Chapter 159 News of the Elf Realm

When Luo Fan returned to the guild hall, there were many more adventurers coming and going, and he realized that he hadn't been able to raid dungeons in a long time.

Inside the meeting room, Ellie stated her needs: to acquire as many low-tier and higher dark magic cores as possible. She also planned to purchase a batch of dark crystals.

With the addition of some materials needed for magic gathering arrays and defensive arrays, the new manor will be useful in the future.

Ellie also sold a batch of spiritual materials that she didn't need for the time being, and the transaction went very smoothly between the two parties.

I heard that the Glenn family mainly deals in dark magic materials, and Ellie even asked the guild to help her purchase dark magic cores on a long-term basis, setting aside a lot of money as acquisition expenses.

"Ellie, with your current strength, advancing to a level 4 mercenary group shouldn't be a problem, right?" Having completed the transaction and obtained quite a few of the things she wanted, Lysa was now very polite.

"The condition for advancing is to kill a level 51 mid-level magical beast. With just those three demonic lions, we should be able to do it."

"Well, then we'll have to trouble the president to keep an eye out for this kind of intelligence."

"That's a small matter. When do you plan to go to the dungeon? With your current strength, those low-level dungeons outside the city probably won't be enough for you."

"Hmm? There are advanced dungeons? I've never heard of that before." Luo Fan's curiosity was instantly piqued.

"Could there be even more advanced dungeons?" Ellie asked, puzzled.

"Yes, the number is very small, and the difficulty is very high. Generally, only mercenary groups with a level of 4 or above can know the relevant information. Only those with a level of 5 or above can receive a subjugation mission."

"These types of dungeons are usually located in special environments, such as the Death Swamp, the Crimson Desert, and the Heavenly Water Lake. The most powerful magical beasts in them are even high-level," Lysa explained with a smile.

"Level 71 or higher monsters?" Luo Fan immediately deflated. Going in now would be suicide, wouldn't it? He could try his luck with monsters below level 70, but he couldn't guarantee the girls' safety.

"Isn't this level too high?"

"I'm just explaining to you that there are actually many things that mercenary groups can challenge, including open-world secret realms. By the way, the Elf Secret Realm will open in a little over two months, I think you'll be interested."

"The Elf Realm!" Luo Fan's eyes widened immediately. He was very interested and couldn't wait to go in.

The Elf Realm is a very special realm, its location and time of appearance are uncertain, making it a kind of elusive realm. Its most captivating feature is the rumored presence of the Fountain of Life, though almost no one has found any clues about it.

Nevertheless, the opening of the secret realm still attracts a large number of people. The space inside is vast, and anyone below the level of a Grand Magister can enter; the requirements are quite lenient.

"Guild Master, have you confirmed the location of the Elf Realm?"

"Yes, it's on Tianshui Lake in the east of the city. The news has already spread among the higher-ups," Lysa replied with a smile, explaining that she had already received instructions from the Grand Master to tell Ellie this.

After all, according to the intelligence they received, this slime was very good at treasure hunting.

"Ellie, we absolutely have to go in then." Luo Fan had been longing to go there, after all, the key materials he needed to transform into human form were located inside.

"I know, don't worry, we'll go in together!" Ellie reassured the excited Luo Fan, since there was still time. She needed to use this time to strengthen herself and couldn't always rely entirely on Luo Fan.

Besides normal meditation and magic-gathering arrays, magicians can also enhance their strength through some special potions.

"Will there be a limit on the number of spots?" Ellie thought of the Royal Secret Realm she had just come out of.

"No, once you enter, you'll randomly appear in any location. You can team up to go there using special magical items. If you want to get out, you have to find the exit yourself, otherwise you'll be stuck inside forever once the secret realm closes."

“Every time the Elf Realm opens, many people try their luck and never come out. Therefore, the guild requires that the leader must be a Grand Mage and the mercenary group must be at least level 4.”

Sigh, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. The Elf Realm hasn't appeared for almost ten years; I didn't expect to hear news about it this year. Those hidden powerful forces will probably start to get restless then.

Lifespan is one of the important factors that limit the growth of these magicians; those immortal old people would probably be envious.

On the other side, after rigorous interrogation, Kara and her group confessed to everything. As for Mishu and the butler, they were severely beaten by the Duke, fined, and then taken away.

Luo Fan created a small clone and followed. Things had ended so hastily; he hadn't even finished venting his frustration.

Clinging to Mishu's clothes, Luo Fan followed him into the Duke's mansion. He'd set up a few spatial nodes here and then deal with them properly.

Space travel, silent and stealthy, is absolutely the best way to sneak up on people.

If it weren't for the relationship between this family and that old witch, Luo Fan would have wanted to go all out and make things bigger.

"You bastard, if you cause trouble again, you'd better get back to your fiefdom!" Duke Glenn was furious as he looked at his good-for-nothing son.

If his youngest son hadn't had that accident, he wouldn't have bothered to train this guy. If all else fails, he could focus on training his grandsons; that would still be better than the current Mishu.

"Ah, if only Ivan were still alive, Lilith wouldn't have turned out like that." But then he thought of his daughter and sighed.

The existence of that daughter initially caused widespread panic in the capital and severely hampered the family's development. They were eventually forced into a marriage arrangement and ultimately kicked out of the family home.

Unexpectedly, she went even further and provoked the state religion, killing many talented people and almost suppressing that era single-handedly.

"Father, you're still thinking about that slut! If it weren't for her, would the family have fallen to this state?" Mishu was immediately displeased upon hearing this. If his younger brother were still alive, he wouldn't have had any chance at all.

"Shut up, she's still your sister!"

"I don't have a sister like that! If it weren't for her, would I be targeted by those people in the capital?"

"Now look what's happened! Even her daughter is just as stubborn. We should have had her killed back then!" Mishu was almost driven mad with anger, seemingly recalling past grievances.

Despite having done so much for the family, his father still only thought of his favorite son.

Hiding in the shadows, Luo Fan listened to their argument and became increasingly curious about the old witch's past.

What did she do to incur such hatred from her brother?

"Get out! You're not allowed to leave without my permission from now on." Duke Glenn's face flushed red as he slammed his fist on the table, quickly pulling Luo Fan back to reality.

Mishu quickly left, afraid of getting beaten up again.

Inside the room, Mishu sat on a stool and swept everything off the table!

"You old fool, we'll see. One day, I'll prove you right."

"And that bitch Ellie, so what if she's been knighted? You think I'll let you get away with this! When the princess's protection is gone, let's see how long you can keep jumping around!"

Thinking about what happened today, Mishu became even angrier and even overturned the table.

After securing the spatial node in the shadows, Luo Fan lost interest in listening to the guy's howls and teleported away.

"You actually dared to try and make a move on my Ellie? I'll make sure you're dead this time!"
