028 Envy to the Point of Plasmolysis

The battle ended quickly.

In the extremely fast killing storm, in the end, not even a single monster could survive, and all of them turned into a mass of broken limbs, allowing Li Ge to return victorious.

"What's wrong?"

Li Ge came back with a rapier in hand, only to see Lefiya standing there with a dull expression on her face, and she couldn't help but become confused.

"No, it's nothing!"

Lefiya reacted, shaking her head and looking at Li Ge hesitantly.

"Just say whatever you want."

Li Ge saw that Lefiya was hesitant to speak, so he said this.

Lefia hesitated, and after a while she said, "Do Mr. Rige and Miss Ais know each other?"

Obviously, Lefiya had some doubts about the relationship between Li Ge and Ais after seeing Li Ge's fighting style that was almost the same as Ais's.

She even remembered that not long ago, when she and others returned from the expedition, Ais seemed to have noticed the newly joined Li Ge and was paying close attention to him.

This made the elf girl inevitably think too much, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Ge also changed.

In response, Li Ge just raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Are you very concerned about my relationship with Miss Ais?"

At these words, Lefiya nodded without hesitation at first, and then shook her head hurriedly.

"I-I'm just a little weird!"

Lefiya blushed inexplicably and looked guilty.

Seeing this, Li Ge smiled and answered Lefiya's question.

"I asked Miss Ais for magic and learned part of her sword-wielding skills by chance. Other than that, there is nothing else to do with it."

Li Ge's explanation not only did not make Lefiya feel relieved, but actually made her stunned.

"Ask for magic?"

Lefia looked confused.

"That's right." Li Ge nodded and said: "I have a magic, the nature of which is roughly the same as your [Elf Ring]."

"Ah." Lefiya understood instantly.

But precisely because she understood, Lefia was even more surprised.

"Does Mr. Rigg have the same magic as me?"

Lefia was extremely surprised and surprised.

"almost."

Li Ge didn't say much and just agreed with Lefiya.

"So, Mr. Rigg has learned Miss Ace's magic?"

Lefia murmured, and the first thought in her heart was not to get close to and change Lige, who had the same type of magic, but an instinctive cry.

Damn, I’m so envious!

Lefiya suddenly looked at Rige with a look of envy that seemed to separate her from the wall.

"Why isn't Miss Ais an elf?"

Lefiya, who could only learn magic that was limited to her own race, could not help but puff up her cheeks.

"Okay, let's move on."

Li Ge couldn't help but laugh dryly, quickly changed the topic, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Lefiya quickly stopped Lige and said, "The magic stone hasn't been confiscated yet!"

With that said, Lefiya trotted up to the group of war shadows being attacked by Li Ge, took out the knife she carried with her, and dug out a small stone crystal that was in the chest of the war shadow.

It was a magic stone, a magic crystal that could be obtained from monsters in the dungeon.

It can be used to make many incredible magic stone products. For example, the magic stone lamps placed on the fountain and magic stone lampposts in the atrium of the Twilight Pavilion are made of this magic stone.

Because it sits in the secret realm of the dungeon, the labyrinth city Orario has a near monopoly on this resource. The guild that manages the city is responsible for purchasing it, and then processing it into magic stone products and transporting them to other countries outside the city. In order to obtain huge profits, adventurers will actively explore dungeons and use the magic stones obtained from monsters to exchange for money from the guild.

It is said that the more powerful the monster, the larger and more valuable the magic stone on its body is. For example, among the trophies brought back from the ultra-deep layers by the Loki Familia during their last expedition, there is a larger one than what Lefia has dug out now. Magic stones that are worth dozens of times, each piece can be sold for tens of thousands of mana or even hundreds of thousands of mana.

Compared with that, Lefia's magic stone obtained from the 6th floor would probably be too expensive to sell for a thousand mana.

However, no matter how little money is, Lefiya actively digs out the magic stones, causing the monster corpses that have lost the magic stones (core) to rapidly lose their pigment and turn into dust.

This is the final fate of a monster that loses its magic stone (core). Not even its body can be left behind, as if it never existed in the first place. Occasionally, some particularly developed parts can be left behind.

These parts are called dropped props, which can be used as materials for making weapons, armor, and elixirs. They can also be taken to the guild to exchange for money, or sold to some merchants in need.

In addition to magic stones and dropped props, there are also some special minerals, plants, natural products and other resources with special functions in the dungeon. These are the trophies and wealth that adventurers who enter the dungeon seek, especially some of them. Especially precious and rare things can be sold for a sky-high price on the ground, making people rich overnight.

It can be said that most adventurers get into dungeons for this purpose, so that they can get rich overnight. Exploration-type clans like the Loki clan also regard these resources as an important source of funds for operations.

The dungeon is such an incredible place. It is both a devil's cave and a treasure place.

As long as you can make some fame here and get some treasures, it will spread all over the world in an instant, making people gain both fame and wealth.

Seeing Lefiya collecting the magic stones and throwing them into the large backpack on her back, Li Ge touched his nose.

He didn't dare to tell Lefiya that he had never collected any magic stones or dropped items in the dungeon before.

"Can I say I completely forgot about it?"

A certain young master who couldn't wait to kill people as soon as he got into the dungeon, and just kept rushing down, has not developed this habit of "diligence and frugality" at all.

Now, seeing Lefia collecting the magic stones so actively, with the big backpack dangling behind her back, Li Ge couldn't help but say something.

"How about I carry the backpack?"

Hearing this, Lefia shook her head and refused without hesitation.

"Mr. Li Ge is a vanguard, and even takes on the role of central defender. His duty is to charge into the battle and kill the enemy quickly. How can he fight with such a big backpack?" Lefiya said seriously: "In the dungeon, If there is no professional supporter accompanying you, it is common for the defender who does not need to move much to serve as the supporter, and Mr. Rieger can just be on guard."

The supporters Lefia refers to are people who specialize in recovering and preserving magic stones and dropped items.

Such people are usually weak non-combatants. Their purpose of existence is to free the hands and bodies of adventurers and prevent them from carrying heavy backpacks or props to fight.

There are also some weak people in Orario who work as supporters and are hired by adventurers. However, in the large family members who generally have relatively strong combat capabilities, juniors or defenders with lower levels usually act as temporary support. By.

Lefia is the defender, so she has no intention of giving up the support job to Rige.

"But your level is higher than mine."

Rieger tentatively emphasized this point.

"But I don't need to charge into battle. It doesn't matter even if I'm carrying a backpack." Lefia said a little stubbornly: "On the contrary, an avant-garde like Mr. Rige must not add too much weight to his body. Please don't follow me again." Robbed."

As for whether it was appropriate for a little girl to carry such a big backpack, Lefiya didn't even mention it.

Even though she is a pure defender mage, she does not have much close combat ability and her physical fitness is not very high, but Lefiya is a level 3 adventurer after all, and carrying a backpack is more than enough.

"Fine."

Seeing Lefiya's uncompromising look, Li Ge could only give up.

If it weren't for the difficulty of explaining, Li Ge would have suggested putting the backpack in the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

With the existence of storage space, Li Ge doesn't need to worry about the problem of carrying weight at all.

It's a pity that this matter cannot be discussed, and Li Ge can only watch Lefiya retrieving the magic stones and continue to work with a big backpack on her back.

"alright."

After a while, Lefia ran back.

"Then let's go."

Li Ge turned around and left.

"Wait, wait for me!"

Lefia could only catch up quickly, putting aside the other question in her mind.

But this question has been echoing in Lefia's heart all day long.

"Obviously he is a newcomer who has just received the favor. Why is Mr. Rige so powerful?"

Looking at the figure of Li Ge sprinting ahead and rushing into the group of monsters, this question has not disappeared for a long time and has been echoing in Lefiya's heart.

Just when Li Ge and Lefiya formed a team to fight together and went downstairs, they didn't know that as soon as they left, something abnormal happened in the place where they were attacking the war shadows.

"Paji"

It started with a slight crackling sound.

On the wall of the maze, a crack appeared without any warning, and a thin sheen penetrated from the inside.

"Dong dong"

A heartbeat seemed to appear in it, getting louder and louder.

This scene is not that rare in the dungeon.

Anyone who is an adventurer has seen this phenomenon more or less.

Because this is the phenomenon where monsters are about to be born.

Yes, that's how monsters in dungeons are born.

They are not the life that existed in the underground city from the beginning, but the species that were bred from the underground city and hatched from the underground city.

Just like a bird breaking out of its shell, monsters will emerge from the walls of the maze every once in a while, causing the monsters in the dungeon to never be killed and their number to never decrease.

This is also why the types of monsters that appear on each floor are usually fixed.

Simply because they are races born from different floors. If there is no accident, they will only appear where they were born and will not go to other floors.

Of course, this is only the case when there are no accidents.

There are always exceptions.

Now, an exception has been bred in this sixth layer.

This is what is called an abnormal situation.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah"

With a heart-breaking cracking sound, the walls of the maze cracked inch by inch, allowing a huge figure to emerge from it.

Not long after, a deafening roar appeared on this floor, causing the maze to tremble slightly, as if blessing its birth.
