"I've roughly figured out the situation …"
Josiah patiently listened to the Falosi's plea for help. From her narration, Josiah could tell that she had already treated the 'amusement park' as her last lifeline.
Currently, the surviving Duke Blackwood was lying on a sickbed. His condition was not optimistic at all. Elder Quaeto was using some kind of magic to repair his damaged soul.
"Is he reacting to Cat and Mouse now?"
This was the first time Josiah had seen such a serious case of the Grey Fog corroding the soul. The Duke Blackwood could only blink his eyes as he lay on the sickbed.
According to Caroline, it was only by repeating the memories of the past seven days, and singing to her father that she had managed to bring him back from the brink of despair.
Other than blinking his eyes, the Duke was no different from a vegetable.
"Yes!"
Carolee shouted excitedly when she heard this question. This was also the reason why she was so eager to find Josiah.
"When I was on the Ice Dragon, I showed my father the first episode of 'Cat and Mouse'. Some colorful lines appeared beside him … but they were quickly swallowed by the grey," Carolee said.
When the Duke Blackwood was enjoying 'Cat and Mouse', it was the real reason why Carolee decided to bring him to see Josiah first instead of returning to Falosi.
"What lines?"
This time, it was Carolee's turn to say some words that Josiah could not understand at all.
Carolee stepped aside, and Josiah's gaze fell on the existence standing at the door.
It was a Dark Elf. Josiah remembered that she … had been seeking death in the dungeon, but in order to wait for the update of 'Cat and Mouse', she forced herself to live until now.
"Hello, the creator of 'Cat and Mouse', and the one who enslaved the High Elves."
Her greeting immediately attracted Elder Quaeto's hatred and put Josiah in a very awkward position.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just didn't expect that you high-level beings would choose a … demon to be the leader."
The Dark Elf's words were always sharp, even when she apologized sincerely.
"Ahem, I'm just a collaborator with the High Elves. How should I address you?"
Josiah extended his hand to the Dark Elf. She didn't shake Josiah's hand and said her name.
"Bellica."
"She knows mind magic that allows her to see through other people's emotional states." Hiri said, "I've asked my tutor, and she doesn't seem to have seen this kind of strange magic."
"Of course, humans can't master our race's secret technique …"
Her deep purple eyes were fixed on Josiah, and the emotion called "curiosity" was clearly expressed in her gaze, as if she wanted to skin Josiah and slice him up to study him.
"Are you sure she can only see other people's emotions?" Josiah whispered into Hiri's ear.
Hiri nodded directly.
"You're very special, far more special than any demon I've met before. I finally understand why that stubborn child Enwe would submit to you."
A light purple inscription appeared on her fingertip, and she gestured for Josiah to come forward.
"Enwe? You mean Qianmian? "
Josiah guessed the age of this Dark Elf and her status in the race. Since she could call Qianmian a "child", her age could very well be the same as Elder Quaeto, or even … older.
"What name does she use in the human world? I'm not interested in that right now. "
The Dark Elf's fingertip lightly tapped on the back of Josiah's hand. After that, she walked to the window and looked out at the Forgotten Land.
"Enwe told me that you've created countless miracles, but there are also lies among them. This place is filled with failure and darkness, but it has no effect on my human father's illness."
Her voice was filled with disappointment, and her evaluation of the Forgotten Land was undoubtedly a mockery of the High Elves.
After receiving the purple mark, Josiah opened his eyes again. The changes in the scenery in front of him were within Josiah's expectations.
Hiri explained to Josiah the emotions represented by the various colors …
"This mark has the ability to digitize and visualize emotions … It seems that Duke Blackwood's condition is really bad."
Josiah first glanced at Hiri. Most of the pink lines appeared on Hiri's body. She seemed to have realized something and wanted to hide the emotional marks, but unfortunately, the emotional marks passed through Hiri's hand and could not be hidden.
"This feeling of being peeped at by others doesn't feel good either."
Josiah very politely did not look at Carolee too much. Duke Blackwood's entire body was covered in gray and black emotional marks. He was basically the kind of person who 'wanted to die', or even worse, 'a useless person who didn't even want to commit suicide'.
"That girl actually hoped that the ruins would make people excited and happy, but it seems that all her hopes have been dashed."
The Dark Elf leaned against the window and muttered to herself.
From her point of view, the Forgotten Land was indeed very barren. There were not many High Elves living here, let alone producing emotional marks that could make people happy.
"Because Arthur Crowe is currently dead, and it has not officially started."
Josh also made his way over to the window. All of the shops below were closed, and there wasn't a single person to be seen on the streets.
"Carolee, what did your father like to do in the past?" Josiah turned to ask Carolee.
The flower of the Falosi had come all the way to ask for his help, and Josiah decided to help as much as he could for the sake of their friendship.
"Horse racing and gladiatorial fights." Carolee thought for a moment and said a hobby that Falosi people rarely had. "My father has never been interested in drama. I heard from my mother that he liked to hunt when he was young, but after he was saved by the Blackwood Elves, he didn't do it anymore."
"Simply put, he was a person who liked excitement?"
Josiah turned his head to look at one of the most magnificent landmarks in the entire amusement park. It was the roller coaster that had just been completed and tested for safety just three days ago.
Due to the lack of time, Josiah did not even have time to give it a name.
"Your father is now aware of the outside world?"
Josiah did not know if letting a vegetable ride on a roller coaster was considered abuse, but if Carolee was willing to let her father try …
"Yes …" Carolee said to Josiah with certainty.
"Since it is the Ahr method of testing, of course, all the items have to be tested once. Miss Belico … Do you want to try it too?"
Josiah could see the emotional marks surrounding the Dark Elf's body. Her situation was not much better than the Blackwood Duke's. The emotional marks that represented despair occupied the majority of her body.
"It doesn't matter."
