Chapter 570 - 570 569 Another Place in the Forest
?Chapter 570: Chapter 569 Another Place in the Forest Chapter 570: Chapter 569 Another Place in the Forest Enveloped by the dusky sky light, Lucresia followed behind the elf woman wielding a strange elongated weapon, trudging deeper into the dense forest.
The other moved swiftly, her steps light as if on a wide, flat road, even amidst the forest’s uneven terrain and wild undergrowth, where no paths lay—a prowess that couldn’t help but evoke the “ancient skills” mentioned in old elf legends. In such tales, elves once lived across vast realms filled with forests, able to move between the trees like a gentle breeze, unlike modern elves, who had long forgotten many nature-harmonizing techniques amid their City-States of towering architecture.
Of course, Lucresia couldn’t keep pace with such strides—she knew without trying.
The witch lady was always against outdoor activities; even when she had to leave her abode, she would hasten her journey with various spells. Hence, after being left behind by the elf woman for the first time, she resolutely activated the Phantom Wind, occasionally transforming herself into scatters of paper to traverse the woods and keep up with the other—after all, her father wasn’t there.
Her only concern was how this peculiar elf appearing in this “Dreamscape” would react to witnessing such a scene. However, it turned out that the elf showed no reaction at all to her strange spells, just as at the beginning, the elf hadn’t realized the sudden “Outsider” was human and had invited her to a place called “Silence Wall,” as if welcoming a kinfolk.
Seeing this, Lucresia vaguely guessed at something and decided to conduct more obvious, striking tests to confirm her hypotheses—she intermittently stopped, creating large disturbances with magic, such as suddenly summoning giant flowering vines or causing explosions in the air.
Still, the elf showed no unusual reactions—she would merely pause when Lucresia deliberately delayed, patiently waiting for her to catch up.
Lucresia momentarily ceased her “testing” and proceeded to follow the elf hurriedly, while mentally controlling a “Puppet Medium” from a distance and describing her situation to Duncan:
“After my testing, this elf is indeed not the ‘dreamer’ of this Dreamscape; she must be a product or a component of it… Her cognition and behavior have clear limitations… It seems like a ‘normalizing filter,’ where the anomalies of the Outsiders are ‘normalized’ in her eyes, likely to maintain the Dreamscape’s stability.
