“Lord, you have arrived.”
When they got closer, Old Half-Elf Tribe Leader Gunner Santons, with wrinkles all over his face, looked a bit scared but also relieved. He pointed to a place not far away and said, “Fortunately, our tribe’s warehouses are built outside the village, so they were not affected by the fire.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Shielding his eyes from the slightly dazzling sunlight above his head, Leo Ray followed the direction of Gunner Santons’s finger. He found the warehouses located in between lush farmland and a fenced breeding ground.
It seemed that was where the Half-Elf Tribe’s warehouses were.
Leo Ray nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, and continued looking around. The smoke gradually dissipated after the fire was extinguished, and the situation inside the barrier had returned to normal.
Under the two suns, large and small, the distant mountains and green trees were lush, and the nearby farmland and rivers flowed gently.
Everything was almost the same as the outside world, just without traces of demon beasts.
That couldn’t help but make Leo Ray wonder how vast this barrier was.
He then casually asked Gunner Santons this question.
“My Lord, the area of this barrier is about 10 square kilometers, and even the alternation of day and night is completely synchronized with the outside world,” Gunner Santons replied with a proud smile on his wrinkled face. “As for the distant mountains and valleys, they are not illusions but real images of the outside world.
Back then, in order to create this barrier space and hide from the world, our ancestor spent almost his entire life completing this feat. ”
“Wow, it’s as big as 1,400 standard football fields!”
After marveling, Leo Ray refreshed his spirit and asked some questions about crops. He then found out that the planting techniques for these crops were learned from another Elf Tribe by the Moonwhite Tribe’s Half-Elves several hundred years ago.
These crops were not only high-yielding but also had a short maturity period and tasted good.
Just as Leo Ray had planned, if they were planted in large quantities to supply the army with food, it couldn’t be more suitable.
However, after a slight hesitation, Leo Ray did not immediately put this idea into action or let Gunner Santons and the others know.
There was no doubt that everything here was still in the early stages of development, and issuing such orders at this time seemed untimely and could potentially lower the Half-Elves’ loyalty.
Just as Leo Ray thought of this, Gunner Santons’s old face showed a mysterious and somewhat flattering expression, and he said, “Lord, if there are no other instructions for the time being, please move, and I will hand over the treasure of our Moonwhite Tribe to you.”
Seeing Gunner Santons so proactive, Leo Ray nodded appreciatively. This old Half-Elf was very good at what he did and was indeed a Tier 3 Nine-Star Great Mage.
So, following Gunner Santons’s steps, they walked through the village that had almost been reduced to ashes by the fire.
A moment later, the group returned to the stone house at the center of the area.
Entering the huge stone house for the second time, Leo Ray noticed that the Half-Orc corpses had been completely cleaned up. Only the bloodstains on the ground were still shocking.
Meanwhile, with the help of Half-Elf Girl Belinda Wright, the trembling
Gunner Santons walked directly to a stone wall. He turned his head and said,
“Lord, please follow me.”
Seeing this, a slightly puzzled expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face. This area belonged to the same wall that was just punched by Taylor, and it was obviously impossible for there to be any hidden chamber or space on the other side of the wall.
However, before he could think any further, the two Half-Elves, young and old, didn’t hesitate to head directly into the stone wall.
Within the next second, they both disappeared.
After a brief stun, Leo Ray immediately reacted.
“Wow, is this a secret chamber located in the fold of space?
Considering the way they entered, I’m guessing it’s called something like ‘Nine-and-Three-Quarters Chamber?”
Entering the spatial fold, Leo Ray discovered that this place was indeed a special space, as he had predicted.
“If that Half-Orc Shaman were still alive and knew what he was looking for was right under his nose, he’d probably be so angry that he’d use his magic wand as a toothpick.”
Leo Ray looked around cursorily.
This secret chamber had the same all-stone structure as the outside, and it was quite spacious. The light inside was dim because there were no windows, and a
few oil lamps embedded in the walls flickered, seeming to go out at any moment.
“I must say, this environment is kind of like something out of a martial arts TV show.”
With that thought, Leo Ray stepped onto slightly loose stone tiles and walked with his subordinates to where Gunner Santons and Belinda Wright were standing.
There, they saw a smooth, half-human-height stone platform in front of the two. On top of it lay a box, ornately decorated in gold.
Upon a rough estimate, the box was at least a meter long and half a meter wide, much like the high-level treasure box obtained in a game after defeating a boss.
“A golden legend! With this huge size and capacity, I wonder what kind of treasure is inside?”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help showing a look of anticipation.
“My Lord, the treasure of our Moonwhite Tribe is inside,” the old Half-Elf Gunner Santons said reverently, standing beside him. “However, this treasure was left by our ancestor, and there are many restrictions set on the box. Only a Half-Elf of the same bloodline can open it without triggering traps.
Therefore, please allow me to open it for you, my Lord.” “Thank you,” Leo Ray nodded and stepped back slightly.
At the same time, besides the ever-calm Taylor,
Serena, Stella, and Scarlett all showed curious expressions as they joined the onlookers.
Next, Gunner Santons’s old face became serious, and he signaled Belinda Wright to move a little to the side.
He then took a deep breath, stretched out his old hands, and slowly opened the golden box in front of him..
