Asher continued to rack his brain, trying to find a way to save the fairy elder, but after several minutes of wrestling with his mind, Asher didn't find any answers. Darn it. His chest instantly felt tight, realizing that there was nothing he could do now.
Instantly the atmosphere became silent, it seemed that there was no longer any hope for the fairy elder to live. Shortly after, a blue light quickly shot towards Asher and Chonos, revealing itself to be Persea. She seemed to have finished putting out the fire that burned the village of Altaria and caught up with Asher and Chronos.
"Hey, why are your faces so gloomy?" Persea furrowed her brows at the expression on the two's faces. "Oh my god, what happened to the fairy elders?" Persea's eyeballs widened with a look of disbelief drawn on her face.
"We...we don't know what happened to her. I've tried casting my healing spells, but there's no effect at all." Asher let out a long breath, a look of frustration on his face.
"Wait, let me check." Persea immediately flew over to the fairy elder, trying to get a better look. "It looks like the fairy elder got a curse from the orc king's weapon." She slowly shook her head, a look of frustration on her face. "She slowly shook her head, a grim look on her face.
"So, can't we cure the curse? "The look on Chronos' face showed strong curiosity.
"It's possible, but we have to go to Malana village. The fairy village there is famous for the fairies' expertise in making potions to cure all sorts of curses." Persea nodded her head, a serious look on her face.
Hearing Persea's words, a flash of hope immediately appeared in his mind. It turned out that he could still save the fairy elders. His depression and despair slowly dissipated, making him re-energized to help the fairy elders.
"But, we don't have much time. We must hurry." The fairy elders' pulse is getting weaker and weaker." Persea's face tightened, her face showing a glimpse of fear.
"Quest 8: Rescue of Fairy Elder Altaria (required)"

The curse from the orc weapon is increasingly spreading in the fairy elder's body. They must bring him to Malana village to get help as soon as possible. However, they had to pass through an elf swamp that was famous for its blood-sucking beasts that often attacked anyone who passed through this swamp.
Asher had no idea what the bloodsucking creature was, could it be a fish-like creature with sharp fangs? Who knows, but Asher didn't care much about it and was more focused on saving the fairy elder's life.
'Time remaining 59:58'
"Uh, wait a minute. what does this time mean?" Chronos scratched his head, a confused look on his face.
"This is the time left to save the fairy elders. If time runs out, the elders will die!" Persea's blue eyeballs dilated for a moment, showing that there was fear on her face. "Come on, come on now we have to rush to the fairy swamp, time is running out." She pulled Chronos and Asher's hands, her face continuing to tighten.
Without stopping for long, they immediately accelerated their footsteps until they reached the fairy swamp. However, Persea's face immediately stiffened, something crossed her mind when she saw the many fish carcasses floating near the edge of the swamp. There was something strange about the fairy swamp. She immediately flew closer to the edge of the swamp, making sure her words were correct.
"Oh my, my guess is right. Someone has poisoned this swamp. This is bad, we need to move fast." Persea tugged at her hair, a glum look on her face.
" Shit, who's the crazy person who is doing all this? What should we do now?" Chronos grumbled, his foot immediately kicking a small rock nearby.
"Hey, Chronos calm down. I'm sure we can find a way through this swamp." Asher patted Chronos on the shoulder, trying to calm his friend's anger.
'Time remaining: 40:30'
"Shit! Shit! We've been here almost 19 minutes and we got nothing!" Chronos grumbled, his temper starting to peak
"Hey, stop complaining and keep looking!"Persea furrowed her brows, a look of displeasure on Chronos' face that sounded harsh.
"What do you mean, weird blue fairy? I've been looking all this time, and I don't see anything. " Chronos looked at Persea with a sharp gaze, a look of displeasure on his face.
"A freak? Just look at yourself, you're the one babbling like a girl and you call me a freak?" Persea laughed mockingly, a look of annoyance on her face.
Instantly, the atmosphere between them escalated. The two of them exchanged harsh words and insults like children fighting over a toy. Asher, who had remained silent at first, immediately felt heat rush to the top of his head and became furious.
"Stop it! Both of you, stop!" Asher shouted loud enough to make Chornos and Persea instantly fall silent. "You know the elders' lives are in danger and you're still clinging to your egos?" Asher's face instantly reddened, his jaw looking stern
"I'm sorry. We... we know Asher." Persea looked down, trying to cover her face.
"I'm sorry, Asher. I got carried away too easily." Chronos let out a long sigh, a look of regret on his face.
"Never mind, I don't want to discuss this. Now we focus on finding a way to get past this lake." Asher sighed, a calm look on his face.
After a few moments of searching, Persea suddenly stopped for a moment. Something caught her eye, but the wild grass blocked her view, making her fly higher, confirming what she saw.
"Persea, what's wrong?" Asher furrowed his brows, a curious look on his face.
"I think I saw something. I'll be right back" Persea immediately darted away leaving Asher and Chronos behind.
"Ugh, where did Persea go?" Chronos furrowed his brow, trying to figure out where Persea was.
"I don't know, but we should probably wait for her." Asher sighed, trying to remain calm.
Not long after, Persea quickly flew like an arrow towards them. But there was something strange about her. Her face looked happier than before. Strange. Was it possible that Persea had discovered something?
"Hey, follow me. I want to show you something." Persea pulled Asher and Chronos by the hand, she smiled widely.
The two of them finally followed Persea's directions. At first, Asher was skeptical of Persea's words. In front of him was only a collection of tall, towering grasses, nothing else, but fortunately, Asher continued to listen to Persea's words and suddenly his eyes caught something.
"Wait a minute, is that a ship?" Asher rounded his eyes, a happy expression on his face.
