533 Village (1/2)

The crystal ball in front of Sherlock was covered with white rays from an explosion. After the explosion, the Teleport Portal was slanted to one side. The Little Fairy Princess, Arthur, Dragonborn, and the other gamers vanished.

”Lord Sherlock is full of surprises. What shall we do? Do you want to handle it yourself?” Bru asked Sherlock while he was looking in a daze at the crystal ball.

Sherlock shook his head and said, ”Everything is still under control.”

Sherlock put his hand on the crystal ball and infused Mana into it. The images reappeared in the crystal ball.

Sherlock frowned. The images weren't showing the expected forests. Instead, the images showed barren land.

The gamers and the Little Fairy Princess were teleported to a barren land.

”I didn't know that the Fairies' forest was on barren land. Does the Yggdrasill grow on such a barren land? Is there a problem with my knowledge? Or is the world changing too fast?” Bru asked puzzledly.

Sherlock didn't answer Bru's question because Bru knew the answer. The gamers were teleported to a different location. The Fairies who were controlling the Teleport Portal were affected by the explosion of the Sacred Light Bomb. Hence, the designated teleport location was changed. Only the gamers knew where they were. Sherlock wanted to locate the gamers, but it would take some time. Fortunately, the gamers were connected to the Mana source of Sherlock. If the gamers were teleported too far from Yggdrasill, Sherlock might have to make a trip.

NotWearingPants created a post requesting help on the discussion forum.

[Urgent, I'm waiting online.]

”Greetings, I'm NotWearingPants ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

We are safe. We almost completed our mission but met with a problem at the last moment. We were supposed to be teleported to the Yggdrasill forest, which was also Dragonborn's Strange Encounter Mission location. However, we arrived at a barren land. We don't know where we are. Take a look and see if you can recognize it.

This is our location terrain map. If you recognize the location, please contact us immediately.”

The gamers replied to his post enthusiastically, but none of the gamers recognized the location. There were many hilly areas near Victoria City, but nobody knew the location.

NotWearingPants sat on a hilltop. He woke up after getting back online. He browsed the discussion forum for a long time, but he didn't obtain any useful information.

The lost gamers asked the two accompanying NPC Fairies, but they didn't know either. The Fairy that came from Yggdrasill said, ”The attack of those vile Humans caused this problem. D*mn the Humans.”

The Fairy spoke grudgingly. After looking at the Victorians, the Fairy said, ”Ah, I'm not referring to you. I'm talking about the Humans of the Godly Kingdom.”

The lost gamers didn't have any useful information. However, it wasn't wise to stay at their current location. They got ready and walked down the hill.

The gamers were experts in wilderness survival. Arthur and his companions didn't require any special food. They only grabbed a handful of clay and cooked it in a pot before eating it.

Dragonborn and the Victorians also brought their dry rations. There were many hidden animals in the Surface World, so they could hunt them for food and nourishment. If not…

”We can eat this young Wyvern,” TakeASpearHit said jokingly. After Dragonborn, Arthur, and the other gamers were thrown into the Teleport Portal, the young Wyvern also flew into the portal.

The young Wyvern followed behind Dragonborn closely. It was wary and even hostile to Underground creatures like Arthur and his companions.

If Dragonborn hadn't restrained him, the young Wyvern might have attacked Arthur and his companions.

After so many incidents, the Little Fairy Princess wasn't guarded against the gamers, especially Arthur and his companions, who had protected her along the journey.

The Little Fairy Princess even expressed her regrets for treating Arthur and the other gamers coldly.

”I'm grateful, but not because I'm touched! It's because… it's my bad for treating all of you badly…”

Though she spoke softer and softer, the gamers could still understand her.

The Little Fairy Princess even told everyone her name.

After listening to the tongue-twisting name, the gamers made a decision.

”I think we should just call you Princess.”

”It's only a name. We're not really that concerned. We knew each other for so long. We'll just call you Princess.”

”Yes, yes. We'll call you Princess. I can't understand the Fairy language.”

The Little Fairy Princess wasn't surprised by their behavior. It was within her expectations.

The bodyguard of the Princess also told everyone his name, but the gamers couldn't understand.
