After listening to Elf Queen Bessany's introduction, Raine was momentarily silent.
Although he didn't fully believe it, in his view, Elves as a long-lived race knew secrets far beyond ordinary people, coupled with their nature, proud but despising lies.
Therefore, taking everything into account, the credibility was still very high.
If that's the case...
"So, is Taros III using the ceremony to establish his status as the master of the continent? If a kingdom doesn't comply, will he take the opportunity to start a war?"
"I think that should be one of his goals." Elf Queen Bessany nodded slowly and said.
"But has Taros III found the new Death God Bane? If he launches a full-scale war without acquiring the other's divine position, it shouldn't be very beneficial, right?"
"I think he must be confident in finding the hidden location of Bane's divine body."
"So, Taros III's ultimate goal is to kill the injured and hidden Death God Bane, and thereby gain his divine position to ascend to a True God?" Leonore, standing next to him, voiced the same thought in Raine's mind.
"Hmm, I can't think of a second scenario." Elf Queen Bessany nodded slightly, but then she suddenly smiled, looked at Raine, and said, "Mr. Rein, let's not talk about this for now."
"You've done a great service to my race. Please find time to stay for a while, so we can properly entertain you and your friends."
"This...alright, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Everyone, let's return to the Divine Oracle Woodland first."
....
The next morning.
Divine Oracle Woodland.
Gazing at the fairy-tale-like woodland around him, with colorful butterflies and little elves fluttering about, Raine enjoyed the Elf royal breakfast of morning dew water and flower leaf pastries while chatting with Great Druid Irabien, Leonore, and Lilith.
At this moment, Queen Bessany walked gracefully towards them, followed by two Elf maidservants carrying trays.
Bessany gently smiled at Raine and said, "Mr. Rein, I'm afraid the Elf breakfast might not suit your taste. Apologies."
"Your Majesty is too kind. It's quite unique, with a special flavor, and I really like it," Raine said, standing up.
Bessany nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Rein, to thank you for helping my race defeat the 'King of Poison Vines' Slax, I have prepared two gifts to express my gratitude."
"This is a Life Fruit; consuming it can enhance a person's Life Energy level." Bessany pointed to the first tray, which held a fruit the size of a grapefruit, emitting an almost substantial green glow.
"These are three Divine Branches, all blessed by my Lord, with special effects of healing body injuries."
Raine looked in the direction Bessany indicated and immediately saw three approximately one-meter-long, green branches with budding leaves on the second tray.
The green branches emitted a rich green Spell Glow, clearly not ordinary items.
As for the blessings, Raine understood Bessany was referring to the blessings of the Elf God Korilong.
Regarding the Life Fruit...
Raine sensed a familiar taste, seemingly related to the Root of Life.
"The Life Fruit? And the Root of Life is..." Raine couldn't help but glance at Elf Queen Bessany and ask.
"Has Mr. Rein consumed the Root of Life?"
"The Root of Life is actually the activated root system of the Mother Tree. Every year, we take out ten roots to trade with various kingdoms and forces, but we haven't traded Life Fruit externally for over a hundred years."
"Each Life Fruit comes from the Mother Tree, but it takes several years to produce one, and for us Elves, it has a very special function."
At this moment, Great Druid Irabien, seemingly surprised by his queen's generosity, added.
"However, Mr. Rein, because the Life Fruit's Life Energy is too rich, it needs to be consumed quickly once picked from the Mother Tree. It's not as easy to preserve as the Root of Life."
"I see. Then I'll take it now." Raine nodded with a smile.
....
Half a day later.
In a quiet independent library, Raine slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body.
[Power: 29 (+24)]
[Agility: 29 (+20)]
[Constitution: 37 (+22)]
[Intelligence: 36 (+10)]
[Perception: 27 (+10)]
[Charm: 26 (+10)]
...
"Power and Intelligence both increased by 2 points, but Agility, Perception, and Charm increased by 7 points each!"
"The most exaggerated is Constitution, which increased by a full 9 points!"
Raine's eyes widened slightly, staring in astonishment at the attribute panel in front of him.
No wonder, just now, he felt as if he had been reborn.
"This effect indeed far surpasses the Root of Life."
Like the Root of Life he consumed before, the Life Fruit's effect also enhanced the consumer's Life Energy level, but the effect was multiplied several times over.
Raine never expected that for defeating the 'King of Poison Vines' Slax, the Elf Race would reward him with such precious treasures.
It was indeed an unexpected gain.
"Now, with his body attributes combined with the Multi-colored Giant Dragon Bloodline, he should have fully stepped into the realm of a Legendary High-tier Warrior. If he can fuse with the Elder Dragon tier Multi-colored Giant Dragon Bloodline, he might directly reach the Legendary Peak level!"
"However, besides the Elder Black Dragon Bloodline, what else can further enhance his own strength?"
Although his strength had just increased dramatically, Raine hadn't forgotten that the Urein Empire, the continent's top power, was about to become a war machine under the ambitious Taros III.
