"To be honest with your Majesty the Human Race, and to be honest with you all, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here for two purposes. Obtaining high-quality magic crystals is only a secondary matter, and the most important matter is to find the black color that the young lady just mentioned.
Crystal ball!”
Ruth slowly took a deep breath, and said solemnly on her fair face: "This is extremely important to the light half-elf clan, and the series of actions I made are just to obtain this in the shortest time and with the greatest hope.
Things, otherwise our clan will fall into a situation that will never be restored!"
"Miss Shining Shine, you really concealed it very deeply. You just fooled us all."
Fanny followed the name Xiaojing, crossed her arms and frowned and said, "Isn't this black crystal ball you are looking for some terrible weapon?"
It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the Flower Fairy Queen that she still harbors grudges. She is obviously still brooding over what happened in the past.
"Your Majesty the Flower Fairy is serious. We are just working hard for survival. As for the matters that your Majesty is worried about, I can assure you and your Majesty that the black crystal ball is just a special token and is even worthless in your opinion.
, but it is very important to us.”
Ruth's fair face became more serious, and she said seriously: "This will never hurt you in the slightest."
"Having said that, the actions of the light half-elves are a bit puzzling, right?"
Broy gently rubbed his chin and questioned: "After all, this is the mine of the ancient dark elves, and the tokens stored there must only be related to the dark elves. Why do you who are hostile to the dark elves come here to look for them?
A token?"
After Broy said that, Erza and Teresa, who were dark elves, also frowned tightly.
The dwarf king is right. This is indeed a bit difficult to explain. The most important thing is whether this will have any impact on the current dark elf kingdom.
At the center of the crowd, Lei Xiao looked interested, waiting for Ruth's explanation.
Naturally, Lei Xiao had already anticipated these trivial matters.
Just like Broy said, it is an extremely contradictory thing for Ruth and other light half-elves to find what they are looking for in the ancient dark elf mines.
Feeling the questioning glances from Lei Xiao and everyone else, Ruth opened her mouth, but in the end she hesitated.
On the other hand, the old man Melun next to him had a solemn face and stood up and said: "Your Majesty the human race, everyone, this is indeed a bit difficult to understand, but this matter is related to the life and death of the entire bright half-elf clan. Please forgive me for the unspeakable secrets and cannot answer you.
This question."
After Meron finished speaking, the other bright half-elves also nodded solemnly.
"Based on this alone, you want to take away things of unknown origin from under our noses. Isn't this a bit too whimsical?"
Fanny still frowned and said reluctantly: "Don't forget that according to our agreement, we and His Majesty the Human Race will take the majority of all the harvest from this mine, which includes the resources in the mine.
Naturally, that includes the black crystal ball.”
"Your Majesty the Flower Fairy, please don't bully me too much. Our agreement at that time was only for the resources in the mine and did not cover other things!"
There was also a trace of dissatisfaction on Mailun's wrinkled old face, and he retorted.
"Elder Melun, now we have something to ask of others, please be careful with your words."
Ruth took a step forward, first waved her hand to signal the old half-elf to step back, then nodded to Fanny and said: "Your Majesty the Flower Fairy, I understand your concerns. Although I cannot tell you the reason for looking for the black crystal ball, I
I can assure you that we will never take any action that is detrimental to any force."
After saying that, Ruth turned her white palm up, and an extremely delicate pale golden badge emerged.
I saw an ancient lantern engraved on the delicate palm-sized badge, which was emitting a shining light.
"Your Majesty, everyone, I swear by this badge that everything we do is just for the survival of our people, and there is absolutely no other intention!"
Ruth's starry eyes were full of determination, and she nodded heavily to Lei Xiao.
"Is this a token that only the leader of the light half-elf clan can hold?"
Chrissy's starry eyes were filled with surprise as she blurted out.
You must know that although the light half-elves are attached to the light elves, they are also a genuine second-rate force with considerable status and voice in the outer realm, so many things are still known to everyone, including this clan leader's badge engraved with the lantern crest.
After Chris said this, everyone else in our party couldn't help but open their eyes. This patriarch's badge represents the supreme power of the light half-elves and can mobilize all the legions and strong men of the light half-elves.
And the foundation that one second-rate force possesses is probably difficult for ten third-rate forces to contend with, which is evident from this.
"Yes, this is the leader's badge of the light half-elves. You should believe it now, right? This represents the glory and reputation of our clan. No light half-elf will do anything to insult this badge, even if it is
Pay the price with your life for this.”
The golden magic powder applied on Ruth's fair face shone brightly, and her voice was full of sublimity.
After saying that, Ruth smiled helplessly at Lei Xiao and added: "Your Majesty the Human Race, I know you must be very curious about my identity, but I cannot disclose this point either, and I ask for your forgiveness from the Human Race."
"Since Lord Ruth has already said this, we naturally will not have any other opinions."
Lei Xiao first looked at each other with Fanny, Broy and Chris, and then nodded slightly.
The reason why Fanny showed a reluctance just now was mainly to find out more information. This was also something that Lei Xiao had discussed with everyone before entering the mine.
But now, since the other party is being honest to the maximum extent, we might as well sell the other party a favor, after all, the other party is a genuine second-rate force.
On this point, Lei Xiao has already reached a consensus with Broy, Fanny, Chris and others.
Furthermore, there is another thing that Lei Xiao is extremely concerned about, that is, as an affiliated force protected by the light elves, the light half-elves are currently encountering a crisis that can affect the life and death of the entire group.
But even so, the light elves as protectors did not participate, which is obviously unconventional.
Even if the light elves and dark elves are currently at war with each other, the main forces of the two cannot leave, and they won't send just ten people like Ruth to solve the crisis, right?
To take a step back, the strength of a first-class force like the Light Elves, which stands at the pinnacle of all races, is enough to solve any crisis faced by the Light Half-Elves.
It is not difficult to see from this that perhaps there is some kind of gap between the light half-elves and the light elves. Maybe this action is just a private act of the light half-elves, and they don't even want the light elves to know. This is only reasonable.
Of course, Lei Xiao will not express these inferences directly, but it is enough as a reference.
In this case, it is not surprising that the other party hesitates and hesitates.
As for Ruth's true identity, since the other party took out the clan leader's badge, and Myron and other bright half-elves respect her very much, she must have a very important position in the clan, and it is enough to know this.
In addition, the prerequisite for selling the other party's favor is that the black crystal ball really has no effect or danger on us.
In order to achieve this, we naturally have to do some testing first, including checking the attribute column of the crystal ball.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao added bluntly: "Your Excellency Ruth, we are willing to cooperate with you to find the crystal ball, but the premise is that you must also fulfill your commitments and remove the self-destruction circle and self-destruction of this mine.
Magic trap, and the crystal ball needs to be examined by us first."
"I understand, I agree to the conditions put forward by His Majesty the Human Race!"
Ruth nodded without hesitation, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said excitedly: "Thank you for your help, His Majesty the Human Race!"
After Ruth said this, other bright half-elves, including Myron, also made the same move.
Among them, Lei Xiao even saw a few young fifth-level half-elves with glistening eyes, and they were so excited that they started to sob faintly.
"Okay, let's move on."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and everyone immediately tightened their nerves again and began to perform their duties while moving forward.
This time, with Xiaojing's assistance, our pace of exploration has accelerated a lot.
Although this ancient mine is extremely large, there are no magic traps set up in the main mining area and various sub-mining areas that need to be mined, so under the premise of being targeted, everything went very smoothly.
Especially under the reminder of Xiao Jing Qingqingqingqingqingrulu, those magic traps hidden in the dark had nowhere to hide. Lei Xiao simply changed his strategy and commanded all the magic-type experts present to join the team that broke the magic circle.
, assisting the actions of the light half-elves to the greatest extent possible.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, the core of the self-destruction array in the mine has been completely lifted!"
At the entrance of a management area that was obviously larger, Ruth wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with an excited look: "Next, we only need to dismantle some of the auxiliary magic circles, and there will be no destruction here.
It’s dangerous!”
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ruth and asked, "Do you need to rest for a while?"
"Thank you for your kindness, His Majesty the Human Race. This is nothing to us."
Ruth smiled and waved her hand and responded.
At this moment, fierce shouts of killing suddenly rang out from outside the mine, followed immediately by the bombardment of neat magic cannons that shook the earth and even caused the entire mine to tremble slightly.
Although our group has gone deep into the depths of the mine, these sounds are still obvious and sound extremely intense.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Xiaojing had obviously never encountered such a situation before, and while she was astonished, panic suddenly appeared on her fair face.
"Has it finally begun?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao and the others looked at each other and smiled.
This is naturally a duel between the dragonborn army and the troll army, or the tauren army. Of course, there are also flowers, wood elves, tree people, elves, and humans and other soldiers on our side to assist.
Before that, Lei Xiao, his team, and Prince Zhanyi Davis had already arranged everything, just waiting for the other party to run into the trap, so there was nothing to worry about, and Lei Xiao didn't even need to come forward in person.
"It doesn't matter, this is just a small confrontation."
Lei Xiao gently patted Xiao Jing's shoulder, and then ordered: "Let's continue, just leave the above matters to Shuerte, Cornette, Prince Zhanyi Davis and others."
"I understand, everything is at your discretion."
Xiaojing nodded her head obediently, and then said to Lei Xiao: "Sir, the next management area is where the black crystal ball is stored!"
"Great, it seems we need to speed up!"
Ruth's expression was filled with joy, and she turned around and devoted herself to the final cleanup work in this area.
Not long after, the group of people had cleared all the magic traps here and began to move towards the next management area.
During this process, Lei Xiao also received news from Shuerte and his subordinate generals one after another. The tauren and troll armies both ran into the trap, while we and the dragonborn army were preparing to capture the enemy.
net.
As long as these two uncertain troubles are solved, everything will naturally be solved.
"Sir, ahead is the management area where the crystal ball is stored!"
Xiaojing introduced while jumping around Lei Xiao: "But this place is quite special. Not only is it the largest in area, but it also looks extremely luxurious!"
As Xiaojing finished speaking, Lei Xiao really noticed.
Directly in front of the current mining area, a brand new passage appeared, which was obviously much wider than other passages.
At the main entrance of the passage, there are two rows of statues of dark elf knights standing. Although they are covered with traces of time, they have not fallen dusty and look extremely neat.
This undoubtedly surprised everyone, after all, the previous area was covered with thick dust.
"This was cleaned by the dark elves in the beginning, and it's the only area they remember to clean."
Xiaojing shrugged and introduced: "Of course, since they wouldn't leave any traces, they cleaned it up very slowly, so I simply did it for them."
"So that's it. It seems that this place must be extremely important to them. It is indeed a special area."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a touch of curiosity on his face.
But just when Lei Xiao was about to direct everyone to enter this passage, the rapid prompt of reciting words suddenly sounded.
After the call was connected, the voice of Sean, the captain of the Pterodactyl Knight who was responsible for scouting the battlefield, came out immediately.
"Lord, there is something wrong with the situation on the battlefield. A large number of unidentified enemy reinforcements suddenly appeared on the outskirts of our encirclement!"
