Zhou Ning walked over carefully and found that the corpse lying on the ground had probably been dead for several days. It had long ears and was quite pretty, but its muscles were very developed and it had long fangs. It was indeed a half-elf, but judging by its appearance, it should be a hybrid of a walrus and an elf, two races with extremely strong martial virtues. The cause of death was probably stepping on an electric magic trap on the ground.

In fact, the Church of the Goddess of Life, especially the travelers in the Church of the Goddess of Life, should be very good at breaking magic traps, but the master only leads the way and the decision is up to the individual. This half-elf probably didn't learn well.

If the Pirate King Zhou Ning is also considered as himself, then according to seniority, this half-elf should be his descendant. Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel the impermanence of life when the old man sends the young man away.

According to speculation, this half-elf was able to enter this mysterious palace because he, like himself, possessed a prop similar to Damian's ordinary mirror. Of course, perhaps having elven blood was also part of the reason. Zhou Ningke did not forget that he also had the talent of elven blood and had a little bit of elven blood.

Zhou Ning reached out and removed the identification plate from the half-elf's clothing, along with her belongings. The plate bore the name of Audis Greenleaf. Although he was curious about the item she had used to gain entry, Zhou Ning had his own principles and would return her belongings to their original owner, who would have the Adventurer's Guild return them to her family.

Moreover, according to the nature of the optical computer, there is no guarantee that the exploration here will be recorded in the TV series, so I still have to maintain my idol demeanor at all times, and my hairstyle must not be messy even if I get beaten.

After putting away the nameplate and the package, the commission was declared complete. However, looking at the mysterious palace in front of him, this was an area that had never been explored in the previous life. It would be a shame to satisfy his curiosity if he didn't explore it.

"This is a typical ancient elven style, recorded in the texts of the Ascetic Church. It's said that during that period, the elves were pursuing an architectural style called Baroque. Baroque is a foreign word meaning irregular pearls."

Jasmine, formerly the High Patriarch of the Ascetic Church and a formidable historian, had a certain understanding of the elves. "The most striking characteristic of elven architecture is the extensive use of gold, ostentatious decoration, and a reverence for luxury, as if they've never seen gold in their entire lives. They also display a classic case of paranoia, often setting numerous magical traps within their buildings. Be wary of these traps; some are harmful, while others are designed to control. Some can turn people into defenseless sheep, often lasting for extended periods, often hours. By then, I won't be able to help you."

Baroque style, haha… maybe another time traveler's masterpiece. Zhou Ning nodded, making a feeble guess, holding up the lantern, and walked forward cautiously. It was foreseeable that there would be no shortage of magical traps ahead.

There are also various well-preserved reliefs and murals on both sides of Zhou Ning, all depicting the scenes of the ancient elf king Alfred's conquests. In his heyday, Alfred had countless wizards under his command and developed a brilliant elven civilization, but was also extremely barbaric and warlike.

One of the pictures showed him ordering his men to hang tens of thousands of humans, with countless corpses hanging in the air like a dense forest. The picture was so realistic that Zhou Ning felt a chill down his spine.

When Zhou Ning stepped over several seemingly ordinary stone slabs, he suddenly felt a vibration under his feet. Although it was extremely subtle, he was able to sense it immediately through his powerful observation Haki.

There are traps!

Zhou Ning immediately retreated quickly. With a bang, a lightning trap exploded where he had just stood. In an instant, electric snakes danced wildly in the air, covering the entire area and completely destroying the ground.

The aftermath of several lightning strikes inevitably reached Zhou Ning.

-227, -287, -295, several shocking damage numbers floated above Zhou Ning's head, and his health dropped by half in an instant.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Wasn't the damage from this lightning trap too much? Just brushing against it nearly cost him his life. Furthermore, the delay from triggering to detonation was less than half a second, leaving him very little time to react. Zhou Ning couldn't help but understand why the female half-elf, Audis Greenleaf, had died.

After this lesson, Zhou Ning didn't dare to be careless anymore. After performing a quick healing on himself to fill up his health, he reached into the pocket of his windbreaker with his right palm and took out a card based on his feeling - it was a Beast Warrior Garusas, a Mortal Bone with 1800 attack and 1500 defense.

That's fine. Zhou Ning wasn't picky. After expending some of his mental energy, a figure slowly emerged in front of him.

The Garusas that appeared in front of Zhou Ning looked more like a lizard man, wearing blue shoulder armor and holding a huge axe. He looked very miserable. The only bright spot was that he had a lot of health, as much as 6400 points, which made him a qualified meat shield.

Under Zhou Ning's control, Garusas walked forward without hesitation, and Zhou Ning only needed to follow it.

Just ten seconds later, Zhou Ning keenly sensed a powerful elemental fluctuation on the ground ahead. Sure enough, Garusas quickly stepped on two traps, this time a Hellfire trap. A flood of dark red flames emanated from the surface, causing devastating damage. After triggering full damage, Garusas's 10 health points were nearly killed instantly. Zhou Ning felt fortunate to have landed on the second trap. After stepping on it, Garusas instantly twisted into a distorted shape. In the blink of an eye, Garusas transformed into a sheep, a bleating, shaggy-haired sheep.

Then he was blown into a ball of minced meat by the arcane torrent overflowing from the trap.

No!! Garusas——

Zhou Ning couldn't help but gasp when he saw this. After resting for a while to recover his mental strength, he decisively made another magical draw. This time it was a human named Magic Knight Kiltia, who was wearing a blue robe and holding a staff in his hand. It seemed that he was very good at fighting.

After going deep into the palace, there should be a hall in front of you, with

The furnishings were extremely extravagant; even the candlesticks and ornaments were pure gold. The floor was clad in moonstone, a rare occult material. Zhou Ning heard Jasmine's slightly numb voice: "Look at the supporting pillar in front. It's made entirely of mithril. At current prices, this pillar is worth at least 2 million Victar."

Zhou Ning: ...

What the hell? 2 million Vectra?

Zhou Ning took great pains to give up the urge to pull out the entire pillar and put it into his inventory, because pulling out a load-bearing pillar in the ruins was tantamount to seeking death. He then continued to walk deeper into the hall.

There were three doors right in front of the hall, which were three deep corridors leading to three places. On the left and right sides of the door stood a statue of an elf warrior. Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment and was about to control the magic knight Kiltia to explore the middle corridor when he suddenly heard a dull sound coming from far away. He hurriedly ordered the magic knight Kiltia to dodge to the side.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The ground began to tremble, and the vibration became more and more obvious. Then Zhou Ning saw a figure nearly six meters tall walking out of the corridor on the left.

It was silver-white all over, as if made of mithril, and was covered with mysterious patterns and symbols. There were countless gears turning inside its body. It was actually a giant mithril puppet.
