From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 421 - 284 Moon Well_2

"Indeed, it’s a bit strange. We’ve done what we should have done, and our current goal is to prioritize task completion. The Main Quest isn’t a big issue; we need to focus on completing the Challenge Task."

Lu Heng’s thought process was clear; helping the Elf Civilization to resolve its crisis was the main goal of the Abyss Battlefield, but not every task could be successful.

Moreover, since the Elf Clan had such profound strength and heritage, if they couldn’t save themselves, summoning more Humans to help would be futile.

Therefore, the current goal should be placed on completing the Challenge Task. Perhaps once the Challenge Task was completed, the crisis of the Elf Clan would also be solved.

Among the Challenge Tasks, the second one was to find the source of the pollution, and the third one was to resolve the crisis in Kolos City. We currently have no leads on these two tasks.

So only the first one is relatively easy to complete, which is to kill twenty Abyss Summoners.

"So, do we have to leave the city to look for the Abyss Summoners?" Su Muyu, who had been listening quietly, absorbing information like the sea, rarely spoke.

"Let’s see if anything happens in the next two days. If there are any bounties or tasks for leaving the city, we’ll take them and then go out and see if we can encounter any Abyss Summoners," Lu Heng decided.

...

As night fell,

Lin Zeyu came out of the forge, tired and covered in grime. When he returned to the inn, he saw that Lu Heng and his companion were quite at leisure and asked, "Have you stopped going to the workshop?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and replied, "I’ve finished the Quenching work above Level 6; the lower level tasks offer no experience."

Ever since he had risen to Forging Master Level in his Vice Profession, not only did Quenching tasks below Level 3 provide no experience, those below Level 6 offered very little as well.

Therefore, after this return, not only the Quenching Orders below Level 3 but also those below Level 6 would be assigned to Yuan Hecheng.

Lin Zeyu lay on the bed, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "I’m exhausted, but thankfully I’ve finally gotten rid of the word ’Apprentice.’

He had finally progressed from Apprentice Forging Assistant to a formal Forging Assistant. Although it had been slow, he had still advanced.

Hearing him say this, Lu Heng encouraged him, "That’s good; later on, you can try transitioning to be a Forging Master."

Lin Zeyu’s eyes lit up, and he sat up with a bounce, asking, "Can I really transition to a Forging Master?"

Lu Heng answered as if it were a matter of course, "An assistant can’t be an assistant forever, you’ll definitely have to become a Forging Master, unless you don’t like this Vice Profession and could try obtaining another."

Lin Zeyu raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I think being a Forging Master is great, simply excellent. After I return, I’ll learn Forging from Gulu; my prospects are brilliant."

Gulu was the only Forging Master on Blue Star, and learning Forging from Gulu was like winning at the starting line.

He wasn’t learning Forging to craft any Divine Weapons; after all, if they really needed to make a Divine Weapon, they could just have Gulu do it.

He was advancing in his Vice Profession because of the additional effects it provided.

For instance, the Flame Resistance provided by both Forging Masters and Quenching Masters was very important, even arguably one of the most essential resistances.

Lu Heng briefly shared the day’s events with him and then they each went back to rest.

...

At night,

within the Magic Corridor of the Kolos City Palace District, there was a space door invisible to ordinary people.

This was the greatest secret of the Quel’dorei Elf world.

Queen Orelana stepped into the Magic Corridor, walked to the center, and gently raised her hand, releasing a burst of Arcane Energy.

A wonderful spatial membrane appeared before her eyes, separating the space in front of her into two worlds.

She stepped across this layer of space and entered another realm as if transported to another world.

In this space, it was filled with Magic Energy and vibrant life.

The earth was covered with dazzlingly colorful plants, each growing strong—the ancient trees, the brilliant flowers.

Occasionally, animals would appear in the woods.

Noticing the Elf Queen’s arrival, a unicorn galloped out from the forest and circled around her.

Queen Orelana reached out her hand to stroke the unicorn’s back and then, with it tagging along, walked deeper into the woods.

They passed through a mystical path in the forest and arrived in front of a clearing.

In the center of the clearing stood a Moon Well surrounded by crystal stones.

This was the last Moon Well in the Quel’dorei world that hadn’t run dry, also the final well that the Elf Clan had protected with their depleted resources.

Now, the high Elves who had the privilege to enter here could be counted on one hand.

This Moon Well was also the last fate of the Elf Clan. If this well were to be polluted, it would herald a dark future for Elf Civilization, and the civilization would rapidly decline.

Once the civilization fell, the Elf Clan would lose the ability to combat the Abyss.

Therefore, when Queen Orelana heard Lu Heng’s reminder earlier that day, her heart was also filled with concern. She took advantage of the night to come and check, ensuring the Moon Well was still safe.

She walked up to the Moon Well, slowly stretched out her hand and a stream of Magic Spring Water floated up from the well and into her palm.

She gently held the Magic Spring Water, brought it to her nose, and smelled it, feeling the sacred Magic Energy within.

This sacred Magic Energy was still as pure as ever, showing no signs of contamination.

With this confirmed, she felt somewhat relieved.

At that moment,

an older upper-class Elf appeared behind her, looking at her with a protective gaze full of limitless tenderness.

Without turning around, Queen Orelana greeted him, "Teacher, you’ve come too."
