Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 273 The Mysterious Song in the Heart of the Lake

Lily and the others were walking through the Lost Forest, surrounded by thick fog and extremely low visibility. The trees were towering into the sky, and the shadows were mottled, making people feel a chill. Although they were used to unusual things, this forest seemed to have an unusual magic that made people feel scared.

"Have we gone around in circles too many times?" Nana complained helplessly. She picked up a leaf and found that the back of the leaf actually said "Lose yourself, find the exit".

"This place is really overwhelming." Rhett frowned and said. He used his sword to push away the thorns in front of him, but found that there was still endless fog and tree shadows in front of him.

Arthur took out the compass he carried with him, but found that the needle kept spinning and could not indicate the direction at all. "It seems that there is magic interference in this place, and our equipment is ineffective." He sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Lily heard a soft song in her ears, the sound was ethereal and ethereal, as if it came from a faraway place. She stopped and listened carefully.

"Did you hear that?" she asked in a low voice.

"What did you hear?" Rhett asked puzzledly.

"Singing, a girl is singing." Lily whispered, and she slowly walked in the direction of the sound, and the others followed her.

As they walked forward, the singing became clearer and clearer, the voice was gentle and sad, as if telling an ancient story. The fog gradually dissipated, and they came to an open space. In the middle of the open space was an ancient stone platform, on which was placed an exquisite music box.

The music box was playing automatically, accompanied by the spinning dancing figures. Lily approached curiously and observed carefully, but suddenly heard a soft sound of footsteps. She looked up and found a little girl in a white dress standing not far away, staring blankly ahead.

"Who are you?" Lily asked tentatively.

The little girl didn't answer and continued to sing the sad song. Her voice was full of sorrow, as if she was telling a forgotten history. Lily vaguely felt that the little girl seemed to be related to the curse here.

"We need to find the key fragments. Can you tell us how to do it?" Leiter tried to break the silence.

The little girl finally stopped singing, slowly turned her head, and fixed her eyes on Lily. "You are here to break the curse, right?" Her voice was ethereal and cold.

"Yes, we want to solve the mystery here." Lily nodded firmly.

The little girl sighed softly: "I have been waiting here for a long time. Anyone who enters this forest cannot escape. Only by breaking the curse can we find the exit."

"Then what should we do?" Nana asked anxiously.

The little girl smiled and pointed to the music box on the stone platform: "This is a memory of the past, and the answer is hidden in it. But you need to be careful, each choice may lead to a different ending."

Lily took a deep breath and reached out to open the lid of the music box. Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the box and enveloped them. In an instant, the four of them felt a strong dizziness and were then teleported to an unfamiliar place.

They found themselves standing in a sea of ​​flowers, surrounded by endless colorful flowers, the air was filled with sweet floral fragrance, the sky was clear blue, the sun shone warmly on them, as if they had entered a dreamlike world.

"Where...is this?" Arthur asked puzzledly.

"This seems like an illusion." Rhett frowned. He instinctively tightened the sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the sea of ​​flowers. It was an elegant woman wearing a light blue dress and holding a silver staff in her hand. Her steps were light and there was a gentle smile on her face.

"Welcome to the fantasy world of flowers. I am the guardian here, the goddess of flowers." She said softly, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze.

Lily looked at her warily: "You are also one of the guardians, right?"

The Goddess of Flowers nodded: "Yes, you came here to find the second key fragment."

"Then how do we find it?" Nana asked curiously.

The goddess of flowers smiled and waved her hand, and a path suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​flowers. She said gently: "This path leads to three different doors. Only by choosing the right door can you find the key fragment."

"Three doors? Where do the other two doors lead to?" Rhett asked.

The goddess of flowers smiled with a hint of mystery: "That is an unknown world. There are different challenges behind each door. If you choose the wrong door, you may get lost in the illusion and never find the exit."

Lily frowned and thought for a while, then said firmly: "No matter what, we must give it a try."

The four of them walked along the path and came to an open space where three ancient wooden doors stood. Each door was carved with a different pattern, one was a flying phoenix, one was a roaring lion, and the other was an elegant swan.

"How should we choose?" Nana looked at the three doors, a little hesitant.

Lily looked up at the three doors and suddenly remembered what the little girl had said. She whispered, "She said that every choice could lead to a different outcome. We must choose carefully."

Arthur nodded: "Yes, everything here is full of traps and puzzles."

Leiter suddenly had an idea: "Perhaps, these patterns represent different personalities and powers. We can choose according to their symbolic meaning."

Lily nodded in agreement. “The phoenix symbolizes rebirth and hope, the lion symbolizes courage and strength, and the swan symbolizes grace and wisdom.”

Nana's eyes flashed with hesitation: "Then which one should we choose?"

Lily took a deep breath and said slowly: "We choose...Swan Gate."

Leiter walked forward and pushed open the swan door. Behind the door was a tranquil lake, the water was crystal clear, the sun shone on the water, and there were ripples. In the middle of the lake was a small boat floating, with a glittering object on it.

"That's the key fragment!" Nana exclaimed excitedly.

The four of them quickly boarded the boat and rowed to the center of the lake. Lily reached out and picked up the glittering object. It was indeed the second key fragment. She felt a strong energy surge into her body, as if a mysterious force was calling her.

At this moment, the lake suddenly became turbulent and the current became violent. The boat began to shake violently, and Lily and others panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.

"What's going on?" Arthur asked in horror.

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared in the lake and the boat was sucked into the whirlpool. Lily and others felt a strong pulling force that seemed to drag them into the abyss.

"Hold on! Don't let go!" Lily shouted.

The four desperately grasped the side of the boat, clinging to each other. However, the whirlpool became stronger and stronger, and their figures were gradually swallowed up. Finally, the four felt a black screen before their eyes, and fell into endless darkness.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves lying on a meadow, surrounded by bright sunshine, birds singing and flowers blooming, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"We are still alive!" Nana said in surprise.

Lily checked the key fragment in her hand and confirmed that it was still there. She smiled and said, "We succeeded. We got the second key fragment."

Lei Te looked up into the distance with a serious expression: "However, this is just the beginning. There are more challenges waiting for us ahead."

“Yes, we cannot let down our guard.

"Arthur nodded in agreement.

The four stood up and got ready. They knew that although they now had two key fragments, the real challenge was still ahead. The road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, but they were determined and would not give up easily.

Lily took a deep breath, clenched the key fragment in her hand, and said with a smile: "Let's keep moving forward. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will overcome them."
