The waterfall in front blocks the way to the canyon. Because it is winter, the flow of the waterfall is not large, like a sparse door curtain more than 20 meters wide. This is the end of the canyon. The cliff of the magnificent barrier is just behind the waterfall, less than a hundred meters at most. Looking over the waterfall, you can also see the water gathering in the cracks of the cliff and splashing down. The members of the adventure team stopped in disappointment on the river beach, but Leo did not give up and walked towards the waterfall alone. Following the guidance of the light, Leo walked in the shallow river water to the waterfall, gently pushed aside the water curtain, and then disappeared behind the stone wall. The companions in the adventure group were horrified. Barrett rushed to the waterfall first and reached out to grope behind the water curtain, but he could only touch the cold rock wall. He groped his way along the water line of the waterfall to the middle of the river, until the water was deep enough to submerge his chest, and then he returned to the shore in disappointment. Barrett, who was soaking wet, shook his head while shaking the water off, "There is no entrance." Denise looked at the waterfall, trying to find any signs of human intervention, but found nothing. In the end, she could only guess: "It must be some kind of magic. Perhaps you need some kind of permission to enter." She was excited but also extremely disappointed.
What’s exciting is that this really seems to be the atrium! Disappointingly, even though we had reached the entrance, there was no way to get in, or even take a look. Leo walked into the waterfall and his view suddenly opened up. In front of me is a huge round lake, and under my feet is a white stone bridge that is more than 20 meters wide. The stone bridge is like a rainbow, straight across the round lake and all the way to the other side. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon gradually become lower and narrow around the round lake, finally converging at the end of the stone bridge, revealing a circular natural doorway below. The magnificent cliff that was originally within reach suddenly shrank back several miles, and an elf city with tall and beautiful buildings suddenly appeared in front of Leo! This elf-style city was built on a cliff behind a stone bridge archway. It was divided into several floors. The lowest building was at least one hundred meters above the rock wall, while the palace at the top was at least five hundred meters high. On the commanding heights on both sides of the canyon, towering elven sentry towers stand, extending out of the canyon. Those are the stone pillars! Denise’s guess was correct. Those huge weathered stone pillars that the adventure group explored on the top of the mountain above the canyon yesterday were indeed the elves’ watchtowers! It's just disguised by magic, making it impossible to tell the difference. Leo had only seen this kind of magnificent and fantastic city in fantasy movies in his previous life. Atrium! Ancient elven city! Trying hard to digest the strong visual impact brought by the city, Leo took a few steps forward and then looked back. There is no waterfall behind you. The river outside and the round lake inside are a parallel whole, which is the outlet for the quiet flow of lake water. Seen from the inside, the water line of the waterfall is just a curtain of rain falling from the sky, like the water line flowing down the glass on a rainy day, making the outside world a little blurry. Barrett's figure was groping in vain behind the glass. "System prompt: Welcome to the magnificent elven city atrium! Now, start your greatest exploration!"
Looking at the disappointed expressions of his companions, Leo asked in his heart: "System, can you unlock the permissions of my companions?" "no." "But they also help fight off the orcs." "..." After more than ten seconds of silence, the system's cold voice came again: "Mission update: Take off all your clothes, run naked around the lake three times, and then kiss your companion." “Mission Reward: Unlock your companion’s access rights.” Leo pulled a face, "Are you kidding me?" The system did not respond. Leo had no choice but to move forward and explore on his own. But he couldn't cross the stone bridge, because at the end of the stone bridge, under the huge circular doorway, a giant bear of terrifying size was lurking there, blocking the way to the courtyard! “Mission update: Put a sack on the evil giant bear and bang her on the head!” “Mission Reward: Unlock your companion’s access rights.” Leo walked over angrily, grabbed the thick cheek of the "Evil Giant Bear", and said angrily: "Freya! Aren't you traveling with Master Bobak? Why are you hiding here and sleeping in?" Freya had her cheek pinched by Leo, and she was drooling and rolling her eyes, like a sleeping husky. Ten seconds passed before Freya's eyes gradually cleared up. After seeing Leo clearly, she excitedly struggled to get up and pretended to pounce on Leo. "Leorio! I miss you so much!" Leo quickly pressed her forehead. He couldn't withstand the pressure of the two-ton behemoth. "You haven't answered my question yet! Where's your teacher? Why are you hiding here?" Freya was about to cry out of grievance, "My teacher is a bad teacher. He doesn't even give me food! I haven't eaten for a long time. Look, I've become skinny due to hunger!" Leo looked at her carefully and found that Freya was indeed thinner and a little shorter than when she was in River Bend. At this time, the system in Leo's mind was still constantly updating the tasks, and the voice lost its previous ethereal indifference and carried some emotion. “Mission update: Kick the evil giant bear into Moon Lake and feed her to the fish!” "Mission Reward: Unlock your companion's access rights!" Leo thought about it, and suddenly kicked out, successfully kicking the defenseless Freya into the lake! System: "Ah? You really want to kick me?" Freya rolled and struggled in panic in the lake, choking on water several times before she sat up. The lake was not deep, and even when Freya sat in the lake with her huge body, the water only covered her belly. Seeing Freya's puzzled look, Leo quickly taught her a lesson: "How can you say that about your teacher behind his back! He is the great druid Master Bobak who is admired by everyone!" Freya lowered her head guiltily, holding her belly with her paws, and muttered, "But I'm so hungry! The teacher went to the northern snowfield and said it was too dangerous and refused to take me with him. He left me here alone without giving me any food!"
Leo shouted in his heart: "Master Bobak! Hey hey hey!" Whether it is the appearance of the system or the appearance of Freya, it is all too strange! If Leo used to be like a normal person, knowing nothing about his own soul, now after a long-term soul connection with Master Bobak and being struck by the sword of the Sword Master, Leo's spiritual perception has become exceptionally sharp. He could vaguely feel that there seemed to be an invisible curtain in his mind, and his inner cries were blocked within the curtain, echoing in his mind but not reaching outside the curtain. The simplest evidence was that even though Freya was standing in front of him, the soul connection between them was ineffective. At this moment, the curtain in Leo's mind was opened by a soft but tenacious external force, and Master Bobak's gentle voice came in: "Al, stop playing." System: “Hehe!”
