More than twenty days later.

The caravan continued to move through the mountain forest, surrounded by towering, lush trees.

Herag lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced outside, where towering trees filled his view.

The trees here were obviously many times larger than those in other places, having grown for countless years.

Herag checked the map, realizing that they were already within the range of Miracle Valley and would reach their destination shortly.

He could feel that the concentration of energy particles here was many times higher than the outside world.

Herag took a deep breath, feeling completely refreshed.

The air here was exceptionally fresh and pleasant, as if one breath could sweep away much of the fatigue from his body.

From a livability standpoint, this place was utterly suited for living, with great environmental conditions.

Reese and David also noticed the anomaly here, with energy particle concentrations significantly higher, and the energy particles were more active.

Using magic in such an environment would considerably speed up casting.

"No wonder the Elf Race is so adept at using magic, with such a good environment, even a pig would be able to use magic," Reese remarked.

Herag nodded, understanding why the wizards from the Wizard Plane were so eager to seize the World Tree.

To wizards and casters, the World Tree was simply the most precious treasure.

After the caravan crossed a hill, a shocking scene unfolded before Herag and his companions.

In the distant sky, a massive tree shot straight into the clouds.

The height of the tree could no longer be estimated by sight because its trunk soared endlessly into the sky, with no end in sight.

The canopy was equally vast, blocking out a large portion of the sky as if it covered the heavens.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the canopy, forming beams of light.

This was the World Tree of the Elf Race.

The World Tree of Miracle Valley stood in the deepest part of Miracle Valley.

Though Herag and his companions could see the World Tree from where they were, it was still a far distance away.

Miracle Valley itself was enormous, and the caravan only conducted trade in the outer regions, unable to venture deeper.

Seeing the terrain, Herag quickly understood the difficulty Parker had mentioned about this mission.

Miracle Valley was too large, and the true Elf Race resided beneath the World Tree in its deepest part.

If Herag randomly placed teleportation coordinates in three locations outside Miracle Valley, Parker and his team wouldn't be able to directly threaten the Elves here.

Rather, they might end up encircled by the Elves.

To truly make use of the teleportation coordinates, they needed to be inserted deep within Miracle Valley, directly into the everyday living area of the Elves.

But not even Herag, as an adventurer, let alone members of the caravan, could approach that area.

That area was completely off-limits to outsiders, making entry through normal means impossible.

If Herag and his companions wanted to complete the mission, they would have to risk infiltrating Miracle Valley and then plant the teleportation coordinates.

But the Elves deep in Miracle Valley were protected by elders and chiefs, powerful beings who might not be weaker than Parker.

Inserting the teleportation coordinates right under the nose of such level casters and then escaping unscathed was, for all intents and purposes, an impossibility.

Reese and David quickly realized that the difficulty of this mission far exceeded their imagination.

The chance of the three of them completing this mission unscathed was almost zero; casualties were almost certain, and they might not succeed even if the entire team was wiped out.

Because they not only had to plant the teleportation coordinates but also ensure that they wouldn't be discovered.

Otherwise, even if planted, they would be removed in no time, rendering them useless.

Reese felt a bit uneasy at heart; having just started being with Herag, encountering such a situation was upsetting.

"Herag, I'll infiltrate and do the mission. You and Reese should leave," David said after a moment of silence, taking the initiative.

David thought that since he was alone, dying inside didn't matter.

They all came from the Cheqi Family; as long as one person could safely survive for a year and return, it would be sufficient to enter the Land of Dawn.

In David's eyes, such a deal was worth it, even though it required sacrificing himself.

Reese was of his cousin's generation, so naturally, he couldn't let her do such a thing.

And Herag, being Larry's student and not bound by contract with the Cheqi Family, wasn't really obliged.

Reese liked Herag so much that the two of them obviously weren't suited for taking risks.

Overall, only David was the most suitable to undertake this task.

Herag patted David on the shoulder: "David, thank you, but there's no need. I already have another way. None of us need to sacrifice, nor will we take risks."

Herag appeared to have a well-thought-out plan, calm and unflustered.

His composure reassured David and Reese; since Herag spoke with such confidence, he must have a degree of certainty and wouldn't speak recklessly.

Reese curiously asked, "What method is it?"

Herag shook his head and said, "You don't need to know what method it is. Just leave it to me; I'll take care of it."

Activating the bloodline mark and becoming a royal elf was something he certainly couldn't tell these two, and it had to be kept secret.

Unless there were special circumstances, Herag did not plan on telling anyone about his bloodline mark.

Even when being intimate with Reese, he had hidden his bloodline mark, ensuring she didn't see it.

"You're not planning to..." Reese was somewhat worried Herag intended to go on the adventure alone.

Herag patted her head: "Don't worry, I treasure my life more than you do; I won't act recklessly. Trust me, I wouldn't say so without confidence."

After he said this, David and Reese didn't say more.

Since arriving in the Elf Plane, David and Reese had come to recognize Herag's exceptional combat skills, keen judgment, and enormous potential.

Even Parker, a Level 3 Wizard, showed interest in Herag.

David and Reese had nearly unconditional trust in Herag. If Herag said he had confidence, then he had confidence.

The caravan slowly descended, entering the plain area within Miracle Valley.

The caravan slowly made its way along the main road into a town.

This was the only town within Miracle Valley where humans were allowed to live and operate; the caravan's goods were primarily sold here.

The town's management was taken care of by the Elves because they needed many goods from the outside world, so Elves were stationed here to manage the town for an extended period.

Ruby Commerce Association had a large shop here, also offering inn services.

After arriving in front of the Ruby Commerce Association shop, Radoy got off the carriage and began directing the caravan to unload goods while organizing accommodation and other arrangements for the personnel.
