Upon hearing the voice, Leo Ray turned and found that the visitors were none other than Ruth and the Light Half-Elves.

"Apologies, Your Majesty of the Humans, our race is currently facing an unprecedented major crisis, and we are on pins and needles. Could we retrieve the Crystal Ball now?"

With an urgent look on her fair face, Ruth spoke, "Apologies, Your Majesty, I know the fierce battle has just ended, and you must have many matters to deal with, but we truly have not much time left."

"Understood, let's set off immediately then."

Without any hesitation, Leo Ray nodded towards Ruth and the Light Half-Elves, saying, "With the help of Jess and the others, the road to the Ancient Mine will be unobstructed."

"Thank you for your support, Your Majesty of the Humans!"

Upon hearing this, joy filled Ruth's delicate face, and she expressed her gratitude, while Mallen and the other Light Half-Elves wore similar expressions.

"No need for formalities, everyone, let's not forget we are comrades who have fought side by side, friends who faced life and death together."

While walking towards the Command Hall exit, Leo Ray smiled and said, "You have assisted the Human Clan, fought for the Human Clan; the Human Clan will never forget this friendship."

"We, Light Half-Elves, will also never forget the goodwill Your Majesty has shown us!"

Ruth solemnly nodded and then followed closely beside Leo Ray.

It didn't take long before Leo Ray and Ruth's group, familiar with the way, arrived in front of the area of the Ancient Mine where the Black Crystal Ball was stored.

At the entrance of this area, two rows of clean and tidy Dark Elf knight statues still stood, exuding an aura of ancient mystery.

"According to Xiao Jing, this is the only place the Ancient Dark Elves remembered to clean, so it must indeed be special."

Just as Leo Ray stopped in front of the statues, the figures of Jess and Lianna flashed into view.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, most of the magic traps here have been disarmed, and the remaining ones are in the process of being disarmed."

Jess nodded stiffly at Leo Ray and then guided, "Please, follow me this way."

"Thank you all for your hard work. We will only take the Black Crystal Ball and won't touch anything else inside."

Leo Ray maintained a respectful air towards the Dark Elf commander who recently helped tip the scales of victory, nodding slightly.

With that, the group, under the guidance of Jess and Lianna, resumed their steps.

After passing through the long and pristine ancient passage, the group arrived in a rather spacious ancient hall.

Looking around, Leo Ray noted that the environment here was fundamentally the same as the management area earlier, except at the end of the hall was an additional new passage.

Above the passage were a few ancient elven characters, painted in a vigorous style.

"These characters look familiar."

Leo Ray gazed at the ancient characters whose meaning eluded him, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"My Lord, it means 'Temple.'

Jasper Richardson whispered as he moved closer to Leo Ray.

"No wonder it seemed familiar."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, immediately understanding.

Back then, at the Light Elf Ruins Underground City next to Penelope Welbourn's territory, he indeed saw the same characters.

"Turns out the end of the passage leads to a temple, no wonder the Ancient Dark Elves remember this place. Despite calling themselves the godforsaken, deep down they've never forgotten here, which is quite remarkable indeed."

Leo Ray thought so, a glimpse of enigma passing through his eyes.

"In that Ancient Light Elf Ruins temple, there was actually a goddess statue of the Dark Elves placed, which was extremely incongruous and remains unsolved till now."

"I wonder if anything unusual will appear here as well?"

With these thoughts, Leo Ray began to proceed towards the temple passage.

Beside him, Ruth also recognized the temple characters, and a trace of reverence flitted across her fair face unwittingly.

Guided by Jess, they passed through the intricately carved walls, and as Leo Ray's vision suddenly opened up again, they were already standing at the entrance of the temple.

Resembling the temple of the Light Elf Tribe, this place was about five to six hundred square meters in area and ten meters high.

Despite the dim lighting here, it did not create a sense of oppression; instead, it was filled with a strange sense of sanctity.

Within this temple stood several rows of towering giant stone pillars.

These giant stone pillars were evenly aligned, and their surfaces were meticulously carved with intricate, exquisite hollow sculptures, depicting scenes of elves in worship or adoration, appearing magnificent beyond words.

A quick glance made it seem like finely crafted pieces of art, silently narrating the brilliance and splendor of the Dark Elven civilization during the Silver Moon Era.

Moreover, even the floors and surrounding walls were similarly adorned, with artistic carvings that tested the highest levels of elven culture.

"This is not just similar to that temple; it's like they were cast from the same mold."

Surrounded by the group, Leo Ray descended from the stone steps connecting the corridor to the temple, marveling inwardly.

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a similar temple?"

Noticing Leo Ray's familiar demeanor, curiosity surfaced on Ruth's fair face.
