However, this type of magical item is often a step higher in terms of crafting difficulty, and its power is a step lower than the original magic cast by a magician.
But anything that can withstand a single strike from the Sword King can truly be called a treasure in this world.
If it were to circulate in the market, it would likely be purchased directly by the royal family for an exorbitant price in gold coins.
Luo Qixi looked conflicted and said to Luo Ya, "Is something this valuable really suitable for me?"
Luo Ya laughed and said, "Since you've already accepted it, why waste so much time talking? You're my wife, so naturally I should give you the good things."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi smiled, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
The fact that such a treasure could be offered to her is enough to show how much Luo Qixi means to Luo Ya.
That still-childish face was so beautiful when she smiled.
The radiance of the goddess Luo once again blinded Luo Ya.
Roya stepped forward, put his arm around the other's slender waist, and continued, "Of course, if you need to use magic in an emergency, you can also draw magic from it to replenish yourself. Well, you'll need to inject magic into it every now and then, because under normal circumstances, the energy contained in the magic stone will continuously dissipate. Although it's a long process, if you don't inject magic for a long time, it will affect its performance to some extent."
Luo Qixi nodded, indicating that she understood.
Luo Ya looked into Luo Qixi's eyes again and said seriously, "No matter what happens, your safety must come first. You are my wife, and I don't want you to get involved in trouble because of other things. If you encounter any trouble, you must wait for me."
Roya's tone was more serious than ever before. Loki had never seen Roya so serious. From the time he first came to the Kingdom of Xilong until now, Roya had always given Loki a feeling of being unreliable, but now, that unreliability had completely disappeared.
However, when Roya is serious, he is indeed much more handsome than when he is unserious.
Luo Qixi coughed a few times, gave a slight smile, and stood on tiptoe, trying to pat Luo Ya's shoulder, but unfortunately, she was too short to reach Luo Ya's shoulder.
Luo Qixi's expression stiffened slightly. Luo Ya was a little surprised by Luo Qixi's reaction, but still asked curiously, "What's wrong, Master Luo Qixi?"
Luo Qixi cleared her throat and said to Luo Ya, "Pick me up."
Luo Ya was surprised by what Luo Qixi said. Luo Qixi usually hated being treated like a child. What happened now? Had she changed her personality?
However, since he could openly hug the little girl without making her angry, Roya was naturally happy to oblige.
Supporting her bottom with one hand and her waist with the other, as if carrying a younger sister, Luo Ya easily lifted Luo Qixi up.
Luo Qixi seemed to be in a good mood when she was picked up, with a faint smile on her face.
If that head of azure hair were dyed blonde, this peaceful scene would probably be mistaken for a father and daughter.
From wife to daughter, if Loki knew what Luo Ya was thinking, she'd probably be so angry she'd punch him in the chest.
The faint fragrance emanating from Loki made Luo Ya feel refreshed and relaxed. He took a deep breath, and the missing Loki essence was replenished. All the annoying troubles between humans and gods were also forgotten by Luo Ya.
However, the next moment, Roya's expression froze.
Luo Qixi stretched out her fair arm and gently placed her small hand on Luo Ya's head, rubbing it as she said, "Master is a Water King-level mage, so he can be of help if anything happens."
Luo Ya's lips twitched. No wonder she was acting so strangely today. She actually let Luo Ya hug her. It seems she had an ulterior motive.
Luo Qixi was secretly pleased with herself. Looking at Luo Ya's slightly helpless expression, she turned her head and chuckled.
At the same time, I tried to touch her head a few more times. Opportunities like this are rare. If Luo Ya becomes wary in the future, she will definitely resist if I try to touch her head again.
The smooth strands of hair brushed against Luo Qixi's fingertips; the boy's hair was so beautiful that Luo Qixi was jealous.
Who in this world could have such dazzling blond hair?
He was just a boy who acted more like a nobleman than any other nobleman, even though his personality was terrible.
Of course, Luo Ya wouldn't let Luo Qixi keep touching him like that. He let go of her and put her on the ground, saying irritably, "You're going to have a hard time tonight."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi's cheeks flushed red, and she stammered, "Um, I have something to do, I'll go first."
After saying that, he dashed off with his short legs toward the palace where the soldiers were being trained.
Luo Ya sighed and didn't say much. There was still plenty of time, and he could do something more useful now.
Instead of wasting time here.
There are adventurers all around, and there are many adventurer guilds. Now, as long as I clear one floor of the surrounding maze, I can gain a lot of fame and money in an instant.
However, it is unrealistic to expect to pass through the maze in a short time. Even for someone as strong as Roya, it would be quite difficult to clear the maze in a single day.
This isn't to say that the monsters in the maze are particularly strong. Just the complexity of the maze's map alone is enough to keep an adventure team exploring for quite some time. Moreover, the maze isn't just one level; often, there's another level after the first. If it's a small maze, even if you manage to explore it, you won't gain enough reputation. And if it's a large maze, Roya doesn't have enough time to explore it.
Moreover, although the monsters in the maze are not strong, they are numerous.
After a moment's thought, Roya decided to do some of the adventurers' guild's quests instead.
The Kingdom of Xilong is far from peaceful; monsters frequently roam its border areas, and in many places, the monster population has even reached the point of being rampant.
Given the limited national strength of the Kingdom of Xilong, it is simply unrealistic to directly send troops to launch a punitive expedition.
Fortunately, although it was difficult to deal with these magical beasts, the labyrinth attracted adventurers of slightly stronger strength to this country. So, the Kingdom of Xilong simply hired these adventurers to handle these messy matters, adding a sum of gold coins to their commission.
You know what, this method actually works quite well; no one will complain about having too many gold coins.
The rewards for completing quests in the Kingdom of Xilong are more generous than elsewhere, which means that unless it's a particularly difficult monster, adventurers from the surrounding area will volunteer to help.
Otherwise, given the current level of development of the Kingdom of Xilong, it would have descended into chaos long ago.
Luo Ya then accepted the mission by holding the plaque that symbolized his identity.
Because Roja had previous experience with missions, this mission was considered dangerous even for a novice.
However, Roya easily resolved all of them.
In just one morning, nearly ten quests were completed. Although the monsters hunted in each quest were not as difficult as S-rank or A-rank quests, the fact that these quests were loaded together did not mean that they were easier than A-rank quests.
Roya walked into the Adventurers' Guild and then took out the teeth from the sack, casually saying, "What kind of wolf is this? Well, I forgot the name and stuff. It's a C-rank dangerous species. These are wolf fangs, ten of them. Take a look."
Sitting on the stage was a little girl, who looked much fatter than the little girl I had seen in the Kingdom of Asura.
When the other party first met Luo Ya, they greeted her with the same enthusiasm that any other girl would show when meeting her favorite celebrity.
However, despite the warm hospitality, Roya's response was rather lukewarm.
At first, the saleswoman thought Roya was just a pretty face. After all, with Roya's thin arms and legs, she was more inclined to believe that he was a nobleman from the royal family who came out to experience what the life of an adventurer was like than an adventurer.
In fact, there are indeed such people. Those members of the royal family who value freedom and dislike sitting in the palace always want to experience the thrill of swords and bloodshed, and the exhilarating feeling of fighting monsters.
But the reality is that if these reckless fools were allowed to take on the mission and run off, only to end up dead in the mouths of goblins or dire wolves, the Adventurers' Guild would ultimately suffer the consequences.
After all, the Adventurers' Guild was established in this country, so it must maintain a relatively friendly relationship with the kingdom.
If it's just a simple task, considering how handsome the other person is, I could reluctantly introduce him to a few adventurer teams that are friendly to newbies. After experiencing some hardships on the road, the idea of going on an adventure will naturally fade away.
The girl was slightly taken aback when she saw the request form that Roya handed her.
This is a B-level mission. Can the other party complete it?
Just as the girl was pondering how to gently persuade the boy or directly reject him...
The handsome young man took out the medal symbolizing a C-rank adventurer from his pocket.
The girl stood there, stunned, lost in thought.
She wasn't shocked, after all, there were quite a few A-rank and B-rank adventurers who came here, and she had even hosted a few S-rank adventurers before.
She was just a little surprised.
To be honest, a C-rank adventurer isn't considered particularly strong in this guild, or even in this country. What surprised her was her own judgment.
Could such a thin boy, who looks like he's never even held a sword before, really be a C-rank adventurer?
The thought flashed through her mind, but no matter how many times she checked, she could confirm that it was indeed a C-grade adventurer's token.
Since that's the case, the girl decided to let the other party accept the task.
Then, just as she was about to say something to persuade him, such as suggesting that they form a team, she saw him walk away without turning his head.
Without weapons or any armor, wearing only this casual clothing, going hunting?
The adventurers present burst into laughter, and the girl was also astonished by the other party's courageous behavior.
He hurriedly chased after her, but in the short time it took to freeze, the boy had already disappeared by the time the girl went out.
The girl was somewhat melancholy and a little irritable.
I may have just personally buried an extremely handsome young man.
No, that's not the problem. The more important thing is the other party's background. If it's a prince, I'd probably get my head chopped off, right?
The more the girl thought about it, the more agitated she became, and she cursed herself for not checking the other person's identity a few more times.
Just as the girl was blaming herself, a familiar voice came again.
"Well, I've finished my task. Here are the materials I needed."
After saying that, the boy put a bag stained with blood on the table.
The girl subconsciously took the things Roya handed her, paused for a moment, then opened the bag; it was indeed the item needed for the request.
Somewhat bewildered, he nodded and credited the mission points to the badge, only to see the boy immediately accept the next mission.
And so, to the girl's astonishment, the other party had completed ten tasks in just one hour.
The difficulty of these tasks increased sequentially, and they were located in different regions. In the end, the opponent's adventure level also successfully rose to B.
And so, a B-rank adventurer was born.
It's somewhat absurd, and also somewhat funny.
In fact, the Adventurers' Guild has been criticized a lot because of its complicated mechanics.
