwoman before, until I took an arrow to the knee.”

Marni hesitated, his curiosity about the arcanum eventually getting the better of him and he nodded. “Well, I’ll be in your care.”

Selene did not prepare much since she was afraid that they would run into Jamie who would be on the way home. She simply put on her old armor while mumbling ‘why does it feel a little tight on the chest’ and brought along her short sword which was shining brightly thanks to her maintenance and left.

“The Trinia Forests are the shared domain of two different gods,” she explained to Marnie, who was following behind. “The clash between their powers is exactly why spatiality is more fragile in Trinia than other places, with many weird entrances into various arcanum appearing in the forests.”

“Thanks to that, we would have to deal with monsters invading the Prime Material Plane from those different arcanum.”

Even as Selene spoke solemnly, she was sneering from an angle where Marni couldn’t see while struggling to hold back her laughter. “The arcanum entrance I’m taking you to is one where a devil from hell had once been sealed.”

“Devil?” Marni was surprised, but he still appeared full of anticipation. “I’ve never seen such a thing!”

“Um… Aren’t you afraid?” The elven girl appeared surprised.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I mean, the worse that could happen to me is dying!”

“…”

He was being so frighteningly open-minded, prompting chills that could cut into the bone.

‘Don’t humans have the wrong idea about death?’ The elven girl couldn’t help but think.
