Soon, stepping over charred corpses, he found several human bodies hiding in a small, ruined hut.
Judging from the way they died, even though the house was burned down and collapsed, these people didn't dare to go outside.
Several hundred meters away from them, there were indeed several orc warrior corpses. These orcs were trapped by the flames and unable to get close to the humans. In the end, they died under Lyanna's barrage of arrows.
"Boss, it's inside the third corpse! Cut it open and take a look!"
As Jia Zhengyi pointed out the details, Su Lin drew his knife and deftly pried open the human corpse Jia Zhengyi had indicated, revealing a bright yellow sphere inside the stomach.
"Um?"
Su Lin squatted down and examined it carefully.
The sphere was about the size of a fist, and its bright yellow color, like gold, made it very eye-catching.
However, this peculiar luster is not the true color of the object, but rather a faint yellow light that floats on the surface.
"Mechanized items?"
Su Lin reached out to take it, and soon a new notification appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the "Earth-type Ultimate Magic Ball - Scepter Gem".]
【Ultimate Earth Magic Ball】: It originated from a learned earth magician in history and was created by him. It has extremely pure earth magic energy and can provide the holder with powerful earth magic perception, transmission efficiency, and enhance the power of the earth magic released by 100%. It does not consume any magic power when releasing earth magic; it also has a 50% buff effect on other magic types.
[Scepter Gem (Item Component Explanation)]: This magic orb was once offered to the "Magic Association" and became one of the most precious collectibles among magicians; shortly thereafter, it was purchased for a large sum by a king of the human empire and set into the top of a powerful scepter, becoming one of the key materials for forging the "Holy Scepter".
[Item Value]: 10 million resource coins.
[Special Restrictions]: This "accessory" cannot be taken out of the current game alone, cannot be traded, cannot be bound, and cannot be used directly.
"A magic orb? A holy scepter?"
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. This thing was actually worth 10 million resource coins!
According to Su Lin's understanding, something involving tens of millions... must be at least a [Color-level] item!
"This tiny ball is so expensive!"
"Could it be a local treasure, something similar to the [Peace Stone]?"
Su Lin pondered, but this ball must have some limitations. The instruction that it "cannot be used directly" proved that these humans never used any powerful magic until their deaths.
Clearly, the ball's power seems to have been "sealed".
They possessed a priceless treasure, yet could not use it to escape.
Jia Zhengyi noticed Su Lin's actions and quickly reminded him, "Boss, did you get it? If you did, get out of here quickly! The reinforcements from Barota City will be arriving soon!"
"good."
Su Lin nodded and quickly turned to leave.
Just as he stood up, a new notification popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a clue to the "Unique Reward Quest" in the current game world, unlocking the unique reward quest: The Loss and Return of the Divine Scepter.]
【The Loss and Return of the Sacred Scepter】: Twelve hundred years ago, His Majesty the most enlightened king of the human empire nearly ushered in a true era of peace for this magical world! All races lived in harmony, without war! To prove and record his glorious achievements to history, His Majesty gathered nine of the most powerful magic orbs, uniting the five races of humans, elves, naga, orcs, and dwarves to forge a magic staff known as the "Sacred Scepter." It was the only [divine artifact] in this world, the highest symbol of power in the human empire, and the most coveted treasure for magicians; however, shortly after His Majesty's death, the alliance of the five races broke down, the scepter was dismantled, and the gems were scattered across the land, making it difficult to reunite its sacred power.
【Mission Requirements】: Retrieve the nine magic orbs and the scepter itself, and reassemble the "Holy Scepter".
[Task Reward]: Obtain the "Holy Scepter" that can be taken out of the current game world, and receive a pure currency reward equal to the total gains of the current game.
"Holy crap! There's another mission?!"
Su Lin was shocked. Without stopping, he quickly returned to the hillside to put away his technological weapon devices, and then, under the cover of night, he disappeared into the forest and headed back to the city.
During the journey, Su Lin relayed the details of the unique reward mission to his followers, including all the information about the Earth-type Ultimate Magic Orb.
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhengyi was overjoyed: "See! I told you, it really is a good thing!"
"The Holy Scepter?"
Xiao Linlin was also somewhat surprised, but her next words shocked Su Lin even more: "Brother, I think I know about this."
