“Even if he can’t cultivate his magic powers, it’s also a good option for him to be a sage who gains knowledge from books,” the Elf Queen said.

She subsequently expressed guilt in her expression. “Back then, my sister entrusted this child to me, asking me to take good care of him, and yet I don’t even know that he likes reading.”

“Don’t blame yourself, my queen. You are responsible for the future of the elves. Many things are out of your control.”

“As long as I am here, you can rest assured about that child.”

“Thank you, Uncle Norton.”The Elf Queen had addressed him as “Uncle Norto

n” which unlocked Norton’s long-forgotten memories. “I watched you and Miele grow up. Miele wasn’t just your biological sister because I have always treated her as if she was my biological daughter.”

“Chris is Miele’s only child. Naturally, I will treat him well.”

The Elf Queen’s gaze gradually became sorrowful upon hearing that.

Norton patted her shoulder. He understood the pressure she had to shoulder for the elves.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You are the Elf Queen and the leader of our elves. You must be strong. You must not let others see your weakness, nor should you shed tears easily.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Norton.” The Elf Queen let out a sigh before she returned to her solemn and dignified poise.

“The Ruhr skull is missing. The peaceful days for the elves are coming to an end. We must make preparations early.”

The Elf Queen and Norton looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes. They were determined to protect the elves at all costs.

…

The news of Ruhr’s skull being stolen quickly spread to the Ten Kingdoms and the Orc Kingdom.

While the three forces were frantically searching for it, they would never have thought that the mysteriously missing Ruhr’s skull was kept by Chris in the system’s storage space.

After the elders left, an assigned team of guards were left there to briefly inquire Chris on what happened after he had woken up.

Unfortunately, they did not expect that Chris was involved with what happened in the Moon Well.

Who would have thought that Chris, who had not been able to cultivate half a year ago, would surpass the decades of hard work of others in such a short period, from a Level 1 Magic Apprentice, leaping across a few levels to a Level 3 Sorcerer.

Such a rapid increase in cultivation was beyond their knowledge and did not fit into the consensus of magic cultivation.

Moreover, there was another important reason.

The elves yearned for peace and freedom. The skills they cultivated would not have much destructive power. There was no record of any elf practicing dark magic that was famous for its brutality because they hated it very much.

Besides, Chris had also received a notice informing him of his transfer to clean the Elder’s Altar.

He had been checking in at Moon Well for half a year now and the rewards received were getting lower and lower, especially over the past half a month where he only received items that merely work to assist his cultivation.

If it was not because he was halfway through researching the magic skills for Codex of the Undead, he would have hurried over to check in that instant.

Nightfall.

Chris ended his meditation. His magic cultivation upgraded again after an entire afternoon.

He was now a Level 5 Sorcerer.

As his level increased, the wonders of the Body of Nature began to work, and Chris did not experience any bottleneck as he leveled up. He only needed to absorb power through his meditation, and once he had enough power, he would be able to level up.

He did not share the same worries as all the other mages. For example, the old elf, Wharton. He had been stuck in the position as a Level 9 Archmage for over a hundred years and still had not achieved any breakthrough.

Chris was completely different. He did not need opportunities nor did he need to fully grasp. As long as he had enough power, he could naturally achieve a breakthrough.

This was the power of the Body of Nature.

Not only that, but the Body of Nature was also capable of increasing one’s power. For example, when comparing two equal Level 5 Sorcerer, the mage who had the Body of Nature, was two to three times stronger regardless of the speed or power.

All in all, the magical effects of the Body of Nature were being revealed one by one.

Chris, who had received the notification, lightly packed up and followed the elf who had come to inform him, over to the Elder’s Altar.

“Is this the place where the elves worship?” The Elder’s Altar was much larger than the Moon Well. Looking from afar, it looked like a huge ravine.

In terms of architectural style, the elves added a lot of natural elements and the god of the forest’s sculptures everywhere. There were all kinds of strange plants growing around the altar. The elements here were way more active than those at the Moon Well.

“This place may not give me as much freedom as Moon Well, but it’s still considerably serene.” Chris looked around. Other than having more frequent patrols by the guards, it was still a good place for cultivation.

“I wonder what good things I will get after leaving the Moon Well and checking into the Elder’s Altar.”

Chris was a little expectant as he opened the system interface. “Checking in to Elder’s Altar.”

“Ping! Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in to Elder’s Altar. System Reward: Miracle of Life.”

After checking in for more than half a year, Chris was no longer a newbie like he used to be as he instinctively looked over at the system’s description panel.

The Miracle of Life was a precious inheritance left behind by the god of life. It recorded all the life magic that could be found on the Sacred Continent, along with plenty of forbidden spells.

Bringing back the dead was not a problem for those who attained the highest level of cultivation.

“Hiss!”

Seeing this, Chris inhaled a breath of cold air.

“As expected, the system’s reward is awesome whenever we change to another place.” After a short moment of surprise, Chris suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to study the Miracle of Life.

Over the next few days, other than meditation, he spent the rest of his time studying the Codex of the Undead and the Miracle of Life.

As for cleaning the altar, that was just Elder Norton’s cover to protect his well being. Up until now, they still had not found out who was responsible for what happened at Moon Well, which meant that danger was still lurking around.

Of course, nobody knew that Chris was already a Level 5 Sorcerer.

He had plenty of trump cards in his hands that even if a Saint-level powerhouse attacked him, he would not be afraid at all and instead could even kill him.

Chris did not want to expose himself so quickly as he wanted to secretly work hard and shock everyone.

At the very least, he had to break through Saint-level first.

If the Moon Well could rely on magic formation to remain spotless, what more the resting place for the ancestors of the elves.

There was no need for Chris to clean it at all, however, Chris would occasionally pick up the broom and put on an act so as not to be called incompetent.

As time went on, a month had passed.

Chris’ power rose rapidly, and he had achieved to become a Level 9 Sorcerer.

He had merely studied the Codex of the Undead and Miracle of Life where he obtained strong breakthroughs and comprehension.

Just a few days ago, a major event had happened for the elves. The Moon Well was once again visited by an uninvited guest.

This time, the intruder even injured the elders of the elves. In the end, it was the Elf Queen who stepped in and forced the intruder to retreat.

However, this mysterious person’s strength was also extremely powerful. He was on par with the Elf Queen and was also a Saint-level powerhouse.

After that incident, Chris could feel the increasing threat of danger, and he needed a breakthrough to Saint-level as soon as possible.
