Chapter 691 - 384: The Gardener Elf’s Paradise (2-in-1)

With a little elf’s surprised cry.

She was pulled out of the Black Tide by Rogel with one hand.

The little elf was initially frightened, but upon seeing the familiar face and scent of the person who grabbed her, her cheeks immediately puffed up in annoyance.

"It’s you! Big! Bad! Guy!"

"Why did you suddenly grab Iya and bring me here! I haven’t even finished my cake yet, you scared me to death, you’re so annoying!"

Iya flew angrily to Rogel’s cheek, pounding on his face.

Of course, this had no attack power.

Rogel remained indifferent, extending his index finger to gently push her back, turning her to face forward: "Stop it, look ahead."

"Look at what? Next time you do this, Iya will definitely beat you, you big baddie! Hear me? Hmph!"

Iya stood with her hands on her hips, warning fiercely.

Of course, she also glanced ahead, checking the direction Rogel was indicating.

"Huh?"

However, as soon as she looked, she was suddenly stunned.

Although she wasn’t great in combat abilities, her strength wasn’t weak, and her perception was naturally not bad either.

Iya could clearly see that on this flower-blooming island, the bright little lights were tiny figures flying around with small lanterns in the air.

And these little figures looked almost identical to her initial appearance.

They... were all gardener elves!

This Flower Lake turned out to be a remaining habitat of gardener elves!

"Let’s go in and take a look."

Rogel showed a faint smile, then slowly flew into the island with the somewhat dazed Iya.

He didn’t use any mysterious power to conceal himself, so it wasn’t long after they entered the island that they were discovered by a patrolling gardener elf.

"Hmmm..." Holding a pink petal lantern in her hand, the patrolling elf flapped her wings, stretched out a little hand, and yawned, feeling quite sleepy.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing Iya and Rogel, she immediately perked up and accelerated towards them.

"Hey? Who are you? I’ve never seen you before?" a little elf holding a petal lantern flew up to Iya curiously inquiring: "Who’s this big guy next to you? He’s so big! I’ve never seen an elf like him before!"

The little elf said, curiously circling around Rogel.

Rogel didn’t speak, shaking his head internally, these little elves living isolated in Flower Lake seemed to have no sense of vigilance.

"I’m Iya, and he’s the big baddie, where is this place?"

Iya, unafraid, asked curiously.

"Iya? What a strange name..." The little elf couldn’t help but chuckle.

The name Iya sounded like their vocalizations, similar to a dog naming itself Woof Woof.

But she didn’t mind too much, and instead, was curious: "This is Flower Lake, our home is here..."

She scratched her head and suddenly realized: "Oh~ so you’re not from Flower Lake?"

At this point, she widened her eyes in surprise: "Did you come from outside the mist?!"

Iya blinked and said nothing, she was actually brought here by Rogel.

"Yes, we came here through the mist," Rogel nodded for Iya and said.

"Wow! That’s amazing! We don’t dare to enter the mist easily, it’s so dangerous inside..." The lamp gnome exclaimed when hearing this.

"Uh... wait a minute..." Suddenly, she realized that as a night patrol elf, she should notify others in such a situation...

"Wait here, I’ll go find Sister Huahua."

With that, she hurriedly flew away.

"Silly, just like you."

Rogel looked at Iya and laughed.

Iya immediately puffed up again, shouting: "What are you saying, big baddie, Iya is not silly! Iya is much smarter than her!"

"Alright, alright, you’re the smartest, you’re the cleverest little elf..."

Rogel chuckled, shaking his head.

Then he said, "Now that we’ve found your kin, aren’t you happy?"

Upon hearing this, Iya thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Iya is very happy, they have a familiar aura that makes Iya feel close."

Rogel smiled at this and said nothing more.

Not long after, the patrolling little elf brought a group of gardener elves who looked obviously more mature and steady.

The leading gardener elf looked quite regal, carefully sizing up Rogel and Iya with serious eyes.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Flower Lake?"

She was probably the "Sister Huahua" referred to by the patrol elf, or perhaps she could also be called the clan leader of the gardener elves.

"My name is Rogel, you could see me as a traveler."

"This is Iya, she’s my good friend. We met on an island outside and traveled together for a long time."

Hearing Rogel call her "good friend," Iya couldn’t help but puff out her chest, her mouth corners couldn’t help but lift.

Rogel smiled and spoke: "As for the purpose... there’s none really, I merely stumbled upon this place while crossing the boundary mist, I hope you don’t misunderstand."

He explained his arrival.

He hadn’t been specifically searching for Flower Lake, after all, he never thought he’d stumble upon a surviving community of gardener elves in the boundary mist.

Therefore, he really had no purpose in coming here, he just saw a community of gardener elves that looked exactly like Iya and thought of bringing her to take a look.
