Chapter 11: Galadriel’s Decision

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was over. His life was over!

Chen Kun’s mind was filled with his future appearance as a lizard.

The thought of the dancing female lizard on TV made him want to bang his head against the eggshell.

Why did a good person like him have such an encounter?!

“I’d rather be reincarnated as an animal like a cat or dog!”

“At least I can find a master and not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life.”

“Now, people will probably chase me away in the future!”

All kinds of complicated emotions made Chen Kun think of many tragic futures.

He really hoped that a predator would appear now so that he could reincarnate again.

After lying in the eggshell for half a day, Chen Kun finally accepted this reality.

Anyway.

He had lived again. He would treat it as a new experience in life.

Moreover, lizards did not have to go to work. They could catch insects wherever they wanted.

‘Let’s just enjoy the freelance lizard life without a job.’

He still had his memories as a human. When the time came, he would definitely be very popular.

Perhaps he could become a Lizard King or something.

At that time, wouldn’t the beautiful female lizard be easy to capture?

But in the next second, Chen Kun’s heart turned cold.

He seemed to have started thinking like a non-human…

Galadriel put the golden egg in the bedroom and turned to change.

She was completely unaware of the countless ancient runes that flashed across the eggshell.

It was night. Galadriel was sitting in front of the bed carefully sensing the golden egg.

She had already spent an hour, but she still could not sense what was going on inside the golden egg.

Retracting her magic, a magic projection appeared to Galadriel’s left.

Above it was Undine, who was riding back quickly.

Through the image, it was obvious that not only were there wild beasts roaring on her side.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Forgive me for not being able to salute. I’m in a little trouble here.”

“However, we’ve successfully broken away. One of the elves is injured. I’ll send someone back soon!”

Galadriel listened to the other party’s tone and combined it with the speed of the horses running at this moment, she roughly knew what was going on with Undine.

Immediately after, magic surrounded her. She injected a very strong magic power into the projection.

A few days passed in a flash. Galadriel was dripping the content of a potion onto the golden egg.

However, the potion was absorbed as soon as it came into contact with the golden egg.

There was no response.

“It still doesn’t work. Other than the Philosopher’s Blood last time, nothing you brought has any effect.”

“I think activating the golden egg’s ability requires very powerful magic power. The magic power of those alchemy potions is not enough.”

Galadriel handed the pill bottle to Undine, who was beside her.

Undine is in a difficult position.

“Your Majesty, I know the effect of the Philosopher’s Blood, but we can’t enter the wasteland to obtain that mother beast’s blood now. The loss of forcing our way in is too great.”

“And after so long, many areas where materials are located have been occupied by various forces.”

“I don’t think I can extract the Philosopher’s Blood in time.”

Undine has not been idle these past few days. She has reached many places through teleportation magic.

Many materials for refining the Philosopher’s Blood became extremely difficult to obtain. Although some factions could communicate, it was hard to guarantee that they would not guess something.

Not to mention that the Philosopher’s Blood still needed a few years to be refined.

There was a high chance that this would fail.

One had to know that at the beginning of the refinement, Undine’s luck actually accounted for more than half.

Galadriel pondered at Undine’s words.

“Is there any equivalent material that can directly replace it? The Golden Forest is still very rich.”

“No, any alchemy is a formula obtained after countless experiments.”

“This is the Philosopher’s Blood. Changing it rashly can easily cause an explosion, but Your Majesty’s words reminded me of something.”

“Now we’ve established that the golden egg won’t react to something with less magic.”

“But it doesn’t prove that the golden egg will only respond to the Philosopher’s Blood. Perhaps we can replace the Philosopher’s Blood with something else!”

Undine’s words made Galadriel realize this. Immediately, Undine stepped forward and spoke.

“Over the past few days, I’ve thought of two suitable substitutes through observation. One is the Elf Dew, the other is the Golden Lake.”

Galadriel fell into thought.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling to take out these two things, but either one was important to the elves.

The Elf Dew was the essence condensed from the mental power of countless elves. As long as a dying elf used a drop, they could escape the gates of hell.

Because it only condensed a drop every hundred years, it was abnormally precious to the elves.

Back then, Lehr had chosen to betray them because of the Elf Dew.

As for the Golden Lake, it was not filled with ordinary water.

Instead, it was the high concentration of magic power slowly condensed by the Ancient Elven Tree through its roots over the years.

Normally, even Galadriel could not enter without permission.

This was because the magic power stored here could only be used in times of extinction.

Therefore, in a sense, these two items were even more important than the three holy relics of the elves.

On one side was the Ancient Elven Tree, and on the other was the supreme treasure of the elves. Galadriel was in a difficult position.

She wanted to save the ancient tree, but she had to be responsible for the entire elf race!

“Your Majesty, something happened outside the city!”

Just as Galadriel was hesitating about this, a flustered elf envoy ran in.

“What happened?”

The elf was obviously very tired, but Undine was a little puzzled.

She knew the patrol arrangements. This elf envoy called Gina was patrolling around Jadeite City.

No matter how big the Jadeite City was, the elves who could fly would not be so tired.

Gina answered, breathing hard.

“Just now, I was patrolling outside the city with a forest patrol. When I reached an area, the magic in my body suddenly disappeared.”

“I’m fine. The others are badly injured from falling from a high altitude. There’s a very strange stone where they fell!”

Undine seemed to think of something through Gina’s description.

Beside him, Galadriel also pondered for a moment. Then she spoke.

“Lead the way. We’ll see what’s going on when we get there.”

Following Gina, Galadriel and the others quickly arrived outside the city.

There were already many elves gathered ahead. The whispering elves looked a little panicked.

The auras of Galadriel and Undine scattered the elves.

Undine walked over to the injured nearby while Galadriel came to the clearing surrounded by the elves and saw a dark stone.
