Vielsia closed her eyes, and with her hands crossed and placed on her chest, a green glow emanated, and a scroll began to float slowly out of the elf's body, spinning gently.
Reji looked at the scroll, and instead of complex and cryptic symbols or incantations, he saw a series of images similar to a landscape painting.
As Vielsia continued her gestures, the scroll unfurled before Reji like a 3D projection, and the mountains, rivers, and land depicted on the scroll transformed into a lifelike miniature world.
Then, with another wave of Vielsia's hand, the scroll began to roll up again, and the projected world above it seemed to be rolled up as well, disappearing one by one.
Vielsia's demonstration was over.
This was the sealing technique that the elves had painstakingly researched to seal the Demon Race.
"It's like a two-way mirror, isn't it?"
Vielsia looked confused. "What are you saying, Teacher Reji?"
"Nothing, I just understand the principle of your sealing technique now. It's like sealing the Demon Race into your painting, right?"
Seeing the elf girl nod, Reji felt a chill run down his spine.
'Heh'
'That's harsh.'
'It's like compressing the Demon Race from a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional one'
"According to our plan, we will take advantage of the moment when the Demon Race is preparing to descend but has not yet completely broken through the Chaos Rift. Using the passage of the Chaos Rift, we will cast the scroll's seal into it, thus capturing all the demons in one fell swoop."
After listening to Vielsia's explanation, Reji nodded.
The Chaos Rift was an independent black box outside the world.
Whether the Demon Race wanted to escape or the elves outside wanted to seal the Demon Race, they would have to wait for a gap in this black box.
No wonder Vielsia and the others chose this moment.
"Earlier, you mentioned that you wanted my help. Does that mean that with the elves' current strength, you still can't use this sealing scroll?"
At Reji's question, Vielsia looked dejected and lowered her head.
"Yes, Teacher Reji, the roots of the spell ritual on this scroll do not originate from our elven clan. Instead, they were discovered by our ancestors through studying the Son of Destiny from a thousand years ago, and it is a spatial spell."
"Discovered... Son of Destiny? Spatial spell?"
This information from Vielsia surprised Reji.
As the Son of Destiny from a thousand years ago, how could he not remember having such a powerful "two-way mirror"?
'Wait!? Hold on!'
Reji suddenly realized that he had fallen into a cognitive trap.
The elves' research was not necessarily about his abilities.
It could be... Game system functions!?
And when he thought of a function similar to a "two-way mirror" combined with the keyword "spatial spell," Reji immediately thought of a game function.
Home Realm!
The Home Realm system was an external function, so Reji did not inherit it when he crossed over, which he found quite a pity when he checked the system.
Simply put, the Home Realm was a function similar to a "mini-world in a pocket." Its physical form could be a scroll, a gourd, a handbag, etc., and its appearance was up to the player's preference and did not matter.
In the game, Reji had shaped the appearance of his Home Realm into something like a Pok Ball.
This was a bit twisted.
Because the main purpose of the Home Realm was to store companions. As mentioned earlier when building relationships, placing new characters in the Home Realm and not visiting them would still slowly increase their affection over time. (Hail: Think of it like Genshin tea pot)
This was quite common in many games, and many players who were enthusiastic about their Home Realms would make the interiors incredibly beautiful with various landscapes. But Reji was the kind of person who casually placed all sorts of luxurious furniture in his Home Realm without much thought.
But... in the end, Vielsia found herself thinking absurd and laughable thoughts.
Laughing at how stupid this Demon King was.
After giving the scroll to Reji, nothing happened. From Vielsia's perspective, Reji carefully examined the scroll for a while before returning it to her.
'See? If Teacher Reji had any ill intentions, would he have returned it? He would just steal it and kill me'
After Reji obtained the scroll, an item panel appeared, displaying:
[Sealing Scroll (Replica)]
'Hmm. As I expected'
'It seemed that the Great Elder of the Elven race was well aware of the princess's nature and had left a backup plan.'
'In that case...'
"How is it, Teacher Reji? Do you have any clues?" Vielsia asked eagerly.
"I have some, but I need time to study it carefully. If I could have some more elves come to assist, it would probably be faster."
"Ah! Really!!" Hearing that Reji had some clues and might be able to use the sealing scroll, Vielsia was incredibly excited.
The current situation was that the Demon Race was showing signs of descending, and they needed to act quickly.
So, to speed up Reji's research... "No problem!"
"I'll write to the Great Elders right away! Teacher, rest assured, the Great Elders are just outside the Royal City in the church area, they'll be here very soon!"
Reji nodded.
'So, they were just outside the Royal City? That would save me some trouble'
"Thank you, Vielsia." Reji expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Soon, under the princess communication magic, the letter turned into a small bird, which Vielsia released from the window, flying into the dark night sky.
This small bird, filled with the hopes ofVielsia's expectations, soared in the night sky and flew out of the Royal City.
The small bird arrived at a forest in the suburbs, reaching a very secretive area that seemed perfectly ordinary from the outside. As it descended, it saw the barrier of the Elven race.
If it entered the barrier, the small bird would have completed its mission, but...
*Swish!*
Unfortunately.
A shadow claw appeared from the void, grasping the small bird. Despite its struggles, it could not reach the barrier.
Shermen's petite figure floated in the air, moonlight shining on her Shadow Demon cloak, revealing a few cold, expressionless features on her face beneath the shadow.
She activated a communication ritual.
"My King, I've confirmed the location of the other elves."
-Inside the Arcane Academy in Ilinor.
Reji bid farewell to Vielsia, assuring her that he was fine and politely declining the elf's offer to take care of him further. He walked out.
After completely leaving Vielsia's line of sight, Reji stopped.
He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the full moon above.
After pausing for a few seconds, Reji no longer hesitated. He turned and entered the shadow, arriving at Shermen's side through the shadow tunnel she left for him.
He arrived at... the headquarters where the other elves were hiding, above the forest barrier.
"Send a message to Dian, Eileen, and Eris. Tell the three apostles to drop everything they're doing and gather here in one minute. Surround this place completely."
"As you wish, My King."
