Chapter 281

What are you doing at the elves' place?

Yu Lin looked at the five-person team before him and asked.

Being all over thirty, their cultivation is not low; together with each person's awakened Heavenly Authority, their strength only grows.

But encountering the Dark Elf Queen, who has lived who knows how long, and a being blessed by Satan, one can only say their defeat was not unjust.

Team captain Wang Weigang, like his teammates, wore a face of relief at having survived; after all, upon arriving in Hell they had already prepared for the whole team to sacrifice themselves.

But I never expected Yu Lin to have such ability, coming straight to Hell to take people?

He recalled that even in the Grand Void, facing an existence of the Hell King's level, one would not be a match.

Could it be that Yu Lin has now become a high-level immortal? Or has he joined Hell?

I don't get it.

But he knew that Yu Lin had saved them and was on brotherly terms with Satan, which shows his strength has reached a terrifying level.

He immediately replied: "We originally came here to hunt down an escaped criminal, but finally in that mountain range we sensed the aura of a Heavenly Bestowed Artifact."

"So we followed the aura to see if we could find it......"

No need to elaborate further; basically they arrived at the elves' territory, were seen as invaders by the Dark Elves, and the two sides fought.

In the end, the Dark Elf Queen sent them to Hell with a single spell, and the spell's strong spatial fluctuation caused the mountain peak to collapse.

As for that Heavenly Bestowed Artifact,

They ultimately still didn't find it; perhaps it was the King's Sword?

Yu Lin nodded to show understanding, then rose and said to Satan and Asmodeus:

"If that's the case, I'll take them back first."

"Let's meet again next time."

Having said that, he walked forward; Wang Weigang and the others, seeing this, immediately followed and left the castle together with him.

Behind them, Satan saw Asmodeus about to leave, grabbed his arm, and laughed:

"Since you're here, come play a few rounds with me."

"...... You can't beat him so you're taking it out on me, right? I'm not playing; I still have to go back and host a party."

"Huh?"

"Alright, playing two rounds is fine."

"Mm."

Civil Affairs Bureau.

"You go file the report yourselves; I won't accompany you."

"Be careful next time; goodbye."

Yu Lin said that to Wang Weigang and the others, then turned and left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Only Wang Weigang and the others remained, looking at the familiar building and breathing normal air, they let out a long sigh:

"I never thought... we'd survive!"

"Captain, I want to take a month off to rest."

"Captain, me too!"

"Alright, go finish the report, then everyone gets vacation, rest well, relax."

The group walked toward the main building of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Elsewhere.

Yu Lin returned to the elves' dwelling, searched carefully, and found the Heavenly Bestowed Artifact they spoke of.

Unfortunately, it was not the King's Sword.

It was a sword sheath.

The sword sheath looked unremarkable, seeming to be ordinary leather, but upon taking it in hand,

Yu Lin felt his recovery and defensive abilities increase.

It must be the sheath of the King's Sword, granting rapid self-healing and strong defense against blades and spears.

This is also an important reason why King Arthur could be invincible.

However, later Arthur's sister Morgan began causing trouble again.

She stole the sheath and threw it into the lake, causing Arthur to suffer severe wounds in later battles.

One could say Arthur's life had many hardships, many thanks to having such a good sister.

But this sheath's enhancement for Yu Lin is negligible; let's just keep it as a collectible.

Or...... when the King's Sword sheath is lost in the future, take it out and give it to him, to see if this Eternal King, upon regaining the sheath, can become a true Eternal King.

Will Great Britain still be Great Britain later?

Just thinking about it is fun; I'll try it later.

He gathered his thoughts.

He put away the sheath and left the place.

He returned to the dormitory.

Yu Lin lay down and again began his leisurely, laid-back life.

While waiting for the mission to start, he also attended the second recruitment of the Cultivation Academy and the initiation ceremony for new members of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and went back to the welfare institute to spend the New Year.

Half a month after the New Year, the mission countdown reached zero.

Yu Lin silently chanted:

"Enter."

Accompanied by a flash of WhiteLight, he vanished.

【Mission: Obtain the King's Sword from Arthur King】

【Reward: Trait——King's Qi】

In the late 5th to early 6th century, in Cornwall region of Yingguo, more specifically, at Tintagel Castle.

In legend, Arthur King was born here.

Arthur King's original name was Arthur Pandragong.

His biological father was King Yuse Pandragong, king of the Britain KaMeiLuo Kingdom, and like Cao Cao, he liked married women.

Because Arthur King's mother was Igraine, she was the wife of the Duke of Cornwall, Gorlois.

With the help of the Great Mage Merlin, King Yuse took the form of the Duke of Cornwall and entered Igraine's castle, spending a good night with her, after which she became pregnant with Arthur.

After the Duke of Cornwall died, Igraine married King Yuse and bore this child.

To protect Arthur King, so he wouldn't be killed by enemies, he was entrusted to Merlin, who took him away from Tintagel Castle to a hidden place to be raised.

Merlin can freely change his appearance to young or old, but he mostly appears as an old man.

As for where this place is..........

Yu Lin searched for half a day and finally found it.

Right in front of the elves' dwelling, in a forest!

More precisely, it is a village.

Yu Lin's figure silently appeared at the edge of the forest clearing, his gaze falling upon a secluded village.

The village is neither big nor small, about dozens of households; its simple wooden houses and thatched roofs appear ancient and tranquil.

Cooking smoke rose lazily, the air filled with the mixed scent of earth, plants, and baked bread.

And in the village central clearing, a group of children were playing.

The most eye-catching among them was a boy enthusiastically surrounded by the other children, especially the girls.

He looked about ten years old, with a head of dazzling golden short hair like the sun, shining brightly in the dappled light of the forest.

When he spoke, his voice was clearer and more pleasant than a bard's lyre.

When he raised his head, a pair of pure, emerald-green eyes like the finest jade appeared, set in a clean, handsome face.

Although he was still young, his exceptional handsomeness and the faint aura he exuded had already made him the focus among the children.

"Arthur, Arthur! Look at the garland I made!"

"Not pretty at all! Arthur, I have freshly picked berries here, they're sweet!"

Several little girls, vying to be closest to him, almost started arguing, their little faces flushed with excitement.

The boy called Arthur seemed somewhat helpless about this, yet he maintained good manners, gently trying to soothe them.

"Don't argue, I like you all, everyone be good."

Just then, an old and steady voice came from the doorway of a larger Wooden House, breaking the children's little commotion:

"Arthur, come eat."
