Magician Online

Aldric jumped into the hallway, stepping into it without stopping to observe.

He was filled with courage.

Even though the passage was small, he still stepped without looking down at all. Perhaps if he misstepped, he would fall into the lava because each side of the passage was full of lava.

Of course, she was sure it wouldn't hurt her.

The passage turned out to be only about 50 meters long. He arrived in no time, finding a door made of stone and closed.

He vaguely saw the figure of Princess Charlotte inside the room, still in her armor.

"Aldric!" She looked back as she sensed his presence.

Aldric stared at her for a moment before he scanned the room.

He saw a bed made entirely of stone where even the pillows were made of stone.

Not far from the bed, there was a pool of golden lava, seemingly boiling.

Aldric was immediately convinced that this was the monster boss's room.

What was in here?

He looked at Princess Charlotte again as he walked towards her.

She was standing in front of a sizable chest. It was a chest made of stone, emitting a faint spiritual light as if it was a seal.

However, the seal seemed to have been broken as the stone chest was in an open state.

"Uhh..."

Arriving at Princess Charlotte's side, Aldric was finally able to look inside the stone chest.

He was somewhat surprised by the items inside which were indeed quite numerous.

The most numerous were red diamonds of various shapes, piling up to half the stone chest.

On top were several weapons, either swords or knives, even spears.

They were very useful for Senior Magicians.

There were many more objects that he didn't recognize.

The most interesting ones were the two at the top.

They were slightly transparent leaves with faintly flashing lights.

Staring at the two leaves, Aldric felt suddenly relaxed even though he didn't smell any kind of scent or see anything strange.

"I didn't expect there to be two Ancient Realm Leaves here. Since I only need one, so you can take the other one," Princess Charlotte said as she looked at him.

DING!

(You found the Ancient Realm Leaf, it has the function of increasing your body's function by a hundred times when you hold it.)

The game system gave him a notification but the information was not very detailed.

Aldric was not sure what would happen when his body functions increased by a hundred times.

"Your Highness, what are the benefits of this Ancient Realm Leaf?" He had no choice but to ask Princess Charlotte for more detailed information.

"Basically, by making our body functions increase by a hundredfold, it doesn't mean that we will become a hundred times stronger or faster. We are talking about functions. What are the functions of the body? Thinking, digesting food, recuperating, or for Magicians, absorbing spiritual energy. All of those will increase by a hundred times." Princess Charlotte explained quietly.

"For example when you absorb spiritual energy, let's say you can absorb 3 Spiritual Energy from nature in one minute and when you use the Monster Core, you can absorb 300 Spiritual Energy. Then with this leaf, that speed will increase by a hundred times. This means that you will be able to absorb 30,000 Spiritual Energy in one minute.

"Compared to a place like the Sky Door Inn, this leaf is much more useful.

"You also no longer need to train at that inn if you have this leaf because the inn's function has been replaced by this leaf. Since you've been using this leaf, the inn also can't help you anymore as your speed in absorbing spiritual energy is already too far above that of the inn."

"Really!" Aldric was astonished at the princess's explanation.

Recently, he had been having problems with the length of time it took him to gather spiritual energy even by absorbing it from the Monster Core.

Too long a time made him lazy to practice.

However, with this leaf, wouldn't that mean he absorbed 1000 Spiritual Energy in one minute if he only absorbed it from nature?

If he absorbed it from the Monster Core, then he could absorb up to 100,000 Spiritual Energy in a minute.

That's a very high speed.

"It's like that. Only, this leaf is only useful when we are still Senior Magician. Past Senior Magician, this leaf will no longer be useful as our way of training also starts to differ," the princess added.

This was slightly disappointing news, but Aldric didn't think much of it.

After all, it was still a long way before he reached a level above Senior Magician.

"Still, how did these two leaves appear here? Aren't they too precious?" he said with an unconvinced expression.

"They can appear anywhere, rather they are ancient inheritances scattered in many places but we don't know their locations. Most are buried deep underground. These two leaves actually came from the volcanoes outside. Each was found by a Lava Giant. They may not be intelligent, but they can still detect treasures. They kept it, then when the Lava Giant Boss was born, they followed their instinct to give their best treasure to the boss. That's how these two leaves came to be here."

"Ohhhh..." Aldric had no idea there was such a complicated process.

"People have been monitoring the volcanoes and the lava giants. As a result, there was information about these two leaves being in the hands of the Lava Giant Boss. Isn't that right now?" added Princess Charlotte.

Aldric nodded, understanding completely.

"But, you seem to know more than the city lord, Your Highness?" he said.

She knew about the key and that there was a mother of the Lava Giant Boss while the city lord did not.

Aldric couldn't help but be curious about how she knew that.

"This is information gathered by people who actually spy on these volcanoes relentlessly. They have extraordinary sneakiness and they rely on selling information to live and fulfill their need for resources. They had far more information than the city lord. I bought information from them and had them hide it from others. That's why I know more. Of course, to make them hide information from others, I paid many times more." Princess Charlotte did not mind telling Aldric how she knew information that others did not.

Apparently, she paid more so that others could not know.

No wonder she was so aggressive in buying various resources that players sold in this game.

This was apparently so that she could pay the NPCs who basically didn't need money from the earth.

However, the money she used seemed to be too big.
