The fleeting chill quickly dissipated, and Chatiya didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

The blue butterfly paused for a moment on Chatiya's forehead before flapping its wings and floating away.

It flitted around Chatiya, continuously scattering blue specks of light from its wings.

These specks vanished upon contact with Chatiya's skin, leaving her without any sensation or understanding of their purpose.

As the blue specks dispersed, the butterfly gradually turned into a phantom until it became a stream of blue light.

This blue light danced briefly in the air before flying towards Mr. Acorn.

Mr. Acorn still held the test tube, and the blue light flew directly into it.

He looked at the test tube in front of him, his fingers shaking as he swirled the blue liquid inside, then smiled in satisfaction and, tilting his head back, drank the blue liquid directly.

After drinking the blue liquid, Mr. Acorn closed his eyes, savoring it as if it were fine wine, with a slightly intoxicated expression.

Moments later, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Apart from some remnants of the Master-Servant Contract, there's nothing wrong. Princess Chatiya is quite safe."

After hearing Mr. Acorn's words, Randy, Alina, and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Wizard you mentioned is indeed sincere and hasn't tampered with you," Randy said.

"Of course, the Lord treats me well, I've said that before," Chatiya spoke positively of Herag again.

Glancing at Mr. Acorn, Chatiya then asked, "Mr. Acorn, where are you from? It seems that my father and others trust you greatly."

Mr. Acorn looked at Randy, seemingly seeking his opinion.

Randy smiled, "Since there's no threat to Chatiya now, there's no harm in speaking openly."

As a princess of the Elf Royal Family, Chatiya naturally had the right to know many secrets.

Mr. Acorn was filled with mystery; it was unimaginable how a Wizard would appear in this place.

"I come from the Boundary Land," Mr. Acorn replied with a smile.

Chatiya asked curiously, "What is the Boundary Land?"

Having grown up in the Elf Plane, Chatiya wasn't always at play; she was taught by elders within the tribe who imparted various courses and knowledge.

Thus, Chatiya had a certain understanding of the Elf Plane, and she definitely hadn't heard of a place called the Boundary Land.

"You can think of the Boundary Land as another Plane, different from both the Elf Plane and the Wizard Plane," Mr. Acorn explained.

"Another Plane..." Chatiya nodded, half-understanding.

Near Evans County was a small town where Herag sat in an inn, quietly observing Chatiya's situation.

When Mr. Acorn used the blue butterfly, Herag was concerned that his Divine State's surveillance might be discovered.

Fortunately, it seemed from the results that it hadn't been detected.

This divine state was rather unique; it's theoretically undetectable unless there was some contract or trickery signed with Chatiya.

Hearing the words "Boundary Land," Herag was also puzzled since he hadn't heard of a Plane called by that name.

After becoming an Expedition Team member, he had reviewed plenty of resources within the team and gained some understanding of many Planes.

But he had genuinely never heard of a Plane called the Boundary Land.

Herag was also cautious about communicating with Chatiya at this point to avoid alerting Mr. Acorn.

He couldn't assume that just because Mr. Acorn hadn't detected him, communicating with Chatiya would also go undetected.

Although Mr. Acorn's entire presence was very subdued, almost impossible to gauge his strength.

Judging from Randy, Alina, and other Royal Family members' attitudes towards Mr. Acorn, he must be a Wizard of immense power.

Faced with such a Wizard, Herag knew he must proceed with extreme caution and couldn't act rashly.

"Boundary Land? What a peculiar name, Mr. Acorn. Can you tell me more about it?"

Although Herag didn't ask, Chatiya knew he must be eager to learn more, so she initiated the question.

Mr. Acorn sheepishly scratched the back of his head, saying, "I'm truly sorry, Princess Chatiya, but it's not possible to reveal too much now. If there comes a day when our Boundary Land confirms cooperation with your Elf Plane, I'll personally show you around the Boundary Land."

"Cooperation? Father, what are you planning to cooperate on?" Chatiya asked.

Randy replied, "The Boundary Land will bring us knowledge and resources to help us repel the Wizard Plane's invasions. In return, we are to provide them with a seed of the World Tree to plant in the Boundary Land. Additionally, we will establish friendly trade exchanges for mutual prosperity."

Mr. Acorn smiled, "Our Boundary Land has always sought to resolve issues on Civilization Planes through peaceful means, unlike the Wizards of the Wizard Plane who are cruel and violent. Thus, I hope you will consider our cooperation matter seriously, Mr. Randy."

Randy nodded, "I will certainly contemplate this matter seriously, and I am very willing to cooperate with you."

...

After resolving the threat to Chatiya, Mr. Acorn left, not disturbing the family's reunion.

In any case, he was staying here for the time being, and the details of cooperation needed to be discussed slowly.

"Father, you haven't agreed to what I asked you yet!" Chatiya said, holding Randy's arm.

"What is it?" Randy asked.

"The Lord saved me and brought me home; if he wants to visit here in the future, you won't turn him away, right?" Chatiya said.

After thinking for a moment, Randy replied, "Of course not. I swear by the name of the Elf King that as long as he doesn't harm our Elf Race in the future, I will not trouble him and welcome him to visit here. How about that, are you relieved now?"

"Hehe!" Chatiya laughed happily.

Since Randy promised that, he certainly wouldn't go back on his word, as he was the Elf King.

Randy truly felt that way; as far as Chatiya mentioned, it was just a Level 2 Wizard.

A Level 2 Wizard wouldn't cause much trouble in the Dark Night Forest, and since he had helped his daughter, Randy wouldn't retaliate with violence.

The Elf Race essentially loves peace and isn't keen on slaughter.

Herag sitting in the inn felt slightly reassured after seeing this.

What he wanted was merely Randy's attitude. Truly, Herag wouldn't dare stay in the Dark Night Forest.

After all, people are unpredictable, and Herag didn't dare reside in the Dark Night Forest, which was the Elf Race's base and home to a formidable World Tree.

Before gaining enough strength on par with Mr. Acorn, Herag wouldn't dare step into the Dark Night Forest.

Only when he became like that Wizard, Mr. Acorn, could he enter at will.
