Chapter 453 - 307: A Million EXP! This Is a New Trial
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do everything in my power to assist you," Su Xuan promised the Elf Queen with a smile.
’Whether it was for the mission or for the Elves, he had to give it his all.’
"With your promise, I can finally rest easy~"
Upon hearing this, the Elf Queen broke into a relieved smile.
But in Lucia’s eyes, this harmonious scene had an air of intimacy, which stirred her emotions.
She first shot Su Xuan a resentful glance, then turned to the Elf Queen and asked softly, "The Undead Monarch’s identity has always been a mystery. I was wondering if the Elf Kingdom, after fighting it for so many years, has any clues about its identity?"
"We do have some."
The Elf Queen nodded. After a moment of thought, she explained, "That Undead Monarch is slumbering in an underground palace thousands of meters deep, and its followers are trying everything they can to resurrect it."
"Although we don’t know its identity from its past life, we are certain that it belongs to the Snake-man Race."
"The Snake-man Race?"
Su Xuan was a little surprised to hear the Elf Queen’s words.
’I thought the Undead Monarch was human; I never would have guessed it was a Snake-man.’
However, the mention of the Snake-man Race immediately made him think of Queen Medusa.
’I wonder if this Undead Monarch is connected to Queen Medusa somehow?’
’And another thing...’
"Since we know the Undead Monarch’s name is Rein, why can’t we find any information on his identity?" Su Xuan asked the Elf Queen.
"Rein?"
Both the Elf Queen and Lucia turned to Su Xuan, their eyes filled with surprise.
"Mm."
Su Xuan nodded, realizing that neither the Elf Queen nor Lucia knew the Undead Monarch’s name.
"How do you know its name?" the Elf Queen asked curiously.
"It was on the task description panel," Su Xuan replied.
’According to the Adventurer’s Guild’s procedures, the client is supposed to fill out the task description and other information.’
’But strangely, the Elf Queen didn’t know the Undead Monarch’s name.’
’This was confusing. Could there have been an error in the task description?’
’Or maybe... someone else added that information to the quest details for the Elf Queen.’
"Even though I now know the Undead Monarch’s name is Rein, I’ve never heard that name among the Snake-man Race." The Elf Queen shook her head, drawing a complete blank.
"How strange. How could someone powerful enough to threaten the Elf Kingdom be completely unknown?" Lucia was also confused. She couldn’t recall there ever having been a powerful Snake-man named Rein on the Magic Continent.
"If we could find a Snake-man to ask, we might get some useful information," Su Xuan suggested thoughtfully.
"That is a good idea, but I’m spread far too thin these days..." The Elf Queen nodded slightly, then turned an expectant gaze to Su Xuan and asked softly, "Could I trouble you with this, little one~"
But before Su Xuan could answer, Lucia jumped in. "There’s a Snake-man tribe within the Sun Sect Country’s territory. I can send someone to make inquiries."
"Then I will leave it in your hands, Lady Lucia," the Elf Queen said, smiling at Lucia in thanks.
"It’s a trivial matter, think nothing of it," Lucia replied nonchalantly.
The Elf Queen then turned to Su Xuan, her eyes twinkling with admiration. "Lady Lucia is wonderfully capable. President Su Xuan, you are truly fortunate to have such a woman by your side~"
"???"
Hearing the Elf Queen’s praise, Lucia’s heart instantly started to pound wildly in her chest.
Her skin flushed crimson in an instant, as if she still wasn’t used to her ’new identity.’
"She certainly is!"
Su Xuan simply agreed with a smile.
Just then, he received a message notification from Ivsha and the others:
[The gift from the Elf Mother Tree has ended!]
[Total Experience Gained: 1,356,000! Ascension Crystals x20!]
’Such a huge haul?’
When Su Xuan saw that Ivsha and the others had gained over a million experience points and obtained 20 Ascension Crystals, he couldn’t help but smile.
’He did some quick mental math. With the 17 Ascension Crystals from the four previously completed C-Level Tasks, the Guild now had a total of 37 Ascension Crystals.’
’Those crystals were enough to raise a unit below Level 60 by a full 37 Levels.’
However, Su Xuan also realized a problem.
Currently, aside from Rosaline, who had completed her challenge task and reached Level 50, none of the other Adventurers in the Guild had been able to complete theirs and were stuck at Level 49.
This had become a bottleneck, restricting the members’ further growth.
’Therefore, Su Xuan set a new goal: first, help everyone complete their challenge tasks and get all the Guild members to Level 50 or higher!’

"It’s getting late, Your Majesty, so we’ll be taking our leave now."
Su Xuan stood up to bid the Elf Queen farewell.
"Mm~"
The Elf Queen nodded and asked with a smile, "Should I see you out?"
"That won’t be necessary! Good night, Your Majesty!"
Su Xuan took Lucia’s hand, and after a polite farewell, he left the Elf Queen’s bedchambers. He would find Ivsha and the others, and then they would all return to the Guild together.
After their figures disappeared, the Elf Queen finally let out a long sigh, her chest heaving as she tried to calm her turbulent emotions.
