Chapter 63: The Treasure of the Elven Empire!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
While Ruth was leading her Snow Wolf Legion in that direction, a werewolf mage who was responsible for guarding the soul lamps of the werewolves rushed into the palace of the Wolf King from the depths of the underground.
He was in a hurry, his face was pale, and his eyes were trembling.
The werewolf soldiers guarding the palace looked at him strangely. He rampaged through the palace, passing through the front hall into the inner hall, and came to the place where the Wolf King was resting.
“Who is it!” The guard at the door frowned and stopped him.
The werewolf mage said with a trembling voice, “I am the Guardian of the Soul Lamp. I have something important to report to the Wolf King! Get out of my way!”
The guards in front of the door quickly let them pass, and their hearts immediately sank into unease.
If there was nothing special, the Guardian Mage of the Soul Lamp would never appear in front of them, because as long as they appeared, nothing good would happen.
The soul lamp was a kind of magic device. After leaving a strand of its own hair and spiritual power inside, once someone died in the outside world, the flame of the soul lamp would also be extinguished.
Boom!
The Guardian of the Soul Lamp suddenly flew out from the back hall. His body hit the ground heavily, and he spat out blood.
“Men!” An old wolf with gray hair and one blind eye walked out expressionlessly.
The two werewolf guards immediately saluted and said, “Your Highness, what are your orders?”
Wolf King Ulisso’s face revealed a ferocious expression.
“My brother, Uriel, is dead! Immediately gather the werewolf army. They are in the forest 30 kilometers away from Wolf Ridge. Find Them for me and bring back the gem!”
“Yes!”
Wolf King Ulisso clenched his fists, his expression extremely grave.
Leader Uriel was his younger brother. Regarding his brother’s death, he was actually not very sad. However, the important thing was that he was on a secret mission and had just returned from the elf tribe.
Two months ago, Uriel had paid a huge price to steal a sacred treasure from the Southern Elf Empire.
He had sent a thousand powerful werewolves, but only a few dozen survived. They were trapped in the territory of the elf empire and could not return.
Ulisso had sent his younger brother, Uriel, to rescue such an important person.
He had thought that he would be able to bring the treasure back safely this time, but he had not expected that this idiot Uriel would actually die outside.
The Wolf King’s eyes were blood-red as he clenched his fists. “This pearl must not be lost!”
…
“It’s just a pity that all these goods have been destroyed by the flames.”
Su Han summoned the water elements to extinguish the burning flames. The dozens of carriages had long been reduced to ashes in the flames.
Looking at the golden paint that had already solidified on the ground, the few boxes of gold coins had all melted, and most of the other goods had also been reduced to ashes.
But now, it seemed that there was basically nothing valuable to be found.
“Brother!” Xiao Yu’er, who was scavenging with Su Han in the ruins, called out. She seemed to have discovered something.
“Come and take a look. I found a bead!”
Su Han heard the voice and turned his head. He came to Su Yu’er’s side in confusion. In Su Yu’er’s hand, there was an ice-blue bead that was shimmering slightly. It looked crystal clear and very beautiful.
Su Han picked up the bead in surprise. He immediately felt a chill.
“Interesting. It’s still cold under such high temperature. It seems that this bead is not an ordinary thing.”
Su Yu’er said, “It’s really beautiful.”
He opened the Eye of Law habitually. He did not pay much attention to it at first, but in the next moment, his eyes widened.
The wheel of law that surrounded the bead made him feel dizzy again and again.
“The wheel law of soul and frost!” Su Han panted.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Su Yu’er asked worriedly.
Su Han shook his head and frowned as he looked at the crystal ball. There were two extremely complicated wheels of law in it, and they were far beyond what he could grasp at the moment.
Moreover, from that glance just now, he could feel the power contained within this bead.
“How can there be a wheel law of soul inside this bead?” He frowned slightly, unable to understand.
The soul’s design was too high-level. Every time he used the Eye of Law to pry into it, he would not go too deep. Once he saw the soul wheel, his spiritual power would collapse and be damaged due to too much information pouring in.
He truly believed that this bead was definitely not an ordinary item.
However, although the wheel law of soul could not be touched, Su Han could still pry into some of the true meanings of the frost wheel of law.
Perhaps he could use this bead to upgrade his tier-1 freeze to tier-2.
However, he couldn’t stay in this place for long. The explosion was too loud, and it would definitely attract the attention of the human army, orc army, and even the werewolf army in the forest.
“Xiao Yu’er, let’s go. We’ll do research after we go to Saint Laurent City.”
…
Half an hour after they left, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from afar.
Ruth, who was riding on a unicorn, led the Snow Wolf Legion to the scene. As soon as they arrived, they saw the pitch-black ruins that spread for hundreds of miles. Corpses were lying on the ground one after another, and the surrounding carriages had been scorched to the ground.
Seeing the scene that looked like hell, even the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Legion sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Lady Ruth, these are orcs and the adventurer team we met before. Wait, there are werewolves!”
Her assistant widened her eyes and recognized the corpses. Although many of the corpses were charred black, the huge bodies of orcs and werewolves were very easy to recognize.
“They should be one of the orc legions that barged into the forest, as well as a werewolf legion.” Her assistant stared blankly at the corpses on the ground and muttered, “They’re all dead…”
“Who on earth has the ability to kill an orc legion, a werewolf legion, and an entire adventurer organization? What on earth happened here?”
No one spoke. They were as shocked as she was.
To be able to create such a destructive scene, they must be mages above tier-5.
Moreover, if the news was not wrong, the two leaders of the werewolf and orc armies were both tier-5 warriors.
Didn’t this mean that the mage might even be a tier-6 mage?
“Sir, we found this in the ruins!”
Ruth turned around and saw a warrior walking over with a black ball in his hand.
Ruth and her adjutant looked at each other. They could feel the fire elements gathered in the ball.
Her adjutant frowned and knocked the ball with the hilt of his sword.
“What is this? Where did you find it?”
The warrior said, “In the grass outside the ruins.”
