BXBX NOVEL Chapter 276 - 276: The Ecstatic Duo 1
The attribute column showed the following information:
[Name: Barrier Crystal]
[Resource Level: 4 (Rare)]
[Specifications: loocm*loocm*loocm]
[Purity: S-Class]
[Storage Barrier: ??? ]
[Note: This is a nearly perfect purity barrier crystal that has experienced long periods underground. It once belonged to an ancient race that had once prospered on this continent.]
Inside the crystal, a unique auxiliary magic barrier is stored, which can only be activated by the magic powerhouses of that ancient race.]
“It turns out that like the Elf Core I found earlier, this is also a rare resource of up to Level 4.”
“To think that for most of the current lords, even obtaining Level 2 common resources like copper ore and iron ore is an extremely difficult task, let alone a Level 4 rare resource like this.”
As he examined the text on the semi-transparent dialog box in front of him, Leo Ray’s eyes moved back and forth, showing a thoughtful expression.
“That said, is it true that only powerhouses of the corresponding race can activate the barrier stored inside? But which race left this crystal behind?”
“Judging by the strange magic patterns on the surface, it’s clearly different from the Light Healing House of the Elf Tribe. The patterns of the Elf Tribe are more rounded, while the magic patterns on the surface of this Barrier Crystal have more obtuse angles.”
Having realized this, Leo Ray looked at Scarlett, Orion Wolfe, and Joshua Bingaman nearby, who were also magic powerhouses.
In response, the three of them shook their heads helplessly, as none of them had seen such magic patterns before.
“Never mind. Based on the note, this barrier crystal should be at least a thousand years old. The ancient race it belonged to probably disappeared into the long river of human history long ago.
I’ll ask Jasper Richardson when she returns. Perhaps the half-elf ancestor might have some clues.”
As Leo Ray thought about this,
On the other hand, the siblings Solomon and Sylvia, as well as Silas Brooks, Xavier Perry, and Cheyenne Hamilton, all had confused expressions, seemingly unaware of why, but feeling that something very impressive had just happened.
Without a doubt, at this stage, those who had not been exposed to magic like them would naturally not understand the conversation between Leo Ray and the others.
Next, after further explanation from Orion Wolfe, Leo Ray learned most people couldn’t activate barriers stored in the crystal.
Since the Barrier Crystals resonate within a certain range,
Leo Ray didn’t hesitate to ask Taylor to continue digging nearby.
As expected, the party soon dug out another Barrier Crystal of the same size using this mysterious magnetic-like reaction.
However, this time, there was no barrier stored in the newly found Barrier Crystal, implying that it had never been used before.
“Not bad at all, one with a mysterious barrier, and one brand new. Quite a harvest.”
After confirming that there were no more barrier crystal reactions in the surrounding area,
Leo Ray casually waved his hand and collected the two transparent crystal stones, which looked like giant ice bricks, into his bag.
This scene made Solomon and the other lords present show a look of envy on their faces.
Although the storage wooden box in each lord’s territory has the same function, it cannot be used outside of the territory.
It can be seen how convenient it would be to have a portable storage space.
While the lords were envious,On the other side, Leo Ray first flicked off the dust on his Illusion Cloak.
Then, walking casually to Solomon and Sylvia, he said indifferently, “This time, the information you provided was accurate. However, due to the nearly priceless nature of these two Barrier Crystals,
I will meet a reasonable request from you. If you need anything, just ask.”
“Thank you, Master Christopher!”
Hearing this, both Solomon and Sylvia couldn’t help but show uncontrollable joy on their faces.
Undoubtedly, their overall strength was far inferior to that of Silas Brooks, who had just fled in embarrassment.
To defeat those five Tier 2 Sharp-Blade Land Beasts and successfully reach here in the depths of the underground cave would be an impossible task for them.
So, the brother and sister duo, who were just spectators throughout the process, were naturally overjoyed to get a chance to make a request from Master Leo.
Thus, after whispering with Sylvia for a few moments, an excited Solomon stepped forward and tentatively said to Leo Ray, “Master Christopher, can we get a few Tier 2 Recruitment Orders in exchange for these two crystals and the ores we mined earlier?”
As he spoke, both Solomon and Sylvia’s similar facial features revealed an identical look of expectation.
It was no doubt that this morning, they were at an absolute disadvantage against Silas Brooks and his companions because of their Tier 2 Subordinate.
This fact had been weighing on their minds the whole day.
Therefore, upon hearing that they could make a request, both immediately thought of this.
“Of course.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
Immediately, with a move of his mind, four metallic Tier 2 Recruitment Orders appeared in his palm.
So as long as there was an upgrade, he could get a steady income of 100 to 300 Tier 2 Recruitment Orders every day.
Thus, giving away a few of these was not a problem.
According to the previous distribution method, the vast amount of ores and Barrier Crystals here, along with their immense value, were obviously worth far more than these few Tier 2 Recruitment Orders.
Also, if they had stronger Tier 2 Subordinates, they could naturally work more efficiently for him.
The most crucial point was that Leo Ray wanted to set an example in front of the other three Lords.
He wanted them to clearly understand that if they fully committed to the tasks he assigned, they could reap corresponding benefits.
In summary, no matter from which perspective, Solomon and Sylvia’s request was within the scope he could accept.
“Thank you very much, Master Christopher!”
Receiving two shining Tier 2 Recruitment Orders each, the joy on Solomon and Sylvia’s faces was evident, and they were almost dancing with excitement. On the other side, just as Leo Ray predicted,
Silas Brooks, Xavier Perry, and Cheyenne Hamilton, all showed uncontrollable envy and longing on their faces.
Without a doubt, starting from this moment,
Solomon and Sylvia’s combat power had already surpassed theirs by a significant margin!
Seeing this, Leo Ray gave a faint smile and continued with the next topic..
