By the time the two returned, some time had passed.
"Brother, we found something!"
Seeing them appear, it was ALulu who came running from the lakeside.
"I-I'll go change into my swimsuit!" Zoe escaped from Li Ang's arm, completely different from her usual indifference to outsiders, and teleported on the spot, disappearing in a flurry of flower petals.
ALulu noticed Zoe's new form and her escaping demeanor, and seemed to ponder it, but said nothing as she was currently focused on the underwater matters of the treetop lake.
"What did you find?"
"This."
ALulu handed over a stone engraved with runes. Having been submerged in water for countless years, its marks had been worn down significantly, and the runes were even covered with moss. Without a careful examination, it might easily be mistaken for an ordinary stone.
Could it be that there's a Rune Stone from the Magic guided Civilization here?
"This is a small Rune Stone; its energy will deplete," Li Ang said.
