Chapter 30

Zi Liliu stepped into the inspection zone alone. It was crowded with people carrying piles of luggage, but Li Liu was the only one pulling a blue suitcase, very simple. The only special thing about it was the doll hanging on the suitcase.

The words on the small booklet beside Li Liu's hand were clear and concise - Lanhuan Customs.

The inspection zone was the entry and exit checkpoint of Lanhuan, and everyone coming here needed to verify their information. Magic was not allowed to be used, and special magical arrays constantly monitored whether anyone here was using Magic.

"Next." The front desk inspector called out. Li Liu was the next person to be inspected, and she held the booklet tightly because she was afraid. She was afraid that her information would be discovered as fraudulent. Her own identity would bring a lot of inconvenience, such as being watched, having her motives guessed, and being followed. This would make it very difficult to find Qin Yang.

"Information card." The inspector asked Li Liu coldly and mechanically. The information card was a small transparent green card, and the inspector used special gestures to press the card onto the table. All the information would appear in the inspector's pupils, so no one else could see or know what he was looking at except the inspector himself.

The inspector looked up and glanced at Li Liu to verify the appearance of the information holder. But then he couldn't take his eyes off her, because the information he saw had no loopholes. This was because the power of the "Absolute Frosty Eyes" had already affected him.

Inside this sealed inspection zone, the magical array could locate any person using Magic within one millisecond. However, Li Liu dared to use her illusion eyes precisely because the magical array could only detect Magic and did not include Magic used through a dragon spirit contract.

Even though Li Liu knew this, she still felt uneasy. The problem lied in the fact that the inspector himself had received training to resist illusions all year round, and people who could do this job naturally had talents that were not easily affected by illusions. At this moment, the inspector was already being influenced by the Frosty Eyes, but it wouldn't be considered successful until he made a judgment.

The inspector soon reacted. He gently raised his hand and then slowly pressed it onto the table...

"Next." The inspector took out the card from the table and said.

Li Liu expressionlessly took the card, but the hand holding the suitcase was already sweaty.

The sky outside the inspection zone was blue and cloudless. Li Liu took a deep breath as she looked up. This was the first time she had done something like this in her life, and it was a crime. But unfortunately, this wasn't the Othrie Empire, where she could be carefree like before.

When looking for someone in an unfamiliar place, usually there would be no clue and one would hit a wall everywhere. But Li Liu, holding her suitcase, was purposeful as she moved ahead. After bypassing several blocks, she saw the sea. The shoreline was incomprehensible to the naked eye, and it was filled with beautiful women in swimsuits and muscular men in swimming trunks. This was an area with high property prices, and those who could be here were either rich or noble. Besides the beach, there was a large palace-like building by the coast. Symbolically, there were two people standing outside the palace, but they knew that their job was just for show. After all, the people inside didn't need them.

"They haven't left their room for days. It must be suffocating."

"Ha, maybe they don't even use the door to enter or exit. How could we possibly know where they went?"

"Well, that's true. Sending the two of us here is just boring."

"Pay attention to your external appearance and stand properly."

"Hey hey, beautiful ladies can't just enter here casually." The two guards at the entrance never dreamed that someone would actually dare to intrude. It was well known nationwide that only the delegation from the Divine Race resided here.

"Sisi..." It seemed as if something had frozen over. The two guards exhaled cold breath, their faces showing no signs of change, but their bodies stiffened, unable to move.

Li Liu picked up the box and walked into the palace. The two guards remained motionless, as if nothing had happened, offering no resistance to the intruder.

There was a pavilion near the entrance, and Li Liu could immediately recognize the person sleeping on it. It was Hisa. Upon sensing Li Liu's magic power, he woke up and sat up, his gaze fixing on Li Liu.

"It's her!"

"Who?"

"Wow! Xia, when did you come? You scared me."

While Hisa was paying attention to Li Liu, Xia quietly approached him. The awkwardness from last night was nowhere to be seen.

"I just arrived. Tell me, who is this little girl? Her ability is not simple at all." Xia and Li Liu exchanged a glance, and she made no attempt to stop Li Liu's advance. She simply sat down next to Hisa, acting like a bystander.

"Do you see those two guards? Illusion and frost magic. It's Othrie's Third Princess, the 'Icebound Illusion Eyes' Violet Li Liu. I've seen her a few times."

"Hisa, I am not Violet Li Liu. My name is Blue Yan, and I have something to discuss before I leave."

Li Liu suddenly stopped, facing Hisa in the pavilion, and stood at attention. It was difficult to deny that she was not Violet Li Liu but someone named Blue Yan, judging from the seriousness of her expression and address.

"Oh, really." Hisa didn't expose her, and he didn't feel any hostility towards Othrie’s Hisa. Perhaps it was because of the adage 'the friend of my enemy is my friend.'

"She actually slapped you."

"It's normal for someone to not want to use their real name when coming alone. I'm just curious what kind of situation would cause the Third Princess to take such a risk and come here alone... Could Qin Yang be here too?"

Li Liu walked into the palace alone, timing it perfectly to meet Elena face to face.

"Who are you?" Elena felt like she recognized Li Liu, but couldn't remember who she was.

Two former best friends were now like strangers, the last time they saw each other they were fighting side by side, and now they met again and Elena asked, "Who are you?"

Li Liu's heart was colder than the two guards at the entrance. She had the strong urge to slap Elena and tell her solemnly that the person she was now was not herself at all!

Although Li Liu had this thought, she did not make such an outrageous move. She calmly said, "You're exactly as they described."

Elena furrowed her freshly drawn eyebrows and asked indifferently, "They?"

"Qin Yang, Lilith, and Hanya. That day when you stormed into the student council and forcefully took Tesha away, I thought it was just a temporary issue. I had some doubts, but today you're still like this."

Li Liu did not return to school on the day Elena attacked the student council, as she was still recuperating inside the palace. She did not witness Elena's actions firsthand that day, so she still held onto her fantasies, thinking that it wasn't real.

"Oh, so you're also part of the student council!" Suddenly, six conical alchemical objects floated around Elena. Li Liu learned from Qin Yang and Hanya that Elena, who activated the Five Elemental Contract, could create artifacts effortlessly, and the injuries caused by these artifacts were extremely difficult to heal.

"Are all the people associated with Qin Yang your enemies now, Elena Brandt?” Li Liu took a step forward, causing Elena to instinctively take a step back. It was only after stepping back that she realized why she had reacted that way.

"You, standing here today as the attacked party, seem more like you're seeking revenge."

"We would never seek revenge against a friend."

Li Liu's eyes changed color, and the Dragon Spirit contract could be seen in her eyes, appearing very eerie. At the same time, the six alchemical objects were instantly encased in ice and turned into individual ice sculptures, but they still retained their floating abilities, indicating that they had not completely freed themselves from Elena's control.

"Illusion!" Elena exclaimed as she saw the illusionary eyes. The scenery in front of her completely changed, as if she saw two girls meeting on campus, and a friendly hand was extended towards her.

Elena immediately closed her eyes, her mind went blank, quickly escaping from the invading illusion.

"What did you give me?" Elena opened her eyes, her expression somewhat dazed. For some reason, even though she had escaped from the illusion, these images kept appearing in her mind over and over again, deepening the impression each time. However, she didn't know where in her mind these images suddenly appeared from, as if completing a drawing that had been erased from a blank paper with a pencil, then re-drawing the original drawing along the traces.

"These memories are precious to me, and I hope you can treat them the same way," Li Liu solemnly requested Elena, then turned around to leave.

"You're just going to leave without telling me who you are?"

"Think about it. We can have a proper conversation when you remember."

Li Liu pulled her suitcase, causing the wheels to make a rustling sound, along with the sound of her high heels. Elena couldn't remember when Li Liu had put on high heels. She remembered that when she had come in, Li Liu was still wearing flat shoes.

"Why would I know Li Liu?" Elena said in confusion.

Li Liu had already moved out of Elena's line of sight, but Elena was still immersed in that seductive memory.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle, she is Purple Li Liu, right?" Elena couldn't wait to confirm with her uncle when she saw Hisa enter the palace.

"She said her name is Blue Swallow."

"Blue Swallow? Then who is Purple Li Liu? Who is it?" Elena's two eyes anxiously searched around. That name kept resurfacing in her memory. Why was it this name? The face was this face, but the name was wrong. She found it strange. Was her illusion really that powerful?

"It must be the influence of the illusion. Why am I interested in such matters? Ridiculous." Elena took a deep breath and muttered to herself.

"Now that you know this name, you can search it on the internet. There should be something you can find, after all, it's the surname Purple."

"It's the surname of the Othrie royal family!"

"If you're curious, go find her and ask what you want in your heart. Suppressing it will cause problems." Hisa affectionately stroked Elena's golden hair. Elena was already a Valkyrie, but in his eyes, she was still just a little girl.

"But I still have things to do."

"Hey, don't I exist? Go ahead and do it without worry."

"No, Uncle, I..."

"I won't tell your older brother. Until we have results, we'll all still be here. Go ahead."

Elena ran out of the palace, desperate to know whether the problem lay with them or with herself. Faced with incessant doubts, she also began to question her own actions.
