Rebirth of a Cute Kid's Parallel World Adventures

Chapter 187 The mysterious old man

Flower Leaf Grass's heart leaped into her throat, and her legs involuntarily went slightly weak.

"I must hold on and not be intimidated," she kept encouraging herself.

Just as she was filled with terror, thinking that some terrible monster was about to suddenly appear from the darkness,

Suddenly, a soft yet bright blue light flashed out like lightning.

The 'blue light' was initially just a faint point, but in the blink of an eye it rapidly expanded and began to flow and 'gather' in a strange way.

"What is this light? Is it another new danger?" Flower Leaf Grass stared nervously at the ball of 'blue light,' her heart pounding with anxiety.

As time quietly passed, the mysterious 'blue light' continued to flicker and change.

The light gradually softened and converged evenly, slowly outlining a faint human figure.

The outline was initially blurry, as if shrouded in a mist, making it difficult to see the whole picture.

The foliage stared intently, not daring to blink even for a moment.

"What is this? Could it be some kind of terrifying monster? Please, it can't be anything particularly scary..."

Her heart pounded faster and faster as the light changed, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

Once the human figure's outline was fully and clearly revealed, Flower and Leaf couldn't help but let out a soft gasp in her heart.

"It was actually an elderly man with white hair!"

The old man was tall and straight, like a pine tree that had weathered the vicissitudes of time but still stood proudly.

Although he is advanced in years and his face is covered with wrinkles, he still exudes an air of otherworldly grace.

It was as if he did not belong to this mortal world, but came from a distant fairyland.

"He doesn't seem like a bad guy. I hope he can help me get out of this awful place," Flower Leaf Grass thought to herself.

He was wearing a simple and elegant white robe, the fabric of which was light and flowing, swaying gently in the faint breeze around him.

The robe is embroidered with a variety of stars and flowing cloud patterns, each star and cloud is embroidered with lifelike detail.

Under the soft blue light, these patterns shimmered with a mysterious and unpredictable luster.

It was as if each ray of light contained endless cosmic mysteries, making people want to explore them.

"This is amazing! I've never seen such beautiful and mysterious clothes before," Flower Leaf Grass exclaimed inwardly.

At the same time, the foliage breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing: "Ah, that was terrifying! Thank goodness it was a human! If it had been a monster, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"I'm already in a sorry state. If another monster comes along, I'll probably lose my life here."

Thinking back to that tense moment, her palms were still sweaty.

"I really hope he can help me, otherwise I'm truly desperate."

At this moment, her tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart.

Perhaps this old man can help her get out of this terrible predicament.

Looking at the old man's face, he appeared even more kind and gentle, with a particularly benevolent expression.

His wrinkled face wore a faint smile, a smile as warm as the winter sun.

It makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze, and a sense of closeness arises unconsciously in their hearts;

Especially those eyes, deep and wise, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

It's as if he can see through all the secrets of the world, leaving no one able to hide under his gaze.

"Those eyes seem to be able to see right through me, but they look so kind," thought the foliage.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. This place was placed under a powerful restriction by our predecessors, which is why you cannot use your own magic."

The old man's voice was deep and magnetic, seemingly carrying an innate dignity, yet it was also full of gentleness and love.

The voice was like a gentle spring breeze caressing one's face, or like a clear spring flowing gurgling in the mountains.

This caused the flowers and grass, which were originally under great mental stress and had their nerves taut like a bowstring, to relax their tense nerves slightly.

"He sounds like he knows a lot about this place, so I have hope." A glimmer of expectation ignited in Floral Grass's heart.

The tiny clump of flowers and grass slowly raised its head, its large, watery eyes fixed on the unfamiliar old man before it.

Although the other party did not seem to have any malicious intent based on their appearance and behavior,

But in this mysterious place full of unknown dangers, every unknown entity may hide a deadly crisis, so she dared not be careless in the slightest.

"What if he's a bad guy? But he doesn't look like one... No, I still have to be careful." Flower Leaf Grass was conflicted.

So, she mustered her courage and asked loudly in her childish but very loud voice, "Grandpa, who are you? And why are you here?"

Her voice echoed in the empty corridor, trembling slightly from nervousness.

"I hope my question won't upset him, and please don't ignore me," the foliage prayed silently.

The old man sighed softly, raised his head and looked up at the top of the passage, his eyes filled with vicissitudes and helplessness, as if all those past years were floating before his eyes.

He slowly said, "I was originally the guardian of this forbidden land, and I swore an oath to protect the secrets of this place and prevent 'evil' people from obtaining its power to wreak havoc on the world."

"At that time, the continent was peaceful and tranquil. I was dedicated to protecting this mysterious land and ensuring that the forbidden power was not used by those with ill intentions."

"So he's the one who protects this place. He must be a good person." Flower Leaf Grass felt a little more at ease.

"But I was framed by bad guys who plotted to trap me here for many years, making it impossible for me to escape."

"For years, I've been trapped here, watching helplessly as the outside world may change, yet I'm 'powerless' to do anything about it."

A flicker of pain and resentment flashed in the old man's eyes. "How pitiful, trapped here for so long by bad people," Flower Leaf Grass couldn't help but feel sympathy for the old man.

"You've triggered some mechanisms by trespassing here. But judging from your appearance, you seem to be someone on a mission."

As the old man spoke, his gaze fell on the small clump of flowers and grass, his eyes seeming to see right through her soul.

The flower and leaf felt that the old man had seen through all of her thoughts.

"Did he really realize I had a mission? I hope he can help me as much as possible," Flower Leaf thought nervously and expectantly.

The variegated grass's eyes lit up, as if it had grasped a lifeline in the darkness.

He hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I need to find the Fairy of Forgetfulness, destroy the Dark Magician, and save the Fantasy Continent."

"The power of dark mages is growing stronger, and they are attempting to unleash forbidden dark forces to disrupt the balance of the continent,"

"The entire continent will then be plunged into endless chaos and disaster, and countless lives will suffer as a result. Can you help me?"

The eyes of the foliage were filled with anxiety and anticipation.

"Please help me, grandpa, I'm so helpless right now," the foliage pleaded.
