Chapter 85: One-eyed Joan

Ilmin Sur's spirit appeared again in front of Joan, as a fluttering lantern led him back home.
Joan followed the spirit in the darkness. I don't know how far he walked. The road finally came to an end, and in front of him was a slightly glowing tree hole.
Joan did not hesitate to drill into the tree hole, teleporting surrounded by the magic vortex, and there was a trance in front of him, his body fluttered lightly, and when he recovered, he found that he had returned to the lacquered forest in the village of Pohuatan In the shade of Ilminsur, the fiery red sunset sprinkled through the leaves and leaves, and it was very comfortable and warm.
"Joan!" Condy flew over with tears, hugging him tightly and letting go, as if fearing that he would disappear into a bubble and disappear, "Thank you Mother of Nature! You are finally back!"
There was a warm current in Qiao'an's heart. It turned out that this was the taste of being missed...
Kandy looked at Joan carefully, suddenly his eyes widened, and his voice could not help shaking: "Your right eye..."
Joan touched her right eye, which was no longer visible, and calmly told her: "Now I have only two eyes."
Kandy didn't find this joke funny at all, sobbing and asking him, "Did the bad goblin hurt your right eye?"
Qiao An was worried and could not explain it. He simply put the black pot on the head of the soul stealer and pushed the boat. Anyway, the guy couldn't survive to justify.
"Well, in the end I killed it. It's worth paying for this sacrifice." Joan was still not used to lying, twitching in a few words, flushing his white cheeks.
Matoka and Victor came over, and the couple carefully looked around Joan, and saw the blood hole in his face that had solidified, showing a look of intolerance and sympathy.
"Poor children, blame me. If we had brought you to the village of Povatan, you wouldn't lose it...you wouldn't suffer this crime." Matoka hugged Joan, sobbing silently.
Joan was both moved and ashamed. I couldn't bear to lie to the Condys who really cared for me. I could only avoid it and said lightly: "I really don't care, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
Victor patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her and calmly asked Joan what happened after falling into the tree hole.
"After entering the tree cave, I was teleported to a weird place, where I wrestled with the soul-stealing spirit, and after killing the evil goblin, I tried to find a way back..." Distracting myself, "Condy, what time is it and how long have I been away?"
"It's almost dusk, from when you enter the tree hole to return... almost three hours have passed."
"Only three hours? But I clearly remember...it has been staying across the tree hole for several days." Joan shook his head in disbelief. Even if he had been hanging upside down on the roots of Ilminsur for the test for nine days and nine nights, how could it be three hours?
"I can answer this question." Victor touched Joan's head with a gentle look. "The place you just went to is called'Fairy Wilderness.' The time there is not exactly in sync with the world we live in."
The Fairy Wilderness is a plane closely parallel to the material plane. They both occupy the same spatial dimension, but are independent of each other, like the front and back of the same picture.
The landscape of the fairy wilderness is a mirror image of the material world, and at the same time, its characteristic form must be extremely enlarged. A volcano that stands on the material plane is a towering crystal peak in the fairy wilderness, and the tower-like flames shine inside the mountain. The spacious and muddy river in the material plane may be reflected as an extremely beautiful and clear crooked stream. A wetland may be reflected as a large black quagmire. When travelers enter the fairy wilderness from the old ruins of the material plane, they are likely to appear in front of the gate of an ancient elf castle.
It is said that the goblin wilderness is divided and ruled by the royal court led by the two queens, and most elves are loyal to one of them. Queen Titania and her "King of Summer" lead the "joy fairy", while the Queen of Darkness rules the "King of Twilight" and governs the "sorrow fairy" under it. The court of joy and the court of anger are not directly related to good and evil, although many people directly regard it as equal. There are many kind and joyful goblins, and there are also many evil and mourning goblins, but the confrontation between them only stems from the envy of their queens, not purely moral positions. The ugly inhabitants of the goblin wilderness, such as the ghost family, almost never belong to any royal court. The two royal courts sometimes wage wars, but they also compete in a relatively friendly manner, and sometimes even form alliances with each other in subtle ways.
Joan entered the "Goblin Wilderness" through the tree hole in Ilminsur. This type of transmission channel is still deep in the jungle of Yalfheim, but it is very hidden and difficult to find. These portals leading to the goblin wilderness are collectively referred to as the "goblin channel", and are mysterious nodes that connect the goblin wilderness to the material plane. Sometimes, when a traveler enters a forest clearing, walks into a pond, walks into a mushroom ring or fears to enter a tree trunk, he passes through a goblin channel. In the eyes of the traveler, he just stepped into the fairy wilderness. Other observers will only see the traveler disappear at that moment.
As for Joan’s time during the stay in the Goblin Wilderness seems to be longer than the elapsed time in the real world, Victor also gave a reasonable explanation based on his own knowledge.
"When a traveler inadvertently breaks into the Goblin Wilderness, he can realize that he has spent the day after day and the time passes normally. However, when he leaves the Goblin Wilderness and returns to the world where he was originally, he will find that time has passed. More or less in the past, in the world of Vales, where we live, the speed of time is faster than that of the Goblin Wilderness, so you have been wandering in the Goblin Wilderness for several days, but when you return to the village, you realize that only three short past It's just an hour."

·Memory loss MemoryLoss
Those who leave the goblin wilderness must pass a Wisdom check (DC10). The loser will lose all memories during the stay in the goblin wilderness. The successful saver retains the memory but the impression is blurred. Any spell that removes the curse can restore the lost memory of the creature. The sperm creature automatically passes the exemption.
·Time Warp
Time passes normally in the Goblin Wilderness, players can realize that they have spent day after day, but when leaving the plane, they will find that more or less time has been spent elsewhere in the multiverse. The time velocity of the main material world is usually faster than the Goblin Wilderness. Prayers can eliminate this time effect.
