In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　The silver-haired goddess smiled meaningfully and said, "You can go and buy it yourself, but there isn't a single house within hundreds of kilometers, and it won't be easy to find this place again after you leave!"

　Roy's pupils contracted as he recalled the constantly changing treasure locations on the treasure map. "Goddess, what does this cake have to do with this cave?"

　The silver-haired goddess snorted coldly, basically saying, "Take it or leave it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

　After repeated questioning yielded no results, Roy's gaze lingered between the Wind Chaser Boots and the Steel Armguards.

　Finally, he removed the steel arm guards.

　The steel arm guards can even block the magic of a LV.3 adventurer, but the Wind Chaser Boots increase the chance of survival. Roy doesn't like to defend and is more good at offense.

　The silver-haired goddess accepted the steel arm guards and smiled, "Wise child, may the Earth God bless you!"

　Roy thought to himself, "Please don't even think about it. I still want to beat your Earth God!"

　"Goodbye, Goddess." Roy picked up the bamboo basket and walked towards the cave.

　Watching Roy's receding figure, the silver-haired goddess fiddled with her arm guards and muttered to herself, "You little rascal, I'm the one who lost out the most. This kind of trash equipment used to be used by my newbies."

　As she spoke, a sense of desolation appeared on her face. At this point, what else was there to say?

Chapter 72 Remarks on the launch

　I received a notification from the editor that it's going to be published soon.

　Let me chat briefly with you all.

　How to describe the fanfiction of DanMachi? It's niche, very niche. The original work is not very popular in China. There are probably less than fifty DanMachi fanfictions on the entire internet, and even fewer have been successfully completed.

　Ultimately, it's because DanMachi has too many settings.

　Those who have only watched the anime probably won't have much of a feeling about it, but those who have read the novel will have a deep understanding.

　The author spent a month completely reading through Omori's main novel, as well as the side stories of Sword Princess and Ryu, and another half month preparing the outline and detailed outline before starting to write, so the cost was a bit high.

　Choosing to write fanfiction is a huge risk for an author. There aren't many potential readers for DanMachi, and no matter how well you write it, the ceiling won't be very high, and the probability of it flopping is very high. My friends also advised me to write evergreen works like Naruto and One Piece, but I still plunged headfirst into it.

　I mainly got hooked on the second half of the fourth season of the anime and became a fan of Ryu.

　Once you enter Dituo, it's like entering a deep sea...

　The author is just a writer and not good at managing group chats, so he doesn't create any. Every time he sees group members leaving the group one by one, he feels very heartbroken.

　Just add me on QQ: 1334203414. At least I didn't know you deleted me...

　If you want the original novel of Danma: Danma, you can ask me for it; the content is much more detailed than the anime.

　Writing a book is not easy, especially taking on such a challenging task with low returns. I hope my godfathers can support me.

　Let me tell you about the update.

　After it's released, there will be a surge in updates for a while, but how long that will last is unknown. The reason is that DanMachi has a lot of detailed settings, and in order not to make mistakes, I occasionally have to go back to the original work to confirm.

　Finding just one or two sentences from millions of words is an agonizing experience. That's why the author types slowly, probably only managing a little over a thousand words an hour.

　The daily update after the burst update ends is 6,000 words.

　Regarding the extra chapter rules, I used to think this was unnecessary because all chapters are paid after publication, and the more you write, the more royalties you'll get. As long as you don't die from writing, just write as much as you can...

　Looking back now, I realize I was too young.

　As the author spends more and more time sitting in front of the computer, his eyesight and back have deteriorated significantly. Five meters away, without his glasses, he can no longer clearly see faces, only blurry colors.

　Therefore, setting rules for extra chapters is actually meant to limit authors, so they don't risk their lives.

　One more chapter for every 10,000 fan points, and one hundred fan points for every monthly ticket voted.

　An extra chapter will be added for every 500 total monthly votes.

　These two are separate. Extra chapters will be marked, or you can ask me for screenshots via QQ.

　I promise not to let everyone down. Thank you to all my godfathers and editor Good Luck for your support!

Chapter 73 The Mysterious Cave (Please Subscribe)

　The cave's constantly changing location, the mysterious goddess at its entrance, the cake obtained in exchange for epic equipment—the eerie situation made Roy more vigilant the moment he stepped into the cave.

　Suddenly, blue flames erupted from the wooden handles on both sides of the cave, extending deep into the cave.

　Roy swallowed hard, approaching the flames. Instead of feeling a burning sensation, he felt a bone-chilling cold, and he couldn't help but shrink back. The deeper he stared into the cave, the more a nameless fear welled up inside him.

　"call!"

　Roy took a deep breath and cautiously entered the cave, heading deeper into it.

　The surroundings were eerily quiet, like a ghost town, and even the sound of one's own footsteps was amplified infinitely.

　As if he were in an underground city, the concepts of time and space became blurred. Roy felt like he had only walked for a dozen seconds. When he turned around, he could no longer see the entrance.

　About three or four minutes later, a fork in the road appeared. Roy glanced at the map and headed to the left.

　call out!

　Just as Roy was about to enter the left-hand intersection, he suddenly noticed several dark figures flash past in the right-hand passage and quickly slip into a dark corner.

　It was moving so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.

　"It's actually a human?"

　"He came in? How dare he come in?"

　"Hurry up and leave, we'll be finished if we run into 'that'!"

　The several dark figures whispered among themselves; though their voices were soft, they could still be heard in the silent cave.

　Roy stared intently, a shiver running through him. The shadowy figures were neither monsters nor humans, but rather blue orbs of light draped in gray cloaks, like ghosts.

　I saw a ghost in broad daylight!

　Roy remembered the silver-haired goddess's warning: he must not enter other areas and could only pretend not to see them.

　Several dark figures followed closely behind him.

　The two go one after the other, without interfering with each other.

　Following the map, Roy crossed one intersection after another, seemingly without end.

　A bead of cold sweat trickled down Roy's forehead. The cave passages were all identical, with no landmarks, making it feel even more eerie than the underground city. He tried to make a mark on the wall with a stone, but after a few seconds, the mark faded away, leaving nothing behind.

　Without a map, Roy was certain he would never be able to find his way back.

　Roar!

　Suddenly, Roy heard a roar, like a dog or a wolf, and his mind felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, a sharp pain shooting through his brain. Roy knelt on the ground, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, a strong sense of crisis enveloping him.

　He had never heard such a strange sound before.

　"It's coming, it's coming!"

　"This human is dead, I'm telling you!"

　The shadowy figures that had been following Roy were terrified and scattered in all directions, running away with their heads in their hands.

　After waiting for a while, the roaring sound continued to ring out, but no one could be seen.

　Roy gritted his teeth, thinking that the timid would starve while the bold would thrive, and continued along the passage.

　The cave passage seemed endless, and the occasional roars were deafening. Under this double pressure, Roy's spirit was on the verge of collapse. He didn't know what he was doing; he just kept walking forward.

　Finally, after who knows how much time had passed.

　A cavern appeared before Roy, and his previously cloudy eyes shone brightly, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw. "We're here!"

　Roy glanced down at the map, his face lighting up with delight. The two points of light he marked were almost perfectly aligned with the location of the treasure. He strode into the cave. Inside, the wooden handles on the walls ignited with blue flames.

　The cave was empty except for a crystal coffin in the center.

　Inside the coffin lay an elven maiden, possessing a beauty surpassing even that of a goddess, with emerald green hair, sleeping peacefully—a true Sleeping Beauty.

　Her stunning beauty even amazed Roy.

　Just as Roy approached, the elven princess slowly opened her eyes. Her emerald eyes reflected Roy's appearance. She was startled at first, then overjoyed.

　"My hero, I've finally waited for you."

　The elven princess sat up, her small face showing a pitiful expression. She stretched out her lotus-root-like, jade-white arms as if to hug Roy, who took a step back. Roy asked, "Who are you?"

　The elven princess spoke with gentle grace, "I am Celtia. A thousand years ago, I fought a monster that emerged from the dungeon and was severely wounded. This place has been able to nurture my body, keeping it intact for a thousand years. I have been waiting for a hero to appear and help me recover..."

　Roy's eyes were strange. That familiar line: "I, Qin Shi Huang, send me the money!"

　Suddenly, the elven princess froze.

　She looked down and saw Roy's half-sword piercing her chest without mercy.

　"why?"

　The Elf Princess looked on in disbelief.

　"Before I came in, a goddess told me, 'Don't trust anyone!'" Roy grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. The alluring fragrance and soft touch were too real; even Roy couldn't detect a single flaw, almost causing him to succumb to its allure. It was truly terrifying.

　"hateful!"

　In an instant, the stunningly beautiful elven princess's face contorted into a grotesque grimace, her features twisted into a demonic form, her hands transforming into sharp claws as she viciously lunged at Roy. Lord of Thunder!

　Roy was enveloped in golden lightning, crackling and illuminating the entire cavern with intense light.

　Upon touching the golden lightning on Roy's body, the originally aggressive "elf princess" instantly withdrew her claws, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

　Her figure transformed into a blue ball of light and fled in panic towards the cave entrance. It was exactly the same as the group of dark figures Roy had just seen, and they were some kind of eerie beings.

　However, Roy was faster than her.

　Roy activated the special effects of his Wind Chaser Boots, his legs wrapped in a whirlwind, and took a step forward.

　Roy instantly bridged the gap between the two, pinned the other against the wall, and gathered golden lightning in his fist, delivering a heavy punch to the blue orb of light.

　boom! !

　The fierce fist pierced through the entire ball of light and slammed heavily against the wall, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding walls.

　Golden lightning, like countless lightning snakes, crawled across the entire body of the "Elf Princess," and with a sharp scream, the "Elf Princess's" figure vanished into thin air.

　After doing all this, Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

　When he turned his head, he saw that the crystal coffin contained no longer the elven princess who had slept for a thousand years; all that remained was a pile of yellow earth, washed away by the passage of time. There was also a longsword buried with them, covered in dust from years of storage. Roy picked it up and casually swung it around; its condition looked even worse than his own village sword.

　Roy really wanted to cry now.

　He traveled all this way, but got nothing; he even sold his steel arm guards.

　At that moment, Roy noticed a flash of red light in the ashes out of the corner of his eye. He quickly stepped forward, brushed aside the ashes, and found a blood-red crystal lying quietly inside.

　Roy picked up the blood-red crystal as if it were a precious treasure, and in that instant, a panel popped up in front of him.

　[Congratulations on obtaining Celtia's royal blood!]

Chapter 74 Royal Power and the Holy Sword (Please Subscribe)

　Name: The Blood of Celtia

　Quality: Uncertain

　Introduction: The most precious royal blood of the Elf King Saintess Celtia. Drinking it will enhance one's magical aptitude and has a certain probability of awakening a special skill. Roy's eyes lit up when he saw the introduction on the panel. Finally, he had gotten something good.

　A broken sword and a drop of blood were all he had to show for his journey. Life was tough, Roy sighed.

　Without hesitation, Roy wiped the ashes off the blood-red crystal, casually tossed it into his mouth, and it melted in his mouth like a ripe peach, sliding down his throat.

　Despite being described as blood crystals, Roy couldn't detect any bloody smell; instead, it had a slightly sweet taste.

　And the reaction came quickly.

　A surge of intense heat emanated from his lower abdomen, spreading throughout his body. Roy felt his body getting hotter and hotter, his temperature rapidly soaring to over fifty degrees Celsius. An ordinary person would faint from the heat on the spot; only an adventurer's physique could withstand it.

　"Hoo! Hoo!"

　His body temperature continued to rise, and Roy's breath was even tinged with flames. He stared wide-eyed, as if he had messed up. He hadn't said he would have this kind of reaction, and even his "adventure" ability had been activated.

　Roy rushed to the blue flames, feeling the biting cold. His body, which was about to explode, was forcibly suppressed, experiencing both ice and fire.

　"Roar!!"
