Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 580 - 327: The Sadness of the Fox-Eared Girl, The Epic and Legend of the Lost Era (4k) _2
[Ding! Special Task: The Lost Era of the Pan Continent—II has been automatically updated.]
[Task Brief: With the help of "Void," you have arrived at a strange place, Traveler. Please continue to search for the secrets it holds.]
[Note: It is recommended that you, Traveler, try to reach the bottommost part of this place~]
"Interesting," he murmured.
Luo Xi stood up and stepped over an elf. At that moment, a hand grasped his foot.
"You, why are you here?"
Luo Xi looked down. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
A charming yet pale face appeared.
It was Dannis, the daughter of Duke Christie, who lived next door, leaning against the wall and pulling on his foot.
Luo Xi pried her hand off and ignored her.
Dannis watched Luo Xi with an indifferent expression and bit her lip, propping herself up against the wall as she followed him.
Everyone who had fallen in this corridor was too weak to wake up yet.
Since she had encountered the only conscious Luo Xi, she had to follow him; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to fend off danger on her own.
It was then, as Luo Xi walked under a ’yellow light,’ that something astonishing happened: a black and red dragon tail appeared behind the young man.
After he passed through the yellow light, everything went back to normal.
Dannis harbored a wildly ridiculous thought.
The commander of the Black Knight army is... a Variant?
Her Majesty Kureya let a Variant, a human Variant, be the commander of her Black Knight army?
What kind of joke was that?
Dannis stopped.
Humans she could barely trust.
But Variants, she truly dared not trust.
Variant humans were no longer humans; they were offspring tainted by the Origin Beast.
Just as elves would never consider Variant elves as their kin.
Luo Xi was unaware of what the young elf girl behind him was thinking; he was only looking for a way down as the task had suggested.
Suddenly, he heard a grating noise in his ear.
"Hiss! Just because—"
Luo Xi saw a white ghost-like figure climb out from the wall and scurry towards him.
Suddenly, a black and red flame surged up furiously, and after the white ghost screamed twice, it swiftly retreated along the wall.

In a room filled with silver metal.
Feya sat in a metal chair of silvery-white, staring blankly at the complicated control panels and buttons before her, glancing around.
She was alone in the room.
Nanali had split away from her, and she didn’t know where she had ended up.
Feya felt somewhat despondent.
Was it because of her again that Nanali was in danger?
[Warning! After initialization, the Source Energy reactor is damaged. The ’Extraterrestrial Source Material Derivative’ used as the energy supply has escaped and is hiding in a corner within the fortress. Please capture it and refill the Source Energy reactor in time.]
[Warning! Spirit God Fortress has entered semi-hibernation mode. The space shielding skill has been activated. Current energy is insufficient, only remaining at 1%, sustainable for six hours. Please replenish as soon as possible.]
Texts like these kept popping up in Feya’s vision.
Extraterrestrial Source Material Derivative?
What are all these?
Feya felt her head was about to explode.
And how exactly was this Spirit God Fortress built?
Did Emerald City have such technology?
Feya remembered the records saying that only Tiangong Country to the east of the Pan Continent had the capability to build such massive mechanical fortresses. Since when could the elves do this too?
Click—
Feya turned her head toward the silver door that had suddenly opened.
Was someone coming?
But there was no one outside the door.
She frowned and stood, walking a few steps towards the door.
"Hiss!—"
After a piercing scream, a white ghost-like figure lunged at Feya, but before she could show fear, a faint golden light flickered on her body, and the ghost-like figure turned tail and ran as if frightened by a ghost.
Feya: "?"
"Help!"
"Brother William, why don’t you kill it?"
"I can’t kill this thing, it even absorbs my strength, there’s nothing I can do!"
Urgent cries for help and the noise of commotion came from the top of the passage.
Feya hesitated for a moment, then stepped out to take a look. She saw a sticky mud monster over three meters tall chasing seven or eight elf girls and a young elf in the corridor.
Seeing a young girl about to be swallowed by the mud monster, Feya raised her hand and pinched out the incantation she was most skilled at.
"Congeal."
William and the others, seeing someone casting a spell ahead, immediately shouted, "It’s useless, this thing is impervious to any skill or incantation, and swords and axes don’t work on it either!"
However, what William didn’t anticipate happened.
The mud monster that had been chasing them suddenly stopped in its tracks as the mud on its body hardened, eventually forming a statue-like object that stood on the ground.
"Did it work?"
"We’re saved..."
Several young-looking elf girls ran to Feya’s side, and the girl who Feya had saved even dove directly into her embrace.
The girl blinked her clear, large eyes and said, "Thank you for saving me, Miss. My name is Susie."
The other girls also chattered excitedly:
"Miss, you’re so amazing."
"Was that an incantation?"
"What’s with that monster, Miss, do you know?"
Feya had never experienced this feeling of being so warmly surrounded by her own kind, which made her feel somewhat flustered yet happy.
William also approached with a smile, "My fair lady, may I know your name?"
Feya said softly, "Feya."
William smiled and said, "Ah, we were almost past the ’Heartbeat Crisis’ challenge, and then this happened. But it’s precisely because of this that I have the chance to see Miss Feya again. This is my luck and my honor."
"Luck..."
"Yes, I consider myself very fortunate."
William placed his hand on his chest and smiled, "Miss Feya, allow me to reintroduce myself, I am William Calan Vyriam, Duke Vyriam’s second..."
Mid-introduction, a streak of yellow light flashed by from not too far away. William saw a pair of fox ears appear on the young girl’s head.
"Wait, you’re a Variant?"
William’s expression instantly turned to one of disgust.
Feya was taken aback, subconsciously raised her hand to touch the top of her head, and then her hand stiffened.
Had the secret skill of her aunt to hide her true form been exposed?
Why had it been exposed?
Her aunt had said that not even Fifth-Order Supers could detect it.
Not only William, but the surrounding elf girls saw the fox ears on her head as well.
Apart from the girl Feya had rescued from the jaws of the mud monster, the rest retreated as if they had seen a wild beast and hid behind William. Their looks of admiration quickly turned to ’disgust’ and ’worry’.
William’s tone changed as well, and he said coldly, "I knew something was wrong with this exchange event. You didn’t cause this, did you? How did you bewitch Duke Mel? I’m going to report you to Her Majesty!"
Feya’s lips trembled slightly and a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.
Although she wanted to refute, it seemed that it was indeed because of her.
If she had just sat there and done nothing, maybe it would have been fine.
She let go of the girl in her arms.
"I’m sorry..."
Feya said in a low voice, and with her head lowered, she walked past them and headed down the road from which they had come.
The fox-eared girl fought back the sourness at the tip of her nose.
What was she hoping for?
This sort of thing wasn’t for her to have in the first place.
William watched Feya’s retreating figure, his eyes revealing a trace of malevolence. The thought of nearly taking a liking to such a Variant elf made him feel sullied.
Once outside, he was determined to be the first to report to the Heresy Judicature!
It would be best if he personally apprehended the Variant elf. Perhaps he could then receive the favor and reward of the Mother Tree...
"Miss, wait for me!"
The girl Susie, whom Feya had saved, hesitated for a while, then ran after Feya. Her friends couldn’t hold her back.
However, by the time she reached the spot, Feya had already disappeared from sight.

I’m too exhausted to write after the exam, dead tired, that’s all for today.
