Chapter 101: At the End of Adventure

  What is meant by "a successful conclusion of an adventure" is, in the eyes of most people, nothing more than the four words "enjoying the fruits".

  Adventuring, adventuring, why adventure if not for the moment of finally opening the treasure chest or diving into a vault of gold coins? If there's no payoff, wouldn't all the killing and hardship along the way be in vain?

  However, Medici believed that this time he had submitted a satisfactory answer sheet. Even if the grader sitting opposite him was the highly discerning Fiona Hamilton and the extremely picky Alice Ottobre.

  Not to mention the many parts of rare materials that have already become extinct, powerful weapons and armor, just the skill books, magic books, various formulas and crafting methods, these legacies themselves are worth a fortune, and it is exactly what the Eagle Team needs most at this time.

  The cornerstone of the Eagle's Guild system is the exchange of contribution points, and for an exchange to take place, there must be items that are sufficiently attractive. Otherwise, adventurers would not come at all.

  It's precisely because of this that Fiona initially threw out a large number of precious equipment and items, putting them on the exchange list to make people drool, which is also a kind of motivation and temptation. However, even if it's the accumulated wealth of aristocrats over hundreds of years, it's still water without a source, wood without roots; exchanging one item means losing one item.

  What will Eagle's Nest use to attract people when all the exchanges are completed?

  And now, the inheritance of the Elf King's Court will thoroughly resolve this burning urgency.

  Like those skill books and magic books, they are the dream of adventurers and even nobles. As long as they can learn higher-level skills and magic, their combat power will be immediately increased by several levels. Moreover, this is a completely personal power, not relying on external help, so it is the most popular.

  These skill books and magic books can be exchanged for a high price. When the time comes to exchange them, it's enough to send out just one copy, and various methods of prohibiting external transmission have already been perfected and can be applied directly.

  In this way, the exchange in this aspect can almost be said to be a cost-free business.

  Furthermore, the existence of various alchemy formulas, medicine formulas, enchanting formulas and weapon/armor design diagrams has instantly revitalized the entire exchange mechanism, greatly increasing its efficiency.

  Fina's quests are mostly targeting monsters, mainly to cope with the phenomenon of monster mutations after the Gran Forest fire. The adventurers made a contribution by striking everywhere, and as a result, the territory of the Aslex family was peaceful, without chaos like other areas.

  However, the materials from the monsters that adventurers brought back had a low utilization rate and were mainly used as proof of killing.

  Now that we have the formula and design drawings, all the materials produced by the monster can be utilized. The formulas in the royal court are varied and some have been lost for a long time. Even the methods of handling the materials on the body of the Gu insect have been found! Not only are there methods for handling them, but also methods for manufacturing high-end weapons and medicines!

  For example, the design drawings of powerful weapons such as "Lingui Bone Blade" are detailed in the Wangting tradition. The main materials are the scales and reverse thorns on the surface of Lingui insects.

  In this way, monsters that were considered "dangerous but worthless" by all adventurers can instantly become valuable.

  If skills and magic can make Eagle's Nest a high-priced business with zero capital, then formulas and design drawings are the creative and productive parts added on top of simple usage.

  The Eagle Corps issues tasks and obtains various materials from adventurers while giving contribution points.

  Adventurers complete quests and provide various materials for the Hawk's Team, earning contribution points in exchange for items and weapons crafted by the Hawk's Team using those materials.

  A complete circular linked list.

  Of course, whether it's high-end medicine, powerful weapons, or exciting enchantments, all of these require skilled and even creative people to make.

  Designs and formulas are lifeless things until agile hands bring their value into being.

  But for Midee, this was never a problem——

  Aren't there still craftsmen like Norton?

  These adventurers, who were mainly engaged in production, had explored various industries ahead of others and had already become skilled craftsmen. From the memories of their previous life, it can be seen that many of them will continue to gain insight and advance until they become authorities and masters in a certain field.

  With these people in place, along with Wang Tong's formula and rare materials, plus the adventurers' steady supply, it should make the Eagle Team's exchange list incredibly enticing.

  Moreover, judging from the reactions of people like Alice and Norton, the Fog Witch also has a fairly high evaluation of these people's abilities. In this way, the establishment of the Magic Laboratory will also be put on the agenda.

  In no time, it won't just be about weapon equipment, I'm afraid the development of new skills and new magic will also become a reality soon.

  If the Eagle Squad was just a beautiful sight at first, but actually like a shaky aerial pavilion, then at this time, after digesting the inheritance of the Elf King's Court, absorbing the master craftsmen such as Norton, the tactical expert Mountain Wolf and the adventure-savvy Morning Star, it has truly moved towards maturity and stability.

  Perhaps for the time being, it may not be comparable to the truly noble and aristocratic families, but this pattern of constantly injecting fresh blood and creating new things will surely surpass the nobility with ease over time.

  After all, the nobles only know how to accumulate and wait, while the Eagle Squad is a different story every day.

  It can be said that this adventure was a complete success.

  "...But compared to this thing, the Elven Kingdom's succession is nothing." Alice said with a sigh.

  "Yes, this thing is a bit over the top." Fiona also let out a rare deep sigh.

  The two girls said, their eyes falling on the small sealed bag on the table at the same time.

  In the bag were seeds of Yggdrasil's branch, the Tree of Life.

  Sheji Sacred Objects

  Having it means having the qualification to establish a country.

  At this moment, Middy, Feena and Alice are sitting in Alice's bedroom. The surroundings have been laid out with layers of protective magic arrays, plus the original ones, making this room the most difficult place to break into in the entire Eagle's Nest, and it can even be said that it is the most impenetrable room in the entire territory of Aslex.

  It was only in such a place, with only three people present, that Mide dared to take out the seed of the Tree of Life and reveal the greatest secret of this adventure.

  After witnessing the seed with nine orifices and slight breathing movements, the two girls fell directly into silence.

  On the table, a freshly brewed Earl Grey tea was constantly emitting misty steam, but no one touched it.

  No one spoke, only the girls' urgent breathing and the faint rubbing sound of the clock's gear turning echoed in the room.

  After a long time, a voice finally broke the silence.

  "Ah...my mind is a complete blank..." Alice sighed again.

  "Ah... me too..." Fiona muttered, following up with another sentence.

  "Ah... I feel so happy..."

  "Ah... me too..."

  Two girls looked at me, I looked at them, and then we all gazed at Midy, making meaningless sighs, lost in a sea of emptiness.

  Their faces wore an expression of utter bewilderment, the kind that only appears on people who have been hit in the forehead by a heavy gold brick or a package of diamonds while walking down the street.

  To put it simply, it's an idiotic expression.

  One is the young lady of the Hamilton family, who has seen and played with countless rare treasures since childhood. One is a mysterious witch who controls the five major elemental tribes, living in an infinitely luxurious tree house filled with countless treasures.

  But at this moment, these two people actually showed a greedy and foolish expression, if others saw it, they would definitely find it very funny.

  However, Mei Di couldn't laugh.

  Because it was an expression he had never seen on Fina and Alice's faces in twenty years between the previous life.

  So they also make this kind of expression.

  Midi thought, with a faint pain and bitterness in her heart.

  In the previous life, Fiona was always confident, Alice was always cold-blooded. Facing any difficulties, both the Bullet Queen and the Fog Witch would never back down. Middy originally thought that was the real them.

  But in this life, as the relationship deepened, Mide discovered that Phina and Eris also had a very feminine side, which could even be said to be very youthful and girly. In this life, even the position of leader of the Falcon Squad seemed not to be of much concern to Phina, with the red-haired girl repeatedly showing thoughts of pushing Mide into the position.

  It turned out that they were not really strong in their previous life, but had no choice but to be strong.

  Because of their own weakness and foolishness, these two people can only grit their teeth, take on the heavy burden, assume responsibility, face various challenges in the forefront, until they die for themselves in the end.

  How foolish I am, how much happiness have I let them miss?

  It's just that I've taken advantage of the convenience and benefits of rebirth. Does this self of mine really have the qualifications to protect them?

  "Medi, are you alright?" Fina's expression suddenly turned somewhat serious.

  At the same time, Alice's gaze, which had always been icy cold, now held a hint of concern and unease.

  "Huh?" Medici only then realized that his thoughts had unknowingly appeared on his face. He subconsciously reached out to wipe it, and found that the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

  I'm actually crying?

  For a moment, Mi Di didn't know how to explain it either. Or rather, this kind of loss of composure was something that couldn't be explained in the first place. He could only remain silent and then revealed an awkward smile.

  Fiona and Alice exchanged a swift glance.

  The thoughts of the girls are always extremely sensitive, just like the dandelion seeds that float with the wind. With every breeze, they sense it, let alone Midie's scorching emotions after her rebirth. During the aristocratic war, both of them had already sensed something beforehand - Midie seemed to be hiding something, and those things seemed to be related to them as well.

  Now, when it's supposed to be the most relaxing time for chatting and laughing, even being a bit silly, Midy is acting so abnormally, which further confirms the girls' speculation.

  Just looking at that awkward, cramped and slightly bitter smile. The girls now simply don't have the mind to dig deep, just thinking hard about how to comfort Middy a little.

  After all, there's still plenty of time left.

  The girls believe that as long as they wait at the end of their adventure, one day all the mysteries will be revealed.
