Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

I'm not the type of person who looks for excitement when he's bored."

Xiao shrugged and explained to Crystal.

"Rather than seeking excitement by competing with grown men in battles of wits and courage, I prefer to live a useless life with beautiful girls."

"You bastard, even Aphrodite can identify..."

"Of course it's fake. If I had something like that, I would have sold it for money long ago."

"Alas, I am such a fool to have any positive expectations of you."

Crystal sighed helplessly.

"Aren't you afraid that Kyle will find out the truth? What will you do then?"

Chapter 25 Crystal Valley

"It doesn't matter. The contract has already been signed. And he didn't believe many of my lies."

"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"

"Don't worry, there's a high probability that we'll need to get rid of him later anyway."

"Deal with it..."

Xiao said this word calmly, which made Crystal and the others a little scared.

"So what are you going to do with those 20 million gold coins, if you can get them?"

Crystal wanted to change the subject and deliberately used a slightly joking tone.

"As activity funds, I'll leave Nosti later..."

"Leaving here..."

Christo felt a little melancholy.

Although they had not been together for a long time, she seemed to have gotten used to being with Xiao and the others.

We talked and laughed every day, complained angrily to Xiao, and then had some fights.

Before she knew it, she had begun to enjoy this kind of life.

"If my plan goes smoothly, the Hobbs family won't bother annexing Macaulay County."

"Your plan? If it's you, there will definitely be no problem..."

"You unexpectedly trust me a lot. You clearly tease me every day for no reason."

"That's not because you...are so dishonest all day long."

Crystal explained with a blushing face.

"Night, how did you know what happened to me last night?"

"Get out!"

Seeing Crystal's embarrassed and angry expression, Xiao smiled gently.

"Alas, our engagement is almost over. I'm really reluctant to let it go."

"I hope it's over soon."

Crystal rolled her eyes at Xiao.

"Then I'll just enjoy the rest of my time..."

The girl felt very lonely when she saw Xiao's smile.

“This dungeon is called Crystal Valley because various crystals are always naturally generated here.

From general ornaments to crystals used in precious magical devices, almost everything can be found here."

Crystal explained proudly to Lucy and Rose.

Suddenly she squatted down and looked at an inconspicuous piece of crystal on the ground with some excitement.

"Wow, it's so big! This is called Heti Crystal, an important material for making the cores of many large magical devices."

"Do you mean a large magical device like a magical spaceship?"

Xiao watched with some curiosity as Crystal knocked the crystal off with a small hammer.

“Well, the magic transmission rate of Heti crystal is extremely high, so it is a high-quality material for magic engines and thrusters.

This is an important material for the Empire's large and advanced military spacecraft."

"Well, that sounds quite interesting."

"That Sister Crystal, there seems to be quite a few here..."

Rose pointed to a place not far away, feeling somewhat bewildered.

“This is a bit…”

The scene before her shocked Crystal.

A small cave is filled with large Hetti crystal clusters.

Crystal Valley is not the main production area of ​​Heti crystal.

The last time someone found Heti crystals here was a few years ago.

Crystal had never heard of anyone finding such a large cluster of Heti crystal mines here.

"Is this Heti crystal valuable?"

"That's not nonsense. Just this one piece can be sold for 60,000 to 70,000 gold coins, okay?"

Crystal tossed the crystal in her hand and explained.

"Then let us take them all away."

As Xiao spoke, he released his magic, creating a whirlwind.

After a while, Xiao had collected all the crystals in the cave into his backpack.

"Hey, you guys, don't sell this stuff in large quantities!"

Crystal warned Xiao very seriously.

A few years ago, the adventurers who discovered the Heti Crystal brought it back to Nosti and immediately set off a bloody storm in the city.

In the end, it was Leicester who forcibly collected the Heti crystals and handed them over to the Imperial Military, thus resolving the chaos at the time.

If Xiao sold these crystals, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause.

"Don't worry, I just want to use these crystals for this."

Xiao took out a large piece of crystal and whispered an analysis.

The crystal turned into particles of light and disappeared into the air.

"What are you doing?"

"It's a special ability. As long as there are enough samples to analyze, I can copy these materials."

"Just to ask, how much magic power do you need to copy this crystal?"

Crystal looked at Xiao with disgust.

"About 60,000 to 70,000 manars."

"hehe…"

The average magician has around 300 to 500 Mana.

And Crystal's former mentor, the highest-level seven-star magician in the empire, only had a magic power of 130,000 manars.

But Crystal discovered with great sadness that she no longer seemed to be surprised by Xiao.

"Sister Crystal, what is this? It's so beautiful."

"Ah, this..."

When it was noon, Xiao and his friends found a place to camp and rest.

"It feels so strange. Why do we encounter so many rare crystals along the way?"

Crystal sat down next to Lucy to rest.

She felt very strange.

Half of their morning was spent collecting rare varieties of crystals.

"Generally speaking, it should be difficult to see these high-value crystals in the first three levels of the Crystal Valley."

Crystal looked at Xiao with suspicion.

Not only the crystals, the group also didn't encounter any low-level common monsters.

No matter how she thought about it, Crystal felt it had something to do with Xiao.

"I didn't do anything."

"Does that have anything to do with you?"

"that…"

Xiao thought about it and felt that it might be due to his high luck value.

But he felt that this kind of luck was dispensable.

"Yes, I have."

"Why did you suddenly say you wanted to come here with us?"

Xiao was worried that Chris would ask some difficult questions, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Well, if I were here, Kyle's men wouldn't have attacked you so easily."

Crystal blushed and avoided Xiao's gaze.

"Oh? Is that really all?"

"Yes, I'm sure! What else?"

"Brother Xiao?"

"Okay, I won't bully Chris anymore."

Xiao poked Rose's puffy little face beside her.

Recently, Xiao discovered that this child was becoming more and more jealous, and it was clear that he only regarded himself as an older brother.

"By the way, how much do you know about Crystal Valley?"

Crystal tried to find some serious topics to divert her attention.

"A large dungeon rich in various rare crystals?"

"Uh, it seems like I don't know anything."

"After all, I didn't stay in Nosti for long."

Xiao answered nonchalantly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have expected anything from you."

Crystal sighed helplessly.

“Legend has it that there is a hidden area on the seventeenth floor of the Crystal Valley, and inside it lies a dragon egg.

I suspect this dragon egg is real and about to hatch, causing the strangeness in Crystal Valley."

"Ah, Kyle has already told me about this."

Chapter 26: Expected Attack

"You, you know about this."
