"Mmn." Effortlessly achieving its goal, the highest existence that was in the form of a kitten happily nestled itself in the youth's arms, purring softly.

It was very easy to locate a building with a silver moon emblem in the Xicheng District. Almost as soon as he stepped inside the entrance to Xicheng district, Gu Yan spotted the target's location.

With the eyes of Vientiane as a token, Gu Yan was not rejected by the owner of the building. The clues were presented in front of the Earl and he immediately felt the change in the Elf's att.i.tude towards him.

"The ability to obtain the eyes of Vientiane is enough to prove that you are, indeed, a very capable person." Speaking to the youth exuding a faint glow, Finna did not show any avarice.

The Eye of Vientiane belonged to the Death G.o.d. This information was recorded in historical pieces of various poems. This famous poem was sung throughout the whole continent, to the point there was no one who did not know of it.

To be able to obtain a possession of the Death G.o.d, no matter how, Finna believed in the human adventurer's ability, giving her hope.

She knew that it was necessary to pay these adventurers to complete tasks. The greater the difficulty, the greater the value of the reward needed.

The Elves were an ancient race, and acc.u.mulating over a long period of time, they never lacked treasures that can move people's hearts.

"I have something I want to entrust to you. After you complete the task, I will give you a sacred relic, are you interested?" The high ranking female Elf took the initiative to throw a hook. With a decent att.i.tude, she was asking others for help. Despite being a member of a naturally haughty race, this Elf knew how to lower her pride.

The chain quest was here.

A new task prompt popped up on the virtual panel.

Task requirements: [? ? ? ] The mission reward is an orange named sacred relic.[2].

Gu Yan had never seen such a task before. He had to accept the task before more information on the task was released. However, it was just a thought. Gu Yan still accepted it without saying anything.

Gu Yan was very interested in the ultimate reward of this legendary quest. It was the legendary weapon of the magician cla.s.s, called the "G.o.d of Dusk". It allowed a player of the low-speed magician cla.s.s to obtain a movement skill[1]. For a magician, this was like...

Being able to carve out a successful career in the arena.

After Gu Yan accepted the task, the beautiful female elf looked at him and started explaining more about the content of the mission.

The task requirements sounded very short, it was not a long and c.u.mbersome request. However, after listening to it, Gu Yan's eyes unconsciously started twitching. He silently raised his hand to rub the little cat's fur.

Task Requirements: [? ? ?] had now become a short sentence -

Wake the sleeping Elf King - Cyril Ksurien [0/1]

The king of the elves had inexplicably fallen into an eternal slumber hundreds of years ago. This matter was something, the high-ranking n.o.bles in the Capital refused to speak about. They also prevented others from knowing about it. Not just outsiders, even the elves living in the Capital may not be aware of this information.

The Elf King's existence is closely related to the Tree of Life. The High ranking Elves were unable to simply ignore this matter and had been seeking ways to wake their King up, even to the extent of employing capable external help.

For example, Gu Yan, who had just received the task.

"Sir, let me know whenever you are ready to see his Majesty." Finna simply nodded to the youth and did not hurry him further. The temple was guarded strictly, she had to personally escort him. If not, this human would be thrown into the dungeon and locked up.

Once again, there were no hints. Gu Yan could feel an oncoming headache.

This series of tasks from the legendary chain quest was very infuriating, and the task requirements always only displayed what needed to be completed without giving any clues.

However, if you think about it from another angle, you can only take it one step at a time.

"I'm ready." With nothing more to prepare for, Gu Yan followed the female elf, who led the way to the Elf King.

The Temple of the Elves was more solemn and sacred than the Cathedral in the Human Land. The difference was that the Temple was guarded by layers of guards.

The deeper they went into the temple, the stricter the garrison. It was to the extent that even a fly would be unable to get in.

Until they reached the innermost part of the temple, the scene in front of him made Gu Yan stare in awe.

Emitting a soft glow, the Tree of Life had the power to make people feel calm. The new born elves surrounded the Tree of Life like tiny b.a.l.l.s of s.h.i.+mmering light. They did not have a form yet.

The scene in front of him was very beautiful, almost like a fairytale, but people who entered usually did not have the strength to appreciate the beauty.

Because in the middle of this beautiful scene, there existed something else that attracted all their attention in a moment -

Enshrouded by the branches and leaves of the Tree of Life, a silver-haired elf was being carefully protected.

He had beauty that transcended gender. Any word that was symbolic to beauty used to describe him was simply too lacking. It was impossible to describe his perfection. Even in this silence, it can easily touch people's hearts.

End of Chapter 71
