The two men looked at me closely, as if skinning every inch of my body, I felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that.
"Where am I? And who are you?" I asked while looking at the tall old man.
"I?"
"You can call me Elder Chen, little girl don't worry, you are in my private residence. Although it can't be said that this place belongs to the Phoenix Academy, my residence still belongs to the Phoenix academy area in downtown Phyloni,"
replied the old man who stood beside Huang Bao.
"May we know what is your name?" the man asked me again.
"Fu Xie Lan," I said in reply. Yes, I've decided to use the name Fu Xie Lan when I was in the old hut north of the forbidden forest.
"Alright little Xie Lan, for a while you rest first. The bathroom is over there if you want to take a shower, there are some clothes in the wardrobe and on the table I have prepared food," he said kindly, pointing to the things he meant.
"We'll say goodbye first, if you need anything use the shells to signal me," he added as he pulled Elder Huang Bao's wrist out of the room.
"Shells? What do they mean?"
"Oh never mind, I better clean my body."
I didn't really think about what Elder Chen said, and immediately went up to clean my body.
Author POV
walking away from the room Fu Xie Lan was in, Elder Chen let go of Elder Huang Bao's wrist, stopped walking and then looked at the short man, like a wife who wants an explanation to her husband.
"What?" Elder Huang Bao asked as if he didn't know anything.
"Quick, tell me."
"What?" Elder Bao replied, pretending not to know what Elder Chen meant.
"Hhh…" Elder Chen rolled his eyes.
"That ... the symbol that appeared all over the little girl's body earlier, is that what you are hiding from me?"
"Is that symbol image you are looking for?" Elder Chen added again.
"Yes and no, hehehe I'm really not good at hiding anything from you," replied Elder Bao while scratching his nape which was not itchy.
Elder Chen's brows furrowed deeply, confused by the answer of the short old man who was standing in front of him.
"You saw it yourself earlier, it is true that I was looking for the meaning of the symbol on the girl's forehead, but different from the symbol that filled her whole body, I just saw that symbol," said Elder Bao
"But one thing is for sure, that girl doesn't know anything about herself," added Elder Bao again.
"Huh? Why do you think that?"
"The first time I met her, she was a human,"
"Hahh .. don't joke, she's a fairy. There is no human scent at all from her body, "replied Elder Chen, feeling incredulous at Elder Bao's words.
"I'm pretty sure, but can't be clear about it, do you remember the night I brought that girl here?" asked Elder Bao
"Yes, she is unconscious," replied Elder Chen
"I made her lose consciousness after forcing her to swallow the scent pills," said elder bao, and went back to telling all the things that happened before and after meeting Fu Xie Lan in the forbidden forest until he brought her to Elder Chen's residence.
Aroma pills were pills that could disguise the scent of all beings.
"Hmmm ... I see. Alright, follow me!" said Elder Chen stepping leading the way to a room that Elder Bao knew was Elder Chen's private room.
When they entered the room, Elder Chen then walked over to the bookshelf in the corner of the room, moving his hand to touch one of the books. The shelf where the book he touched was moving slowly then turning around to form an angle of
180 °, and at the same time revealing a hidden room behind the shelf.
Elder Chen then created a small glow from his life energy concentrated in his palm, and suddenly revealed a small, empty room
Entering the room, the bookshelf that previously served as a connecting door with the room returned to its original position.
Elder Chen then made a circular motion like he was drawing something on the floor while chanting a few incantations, then his body straightened up again. Was silent for a moment.
Suddenly a circular light with various kinds of runes appeared on the floor, forcing the pupils to squint from the glare, then dimming again.
Elder Huang Bao who sensed that the light had dimmed, blinked his eyes, looked around and found himself in a very large room, a room very different from before, filled with thick books that were neatly arranged on a row of shelves. Not only books, several magic items that he had not seen for a long time now lined up beautifully lined the glass cabinet.
"This?" he said spontaneously looking at Elder Chen
"Welcome to Zolyrous," a voice suddenly reached Elder Bao's ears.
Searching for the origin of the sound, but not finding its owner made the old man's eyebrows knit together in confusion.
Zolyrous is a secret library belonging to the magician race (Wizard), a place where one can obtain unlimited information and magic items that can strengthen one's magic.
Zolyrous is known to have disappeared since that person chose to sacrifice herself in the incident 700 years ago.
Yes, the person referred to by 'that person' is her, Queen Yu Yi.
