We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

[Yes, Master! ]

Following Shane's order, the Black Swan slowly sailed into the starlight portal.

After breaking through a barrier that is difficult to describe in words.

The world before the eyes of Shane and others has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally deep void disappeared.

The air is filled with a strong natural scent, as if every breath can make people feel the rhythm of life.

"This is... [Elf Secret Realm]?"

Joey's eyes widened, staring at the scene in amazement.

Even though they have already witnessed the magnificence of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].

But every time you come to another secret realm, you will inevitably be impacted by the unique features of different secret realms.

But soon, Shane's expression became a little strange.

He inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu from the scene before him.

The air is full of life, the sky is clear and blue, the forest is lush and green...

The vitality that was almost overflowing around him made him feel somewhat familiar for no reason.

Not only Shane, but other crew members of the Black Swan also showed similar expressions after breathing the air of the Elf Secret Realm for a while.

Xian Ge, who had transformed into a human form, walked up to Xia En and spoke.

"Captain Shane, why does the environment of this [Elf Secret Realm] look so much like... [Rhine Secret Realm]?"

That’s right, based on the observations of Shane and others.

Apart from the three suns in the sky and some buildings vaguely visible above the treetops in the distance.

The [Elf Secret Realm] in front of them is almost identical to the [Rhine Secret Realm]!

How could such a thing not surprise everyone?

Jane had also been to the [Rhine Secret Realm], so she quickly noticed the unusual similarity. She couldn't help but frown and muttered.

"What's going on?"

"How could the [Elf Secret Realm] and the [Rhine Secret Realm] be so similar?"

Shane pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Perhaps, there is some kind of connection between the [Rhine Secret Realm] and the [Elf Secret Realm] that we have not yet known."

He recalled what he saw in the Rhine Secret Realm.

Especially the vibrant forest and rich natural atmosphere, which are almost identical to the [Elf Secret Realm] in front of us.

This similarity is by no means accidental, but rather a deeper connection.

Joey guessed: "Is it possible that the Elf Secret Realm is the Rhine Secret Realm?"

"Just like the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."

"Captain, you thought you were exiled to another [Secret Realm], but in fact, you were just teleported to the back of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."

After thinking about it, Shane said, "We can't rule out this possibility."

"But I am more inclined to believe that these two secret realms exist independently of each other."

"Because, according to the exploration of the Moon Song people, they did not find any traces related to the Elves Secret Realm in the Rhine Secret Realm."

"On the other hand, if this is the [Rhine Secret Realm]."

"As the Lord of the Rhine, I should be able to sense it immediately."

"That's right."

Jane nodded, agreeing with Shane's statement and said.

"I speculate that the [Rhine Secret Realm] and the [Elf Secret Realm] may be twin [Secret Realms]."

"Twin [Secret Realm]?"

Hearing Jane's speculation, Shane raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, the [Rhine Secret Realm] and the [Elf Secret Realm] were originally one, but later split into two independent [Secret Realms] for some reason?"

Jane nodded and explained, "Yes, that's a very real possibility."

"The [Secret Realm] was conceived from the heart of the [Secret Sea Beast]."

"But no one knows whether [Mystic Sea Beast] has only one heart?"

"Perhaps, the same [Mysterious Sea and Sky Beast] gave birth to these two similar secret realms."

Hearing this, Xia En's eyes lit up.

He suddenly remembered that there were also traces of Leila on the Sand Island where the Norwich Treasure was buried.

Maybe, the ability to obtain the heart of the [Mysterious Sea Beast] was also related to Leila.

even……

This may be the clue about the [Elf Secret Realm] that Leila left for him.

However, Shane had not noticed it before.

Instead, he used the simple and crude method of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to enter the [Elf Secret Realm].

After thinking for a moment, Shane said.

"No matter what, the connection between these two [secret realms] still requires us to further explore."

Just then, An suddenly pointed to a forest in the distance and whispered.

"Look, there seems to be something moving there."

Everyone looked in the direction An pointed, and saw a few vague figures moving between the shadows of the trees in the forest in the distance.

The figures were light and agile, as if blending into the forest.

Shane immediately became alert: "It's probably an elf patrol!"

"Everyone be careful."

Although in Shane's impression, the elves in [Giant Wood City] are friendly and peace-loving.

But the elves in the [Elf Secret Realm] have been isolated from the world for too long.

No one knows what their attitude will be towards outsiders now.

The crew members held their breath and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

Not long after, several figures slowly walked out of the forest.

Those are some elves.

They were dressed in light green robes, holding longbows, and watching the Black Swan and everyone on board with vigilant eyes.

They have handsome faces, long pointed ears, fair skin, and exude an aura of being one with nature.

"Outsider?"

"Human?"

The elves were obviously surprised to see the ship floating in the air.

They have settled in this [Elf Secret Land] for thousands of years.

If it weren't for the history passed down from generation to generation.

Many elves have even forgotten that there is a race called "humans" in the world.

So at this moment, when these elves saw the Black Swan and the people on board, they seemed both surprised and alert.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the [Elf Secret Realm]?"

The leading elven warrior asked loudly in the elven language, his alert attitude evident in his words.

Shane took a step forward and answered in the same Elvish language.

"I am Shane, the captain of the Black Swan."

"We have no ill intentions. We are only here to look for clues left by the former Elf Queen, Leila."

"The former Elf Queen Leila?"

The leading elf raised his eyebrows: "Who is that?"

Hearing this, Shane's heart sank.

The situation he was most worried about happened.

Time is the most ruthless thing, it can wash away countless traces of existence.

Obviously, these elves in the [Elf Secret Realm] no longer remember Leila's existence.

Just at this moment.

An on the side hesitated for a moment, but finally took off her helmet, revealing her long silver hair, emerald green eyes, and pointed ears.

Seeing her appearance, the elves were shocked again.

"From the same clan? But..."

And a female elf in the patrol team suddenly said in surprise.

"She looks like a statue in the square!"

The female elf's words attracted the attention of other elves. They all turned their eyes to An, looking at her appearance carefully.

An felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she remained calm and looked back at them with a firm gaze.

"You said she resembled the statue in the temple?"

The leading elven warrior turned and looked at the female elf with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The female elf nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right."

"Especially those eyes. You can't mistake them once you see them."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The leading elf warrior pondered for a moment, then spoke to Shane and the others.

"Wait here first, don't act rashly."

"We need to go back and ask the elders."

Shane nodded to show his understanding: "We won't mess around, please give us an answer as soon as possible."

The elven warriors quickly retreated back to the forest, leaving Shane and the others standing on the deck of the Black Swan, waiting quietly.

"It seems that Leila did leave some traces in the [Elf Secret Realm] after all."

Shane whispered.

As a part of Leila, Ann naturally has the same appearance as her.

And since the elves have seen the statue of Leila, it means that the traces of Leila's existence have not been completely erased.

The thought of finding the clues Leila left behind soon.

Shane's mood was quite complicated.

He was looking forward to this, but also worried that he still wouldn't be able to find Leila in the Secret Sea in the end.

Time passes by every second.

The surrounding forest was still quiet, with only the rustling of the breeze through the treetops.

Finally, there was movement again in the distant forest.

Several figures walked out of the woods, led by an older elf woman.

She was wearing a robe embroidered with intricate patterns and holding a scepter inlaid with gems. Her face was kind yet majestic.

Her eyes swept over Shane and the others, but suddenly stopped on Jane's face.

"You are...Jane Vivian?!"

Jane's body trembled slightly and she looked at the other person in surprise.

At this time, Shane also realized that the elf woman looked 50% similar to Jane.

Jane nodded and said, "I am Jane, you are..."

"It's you, after all."

The older elf woman looked emotional.

"I am your mother's sister, Kunti. You can call me...Aunt."

Jane's pupils contracted slightly, obviously shocked by the sudden news.

She didn't expect that she would meet her mother's relatives first in the [Rhine Secret Realm].

Kunti walked forward, gently held Jane's hand, and spoke softly.

"You look so much like your mother, I recognized you right away."

Jane's throat tightened a little, and she whispered, "My mother...is she okay?"

Kunti's expression dimmed slightly, and he sighed: "Your mother...she is no longer here."

Jane's heart sank, although she had already anticipated it.

But when I heard the news, I still felt an indescribable sadness.

"How did she ..."

Quinti gently patted the back of Jane's hand and comforted her: "She sacrificed herself to protect the [Elf Secret Realm]."

"It was a terrible war and we lost many of our people."

After all, Jane had lived for hundreds of years. After a brief moment of sadness, she adjusted her mood and asked.

"What about my grandmother?"

Kunti replied, “My mother Angie is still alive, but she is now in a dormant state.”

"But this time, maybe... it's a chance to wake her up."

As he said this, Kunti's eyes fell on Shane who was standing beside him.

"Are you Captain Shane?"

Shane nodded and said, "Yes."

"My mother once mentioned your name to me."

Kunti asked, "You are here for the message left by Queen Leila, right?"

"Angie... mentioned me?"

Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised.

He still remembered that when the Emerald Island encountered the Wrath of God, he had helped Angel and other elves escape danger.

However, at that time, he was in the state of [Deep Sea Diving] and was wearing a black robe. Angel should not know his identity.

unless……

Did Leila tell her about this?

Shane's mind was filled with thoughts.

He looked at Kunti and asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Anqi...how did you know me?"

Kunti smiled slightly, with a deep gleam in his eyes.

"Queen Leila left some prophecies before she left."

"Your name is mentioned in it, and you will come to the [Elf Secret Realm]."

"prophecy?"

Shane had a strange expression on his face.

Why does he always seem to encounter these prophecies related to himself?

Kunti continued, "Queen Leila's prophecy mentioned that you will lead us to new hope."

"And my mother Angie, as one of Queen Leila's most trusted people, has been waiting for your arrival."

"She holds many ancient secrets, and to protect them she has chosen to go dormant."

"She will only wake up when she thinks the time is right."

"And now, your arrival may be the opportunity she has been waiting for."

Shane nodded, having already made up his mind.

"So can we go see Ms. Angie now?"

Kunti smiled and said, "Of course."

"But before that, we need to go to the [Elf Temple] first."

"That's where Queen Leila left her prophecy, and it's also where my mother is sleeping."

She turned around and waved to the elven warriors behind her, signaling them to make way.

"plz follow me."

Shane and the others followed Quinti through the dense forest and headed towards the [Elf Temple].

Not long after, everyone arrived at a huge treetop city.

The city is entirely built on a huge ancient tree, whose crown covers the sky like an umbrella.

Countless vines and stairs are entwined around the tree trunks, connecting the various buildings.

This city is similar to the Emerald Holy City that Shane saw on the Emerald Island.

It is a city built on giant trees.

But just as Shane and his group walked into the city.

Suddenly, some elven soldiers hurriedly ran to Quinti.

"Elder Kunti, something bad has happened!"
