Chapter 021: Magical Tools! The Elves Have Arrived!
Lin Xuan continued walking forward for so distance.
Suddenly, three diverging paths appeared ahead.
Each of the three paths led into unknown mine tunnels. From the outside, all of them contained a significant amount of iron ore and stone.
Lin Xuan stood still, pondering his options.
In the end, he chose the tunnel on the far right.
This tunnel was noticeably brighter than the other two. Moreover, upon sensing the surroundings, he confird that the three black iron treasure chests were also in the rightward direction.
Sure enough!
As Lin Xuan walked further inside, the light ahead grew even brighter. Before long, he spotted three black iron treasure chests.
The chests were scattered around but not too far from one another.
“Hahaha~!”
“This is the first ti I’ve been this lucky! I actually found three treasure chests at once!”
Lin Xuan chuckled happily.
He stepped forward and picked up the three treasure chests.
[You have opened 3 black iron treasure chests! You obtained: Wood x200, Stone x100, Pig Iron x30, Iron Axe x2, Magic Lantern x1, Elental Fruit x1, Low-tier Weapon Blueprint x1…]
A flash of light shimred.
The items imdiately appeared in his inventory.
Lin Xuan was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of rewards in the treasure chests. Among them, he found a Magic Lantern and a Weapon Blueprint.
Of course, there were also various other materials and an Elental Fruit.
Although the Elental Fruit was of no use to him, he could still keep it for the people in his shelter or trade it with other lords.
Either way, it was a beneficial find.
[Magic Lantern (Low-tier): A mystical magical tool that emits light to dispel darkness. If it runs out of energy, it can be recharged under sunlight or by using a crystal core. (Current remaining energy: 99/100 points…)]
[Weapon Blueprint (Low-tier): Contains the forging thod for the Tigerback Blade. Requires Pig Iron x5, Bronze x1, Beast Blood x1 to craft a low-tier weapon…]
The Magic Lantern resembled a handheld lantern.
At the bottom, there was a control switch that allowed it to be turned on or off and also adjusted the brightness.
Lin Xuan promptly turned on the Magic Lantern and set it to its maximum brightness.
Instantly, the previously dim mine tunnel beca much brighter.
“This will make things much easier.”
Lin Xuan chuckled, placing the lantern on the ground before preparing to mine the stone from the tunnel walls.
However…
Just as he was about to start, a figure suddenly erged from the depths of the mine.
Lin Xuan was startled, thinking it was an undead monster. Instinctively, he prepared to shoot an arrow.
Yet before he could release it, the figure spoke.
“Human?!”
The voice carried a hint of surprise, as if the speaker hadn’t expected to encounter a human here.
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows and halted his attack. He lifted his lantern to illuminate the figure.
As the light fell upon the person, Lin Xuan was stunned.
“Huh? An elf?!”
The figure before him was not an undead creature.
It was a woman—more precisely, a beautiful elf.
From her appearance, elves looked quite similar to humans.
However, Lin Xuan knew that while human ears were rounded, elves had pointed ears.
Although the difference was subtle, he imdiately recognized her as an elf.
Perhaps because this was his first ti encountering an elf up close, Lin Xuan took a careful look at her.
She carried a large bow on her back, wore a flowing green dress, and had long golden hair cascading down. Her fair skin was radiant yet not sickly pale, and her light blue eyes reflected an innocent charm.
Lin Xuan’s gaze montarily lingered on her figure.
Hmm.
Perfect proportions.
Her slender waist seed small enough to be held with one hand, and her soft, cream-like cheeks made him want to take a bite.
But Lin Xuan restrained himself.
He wasn’t sure he could defeat her if things went south.
[Na]: Aelya Amargil
[Race]: Elf
[Level]: Tier Three
[Description]: Elves are nature’s beloved children. They possess long lifespans and are naturally attuned to elental forces…
“Damn.”
“Being an elf sure is nice. They’re born with elental affinity.”
Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little envious.
However, he quickly reminded himself that his own elental affinity was at the highest level.
That thought imdiately lifted his spirits.
At that mont, the elf, Aelya, spoke, her words leaving Lin Xuan puzzled.
“Human! I finally found you!”
Lin Xuan froze.
“You’re looking for ?” he asked, confused.
“Yes, I am looking for you!” Aelya nodded firmly.
This only baffled Lin Xuan further.
Why did it feel like everyone was searching for him?
People were after him in the real world.
Now, even in the ga world, soone was looking for him.
What was he, Tang Seng?
Did everyone want a piece of him?!
“Why are you looking for ?”
Lin Xuan questioned Aelya, while secretly remaining on guard. If anything seed off, he’d escape imdiately.
After all, she was Tier Three, and he was no match for her.
That said, he wasn’t too worried since he still had one resurrection attempt left for the day.
“It’s not who’s looking for you. To be precise, our Elven Queen wants to see you… No, that’s not quite right.”
“Actually, it’s the damn dwarves who are after you…”
Aelya looked at Lin Xuan as she spoke.
Little did she know, her words only left Lin Xuan even more confused.
How did dwarves get involved in this?!
So, he asked,
“Why are the dwarves looking for ?”
“Because you destroyed their graves!”
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
Scenes of yesterday’s abandoned burial ground flashed through his mind.
“So… that place was a dwarven burial site?!”
