Chapter 346 Punishment for Chris
Chris felt that he could no longer pretend to be ignorant.
He took a deep breath, changed his sitting position, knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed to the Elf King.
"Please punish me, King."
If you stick your head out, you will be cut by the knife. If you hide your head, you will be cut by the knife too. It is better to admit your mistakes sincerely!
I hope the king will give me a lighter punishment for the sake of the Water Spirit Pearl.
When Eumis heard the title "King", she looked at the blond young man sitting next to the elf in confusion.
When the little elf was recounting the story of Team Light, he'd only mentioned this human named "Ace." He'd been wondering, how could someone so strikingly beautiful not have a story?
Now seeing Chris kneeling down respectfully to him and calling him "King", his heart skipped a beat and a bold guess flashed through his mind.
Could it be... that he is the mysterious and great Elf King in the legend?
Yumis's breathing became rapid, and her pair of dark golden eyes flashed with a strange light.
The Elf King said calmly, "When we return to the Fairy Forest, I will punish you by making you collect nutrients for the sacred tree for three years."
Chris looked stunned.
Collecting nutrients for the sacred tree, isn't that the same as... cleaning toilets for all the fairies?
Although I had been punished to collect "nutrients" for the sacred tree before, it was only for a week at most.
This time it will take three years.
Three years!
"Hehe~~" The little goblins covered their mouths and laughed.
Amanda gave him a sympathetic look.
Chris was on the verge of tears, and asked smugly, "Wang, can we discuss the time?"
The Elf King smiled faintly: "Three years too short? Then five years."
"No, no, no, no—" Chris shook his hands in fear and shouted with sweat on his forehead, "Three years is good! Three years is very good!"
Kumandi took out a small notebook and wrote it down mutteringly.
"Chris was punished to collect nutrients for the sacred tree for three years."
Chris looked at Kumandi resentfully.
There’s no need, there’s really no need to write it down in a little notebook.
Yumis didn't understand what was going on, so she asked curiously, "Is it difficult to collect nutrients?"
Chris sighed, "What do you think?"
Seeing that he was dejected, Youmis put her hand on his shoulder and said righteously, "I'll help you!"
They were friends, and friends should share both good and bad times. He was to blame for Chris being punished, and he should share the punishment with him.
Chris shook his head and declined, "You're a human swordsman, you can't help."
Yumis frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Chris was confused and didn't know how to explain it to him.
"Because we have to use magic to clean all the goblin toilets!" The simple Budno said without hesitation.
silent--
Everyone on Farm's back was quiet, looking at each other, and no one spoke.
After a while, Youmis shook the muscles on his face and uttered a word with difficulty: "I really can't help."
He is a swordsman and does not know magic.
"Cough cough cough~"
Several coughs were heard.
Chris sighed to the sky, sat down cross-legged, reached out and grabbed three water spirit beads, and handed them to Shu Li: "All for you."
Shu Li took the Water Spirit Pearl and solemnly placed it in the storage ring. "Thank you."
With these three water spirit beads, they no longer have to work hard to explore the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels of the maze. They can just focus on heading towards the ninth level of the maze, saving a lot of effort.
"By the way, what's the matter with your black gold stone?" Shu Li asked.
Chris and Eumis exchanged a glance and said aggrievedly, "I don't want to offend those people, but what can I do? I'm just too good. I just dug and found a huge piece of black gold stone."
He is a restless goblin.
When I was escaping with Yumis, I hurried through the fifth level maze and didn't collect any valuable crystal ore.
Now that we have to leave the maze, we have to dig some precious minerals as souvenirs.
So they just found a mine.
Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to dig up a huge piece of black gold stone, which was estimated to weigh three tons.
He and Eumis were excited and happily dug.
The black gold stone is buried deep and is huge in size, so high-level magic must be used.
The release of high-level magic created quite a noise, attracting the guards stationed nearby.
All the mines in the fifth-level maze have owners.
The ten major forces divided the mine, and the mine that Chris dug had a very delicate geographical location, with all ten forces occupying a corner.
He caused a big fuss and offended all forces.
Originally, there were only more than a hundred people chasing them. When they learned that he had even dug up the accompanying crystal ore of the black gold stone, the ten major forces came out in full force and sent out 3,000 people to catch the mine thief.
Chris and Eumis would never surrender, so of course they took the mine and escaped.
Hence, the encounter with Team Light happened.
"What is the associated crystal mineral of black gold stone?" Amanda asked with sparkling eyes.
The dragon clan loves valuable treasures the most!
"Strong Magic Stone." The Elf King said, "A crystal stone that can increase the level of magic."
"Increase magic level?"
Others couldn't help but be shocked.
A magician's magic level needs to be gradually improved through years of training, but by absorbing the energy contained in strong magic stones, he can quickly upgrade in a short period of time.
Such a precious treasure, no wonder the ten major forces sent more than 3,000 people to hunt down Chris and Eumis.
"What does the powerful magic stone look like? Can we take a look?" Hector asked greedily.
"It looks like this." Chris casually touched the storage bag and took out a purple crystal the size of a football.
Instantly, everyone was shocked by the energy emitted by the purple crystal.
Chris held the Strong Magic Stone in both hands and respectfully handed it to the Elf King. "King, this is at your disposal."
The Elf King refused to take it, saying, "This is what you have earned through hard work. You don't need to give it to me."
Chris said seriously, "If we hadn't met you, Eumis and I would probably still be on the run."
The 3,000-strong army is not easy to deal with. For this powerful magic stone, the ten major forces will probably chase them to the ends of the earth.
Shu Li grinned and said, "With your strength, you can shake off the pursuers even without us."
Seeing that the Elf King refused to take his hands, Chris had no choice but to retract his hands and looked up at the three weakest humans in Team Light.
Hector, Siti and Nasha were all confused by his gaze.
"What...what happened?" Siti touched her face. Was there something dirty on her face?
Chris said seriously, "With your current magic level, even reaching the seventh level of the maze is a problem, let alone the eighth and ninth levels."
Yumis added: "The environment on the eighth and ninth floors is extremely harsh. Low-level magicians can only stay there for an hour at most."
Nasha frowned and asked, "What will happen if it exceeds an hour?"
"Bang, bang, bang—" Chris suddenly made an onomatopoeia sound like something exploded, which scared the others.
Shu Li covered her ears and glared at him.
Didn’t you agree not to play pranks?
It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.
Chris smirked as everyone stared at him.
Yumis held her forehead weakly.
Chris is just a child who never grows up. After spending fifty years with him in the maze, he has made no progress and his personality remains erratic.
Eumis clenched his fist and hit Chris on the head.
Chris put down the powerful magic stone, covered his head with his hands, and looked at Yumis innocently.
Ignoring his accusing look, Yumis explained to the others, "They won't be able to withstand the pressure and will explode and die."
There are thresholds to enter the eighth and ninth levels of the maze. Only low-level magicians and low-level greatswordsmen can withstand the pressure. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward, and the unlucky ones will explode and die.
The three low-level magicians in Team Light want to go to the eighth and ninth floors together, so they must upgrade their levels as soon as possible.
"So that's it!" Shu Li sighed.
Fortunately, I met Chris, otherwise, if I rashly entered the eighth floor, it would be tantamount to sending my teammates to their deaths.
No wonder the Mokasha Adventure Group chased to the eighth floor and turned back halfway.
Team Light is a whole, and Shu Li doesn't want to give up any of his teammates.
"Thank you!" He reached out and picked up the heavy purple crystal, then turned to the Elf King and asked, "King, how do I use this?"
"First, we need to cut it." The Elf King grabbed the powerful magic stone with one hand and recited a short wind magic.
In an instant, the invisible wind blade easily cut the purple crystal, making a "sizzling" sound.
Half a minute later, the powerful magic stone turned into seventeen pieces of different sizes and flew in front of seventeen people. Among them, Hector, Siti, and Nasha received the largest pieces of crystal stones. After absorbing the energy, it was enough for them to be promoted to senior magicians.
The three of them were very excited as they held the purple crystal as big as their fists.
After training in the Snow Mountain Maze, you will be satisfied with improving one or two levels. If you get a strong magic stone, you will have the opportunity to become a high-level magician and jump five levels. You will be so happy!
"We have it too?"
Several swordsmen were bewildered.
Doesn't it only work on magicians?
The Elf King said, "Swordsmen can also absorb the energy from the powerful magic stone, but the effect is half."
Durr and Horley were ecstatic.
As Prince Leon's mentors and guards, they have been stuck at the advanced greatswordsman level for a long time and have been looking for a way to break through. Unexpectedly, when they escaped into the snowy mountain maze with the prince, they not only met the magical Team of Light, but also got an opportunity.
Shu Li held the marble-like purple crystal in his hand and asked expectantly, "If I absorb this powerful magic stone, can I become a magic saint?"
He is now a high-level wizard, and if he is promoted to the next level he will become a wizard saint.
The Elf King smiled: "No."
"Uh..." Shu Li was stunned. "Then... then what's the use of me holding this?"
The Elf King looked at him gently. "Take it and play with it."
Shu Li: ...
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed, but it's better than nothing.
He glanced at Morrisey, Leon, and Seryu. The strong magic stones in their hands were the same size as his.
The king is quite nice!
"I want one too!" Farm, who was flying, had been paying attention to the people on his back. When he learned that everyone had powerful magic stones, he also clamored for it.
Shu Li patted its neck. "You're already above level ten, it's useless to take it."
"Hehe~" The big monster expressed his unhappiness.
Shu Li comforted him: "When we reach the sixth level of the maze, I will give you some fruit."
When Farm heard there was fruit to eat, he immediately gave up the Power Stone. "I want the biggest fruit!"
"Okay." Shu Li responded straightforwardly.
Farm was happy, flapped his wings, increased his speed and flew vigorously.
The snow mountain maze is wider and wider each layer. After flying for five days at the speed of Farm, we finally reached the entrance to the sixth layer of the maze.
There are also people from the ten major forces waiting at the entrance to the sixth-level maze, threatening the adventurers entering and leaving.
Farm's arrival frightened them into panic.
The Light Squad was not polite at all. With weapons in hand, they jumped off the back of the monster, cleared out all the people guarding the entrance, forced their way into the teleportation array, and headed to the sixth level of the maze.
