Among the two prisoners who had awakened, one was an elf, and the other was a dwarf.
At this moment, they both looked at Ji Chen with a fiery gaze, their eyes fixed firmly on him.
As if they had just laid eyes on an unparalleled treasure.
Ji Chen even got a slight shiver from that look in their eyes.
The elf was fine, an alluring female elf that could easily make any man’s heart race. Her graceful figure and enchanting appearance were partially revealed beneath a robe that seemed to have been through a lot, along with a veil that added an air of mystery.
The dwarf, on the other hand, seemed almost stereotypical. He sported a scruffy beard, and his clothing looked as if it hadn’t seen a wash in centuries. However, beneath those worn clothes, his robust muscles spoke of explosive strength.
“That cute little stranger over there, yes, you, look here,” the female elf’s sultry voice echoed, causing Ji Chen to unconsciously shift his gaze from the dwarf to her.
When Ji Chen’s gaze met hers, the exposed eyes of the female elf squinted, giving off an alluring and pitiable impression.
“Dear little one, can you see how long I’ve been trapped here? It’s been such a long time. Poor me. Could you help me out of this cage?”
“As long as you free me, I promise to ‘reward’ you generously.”
With a subtle intention, the pink eyes of the female elf swept over Ji Chen’s body, filled with a teasing allure. She shifted her posture, revealing more of her snow-white skin and enticing curves beneath the slightly drafty mage robe.
Had an ordinary person been present, a few words and gestures from her would have left them completely captivated.
However, having been around Alice, Ji Chen’s resistance was naturally much higher. At this moment, he felt only a slight flutter in his heart, quickly suppressing it, and calmly responded,
“Free you? But if you’re imprisoned here, you must have done something wrong, right?”
Seeing Ji Chen’s composed demeanor, the female elf couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise, yet she appeared more aggrieved than anything.
“Where have I done anything wrong, dear? I’m just an innocent elf who was randomly captured by some wicked individuals. Young sir, you’re really misunderstanding me.”
Wicked individuals?
Could they be the ones who built this prison?
Ji Chen felt somewhat uncertain. However, he quickly realized that he shouldn’t easily believe the words of this alluring female elf, who radiated endless temptation.
If she was imprisoned within such a magnificent prison, she certainly couldn’t be an ordinary elf.
Releasing her without careful consideration might lead to unexpected consequences.
Secretly, he tried to access her information panel.
[Elf Hero: ???]
[Race]: Elf
[Level]: 79
[Tier]: Epic (Gold)
[Skills]: ???
Oh, so she’s a level 79 Epic-tier hero. He thought…
Level 79?! Epic tier?!
Ji Chen looked incredulous, closing and reopening the information panel, only to find the same information displayed again.
Subconsciously, he cleared his throat.
Although he didn’t know the exact hierarchy of the Epic tier, it was most likely even more powerful than the Legendary tier.
Furthermore, being at level 79, it was already among the pinnacle existences of the 7th tier.
Perhaps sensing the change in Ji Chen’s expression, the female elf spoke with a smile.
“Young lad, you were looking me up, weren’t you? By now, you probably have a rough idea of my strength, right?”
“If you help me escape, I can use my power to do a few things for you. As a level 79 Epic tier, 1 should still have a fair amount of strength if I were to be released, shouldn’t I?”
More than just a fair amount of strength, she could practically conquer anything in her path.
Ji Chen silently ridiculed in his mind. He couldn’t fathom how a creature like her had been imprisoned here.
Internally rolling his eyes, he kept his composure and smiled, countering with a question.
“Forgive my impudence, but may I know your name, milady? And to which faction of race do you belong?”
“I am Elin Apocalis,” the female elf replied with a beaming smile. “And I’m an elf!”
“I’m well aware that you’re an elf; after all, your ears give it away. What 1 meant to ask is, which specific faction of elves do you belong to?”
“Which faction of elves?” Elin’s perpetual smile finally froze for a moment. “Young lad, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Aren’t all elves just elves?”
“Oh?” Ji Chen feigned astonishment. “Don’t you know that the elven race has long since split into dozens of different groups? Though it might sound unfortunate, that’s indeed the case…”
Briefly, Ji Chen explained the current state of the elven race as he understood it.
Three thousand years ago, the elves were still a united whole, living together as one race.
However, some incident had caused irreconcilable conflicts within the elven race, leading to the division into several factions under the leadership of a few powerful elven figures. Over time, these factions further fragmented.
The establishment of the Elven Empire today represented the strongest of these factions.
Initially, this information was presented in the game’s lore, so Ji Chen remembered it quite well.
However, looking at this female elf’s demeanor… Could she really be unaware of this?
Did that mean she was at least three thousand years old!?
Ji Chen came to this conclusion, his gaze at Elin involuntarily changing.
He had previously speculated that Elin had been imprisoned for a few hundred years, but now it seemed that this span of time needed to be extended to several thousand years.
“Split apart?” After listening to Ji Chen’s explanation, Elin murmured to herself, then gritted her teeth in anger. “Those bastards! If I had known, I should have taken care of those idiots first to eliminate any future trouble….”
