Chapter 1206: Chapter 1174: Aifula’s Unannounced Departure
"Great Elder?"
When Lin Yi logged back into the game and headed to the Elf Race, he saw the Great Elder, Gamplov, standing motionless next to the Teleportation Array Plaza as soon as he arrived.
Many players stood at a distance, pointing and gossiping about Gamplov.
Occasionally, someone would approach and try to talk, attempting to trigger a special quest or something.
However, those who tried were sent away by Gamplov’s kindly smile.
As soon as Gamplov saw Lin Yi appear, he immediately looked in his direction.
When their gazes met in the air, Gamplov turned without saying a word and walked towards the Elf Holy Hall.
Lin Yi understood Gamplov’s meaning from that brief look and followed him.
When Lin Yi followed the Great Elder into the Elf Holy Hall, the first words Gamplov spoke to Lin Yi were:
"The little one you brought over, Clan Leader, has awakened."
"Little one?"
At first, Lin Yi was a bit slow to react.
But he quickly recalled the Elemental Spirit, and his face lit up in delight:
"She’s awake?"
"Where is she."
At this moment, Lin Yi first thought of Aifula, guessing she must be more excited than him right now.
You know, ever since Lin Yi brought the Elemental Spirit from the Nine Nether Continent, Aifula had been by her side almost 24 hours a day.
Lin Yi had learned from Aifula.
This Elemental Spirit might very well be her kin.
If that’s the case, it’s no wonder Aifula has been so attentive.
However, the next words from Gamplov made Lin Yi’s body freeze:
"But she disappeared with Aifula right after she woke up."
Lin Yi, upon hearing this, was thunderstruck, his face instantly changed:
"What!"
Lin Yi was genuinely unable to react, shocked:
"What do you mean she disappeared?"
"Great Elder, you have to clarify."
The Great Elder, as if anticipating Lin Yi’s strong reaction, remained calm:
"They probably left Rafam Continent and went to the Nine Nether Continent."
"Returned to the Nine Nether Continent?"
Frankly, upon hearing this news, Lin Yi felt his mind was a bit foggy:
’Another who leaves without saying goodbye!’
This morning Dongfang Jing had just left, and now it was Aifula.
Is today April Fool’s Day?
Did they arrange this?
Why did Aifula leave suddenly? Lin Yi’s first thought was:
"What did the Elemental Spirit say upon waking?"
Clearly, Aifula’s sudden return to the Nine Nether Continent was definitely related to this Elemental Spirit.
Originally, Aifula, as Lin Yi’s Combat Pet summoned by the Spirit Summoning Technique, shouldn’t be able to leave Rafam Continent.
Whether her departure this time was due to the opening of Demon Forest is unknown.
The Great Elder, facing Lin Yi’s query, nodded directly:
"I don’t know what the Elemental Spirit said."
"Because at that time Aifula was keeping watch nearby."
"However, before leaving, Aifula had a message for the Clan Leader."
Lin Yi anxiously asked:
"What is it?"
The Great Elder paused before speaking:
"She asked you not to seek her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi raged:
"What is she doing!!!"
"That silly girl."
Aifula, the first Combat Pet to follow Lin Yi, wasn’t just that—she was also Lin Yi’s first friend in this game.
Ever since Aifula saved him from the Demon Race, Lin Yi regarded her as his own little sister.
Clearly, his own sister vanished silently without explanation and even asked him not to look for her.
Is that possible?
"Damn!!"
Reflecting on this, Lin Yi was furious:
"Are there things she can’t tell me? Ridiculous!"
The fact that Aifula left was absolutely because she heard something troubling about her clan.
It was the only thing that would lead her to leave without a word.
And by saying not to search for her, she must be trying to avoid dragging him into it.
Thinking this made Lin Yi weary:
"Please don’t let anything happen!"
Didn’t she know his capabilities as his closest companion?
Of course she did.
And knowing his abilities and yet unwilling to involve him left only one explanation.
That the trouble was something even he couldn’t solve.
Thinking this made Lin Yi’s brow furrow deeply.
What could be on the Nine Nether Continent that couldn’t be solved?
As Lin Yi looked at the Great Elder, he sensed Gamplov anticipated his question and shook his head:
"I’m not very clear on the details."
"If you insist on finding her, Clan Leader, I only know that the Elemental Spirits of the Nine Nether are supposed to reside in the ’Demon Forest’."
"Where exactly, I’m not sure."
After hearing the Great Elder’s words, Lin Yi felt a bit speechless, as if the words were useless.
Lin Yi knew that the Elemental Spirit lived happily within the Demon Forest.
But the Demon Forest on the Nine Nether Continent is vast.
Searching for a tiny Elemental Spirit tribe without specific location is like finding a needle in a haystack, utterly impossible.
Yet at this moment, Lin Yi thought of someone, not really someone, but...
"Why are you looking at me, dude."
Jade Qilin Ian, uncomfortable under Lin Yi’s gaze, hurriedly said:
"I only know the general area, Aifula mentioned it once in conversation."
"As for details, I don’t know since I’ve never been there."
On hearing this, Lin Yi got excited:
"A general area is enough."
That’s much faster than searching aimlessly.
Now Lin Yi started reviewing his plan: the city capture plan starts at 6 PM.
But some things need to be arranged in advance, which means I need to start preparing by 5 PM.
There’s still nine hours until 5 PM right now, so time should be ample.
Moreover, Lin Yi had planned to head to Nine Nether today, hoping to prevent people there from hunting in Demon Forest to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Thinking this gave Lin Yi a firm decision:
"Great Elder, I’ll take my leave now."
Now Jade Qilin Ian seemed a bit excited:
"Are we going to Nine Nether, my lord?"
Lin Yi nodded and said:
"Yes!"
Jade Qilin Ian was thrilled:
"Great!"
"Let’s go!"
At this moment, Jade Qilin suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes brightening:
"I thought of someone,"
"I bet he knows where Aifula is."
Lin Yi:
"Who?"
Jade Qilin, appearing mysterious, said:
"You’ll know when we get there."
"Oh right!"
"You’ve met this person too, my lord..."
