Mr. Acorn had a somewhat serious expression after seeing the pocket watch.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Toad speak his name, his reaction was quite pronounced.
After a moment, Mr. Acorn chuckled, "Excuse me for that, Nicholas is one of the original six supreme beings of the Sixth Ring Tower, and also one of the pioneers of the Boundary Land."
"One of those six Sixth Ring Wizards?" Herag asked.
He had once read some records in the Land of Dawn, noting that the Sixth Ring Tower initially had six Sixth Ring Wizards, who were incredibly powerful.
It now seems that Nicholas is indeed one of them.
Mr. Acorn said, "That's right, when the Sixth Ring Tower entered the Abyss Plane, it relied on the six supreme beings to fend off the attacks of the Abyssal Demons, allowing the Sixth Ring Tower to barely survive. Without them, there wouldn't be the Sixth Ring Tower, nor the Boundary Land we have today."
"What happened to Nicholas afterward?" Herag asked.
Toad also looked at Mr. Acorn with curiosity, concerned about this question.
"Lord Nicholas went missing after he ventured into some regions of the Abyss Plane to fend off demons while protecting the Sixth Ring Tower," Mr. Acorn said.
Herag glanced at Toad, "Do you have any recollection?"
Toad shook his head, "I have no related memories."
Mr. Acorn studied Toad for a moment, then respectfully asked, "Do you remember your full name?"
"Nicholas Carlos Camby," Toad replied.
Mr. Acorn thought for a moment before saying, "Even if you aren't Lord Nicholas, you must have a very close connection with him. If you're willing, I can take you to the Boundary Land; perhaps many of your doubts can be answered there."
Herag looked at Toad and said, "I have no problem with that, what about you?"
"No problem," Toad nodded.
Mr. Acorn nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Once you're ready, let's go, come close to me."
Herag felt there seemed to be something more around Mr. Acorn's body, but he couldn't see or clearly perceive it.
After they moved beside Mr. Acorn, he smiled and said, "Hold on tight, gentlemen and ladies!"
Having said that, Mr. Acorn snapped his fingers.
The surrounding scene instantly twisted, with the lush forest turning into a bend of colorful oil paintings, constantly shifting and warping.
The next moment, invigorating air came rushing in, bringing a comfortable feeling just by taking a breath, filling one's mind with brightness.
Herag hadn't realized when the scene around him had changed, still in a forest, though different from the dense woods they had been in a moment ago.
This forest was full of towering trees, each requiring seven or eight adults to embrace.
The height of the trees was equally astonishing, making it impossible to see the tops. Countless interwoven branches blurred distinctions between the belonging trees.
The forest had somewhat dim lighting; although the skies were clear outside, very little sunlight penetrated through the entangled branches.
However, there were naturally luminescent mushrooms and vegetation scattered throughout the forest.
Upon seeing these glowing mushrooms, Herag had a good idea of where they were.
Dark Night Forest.
Herag had seen the interior of the Dark Night Forest through Chatiya's perspective before, which bore much resemblance to this location.
Especially the glowing mushrooms and vegetation, which were identical.
Such mushrooms and vegetation were rarely seen elsewhere in the Elf Plane; Herag had only seen them in the Dark Night Forest.
Herag glanced at Mr. Acorn ahead, curious about the means by which he transported them here.
It felt like a teleportation method that didn't require a teleportation altar, leaving Herag uncertain whether it was magic or some other method Mr. Acorn employed.
The mountain range they were previously in was eighty thousand miles from the Dark Night Forest; being able to arrive here instantly while also bringing several people surely wasn't a simple utilization of spatial rules.
"Appearing directly in someone's place isn't quite courteous, so we'll walk the rest of the journey, about ten minutes," Mr. Acorn turned back and said.
Herag had sensed that the World Mother Tree was just ahead.
The air here was astonishingly good; perhaps ordinary people living here could prolong their lives.
The density of free energy particles around was also very high; any life born in such an environment probably had excellent aptitude.
A few minutes later, Mr. Acorn led Herag and the others out of the Dark Night Forest, seeing the World Mother Tree ahead, vaguely perceiving various wooden houses built upon it.
From a distance, these wooden houses appeared small and adorable, like toys.
However, Herag, having seen them up close through Chatiya's perspective, knew the houses and palaces above were not trifles; they were much larger than most houses and palaces in the Wizard Plane.
The sheer magnitude of the World Mother Tree made the constructions atop it look toy-like.
A group of griffin-mounted elves flew over rapidly, familiar with Mr. Acorn but unfamiliar with those behind him.
This was the residence of the Elf Royal Family at the World Mother Tree, with significant security strength.
In the instant of Herag and the others' appearance, they had been detected, prompting the elves to fly over for inspection.
If not for Mr. Acorn's presence, the elves would have already taken action against the three of them.
Appearing here unannounced, regardless of the reason, was considered an unforgivable offense.
Mr. Acorn looked up and laughed, "No need to be nervous; these three are my friends."
The elf captain heading the group nodded respectfully and took a good look at Herag and the others, committing their appearances to memory before saying, "Since they are Mr. Acorn's friends, I won't intrude further."
"I've already contacted Mr. Randy and am about to meet him for a detailed discussion," Mr. Acorn said.
The elves quickly departed, asking no further information from Herag and the others.
Herag could see from this that Mr. Acorn had exceedingly high prestige here, able to bring several strangers without facing interrogation.
Mr. Acorn turned around and said, "I have some matters to handle with the Elf Race, which would usually take about a month to return. But the sudden developments force me to adjust my plans, aiming to resolve things within a few days and then take you to the Boundary Land."
The discovery of Herag holding a Sixth Ring Tower token was beyond Mr. Acorn's expectations, and the possibility of Toad being Nicholas made him pay special attention, requiring him to alter his plans.
Mr. Acorn only wished to return to the Boundary Land quickly and report this matter.
Involving those six supreme beings from back then, this was indeed one of the most critical issues for the Boundary Land.
