Crimson Gold-ranked Magic Resistance.
Caesar faced the exploding specks of light and stood there silently, feeling the changes in his body. Before this, he had received a scale modification — Black Jade-ranked Magic Resistance. That Black Jade-ranked Magic Resistance had given him an unparalleled magic resistance, giving him a fixed 60% damage reduction.
Crimson Gold-ranked, what would it be like?
Caesar did not know. Black Dream had never explained anything to him. He could only study it by himself and try to figure it out when he faced a spellcaster in the future.
But no matter what, this reward would not be bad. After all, this was something on the same level as the Bio Boost Armor.
Caesar was prepared for the sudden appearance of the Crimson Gold Trophy, so he was not too surprised. He calmly left the dark space and planned to see Luna's research on the Magic Staff "Spring".
Speaking of which, when Black Dragon gave the staff to Luna, the little one immediately showed the same suspicious expression as the little fox. This was because Caesar could not hide it from her. Forest fairies were very sensitive to magical items. Luna could tell at a glance that the "Spring" was made of a young branch of the Tree of Knowledge.
This was something from the Elven Forest.
For this matter, Luna chased after him for a long time, chirping like a little bird. She circled around Black Dragon, hugging his neck and asking for the truth.
— Let's move forward a bit.
Although they were close neighbors, the Elven Forest was actually quite a distance away from Blackwing's Lair. In between, they had to cross a mountain range and cross two streams. Fortunately, there were no ferocious beasts or monsters. In the end, Caleb successfully returned to the Elven Forest and brought back his captured kin.
Out of consideration, Caleb asked the diplomatic group to spread the news of their safe return, and not return quietly to report to His Majesty the Elven King.
Although His Majesty Casia was the leader, he was too young and had just taken over the throne. Only because he was blessed by the gods, his position was gradually stabilized.
However, this did not mean that the Elf King had no competitors. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at this beautiful girl, observing her every move, waiting for her to make a mistake.
Caleb wanted to spread the news of his successful return to prove that His Majesty Casia's negotiation strategy was correct. He wanted to increase the Elven King's influence and eliminate some unstable factors.
It was true that the Elven Forest was filled with good people, but the fight for power had nothing to do with good or evil.
Upon seeing Caleb, Garcia Yufeng revealed a gentle smile. The melancholy in her eyes due to waiting was swept away. "Ambassador Caleb, it's good to see you, especially when I see that you're safe and sound."
The Elven King sized him up carefully and did not hide his joy. "Thank you for bringing back my people who were in trouble. Also, I hope that the trip to Black Wing's Nest will not affect your emotional life."
"Not at all, Your Majesty."
Caleb could not help but feel a little nervous in front of Queen Whisperwind, whom he had always dreamed of meeting. At the same time, he wanted to show off, so he subconsciously exaggerated, "That evil dragon cannot scare me. The Tiya Elves have always been fearless."
Caleb received the Elven King's praise.
However, in comparison, Casia was more concerned about her people who had suffered in the dungeons of Black Wing's Nest. Thus, she immediately went to meet them and expressed her sympathy for these pitiful people.
Only then did the Elven King realize the problem. "Ambassador Caleb, there are a total of 27 of us who are missing, but I only saw 19 of them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Caleb's expression turned gloomy. He said in a pained voice, "There are still seven warriors who did not make it back. They will forever remain in Black Wing's Nest. We will remember their names."
"Is that so?"
Casia heard this and could not help but sigh. She revealed a look of pity. "May the Moon Goddess guide them and let their souls return to the Divine Kingdom."
"May the Moon Goddess guide them," Caleb repeated.
The chirping of the birds gradually faded away. The forest returned to silence.
"But, Ambassador Caleb."
After a long time, the young leader spoke again. "Where is the last one?"
"It's that forest sprite."
Caleb's tone took a turn for the worse. In his opinion, if Tiarope had not acted on her own, things would not have ended up like this. If the Black Dragon was the main culprit, then Tiarope was an accomplice.
Because of this, he despised the entire sprite race.
"Did you see her?"
"No. The other party said that they would ensure her safety. At the same time, they said that the sprites did not want to see us. I can't guess the dragon's intentions."
"It seems that their relationship is unfathomable."
The jade crown on Casia's head reflected the sunset glow. "From Magus Hill's description, she might really be the Black Dragon's friend."
Caleb said, "Associating with evil is no different from falling into evil." This was not his original words, but a concept passed down by the previous Elven King.
Casia thought for a moment and asked, "You have personally come into contact with the Black Dragon. Do you think it is evil?"
Caleb replied without hesitation. "Yes. That dragon is crude and ferocious. It is extremely irritable and greedy. It is the standard evil creature."
"Is that true?"
Casia looked at him with a smile and looked into the eyes of the Elven envoy. "But Magus Hill seems to have a completely different view from you."
When Chimera returned, although she did not say anything good about the Black Dragon, she did not say anything bad about it either.
After all, the other party was a Pentashade Dragon. Magus Hill's behavior was enough to explain many things.
"Alright. As you said, I can't come to a conclusion."
Under the clear gaze of King Whisperer, Caleb gave in. "I admit that it is indeed different from the other Pentashade Dragons. However, this does not prove that the Black Dragon is not evil."
"You are right."
Casia nodded and looked at the rippling lake. "That is why I am preparing to go to the Black Wing's Nest to see it with my own eyes."
"No!"
Even Caleb did not know why he had spoken to Casia in such a strong tone.
He immediately realized his mistake and half-knelt in front of the Elf King. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking out of turn, but you are the leader of the Elf Forest. You should not be involved in this matter. This is not a joke."
"I know."
Casia's voice was as calm as ever. He was not affected by the Elven envoy's offense. "However, I have a reason to go and see it. One of our people is trapped in the Black Wing's Nest. We must ensure her safety and ensure her freedom."
"For a mere forest sprite?"
Due to his strong emotions, Caleb used words that were obviously biased. "You do not have to put yourself in danger for a fallen fairy that is allied with an evil dragon. Your Majesty, that evil dragon is unimaginably powerful."
Even if you are favored by the Moon God, you are not its match.
This was an unspoken message. Caleb did not say it directly.
Casia's tone became slightly more serious. He warned him, "Do not be so subjective. Envoy Caleb, we cannot be sure that she was willing to stay by the Black Dragon's side. Perhaps Miss Luna was coerced.
In this regard, Mr. Tiarope and Miss Prynne share the same opinion as me. "
