Chapter 582 - 580: Overwhelming Information
Hilia silently gazed in the direction of the Recovery Temple, watching Ze Lishalin lead all the elves into the temple.
She did not follow, choosing to wait outside.
Rose’s phantom had already disappeared.
He had gone to find the other half of the Heart of the Magic Puppet.
This place gave Hilia a very dangerous feeling. Before receiving Rose’s protection, she dared not wander around carelessly, fearing she might accidentally touch something.
She could sense the Array, but was largely powerless against other things, such as hidden curses or trigger-based potions, and so on.
Or perhaps, dangerous plants.
In the aimless waiting, Hilia’s thoughts gradually drifted.
"I wonder how things are going over at the Elf Royal City. Considering such a big event happened in the Elf Forest, logically other empires and the Beastman Empire couldn’t be unaware."
In Subspace, it was impossible to connect to the Star Spirit Network, so Hilia had no idea how the situation outside was.
After the Elf Royal City initiated the Array yesterday, Hilia noticed that the Star Spirit Network within the city had been cut off from the outside, forming an ’intranet’ type of regional network. Besides the Royal Court, others could only communicate within the area.
Hilia speculated that the Elf Royal Court intended to lock down the city, resolve the issue quickly, and then reactivate it. Although outsiders might notice something unusual, they wouldn’t voice it.
But, if it cannot be resolved in a short time...
"Luckily it has nothing to do with me..."
Hilia murmured to herself.
She wondered about Elina’s situation, as she could separate pollution from life energy, fearing she might exhaust herself to death...
The girl looked up at the grand Recovery Temple, curious about what was going on inside.
She suspected the Recovery Temple might have connections with the Dusk Sect. If it were the Dusk Sect, would it really be safe for the elves receiving treatment?
Hilia didn’t care much about others, but it would be somewhat a pity if the friendly elf Lana became something like a heretic.
Just as she was thinking, Hilia suddenly felt she could ’see’ into the Recovery Temple.
Surprised, Rose’s voice came: "I knew you wanted to see what was happening inside, let me share the vision with you."
After advancing to Tier Four, Rose could draw upon more Spiritual Power and had the ability to convert all his perceptions into real images, projecting them into his consciousness, and, of course, could share them with Hilia.
Inside the temple, Hilia saw all the injured elves being taken by the people of the Recovery Temple into a very large room.
On one wall of this room, there was a tall statue.
The statue did not clearly depict which deity it was, merely suggesting a male deity.
Hilia was already accustomed to deities with unknown images.
Or rather, besides the Holy Court, in other places where deities are worshipped, she found it hard to discern what exactly was being worshipped.
Perhaps it was just the founder of an organization?
Hilia thought.
She could not help but ask Rose, "Lord Rose, do you recognize who is on that statue?"
Rose replied, "No, I don’t."
At that moment, Rose was in the room with the injured elves, watching as the original elves of the Recovery Temple conversed with those from the Royal Court.
Soon, Ze Lishalin walked in from outside, accompanied by a Magic Puppet.
"Well then, the treatment will now begin. I will use the power of the Recovery Temple to expel all the filth from their bodies..."
As she spoke, Ze Lishalin began to manipulate the Magic Puppet, releasing waves of holy life Magic, gradually entering everyone’s body.
Rose squinted his eyes, looking at the Magic Puppet controlled by Ze Lishalin.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the chest of the Magic Puppet, seeing the Heart of the Magic Puppet within.
Hilia noticed the focus of Rose’s gaze and felt a twinge of curiosity, asking, "Lord Rose, is the Heart of the Magic Puppet she is using the thing we are looking for?"
Rose shook his head, "No, for now at least, unless it is highly compatible, low-tier mages cannot use that high-intensity Heart of the Magic Puppet."
The feeling Ze Lishalin gave Hilia was undoubtedly that of a Tier Six Mage.
Tier Six is low-tier... Well, maybe to a god.
Hilia thought with a hint of sarcasm, then curiously asked, "If it’s not, then what is it? I feel like the Magic she uses is a bit like life Magic."
"A composite Magic of life and holy magic, the Heart of the Magic Puppet she is using, just like the one you’re currently using, is a life-affiliated Heart of the Magic Puppet, and this mage has researched a combination of holy and life Magic, quite interesting."
Hilia also used composite techniques combining multiple Magics, but they all came from Rose’s teachings.
Researching on her own, god knows how long it would take her to comprehend it.
Hilia curiously studied Ze Lishalin a few times; the other was an elf, but seemed not to be a pure elf, for Hilia could sense differences from pure-blooded elves.
The legendary half-elf, mixed-blood elf?
Hilia thought.
"If not, Lord Rose, why..."

Rose looked at Ze Lishalin, who was treating the elves, and said lightly, "To find the hidden Heart of the Magic Puppet, we need to start with this elf called Ze Lishalin. Incidentally, I’ve discovered some interesting situations, and perhaps this time we might return empty-handed."
Hilia blinked.
It was the first time she heard the words ’return empty-handed’ from Rose’s mouth.
In the past, no matter what task, no matter how difficult the problem, Rose was almost always confident, and as long as he wanted something, he could basically obtain it.
"Is it because we can’t sneak out the Heart of the Magic Puppet?"
Hilia asked curiously.
Rose gave her a sour look, "What do you mean by ’sneak’?"
"Hehe..."
"It’s called taking." Rose said, "It’s not that it can’t be taken, but that Heart of the Magic Puppet might be related to the pollution in the Elf Forest, and taking it recklessly might cause some terrible consequences."
"Huh?"
"Wait until she finishes the treatment. Afterward, she will definitely take the life energy collected from the elves back to that Heart of the Magic Puppet, and then we’ll know."
"Collect life energy?"
"Yes, these elves all carry the blessing of the Holy Tree, which seems to be something the Recovery Temple requires." Rose said with interest.
Hilia was a bit perplexed.
It seemed somewhat complicated.
Upon coming to this Recovery Temple, it was as if she had discovered something extraordinary. The information Rose revealed was entirely beyond her comprehension.
After a long wait, the treatment finally concluded.
Ze Lishalin looked at the Elf Elder and smiled slightly, "Alright, next, just need to rest for a while, then you can return. Although it can’t be completely eradicated, most of the pollution has been dispelled, and the remainder will no longer pose a threat to them."
