Chapter 20 He actually did it.
Soon after, Gareth finally woke up, but he was still very weak and needed Luna's support.
Lin Er was in charge of guarding the prisoners, and to prevent any accidents from happening again, he specifically instructed Flora to go ahead and scout.
He had exhausted his spiritual energy in the battle just now, and now he only had less than half of the spiritual energy left in his dantian. If he encountered enemies again, he would have to consider a strategic retreat.
Flora also became extremely vigilant, not overlooking any suspicious locations.
Fortunately, they made it back to Blackrock City without any major incidents along the way.
The prisoner was quite stubborn, so after discussing it, Lin Er and the other two sent him directly to the Blackrock City sheriff.
The Silver Shield family does wield some power in Blackrock City, and Lin Er and his group were quickly given a warm welcome. They believed that after being interrogated by a professional team, they would soon be able to find out his identity.
This way, we can follow the clues, catch the two escaped guys, and completely eliminate the hidden danger.
Luna left early to take Gareth home to recover from his injuries. Lin Er and Flora said goodbye to her and then went to the Adventurers' Guild to submit the bounty.
After selling the spoils, Lin Er received 30 workshop coins from the bounty, while the rest of the money was kept by Flora.
Aside from the magic stone, the bounty this time didn't yield much. Most of the money came from the bandits. It has to be said that murder and arson are still the fastest ways to make money.
For Lin Er, the rewards from this system mission were far more generous than money; he received a bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills and four low-grade spirit stones as he had hoped.
Lin Er wasn't in a hurry to extract it; he planned to wait until someone was available before taking it out.
Just then, Flora suddenly walked over and said gratefully:
"Thank you for your help earlier. I owe you a favor."
Lin Er quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Didn't you help me before?"
Flora was somewhat puzzled. If we're talking about helping, she had only helped Lin Er kill a black bear before, which she didn't think was anything special.
Despite her confusion, she still presented her sword with both hands and said:
Please accept this sword.
Lin Er was slightly taken aback and said, "If you give me the sword, what are you going to do?"
Flora said, "I will buy another suitable sword as soon as possible, so you don't need to worry."
Seeing Flora's enthusiasm, Lin Er accepted the longsword Flora offered after several unsuccessful attempts to refuse.
He drew his sword and looked up. The sword was silver, with a narrow, slender blade that exuded a resilient quality. It was not made of ordinary steel.
Its entire body flowed with silver light, the sharp blade reflected the light, and tiny crescent moon symbols appeared on the blade.
[Superior-grade Moonlight Sword: Secretly crafted by the demonic race, it is incomparably sharp and indestructible. It can automatically heal its wounds under moonlight, approaching the limits of magical treasures, and is suitable for those below the Foundation Establishment stage.]
Lin Er's expression became even stranger upon seeing this notification.
He looked up at Flora and asked, "Is this a sword of your elven race?"
Flora nodded and replied, "This is an elven sword that my mother forged herself. It has magical properties and can automatically heal its wounds under moonlight."
As she said this, she lowered her eyes, and her mood suddenly became somewhat depressed.
Lin Er also noticed this and said, "Isn't this too precious? I'll give it back to you."
Flora quickly stepped back and said, "Please accept this. There's actually one more thing I'd like to ask you."
Lin Er's expression also turned serious, and he asked, "What is it?"
Flora had saved his life before, and now she was giving him such a fine sword. If he could help her, he would definitely not refuse.
Flora replied, "I currently need to kill a Tier 2 peak Tauren chieftain, and I'd like to ask you for help. I'll only take one item; the rest are yours, how about it?"
Peak of Tier 2?
After the previous battles, Lin Er discovered that flying sword techniques were often invincible against those clumsy enemies, and even peak first-tier enemies would find it difficult to withstand them.
However, if the enemy is fast, then it is not so easy to kill. For example, that bandit who was wielding two swords blocked countless flying sword attacks. Anyone else would have died long ago.
Therefore, he had a basic understanding of his own strength. He could handle first-tier enemies, but he would probably be easy prey for peak second-tier enemies.
Linton immediately felt embarrassed and said honestly, "Flora, I'm sorry, I only know how to manipulate objects, and my strength is not enough yet."
Flora quickly said, "You don't need to worry right now. There are still no clues about the Tauren chieftain's hideout. The guild leader told me it will take at least half a year."
If he had six months, he would have reached the third or fourth level of Qi Refining by then.
After considering it, Lin Er also wanted to try the Moonlight Sword and said, "Alright then."
Flora's expression finally relaxed, and she continued to ask:
"Lord Lin'er, may I ask how you achieved your object manipulation technique? I have never seen such a powerful object manipulation technique before."
Lin Er said, "Miss Flora, you can just call me Lin Er, there's no need to be so polite."
Ellie calling him "sir" is fine, since they're about the same age.
Flora is an elf. Lin Er has been living in the tavern for a while and has learned that elves have long lifespans, with the shortest being five or six hundred years and the longest even reaching a thousand years.
Flora may look young, but who knows how old she is? She could probably be her own grandmother.
Flora didn't dwell on it too much and changed her mind, saying, "Okay, Lin'er, your manipulation skills are really amazing, even stronger than those elemental mages in my clan."
Because this is not the art of controlling objects at all.
Seeing that Flora showed no suspicion whatsoever, Lin Er felt a little relieved, knowing he could now use his flying sword technique openly and honestly.
I don't know what kind of magic a protective spell can be disguised as; I'll have to ask indirectly about it.
At this moment, Flora took out a workshop coin, and summoned a powerful whirlwind in her palm. The silver-copper workshop coin flew up with the whirlwind and spun around in the eye of the whirlwind.
She used the flying sword technique she had learned before to control the coin and launch a slash. With a whoosh, the coin flew out of control.
Flora quickly grabbed the coin and said helplessly:
"Coins are too small and too difficult to control, but I can't use wind to lift heavy objects."
What she's doing is merely imitating the art of object manipulation; there's still a long way to go before she can achieve the true effect of object manipulation.
Lin Er also took out a workshop coin and tried to infuse it with spiritual power, but it wouldn't budge no matter what he did.
It seems that he can only control magical artifacts at the moment; he cannot control ordinary items like these.
Just then, Lin Er's gaze fell on the Moonlight Sword in his hand. The system had said it was a magic weapon, so wouldn't it be easy to tell if it was real or fake with a simple test?
Lin Er said, "I'll give it a try."
He directly channeled spiritual energy into the Moonlight Sword.
With a hum, the Moonlight Sword trembled and hovered in mid-air.
Lin Er was stunned.
He actually did it.
