Chapter 4: Conspiracy: Stealing Skulls
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The elves were always loved by humans because of their beauty.
These hunters who wandered around the outskirts of the forest hunted beautiful adult elves in exchange for a massive sum of profit.
In human history, there was even a saying: a servant could be passed down for three generations.
It meant that a human family would pass down an elf slave for three generations.
In the eyes of humans, this was a very wonderful thing.
The price of a female elf was enough for an ordinary person to buy a luxurious house in the most luxurious area of the human race.
This was also why there were still a large number of hunters lurking at the periphery of the forest, even at the risk of their lives.
“Barton, what are you doing here? Did you find it?” The leading Hunter said impatiently.
“Of course. Why would I call you here otherwise?” The elf Dubeeca walked up to them. They were the elf who had casted the sleeping spell.
“Where is it?” The leader of the Hunters asked, his eyes shining brightly. “This time, we pretended to be Hunters and mingled in the outer area of the Heavenly Night Forest. It has been too long. If the humans, orcs, and elves find out, our secret will be exposed.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already found Rufael’s skull. There’s no rush.” A dark light flashed in Dubeeca’s eyes. “But what did you promise me?”
Rufael’s skull?
Could it be the legendary Lich King, Rufael?
Chris, who was in the wooden house, was instantly shocked.
There was a legend that thousands of years ago, the Necromancer Rufael, in order to obtain eternal life, did not hesitate to use a forbidden spell to transform himself into an undead creature. He was titled The Lich King.
After that, the War of the Dark Sky Curtain was launched.
Under the leadership of the Lich King, the army of the Undead conquered the humans and many city-states of the orcs.
Even the elves, which had lived in seclusion for generations, were affected.
Later, under the joint efforts of the humans, orcs, and elves, The Lich King was defeated and sealed.
Moreover, in order to prevent the followers of the Lich King from resurrecting him, they sealed him in the territory of the three main races.
The elves had sealed Rufael’s skull, and the location of the seal was in the Moon Well.
This was what Chris had found in the handwritten notes left behind by the previous generation of Moon Guardians.
“Dubeeca, you’re doubting the Holy King’s methods.” The human leader frowned.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant!” Dubeeca explained. “I’ve never doubted the methods of your Holy King. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the alchemy potion that he personally concocted and forcefully regressed from a Level 9 Archmage to a Level 8 Archmage.”
Dubeeca’s words made Chris’ gaze freeze.
On this continent, there was a group of very mysterious people who liked to make strange things.
They made things like armor, weapons, potions, and magic staffs.
They were also known as alchemists.
However, this Holy King’s methods were too unbelievable. To be able to turn a human into an elf who can’t be detected!
“Dubeeca, don’t worry. As long as you lead us to Rufael’s skull, our Holy King will definitely assist you in breaking through to Saint-level,” the human leader said.
The lifespan of a human could not be compared to that of an elf. Ordinary people only had a lifespan of a hundred years. Only those powerful mages could extend their own life spans longer.
Only by breaking through to Saint-level could they continue to live.
Dubeeca was already 110 years old. A part of his life span was already gone after consuming the secret alchemy potion.
If he could not break through to the Saint-level, he probably would not have a few months to live.
“I don’t care what you want Rufael’s skull for. I just want to get the secret potion that can help me break through to my Saint-level as soon as possible,” Dubeeca said stubbornly.
It seemed that he would not take further action before he saw the potion for himself.
The leader narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Our Holy King had expected you to say that, so he has already asked me to bring the secret potion over.”
He snatched the bottle from his hand and Dubeeca opened the bottle cap to smell it. His face immediately lit up with joy. “Such a strong medicinal effect! There is no mistake. As long as I take this bottle of potion, I will be able to break through from a Level 9 Archmage to Saint-level.”
“Don’t be agitated. Our Holy King said that you are still an elf and must first transform into a human. Otherwise, if the two medicinal effects clash in your body, you will only die.”
Dubeeca did not doubt the human leader’s words.
To be precise, he trusted the Holy King. When he came, he had indeed taken a bottle of potion and transformed from a human into an elf.
Now that he had the potion, he was still afraid that the Holy King would change his mind. This was not good for him.
“Since I have gotten what I want, let’s take out Rufael’s skull and leave this place together!”
“You mean that the skull is sealed here.” Following Dubeeca’s line of sight, the human leader looked at the Moon Well.
Not only did he not expect it, the others who followed him also did not expect it.
The Lich King’s skull, which had once activated the Dark Sky Curtain and caused the three great races to fall into darkness, was actually sealed at the border of the Elves’ territory
No one was guarding it. Oh. No, there was one person.
It was Chris.
When he first heard the news, Chris was also shocked.
He came to his senses and started Percepting their every move.
“Come, let’s open the seal under the Moon Well and take out the Lich King’s skull.” Dubeeca already could not wait.
He wanted to go back immediately and ask the Holy King to help him recover his body.
He wanted to enjoy the joy of breaking through to Saint-level. As long as he took the secret potion, he could become a true Saint-level powerhouse.
With excitement, Dubeeca took out a map from his pocket. On it was a clear record of the formation around the Moon Well.
“With this, we can successfully take the skull without the elves noticing.”
“Well done. When we go back, I will definitely report this to the Holy King and credit you. Other than breaking through to Saint-level, you can also get other rewards.”
As the Hunter leader spoke, he ordered his subordinates to follow the map’s arrangement and began to remove the seal at the Moon Well.
About ten minutes later, the group removed the seal.
Under the moonlight, they took out a golden box.
“This is the legendary skull of the Great Lich King. I have finally completed the mission the Holy King gave me. The Holy King will definitely trust me more in the future.” The leader’s eyes were filled with excitement.
He was only a Level 8 Swordsman, yes, but what if he was valued by the Holy King?
He would surely be able to break through to Saint-level in the future. Thinking of this, he was full of energy and could not wait to rush to the Holy King.
“Hmm, why’s there someone else around?”
Just as he was about to leave with his people, he suddenly sensed Chris’ aura. Bajeel, the Hunters’ leader, looked murderous.
“There’s no need to make a fuss. It’s just a young elf who can’t cultivate. I’ve already cast a sleeping spell.”
