Chapter 27: Lich Scepter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lorne’s villa was located on the outskirts of the villa area. It could be seen from the outside.

At this moment, there were already some spirit envoys outside who were chatting about the rumors related to Lorne. These spirit envoys were just curious. After watching today, they probably would not come again in the future.

The three spirit envoys stood and watched for a while, then left Lorne’s villa and came to a mansion.

“Yuanlong, what do you think?” a square-faced man asked in a deep voice.

“It doesn’t matter if Lorne’s elf is already level-3 but judging from the number and quality of missions he completed in the past few days, his elves are probably extremely outstanding,” the man called Yuanlong said.

“That’s right. An ordinary person and an elf is still growing so fast. There’s only one possibility. His elf’s potential should be extremely outstanding,” another well-informed spirit envoy also said.

The square-faced man said, “Yuanlong, Hehai, then do you think we should take this job?”

The two of them looked at each other.

“Old Luo, from what those rookies said, it’s possible that Lorne has left the city. Should we leave the city too? What if we encounter that demon?” the man called Hehai said.

The square-faced man said, “The outer city is so big, we might not encounter him. Moreover, now is the best time. We can’t do anything in the city, so we can only do it outside the city. Now that the spirit envoys have returned to the city, we can kill Lorne outside the city so that we won’t be easily discovered.

“After we kill him, we can use my spirit binding bag to trap his elf. Since he doesn’t have a strong connection with the elf, we can sell that elf for a good price.”

At this point, the square-faced man swept his gaze across the two spirit envoys’ faces and said seductively, “We can’t sell an elf of this level with light attributes in Jiang City. However, if we bring it to other grade-B cities, there will definitely be spirit envoys who will be interested. Perhaps we can sell it for hundreds of thousands of contribution points. How about it? Let’s do this, okay?”

The other two hesitated for a moment. Finally, both of them made a decision and said in unison.

“Alright!”

Needless to say, these three people were also assassins sent by Li Chong’s mother, Li Luoyun. To treat a newcomer like Lorne, they had really invested a lot of capital.

At the same time, 20 kilometers away from the base city.

“Another one has been taken care of.”

Under the night sky, Lorne revealed a look of joy in a forest. Another level-4 demon had been taken care of. This demon was not even as good as the one in the church. However, after taking care of it, Lorne had an unexpected gain. It was a tool that the demon had dropped after it died.

“Can the system detect what this is?”

Then, as if sensing Lorne’s thoughts, the system’s voice sounded.

[ Broken spirit tool, use value: none ]

It did not seem to be of much use, but Lorne kept it in the system space in accordance with the principle of not throwing it around.

[ Your elves’ potential has been raised to five stars. Your leveling experience has been reduced by a quarter and your aura at the same level has increased by a fifth. ]

The system’s voice rang out.

“Five stars potential!”

Lorne could not help but be delighted. The benefits of five stars potential were self-evident.

As their levels increased, the experience required to advance also increased almost exponentially. After their potential increased, the experience required to level up could be relatively reduced.

At the same level, the twin sisters’ aura also increased. Aura, to a certain extent, represented combat strength.

In other words, although the sisters were still at level-4 but they were even more durable! Lorne looked at the sisters’ attribute panel.

[ Companion elf: Dark Elf (Dina) ]

[ Aptitude: 5 stars ]

[ Level: 4]

[ Abilities: Latent Shadow LVL 3, Bind LVL 3, Assassination LVL 3 ]

[ Fetters: 85]

[ Companion elf: Light Elf (Nita) ]

[ Aptitude: 5 stars ]

[ Level: 3]

[ Abilities: Healing LVL 3, Purification LVL 3, Angelic Wings LVL 2, Light protection LVL 2 ]

‘After taking care of two level-B demons, Nita should be able to reach level-4 by now,’ Lorne thought of this. Although it was already late at night, he was still full of energy.

[ Your twin elves’ potential has risen to 5 stars at the same time. Host has received a chance to draw a lottery. ]

At this moment, the system’s voice sounded once again.

“Eh, I can still draw?”

Lorne was a little surprised. Previously, every time they leveled up, Lorne, as the system’s host, would be able to strengthen his body twice after leveling up. He did not expect to also benefit from the increase in their potential.

Following that, a circular wheel appeared before Lorne’s eyes. There were a total of 10 slots on the turntable. However, Lorne could not see what was in the slots.

“This is a blind box. Forget it, I’ll just draw it.”

Lorne used his mind to directly press the start button in the middle. The turntable started to spin rapidly. After a few seconds, the speed of the turntable slowed down.

Then, it became slower and slower until it finally stopped. The pointer of the turntable pointed to a slot.

[ Congratulations, host, you have obtained an ability: spirit artifact repair. With the cooperation of the elves, the host can repair the spirit artifact. You can also use other spirit artifacts to upgrade the spirit artifact owned by the host. ]

“Repair the spirit artifact?”

The ability obtained from the lucky draw surprised Lorne.

“Didn’t I obtain a broken scepter earlier? Let’s give it a try.”

Lorne summoned Nita and took out the broken scepter. After receiving the reward from the lottery, Lorne naturally understood how to repair some spirit tools.

However, this repair method required Nita’s aura. Hence, Nita’s cooperation was needed.

“Nita, give me your hand,” Lorne said.

Nita reached out her small hand. Lorne reached out to catch it.

“Eh, so obedient.”

Lorne felt that with strengthened bond, Nita seemed to be able to accurately understand Lorne’s meaning and carry it out.

“Come, Nita, release a portion of the aura.”

Nita obediently released a small portion of her pure aura.

“Try to wrap the scepter,” Lorne hurriedly said.

Lorne only knew the method, but Nita still had to complete the specific operation. Nita understood it very quickly. She quickly wrapped the scepter with her aura.

This scepter was something that was exposed after the demon was killed and the magical realm disappeared. As it was damaged, the demon might not have been able to use it before.

Under Lorne’s continuous command, Nita quickly used her aura to repair the scepter.

Repair successful!
