Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Elf Core_
“Elf Core? What is that?” Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but express his curiosity while looking at the green crystal floating above the withered tree not far away.
“My Lord, this is an extremely rare crystal that can only be made by the most exceptional elf magic artisans.”
Jasper Richardson took off the Elf Core and returned to Leo Ray’s side with light steps.
She handed over the crystal that emitted a green light, and then said, “I found it strange that even after thousands of years have passed, the powerful golem summoning technique should not have lasted for such a long time.
Without the supply of magical power, the tree guardian giants here should have disappeared long ago and could not continue to act and attack us. So, I thought about this possibility.”
“Jasper, are you saying that the summoned tree guardian giants existed for thousands of years because of this Elf Core?”
Leo Ray took the Elf Core from Jasper Richardson and felt the cool sensation it brought while pondering the question.
“My Lord, that’s exactly the case.”
Across from him, Jasper nodded and replied, “This core allows golem puppets to form an independent energy circulation system. Even if the caster stops supplying energy, they can continue to exist and act.”
“Most importantly, if the golem is defeated and the core remains undamaged, it can be reused next time.”
At this point, Jasper straightened her slender figure and smiled, ”
My Lord, during the hundred years I lived with the Elf Tribe, I also learned this tree guardian giant summoning technique. From now on, we can also have these puppets with extraordinary defense.”
“So that’s how it is. Excellent.”
Patting Jasper’s little head, a smile appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
There was no doubt that this addition would significantly increase their fighting power.
Moreover, it could be deduced from the previous situation that these tree guardian giants didn’t produce energy fluctuations when lurking. As long as they were mixed with other trees, it would undoubtedly be difficult to detect them.
Whether as hidden sentries or ambush soldiers, they perfectly fit the natural environment surrounding their territory.
“Jasper, go find the rest of the Elf Cores.”
With this thought, Leo Ray nodded to the petite half-elf in front of him.
“As you command, My Lord!”
On the other side, Jasper Richardson saluted and immediately began to take action.
At the same time, Penelope Welbourn and others, who had finally recovered from their astonishment, began to whisper among themselves.
“My Lord, My Lord!”
Younger Lana moved closer to Penelope Welbourn’s ear and said with knitted eyebrows, “That little half-elf seems to have mentioned twice that she lived with the Elf Tribe for a hundred years.
But she doesn’t look any older than me. Is she boasting?”
“Lana, don’t talk nonsense. Every subordinate under Master Leo is a hidden dragon or a crouching tiger.”
Recalling the shocking scene just now, Penelope Welbourn couldn’t help but swallow and gesture for silence.
“That’s right, it’s not surprising that the half-elf reached the third tier at such a young age, and her actual age is over a hundred.”
Aurora took a deep breath, sneaked a glance at Leo Ray, and said with awe on her wheat-colored face, “Besides, Master Leo seemed to come here primarily to restore her strength.”
“Does that mean she is older than my grandma?”
Unable to believe it, Lana blinked while looking at the tiny figure collecting Elf Cores and exclaimed in admiration, “The half-elf’s original strength couldn’t have reached the fourth-tier level, could it… ‘
While the three of them whispered, Leo Ray opened the attribute column of the strange crystal in his hand and began to study it, mumbling in his heart, “The name is just ‘Elf Core’? It belongs to a rare level 4 resource category.
However, as always, resource items like this lack detailed explanations. If Jasper weren’t here, we might not be able to make full use of it even if we obtained it.”
As Leo Ray thought about this, Jasper, with her agile movements, had already brought over a large number of similar crystals.
“My Lord, the remaining Elf Cores are undamaged, and they are all here!”
Jasper then handed over eight strange crystal stones, which emitted a green light symbolizing life, to Leo Ray.
“Well done, thank you.”
On the other side, Leo Ray waved his hand and put all the Elf Cores into his bag.
Next, Leo Ray said to everyone, “Alright, let’s follow the formation we had earlier and continue moving forward. Since this giant square connects the outer and inner cities, we are already very close to our final destination.”
“As you command, My Lord!”
Hearing this, all subordinates saluted in unison and began to take action as instructed.
Penelope and the other two quickly followed along.
During this process, Lana couldn’t help but show an eager look on her face and whispered to Penelope, “My Lord, the inner city, where the Elf Royal Family once lived, must be far more magnificent than this place, right?”
With that, they successfully passed through the central square where the Elf
Triumphal Arch was located and continued moving deeper into the Lost City.
Following Leo Ray’s command, the team of more than ten people cut through the brambles and entered a dense forest.
After walking through the lush forest, amidst the dense bird and insect calls, and the knee-high grass for quite some time, their surroundings suddenly became open and clear.
However, when they saw the scenery around them, they couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, showing incredulous expressions.
They saw that there were no massive building complexes in the inner city of this ruin as they had imagined, nor were there towering elf temples and castles.
As far as the eye could see, there were only leftover ruins and many scattered stones around, just like an ocean of ruins without an end in sight. Without a doubt, this dilapidated scene had a vast difference from the outer city they had just seen.
It seemed that this place had experienced a fierce war thousands of years ago.
“So it’s true…”
Surprised, only Jasper Richardson’s delicate face showed a thoughtful expression.
She then approached Leo Ray and began to introduce the scene..
