What Lorena said was consistent with Yang Yu’s guess when he was in the Elf Forest.
It was by using this conjecture that Yang Yu made the elves believe that Bai Jin was persecuted, and covered up the fact that Bai Jin was an elf and could use magic.
Lorena is an elf who has experienced changes firsthand. Yang Yu hopes to get more information from her.
"Ms. Lorena, may I ask how it felt when you went from blonde to brunette
If you feel that this violates your privacy, I apologize."
"It's not a big deal."
Not only did Lorena not show any unhappiness on her face, on the contrary, she turned around and showed Yang Yu and the others a warm smile again.
Memories crept into her heart, and Lorena's gaze returned to the busy streets. She said with a hint of nostalgia:
“I used to be a loyal believer of the goddess. I was born in an ordinary elf village and lived there for an unknown period of time.
Suddenly one day, a white-haired old man appeared in the village.
We heard from him about the magnificence of the world, so we all made up our minds to leave the Elf Forest and travel around.
Along the way, I witnessed all kinds of magic.
The dazzling and colorful magic is much more interesting than the holy light.
So, I started to get in touch with magic, and became a disciple of some famous magicians to learn how to control magic.
It was really difficult at the beginning, especially for elves like us who had no magical foundation and extremely scarce magic power.
However, we elves can live for a long time.
Even if you don't have much talent, as long as you are willing to spend time, you can slowly master the skills of using magic.
It only took me thirty years to learn sixth-level magic."
Thirty years is equivalent to one-third or even one-half of a person's life.
It's true that the older you get, the more casually you can say such things.
After secretly complaining in his heart, Yang Yu and the others walked through the crowd and followed Lorena to the warehouse.
After handing the documents in her hand to the warehouse guard, Lorena led Yang Yu and the others deeper into the warehouse, while continuing to tell them about her past.
“However, at that time, the sixth-level magic was already my limit.
This is what people often call the bottleneck.
But my bottleneck seems to be different from that of ordinary people.
The reason why I got stuck in a bottleneck was not because I couldn’t understand the techniques and rules, or anything else, but because of the conflict between two forces in my body.
The more I learned magic, the more I felt that something was trying to devour the power in my body, which made me feel vaguely afraid.
This fear lasted for a long, long time.
It seems that if I don't make a choice, it will continue forever.
"It doesn't matter, just make this anxiety go away!"
Countless elves who have studied magic like me are often haunted by this thought.
The solution is actually very simple.
Eventually, I gave up the Holy Light and chose to embrace magic.
My magic has improved, but I can no longer use the Holy Light."
Opening the panel, Yang Yu confirmed Lorena's attributes again. In the special column, she still had the mark of [Blessed by the Goddess LV.5].
"Is it really useless at all?"
"I've tried many times, but it doesn't work."
Following Lorena's footsteps, Yang Yu came to the storage area of important items which was heavily guarded.
Lorena explained her purpose to the soldiers present and asked them to take out the valuable weapons stored there.
During this time, Lorena somewhat lonely explained the reason why the Holy Light could not be used:
“When we use the Holy Light, there is always something in our hearts that responds to us, but after we embrace magic, that thing no longer responds to us.
Our iconic blonde hair began to slowly transform into black hair, and our bodies, which had once stopped growing, began to slowly develop again.
I used to feel inferior because of my body, but now I don’t have to do that anymore.”
"Then, do you know how long a black-haired elf can live?" Yang Yu continued to ask.
"I don't know. So far, I haven't seen any elves die of old age."
Several sturdy orcs carried out two locked treasure chests to Yang Yu and carefully opened the locks on the top.
A completely red shield and a sword shining with light blue light appeared in front of Yang Yu.
The shield is about one meter high and is a medium to large shield. It is V-shaped with regular serrations on the edges. Each piece is like a dragon's claw, and the shield surface is like densely arranged dragon scales. There is a cross-shaped black depression in the center.
The length of the sword is a bit subtle. The distance from the blade to the hilt is just the distance from the tip of Yang Yu's middle finger to his elbow. It is neither long nor short.
The entire sword body is interwoven with green and silver, forming waves near the hilt. The hilt is like a heavy golden anchor, and one can vaguely feel the weight of history from it.
Lorena waved her hand and asked the nearby orc guards to step aside:
"General Potato, you know more about equipment than I do. Please do as you please."
Yang Yu didn't hesitate and directly picked up the sword and shield, using the panel to peek at their specific properties.
[Flame Dragon's Shield
Quality: Epic
Defense +300, HP +500, Defense +5%, Damage Reduction +5%
Active skill: [Dragon's Fury], raise the shield and enter a defensive posture for 10 seconds. When the enemy touches the shield, the shield will spray hot flames to attack the enemy in front of it, causing continuous damage.]
[Wind Ripple Sword
Quality: Epic
Basic Attack +100, Strength +100, Strength +5%, Intelligence +100, Intelligence +5%, MP +300, +10% Water Damage
Passive Skill—Raging Waves: The following skills will be enhanced to a certain extent.
[Zhanlang] - Has a wider attack range
]
Wielding the sword and shield in hand, these two pieces of epic equipment are not difficult to use, but they are definitely not easy to use.
Firstly, the shield is too heavy and will affect the defensive action to a certain extent; secondly, the sword is too specialized and the attributes added by the white value are too complicated. Intelligence and water damage are attributes that Yang Yu cannot use.
Sure enough, it’s not so easy to get good equipment.
Considering the versatility of the sword and the fact that we are still in the midst of a war, the good equipment has already been awarded, and Yang Yu cannot ask for too much.
These two pieces of equipment are barely acceptable.
At least when facing the enemy, you can fight with peace of mind without worrying about weapon damage.
“It is a great honor to be appreciated by His Majesty and the Prime Minister. Although these weapons have some minor flaws, they are generally pretty good.
I now give you the treasure I got from the underground labyrinth.
If I find a better sword and shield in the future, I hope to pawn these equipment and get them first."
Lorena showed a sweet smile on her face:
"I will tell the Prime Minister. Please continue to work hard, Mr. Potato. We look forward to your performance.
After this war is over, if the general is willing to invite me, I would be honored to have dinner with you.
Of course, the premise is that your female companion agrees. "
I'm sick and want to go to bed early.
I will update once today, and I owe you two more.
I have received a lot of rewards recently, and I am flattered. I will not thank you one by one.
All in all, thank you all for your donations and subscriptions.
I wanted to add a few more chapters as a token of my gratitude, but I just don't have the time.
I will add more when I have time later.
It's not that I don't want to hurry up and finish writing early, but the author is really bad and encountered various writing problems.
I will talk about these things when I write the postscript later, as they cannot be finished in one go.
Yes. As long as there are no major problems, the book will be completed, so don't worry about it being abandoned.
When I first put it on the shelves, there were over 100 collections and about 13 first orders. If I wanted to discontinue it, I would have done so long ago, haha.
