Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 23: The Fantastic Scenery in the Treasure Vault!

The information about the Elven capital's treasury was only given to Lin Yi by the old tree after he specifically inquired about it.

It wasn't that the old tree intentionally wanted to keep anything secret.

It was because when the Elf Empire was destroyed, the entire capital was looted, not to mention the nation's treasury. Finding even half a gold coin inside was considered good luck for Lin Yi.

Therefore, the old tree did not bring up the matter of the treasure vault.

I think Lin Yi will have made a wasted trip.

Lin Yi was eyeing the treasure vault and also wanted to try her luck.

Even knowing that the treasure trove might be cleaner than his face, he still felt somewhat unwilling to not go and see it.

"The old tree said that the treasure vault is located beneath the city lord's mansion."

"It's long since buried under the rubble..."

Lin Yi released her spiritual consciousness to search for the Bone Temple and the nearby architectural ruins.

After a long time, nothing was found.

"It must have been buried quite deep."

"Never mind, we'll dig three feet into the ground to find the entrance to the treasure vault."

As she spoke, Lin Yi waved the magic wand in her hand.

Instantly, a fireball nearly ten meters in diameter flew rapidly toward the bone palace in front.

Now that Lin Yi has advanced to the King rank, the power of the magic he wields has also become much stronger.

As the fireball struck the Bone Temple.

A tremendous roar suddenly rang out.

And accompanied by terrifying waves of fire surging in all directions.

Wherever the fire passed, whether it was ruins or bones, everything was burned to ashes.

Then Lin Yi released several more fireballs, which quickly destroyed the Bone Palace and burned the nearby ruins to the ground.

When the flames died down, what appeared before Lin Yi was a scorched earth.

There is no treasure vault entrance at all.

However, Lin Yi did not give up, and he waved his magic wand again.

In a short while, fiery dragons, each over twenty meters long, appeared in the sky.

Although these fire dragons are magical creations, their appearance still exudes a power that is difficult to describe in words.

Under Lin Yi's control~

Several fiery dragons swooped down from the sky and crashed headfirst into the scorched ground.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and a deafening roar resounded.

A terrifying wave of fire, carrying smoke and dust, instantly swept across an area of ​​hundreds of meters. Even Lin Yi was not spared; she was engulfed by the scorching flames and could no longer be seen.

The flames did not go out until a very long time had passed.

At this moment, Lin Yi's figure also appeared.

Unharmed.

Even the robes he wore were completely undamaged.

The flames automatically moved around him when they were still several meters away.

Lin Yi walked to the place where the Flame Dragon had attacked, where a large crater with a diameter of more than two hundred meters had appeared.

He searched carefully inside the large pit.

After a long time, they finally found a dented spot.

After clearing away the rubble from the depression, a dimly lit passage came into view.

The passage is several meters in diameter and was clearly carved out by human hands.

Not only are there steps leading straight into the passage, but also long-extinguished bronze candles on both sides of the passage. Now, the candles are covered with cobwebs and dust.

"This is it."

Lin Yi waved her magic wand.

A fireball half a meter in diameter appeared at the top of the wand, illuminating his path.

He walked down the steps into the depths of the passage.

The passage is not long, only about 100 meters long.

After passing through the passage, Lin Yi found herself in a slightly larger space, directly opposite a stone door. One side of the stone door was completely open, while the other side was smashed.

"This is the true entrance to the treasure vault."

Lin Yi stepped forward and reached out to touch the open stone door.

A faint glow can be seen on the surface of the stone gate.

"This is an elven magical restriction, capable of resisting magical attacks and verifying elven bloodlines... Unfortunately, the magical restriction on it is incomplete and dilapidated, and its power has almost completely disappeared." At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something.

He communicated with the system and asked, "How many energy crystals are needed to repair the magical restrictions on this?"

—【This is a magical restriction set up by several demigod-level powerhouses working together; repairing it requires 300,000 energy crystals.】

"..."

Lin Yi rolled her eyes.

His original plan was to repair the magical restrictions and see if he could learn anything from it.

Anyway, he has a system, so he doesn't need to use his brain to learn things.

But upon hearing the system's reply, he immediately dismissed the idea.

The magical restrictions set up by the demigods must contain a great deal of "knowledge," but let's wait until we have more money later.

I can't afford to learn that now!

He then passed through the stone gate and entered the treasure vault.

This is an extremely large underground cave. Even after Lin Yi summoned more than a dozen huge fireballs and placed them above the cave, he still couldn't see the entire cave.

"Back then, this place must have been piled high with the treasures of the Elven Empire."

"It contains countless gold coins, gems, magical metals, and gold and silver artifacts..."

Lin Yi whispered as he walked through the dimly lit treasure vault, summoning a giant fireball every so often to illuminate the surrounding area.

Under his perfect control, all the fireballs hovered above the treasure vault.

As long as the magic power remains, these fireballs will not go out.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Lin Yi finally finished exploring the entire treasure vault.

Just like the old tree said, he couldn't even find half a gold coin.

The treasure vault was looted clean; even a mouse would weep at the sight of it.

"Damn demons and evil races."

"I'd be happy if you left me even a broken piece or two!"

Lin Yi grumbled, but he had the system to back him up; as long as he could afford the energy crystals, anything could be repaired.

As a result, the entire treasure vault, apart from being covered in dust, was cleaner than his face.

Unwilling to give up, he searched again, leaving no corner of the treasure vault unchecked, but ultimately found nothing.

"As expected, windfall gains are not so easy to come by."

"Let's go back and focus on developing our territory..."

Lin Yi composed herself, feeling disappointed, and prepared to leave the treasure vault.

He was somewhat disappointed at not finding the "legacy" of the Elf Empire, but it wasn't too unacceptable. The old tree had warned him beforehand, and he was mentally prepared.

But at this very moment...

Lin Yi suddenly noticed that there were starlight points in front of her.

Those starlights had no magical fluctuations whatsoever.

He reached out with his magic wand to touch it, but it passed right through him, as if it were an illusion.

Gradually, more and more starlight appeared around him, all of it coming from the ground beneath his feet.

It rose from the ground and floated in mid-air.

"What is it?"

Lin Yi was puzzled, but her body language betrayed her as she moved toward the stone gate.

He would flee for his life at the slightest sign of trouble.

A moment later, under Lin Yi's astonished gaze, the starlight floating in mid-air began to merge and gradually revealed illusory figures.

Among those figures were beautiful and pure elves, and tree-men tens of meters tall.

There are dazzling and colorful fairy dragons and pure white unicorns.

There were also giant birds burning with golden flames.

"That giant bird..."

"It should be the Phoenix Guardian that the old tree mentioned."

"An intelligent race also belonging to the elven faction, possessing immense combat power!"

Lin Yi took a deep breath; the scene before her was too fantastical.

As time passed, more and more figures appeared, all of them from the elven faction. He also saw elven dragons, forest giants, elemental spirits, flower spirits…
