Chapter 1066

"So they were born with magical power and a cultivation system other races don't possess, but the truth is, the elves are a race from another world. They came from the Great Elven World, and through powerful magitech they came to this world, bringing magic and civilization to the continent. The process of enslaving the hundred races was indeed incomparably cruel…"

"But facts have proven that without the elves, the current us might not be living the lives we do now, and might not even be able to use magical power. It's very possible we would have walked a different path of civilization."

"For example, like the goblins… walking a path of technology." Lin Cheng said, following the other's words.

"Very possible!"

Liu Ci deeply agreed with the possibility Lin Cheng had raised. If the human race and the hundred races couldn't cultivate, what would they use to fight magical beasts? Naturally, only something like the goblins researching technology, developing explosives with tremendous destructive power, ~to fight magical beasts.

"The elf who went to retrieve the seed of the Faith God Tree was named Ailin, one of the famous Valkyries of the Elven Dynasty. With her heading to the Great Elven World, she would surely be able to bring back the seed of the Faith God Tree. The process of seeking the Faith God Tree's seed was also extremely arduous. After enduring countless battles where death was nine times out of ten, Valkyrie Ailin found the seed of the Faith God Tree, but just as she was returning to the continent—an accident occurred."

"The elves' superb magitech ensured the elves' personal safety when traversing through space, but this very timeline was nearly a hundred years later than the scheduled return to the continent. A hundred years is but a snap of the fingers for the elves, but it happened that during this century the Faith God Tree collapsed, the Elven Dynasty erupted in civil war, and the dynasty rapidly crumbled within a hundred years. By the time Valkyrie Ailin returned, —everything was already too late."

"One wait lasted a thousand years, until it ended without result. In the end, Valkyrie Ailin led her last elven squad to garrison at the appointed place."

"Ten thousand years later, the ruins where Valkyrie Ailin was located were broken open by the human race. I learned the elves' secret sealed away for ten thousand years! And I obtained this seed of the Faith God Tree, which had not yet been returned to the Elven Dynasty!"

Liu Ci's face carried a sigh of regret, and between his brows there seemed to be a hint of sorrow as well.

What the hell is this?

Lin Cheng was baffled—you're a human, what relation do you have with the elves?

"Why do I feel like you seem to have some special feelings toward the elves? Was your ancestor an elf?" The forthright Lin Cheng asked directly.

If there weren't some blood relation, he probably wouldn't care this much.

"The regrettable thing is my ancestors had no relation whatsoever with the elves." Liu Ci awkwardly shook his head rapidly, the thoughts in his eyes gradually tracing back to the scenes within the ruins of the past.

A secret buried deep in his heart!

In that ruin, he saw Valkyrie Ailin's immortal remains, seated upright upon the throne, eyes closed in slumber, like a sleeping beauty, so exquisite that one couldn't bear to disturb her rest. But that moment lasted only a few seconds before the remains dissolved into nothingness, yet that world-toppling, city-bewitching image remained fresh in his memory.

What manner of beauty was that? No language could describe it—beautiful enough to take one's breath away, as if the most perfect masterpiece crafted by the gods. That beauty could make humans abandon everything for her, or slaughter everything for her; the rise and fall of the world could all be blamed upon that face.

When he wanted to share this beauty with others, it was dismissed by them as absurd talk. Regarding this, he merely smiled it off, burying the secret deep within his heart.

"You've never seen that face, so how would you know it's impossible?"

· ·······Begging for flowers····· ·····

The system actually agreed so simply to offer up an inheritance to give to the other party!

"Tell me, aren't you just asking for a scolding? If you'd said earlier you could sell inheritances, then what would we need a lottery machine for?"

Facing Lin Cheng's scolding, the system AI remained silent. Rules are rules, true enough, but sometimes, being a system intelligence also requires being a bit more human.

If there were no inheritance at this moment, wouldn't it be impossible to obtain the seed of the Faith God Tree? The system intelligence was filled with emotion over this—the host truly still didn't understand its good intentions.

"This is the inheritance you wanted. Within it are many inheritances; the one you obtain will surely be the one most suited to you…" Lin Cheng took out an inheritance light orb and handed it toward Liu Ci.

Liu Ci gladly accepted the inheritance light orb, and casually handed the black box containing the seed of the Faith God Tree to Lin Cheng.

"Pleasure doing business."

The two parties shook hands amicably.

"Oh right, I still have some other ancient relics here. Although they're not as precious as the Faith God Tree, they still hold considerable collector's value."

"That's fine. If they're useful to me, I think I'll buy them."

Immediately after, Liu Ci once again began rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and in the end carried over a huge pile of things, stacking them in front of Lin Cheng.

"Take your time picking. These ancient relics are all good things I obtained from that ruin back then. Among them are no shortage of weapons and equipment from the ancient elven era. As for their forging craft, although I'm very curious, I truly don't understand it at all—quite a pity."

"Mm, they really are all good things. I need to pick carefully." Lin Cheng casually picked up two items to examine, and the system information he received stated they were items from the ancient elven era, possessing high collector's value.
