The first person Leo Ray thought of was Penelope, whom he had received a message from not long ago.

As for their team’s current situation, these two methods of obtaining [Tears of the Elves].

Naturally, it would be more convenient to find ancient relics left behind by the Elf Tribe.

At present, the only clue to ancient relics is the one next to Penelope’s territory.

“Only in the outer area of that relic could a Miracle Building Blueprint be found, so there is a high probability that other treasures exist inside.”

“Moreover, according to Penelope’s description, the relic is located between vines and mud in a forest wetland. According to the knowledge I’ve gained during this period, it also fits the living habits of the Elf Tribe.”

Lost in his thoughts, Leo Ray nodded slightly while continuing to ponder and stroking his chin.

In terms of whether the other party would agree to cooperate, it shouldn’t be a big problem-

After all, considering that two farmers died on the first day from their side.

That ancient relic certainly poses an uncertain danger. “I think nobody would be willing to live beside such a time bomb, right?” “Besides, in return, they would naturally gain some benefits.”

Thinking about this, Leo Ray showed a contemplative expression: “But I can’t confirm that the ancient relic is indeed the one left behind by the Elf Tribe.”

After pondering for a moment, his eyes brightened, and a thought crossed his mind.

He then took out the [Miracle Building Blueprint: Light Healing House], which was covered with magical flowing light, and handed it to Jasper Richardson.

“The unique magical aura of the Elf Tribe… Lord, isn’t this an Elf Tribe’s Miracle Building Blueprint?”

Jasper Richardson, who is knowledgeable and experienced, looked incredulously at the ancient blueprint in Leo Ray’s hand. “It seems that our next destination can be basically determined.”

Putting the blueprint back into the bag, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

However, after enjoying a moment of happiness, Leo Ray realized another important issue.

“Right, there’s still one crucial matter left unsolved: how can we reach the area where their territory is located?”

Based on Penelope’s previous description.

Their territory is likely located in a tropical climate wetland forest.

Obviously, it is completely different from their temperate climate zone.

Just judging from the climate zones alone, the distance between them and the other party could be vast.

Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown.

“Moreover, even if we can reach their location, how can we find it if they aren’t aware of the specific geographical location of their territory?” Thinking about this, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly.

“Forget it, I’ll chat with them tomorrow, and ask Jasper if it doesn’t work.

Anyway, it’s a good starting point and direction.”

Making up his mind and feeling somewhat relaxed, Leo Ray began to feel sleepy, as if the tiredness of the whole day had surged up at this moment.

Jasper, who was standing beside him, also yawned unconsciously, bowed respectfully to Leo Ray, and then turned into a ray of light, returning to the bracelet.

Like this, the increasingly drowsy Leo Ray went straight to the bedroom on the third floor without doing anything else, starting to rest.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Leo Ray was once again woken up by the soft yet penetrating cry of the Oriole.

Shaking his head helplessly, Leo Ray sat up from the bed and stretched lazily. Without hesitation, he directly threw a Rose Gathering Energy Pill into his mouth.

After some time had passed, Leo Ray, who had refined his physical energy vortex, swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill.

When the sky was completely bright, accompanied by a turbid breath, Leo Ray slowly opened his eyes.

“Physical Tier 3 Two-Star, Magic Tier 2 Three-star, huh? Not bad.”Feeling invigorated as he arrived at the ground level, Leo Ray’s mind shifted slightly, and a faint milky white energy rolled out from within his body, covering him completely.

In an instant, a semi-transparent energy shield visible to the naked eye quickly condensed and formed, like wearing a windbreaker.

This energy shield is a unique ability possessed by those above Tier 3.

Like a buffer layer, it can reduce the damage received to a certain extent.

Next, a slightly weaker ivory white energy merged into the energy shield around Leo Ray.

As the two energies mixed, the aura he emanated became noticeably stronger.

“Although the magic energy vortex cannot form an independent energy shield, it can enhance the physical energy shield. Magic and martial dual cultivation are indeed extraordinary.”

Nodding in delight, Leo Ray waved his hand, and the energy shield on his body began to dissipate. It then rippled faintly in the surrounding air before disappearing completely.

Next, Leo Ray opened the recent contacts interface and sent a message to Penelope, telling her about the need to explore the ancient ruins.

At the same time, in a vast wetland forest somewhere far away,

With the sound of a “ding,” Penelope, who was squatting by a clear flowing river washing her face, was startled by the unexpected noise.

Even the brown towel she had hung around her neck to wipe her face accidentally fell into the river.

Penelope hurriedly fished the towel out of the water, wringing it dry while heaving a sigh of relief.

This towel was exchanged for a whole 50 units of various fruits at the Trading Center, a rare item indeed. If the river had washed it away, it would’ve been a considerable loss.

Wiping her face, Penelope draped the towel back over her slender body and opened the private message interface with curiosity.

“It’s Master Leo?”

Seeing the sender’s name, Penelope’s eyes widened in both surprise and delight. She hurriedly clicked on the message.

“So that’s it. That ruin has been making strange noises from time to time, and I’m always worried that something might attack the territory.

But I haven’t dared to explore since the incident on the first day… if Master Leo comes to solve it, that would be great!”

Thinking of this, an excited but nervous Penelope quickly replied to the message while looking troubled.

Although she had been here for a long time since crossing worlds,

She and her subordinates had always been restricted to a few kilometers radius around the territory, never leaving the forest, let alone encountering any other locals.

Thus, she had no idea where she was.

Helplessly shaking her head, Penelope had no choice but to tell the truth and press the send button.

“As expected…”

Upon receiving Penelope’s reply, Leo Ray, who had just arrived on the first floor of the Mansion, immediately furrowed his brow: “Not knowing her exact location is a big problem.”

While claiming two Tier 2 Recruitment Orders and a Returning Crystal for the day, Leo Ray continued pondering: “Nevermind, the Recruitment Orders I got last night haven’t been upgraded yet, let’s upgrade them first.” The next second, the prompt sounded in Leo Ray’s ear.

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Order’ has been upgraded to 102 ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Orders’!]

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Order’ has been upgraded to a ‘Tier 3 Recruitment Order’!]

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Order’ has been upgraded to 103 ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Orders’!]

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitment Order’ has been upgraded to a ‘Tier 3 Recruitment Order’!]

“So, I got a total of 205 Tier 2 Recruitment Orders and 2 Tier 3 Recruitment Orders, huh? Indeed, my performance is ordinary.”

As he thought about this, Leo Ray’s gaze fell onto the small Returning Crystal

Feeling the crystal clear, ice-cold sensation that came from the small cyan crystal,

Leo Ray mused, “Ever since I got this the first time, it’s only ever undergone one quantitative change, and it’s never leveled up since, piling up to a total of seven crystals.”

“Today, I might as well upgrade all of them and see what results the qualitative change will bring.”

Following that, Leo Ray began to upgrade directly..
