This incident was just a minor interlude for Hilia to send money to Rose.
Afterwards, the young girl continued to imrse herself in the crafting of scrolls.
Three days passed quickly.
Based on the estimated consumption for the ninth and tenth floors, she crafted 30 Earth Shield Scrolls, but did not make any Water Curtain Barriers, as only two were needed for the two floors.
For the remaining scrolls, Hilia made so defensive scrolls for other elents, though it was unclear if they would co in handy.
Due to Pascal’s support, she boldly took so blank scrolls to try drawing Tier Four scrolls.
The result was a complete failure.
None were usable.
"Tier Four scrolls consu too much magic power, and the intensity of magic power can’t be borne by ordinary materials. To craft Tier Four scrolls, expensive materials like the Heart of Gold might need to be used as the main material instead of a supplentary one..."
Hilia glanced regretfully at the failed Tier Four scrolls, packed up all the scrolls, and left the tent.
Elina was already waiting outside.
The two of them had a simple al before heading towards the ruins.
Nowadays, with the developnt of the temporary camp, the distance from the temporary camp to the entrance of the ruins had been replaced by a wide avenue, with a stone-paved road extending all the way to the entrance.
And along the wide avenue, many peddlers appeared, selling all sorts of odds and ends.
Hilia even saw soone selling Hearts of the Magic Puppet, and upon a closer look, it was an old acquaintance, Carl, who used to sell Hearts of the Magic Puppet at the Lost Lighthouse.
However, she now looked like an elf, so he didn’t recognize her.
Seeing an acquaintance, Hilia specifically glanced at the link devices and found that he had already upgraded all artificial Heart of the Magic Puppet link devices with runes.
If not for being busy with the ruins, Hilia was prepared to make so more money off him.
Upon reaching the entrance of the ruins, it was bustling with people, divided into an entrance and exit area by the nearby lord to avoid interference.
Hilia looked up at the tall gate and muttered, "I hope we can clear it today."
With that, she and Elina entered the ruins.
They reappeared at the entrance to the ninth floor of the central tower.
After taking a brief look at the surroundings and confirming that it had the sa eerie the as the first three floors, they proceeded to the ninth floor.
As the door behind them closed, Hilia took out an Earth Shield Scroll, activated it, and guided it to form a fortress.
Elina then used Steel Wood Spike and Forest Silk, executing the moves seamlessly.
Just as Hilia was about to form an Ice Bow and unleash a Crystal Arrow at the painting in the hall, she saw the painting seemingly co to life, with a strange smile curled at its corner.
The next second, a piercing scream resounded, and everything around began to move, transforming into a terrifying storm with a quick turn.
Hilia widened her eyes, "Does it know we intend to skip solving the puzzle, so it attacks us proactively?"
This sudden anomaly confird what Rose had said.
The original owner of the ruins was still alive and watching them from the twelfth floor.
Noticing Hilia’s unusual expression, Elina asked, "What’s wrong?"
Hilia shook her head, "Nothing, nothing, let’s continue preparing the second Bearing Wall."
It’s better not to let Elina know about the ruins’ owner watching them from the twelfth floor.
If she found out, who knows what she would think, especially since the owner sensed the call and ca here because of it.
"The ruins’ owner might be related to Elina, better not to ntion it."
Amid a barrage-like assault.
A total of eight layers of Bearing Walls, plus a Water Curtain Barrier, allowed them to successfully pass the ninth floor.
With Rose’s guidance, they arrived smoothly at the tenth floor.
Using the sa tactic, this floor consud 15 Earth Shield Scrolls and one Water Curtain Barrier Scroll, along with many Tier Two scrolls.
They passed smoothly.
Before heading to the eleventh floor, Hilia looked at Elina and said, "Elina, let’s not use this thod on the eleventh floor. I can tell this thod already reached its limit on the tenth floor."
Elina nodded, "I noticed too. If we use this thod on the eleventh floor, our Combination Skill might not withstand the attacks... But we have plenty of ti, these two floors didn’t take much ti, we can take it slowly."
Hilia smiled slightly and nodded, "Alright, let’s take it slowly, there’s no rush."
Clearing 12 floors in a day was sowhat astonishing.
But, so what?
It’s about being astonishing. After organizing supplies on the tenth floor and having a small al to refill, Hilia and Elina, under Rose’s guidance, ascended the stairs and arrived smoothly at the eleventh-floor entrance.
The two exchanged a glance, refraining from releasing any Defense Magic, and prepared for the tribulation that the ruins’ owner would bring them.
However, upon entering the eleventh floor, what appeared was beyond their expectation.
As the door behind them closed, a dense mist suddenly appeared, gradually shrouding the surroundings.
Just as Hilia was at a loss, she noticed Elina beside her slowly emitting a vibrant green light.
Wherever the light reached, the mist gradually dissipated.
When everything beca clear, Hilia found they were no longer inside the tower but in a forest.
In front lay a vast Crescent Lake, and on the concave side of the lake, a massive tree grew, with many branches forming an extrely majestic treehouse atop.
This treehouse was entirely integrated into the giant tree, looking uniquely beautiful, majestic yet lovely.
Beside her, Elina’s voice ca, "Is this... the Old Elf Royal Court?"
Hilia looked over, "Old Elf Royal Court?"
Elina regained her composure and said, "This scene looks a lot like the Old Elf Royal Court depicted by the minstrels. Legend says, the Old Elf Royal Court was ho to the elf’s only God, and inside Crescent Lake, her divine power was amassed. Just a sip, and one could be transford, possessing the most beautiful wings of nature, the highest Magic Talent..."
Elina’s words halted abruptly.
Because changes appeared in front of Crescent Lake and the Elf Royal Court.
They saw a figure, shrouded entirely in light, descend from the sky, slowly landing over Crescent Lake.
Her voice reached Hilia and Elina’s ears, "This is my last testant... I will leave Star Fall, heading to the underworld to seek a thod to save Him. If I fail... an elf will co here to take my relics... At that ti, I hope you do not be too harsh on her..."
At that mont, the entire world beca hazy, and Hilia looked at Elina by her side, only to see her expression becoming incredibly emotional and restless.
"Elf God... Your Holiness... Your Holiness... Don’t... don’t leave... the Elf Race... needs your guidance..."
Elf God?!
Hilia’s pupils dilated with shock.
That was the Elf God?!
