Chapter 1455 Acquiring Magic Power, Past Events of Night Valley
"What a powerful heart. It seems that the elf in front of me... if we set aside his magical skills and only look at his physical attributes, he is definitely not a 'weakling'. He may even be at the average level of the Black Swamp World."
Lin Yu could sense that, compared to the humans of Night Valley, the elves' physical structure was, in some ways, closer to that of the dark race... At least in Medalo's body, "magic" was completely intertwined with his flesh and blood, and their breathing and natural life activities were imbued with the aura of "magic".
Just like this slowly beating heart, with each heavy beat it pumps out not only the blood surging throughout the body, but also a "magic flow" refined by his heart.
The magical energy also circulated within the elf's body, forming a natural magical circuit.
Although not purely magical beings, elves, as spellcasters, do indeed have a "natural advantage" over "humans".
Their physical strength is not like that of most races in the Black Swamp Realm, which is purely due to physical advantages, but rather because their bodies are constantly protected by magic.
Lin Yu wasn't surprised at all that a race like this had once gained an absolute ecological advantage in Night Valley, to the point that it developed a kind of racist ideology, and even eventually the entire race was researching how to turn all other intelligent races into "slaves".
If such a race didn't have these arrogant actions, Lin Yu would feel something was wrong.
However, these elves have now clearly had their edges smoothed out by the "Eternal Cage".
After the heavy heartbeats stopped, Medalo even took the initiative to speak.
"This is one complete heartbeat of mine."
Lin Yu nodded.
“I felt it… after about three hundred heartbeats, it will enter ‘night,’ and it doesn’t seem to be too long.”
Looking at Medalo's humble demeanor, he felt a pang of emotion.
In a sense, the god of fairness and judgment really did the right thing by locking up these pointy-eared creatures.
Although Lin Yu didn't know what kind of people the elves were back in the Night Valley Realm, he didn't think that these pointy-eared people would have been so humble and gentle back then, since they were capable of wiping out the intelligence of all other races and the entire race was almost single-minded in carrying it out.
The effect of this transformation is truly remarkable.
"Would you like anything to eat?"
Lin Yu took the initiative to ask.
Medalo paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a way to get food here?"
“What’s so difficult about that?” Lin Yu said, flipping his hand to take out the [Reusable Delicious Paper]. “Take it. I don’t know your elven diet, and I’m too lazy to find out, but this will give you what you want.”
Lin Yu said lightly.
Medalo was somewhat apprehensive: "This...you..."
“This is one of the benefits of ‘loyalty to me’,” Lin Yu whispered. “I am never harsh on my followers.”
As he spoke, Medalo nodded slightly, and the delicious paper in his hand turned into specks of light, then returned to Lin Yu's [Item Space].
And above the sky...
A golden, raspberry-like fruit appeared out of nowhere and fell into Medalo's hand.
Medalo caught the fruit, almost in a daze.
"The power of yet another 'god'..."
He murmured as he raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Lin Yu: "You... what kind of being are you?"
Clearly, this elven sage Medalor was a bit too "discerning".
Even without the "power of authority," he could keenly sense that this thing could be traced back to another powerful god.
This is also Lin Yu’s purpose.
He calmly took out the reusable delicious paper again and used it once more. A delicate pastry, like a snowball, fell from the sky.
He took a bite, the sweet and glutinous texture stimulating his taste buds, and Lin Yu spoke calmly.
“I told you before that I am a rather special ‘seeker of the Way’.”
As Lin Yu spoke, he slowly chewed the snowball and looked at the golden berry in Medalo's hand.
"What is this fruit in your hand? I've never seen it before, not even when I was in Night Valley Realm."
Medalo began, “This is called ‘Falcon,’ a fruit produced in the sacred land of the elves, and is also the daily food of most elves—of course, the Falcon fruits they usually eat are mostly white, pale yellow, or with a little bit of pale gold.”
"It is rare to see such pure golden phlowa fruit - because the color of phlowa fruit evolves from white to gold over time, but it often falls off the tree automatically before it reaches 'gold'."
“It’s normal that you haven’t seen it before, because I only saw this fruit when I was a child,” Medalo said softly, looking at the fruit in his hand. “Because after I grew up, the phalloides had already disappeared…”
"This fruit has the effect of increasing magic power after consumption, so its place of origin was deliberately destroyed by other races."
"Therefore... only a 'miracle' could bring it back to life, let alone this golden Falowa fruit."
Lin Yu looked at the golden, palm-sized raspberry, then raised an eyebrow.
"Really? That makes me curious about what it tastes like."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Medalo immediately handed over the Faloka fruit.
"You may try some if you wish."
Lin Yu shook his head: "You don't need to give me all of it. After all, this is a benefit I'm giving you."
As he spoke, Lin Yu took out the [Limit-Breaking Jade Chef's Knife] and gently sliced off a piece of the Falowa Fruit.
Medalo stared intently at the [Limit-Breaking Jade Chef's Knife] in Lin Yu's hand, because the Falowa Fruit was held in his hands. So when Lin Yu used the knife to cut the fruit, Medalo barely dared to breathe.
He watched the kitchen knife cut open the faloupe, watched Lin Yu use the tip of the knife to pick up the pulp and put it in his mouth, without saying a word.
Until Lin Yu offered his praise.
"It really is...delicious."
The rich aroma of the golden phlox completely surpassed the pastries he had just tasted. It had a crisp texture and offered other layers of enjoyment beyond just the taste—Lin Yu truly felt its effect of increasing magic power.
Although Lin Yu was almost completely unfamiliar with the magic of the Night Valley Realm, after eating this small piece of fruit, his body suddenly gained some magical power that could roughly support about three relatively simple first-level spells.
This sense of satisfaction from naturally gaining "power" can also bring immense pleasure.
Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Medalo smiled and said, "It's wonderful that you can appreciate our elven people's traditional cuisine."
He looked at the golden berry in his hand, missing a piece, put it whole into his mouth and swallowed it, swallowing the words that almost escaped his lips.
After all, as a fruit rich in magical power, the Pharvafruit cannot be physically destroyed once it has grown.
It is theoretically impossible to cut—any attempt to cut it will cause the phalloides to "dissipate its magic" and disappear completely, leaving only some empty, shriveled residue.
However, the phalocarpa fruit in his hand was still plump, and after he swallowed it now, it was no different from the memory of eating it when he was a child.
“This ‘seeker of the Way’ in front of me is very, very strange.”
Medalo thought this very clearly in his mind.
Although he had previously guessed that the other party might be a high-ranking being such as a chosen one, a demigod, or even an incarnation of a "god," but now...
Medalo felt that these were perhaps insufficient to describe how outrageous he was.
He genuinely believed that such a wondrous being could absolutely liberate his race from this "eternal cage" and grant them true freedom.
At this moment, Lin Yu, who had already digested the enhancement brought by the Falowa Fruit, spoke again.
"Alright, Medalo... there's still plenty of time, but I don't intend to waste it."
"So, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about the Night Valley Realm in the past—how it functioned before the elves came here, and even before you made that sinful decision?"
"Exploring the hidden 'past' of a world is one of the few things that I can still find somewhat interesting."
Lin Yu spoke.
He had made up his mind that since the "Elves" were so powerful, he might impersonate a real "Elf" expert when he went to Night Valley Realm next time, just like he impersonated "Rakshasa" in Black Swamp Realm, in order to gain some new buffs.
Therefore, he also needed some information about that era... After all, although the Night Valley Realm also had a phenomenon of almost no record of civilization, it was not as wild and chaotic as the Black Swamp Realm, and did not give Lin Yu much room for free play. Therefore, Lin Yu still needed to do his homework in advance to avoid making any low-level mistakes in his future performance.
This Medalo in front of me is clearly a good person to get to know!
Although Shen Bingmiao provided comprehensive information about the Night Valley Realm, the information about the distant past was equally vague.
Therefore, even if it wasn't for the purpose of better playing the elf at some point in the future, but simply to learn more about the Night Valley Realm information that Shen Bingmiao lacked, Lin Yu wanted to talk to Medalo more about this.
after all……
The capture of the elves in the "Eternal Cage" to atone for their sins and the emergence of the Abyss seem to have occurred around the same time.
The years should be at least not far apart.
Lin Yu needs to determine if there might be any connection between these things.
Especially her own older sister, who seems to have intricate connections with "The Abyss"... Could she also play some role in this incident?
Or, to put it another way, did these events also have some impact on her?
After all, Lin Yu couldn't completely rule out the possibility that Shen Bingmiao's lack of information was due to a genuine lack of channels to obtain it, or...
This part was deliberately left blank.
