Chapter 208: Reward
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
rlin could not move so he just lay silently on the ground. The fla sprite watched rlin and quietly said, “You’re gravely injured. I’m not sure how long I can wait for you to recover.”
rlin’s heart was pounding. His wound was extrely serious, and it would take a long ti for his strong physique to recover even slightly.
So, rlin said to the fla sprite, “If there’s any way you could help recover quicker, I could start cultivating Fiery Collapse sooner. Once that’s done, I could reach the second form of Fiery Collapse and you’ll finally be able to leave this fla-shaped statue and be free.”
rlin knew that this fla sprite was wise but it was no more intelligent than an average person. It had been trapped in this ancient tower for over three thousand years and would want to leave. However, no one has ever t the requirents of the master of the ancient monunt, let alone cultivate the second form of Fiery Collapse.
The fla sprite listened to rlin’s request but hesitated before it said, “Your injury is truly grave but I’m afraid I can’t help you. I don’t have the healing potions you require for your wound.”
“You don’t have healing potions?”
rlin shook his head slightly and he seed helpless. Without the healing potions, it would require a couple of months for him to fully recover his strong physique.
“No, I don’t. However, over the years, many Spell Casters have entered the ancient monunt but a large portion of them was killed by the patterned spiders that protect the entire ancient tower. Why don’t I send out the patterned spider to search for the Spell Casters’ rings and bring them here? You can look through them to see if there’re any healing potions?”
The fla sprite finished speaking and rlin imdiately felt a strange fluctuation in his Mind.
The fluctuation was, in fact, emitted by the fla sprite. The fla sprite was composed entirely of flas but still possessed the sa Mind Power as a Spell Caster. This surprised rlin.
The Mind Power of the fla sprite spread and the huge patterned spider that sat in the corner had gotten up and began to crawl through the black hole.
rlin laid still on the ground but he had expanded his Mind Power to investigate his surroundings.
The large hall was very quiet but it felt cold and the air was dry. This could have been below the first floor of the ancient tower.
Inside the large hall were a few strange tools. rlin was unsure what they were but guessed they were alchemy tools. rlin and the others had battled against the powerful guardian puppet and had not truly defeated it. They just depended on the guardian puppet to deplete its elental crystal stones – that was how they won.
This proved that the master of the ancient tower was, indeed, an exceptional strong alchemist and this was the secret place he kept his alchemy tools.
Moreover, a place as spacious and secretive as this would ensure that no one from the outside would be able to hear a single sound. The master of the ancient tower could have used this place to test out a couple of puppets.
rlin held his thoughts silently and suddenly, a rattling sound ca from the black hole and out ca the huge patterned spider.
Soon, more patterned spiders followed one by one. These patterned spiders were not as big as the first patterned spider and were more similar to the one’s rlin and the others had encountered in the ancient tower.
The patterned spiders ca before rlin and each opened their mouth to spit out one or two rings. Each ring was different. It was clear that they were once owned by Spell Casters who had entered the ancient monunt and were eventually killed by the patterned spiders.
A dozen patterned spiders each brought one or two rings, and eventually, there was a pile of twenty rings next to rlin. The patterned spiders began to retreat into the black hole and left only the larger patterned spider as it returned to its spot in the corner of the hall.
rlin slowly began to inspect each ring. It seed that the fla sprite, who had truly controlled the patterned spider, was able to control the entire ancient monunt. No one could enter it without being noticed by the fla sprite.
This was not done by the fla sprite all by itself. In fact, it was the dense runes upon the fla-shaped statue. The fla sprite could read the runes to fully understand the situation in the ancient tower.
“Well, there’re many rings you can search through. Do you think you’ll find a healing potion?”
The fla sprite gestured at the rings as it asked rlin.
rlin nodded. He used his Mind Power to search through one ring. The ring contained a couple of potion ingredients but they were quite common ingredients. It also contained a few dozen elental crystal stones.
One by one, he searched through the rings...
rlin had searched a few rings but still had not found any healing potions. However, the potion ingredients and elental crystal stones he found could be added up to amount a great value.
Finally, as he searched the tenth ring, he finally found a healing potion, and there was plenty of it. rlin was shocked by Wizard Riesen’s Fourth-level spell that he kept in his Spell Scroll. It had wounded rlin’s body horribly and required a healing potion like this to restore his flesh and blood.
After taking the potion, rlin imdiately felt its effects. Warmth filled his body but at the sa ti, it also felt crisp and numb.
The potion was extrely effective as rlin felt his flesh and blood recover. What could have been months of recovery could be reduced to a dozen days to fully recover.
“Are there more rings, fla sprite? Send more patterned spiders out to look for more rings. If I find more healing potions, I could recover even sooner.”
rlin smiled as he asked the fla sprite.
The fla sprite nodded and ordered the huge patterned spider to search for more Spell Caster rings.
...
Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye and more than half of rlin’s body had recovered. He started to tidy up the rings that the patterned spiders had brought him.
For the duration of half a month, rlin was “surprised” with a ring from the patterned spiders. Each ring was from a Spell Caster who died in the ancient monunt.
After all, the ancient monunt had existed for over three thousand six hundred years. An unfathomable number of Spell Casters could have entered the ancient monunt, only to be killed by either the patterned spiders or the guardian puppet.
Hence, rlin had accumulated a vast wealth from the rings; it was almost imasurable. He had a large number of elental crystal stones and potion ingredients, both rare and common. rlin had even found enough rare ingredients needed to prepare at least ten portions of Phantasmal Magic Potion.
In addition to the elental crystal stones and potion ingredients, there were also a large number of spells. Most of the spells were Zero-level spells, but occasionally he would find a First or Second-level spell.
However, there were very few Second-level spells. Amongst the pile of rings, he only found two Second-level spells within on ring.
Unfortunately, rlin did not even need these two spells. rlin had before him a large number of spells, so he used the Matrix to record them.
rlin’s ring was now filled with different types of spells, potion ingredients, elental crystal stones, and more. He never would have thought that being trapped in the ancient tower would bring him such rewards.
rlin was very wealthy now. Even a Fourth-level Spell Caster who established the Wizard Tower in the Dark Magic Region could not match his wealth.
“I shall leave now.”
rlin whispered. He had been trapped in the ancient tower for half a month where he consud a potion every day to recover his body.
Now, the wound on his body was almost healed, and rlin decided it was ti to receive the treasure from the master of the ancient tower and leave the tower.
“Fla sprite!”
rlin shouted at the enormous fla-shaped statue.
Imdiately, a ball of fla floated from the fla-shaped statue and quickly transford into the fla sprite.
“Fla sprite, did you not say that I t all the requirents to cultivate Fiery Collapse? My body has healed quite a bit and I can now leave the ancient tower. Please give your master’s treasure and allow to cultivate the second-form of Fiery Collapse. Then, I’ll return to set you free from the ancient tower!”
rlin had thought about what he intended to say and spoke calmly.
“You want to leave the ancient tower now?”
The fla sprite asked with a hint of surprise in its voice.
