Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

A shower of rock element photoparticles fell from the ground.

“Miss Traveler?” Navelette sensed intense anger.

“I… am often angry and in pain because of my own incompetence and weakness.”

"But this anger was quickly suppressed by life."

"I am just an ordinary person, and all I can do is watch the suffering happen before my eyes."

"It takes courage to be a hero, but the older I get, the further away that courage seems to drift from me."

"I cannot bear the consequences of being a hero."

"Perhaps one can find some comfort and release in games."

"However, in reality, I am still powerless to change anything."

"Keeping oneself in one's own good is the way of survival for ordinary people."

"Now, it seems that all that pent-up anger is allowed to be released, and I am not powerless in this world."

The traveler was talking to himself, as if his body had been possessed, or perhaps it was the voice of his soul.

"What?" Navelette was completely bewildered. Too many things he had never experienced before appeared in his mind, and he could not distinguish them one by one.

"Don't worry about it, he's just talking to himself."

The traveler stared at the resident before him and said, word by word, "Let her go, or you will regret everything you have done today."

bang-

A resident dropped the weapon he was holding.

"This is elemental power. Could she be the possessor of the Eye of God?"

"Should I go first..."

They were simply afraid; they felt no remorse whatsoever.

"I'm not afraid of you. We Fontaines will never compromise with foreign races." A stubborn young man gripped his weapon tightly.

Dust rose from the ground, and a rock spear landed at his feet with a deafening crash.

The young man immediately changed his tune: "I'll let you go today..." He threw down the weapon he had been holding and ran away first.

"Hey, wait for us!" The others followed and left.

"Are you alright?!" The traveler rushed over to check the wounds on Melusin's body, who had been captured.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Miss Traveler!" Melusin pretended to be nonchalant, but the next second her bleeding wound made her wince in pain.

Elemental power seems to be able to heal wounds as well.

How do we do this?

Imagine what a wound looks like when it heals?

Try it first.

The traveler closed his eyes, and condensed elemental particles covered Melushin's wounds.

"Wow..." Melusin couldn't believe her eyes; all the wounds on her body had disappeared.

"Did it work?" The traveler hadn't expected the first attempt to go so smoothly.

"Miss Traveler, you are amazing!" Melishin was full of admiration for the Traveler.

"Hehe, it's good that you're alright." The traveler, still unaccustomed to being fawned over, chuckled awkwardly.

"Miss Traveler, have you seen the Water God?" Melusin asked.

"No. We rushed back after learning that the Fontaines were going to attack Melusin. By the way, I have a question for you. What's your name..."

"My name is Huo Meilin, and I haven't formally introduced myself yet."

"By the way, what is the medicine you gave to humans to cure the plague? Why can it cure the plague of the Fontainebleau people?"

“Oh, you mean the Radiant Seaweed.” Melusin pulled a peculiar plant out of her pocket.

"Is it it? How do you know it can cure diseases?"

"The waters near the village have been polluted, and the color of the water has changed. Only the water near the Cleansing Algae has not changed."

“One day we found a man who had collapsed outside the village. He told us that he had accidentally drunk contaminated water. We thought we could try giving him some clean seaweed. And it worked.”

"After that, more and more people came to our village looking for seaweed, and we shared all the clean seaweed we could find with them."

"One day, a healthy person came and wanted to buy all the seaweed. But the cleansing seaweed grows very slowly, and we couldn't provide him with so much. He said we were deliberately withholding the life-saving medicine from him..."

"It's all a misunderstanding. Once I explain, the humans will understand. Miss Traveler, could you take me to Fontaine?"

The traveler shook his head: "They probably don't want to hear your explanations anymore."

"What should we do, Miss Traveler?" Holmes asked, trembling with worry.

"The only one who can help you is probably the Water Goddess. The people of Fontainebleau will only listen to her."

The water god has disappeared...

The approaching sound of horses' hooves interrupted the traveler's thoughts.

“It’s Fontaine’s army. Homelin, tell all the Melusin in the village to leave immediately,” Navelette instructed.

"Okay! But..."

"We should try to communicate with the people of Fontainebleau. Perhaps it will be more effective for humans to communicate with them," the traveler comforted her.

"Then... be careful!"

"Yes!" the traveler and Navelette said in unison.

Hearing their affirmation, Meilu Xin, whose name was Huo Meilin, left.

The traveler and Navelette turned toward the Fontaine cavalry.

"What are your plans, Miss Traveler?" Navelette asked.

"First, build a defensive wall." The traveler gathered his strength in his chest.

A rock wall, fifty meters high, five kilometers long, and about three hundred meters thick, broke through the ground, blocking the Fontaine cavalry's only way through.

The shadow of the colossal creature loomed over the entire cavalry regiment.

"what is that!"

"Does the possessor of the Eye of God have such power?"

"Could that be a demon god up ahead...?"

The lead cavalryman ordered the troops to stop.

There were only two people in front of them, but neither dared to act rashly.

woohoo...

The traveler tried to calm his violently heaving chest.

It seems we've gone too far; trying to change the landscape like some old man is still too much of a stretch.

“Traveler, step back.” Navilette blocked her way.

No, I can't hide behind anyone anymore.

We must grit our teeth and persevere.

“Whom are you directing, Vilette?” the traveler asked as he approached him.

Even though there is still a gap between him and me.

But that gap is gradually narrowing.

The thing I should change most is my habit of hiding behind others.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke." Navelette had no intention of belittling the traveler; he was simply worried about the traveler's health.

She hadn't had a proper rest or a meal in a long time.

"It's alright, one day I'll make you say—Miss Traveler, please save me. Hehe." The traveler knew he must think she was really angry.

Wooden Water Dragon King, tsk tsk.

“Traveler, it is an honor to travel with you. Although this journey is not long…” His expressionless face made it impossible for the traveler to discern his emotions.

"What kind of talk is this? Is it a dying wish? Don't make promises you can't keep! It's bad luck!" His words broke the traveler's guard.

I hate people who talk about life and death all the time!

"Oh, sorry, I misspoke again." He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry!" the traveler hurriedly waved his hand.

“Shadow Hunter, Haroni Mune.” The tall man wearing the Eye of the Fire Elemental jumped off his horse.

"Shadow Hunter, Meryl Salivia." The woman, clad in armor and wearing the Eye of the Ice Element, raised her spear.

"Shadow Hunter, Ciel Marini." The gentleman wearing the Eye of the Grass Element bowed.

"Shadow Hunter, Tobado Sanchebnin. We, on behalf of all the people of Fontaine, declare war on you." An old man with a white beard, wearing the Eye of the Rock Elemental and wielding a heavy hammer, stepped to the front of the group and pointed his weapon at the traveler.
