Chapter 994: Chapter 913: The Treasure That Even the Elf Queen Was Shocked By

"Besides, Ms. Wu Qing was willing to squander all the points she had painstakingly accumulated for my sake, how could I justify keeping anything from you?"

Su Ran grinned and continued, "Anyway, these are just consumables, they’re not worth much. As long as you don’t mind, they’re all yours."

"Forget it, I won’t bother you anymore, it’s your stuff and you have the right to decide." freёweɓnovel.com

Banana chuckled heartily as he collected the pile of crystals, eyes gleaming while staring at the treasure from Black Abyss Lake in Su Ran’s hands, he couldn’t wait to speak up, "Overturning Water, if you don’t open that chest soon, someone’s probably going to send a blade to your home!"

"What a load of nonsense, it’s just that giving you guys the crystals took some extra time,"

Su Ran glared at Banana before rubbing his bone claws together, inserting the key in the slot, and muttering praises to the Almighty System, he popped the chest open on the spot.

"Click."

A crisp sound hooked everyone’s attention, even Ling Wei, who seemed aloof, couldn’t hide her curiosity and quietly stepped forward, her gaze locked on the golden chest.

"I must say, the luck of this Skeleton Warrior is truly unheard of."

The Elf Queen, after seeing the key take effect, finally believed Su Ran’s words—that this chest was the special treasure hidden at the bottom of Black Abyss Lake!

However, she had no intention of joining the crowd; having lived for so many thousands of years, what kind of storms hadn’t she witnessed? How could she be flustered by such a trifle?

"My goodness, the Elf Heart!"

"Wow, and there’s the Elf Seal too! Overturning Water, you might not know, but these are sacred relics of the Elf race! I heard they had been lost for ten thousand years, I never expected them to appear here today!"

Su Ran and Banana sang in chorus. As for whether they were speaking for the Elf Queen to hear, that was something others could only guess.

As the saying goes, "the speaker has a purpose, and the listener has a heart." Upon hearing this, the Elf Queen immediately stood up, her expression changing drastically as she hurried forward. Seeing these two treasures, her face was etched with shock.

All talk of storms weathered and composure maintained, might as well be thrown out the window!

...

"It really lives up to the reputation of Black Abyss Lake’s treasure, producing so many top-notch items!"

Su Ran chuckled as he looked at the Elf Heart and Seal, glancing at the Elf Queen who had moved closer, he felt a significant sense of achievement.

That wasn’t all, Su Ran also obtained a Spirit Spring jade bottle, a skill book, a strange eyeball-shaped item, and a Corpse Hiding Map from the chest.

It must be said, chests renowned for treasure truly should not be underestimated!

"Elf Heart, Elf Seal..."

The Elf Queen, now with a profoundly complex look, asked in a trembling voice, "Skeleton Warrior, may I take a look at these two treasures?"

"Sure, but due to the supreme rules, they can only be lent for viewing in exchange for Skeleton Territory points."

Su Ran bluffed seriously, reflecting the Elf Queen’s own words right back at her.

"Skeleton Territory points? Pffft haha..."

Banana burst into laughter, but upon seeing the Elf Queen’s stony expression, he quickly clamped his mouth shut, coughing uncontrollably due to the excessive reaction.

Xue Wuqing, unlike Banana, didn’t fall apart but gave Su Ran a reproachful look before quickly urging, "Skeleton, this is no joke, apologize to Her Majesty at once!"

Su Ran knew that the joke should stop before it went too far, lest he provoke the dislike of the Elf Queen, which was not a situation he wanted to see.

After all, there were still several quests that required interacting with this NPC. Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble if things turned sour?

"Your Majesty, my words just now were thoughtless. Please, forgive me. Here are the Elf Heart and Elf Seal for your perusal."

Su Ran handed over the two newly emerged treasures to the Elven Queen. Bound by system constraints, he wasn’t worried at all that the two items would be forcibly taken by the Elven Queen, unless he voluntarily relinquished ownership.

The Elven Queen’s expression brightened from dark to sunny as she took the two artifacts into her hands and scrutinized them carefully for a while, becoming so excited that she began to speak incoherently, "These are the true sacred relics of the elves! In my lifetime, I have finally seen the lost sacred objects of the elven race!"

Hmm?

Seeing the Elven Queen’s excitement, Su Ran knew immediately that an opportunity to drive a hard bargain had presented itself. If the Elven Queen wanted to get her hands on these two treasures, she would have to pay a price, wouldn’t she?

As for how to strike the perfect deal, that was an art in itself.

However, Su Ran had yet to understand what miraculous functions the Elf Heart and Seal had that could make the Elven Queen lose her composure to such an extent. At that moment, his curiosity surged.

Of course, the premise was that he couldn’t use them himself. If they could enhance his own power, even if the heavenly emperor himself came, he wouldn’t consider trading them!

"Skeleton Warrior, these are the sacred relics lost by my elven race. I hope you can return them voluntarily."

The Elven Queen, having calmed her excited emotions, demanded the artifacts from Su Ran on the spot. In her view, as the Elven Queen, wouldn’t it be easy for her to obtain them?

But,

Su Ran was not about to eat out of her hand.

"Your Majesty, I have yet to peruse these two items and am unaware of their properties. There’s no need to rush to conclusions."

Su Ran spoke respectfully, without any sense of inferiority despite the Elven Queen’s status.

A joke, surely. The treasure chest was his after a hard-fought battle, and even the key was obtained by Xue Wuqing at a high cost of points. What had the Elven Queen contributed?

To think she could simply demand the fruits of someone else’s labor without offering anything in return—where in the world did such a cheap bargain exist?!

"This..."

The Elven Queen hadn’t expected this undead skeleton to refuse on the spot and was somewhat at a loss for words. Yet what the skeleton had said was logical. Having only just obtained the treasures and not yet having had a chance to look at them, it was only reasonable to refuse someone else’s demand for them.

"Skeleton Warrior, I sincerely hope you can return these two treasures to the elven race."

The Elven Queen, suppressing her displeasure, handed the two artifacts back to Su Ran. The intent behind her words was so clear that even a fool could understand.

"I will consider it."

Su Ran gave the Elven Queen no clear answer and took the two special items in his hands. He calmed his excited nerves and finally began examining the properties of the two artifacts.

[Elf Heart](Special) (Quest Item)

The core of the Elf Sacred Bow. Only by integrating it into the Colorful Glazed Bow can it evolve into the unique Elf Sacred Bow.

Note: The Elf Sacred Bow is the exclusive holy weapon of the successive elven kings. Returning it to the Elven Queen can yield a considerable reward.

"Hey, so it turns out that only the Elven Queen can use this Elf Heart after all!"

Su Ran recalled the Rainbow Longbow wielded by the Elven Queen and only now realized that it was merely the Colorful Glazed Bow. Only by integrating the Elf Heart could it manifest its ultimate form, the Elf Sacred Bow!
