After some time, Jasper Richardson and the others, who were searching inside the giant ruins, came out one after another.
With a petite figure, Jasper Richardson took a step forward, presenting a simple scroll emitting a faint golden glow to Leo Ray and said, “Reporting to my Lord, Taylor and I have carefully searched the area.
Besides this magical scroll hidden in a secret compartment, there is nothing else of value in the ruins.”
“So there’s still more to gain.”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray took the old, slightly damp scroll and casually opened his attribute column. [Name: [Light Healing Skill] Magic Scroll]
[Grade: Tier 3. Excellent (Blue) ]
[Effect: Reduces swelling and pain, quickly heals wounds, and can purify negative effects of Dark System below Tier 3]
[Remark: The magic scroll sealed with a powerful light attribute healing magic, as long as the skill is mastered, even ordinary people can use it.
Furthermore, it can be used as a purification attack magic spell when facing
Dark Attribute monsters and undead enemies.]
“So it has a dual effect of healing oneself and attacking Dark Attribute opponents?”
In contemplation, Leo Ray felt a slight movement in his heart. He put the scroll into his bracelet and directly began to upgrade.
[Congratulations, your [Tier 3 Magic Scroll: Light Healing Skill] has been upgraded to [Tier 3 Magic Scroll: Light Healing Skill] 105 pieces!]
“Not bad, not bad. In addition to the Tier 3 attack spells like ‘Advanced Flame Burst Bomb’ and ‘Dark Light Burst’ I got before, I now have three types of magic scrolls that I can use at any time!”
“The most critical thing is that each type has around 100 scrolls, which can undoubtedly come in handy in critical moments.”
Feeling delighted, Leo Ray nodded at the short-haired female leader not far away and continued to ponder, “As for the issue of dividing the spoils with Penelope Welbourn, let’s wait until this exploration is completely over.”
“By the way, I must figure out her specific talents. Maybe it will bring considerable help to our side. After all, both the Coldflame Royal Family and the impending catastrophe of unknown origin will pose unpredictable threats.” As Leo Ray was thinking of this.
On the other side, Jasper Richardson shook off her weariness, and the young face showed a maturity that completely contradicted her appearance, saluting Leo Ray and saying, “My Lord, it’s now confirmed that these ancient ruins were once a city of Light Elves, and the ruins before us are the Prayer Temple of the Light Elf Race.”
“The Prayer Temple of the Light Elf Race, huh?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly nodded, looking at the strange humanoid sculptures on the giant stone pillars not far away while showing a thoughtful expression.
During this time, as his understanding of this world grew deeper, he had mastered most of the common knowledge about races other than humans.
Among them, of course, was the famous Elf Race.
In this world, there are three branches of the Elf Race: the Light Elf Race, the Dark Elf Race, and the Forest Elf Race.
Moreover, these three elven races rarely interact with each other, and they even often find themselves in a hostile state.
At this thought, Leo Ray looked up at the once glorious giant temple in front of him, showing a puzzled expression.
‘What was the reason that turned such an extraordinary elven civilization into ruins?”
Shaking his head helplessly, Leo Ray refocused on the giant ruins in front of him and asked the petite half-elf ancestor, “Jasper Richardson, according to your understanding of the elf race, where are we now in these elf ruins?”
“Reporting to my Lord, this is the living area of the ordinary elves, which is the outer city area of this ancient elf city,” Jasper Richardson said, saluting Leo Ray. She stretched out her small hand and pointed at the entrance of the ruins they had just passed. “According to my understanding, the city walls of the Elf cities are very special, made of a combination of trees and stones. “While speaking, Jasper Richardson nodded slightly at Leo Ray and continued:
“Moreover, it has an automatic repair effect; its defense is quite extraordinary. However, correspondingly, it also requires a large number of nature-element elf mages for daily maintenance.”
At this point, Jasper sighed lightly, seemingly lamenting the disappearance of the elven civilization, and continued: “Therefore, after the city was completely abandoned, thousands of years of weathering and rainfall washed away these walls, leaving only the rubble and intertwined roots.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, showing a somewhat respectful expression.
Without a doubt, this could be seen from just this angle.
This vanished Elf City could already rival the lost relics on the Earth from before the crossing.
At first glance, whether it was the surrounding vines entwined with the broken walls or the bizarre human bas-reliefs on the broken stone pillars, there was a sense of ancient vicissitudes everywhere.
“I didn’t expect to see things I’ve never seen before in my past life so easily after crossing over.”
Taking a deep breath of the air mixed with the scent of plants and earth, Leo Ray shook his head, putting his thoughts temporarily aside.
He then asked the Half-Elf in front of him: “Jasper, where is the Tears of the Elves we need most likely to be found?”
“My Lord, I have carefully checked earlier; If it’s not in the Prayer Temple of this Outer City, then it is most likely in the Sacrifice Temple or the Royal Castle within the Inner City.”
On the other side, Jasper furrowed her eyebrows and replied respectfully after slight hesitation.
“Understood, let’s continue exploring.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, steadied his mind, and motioned for everyone to continue moving deeper into the ruins.
And so, among the intertwined green plants and white ruins, walking on the road mixed with weeds and stones, a group of more than ten people investigated while cautiously guarding against any potential threats. Finally, they arrived in front of a massive stone archway in the center of an open space.
Looking up, the height of this stone archway was almost on par with the previous Prayer Temple, looking extraordinarily tall and well preserved.
Moreover, on the arch shoulders and lintel of the door, there were intricately carved bas-reliefs. They could vaguely see that these depicted neatly arranged squads of the Elf Tribe’s army.
Although thousands of years have passed, the sculptures still seemed lifelike, provoking exclamations of admiration.
“My Lord, this is the Elf Tribe’s Triumphal Arch, and this area should be the Central Plaza connecting the Inner and Outer City. It seems we’re not far from the Inner City.”
Not far away, the petite Jasper stood on her tiptoes, looking around while speaking.
“Very good.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and pondered.
On the way from the Prayer Temple to here, other than some broken pots and jars,
they have not found any other valuable items, nor have they discovered any magic traps or threats. It was smooth sailing.
However, Penelope had also mentioned earlier that she had seen a giant shadow wandering on the outskirts of the ruins…
With that in mind, Leo Ray shook himself and continued: “Everyone, stay fully alert. It has been too quiet on this journey so far. There’s a high possibility of unexpected dangers ahead.”
“My Lord, come and see, there are three corpses here!”
As soon as Leo Ray’s voice trailed off, a crisp, slightly surprised voice from
Bianca White came from the dense grass nearby, entering everyone’s ears..
