Chapter 237: Intervention! (2/2)
”Their houses seem too different than ours.”
Well, it's because the spirit race was far more advanced than humans. Elliot knew that, while Lucy didn't. It's all because he had covered the entire map and came across a lot of ancient text and found out the truth about this place, but the same couldn't be said for others.
”Ladies first.”
Like a true gentleman, Elliot allowed Lucy to go first.
”Then, I will be going ahead.”
Lucy didn't refuse his kindness and took the portal. The very next moment, she found herself in front of a bridge that led to a fountain.
”You guys are next.”
Elliot's pet went ahead, but a mysterious force denied them entry. It was the rule of this place, but they didn't realize it. As a result, they tried to force their way into the portal. Not only were they extremely prideful, but their master was also looking at them, so how could they allow something to disgrace them and cause them to lose face in front of their master. They changed into their original form and attacked the force surrounding the portal. Their resistance proved useless as the invisible force bounced them away, causing them to shoot towards their master's sturdy chest. He raised his hand and stopped the two giants. He budged not even a bit and placed them on the ground hands.
”Stop your mindless assault.”
A voice came out of the copper statue.
”You beasts belong to this forest. Although you're allowed to travel to other zones, the housing complex is still a forbidden area. It's a place only the trial takers can enter, and you two aren't one. Now, go back and stop causing trouble!”
It sounded like a woman's voice, and although the words were harsh, no signs of threat appeared around them. Elliot thought that the voice might belong to the soul of the barrier.
”Master, it looks like we can't take this portal.”
The two returned to their little forms and said those words with a regretful expression on their face. They wanted to tag along with Elliot as they not only enjoyed being in his company but also because Grace and the horrifying nightmare believed that they would witness many incredible sights and become even stronger.
”Master, I guess this is where we part.”
The cute little doll had her head held low. Even the coldest of heart would melt at this dight, let alone Elliot. He patted her on the head and said, ”It's too soon to be disappointed.”
”Master, do you have a plan?” The horrifying nightmare asked.
Elliot nodded his head and turned towards the copper statue.
Elliot asked. ”Is there a way to take them with me?”
He was unwilling to part with them. They belonged to him! If this place refuses to let him take them away, he doesn't mind destroying the entire settlement and fighting against the spirit to get what he wants!
