Nameless King

Chapter 365 The Vanished Forest

Wain left Virfal and visited his Void, the Forest of Frozen Dreams. The auction was still a day and a half away, and Wain wanted to accumulate enough Void Souls to buy something of value.

He had almost thirty thousand Void Souls, but Wain didn't think it was enough. His main goal so far was to increase his blood purity, and for that, he needed to get a high ranking Bloodstone.

Wain was going to go to the arenas and fight in them for half a day and then go to Nord, but before that, he went to the woods, to Reto.

As always, Reto was in his castle, drinking red wine and enjoying the beautiful views. He was, by nature, a rather quiet, cunning, and lazy man. Reto preferred to rest and immerse himself in thoughts than to trouble himself with training. In part, he could afford it because of the unusual attribute.

"I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?" Reto said, looking at Wain walking in his direction.

"Not bad, the last few days have been eventful, and I don't have a day to take a break."

"Huh, you make too many plans. Sometimes you need a little relaxation to get your thoughts in order and figure out what's the best direction to go in."

"You may be right, but you definitely abuse it. You're always relaxing."

"Don't be so harsh, the forest, the monsters, and the Dark Elves are evolving. Isn't that enough to show that I'm not a bad ruler of these lands?"

"If there were no Elegan, all the territories would have fallen apart long ago, so don't flatter yourself."

Reto smiled and took the bottle of wine in his hands, "Shall I pour you one?"

"Yes."

Reto filled two glasses and took a sip, enjoying the taste and aroma.

"Did you come to see me on business, or did you just want my company?"

"I want to ask you something. You are a Dark Elf, and I hope you can answer my question."

"Of course, I'm listening to you carefully."

"I need to find the Forgotten Forest of Elves. Do you know anything about it?" Wain asked seriously.

Reto was surprised, and his eyes went wide.

"The Forgotten Forest... Do you need to get there?"

"Yes."

"I see, unfortunately, I think it's impossible."

"What? Why?"

"The Forgotten Forest is a famous place in Elf culture, it is something of a great tomb where the lost souls of the great Elves reside. They are like ghosts wandering there. It used to be possible to get there with enough authority, but the Forgotten Forest disappeared."

"What happened?"

"No one knows. It happened too long ago, and so many of the current Elves treat the Forgotten Forest as an interesting story and nothing more. I do not know how to help you. If the Forgotten Forest has not been destroyed, then it is in some space, but so far, no one has been able to find a way." Reto muttered.

The Dark Elves and the Elves did not get along with each other, but in many ways, they shared culture, and Reto had heard of the Forgotten Forest many times. He even tried to go there once, but it didn't work out.

"Aren't there any ways? Maybe you know some legends or dubious options?"

Wain had to get to the Forgotten Forest of Elves, for there, he had to find the Running Light. It was a condition for the discovery of the sixth form.

"Ah... I've heard that the Forgotten Forest used to be navigated by Guides, those special spirits responsible for the connection between the Forgotten Forest and the Elven World, but after the Forgotten Forest disappeared, no one has been able to find them. You can definitely get there if you can do it, but honestly, you don't stand a chance."

'Guides... Damn, the conditions get harder and more confusing every time. I still wouldn't have discovered the fifth form if I hadn't met Eva. What happens next? Will I even be able to open the next forms?'

"I see. Sorry to hear that, but thanks anyway." Wain finished his wine and left the castle.

"The Forgotten Forest... I wonder if anything has changed there since the merging of worlds?" Reto muttered.

...

Besides Reto, Wain chatted with Frigus and Elegan. He learned about how the zone was evolving and was pleased with the results.

Frigus taught the monsters to fight and the art of the sword if possible. The monsters were known to love and want to fight and get stronger, so there was no problem with motivation.

Elegan turned out to be an excellent manager, just as Wain had expected. The monsters respected and ran all of his errands. He was fair and honest and did everything for the good of the zone. Elegan dreamed of such a role, and Wain gave him this opportunity for which he was grateful.

...

Step.

Wain entered the cave under the waterfall.

Edena and Lui Bu were working hard, as always. Their small alchemical laboratory smelled pleasantly of various medicinal herbs and various fruits.

"Wain! You're back!" Lui Bu exclaimed.

"Yes, how are you doing? Have you made any progress?"

"Hmm, we've made some useful potions and pills, but we can't call it a success"

"Why not?"

"It's not what we need." Edena said, walking into the room, "For some reason, we still can't create anything meaningful. Small projects are always easy for us, but we inevitably fail if we try to create something large-scale."

"What were you trying to do?"

"We spent a lot of time trying to create a potion with the essence of blood, but we failed, even with the blood fountain in mind. Sarras gave us some tips, but our maximum is blood bombs and soporific mist right now." Edena said dejectedly.

"Perhaps you took my words too seriously. You don't have to spend all your energy creating something as complex as a blood essence potion. Therefore, you are talented and easily able to create something less complicated. Do it gradually."
