Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 78 Daydreaming (Seeking first subscription!)
After thinking about it, I realized that the deer's clothes were indeed not very convenient.

Loren sighed, "Your Majesty, I beg you..."

Serusia was speechless.

I should have just handed this guy over to Amitil...

"Take out that ice silkworm."

Loren took out the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm from the ring.

Under the Queen's intimidation, the thousand-year-old ice silkworm spun its silk.

A green light emanated from the elf insect, and silkworm silk transformed into a silken garment that floated towards Loren.

Loren finished dressing and asked, "Your Majesty, could you please take me out of the labyrinth?"

"You at least need to let me know the specific route."

"Isn't your ability spatial teleportation?"

When he went to the royal city last time, the Elf Queen appeared in his room out of thin air with Snowflake. Wasn't that a spatial teleportation?
"You're overthinking it." Serusia was too lazy to explain further.

Loren exclaimed that it was a pity.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to return the way we came.

"Your Majesty, you should be able to help me if I encounter danger, right?"

Serusia was utterly baffled. "How did you even get down here?"

Loren chuckled, "I was lucky and didn't encounter any monsters on the way. Then I used some tricks to lure them away from the mountain."

"The power of my avatar is limited. I will take action only when absolutely necessary."

Loren breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the Elf Queen's promise.

He carried the dragon egg back to the fifteenth floor.

Lilia followed behind.

The queen's elven insect form perched on his shoulder.

At the entrance from the fifteenth to the sixteenth floor, an earth dragon lay prostrate on the ground.

It had long sensed the presence of the dragon egg.

After a few days, the dragon egg's aura has become even stronger.

The Queen's avatar glanced at Loren, "I see. You're quite lucky to have run into a sub-dragon."

The sub-dragon species is stronger than ordinary magical beasts.

If it were anyone else, even a Sky Knight, it would be very difficult to get past the Earth Dragon.

Unfortunately, Loren was carrying a dragon egg.

"Your Majesty, the next level is very dangerous. There is a hydra on the fourteenth level of the maze. It is immune to magic. Can you deal with it?"

Serusia did not answer, feeling somewhat displeased.

Who does this guy look down on?

She can easily deal with even pure-blooded dragons, let alone a hydra.

Loren sensed the queen's arrogance.

He confidently headed to the fourteenth floor.

Loren finally witnessed the extraordinary power of the Elf Queen.

The invincible Hydra in his eyes was directly cleaved into pieces by countless green magical leaves.

Magic immunity?

nonexistent.

Magic immunity is useless against absolute power.

Rapid regeneration?
It doesn't exist.

The Queen's move was instantaneous; how could Hydra possibly have a chance to revive?
The materials dropped from the Hydra are extremely valuable.

Those dozen or so venomous fangs, each larger than an adult's head, could be made into a fairly good weapon.

Unfortunately, there are no storage items.

"Your Majesty, why can't your Elf Ring store items like crystals?"

The ring can only hold flowers, plants, and various magical creatures.

This was a real headache for Loren.

Celucia ignored her, saying, "If you don't want it, you can give it back to me."

"How about that?"

This is proof that the Queen proposed to him; how could he just return it?

With the help of the Elf Queen, Loren traveled unimpeded.

The journey back was indeed much easier than the journey there.

Loren exclaimed, "Her Majesty the Queen is so useful..."

Serusia felt there was something odd about that statement.

She suspected Loren was doing it on purpose, but had no proof.

This guy really needs to be taught a lesson!

We need to find a chance to teach him a lesson!
We soon arrived at the ninth floor.

The Elf Queen had her own things to attend to, and she couldn't keep focusing her attention on Loren all the time.

Although exploring the maze was easy, returning to the first level still took a long time.

A few days later, Loren arrived at the ninth floor.

Due to a lack of storage items and the Elf Queen's urging, Loren had no choice but to abandon the various hidden rooms.

Just as Lorraine returned to the ninth floor, she heard a girl's shout coming from afar.

"Help!"

A young girl in white is being chased by a giant spider.

Loren generally doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

But the girl ran straight toward him, so he had no choice but to help.

The monsters on the ninth floor are generally weak, so the Elf Queen doesn't need to intervene.

"Little deer, I'm leaving her to you."

Seeing the spider's terrifying face, Lilia was somewhat frightened.

Because the monsters on the previous floors were too strong, she began to doubt her own abilities.

So her first reaction upon seeing the giant spider was to run away.

Lilia pulled Loren onto her back and ran away.

The girl in white was dumbfounded.

She relentlessly pursued Lilia.

The giant spider was chasing after her.

"Little deer, why are you running?"

“Such a big spider! It must have run away!” Lilia declared confidently.

She ran while looking back, shouting, "Who are you? Stop chasing the deer!"

The girl's gaze turned cold.

The stone wall in front of her collapsed with a crash, blocking Lilia's path.

Lilia slammed on the brakes, her heart pounding with anxiety. "It's all over! Loren, you have to do something right now!"

She not only questioned her own abilities but also misunderstood Loren's strength.

When the Queen intervened, Lilia mistakenly believed it was Loren who did it.

“That spider is just a high-level magical beast, why are you afraid of it?” Loren asked.

"really?"

"Of course it's true! Have I ever lied to you? Don't be afraid, believe in yourself, you're invincible!"

The moment he uttered those words, Loren suddenly felt a darkness engulf his vision.

Eh?
what happened?
As if his body had been hollowed out, Loren fainted instantly.

Lilia panicked immediately.

She threw a magic ball at the spider.

The rolling magic ball struck, causing the giant spider to pause for a moment before collapsing to the ground.

Lilia paid no attention to the spider's condition.

She turned to look at Loren and asked anxiously, "Loren, what's wrong with you again? Don't die!"

The girl stopped.

They came to Loren and Lilia.

She silently watched Lilia, sighing inwardly, "What a lucky girl..."

Serusia's consciousness returned to her avatar.

The queen was puzzled when she saw Loren fall to the ground.

Why did this guy faint again?
Didn't we say we should go to her if we encountered any trouble?
She glanced at the girl in white opposite her, but didn't pay much attention.

Serusia carefully examined Loren's condition.

My doubts grew stronger.

How could this guy's magic power have dried up like this?

A surge of green light appeared as the Queen replenished Loren's...magic power.

Something is wrong!
His magic is more than just dryness!
Serusia felt her magic power rapidly draining away.

what is happening?
The girl in white observed the queen's incarnation with great interest.

He had a gloating look on his face.

Loren gradually regained consciousness.

Serusia stopped channeling magic.

She felt that most of the magic power in her body had been lost.

Not only is the magic of the incarnation being lost, but the magic of the original body is also being lost!

She'll need at least two weeks to recover!
Celucia glared at Loren with displeasure. She should have just handed this guy over to Amitil!
Serusia felt very weak.

She needs time to rest and recover her magic.

"The power of the avatar has been exhausted. Now you can go back on your own."

After saying that, Serusia returned to the Elf Ring.

Loren stood up, a doubt creeping into his mind.

Why did he suddenly faint just now?
Moreover, the Elf Queen's tone sounded somewhat angry.

The girl in white ran to Loren in fear and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Loren then got a clear look at the girl's face.

She is very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are captivating.

"Why are you on the ninth floor of the maze?" Loren asked, puzzled.

The girl lowered her head, her expression sorrowful. "I came down with my father and brother. They were eaten by monsters while trying to save me... Big brother, can you take me out of the maze?"

The girl reached out and tugged at Loren's clothes, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lilia immediately became displeased. "Hey! Let go of my hand right now, this is where the little deer is!"

Human joys and sorrows are not mutually exclusive.

She would not feel any pity for the girl because of the death of her family.

You grab Loren's clothes, where does the little deer pull?

The girl quickly let go of her hand. "I'm...I'm sorry, I was just a little scared."

Lilia blinked. "Okay, Little Deer forgives you."

"What's your name?" Loren asked.

"My name is Mir."

"We're just about to leave the maze, why don't you come with us?"

In Loren's opinion, Mil's strength was even inferior to that of the brother and sister from before.

With such strength, she managed to get to the ninth level; I wonder what her father and brother were thinking.

The subsequent exploration went very smoothly.

Lilia's strength has clearly improved a lot.

Loren's strength has also improved.

After absorbing the divine essence, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary high-ranking knights.

The advanced magical beasts in the maze were no match for them.

A few days later, Loren successfully left the maze.

"Miss Mil, let's part ways here. Take care of yourself."

During the exploration, perhaps out of fear, Mil always clung to Loren, intentionally or unintentionally.

Loren didn't say much, but he was extremely wary.

One must be wary of strangers.

Even if the other person looks like just a frail young girl.

Mill lowered her head. "Big brother, can you take me with you?"

"You must be a human from the Ice and Snow Clan, right? I come from the Elf Kingdom, so I can't take you with me."

The Ice Clan could not adapt to the climate of the Elf Kingdom.

Otherwise, Loren wouldn't mind taking Mil back to be his maid.

Mil fell silent.

You could tell she was very sad.

Loren and Lilia left the labyrinth, passed through Wolf King City, and then went to White City.

Mil followed silently behind them without saying a word.

Loren sighed.

According to Mir, her father and brother were eaten by monsters, and her mother had long since passed away, leaving her with no relatives.

It would be difficult for a frail young girl to survive in this icy and snowy landscape.

Loren couldn't help her.

Seeing that Loren was about to leave White City, Mil finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Brother Loren, can you stay? With Mil..."

Just as Loren was about to refuse, information suddenly came to his mind.

This maze exploration took nearly a month.

The April intelligence update has just been released.

[Monthly information updated]

[Intelligence 1]: You have obtained divine essence, undergone a complete transformation, and greatly enhanced your knight and wizard talents. You have also gained the ability of divine blessing, which requires a large amount of magic power and cannot be used continuously for a short period of time.

[Intelligence 2]: Lilia has received your blessing and comprehended the power of dreams.

[Intelligence 3]: The Frost Dragon Egg will hatch this month. Absorbing Magic Flame Stones can speed up its hatching process.

[Intelligence 4]: The Ice Empress Emily made a bet with the Elf Queen. She disguised herself as a weak girl to get close to you, hoping to keep you in the Ice Empire.

[Intelligence 5]: The Elf Queen expended a great deal of magic to awaken you and will need a long time to recover.

Upon learning of April's intelligence, Loren's expression gradually turned strange.

These days, daily intelligence updates are being provided continuously.

The true identity of the Ice Queen was not mentioned.

It wasn't until April, when intelligence emerged, that he learned that Mil was actually the Ice Queen in disguise.

Why did the Empress want him to stay? Was it because of the divine essence?
This is the only explanation!

The other party probably already knows that she has obtained divine essence.

Moreover, he had negotiated with the Elf Queen without his knowledge!
"Brother Loren, is it okay?"

Mil's eyes reddened as she begged Loren to stay.

All I can say is that the Empress's acting skills are superb.

If it weren't for the updated intelligence, he really wouldn't have noticed.

Logically speaking, if the Ice Queen really wanted to keep him, there would be no need for her to go to such great lengths.

Her actions may be related to the bet with the Elf Queen.

She shouldn't use harsh methods.

With that in mind, Loren was in no hurry to refuse.

“Miss Mil, I would love to stay with you, but… I am already engaged.”

“I don’t mind!” Mill reached out and grabbed Loren’s arm. “You can bring your wife with you. As long as you stay, I’ll do anything…”

The thought that the words were spoken by the Empress of the Snow Kingdom made Loren swallow hard.

But he could never betray the Elf Kingdom.

In particular, the Elf Queen expended a great deal of magic to help him.

"This……"

Loren feigned hesitation.

He did not refuse decisively.

On the one hand, they were worried that the empress would turn against them.

On the other hand, he wanted to keep her hanging on for a while, hoping to have a chance to win her over and get her to join the Elf Kingdom later.

Although it's not very realistic.

But everyone must have dreams!
What if it happens?

“Miss Mil, I know you are a good girl and I would love to live with you, but I need to go back and ask my fiancée for her opinion.”

As Mil slowly released her grip, she silently gazed at Loren, her eyes filled with a tenderness that evoked pity.

Loren couldn't bear it any longer and avoided eye contact.

Mil whispered, "Brother Loren, can you close your eyes?"

Loren's heart skipped a beat.

What do you mean?
This kind of plot usually only happens in melodramatic romance novels.

He closed his eyes, bewildered.

The mighty Ice Queen couldn't possibly sneak a kiss on him...

Loren felt a cool touch on his lips, which vanished in an instant.

He suddenly opened his eyes, but the wind and snow blowing in front of him confused his vision.

The sensation I felt just now...

Loren looked at Mil in surprise.

If the other party is truly a desperate young girl, then such behavior is understandable.

But she is the noble Ice and Snow Empress, how could she do such a thing?
Mil blushed. "Thank you for saving me. I'll always be waiting for you in White City. You must come back to find me!"

After saying that, she fled in embarrassment.

Loren pursed his lips, as if savoring the memory.

He looked at Lilia beside him and asked, "Did you see what she just did?"

Lilia shook her head. "The wind was so strong just now that the little deer couldn't even open its eyes."

Without a doubt, this was the work of the Ice Queen.

Her actions were intended to make Loren's mind wander.

She may have just touched her lips with two fingers.

How abominable!

They actually used such despicable tricks to fool an innocent young boy like him!

He must make an offer to Her Majesty the Queen.

Reclaiming the Ice and Snow Empire is of utmost urgency!
