This was the first time Herag heard the White Deer's voice; before, the White Deer had never made a sound in front of him.

Although the White Deer's voice was melodious and pleasant, this call was incredibly sorrowful.

Perhaps because she knew she would never see Chatiya again, she felt a deep sadness from within.

The White Deer was born in the low-tier world of X-617, and she is the Child of the Plane in that world.

Chatiya was most likely her first friend since she was born.

In that world of X-617, everything is primitive, with almost no intelligent civilization appearing.

The White Deer, though leisurely in that world, must have been very lonely, as there was no life she could communicate with.

She had always been alone, living solo in that primitive world.

Captured by Herag, it was even more miserable, having to stay all the time in the desolate Black Space, occasionally contributing some blood to Herag in the early days.

But things changed after Chatiya came, for the first time the White Deer experienced the feeling of having a friend accompanying her.

For a creature like the White Deer, who roams the world alone, companionship is a luxurious thing.

That's why she would be so upset when she learned Chatiya left to go home.

Herag glanced at the White Deer, saying, "I can let you out, how about you go find Chatiya?"

The White Deer suddenly lifted her head, her eyes filled with excitement, but this expression quickly vanished, leaving only suspicion.

She doesn't trust Herag at all, nor does she have any affection for him.

It's quite understandable; after all, being kept by Herag for so long, even having her blood taken, it's naturally impossible to have favorable feelings.

Herag said, "I'm not lying to you, nor is there a need to. You're just wasting my food here; rather, you should go find Chatiya."

The White Deer was somewhat unsure but showed a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She wasn't adept at hiding her emotions, displaying everything openly.

Herag didn't care if she believed him or not and continued, "Chatiya resides in the Dark Night Forest, which is the territory of the Elf Royal Family. Once I release you, just wait outside the Dark Night Forest. Don't rush in or else any danger encountered won't be my concern."

"Though you are good at running away, remember, there are many strong beings in this world. If they catch you, it won't be like with me; at least you had food and drink."

The White Deer nodded; all she wanted now was to quickly go find Chatiya.

"Don't be hasty, let me contact Chatiya and have her prepared to receive you," Herag said.

He then began to contact Chatiya, "That silly doe, I'm preparing to release her; she'll wait for you outside the Dark Night Forest. You could arrange to have people waiting outside. She's fast, shouldn't take long to arrive."

"Silly doe? Do you mean Annie?" Chatiya was slow to react initially.

Herag said, "Yes, it's that White Deer. Anyway, she wastes food with me, and I see you quite like her, so how about letting her find you on her own?"

"Really! Thank you, sir! I'll go wait for her immediately! But sir, when will you come back to see me?" Chatiya asked.

Herag said, "Hmm... hard to say, unclear when I'll be back, but I'll contact you then."

"Ah... but I miss you, sir." Chatiya murmured.

"If you miss me, just talk to me like this." Herag said.

"But I want to hug you, sir!"

…

Herag is currently in a small town, about a week's journey from Evans County.

But that's calculated by carriage speed; with the White Deer's speed, it surely shouldn't take that long.

Chatiya quickly set off, accompanied by guards of the Elf Race.

After returning to the inn, Herag glanced outside; the sky was about to darken.

He went to the wilds outside the small town, found a secluded small grove, and took out the Black Space.

With a thought, Herag summoned the White Deer from the Black Space, standing on the grass in front of him.

As soon as the White Deer stood on the ground, the entire area disappeared, then reappeared several hundred meters away, looking distantly at Herag.

She stared at the black sphere in Herag's hand, her gaze filled with fear.

The White Deer remembered very clearly that it was this black sphere that had captured her years ago and kept her confined until now.

With the rare chance to see daylight again, she naturally did not want to return to that barren, lifeless place.

Seeing the White Deer's wary expression towards him, Herag smiled and said, "Rest assured, I won't use this thing to lock you up again."

After saying this, he put the Black Space into the Space Ring, but the White Deer still remained wary, staying far away.

Judging by her appearance, she seemed ready to flee at any moment.

Over the years, the White Deer had grown much bigger, evidently more mature and stronger.

It can be imagined that the White Deer must have significantly increased her mastery of Spatial Rules.

At this moment, catching her again would likely be much more difficult, Herag even thought the Black Space might no longer be useful.

"Don't rush to leave." Herag quickly said as he noticed she wanted to run.

Herag then took out a map and said, "You don't even know where the Dark Night Forest is; how are you going there?"

After he spoke, the White Deer understood; she only realized then that she had no idea where the Dark Night Forest was.

Herag pointed to a spot on the map, saying, "This is our current position, and here is the location of the Dark Night Forest. I know you understand, you should be able to read the map, right? Memorize the location well. If you get lost, that won't be my concern."

The White Deer stared diligently at the map from afar, and even at such a distance, she preferred to look longer rather than get closer.

It seems Herag left too deep an impression, leaving her on high alert against him.

Herag asked, "Got it memorized?"

The White Deer nodded slightly.

Herag then pointed west, saying, "Head in this direction, you'll reach the position of the Dark Night Forest, understand?"

The White Deer nodded, glanced at Herag, then the west, and then her figure disappeared.

Herag could only sense a slight fluctuation of Spatial Rules, he was also astonished.

The White Deer had clearly become very proficient in her control of Spatial Rules.

When the White Deer traveled through space, the Spatial Rules hardly fluctuated.

If Herag himself were not quite familiar with Spatial Rules, he would have found it hard to detect even this slight fluctuation.

Like a highly skilled diving athlete, who enters the water with barely a splash.

Looking to the west, Herag, through Shenlan's perception, saw the White Deer appear thousands of meters away.

After landing and glancing around, the White Deer then swiftly traversed again, completely disappearing from Shenlan's detection range.
