Returning to the place where he had met Yan Hu, he didn't see him. They must still be selecting players. After all, the players who entered the Elven Empire first would definitely have the most benefits, so this spot probably wouldn't be up to Yan Hu to decide.
Su Xi took out the legendary-grade ore.
The 18 Legendary Ore I bought last time were used to enhance the Saintess Set, and those 18 ores will allow her to enhance both pieces of equipment to level 10.
Su Xi chose the [Shadow Flower Dance Spirit Top] and [Shadow Flower Dance Spirit Belt], mainly because these two pieces of equipment increase basic defense, as well as basic intelligence and basic constitution, which are the three attributes most needed at the moment.
Otherwise, Su Xi's defense wouldn't be over 800.
Let's use this ore to upgrade our weapons.
Eleven ores are enough to upgrade the weapon to level 11.
Su Xi placed all the ores on the weapon and pressed the enhancement button.
The Rose Fairy's Wand
Wearing Level: Lv.11
Quality: Legendary
Type: Weapon
Attributes: Attack Power +770, Casting Speed +8.5%, Elemental Damage +8.5%
Effect ①: Base Intelligence +130
Effect 2: Mana recovery speed +20%
Active Skill ①: [Rose Kill]:...
Active Skill ②: [Rose Regeneration]:...
The active skills have not been enhanced; the main improvement is in the base attributes. Effect ① has gained 110 more Intelligence points, and Effect ②'s recovery speed has doubled.
I waited a while longer.
Yan Hu brought over forty-nine players dressed in ordinary equipment.
"If everyone is here, then let's set off."
"Thank you for your help, Boss Su," Yan Hu said with a smile.
These players can't fly, and Su Xi can't transform into Ilena and fly away. She can only follow them on a ship to Falas Port, and then go to Bannory via a teleportation array.
Fortunately, her identity as a saintess was very useful, and she had no obstacles along the way.
Su Xi told them to wait at the Adventurer's Guild in the lower city, and then return to the upper city to accept the quest.
Now that they've successfully entered the Elven Empire, they should at least fulfill their role as a tool.
Moreover, given their level, even if they were to transform into Elf race now, their combat strength wouldn't be much stronger. They might as well come with me to do some quests and get familiar with each other first.
Su Xi glanced at the quest, "The Resurrected Underground Ghouls," issued by Emerald City, and accepted it.
Emerald City is located in the northwest of the Elven Empire. It is a city built inside a cave and is inhabited by many dwarves and elves.
Su Xi chose this place mainly because Emerald City is one of the few mining cities in the Elven Empire. Coming to this city to do quests, she could also take the opportunity to see if there were any Epic Ore or Legendary Ore.
After accepting the quest, return to the lower town.
Su Xi said to Yan Hu, "You're new here and your levels are low. Follow me to do quests and build up your reputation before you change your race."
Yan Hu had no objection; he knew that reputation was a very important thing.
Su Xi shared the task with them.
The experience gained from completing this task should be enough to help them level up.
Therefore, it can't be said that Su Xi tricked them.
There aren't many quests in the Adventurer's Guild that offer both experience and reputation rewards.
A moment later, the group arrived in Emerald City via a teleportation array.
Because Emerald City is built inside a cave, everyone was a little unaccustomed to the cave's view when they first teleported there.
The light was rather dim.
Perhaps because the elves didn't like it, there were relatively few oil lamps and torches in the cave, unlike the mining base in the Green Root Mountain Range.
It has less of a smoky, everyday feel, but more of a natural atmosphere.
Because a large part of the light in the cave comes from various kinds of bioluminescent plants.
Not to mention Yan Hu and his group, who had never seen such a gentle yet magnificent city before, even Su Xi, who had been reborn, was seeing it for the first time.
In her previous life, Emerald City seemed to have collapsed not long afterward. Su Xi didn't know the specific reason, but it should be related to the task she was about to undertake.
Su Xi's arrival was personally welcomed by the Lord of Emerald City.
The city lord's appearance was as beautiful as ever, even though he was an elderly male elf over eight hundred years old.
Su Xi couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Elf race genes. Despite being old, apart from her white hair, Su Xi couldn't find any other signs of aging.
Elves typically live for around a thousand years, so Su Xi's statement that the city lord is old is not inappropriate.
The Emerald City Lord treated the Holy Maiden and her entourage with great kindness, and then explained the situation to Su Xi.
"Did those ghouls just appear out of nowhere? Have you checked whether someone has set up a teleportation array in the mine?"
"Your Holiness, we have indeed investigated what you said, but we have not found any clues. It's as if these ghouls were originally hidden inside the rocks, waiting for the miners to dig them out." The Emerald City Lord shook his head in distress.
"I see. Alright, then we'll investigate ourselves. These people are all my followers. Give them a temporary pass." Su Xi pointed to Yan Hu was waiting outside.
"That's no problem at all," the Emerald City Lord replied.
The discrimination against outsiders in this city wasn't that serious, since there were other races there too, much like in the Falas Port. But just to be on the safe side, Su Xi still made the request.
Having an Elf race pass will make the elves think twice even if they cause trouble.
"Also, I'd like to buy some ore here. I wonder if I'm allowed to?"
The Emerald City Lord gave a wry smile, "Whoever dares to say that Her Highness the Holy Maiden cannot purchase it, I will be the first to go up and destroy him."
After saying that, he took out an Emerald City ore purchase permit from the cabinet.
Su Xi then smiled.
So sensible.
After settling this matter, Su Xi had them begin their mission.
The quest hint for [The Resurrected Underground Ghouls] is: You might be able to start your investigation by investigating the miners.
Su Xi guessed that some miners had defected to the Fallen Ones, so she arranged for Yan Hu and his men to investigate those miners. With their military capabilities, doing this kind of thing should be very easy for them.
Then she walked toward the Elf race mine warehouse.
We arrived at a ore warehouse in a corner of the city.
Find the warehouse manager, show them the purchase permit, and ask, "How much Epic Ore and Legendary Ore do you have here?"
A dwarf dressed in tattered burlap sacks tapped his tongue as he flipped through the ledger. "Sir, there are currently 41 epic-grade ores and 92 legendary-grade ores in the warehouse."
Less than I expected.
The dwarf seemed to sense Su Xi's dissatisfaction and quickly explained, "Sir, this is the amount mined over four months. These ores need to be transported away every six months."
"Okay, I'll take them all. You can calculate the price."
"Yes, please wait a moment, sir." The dwarf bowed respectfully, then took out a small piece of paper and began to calculate.
Actually, when Su Xi asked the city lord about purchasing a mining license, she wondered if he would give her all the ore because she was a saintess.
Now it seems she was overthinking things.
