After that, they tread on the dusty and slightly loose stone floor as they went on their way.
The group had returned to the dark and damp resting hall of the Elf Underground City.
Under the illumination of the light crystal stone, Leo Ray slightly raises his head, his gaze once again falling on the ancient elvish text above the other two corridors.
“Only the ‘Council Chamber’ and the ‘Living Area’ are left, huh?”
After a brief hesitation, Leo Ray steps forward to the right corridor leading to the living area, addressing Jasper Richardson, Taylor and the others, “Well, let’s explore this area first this time.”
“By your command, Lord!”
Hearing this, everyone formed into magical and physical squads respectively, as before, to explore the path ahead.
Tightly guarding Leo Ray on either side were the two maids, Abigail and Amelia, both wielding sharp longswords.
With the help of Star Pupil’s night vision effect, viewing deep into the corridor, Leo Ray noticed that the layout here closely resembled the ‘Storage Area’ they had just searched, with rooms appearing at regular intervals.
After a thorough check by Taylor and the others, Leo Ray entered the first room.
Stepping over the wooden door, half-corroded by the passage of time, Leo Ray discovered that this was an equipment storage room.
In the room, numerous stone weapon racks and green stone tables neatly displayed a large amount of rusty longswords, long spears, and shields, which seemed fragile enough to break into two if touched.
The stone tables were garnished with wooden outlines of longbows, their limbs and bowstrings already eroded beyond recognition after millennia, barely distinguishable from their original appearance.
“All damaged Tier 1 and Tier 2 equipment, huh? Not only unable to upgrade, they are not even worth repairing.”
After checking the attribute column, Leo Ray helplessly shrugged his shoulders and left the room.
Next, accompanied by the two maids, Leo Ray successively inspected the following dozen or so rooms.
Each of these rooms contained numerous double-layered stone beds, likely dormitories for the elven soldiers.
However, as with all the previous rooms, no elven corpses were found by the group. For original chapters go to novel※fire.net
“Lord, please…come and see this!”
Just as Leo Ray had stepped out of the last elven soldier’s dormitory, Stella Clark’s somewhat shy and surprised voice resounded within his mind.
Going straight to the room Stella was in, Leo Ray noticed that it was also an equipment storage room, with an identical layout to the previous one, only with additional armor display racks in the corner.
Under the reflection of the Light Crystal Stone, visible were not only some unusable equipment but an array of colorful, luminous pieces. “Well, well. Seems like we’re going to find something new.”
At this point, unexpected delight surfaced on Leo Ray’s face.
However, the next moment he wore a slightly puzzled expression.
On closer inspection, each of the resplendent pieces of equipment was surrounded by a faint, translucent barrier, which appeared quite peculiar.
“My Lord, this is a small protective barrier used by the Elf Tribe. These equipment pieces have remained intact all these years due to these barriers.”
Meanwhile, Jasper Richardson, levitating in midair using a flight spell, touched down in front of Leo Ray, respectfully saying, “Leave the task of breaking the barrier to your subordinate here.”
“I see. I’ll let you handle it then.” Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling for the other party to start.
Across the room, Jasper Richardson gracefully moved towards the center of the weapon storage.
Accompanied by a low chant, soft magical energy waves suddenly erupted from his petite frame.
Wherever the energy waves reached, the protective barriers dissolved into tiny energy particles, vanishing completely. Meanwhile, Leo Ray had already arrived in front of a row of equipment display racks.
On these racks, there were various colorful magic robes and light cloth armor vests. At a glance, it was enough to make one feel a little dizzy.
Seeing this, Leo Ray waved his hand and directly put them all into his bag. He then opened the attribute column of two of them.
[Name: Elf Robe] [Grade: Tier 3 • Excellent (blue)]
[Additional Effect: Magic Amplification • Mortal ‘Small increase in damage when using spells’]
[Remark: A mage robe exquisitely crafted by the elf tribe craftsmen, it has a magic amplification effect. Its complex and ancient patterns prove that it dates back a few thousand years.] [Name: Elf Protection] [Grade: Tier 3 • Excellent (blue)]
[Additional Effect: Wind Elf’s Power ‘Small increase in movement speed’]
[Remark: A special fabric armor of the elf tribe, using the unique magic craftsmanship of the tribe, which can grant the wearer the protection of the power of wind.]
“A total of eight pieces, half magic robes and half cloth armor, all Tier 3 equipment, huh?” Closing the attribute column, Leo Ray immediately showed a trace of delight.
Without a doubt, magic robes, and cloth armor were exclusive manufacturing techniques of the elf tribe, and rarely seen in human kingdoms.
As such, it made up for the lack of equipment for their side to a considerable extent!
With excitement, Leo Ray did not hesitate and started upgrading directly.
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 3 Armor: Elf Robe’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 3 Armor: Elf Robe’ 100 pieces!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 3 Armor: Elf Robe’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 1+ Armor: Elf Saint Robe’!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 3 Armor: Elf Protection’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier
4 Armor: Holy Elf Protection’!] [Congratulations, your…]
Thus, after a series of upgrades,
Leo Rav eventually obtained more than 7.00 Tier 2 magic robes and cloth
armors, as well as 2 Tier 4 ones of each.
“Not bad, not bad, let’s see if there is any other good stuff!”
Excited, Leo Ray continued to search and successively obtained 8 Tier 3 elf longswords and completed upgrading them.
By now, all the useful equipment in the entire equipment storage was collected by Leo Ray into his bag.
After that, under the escort of his subordinates, Leo Ray once again entered the other rooms at the end of the corridor.
These rooms were obviously much more spacious than the previous elf soldiers’ dormitories.
Furthermore, the luxurious decoration and carvings, as well as large stone beds and stone cabinet dressing tables, indicated that these were bedrooms of the elf royal family.
However, after searching, they did not find any other valuable items in these rooms.
Thus, after thoroughly exploring the ‘Living Area’,
Leo Ray, under his command, led the group back to the rest hall without stopping.
“Only the ‘Council Chamber’ is left?”
Looking at the ancient elf script written in a calligraphy style above the central corridor, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression: “It seems that the final chance to find the Tears of the Elves is right here..”
