Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 70 Treasure!

Lin Yi took the golden crystal out of the jade box and examined it carefully in her hand.

Although the crystal is a fragment, it still shines with a brilliant light.

It's like a rare gem in the world.

He probed his own consciousness into it, but it passed right through without him sensing any energy fluctuations.

Lin Yi said, "There seems to be an aura of light."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The elven priestess Anna said, "While His Majesty was meditating, we studied it for a long time and even asked Chieftain Ifra to examine it, but we still couldn't figure out what this crystal was."

"The only thing I know is..."

"This crystal retains an aura of holiness and light, and it is extremely pure."

"It's presumably from the Light faction, and it's of high quality."

"Um."

Lin Yi nodded.

His intuition told him that this thing was something special.

He immediately communicated with the system, asking in his mind, "System, what is the origin of this thing, and how many energy crystals will it take to repair it?"

He quickly received a response from the system.

—[Congratulations, host, you have obtained one fragment of the Heart of a Two-Winged Angel.]

—Repairing the current fragments of the Angel's Heart requires 500,000 Energy Crystals.

"..."

Lin Yi was immediately shocked.

The system's answer gave him a huge shock.

He never expected that this thing would be related to the angel race.

"System, explain Angel Heart!"

—【The Angel's Heart is the source of an angel's energy and the abode of their soul. It is incredibly hard and cannot be broken by ordinary means. When an angel falls, the Angel's Heart within them automatically returns to the Reincarnation Pool and is resurrected as a newborn angel.】

"Angel's Heart, Reincarnation Pool, Resurrection..."

Lin Yi was deeply shocked.

His first thought was that if war were to break out with the angels in the future, he would definitely dig out the angelic hearts of the fallen angels as soon as possible, and seal or shatter them... anything goes.

They can't be allowed to return to the reincarnation pool.

Otherwise, we'll have to kill them all over again.

As for why fragments of the Angel Heart would appear in the goblin kingdom's treasury, it's not entirely inexplicable.

In the battle to defend the elven capital, all races of the world participated.

This includes angels.

Angels are the primary force in fighting demons, so it's quite normal for them to come and help protect the elven capital.

During the battle, angels inevitably fell, and their hearts were shattered and buried underground... eventually being dug up by goblins who loved to dig many years later.

Lin Yi felt that her speculation was probably correct.

……

"The repair requires 500,000 energy crystals, which is a bit pricey!"

Lin Yi looked at the fragment of the Angel Heart in her hand.

He already has 500,000 energy crystals, but he's a little reluctant to part with them.

With so many energy crystals, training elf archers could directly expand the army by ten thousand.

Just then, a system notification appeared in his mind again—[The Angel's Heart contains the purest source of divine and light power, which is extremely helpful for the host to comprehend the mysteries of the element of light.]

"System, you're actually answering questions without being asked!"

This guy is eyeing the energy crystal in his hand.

They tried to turn him into a penniless pauper time and time again through various means.

The Sun Elf King's Scepter in his hand hasn't been repaired yet; that's a real "huge investment," requiring a full thirty million energy crystals—even selling him wouldn't be enough.

Let's talk about it later.

His next plan is to clean up the entire ancient city ruins.

This requires a massive expansion of the legion.

He couldn't waste energy crystals repairing the Angel's Heart, because even if he comprehended the mysteries of the Light Element with the help of the Angel's Heart, he still wouldn't be able to advance to the Saint rank. That's because his 'experience' wasn't full yet.

Once he has enough experience, his level will be able to break through.

There will be plenty of time to comprehend the mysteries of the elements and create one's own domain world later.

Without further thought, he stored the fragment of the Angel's Heart in his hand into his spatial belt and said to the elven priestess Anna, "This thing is indeed a treasure, but we don't need it now."

"Bring me the energy crystal; I need to train my elf soldiers."

"Also, remember to distribute the captured spatial equipment to the hippogriff riders. With spatial equipment, transporting spoils will be much easier in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Anna nodded.

He then summoned a group of elves who presented the harvested energy crystals to Lin Yi.

There are a total of nearly 770,000.

Lin Yi had planned ahead, so he went straight to the War Tree and used 500,000 energy crystals to train a total of 10,000 elven archers.

At this point, the total size of his elven army exceeded 20,000.

Of these, approximately 17,000 were elven archers.

With such a terrifying scale, if it were to encounter a combined force like the Goblin Kingdom and the Lizardman Tribe, a single volley of fire could potentially crush their camp.

But this is not enough.

Lin Yi also plans to further enhance the war power of the elven archer army.

He arrived at the Temple of the Gods and, at the cost of consuming 10,000 energy crystals, upgraded the Temple of the Gods from a low-level to a mid-level.

The Temple Bestowed by the Gods

[Building Information: A divinely bestowed temple is indispensable for a territory to become stronger.]

[Level: Intermediate]

[Currently unlocked enhancement categories: Troop Enhancement - Intermediate Physical Attack, Intermediate Physical Defense, Intermediate Magic Attack, Intermediate Magic Defense; Building Enhancement - Tree of Life]

Upgrade Requirement: 100,000 Energy Crystals

[Special Note: Upgrading the Temple of Divine Gifts will unlock more enhancement categories and allow you to increase enhancement levels.]

[Note: Enhancement levels are not shared between different unit classes.]

……

[Intermediate Physical Attack: Increases the physical attack of the user's class/unit by three times. Requires 100,000 Energy Crystals.]

[Intermediate Physical Defense: Increases the physical defense of the user's class/unit by three times. Requires 100,000 energy crystals.]

[Intermediate Magic Attack: ...]

[Intermediate Magic Defense: ...]

……

"A new building enhancement has been added?"

"It can strengthen the Tree of Life."

Lin Yi clicked on it out of curiosity and found that strengthening the Tree of Life also required 100,000 energy crystals, and the effect was to increase the number of sprites spawned by 10%.

"nice one!"

"Currently, the Tree of Life breeds 10,000 sprites per day. After the enhancement, the daily breeding number will increase to 11,000..."

Lin Yi gave a big thumbs up.

However, now is not the time to strengthen it.

The territory has enough sprites for now.

It's not too late to strengthen the Tree of Life after the ancient city ruins are cleared out.

Without hesitation, he immediately added the [Intermediate Physical Attack Enhancement] to the Elf Archer unit, increasing its attack power by three times.

With a triple attack boost, defeating enemies of higher levels becomes a breeze.

……

After this wave of consumption, Lin Yi only had nearly 160,000 energy crystals left, which he used to train elven mages, training more than 500 in total.

By this time, the number of elven mages under his command had reached more than 1,500.

Lin Yi plans to give the elven mages a boost once their legion has expanded.
