173 Stolen by cat...

In the foggy sky, a few spots of light moved in a current direction...

The area around could hardly be seen because of the fog around, while the air around was quite cold... Yet this didn't stop the light to move forward on top of this cold forest...

But as the light was moving on... Something weird happened in the void on its way...

The space in front of it suddenly twisted and a white figure appeared out of nowhere...

*TGIIN*

And naturally, the light clashed with this figure which made both of them fell down directly...

*TISHH*

As the two lights fell down, the two of them fell into the lake in the middle of the forest under them...

*TISH* And soon after two figures came out from the water and pointed something at each other...

"Umm... Yo, Legolas..." Gray who was already wet because of the water looked at Legolas who was holding an arrow in his hand almost piercing him and said with an awkward tone...

"You?" But Legolas didn't recognize him directly and looked at the small figure that was also holding a sharp short sword a few inches from his neck with uncertainty...

"Gray?...." Both Legolas and Gray looked at each other for a few seconds till finally, Legolas asked Gray with a rather doubtful tone...

"Yes... It's me..." Gray nodded his small face and answered with an awkward tone...

This situation... so awkward...

Both Gray and Legolas took their weapons back and looked at each other...

How? why?... Legolas wanted to ask many things that he didn't know where he should start!

But in the end, he actually moved forward and hugged Gray...

"Oy... Don't... Legolas... we are wet... Damn, I didn't know you were a hugger..." Though he said this, Gray didn't dodge Legolas and hugged him back...

"Good to see you safe... my friend..." Legolas moved back and said with a deep sigh of relief...

"Yeah..." Gray said while walking out of the lake they were in...

"Gray, what happened to you, how did you appear like this?" Legolas also came out and asked Gray while looking at him upside down...

Though he wanted to ask many other things... But this was the first thing he asked... And it was completely normal...

"When I came back, I found myself like this...And how I appeared... I used magic..." Gray answered Legolas in the same way he answered Mary before...

"Oh? Magic? When did you learn Magic?" Legolas heard Gray's answer and asked oddly...

He wasn't new for magic... His father was able to use some weird magic before, and he met a few wizards in the middle-earth who can do weird things...

And as much as he knows, Gray's ability to teleport relies on his own shadow movements and has nothing to do with magic...

"This... In the last four years, I learned magic..." Gray thought for a second and said...

"Huh?" Legolas couldn't understand... Four years? not four days?

"Gray... Mary found the g... Oh... LEGOLAS!!!" But before they continue, Perona suddenly appeared beside Gray in her ghost form and wanted to tell him about something but when she saw the handsome tall man beside Gray she paused and shouted...

"Perona?" And Legolas saw Perona wearing a wizard hat floating beside Gray and called her with surprise!

Especially the hat surprised him... When did Perona become a wizard?

"Legolas brother! Your safe, that's good!" Perona flew to his side and said with tears in her eyes...

"But... Why wet?" However, she soon stopped and looked at Gray and Legolas with odd eyes and forgot the reason she appeared...

What was happening here?

Go back in time before appearing in front of Legolas...

...

...

After a night of rest...

Gray and the others moved in their way toward Legolas's direction...

Along the way, Gray and Perona showed Mary the ring castle, their new home to Mary... Which shocked her almost speechless...

After all, Gray's castle was simply a wonderland!

After showing her around, he also marked her hand with the same mark he planted on Perona...

When Mary understood the mark factions, she directly abandoned the small space pocket she was using before and threw all her things in the castle, and started using the mark Gray gave her to test how she could get her thing in and out...

"So basically, anything I touch will be sent here... doesn't that mean that I can steal anything I want without being noticed?" Mary started doing experiments with a fun spirit and said...

'So *original* way of thinking....' For What Mary said, Gray couldn't help but joke inside his head...

Though he and Perona actually used it like this already...

But while looking at Mary jumping around his castle, Gray saw something that made him freeze in his place for a few moments...

Something he ridiculously ignored...

A card... A big white card that was extremely familiar to him after using it for four years...

A whole lucky card...

The moment he saw it, Gray almost slapped himself...

This cheating thing was beside him and he actually overlooked it...

Baccarat didn't give it to him and Perona only... Every one of them had one... This means Mary still had her own card!

What could he do with this card? Many things...

And saying Many... Gray really could use it in many ways!

Gray lowered his body and took the card from the ground and stared at it for a few seconds thinking of what he should do with it...

And soon Gray slapped the paper a few times on his other hand getting excited about what he thought of...

So he stopped paying attention to Mary who already found a current room in his castle standing in front of it with shining eyes...

...

In the sky, Gray who was surrounded by dark smoke stopped moving and stayed in the void surrounded by dark magic elements that were carrying his body in the void...

"Nagini... I want to try something ... Can you stay inside the castle for now..." He toucher Nagini's head who was around his shoulder and told her to stay inside his castle for the time being...

"#@$%" And Nagini glanced at Gray for a second and replied with a soft voice and then disappeared...

As Nagini did this, Gray stayed alone in the void while everyone was inside the castle, except Niala who was sleeping in the space he made for her before...

Gray took the luck paper, and watch it calmly for some time thinking of what he was about to do...

Then took Legolas's card and checked the direction again...

"This way..." After making sure of the direction he was about to jump in, Gray took the Vivre card back and held the luck card with both hands...

*SHEER* Then directly destroyed the entire card to pieces taking all the luck inside it...

"This should be more than enough...." Gray whispered and many parts of his skin started turning black...

*SHRRIP* And the space around him suddenly twisted violently making a sharp tearing sound taking Gray's body along with the twist away, disappearing completely from the void, leaving only some dark smoke behind him that disappeared soon after...

...

And what happened next... should be easy to guess already...

What was Gray's idea?

Suicidal idea... which was the fastest and simplest way to use this paper to achieve his current purpose...

What Gray did was simply using Apparition in a random way, to go into a current place he doesn't know, by making an accident in space and fell to that place he wished to be in using luck...

Sounds simple...

Since luck sent him back in time safely, can't it do this now? And he even used the whole card as a price!

Thought *Time* might be many times more dangerous, but in fact, *Space* was more dangerous than *Time* when one travels through it...

So Gray used all the luck to be completely sure about his actions...

And as Gray came out from the space chaos, he directly appeared in front of Legolas who was flying peacefully in his next direction...

....

"All this happened in just a few days..." Legolas said after hearing the fast explanation Perona gave him about their current situation...

"Well..." Both Gray and Perona nodded their heads... They didn't explain much directly, so what they said was the basic situation, and what happened since they came back to the main world...

"Well... Looks like my experience wasn't that bad after all..." Legolas smiled awkwardly and said...

He thought his luck was so bad but didn't expect both Mary and Perona to almost lose their lives...

"Huuu? Why? What happened to you these days?" Perona was quite interested in what Legolas said and asked...

"I... Fought a crazy snake and couldn't damage it in the end... So I ran away... then met a zombie and almost got killed by the one who killed that zombie... lost my only guide, stolen by a cat... Well... Nothing much..." Legolas looked at the lake in front of them and said plainly...

But the tired look on his face showed that he wasn't so happy about what happened with him these few days...

"So... where is Mary?" Legolas didn't stop after saying what he said and looked around...

"Huh? Snake? Zombie? Someone almost killed you? Cat stole you?" And Gray after hearing what Legolas said and showed a weird face...

Somehow... he felt quite interested and wanted to hear the details...

"Oh right... I forgot! Gray, Mary found the gold room and went inside!" Perona heard Legolas's question and finally remembered what she wanted to say in the beginning...
