From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 411 - 280: Master Level Quenching Master_3

According to what he said, the magic moat should be connected to some sort of array mechanism. If someone touches the magic moat, the Elf Guards in charge of the mechanism would know immediately.

Su Muyu hastily apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this rule. Was it my action that alarmed you all to come over?"

The Elf Guard Captain, Eric, did not deny it and continued, "It’s alright, just be more cautious in the future. Even the Mana Floating Dragons dare not drink from the river after nightfall."

Su Muyu offered an awkward smile and said, "No wonder they gathered around to drink."

Eric glanced at the several Mana Floating Dragons and noted, "These little creatures are quite smart. You shouldn’t indulge them, otherwise they will hover around you asking for food."

"Such interesting little animals." Su Muyu’s interest in the Mana Floating Dragons grew as she watched them.

These creatures had translucent bodies and looked like flying eels, very beautiful.

Around this time,

Lu Heng came out of the Quenching Workshop and saw Su Muyu there. He walked over, waving at Elf Guard Captain Eric as a greeting.

"You guys go ahead and talk. Try to minimize moving around in the city at night," Eric said before turning and leaving.

Lu Heng quickly asked, "Could you please tell us where we can rest in the city?"

Eric pointed to the south and replied, "There’s a Magic Hotel in the business district over there. You can rest there. If you don’t have coins, you can pay with gemstones or Crystal Cores."

"Alright, thank you," Lu Heng nodded in gratitude.

Once Eric had walked away, Su Muyu pursed her lips and smiled, pointing at the Magic River in front and said, "So, we shouldn’t touch the river water at night. Just touching the water brought the patrol guards over."

This rule actually only affects ordinary thieves. For high-level Superpower Users who wanted to sneak in, touching the water was unnecessary.

Of course, the night-time guard in Kolos City wasn’t limited to just the Magic River.

The two strolled along the embankment of the Magic River, admiring the floating streams of light in the water, finding it exceedingly beautiful.

"How was your day’s gathering?" Lu Heng queried about her day’s achievements.

"It was quite fruitful. My Engraver experience has increased significantly, and after the manager of the Gem Workshop found out I am an Advanced Rune Master, he invited me to help them make Rune Gems, so I plan to come back tomorrow," Su Muyu chatted enthusiastically about her time at the Gem Workshop.

Lu Heng smiled and commented, "You also got drafted."

Su Muyu blinked rapidly and asked, "You too?"

Lu Heng explained, "The Elf Clan knew the Abyss Summoners had arrived, so the Elf Guard needed to upgrade their equipment quickly. There’s definitely a demand for engraved ornaments. They’re rushing the work, so they wouldn’t pass up on us who show up ready to work."

Apprentice Quenching Masters and Apprentice Rune Masters weren’t typically invited by the managers of the elf workshops.

After all, because Apprentice Quenching Masters and Apprentice Rune Masters have limited working capabilities, they are not much help.

The Vice Profession level of both was advanced, which was why they were invited.

As Lu Heng had anticipated, Xie Shi’en, Rong Xincheng, and Lin Zeyu came out from the workshops one after the other. When they heard Lu Heng inquiring, they indicated they had not received invitations to help.

However, Xie Shi’en and Rong Xincheng were both quite happy as they had acquired a Vice Profession.

Xie Shi’en became an Apprentice Array Talisman Master and Rong Xincheng an Apprentice Rune Master.

Lin Zeyu spent the afternoon helping a blacksmith in the Forging Workshop, ending up dirty and dusty, with no invite, which left him feeling somewhat aggrieved.

However, upon hearing that Rong Xincheng had gotten the Apprentice Rune Master Vice Profession, he immediately came forward, putting an arm around his shoulder to discuss partnership.

"Have you heard of the Flame Emblem? We are currently supporting the Engraver project and will provide resources.

"However, you should know that in the early stages, Engravers need to spend money on materials to gain experience. freёnovelkiss.com

"Do you know who the chief Engraver of the Flame Emblem is? It’s Lady Su.

"Do you know how Lady Su became a great Engraver? She used a lot of engraving materials in the early stages to level up her skills and only started to earn money after reaching Advanced Rune Master.

"So now you see how tough the path of an Engraver can be?

"But don’t worry, our Flame Emblem will provide materials, though the contract period might be a bit longer.

"After all, the club wants to train you, expecting you to stay with the club once you become an Advanced Rune Master."

Rong Xincheng recognized Lu Heng as a major support, as he had been through Quenching Castle.

Hearing Lin Zeyu’s recruitment offer, he didn’t hesitate and nodded, "Alright, after returning, I’ll go look for you at the Flame Emblem."

"That’s settled then," Lin Zeyu laughed heartily.

Being recruited by Lin Zeyu also reassured Rong Xincheng.

Indeed, alliances formed in the Abyss Battlefield often weren’t very stable.

Now with Lin Zeyu’s recruitment, an invisible bond strengthened their alliance, making this stint in the Abyss Battlefield safer.

After leaving the workshops, the group passed an inner gate guarded by Elf Guards and entered the commercial district of Kolos City.

The business district was located in the central area of the city and was very large.

Hotels, jewelry stores, hair salons... all sorts of shops were available.

This was indeed a bustling commercial street, though most of the shops were already closed.

The Elves led a leisurely lifestyle and went home to rest at night.

Only a few shops were still open.

Lu Heng and his group strolled around the business district for a while and entered a hotel to inquire about lodging.

The hotel owner didn’t go through any registration process, accepted the Rune Gems Su Muyu provided, gave some change based on the price, and then handed over the keys to three rooms.

The Elf Clan was indeed wealthy, making the lodging prices rather astonishing.

A Grade B Inscription Gem, worth tens of millions on Blue Star, could fetch three times the price if its Spiritual Attribute exploded to 5 points, and even up to fifty million with better inscription phrases.

Such a Grade B Inscription Gem could only secure three rooms for three days in the hotel.
