Chapter 100: The Elf Queen's Fourth Husband Became a Treasure Chest
Chapter 100: The Elf Queen's Fourth Husband Became a Treasure Chest
"Such a large dragon corpse? Where did it come from?"
Qin MuYe looked at the green dragon corpse, which might also be an Emerald Dragon, lying in the material warehouse. The color was the same, regardless of the name.
This dragon corpse was much larger than the one he had bought from the trading post, and it was quite a sight.
"Master, it's a bounty. After killing it, we obtained a Gold-Level Hero Treasure Chest. Should we open it now?" Black Hand said respectfully.
"Open it. Remember to cast a Luck Spell on yourself. By the way, how's the acquisition of Garden Gnomes going?" Mentioning luck, Qin MuYe couldn't help but think of the Garden Gnomes, as the spirits were derived from them.
At present, all the spirits' skills could be improved, except for the Garden Luck skill, which had never changed. To enhance it, they needed a sample.
"Garden Gnomes are the favorites of the Elf Goddess, and with their innate luck, they are not easy to catch. Otherwise, the spirits wouldn't have been phased out by mages as a beast-type humanoid." Black Hand's meaning was clear: they were unable to purchase them.
The spirits were indeed a phased-out beast-type humanoid, but recently, due to Qin MuYe, many mages had restarted their magical modifications of the spirits. However, the Elf Goddess had caught wind of this and tightened her protection of the Garden Gnomes, making them even harder to acquire.
Qin MuYe felt a bit disappointed and then asked, "Is there any way to get the Elf Clan to give us a Garden Gnome unit building?"
"It was possible in the past, but it might be difficult now." Black Hand said.
"Why? What's different now? Just because I didn't take the Elf Clan's Princess as a disciple, they hold a grudge against me?" Qin MuYe was speechless. It couldn't be that petty.
"It's not that reason. The Emerald Dragon is the current husband of the Elf Queen."
The truth Black Hand revealed shocked Qin MuYe.
Qin MuYe carefully examined the Emerald Dragon's size, and some strange thoughts popped into his head.
"This doesn't seem to match well."
Firstly, magical creatures in this world did not have the ability to transform, unless they were like Moriel, who drank the dragon blood from a bottle and relied on special powers to change species, allowing them to freely transform between human and dragon forms. Otherwise, dragons were just dragons.
As a 5th-tier creature, they didn't have the ability to change form, not even reaching the 6th-tier divine level, where such abilities might exist. Only the Divine Seed, a special life form born from the Great Mage, the Satyr God, and an unknown ancient flesh god, had the ability to mimic and change its form. Perhaps some treasures, skills, or talents could achieve this, but the Emerald Dragon definitely did not have such an ability.
However, Qin MuYe quickly realized that, aside from issues of aesthetics, interests, morals, and species incompatibility, it was possible that it was a Platonic love. The elves, after all, were a magic race of elemental-type beings, naturally born rather than through sexual reproduction, lacking the necessary reproductive organs.
Don't ask how Qin MuYe knew this; while he hadn't dissected an elf, he had read about it in books.
So, there was no sexual aspect to their relationship. The Elf Queen wasn't with the Emerald Dragon because of his size or prowess.
But this made the situation even more complicated, as it would likely turn into a deep-seated grudge.
"Wait, you mean the current husband? Does the Elf Queen have previous husbands?" Qin MuYe suddenly realized this.
"Yes, Master. The Elf Queen has had three previous husbands. The first was a human who died of old age. The second was an orc who was killed by someone. The third was special, a lich, and they broke up due to differing ideologies, leading to the current one." Black Hand explained.
"???"
He felt that the Elf Queen's tastes seemed to be getting more and more adventurous. A human was understandable, as they were similar to elves. An orc was also understandable. However, a lich was a bit off, and now she was with an Emerald Dragon.
"Alright, do you have a plan for the consequences?" Qin MuYe wasn't too worried. The deed was done, and it was too late to change anything. In the worst case, he could just throw a Crimson Invasion at the Elf Capital; it wasn't a big deal.
"Master, rest assured. There won't be any further consequences. At most, the Elf Queen will hate us, but she won't take action against us. After all, she has to consider the entire Elf Clan, not just personal desires."
"At most, she might make things difficult for us, but with the initiative in our hands, she won't be able to do much."
Black Hand briefly analyzed the situation for Qin MuYe, summarizing that their powerful force and ruthless actions made the Elf Queen hesitant to use the Elf Clan's power to retaliate.
The feeling of overwhelming power was quite satisfying for Qin MuYe. Although such actions might easily offend people, given his current strength, he would inevitably offend someone no matter what he did. It was better to be more ruthless, ensuring that no one dared to seek revenge.
Development inevitably obstructs some people.
"Alright, what did the treasure chest yield?" Qin MuYe didn't dwell on the matter for too long. Instead, he was more concerned about the contents of the treasure chest Black Hand had opened. He hoped it wouldn't be a consolation prize just because of its name.
"Good news, a Random Dungeon Scroll, which seems to be different from the one you used last time."
【Random Dungeon Scroll (Epic)】
【Usage: Enter a random type of dungeon. Complete the quest to receive a reward. Duration: 24 hours】
"Minor issue, as long as it's not a story-driven dungeon, it's manageable." Qin MuYe detested story-driven dungeons. With his current personality, he wouldn't follow the plot obediently; he would only perform some bizarre operations.
"How is my equipment preparation coming along? Since I'm going out, even though I have the Magic Source as a guarantee, it's better to be well-equipped." Qin MuYe knew that if he was going out, he needed to be well-prepared.
"It's all ready. We commissioned the elves, dwarves, and satyrs to forge a mage set for you, all composed of high-grade treasures. They should have already been delivered."
Black Hand spoke and instructed the Gnomes on duty outside to fetch the items.
Soon, six treasures were brought in.
【Crimson Crown】
【Rank: High】 【Attributes】
【Strength +50】
【Magic +500】
【Daily Magic Recovery +10%】

【Four-Piece Set: Gain a Magic Shield (60% of Magic)】
【Six-Piece Set: Gain a Magic Shield (90% of Magic)】
Most of the attributes added were magic, strength, and defense, with the set bonuses focusing on providing magic shields. The idea was to ensure Qin MuYe could withstand damage. If he could cast spells, that would be ideal. If the situation became dire, he could find a corner to hide in, relying on the multiple layers of magic shields to stay alive while his Gnomes did the fighting.
Thus, strength was the least increased attribute, with most of the enhancements focusing on defense and magic. The Crimson Boots were the most practical, making Qin MuYe run faster.
In reality, the six-piece set was designed to provide three layers of magic shields. The core of the entire set was these three layers of magic shields. As long as the shields didn't break, Qin MuYe wouldn't take any damage. His magic capacity was already quite high thanks to the Magic Source.
"Very nice. How are the blacksmiths, tailors, and other life skill professions in our territory progressing? I hope to wear high-grade treasures produced by our own territory in the future." After equipping the six high-grade treasures, Qin MuYe asked.
"There's already progress. With the modern materials science and metallurgy knowledge you brought back from Wen Country, the standardized equipment of all the Gnomes in the territory will soon be updated." Black Hand was well-informed about these matters, as he led the entire territory's reforms.
