Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 93 Reward
"Your Majesty, this is my most precious secret, you must not tell anyone else."

Loren didn't want anyone else to know about the methods of hybridization.

Although they are not wizards.

However, with dedicated research over several years or even decades, ordinary people may also be able to grasp the secrets of hybridization technology.

"Try it first, and let me see how it works."

Loren demonstrated the entire process of hybridization and breeding.

Serusia was quite surprised.

Is it really that easy to cultivate new plant varieties?

"Your Majesty, if we use different varieties of magical plants, the elves' evolution efficiency will be even higher," Loren hinted cryptically.

Celucia glanced at Loren and said, "If you want the magical plant, just say so. Don't beat around the bush with me."

Loren chuckled.

How can this be called begging?
Serusia thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Continue to raise the spirit insects. If you do a good job, I can consider giving you some rewards."

"A reward?" Loren's face lit up with delight. "What reward?"

"If you raise a little elf, I will reward you with an elf bug."

If you successfully raise a powerful Pokémon, you'll be rewarded with a smaller Pokémon.

If you successfully raise a dragon spirit, you will be rewarded with a powerful spirit.

"Oh...that's it..." Loren said, somewhat disappointed.

What else could it be!
Are you suggesting I reward you with an Elf Queen?
Every time they talked, Celia felt that Loren was asking for a beating.

That kick last time was really too light!

After hearing Loren's cultivation methods, Celusia did consider trying it herself.

But she had more important things to do and didn't have much time to study plants.

Therefore, it would be better to entrust the task of raising elves to Loren.

This guy has a lot of clever ideas; he might actually be able to breed a dragon spirit.

“I have another task for you this time,” Celia said.

"What mission?"

"Next month I plan to launch a full-scale attack on the territory of the Orc King El. You and Lori will lead troops from the east coast, kill as many orc leaders as possible, and conquer the territory."

Why did Celucia insist that Loren lead the army?

Because the new territory needs a lord.

Lorton once led troops to conquer the coastal areas for the Elven Kingdom and eventually became the Earl of Silvermoon County.

Loren could naturally use the same method to acquire a new earldom.

To become an earl, one must first achieve military merit.

This attack on the Orc King El is the best opportunity.

Loren was aware of this, so he did not refuse.

With his current strength, dealing with enemies at the commander level is not a problem at all.

Even if you encounter an orc general, your life will not be in danger.

As for the Marshal and the Orc King, Celucia has her own ways of dealing with them, so he doesn't need to worry about them.

After issuing the order, the Elf Queen returned to her original form.

Loren continued his botanical research.

As new plants continue to appear, the pupal stage of the Fairy Bugs is shortened, and more than ten Fairy Bugs have all evolved into Little Fairies.

A series of wailing sounds came from the office.

That is, little elves.

These sounds would only be annoying to other creatures.

Loren simply didn't have the time to name each little elf.

He had no choice but to name it according to the original plant type of the little elf.

Let's leave the naming for later.

We'll name them after they evolve into dragon spirits!
"You three, stop fighting!"

Barley, rye, and wheat—the three little sprites evolved at almost the same time.

As soon as they evolved, they started wrestling and yelping.

Previously, only barley and rye were fighting each other, but now wheat has joined the fray.

I really don't understand what these guys are doing.

This kind of fighting will not get anywhere!
As the sprite continued to evolve, Loren discovered that his wizarding abilities were showing signs of a breakthrough.

The evolution of nearly twenty Pokémon also brought him a significant boost.

Sensing the surging magic within him, Loren put away the sprite and headed to the wasteland north of Sandstone Town.

He had a premonition that he couldn't break through inside the castle!

Passing through farmland, we arrived near the Monster Mountain Range.

Loren sensed the rich aroma of plants, and the magic within him grew increasingly restless.

He closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Loren's body inherently contained a great deal of magic.

Now, this magic is being rapidly depleted.

At the same time, the magical power of heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body.

His aura was steadily increasing.

Loren is about to break through and become a full-fledged wizard!
Xuefu and Liz sensed the magical aura in the wasteland of Sandstone Town and came to investigate immediately.

They saw Loren meditating, and they also saw the dark clouds rising on the horizon.

Dark clouds covered the entire sky.

A light drizzle fell from the sky, and the land nourished by the rain was brimming with life.

Liz looked on in surprise, "Lord, are you breaking through?"

She was not a witch and had never seen anything like it before.

Sheffield immediately realized what was happening. "Liz, quickly lead the knights to guard the farm entrance and prevent anyone from entering."

Sandstone Town now attracts many tourists.

Xuefu didn't want anyone to bother Loren.

He also didn't want anyone to know Loren's secret.

She only learned today that a wizard's breakthrough could actually trigger celestial phenomena.

Because of the drizzle, the plants in Shashi Town are growing rapidly, and some have even mutated.

Sensing the magical aura around her, Xuefu vaguely understood something.

Loren's aura continued to rise, and the expression on his face kept changing.

At the moment of breakthrough, he seemed to see a luminous road, the end of which he did not know where.

This is a one-way street; once you step onto it, there is no turning back.

After much hesitation, Loren chose to give up.

Because he felt it was a rather important decision.

The path is always there. There's no need to rush into making a choice.

The glowing road disappeared, the dark clouds on the horizon faded, and Loren slowly opened his eyes.

He finally became a full-fledged wizard.

Loren casually tossed out a fire arrow.

The fire arrows are extremely powerful, no less so than the Earth Knight's attacks.

The strength of a formal wizard is on a completely different level from that of an apprentice wizard.

After the breakthrough, he even felt that he could fight Loris.

Xuefu excitedly stepped forward, "Loren, you've broken through to become a formal wizard?"

Loren nodded.

"Have you noticed any changes?"

"His strength has improved a lot. He should be about the same as the Earth Knight when he becomes a formal wizard."

A Level 1 Official Wizard corresponds to a Novice Earth Knight.

Compared to knights, sorcerers excel at various ranged offensive methods.

Therefore, at the same level, a wizard is generally slightly stronger than a knight.

However, when dealing with certain special enemies, such as the Hydra which is immune to magic, knights are clearly more reliable than wizards.

Moreover, Loren possessed too little witchcraft, making him slightly weaker than the Earth Knight.

All the sprite insects have completed their evolution, and the wizard's level has been raised.

The next thing to consider, of course, is when to go into battle.

"Loren, before we set off..."

Xuefu spoke with a shy tone.

Loren understood and played a few intense games before leaving.

"Snowflake, I'm leaving Sandstone Town in your care for the next while."

"Yes, you must be careful."

Xuefu really wanted to go with Loren.

But she knew.

With her current strength, she can't help Loren much.

Xuefu has only recently been promoted to Level 3 Apprentice Wizard, and she still has a long way to go before becoming a full-fledged wizard.

Needless to say, the knights are also very strong.

The greatest help she could offer was to stay in Shashi Town and cultivate more new plant varieties.

Loren led the centaur knights from Sandstone Town to Nearshore Town.

Loris and Hela were chatting in the castle.

Seeing Loren arrive with his knightly corps, Loris looked surprised and asked, "What brings you to Nearshore Town?"

"The Elf Queen has ordered us to lead our troops to conquer the territory of the Orcish tribe."

Upon hearing that war was imminent, Loris immediately became interested.

"When? Now?"

Why are you so enthusiastic?

"Nonsense, I train hard every day just to fight! Tell me, how many men do you need this time? Several of my knights have already advanced to the intermediate level."

Loren had already made a plan: "You can do it alone, but bring the Peanut Elf along too."

"You only brought this few people?"

"We don't need to confront the enemy head-on."

Loren's biggest advantage is his daily intelligence.

Based on the information provided by intelligence, he may be able to accurately determine the opponent's deployment and plans.

In that case, the best combat strategy is a sneak attack.

Orc tribes have scouts to gather information.

If I bring a large group of knights, I'll definitely be discovered.

So it's better to go it alone and fight solo.

The reason he brought the centaur knights was simply because the first territory he attacked was the centaur village.

Loren had previously promised that he would help the centaurs reclaim their village if given the chance.

For the next mission, he decided to go with Loris alone.

Loris is an Earth Knight, and her Peanut Sprite can also unleash Earth Knight-level power.

Loren had just been promoted to a full-fledged wizard, along with Lilia and Fran.

With this kind of strength, what's the point of having knights?
Unless all one hundred knights under Loris's command are high-ranking, there is no need to bring them along.

Loris understood Loren's thoughts.

"A sneak attack, huh? No problem!"

She looked even more excited.

"Count me in!" Hela volunteered to join the fight.

"You want to go too?"

"That's right! Those damned orcs tried to trick me before, I'm going to go with you to get revenge!"

Hela is also very powerful.

She is equivalent to a formal water-based wizard.

"No problem, we can set off now."

Loris immediately prepared her warhorse.

Looking at Hela riding on horseback, Loren was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect you could ride a horse."

"What's so hard about this?"

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, it's just a bit strange, it feels like there's a seahorse following me..."

"...Can you please stop telling such lame jokes?"

"Hela, what is your true form? A fish?" Loren asked curiously.

"Fish!? Where are the fish?" Lilia looked around. "Loren, the little deer is hungry."

“Look, she’s the fish,” Loren said, pointing to Hela.

Lilia turned her head, stared at Hela, and swallowed.

Hela was utterly speechless.

Is this guy really planning to eat her?
As expected of a stupid deer. Hela ultimately did not answer Loren's question.

Loren led his centaur knights through Haikou City and the east coast.

During this time, he obtained a lot of information about the centaur village.

The Elf Queen has already led her troops in an attack, and the Silvermoon Earldom and the Starshine Duchy are also putting pressure on them.

Only one orc centurion remained to defend the centaur village.

Loren could handle the orc squad led by the centurion all by himself!
