Chapter 430 - Equivalent Exchange? (2/2)

Was this man one of the Masters who reached this level by consuming special resources? Why was he so weak?

Andonara could’ve beaten the current Roland up when she was merely a Master, though she cared about him too much to do that.

Now that Andonara had become a Legend and awakened her Hero bloodline, she could even fly as a phoenix for a while. Not just one Roland, but five Rolands couldn’t survive five minutes under her attacks.

“He’s not weak; you’re simply too strong. A fourteen-meter-long saber can cut everything in the world. He couldn’t have escaped even if he had run ten meters first.”

While talking, the stealth-mode Husseret revealed himself. He liked praising others.

He put his dagger back. He had intended to ambush Spara, but Spara was killed before he did anything, and he was almost cut by Roland’s fiery miaodao.

This fiery miaodao was one of Roland’s abilities after he became an Elemental Lord.

His control of elemental spells was greatly improved, and the cost was reduced too.

It was barely possible for Roland to build a long saber with pure fire elements in the past.

He had to control the fire elements with a spell model.

However, he felt that all the neutral elements were at his disposal at this moment.

But this was just a basic application. To use more elements or to combine them freely, he would have to reach higher levels first.

He would be a lot stronger by the time he became a Master, and he could fully carry out the capabilities of an Elemental Lord when he became a Legend.

At this moment, the rest of the Silver Mercenaries were defeated too. The last of them knelt down and begged for mercy, but Li Lin simply slashed him into a pulp of meat coldly with his giant sword.

Eventually, he looked at the guy’s body and said coldly, “Did you spare the poor people when they knelt and begged you to?”

Husseret, on the other hand, exclaimed when he observed Spara’s body. He cut Spara’s armor with his dagger and tore off a necklace.

“So it was because of this!”

He glanced at the item and threw it to Roland. “It’s good stuff.”

Roland accepted the silver necklace and put it in his hand. Soon, the data of the item popped up.

Bewildering Eye of the Love G.o.d (Excellent)

Attributions: Health +20, Stamina Regeneration +10 (when not hungry)

Bewilderment: When males wear this necklace, they will appear more powerful; when females wear this necklace, they will seem vulnerable and make males want to protect them.

Well… it was a nice piece of equipment.

An increase of 20 points of Health equaled to the Health growth of a Warrior after two level-ups. Plus the increased Stamina Regeneration, it was truly a piece of good equipment for a Warrior.

But bewilderment, the magic effect of this equipment, was rather tricky. It would only be useful at critical moments.

Spara was not a Master at all. He simply came across as a Master because of the necklace.

It could make someone look stronger… so it could be useful.

It seemed very useful on females too.

“Help me appraise this.” Roland tossed the necklace back to Husseret. “I’ll take this one. I’ll pay you later.”

“Enough nonsense.” Husseret threw the necklace back. “You didn’t ask for our gold coins last time, so we certainly can’t take anything from you this time. Besides, he was killed by you anyway. This is your loot.”

The rest of the team gathered and looked at Roland’s necklace, but none of them were interested.

Li Lin, in particular, threw a tantrum and cursed, “Roland, why do you look down on us? You think none of us has seen any gold coins?”

The rest of them had a similar att.i.tude.

“Okay then.” Roland put the necklace in his system Backpack and said, “I’ll claim this item then. We can share other equipment if we find any.”

Everybody looked around, but no Silver Mercenaries could move anymore. Betta then asked, “Brother Roland, what do we do next?”

“Have you completed all your quests?”

“There are another two.” Betta scratched his head and said, “One of them is to eliminate all the hiding Silver Mercenaries in the slums, and the other is to find the captain of the Silver Mercenaries and kill him. It’s a blue quest, but the system shows that the target is very far away.”

Roland thought a moment and said, “The captain must’ve gone elsewhere for missions. Let’s ignore him. You clear the slums first and make sure that all of them are caught. If any of them survives, they might be more brutal and make the poor suffer more. I’ll go to the Northern Dawn Woods first to create a tunnel to the relics.”

“Okay.”

Roland then left everybody and flew back to the spot in the Northern Dawn Woods that he marked earlier.

The Northern Dawn Wood was quiet, with bird chirps and beastly sounds echoing from far away.

So, the place was rather creepily quiet.

Roland landed and looked around. Then, he closed his hands in his magic robe, summoning two magic puppets near him.

Then, four tiny magic spiders showed up too and dispersed in four directions, monitoring the surroundings.

After taking enough precautions, Roland stared at the soil before him.

Then, the soil three meters ahead of him surged and split apart.

An enormous cave appeared. Then, the soil was pulled aside by an invisible power, making the cave deeper and deeper.

Roland stared at the cave without moving at all.

Magic power interwove and collided around him, forming delicate streams of energy that made the soil roll out according to Roland’s will.

The slant cave was deep and dark. Roland threw a light ball down and tried again. But he found that he was too far away from the bottom of the cave, and he had to jump in to continue his excavation.

Then, with a thought, he transformed the mud below his feet into stairs that stretched to the depths of the cave.

He was about to step down the stairs, when he stopped and looked to his right.

In the meantime, he put on the Mind-Calming Necklace to replenish his magic power.

Half of his magic power had been consumed as he had been digging the cave with earth elemental power.

He looked around and planned to hide, but he stopped because the stranger came faster than he thought. About five seconds later, a person in a green robe with a silver longbow on the back appeared.

The stranger was rather slim, but the person’s face was hidden under the hood.

The stranger grabbed the longbow upon seeing Roland, but the person soon relaxed.

Then, the stranger lifted the hood voluntarily.

Roland saw long, straight green hair, and a pair of long ears.

The stranger was a female elf, and a very beautiful one.

Her eyes were bright green, and her lips were tiny and red.

She looked at Roland with a smile. “I sensed a magic power that was destroying the soil, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect to see a compatriot here.”

A compatriot… Well, Roland realized that he had been mistaken for an elf a lot recently.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m digging for something,” Roland said casually. “Don’t worry, I’ll refill the cave after I find it.”

“That’s good.” The elf nodded as if she was relieved. Then, she looked at Roland hopefully. “Compatriot, can you buy some salt for me from a human market? Human beings aren’t nice to pure elves, so I don’t want to appear in public. But I haven’t had any salt in two months. I’m quite weak at this moment.”

Roland thought a moment and took out a piece of meatloaf that Andonara made from his system Backpack.

The meatloaf contained a lot of salt.

“Thank you.” The elf accepted the meatloaf delightedly and put something down in Roland’s hand. “This is for you. Okay, I’m leaving. Remember to fill the hole, compatriot.”

Then, the elf put the meatloaf in a bag on her waist and quickly left.

Was this a special plot?

Roland was rather puzzled. He wondered if this was a prerequisite mission for the search of the Water of Light.

Then, he looked at his palm, only to be rendered speechless.

Inside his hand was a tiny purple flower.

The flower was translucent, like a piece of purple gla.s.s.

A Complete Flower of the World Tree (Epic)

Effect: It can significantly increase the soul longevity and slightly purify the elven bloodline after it’s eaten. It can also be used as a valuable magic material.

d.a.m.n it… Had he made a fortune?

Did the elven bloodline come with so many privileges?

He definitely had chosen the right bloodline.
