The white light gradually faded, and the field of vision went dark at first, and then slowly returned to light.

Countless colorful lights flashed on the deep and mysterious dark background like the night sky, making the pale golden platform where Colin stood become gorgeous.

But before he could carefully observe his surroundings, Colin was suddenly startled.

"Where's Naxi?!" He looked back, but didn't see any shadow, only the "treasure starry sky" like in front of him.

Looking up again, the same is true above...

Colin turned his head and looked around, and his mental power spread out, all the way to the edge of the circular platform. Even when blocked by invisible forces, he could not find any trace of Naxi.

His heart suddenly sank.

'Could it be that you failed to cross over and was left in the palace just now?'

Realizing this, Colin subconsciously wanted to find an exit and quickly return to the palace... Naxi was not in good condition when she came in, and he was really worried.

‘Why didn’t you come with me? My senior’s bobi is good enough... could it be because of pollution?

No... the treasure house has obviously been built before the Elf Kingdom encountered pollution, and there is a high probability that there will be no special mechanism to screen for pollution.' Colin's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he took steps.

But the next moment, he turned around and looked around. Before he put down his stepped foot, he suddenly realized——

There are no exits from the platform here.

There isn't even a suspected exit.

The entire circular, tree-stump-like light golden platform only has a circular platform in the middle for one person to stand on.

‘It seems that the treasure must be obtained first before the exit will appear.’ Colin’s face hardened and he walked quickly towards the central platform.

‘If it’s not because of pollution, then could it be because of the different certificates he holds?’ As he walked, thoughts kept rising in his heart.

"The certificates are indeed different, and what you can enter are treasure troves...

Are they all treasure troves?”

When his thoughts reached this point, as if he was struck by lightning, Colin suddenly thought of a possibility.

'According to the logic of the treasure house, it should naturally be a certificate to enter one, whether it is a wizard or an elf... and the elf is also a recognized individual in the elf clan, so logically it should be regarded as one.

'

‘In this case, in addition to the possibility of different certificates, there is another possibility——

The place Lilian entered was different from the place she entered. It was not a treasure house!’

Step by step up to the central high platform, Colin's thoughts have not stopped.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that it was possible!

Lilian's bracelet was left to her by her mother, who was a high elf. It was something left to her daughter.

The rest of the green leaves and wooden hammers should be gifts from the elves to outsiders.

What's more, Lilian never mentioned that her mother had told her that the bracelet could also open the treasure house... They were the ones who preconceptionally thought that the bracelet, like the other objects, was also a certificate for opening the treasure house.

Buzz——

At this time, Colin walked onto the central circular platform. He stood on the high platform, and a little green light suddenly lit up from the center of the circular platform.

Then with a rustling sound, a small green-gold tree that was just as tall as him suddenly appeared.

The moment he saw the little tree, a message came to him.

"Please pick the fruit and tell me the type of treasure you want, a visitor from the elves."

On the branch of the small tree, there was a huge golden fruit hanging. It was so heavy that it almost bent the small tree.

Colin did not hesitate, took off the fruit, and expressed his already determined thoughts.

"A treasure that increases wisdom and assists learning and understanding of knowledge."

As his words fell, the pale golden fruit originally held in his palm suddenly changed.

The fruit emits an emerald green light, soft but very bright, almost enveloping the entire fruit in a dense light.

The dense light changed like flowing water, and finally turned into a huge ring shape.

"A light golden crown?"

When the light dissipated, Colin could see clearly what the fruit in his hand had transformed into.

This is a golden crown that looks like woven leaves. The front is in the shape of a gentle triangle, and at the top is a green leaf that is completely different from the other leaves and has the feel of a gem.

Seeing this leaf, Colin almost subconsciously thought of the leaves of the legendary ancient tree of life - the leaf of wisdom.

But obviously, this cannot be a real living ancient tree leaf

‘…Maybe we can have some connections?’ Colin thought again.

Joy appeared on his face.

In any case, this crown is obviously as he requested, a treasure that can increase wisdom and assist in learning knowledge!

'Now is not the time to test the treasure... go out first and then talk.'

Resisting the urge to put on the crown immediately, Colin turned his head and looked around, hoping to find an exit that might have quietly appeared.

But the field of vision was still empty.

Rustling.

The small tree suddenly began to shake.

'Um?'

Colin was slightly startled and took a few steps back reflexively.

The golden tree swayed and retracted, and a stone platform rose up after a moment.

"Please tell me the treasure effect you want to redeem."

Just like before, a message reached Colin's heart as the stone platform rose.

He frowned slightly.

'Exchange...what exchange?'

"Recover the injury and eliminate the contaminated treasure." The next moment, he tentatively spoke.

Light flashed across the stone platform.

A new piece of information was passed to Colin's heart.

"Please place items of corresponding value on the stone platform."

'It turned out to be an exchange of equal value... I didn't expect that the elves' treasure house has such a function.'

Colin understood, and subconsciously wanted to refuse... He had nothing to exchange for it.

But the next moment, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly took out a dry brown branch - this was the same branch he had obtained from the tree elf that could release a second-level attack.

But it seems that due to the bloodline, neither he nor Lilian can use it... now it is just put in as an exchange price.

"Recover injuries and eliminate contaminated treasures."

After placing the branch on the stone platform, Colin paused and said in a deep voice again.

The reason why I chose such a treasure was mainly for Naxi. On the other hand, it was also for my mentor Atbold, just in case.

For Naxi's sake, it goes without saying... her condition is really worrying.

On the other hand, if his inference just now is correct, it is very likely that the place where Senior Sister Lilian went is not the treasure house... As for where she went, I am afraid only her mother, who is a high elf, knows.

If this is the case, if Lillian cannot obtain the treasure for curing Atbald, then if he obtains the treasure for curing Atbald, Atbald will have more hope.

In short... there is absolutely nothing wrong with exchanging healing treasures.

As Colin's voice fell, the light on the stone platform flashed again.

Another piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Invalid items, please replace the exchange items on the stone platform."

"This branch is not recognized by the treasure house?" Colin was stunned, and his original plan failed instantly, which made him feel a little disappointed.

'But there's nothing I can do about it, I don't have many valuable things...'

But thinking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and summoned a familiar black scepter - the scepter of ignorance.

This scepter has been with him since he left Blackstone Island. Relying on it, he has been able to escape many disasters.

But as time goes by, and as one's own strength grows...the Scepter of Foolishness gradually becomes unwieldy.

Whether it was the increasingly high cost or the hidden dangers that may exist when using it, he used the Scepter of Folly less and less.

Colin's eyes flickered, thinking carefully.

Now the Scepter of Idiotism is going to slightly improve a first-level witchcraft, roughly to the peak of the first level, and is about to touch the second level.

According to user experience, it is estimated that nearly 50 points of progress are required... The cost is high, but the improvement in exchange is not much.

According to this growth rate, I am afraid that by the time he reaches the second level or the first level of advanced level, he will not be able to afford the cost of using the Scepter of Folly.
To be continued...
