"Okay, follow me!"
"Where are we going?" Lenny asked.
"To show you where you can get Ciri's Invitation Stone, or at least a part of it."
This was the garden they had seen previously the first time he came here.
However, this was the first time that he was taking a proper look at it.
It was true that the last time, it had made a subtle impression on him.
However, it was not so much that he would focus his attention on it.
This place was huge.
It had trees and flora as high as 9 feet tall.
According to Lenny's calculations, it was not higher.
On first sight, this garden was a perfect beauty.
However, Lenny suddenly smiled.
Something was not right.
Taking a closer look, he quickly figured out what was wrong.
Although the trees and flora were beautiful, they were just too perfect.
Lenny could see that there was not one blade of leaf that was a centimeter bigger than the other.
This was the same thing for the blades of grass on the ground.
None was higher than the other.
In fact, even the flowers were the same.
All of them were in the same manner, length, and size.
It was almost as if he had entered one of those visual reality games of his former world.
It was as puzzling as it was scary.
After all, even Mother Nature was not perfect.
Even twins born to the same mother have differences.
Lenny felt as if he had entered a simulation.
In fact, he was sure that he had definitely entered a simulation.
"What are you waiting around for? Come on!" Ella invited as she took more gulps of her drink.
This garden smelled as incredible as it looked at first sight.
It was one that many would not mind sinking into for comfort and relaxation.
However, Lenny had his guard up.
He did not trust this place one bit and even instructed the system to prepare in case of an emergency situation.
Lenny followed Ella, who was now staggering as she walked.
Finally, they stopped at a portal.
This portal was the usual pinkish color.
It glowed in a low hue, like a beacon of light in the dark of the night.
Without wasting any time, Ella stepped into it.
Up to this point, Lenny had not gotten any alerts from the Satan system.
This meant that it had been safe so far.
Stepping through the portal still gave him that feeling of quick sickness, but it was far easier to bear now.
The moment Lenny came out, he was met with a gigantic tree.
This tree was as tall as a mountain, with its peak reaching the summit of the sky.
Its trunk was big and looked as if it would take twenty men holding hands to fully wrap around it.
There were leaves and flowers around the tree.
However, something was wrong.
Lenny looked at his hands, and then he frowned.
He turned to Ella, "What the fuck is going on?"
"Calm down," she said with a chuckle. It's nothing to be worried about!"
"Nothing? How can you say that?"
At the moment, they looked like game characters from Lenny's previous world.
Both of them looked like they were made of boxes.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Ella giggled loudly.
"Trust me, this is perfectly normal. You see, invitation stones have a way of protecting themselves from anyone but their invitee. They mostly do this by using some of the memories instilled in the blood essence of the millions of people that make them.
"But trust me, we are lucky. Some invitation stones practically make you believe that you are in a dream. An encounter with them could leave even the most brilliant of minds broken.
"The only reason we get this cheap knockoff of a defense is because this invitation stone is broken."
"Broken?"
"Yes, it is broken. Half of it lays on the summit of that tree, and the other half is with Ciri... The new Ciri
"With the stone, you will be able to stop Ciri."
Lenny frowned. "But how is that going to happen? Does the stone have some kind of special ability I can use or something?"
"No, silly child. Those eleven souls inside her body need to perform magic through Ciri's body. However, since the stone is connected to Ciri's body, it can help you negate her magic. All you have to do from there is connect both halves of the stone and destroy it. Once you do that, she dies. It's that easy.
"Trust me, boy. This is the only way you would be able to kill Ciri. That witch at the gate was a senior witch, and she was that strong. YOU do not want to know what an elder witch is capable of doing. What the rest of the world gives to them is not in name alone."
Lenny nodded.
However, he still looked at his body in surprise.
"Remember that physics works similar to the outside world, but your senses will make you believe otherwise; besides, the tree has guides." Ella stated.
Lenny looked up at the tree.
Indeed, it had guards.
Meanwhile, Minnie and her sisters, having gone far away, stopped.
Minnie screamed in rage.
Once again, she had lost another two sisters. One was to Ella, and the second one was to Lenny.
She was so angry, and she really wanted to vent, but there was nothing to vent on, just dry land.
Just then, her eyes fell on Athena.
Steadily, she approached her.
Athena could tell that Minnie was not in her best state of mind.
Surprisingly, Minnie did not strike her as she had thought she would.
Instead, Minnie stopped before her.
"What was that idea you had for capturing Lenny Tales? Tell me about it."
Although those were not the words Athena was expecting, it was a very good relief for her tensed state.
Even the other witches looked at Minnie in surprise, but considering what had just happened, this was not so much a bad idea...
