Mephilia also quickly caught on. She now had to create an opportunity for Liana. “There’s no helping it then. We in the Lisat Kingdom also have places where others are not allowed to enter. This is a very normal thing. Princess Sephirena has already taken me to many places today, and I am very happy. I’m also a bit tired, so shall we call it a day? I’d like to go rest.”

“Is that so?”

“Princess Sephirena, you don’t need to see me off. With Minoga by my side, I am very safe,” Mephilia said.

If Mephilia hadn’t spoken up, the several elf guards wouldn’t have even noticed that there was another person standing behind her.

They also quickly realized what level of power that person possessed.

“Alright.” Sephirena nodded, watching Mephilia leave.

“Our apologies, Princess Sephirena,” the guard said, lowering her head. The other party was indeed a very important princess.

“It’s alright. After all, it was Sister Nimeris’ order. You did nothing wrong,” Sephirena said.

In any case, given Princess Mephilia and Her Highness Liana’s relationship, as long as Liana finds out, Mephilia will know too.

“Then you have no need to stop us now, do you?” Sephirena asked.

“...Please wait a moment.” The elf guard whistled, and a small bird landed on her shoulder.

She chirped some words to the small bird, the general content of which was to report to Princess Nimeris.

Finally, they received Princess Nimeris’ permission.

“Of course.” The elf guard opened the barrier, allowing the two to walk in.

Liana looked around. The environment here was the same as outside, without much of a difference.

“Princess Mephilia is really able to know what Her Highness Liana is thinking in an instant and help her,” Sephirena remarked with emotion.

“It’s just a very ordinary thing,” Liana said with a laugh.

“Is it?”

“This is something anyone would do in her place, right?” Mephilia didn’t do anything special. If one wanted to learn about the holy sword, this was the most basic step.

Of course, Liana was certainly very happy that Mephilia was able to do this. It was just that there were far too many things about Mephilia that were worthy of praise. Compared to them, this matter was just another normal thing.

“That’s true,” Sephirena nodded.

“Mephilia always puts me first. These are just very ordinary things for her. There are countless things Mephilia has done that are worthy of praise, too many to count.” Liana’s smile was beautiful; it was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart, a smile of true happiness.

Sephirena had seen this kind of smile before. No, it would be better to say she herself had worn such a smile in the past.

“Let’s not talk so much. We’ve almost forgotten our main purpose, and we can’t let Mephilia wait for too long, or she’ll get bored,” Liana said.

Princess Mephilia is always concerned about Her Highness Liana, but isn’t Her Highness Liana the same way?

Sephirena was a little envious of their relationship.

“Which way now?” Sephirena asked.

This area was not large; one could see the general layout with a single glance.

Liana turned left and right and arrived before a mountain wall.

“We can’t go any further...”

“Hm?” Sephirena was a little confused. “Do we need to cross this mountain?”

Liana shook her head. “If I remember correctly, it should be just a few meters ahead.”

“...” Sephirena fell silent.

“What’s wrong? It’s only a distance of a few meters. That shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?” Forget a few meters; if she were willing, even moving this mountain would not be a particularly difficult task.

“Your Highness Liana, the reason this place became a Forbidden Land is because of this mountain,” Sephirena said.

“Because of this mountain?” Liana was a little confused.

“This mountain was born at the same time as Mother Tree of Life. It has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it is what suppressed the demon race and sealed them away,” Sephirena said.

“So that’s why it became a Forbidden Land?”

Sephirena shook her head. “Quite the opposite. It was precisely after learning of this that this place was unsealed from being a Forbidden Land.”

“Hm?” This made Liana even more confused.

Shouldn’t something so important as suppressing demons be classified as even more of a Forbidden Land?

“Initially, the reason it was classified as a Forbidden Land was that this place was filled with dead and withered plants. For us elves, this is a very abnormal thing. Moreover, this place also emanated an ominous aura. We elves are very sensitive to mana, but after coming here, the mana in our bodies would become sluggish. That is why we regarded it as a Forbidden Land,” Sephirena said.

If it was as Sephirena said, classifying it as a Forbidden Land was a very /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ normal thing to do; after all, it was too dangerous.

But looking at it now, it was very different from what Sephirena had described. It looked no different from any other part of the Elf Forest.

After coming to this place, Liana could also feel the recovery speed of her mana quicken; it was nothing like the feeling she had on the road.

“It looks a little different from what you described now.”

“It’s normal for Your Highness Liana to have such doubts now.” Sephirena explained, “Didn’t I tell you before? We elves were not very convinced about the matters of the demon race, so we naturally did not think of this.

“What happened next is what I told you before. Someone pointed out the matter of demonkind and told us about it, which is how we realized that this was not an ominous place, but a Holy Land that protects our Elf Forest.

“The reason it has become like this now is because we have been constantly maintaining this place during this time, and it has only slowly begun to improve.”

So that’s how it was?

Were they deceived like this? Or did she deliberately come here because she knew the demons were here? Liana didn’t know, and it wasn’t important.

Because before Liana came to this world, Nimeris had already been colluding with the demons.

Then it was understandable what Princess Nimeris was doing now.

She was naturally not worried that the matter of the demons would be exposed; after all, it had already been confirmed here. The only thing she was worried about was the matter of the holy sword.

After all, she was now on the side of the demons, so she naturally did not wish for the holy sword to reappear in this world.

“So now, is there no way?” Liana’s hand touched the mountain wall.
