Amelia had no idea how Carlotta managed to advance both her primary and secondary paths at the same pace, it was simply incredible.

Moreover, her secondary Elven Knight path clearly surpassed her primary Card Magic, even though the Card Magic possesses several high-rank cards.

Amelia merely sighed in admiration, not pressing further for answers.

"When do you plan to go to Island 97 to meet that Elven lady?"

Amelia asked.

"She said anytime tomorrow would be fine, and I told her I'd come as early as possible, so... how about we go at midnight?"

Carlotta blinked her eyes.

"You seem really excited."

Amelia smiled.

"Of course. For me, that's the path toward the future."

Carlotta replied with a bright smile.

Island 97 wasn't particularly close. Among the many islands of the Bass Archipelago, it ranks among the smallest, located rather far away.

So Carlotta immediately checked out of Sunrise Hotel with Amelia, then left Island 1.

They didn't use the inter-island ships. Instead, wings grew from their backs, and they flew directly into the vast night sky above the ocean.

Island after island, each displaying its own unique style, gradually appears beneath them.

The islands varied in size, scattered unevenly like scattered points of light, creating this incredibly vibrant region.

Since it was still a few hours until midnight, Carlotta didn't fly at top speed. Instead, she held Amelia's hand, leisurely gliding through the sky.

Moonlight, stars, ocean, islands, lights.

Such scenery and atmosphere carried an intoxicating charm, and Carlotta herself became somewhat enchanted.

When they passed over some bustling islands, they occasionally descended to buy drinks or snacks. Once, passing by an island hosting a performance at an opera house, they even stopped to listen to the opera for a while.

Their demeanor was relaxed and carefree, bearing no burdens, traversing this vast world with an attitude of enjoyment.

Gradually, midnight arrived.

Carlotta hadn't yet reached Island 97, but there was no need to rush. She could first finish reviewing today's intelligence reports.

[ 1: After failing to find the killer of Dale Castro, some people from the Mechanical Fortress began blaming Layla, thinking that if she had sold Dale a bottle of Source of Life, perhaps certain unfortunate events could have been avoided.]

Carlotta was speechless.

She had predicted it exactly. These people from the Mechanical Fortress were really going to blame her. She felt both exasperated and somewhat angry.

'You'd better not appear before me, or I'll kill you on the spot. Do you really think I'm easy to mess with?'

Carlotta thought silently.

[ 2: The following are recommended foods and drinks worth trying across the Bass Archipelago:...]

The second report made Carlotta nod in satisfaction.

Similar reports had appeared before, but they were limited to Island 9. This time, the information covered all islands within the Bass Archipelago.

Any food or drink listed here undoubtedly possesses exceptional taste, well worth visiting, and also makes excellent spots for dates.

Thinking of this, Carlotta couldn't help pulling Amelia closer and kissing her on the cheek, instantly making Amelia blush.

"Suddenly, what was that for?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to kiss you."

Carlotta smiled.

They danced through the air, like butterflies gracefully flying away beneath the moonlight.

[ 3: A group of people infiltrated Island 97, pretending to be tourists, but are actually sent by Valerie Graham's enemies, intending to investigate the condition of Valerie's injuries in preparation for future actions. The list of these individuals is as follows:...]

Seeing this, Carlotta was somewhat surprised.

Valerie's enemies? Could they be the ones who injured Valerie?

The report didn't clearly identify who these enemies were, but Carlotta's expression turned serious. She realized this wasn't a simple matter, considering they were capable of injuring Valerie.

However, judging from their need to investigate Valerie's injuries, their own condition was probably not good, and they were extremely concerned about Valerie's recovery.

Carlotta glanced at the list that appeared. Should she take action herself and eliminate these people for Valerie? Or should she inform Valerie and let her handle it personally?

She didn't know whether the appearance of these people would disrupt the subsequent parts of her learning the Elven Knight path from Valerie.

Carlotta silently kept it in mind, then looked at what followed... Hmm, nothing more. Only three reports today.

Soon after, Carlotta and Amelia flew near Island 97.

Looking down, they could take in the entire Island 97. As one of the smallest islands in the Bass Archipelago, Island 97 was indeed very tiny.

However, the island looked lush and green, covered with vegetation that extended even to the beaches.

The population wasn't large, with dwellings located deep within the forest. Many treehouses were built among the trees, living in harmony with nature, appearing extremely serene.

'Come to think of it, Valerie Graham only told me to come to Island 97 to find her, but didn't specify an exact location. Does she mean she'll know the moment I arrive?'

Carlotta wondered.

Although the island wasn't large, surely that lady wouldn't constantly monitor every location?

Regardless, Carlotta descended with Amelia, stepping onto this island rich in natural scenery.

Inside the forest, numerous small paths crisscrossed, connecting different treehouses.

Some treehouses served as shops, selling various daily necessities. Compared to the larger islands, they seemed somewhat modest, but they could still meet basic living needs.

Such small islands rarely attracted visitors, those who came usually just sightseeing or cultivating their spirit, without staying long, so the population remains small.

Carlotta passed by a shop. The shopkeeper inside couldn't even be bothered to greet her, engaged in reading a novel with great interest.

However, when Carlotta expressed her intention to buy something, the shopkeeper would put down the book, quickly complete the transaction, then return to reading.

Eating snacks from Island 97, Carlotta and Amelia wandered around, yet still didn't see Valerie come to meet them. This made Carlotta fall into deep thought.

Could it be... Valerie hadn't returned yet?

Thinking carefully, it wasn't strange. When she left Helen's birthday party, Valerie hadn't left yet. Although she herself hadn't rushed, she had arrived here steadily.

"Looks like we'll have to wait. Let's find a place to rest first."

Carlotta whispered softly.

Island 97 also offered treehouse rentals.

Carlotta chose a treehouse beside a lakeside. The water reflects the stars and moon, shimmering with scattered lights, momentarily giving Carlotta the illusion of returning to Starlight Sea.

She sat atop the treehouse with Amelia, leaning close together, whispering sweet words.

In this regard, Amelia was undoubtedly defenseless. Even though Carlotta, as a transmigrator, had a blank slate in personal emotional experiences, she still understood more from what she'd absorbed in her past life. With just a few sentences, she made Amelia blush.

"Baby, you're like a sweet little cake."

Carlotta tilted up Amelia's chin and said.

Amelia's face flushed red. She'd never heard such words before, and felt deeply overwhelmed.

"Stop... Don't say such weird things anymore. It feels so strange."

Amelia couldn't help but protest.

"Are you shy?"

Carlotta smiled.

"Maybe... It's not because I'm shy."

Amelia looked awkward.

If not shyness, then what?

Carlotta was slightly puzzled. She remembered that in her previous life, people in relationships often called each other "baby." She had just suggested this, expressing her desire to call Amelia "baby" from now on, but Amelia had flatly rejected it.

"Isn't being called baby nice?"

"It's too weird. It feels awkward."

"Really?"

Carlotta scratched her head. Could it be that people in this world were too conservative, unable to accept a term like "baby"?

Amelia said seriously, "Just call me Amelia, Carlotta."

"Fine."

Carlotta still felt a bit disappointed.

...

Meanwhile,

Valerie was on her way back. As a powerful individual, her flight speed wasn't slow, but she wasn't flying at full speed toward Island 97 either, since she didn't expect Carlotta to arrive at the meeting point so early.

She flew intermittently, and it wasn't until quite some time later that she reached Island 97.

Upon arriving above the island, she spread her perception outward, using some mysterious method to quickly grasp the island's current situation.

"Many people have arrived. Are they sent by that person? To have them investigate my condition... isn't that a bit ridiculous? Can they even accomplish it?"

Valerie thought to herself.

At the same time, she also detected the presence of Carlotta and Amelia, feeling somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Carlotta to arrive so quickly.

"So she meant 'arriving early' like this?"

Valerie was momentarily speechless.

On her way here, she had already drunk the Life Source, and her injuries had rapidly healed completely. Therefore, she definitely intended to fulfill Carlotta's request to the best of her abilities.

Without delay, she flew quickly into the island and approached Carlotta and Amelia, just in time to overhear some of their intimate conversation.

These two... weren't they rumored to be sisters? How could they be in such a relationship?

Valerie nearly lost her composure, especially after hearing Carlotta's romantic words, which sent goosebumps all over her body.

Are today's young people really this mushy?

She glanced at Carlotta and Amelia, her eyes flickering with thought, gradually revealing a contemplative expression.

"So they're using some to conceal their true appearances... Their current looks are fake..."

Valerie's strength was truly exceptional, seeing through issues that others couldn't perceive.

But she didn't dwell on it. Concealing one's identity while traveling wasn't strange, it was simply a matter of safety.

She wouldn't investigate their true identities. As long as she could properly teach the Elven Knight path, that was sufficient.

With that in mind, Valerie approached the two.

"Ms. Graham!"

When Valerie flew over, Carlotta and Amelia naturally noticed her immediately.

Valerie's expression was calm. She touched around and said, "The environment here is acceptable. I'll teach you the Elven Knight path here... Hmm, do you need to start learning immediately?"

Mainly because it was already late at night, Valerie was wondering whether Carlotta wanted to sleep.

But Carlotta smiled and said, "I'll learn right now."

In her eyes, anticipation was brimming.

Seeing this, Valerie nodded and began explaining the Elven Knight path.

First, she naturally covered the Apprentice-level content, which was somewhat different from what Carlotta had learned before, it was the Elven version.

Even though Carlotta had already mastered the human version, she listened attentively, mentally recording this part of the content, which might help her in understanding the Resonator stage later.

Valerie didn't know how proficient Carlotta was with Elven Knight path, so she explained each section in considerable detail. Just the Apprentice portion took two hours.

Then, the Listener stage took another hour to fully explain.

Next came the Resonator stage.

"The progression from Apprentice to Listener actually forms a single whole, expressed through the Elven Steel, divided into twelve parts. But from here on, it's no longer part of the Twelve Echoes of Elven Steel, it's the Mythic Battle diagram section. By evolving ancient myths, you gain the power of myth to strengthen yourself."

Valerie told Carlotta that each Mythic Battle diagram was extremely profound, involving the evolution of gods recorded in Elven history.

In human history, apart from the sunken Eastern Continent, there were few descriptions of gods. But Elves did have such records. Still, the Elves' gods seemed elusive, not quite real, more like fictional creations.

Valerie herself admitted that Elves didn't know whether these gods actually existed, but as long as they could use them for cultivation, that was enough.

"The first Mythic Battle diagram is the Harvest Goddess diagram."

Valerie began explaining earnestly.

The so-called Harvest Goddess diagram corresponded to the early tier Resonator stage. Once activated, it will undergo extremely mysterious transformations.

Here, Valerie's expression grew even more serious as she said, "You must remember, when mastering the Mythic Battle diagrams, even if different people learn the same diagram, the combat techniques they derive from it will vary."

Valerie used her magic power to construct the Harvest Goddess diagram, generating an image before Carlotta's eyes. A scene of golden rice fields appears, and a goddess with indistinct features flew across the sky. It seemed that because of her, the fields displayed a scene of abundant harvest.

At this stage, instruction was no longer textual, it was the Mythic Battle diagram itself. Only those who have mastered the Mythic Battle diagram could construct it.

Carlotta stared intently at the Harvest Goddess diagram, remembering it desperately.

"It won't be easy for you to understand the Harvest Goddess diagram, so don't be too hasty. I'll teach you properly from now on. Under normal circumstances, one month should be enough for you to comprehend it."

Valerie said.
