"Elder!" The goblin shouted and hugged Ross. Ross took the goblin and listened to the goblins who stayed by the spring. Then he looked up at the rock pillar again.

"Hmm... so the huge rock pillar suddenly appeared, right?" Ross's question was nodded by the goblins.

It really hadn't happened before. From this point of view alone, it was indeed chilling, but Ross felt that the current scene seemed extremely reasonable, as if the rock pillar was supposed to exist.

(I do feel a strong magical power on that pillar. It is like a small altar. It suddenly appeared. There seems to be a reason... Could it be!)

The image that came to Rhodes' mind was a young boy wearing a turban.

Judging from the timing, it seems to be related to this miraculous event. If it came from another world, then such a strange event is understandable in a sense. There is another possible factor.

(Ku's transformation. This is also a very likely reason. When the transformation ability is activated, there is a huge fluctuation of magic power. If that is the cause of this situation...)

The feasible possibilities were reduced to two. As a result, Ross's next move was quickly decided: "You, go to the temple and tell them!"

Ross ordered the nearby fairies to report the changes that occurred at the spring to Eugrias in the temple, and to bring the human boy and Lati (Ku) there to the spring.

He specifically instructed that only the boy and Lati (Ku) be brought back, and urged the fairies to act quickly. Ross promised to explain in detail to the surprised fairies later.

"What on earth is that?" Ross muttered with a grim expression as he looked up at the rock pillar.

————————————————————————

It was almost dusk in the forest, and it was as dark as ever but even cooler. In such an environment, Xu Zhen, Lati, and a large group of fairies were struggling to move forward towards the Fairy Spring.

When the fairy arrived at the temple, Eugrias immediately realized that something bad had happened. The moment he heard the explanation, the fairies around him showed uneasy expressions on their faces.

Considering the timing of the stone pillar suddenly appearing in the Fairy Spring, Xu Zhen speculated that this might be related to Lati's transformation ability. Euglias also thought this was very likely and asked them to go to the spring again.

According to Roz's instructions, Slakić and Lopul were handed over to Alicia to stay outside. Roz had instructed that no outsiders should be allowed to enter the spring at will.

(It seems incredible that goblins are wary of humans.)

Xu Zhen thought while looking at the goblins.

He never thought that he would become one with the fairies in the forest so quickly. He thought that most people would react like Ross, and he was even prepared to be hostile to all the fairies in the spring land and to be driven back to his hometown unconditionally.

However, this expectation was subverted. It was confusing and almost overwhelming.

Is this because I am a monster user? Or do I have a special quality that makes me particularly popular with fairies?

Xu Zhen believed quite seriously that this possibility existed.

“Are there many goblins in the spring?”

“Yes. It used to be very lively.”

Lati's answer made Xu Zhen look surprised.

"Really? I heard it was a rare monster, but I thought there were only a few of them."

"Not really. There are quite a lot of fairies in the spring alone."

"Oh——" Xu Zhen nodded with interest, not realizing that there were other meanings in the words.

"By the way, haven't we reached the spring yet? It feels like we've walked quite a distance."

“We’re almost there. Please try not to stray too far from us. Otherwise you might get bounced off the barrier.”

There is a barrier around the Fairy Spring that does not allow easy entry, so according to the memory of the fairies, no adventurer has been able to enter so far.

This barrier is made up of special magical power. Several wizards have tried to break it in the past, but they all failed without exception.

It is said that this type of magic is different from that of humans and is almost impossible to break. Ross confidently asserted this, and in fact, this barrier has not been broken so far, and his confidence is obviously well-founded.

After walking for a while, Xu Zhen and his friends suddenly came to an open area, and a cave appeared before their eyes. Led by the fairies, Xu Zhen and his friends went deep into the cave. It was surprisingly spacious, enough for an adult to pass through normally.

"This is my hometown that I haven't been to for a long time. I really miss it." Lati said excitedly, while Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and revealed a fact: "Even so, Lati, you were almost driven out."

"Well - that's something that's better not to mention, Master!" Lati puffed up her cheeks and cutely expressed her dissatisfaction to Xu Zhen. The fairies who were traveling with her looked at this scene and smiled.

One of the fairies said with tears in her eyes like a mother: "That's great, be happy." Although people around her said "that's exaggerated" with disgust, the fairy was so moved that she didn't notice the complaints.

Then, the depths of the cave began to lighten, and when they reached that place, they came to a large place with a mysterious atmosphere.

"This is so spectacular." Xu Zhen murmured in amazement.

There is more than just a beautiful spring here. The interior of the cave is incredibly rich in natural scenery, with a large spring in the center. The particle-like blue-white light floating in the air adds to the mystery of the spring.

Small houses that looked like residences were dotted on the surrounding trees, and goblins could be seen coming in and out. The most eye-catching thing was the towering stone pillar in the center of the spring.

"Young man, welcome here. This is the spring where we fairies live." Ross said in a heavy tone. The fairies who had been waiting in the spring also noticed the arrival of Xu Zhen and Lati (Ku).

The goblins' cheerful voices came from behind Ross. Ku is back. She is safe. I always believed she was still alive. Who was that human? Maybe he was the bad guy who kidnapped Ku. But it didn't seem like that.

Facing the goblins' words, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and asked Ross: "Is that rock like this?"

"Exactly. It suddenly appeared in that place just now." Ross took a deep breath and turned to look at the stone pillar: "It was like this after it appeared. There was no special reaction and it did not cause any harm. By the way, the cause is still unknown..."
