A ball of golden light flew across the flower field, came to the end of the sea of flowers, broke into the magnificent palace, stumbled along the red carpet and flew quickly, knocking open the door of the king's study.
"This is terrible! Your Majesty, this is terrible!"
The tiny figure among the bookshelves heard the sound, suddenly closed the book in his hand, forced it into the bookshelf, and turned towards the intruding light ball as if nothing had happened.
"No matter what happened, there's no need to panic like this. You'll only confuse others. Tell me, what happened?"
The person who was speaking had a handsome head of short golden hair, regular features, emerald eyes that exuded heroism, and he was wearing a beautiful golden dress, like a prince charming from a fairy tale.
But he has thin wings behind him and pointed ears, so he is destined not to be the dream lover of thousands of girls.
He is too small, really too small.
If you put an adult here, you will find that he is only as big as an adult's fist.
He is a goblin.
To be precise, he is the king of this fairy kingdom, Kaka Rotten.
The ball of light that ran into his study was his secretary Sisi, a clumsy male elf.
"Your Majesty, listen to me, the barrier has been broken, and the sealing barrier has been broken ahead of schedule!"
"I see, it's just the barrier that was broken. I thought something really big had happened." After saying this, Kaka's handsome face flashed with surprise, "Wait, what did you just say?"
Sisi reported truthfully, "The barrier has been broken. The barrier used for sealing has been broken ahead of time. The barrier was broken in the direction of Lake Baikal. Black bubbles rose from the center of the lake, blowing a black wind. Just like before, wherever it went, no grass grew. The fairies working in the flower fields did not have time to evacuate, and some have been corrupted!"
Covering up his inner uneasiness, Kaka asked, "How many goblins have been corrupted?"
"We know of more than a hundred people so far, and the number is still rising. Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Sisi had a sad face, as what happened nineteen years ago was still vivid in his mind. If the tragedy happened again, the consequences would be disastrous. He now hoped that their king could lead them through the difficult times again.
Disaster happened again. Kaka pondered for a moment and issued instructions.
"Pass on my order. All fairies, prepare for war and stay away from Lake Baikal. Don't be afraid. We have experience dealing with this 19 years ago. Organize manpower first to prevent the disaster from expanding further. I will contact the humans. The passage will be opened soon. I will ask them to send people down as soon as possible to deal with it."
"I will obey your will. I believe that His Majesty the King will lead us through this difficult time together!"
After saying this, Sisi ran out of the study without looking back to convey the Fairy King's instructions.
Looking at Sisi who stumbled away again, Kaka took out the book he had just put in from the bookshelf and gently stroked the cheek of the blonde girl on the cover, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"We will definitely get through this time, Alice. I promise you that we will be together forever from now on."
After swearing, Kaka carefully put the book in the bookcase and flew to a huge mirror. They have helped humans a lot, and now it is time for humans to repay their kindness.
After running around for a whole day, Yang Yu lay on the bed to rest. The window that was destroyed by Tiko had not been repaired yet. He could see the starry sky by turning his body slightly. With the breeze blowing, Yang Yu moved the bed and chose a place without wind before he fell asleep peacefully.
However, before the sun woke up from its slumber and rose high into the sky, an uneasy day had already begun.
In the middle of the night, Bai Jin knocked on Yang Yu's door hurriedly.
Yang Yu, who was sleepy, washed his face casually, opened the door, and saw Bai Jin, who looked worried.
Before he could ask Bai Jin why she came, Bai Jin hurriedly grabbed Yang Yu's hand and dragged him to her room.
"Come with me quickly, He Meng looks a little abnormal today!"
When Yang Yu heard this, he instantly perked up.
Something went wrong, this is definitely the rhythm of the task!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!
His sleepiness was swept away, Yang Yu quickened his pace, dragged Bai Jin, and stepped into her room without hesitation.
In Bai Jin's room, the light blue He Meng huddled in the corner, like a lost snail, crawling hard towards the wall, but no matter how it crawled, it stayed where it was, not moving forward a single step.
Can slimes sleepwalk? If they do, then I'm so happy for nothing.
After opening the property panel, Yang Yu was surprised to find that there was a thin icon on He Meng's status bar.
With a raised eyebrow, Yang Yu clicked it lightly. Nothing was displayed on the icon, only three huge question marks.
There is no doubt that He Meng is in some abnormal state.
Currently, this state is very weak and may not even be fully effective yet, but it has begun to affect the monsters.
"He Meng, did you eat anything strange yesterday?"
Bai Jin shook her head. Although He Meng had almost "broken off" relations with Yang Yu, when it was time for dinner, He Meng would still rush to find Yang Yu and ask him for four-leaf clover. He Meng basically didn't eat anything except four-leaf clover, so the possibility of having a stomachache could be completely ruled out.
"Then, when did he become like this?" Yang Yu asked.
"It was fine when I came back, and it behaved the same as usual until I went to bed. But in the middle of the night, I heard a strange noise and got up to check, and saw that it had become like this. Is it sick?"
Bai Jin looked at He Meng who was spinning in place with concern. She felt distressed but could do nothing.
"Slimes don't get sick that easily. There must be something going on. I'll go check it out."
As he spoke, Yang Yu took a few steps closer to He Meng. He bent down, and was about to further check what effect that unknown state had on He Meng, when He Meng seemed to have noticed him and stopped.
Suddenly, without any warning, He Meng stretched his body, bounced up from the ground like a ball, and slammed into Yang Yu's chest.
Yang Yu quickly summoned a shield from the system, used a [Shield Block] to block He Meng's charge, and slammed He Meng against the wall in one breath.
He Meng slid down the white wall, leaving wet marks, and then shrank back into a round ball, looking left and right as if he had not woken up yet.
When it saw Yang Yu pointing a sword at it, it became angry and protested.
Bai Jin frowned, worry evident on her face, "He Meng, are you okay now?"
After hearing Bai Jin's words, three big question marks popped up above He Meng's head. He couldn't understand the current situation at all, and didn't know what had just happened.
