The voice quickly quieted down, and with it, the inexplicable throbbing in Lovia's heart was also suppressed.
Just as Lovia was thinking about "Elynas," a strange sensation, different from the previous voice, quietly emerged.
It wasn't a perception from the outside world either, but originated from within her body, more like an instinctive craving. It was similar to her body's craving for ore, but at this moment, the feeling was very vague.
She wanted to find something, something that could make her feel stable and warm.
Lovia felt this sudden impulse with confusion.
"What do I... want?" she murmured to herself.
She looked around, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings—the swimming fish, the swaying aquatic plants, and she even went up to specifically check the rocks on the seabed.
None of them were it.
That craving wasn't directed at visible objects; it was more like a... sense of loss, as if an important component of her body was missing, and now this "vacancy" was causing a chain reaction.
Gradually, in her subconscious, a blurry image began to coalesce.
It was a pen.
A quill pen with an ancient style, a warm barrel, and soft feathers.
Lovia recognized it in the blink of an eye; it was one of the two items she had carried with her when she first transmigrated into this body, the quill pen that was kept together with that small notebook!
Lovia's heart skipped a beat.
Why that pen?
It was just an ordinary quill pen she had initially used for writing. Later, after Xingqiu gave her a new pen, she felt that quill pen was too old, so during one of her trips to play in the sea, she had casually thrown it into the vast ocean.
At the time, she even thought, "Out with the old, in with the new," and didn't care at all.
But now, in this eerie state of illness, her body and her instincts were frantically shouting for that discarded pen!
A piece of common knowledge belonging to the Melusine race that she had inadvertently ignored suddenly surfaced from the depths of her memory.
Every Melusine, upon birth, possesses a "Token" connected to their life source.
Could it be... that seemingly ordinary quill pen wasn't some random starting item at all, but... her "Token" as a Melusine?!
But the game didn't mention the use of Tokens! It only mentioned that they were very important.
Judging by her situation, could it be... that the Token is a part of a Melusine's power, an item that maintains the stability of their existence? Losing the Token would cause her to become fragile and then fall ill?! Soaking in water helps a bit, but not much?
Lovia's blood seemed to freeze at this moment.
Because she threw away her Token, her body is now starting to have problems?! This dizziness, fatigue, chills, weakness... they are all symptoms of "Token Deficiency Syndrome"?!
"Ah...!" Lovia let out a short cry of surprise, covering her mouth in extreme shock and regret.
Under such an obvious "hint" from her subconscious, she finally understood why she had "fallen ill"!
Immense panic replaced her previous feelings of grievance and helplessness.
What should she do? The Token had already been thrown into the sea by her! In the vast ocean with its surging waves, a small quill pen might have been washed away long ago, or perhaps it had already sunk to the seabed, buried by silt, or used as nesting material by some marine creature.
The hope of finding it back was so slim!
