Chapter 1388 Farewell and Deployment
When the pitch-black crystal ball came closer, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed further.
The crystal ball is not transparent and its surface is not very smooth, but it reflects the light of the illumination spell and is a form between smooth and frosted.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the entire surface of the crystal ball was engraved with extremely fine and regular patterns, but it was difficult to tell whether they were magic patterns or not.
"Your Excellency, I have wiped this black ball countless times in the past three thousand years, but I have never found any clues."
With Lei Xiao's permission, Xiao Jing carefully raised her hands and took the crystal ball out of the groove.
Looking at the crystal ball that was so close, Lei Xiao opened its attribute bar.
[Name: Dried Black Elf Tears (Cannot be repaired)]
[Race: Dark Elf]
[Grade: None]
【Efficacy: None】
[Note: A dark elf tear that has long lost its function is like a grain of sand lost in the long river of time.]
"Is it actually a special Elf Tear? Judging from the name, it should be a special item of the Dark Elves."
Lei Xiao looked at the text on the attribute bar, pondered and nodded.
Lei Xiao was no stranger to such a special item as the Tears of Elves.
Initially, it was because of the discovery of this magical item unique to the elves in the ruins of the Light Elves that Jiang Xi was able to recover his strength and lift the blood seal of the Yuebai clan.
"Come to think of it, I also found the Elf's Tear at the goddess statue, so it's not surprising that another one appeared here."
"However, although that Elf Tear lost a large part of its energy, it is still usable. After my upgrade, it has been restored to its original state. But this one has completely lost its function?"
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao tried to upgrade the black crystal in front of him, but it didn't produce any effect.
"Is that really the case?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with an expected look on his face.
This is not surprising. After all, his talent cannot be effective on damaged items. Moreover, according to the prompt on the attribute bar, this Tear of the Dark Elf is still in an irreparable state.
In other words, to him, this thing is undoubtedly no different from an ordinary stone.
"If that's the case, then what's the point of Ruth and the others going through so much trouble to find this thing? Don't they know that this Elf Tear cannot be repaired?"
Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and looked at Ruth's fair face which was still filled with anticipation and excitement, and his heart was full of confusion.
"Besides, as light half-elves, why would they travel thousands of miles to search for a damaged dark elf tear? How does this relate to the survival of their tribe?"
"Forget it. Now that we know this thing has no effect on us and will not pose any threat, we should naturally hand it over to Ruth and the others."
Lei Xiao thought so in his heart, nodded to Xiao Jing, and signaled the latter to hand the black crystal ball to Ruth.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
After eagerly taking the crystal ball, Ruth's delicate face was filled with excitement and joy, and she couldn't help but say, "Now our people can escape from the vortex of destruction!"
Beside Ruth, other light half-elves such as Myron were also extremely excited. Some of the youngest light half-elves even started crying with joy with red eyes.
"Sir Ruth, I have to remind you that this thing seems to have lost its original function and can no longer be repaired."
Looking at the excited light half-elves, Lei Xiao frowned slightly and reminded them.
"Thank you for your concern, His Majesty, but this will not affect the outcome of the matter. As long as we bring this back, everything will be solved!"
Ruth carefully put away the black crystal ball and said to Lei Xiao with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I know your Majesty must be full of questions in your heart, but before the people of the tribe are completely safe, I can't tell you the specific situation. I hope Your Majesty will understand, but your friendship will never be forgotten by us!"
"Mr. Ruth is too polite. It is my duty to help you. After all, you have stood with us in the most dangerous time."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "We will never forget this friendship."
"Me too."
Ruth nodded heavily and said seriously, "I look forward to the day when I can meet Your Majesty again. By then, I will tell you everything honestly!"
“I am looking forward to that day too.”
After that, Lei Xiao walked out of the temple and said, "Let's leave now without further delay."
It didn't take long before the group returned to the Ice Stone City at lightning speed.
"Everyone, this place favored by the gods cannot yet lead you to the depths of the outer realm, but I will do my best to send you on your way."
Lei Xiao looked at Ruth and other light half-elves one by one, smiled and said: "Other than that, these are parting gifts that will help you return to your people faster."
After saying that, Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and a pocket filled with a small amount of sixth-level and a large amount of fifth-level movement speed-increasing potions and energy recovery potions emerged and was handed to Ruth's slender hand.
After cleaning up the battlefield and a series of upgrades, Lei Xiao already had quite a bit of stock of these auxiliary types of magic potions.
"There is actually a sixth-level magic potion. I will never forget the kindness of His Majesty the Human Race!"
Ruth held her pockets with both hands, her starry eyes filled with irrepressible gratitude.
You know, like the sixth-level potions and sixth-level equipment, both the alchemical technology and the many alchemical materials are in the hands of the first-rate forces that stand at the top of all races, including the light elves.
Even for light half-elves such as Ruth, the light elves' control is also extremely strict. The former are not allowed to possess these items at all, let alone master alchemy technology.
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Lei Xiaoyun smiled calmly, and immediately ordered Bing Lao, who was on standby, to prepare for the transmission.
Since we have already established a certain friendship with the light half-elves, it is only natural to use these insignificant potions to consolidate it.
Seeing this scene, the dragonborn generals such as Davis and Nar who also came to see him off couldn't help but swallow their saliva. It was very difficult for them to see the sixth-level magic potion, let alone use it.
And His Majesty the Human Emperor actually took out a bunch of them at once, which was simply breathtaking.
With a flash of light blue light, Ice Stone City appeared at the foot of a towering mountain. Although it was not yet close to the center of the outer domain, it had already spanned a large area, including a vast desert.
"Thank you again for your help, Your Majesty. We will set off now!"
Ruth led Myron and the others to solemnly bow, and after receiving Lei Xiao's response, they immediately flew out of the slowly opening gate of the Ice Stone City and soon disappeared at the end of the horizon.
"Well, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must finally say goodbye. Let's go back too."
After a while, with Lei Xiao's order, Bingshi City was once again standing in the area under our control.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao focused on the arrangements for mining the ancient mines and some matters after the fierce battle, including how to deal with the generals and surrendered soldiers of the Tauren and Trolls.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that unlike our other friendly forces, the Tauren and the Trolls were undoubtedly defeated at our feet.
Of course, we need to use both kindness and force to completely consolidate our control, including eradicating the remnants of the two remaining everywhere, and establishing the status of the leader of the mountain abyss, the leader of the giant tree, and the middle-aged minotaur general.
With the help of leaders like Broy, Chris, Fanny, and Shult, as well as our strong men and generals like Gray Old Man and Joniel, everything went very smoothly.
As for the Dragonborn who had fought alongside us and had reached a consensus, he returned to the capital first and scheduled all matters for tomorrow.
It was not until nightfall that Lei Xiao completed all the deployments, including face-to-face communication with the leader of the abyss, the leader of the giant tree and the middle-aged minotaur general.
"Now that everything is ready, I will go to the Dragonborn tomorrow first, and then go to the territories of the trolls and the tauren in turn to upgrade. When everything is settled, this area will be completely under our control."
Under the deep night sky, Lei Xiao, who had just returned to the Lengyan Capital after handling daily affairs in the territory, stood on the observation tower of the Lion Castle and nodded thoughtfully.
I have to say that from the moment I stepped out of the outside world, I have experienced too many incredible things. Looking back on them now, it really makes me sigh. Fortunately, I have come through them all.
"My Lord, it's windy outside, let's go inside."
Ariel walked up to Lei Xiao and put the emperor's robe on him. A look of worry appeared on her fair and delicate face.
"That's true. We should cherish the rare rest time."
Lei Xiao lowered his head slightly, picked up Princess Ariel in front of him, and walked into the room with a swagger.
……
The next morning, after Lei Xiao finished all his daily affairs, he brought a group of strong men to the Dragonborn capital, Dome City, and even brought Jace's most elite dark elf legion.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although Davis, as the regent, agreed to the alliance, if he wanted to completely make the other party bow down at his feet, comprehensive upgrades and a small amount of strength deterrence were indispensable.
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao had already determined the range of activities of Jace and others yesterday, which happened to be within the vast outer domain under his control. In other words, all our outer domains are currently the range of activities of the dark elves.
Although it did not cover the human territory and the wider outside world, the ancient dark elves were able to stabilize the area so that they could continue to move forward without any worries.
At the same time, he also learned that perhaps he could find a way to allow the ancient dark elves to expand their range of activities.
As for whether the ancient dark elves will always abide by the agreement and fight for us, Lei Xiao is not worried.
Firstly, it is well known that the Dark Elf Kingdom is now on the verge of a war with the Light Elves and has no time to withdraw.
After all, the Dark Elf Kingdom has become increasingly weaker over the past thousand years, and it can no longer be considered a truly first-class force.
Secondly, Xiaojing once said that the only obsession of Jace and others now is to find out the truth about the Blank Era, and their goal is exactly the same as ours.
In this situation, even if the current Dark Elf Queen came in person, she might not be able to impress the other party.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Human Race!"
In front of the majestic and tall dome city gate, Davis had already prepared a grand welcome ceremony. He led a group of dragon ministers and generals to retract their wings and saluted Lei Xiao respectfully.
Although the fierce battle had just ended, everyone had already learned that it was because of the young human emperor who led the reinforcements to turn the tide that they were able to defeat the aggressive enemies. Otherwise, this dome city would have been destroyed under the iron hooves of the lich and undead army.
In other words, the young human emperor in front of them can be regarded as their savior. How could they not be moved to tears of gratitude?
At the same time, everyone also clearly understood that regardless of other things, just the 10 fourth-order ancient dark elf legions led by His Majesty the Human Race and all the means they had were enough to wipe out any force in the area from the map, which made all of them feel awe.
For a moment, the scaly faces of the dragons were filled with expressions of gratitude and awe, as if the human emperor before them was their king.
"No need to be polite, everyone. Since the Silver Moon Era, humans and dragonborn have been friends with the same aspirations. Now that we can hold hands again, it is undoubtedly a blessing for both races."
Lei Xiao was already accustomed to such grand and solemn scenes, and he just smiled and waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my king is seriously ill and cannot come to greet me personally. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
Davis smiled sheepishly, making way for the other party and continued speaking.
"It doesn't matter. There's nothing we can do about it."
Lei Xiao responded with a faint smile.
Before this, Lei Xiao had already learned about it through Ruth and the summarized intelligence.
The Dragon King had been seriously ill for many years and had been in a coma for most of the time. One of the reasons why Davis chose to cooperate with Ruth and others without hesitation was to get the latter's help to help the former with his treatment.
However, even though Ruth and the others brought a lot of precious healing potions, they were only fifth-tier after all, and what they could do was undoubtedly extremely limited.
“But for me, this doesn’t seem to be a problem.”
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and thought so in his heart.
"Perhaps in addition to deterrence and comprehensive escalation, I have another way to get closer to the enemy, which is to restore this king who I have never met to his normal state."
"By the way, I also have a token I got from Fei'er. I don't know what it is used for."
Lei Xiao had just thought of this in his mind when he had already stepped into the gate of Dome City.
