As the completely black crystal ball approached, Leo Ray's eyes narrowed slightly, observing further.

The crystal ball was not transparent, and its surface wasn't very smooth, yet it reflected the light of the lighting magic, existing in a state somewhere between smooth and matte.

Looking closer, the entire surface of the crystal ball was engraved with extremely fine and regular patterns, but it was hard to determine if they were magic patterns.

"Reporting to you, Lord, I have polished this black crystal ball countless times over the past three thousand years, but I have never discovered any clues."

With Leo Ray's permission, Xiao Jing cautiously held it in both hands and took the crystal ball out of the groove.

Looking at the crystal ball at close range, Leo Ray opened its attribute column.

[Name: Dried Dark Elf Tear (Irreparable)]

[Race: Dark Elf]

[Grade: None]

[Effect: None]

[Note: A Dark Elf Tear that has long lost its function, like a grain of sand lost in the river of time.]

"Is it actually a special Elf Tear? Judging by the name, it should be a unique item of the Dark Elves."

Leo Ray looked at the text in the attribute column, nodded thoughtfully.

Leo Ray was no stranger to Elf Tears, such extraordinary items.

Back then, it was because Jasper Richardson found this unique and magical item in the Light Elf Ruins that he was able to restore his strength and lift the Moonwhite Tribe's bloodline seal.

"Now that I think about it, I also found that Elf Tear at the goddess statue, so it's no surprise that another one appears here."

"However, that Elf Tear, although it had lost a lot of energy, was still usable. After my upgrade, it was restored to its original state, but has this one completely lost its function?"

Thinking this in his heart, Leo Ray attempted to upgrade the black crystal before him, but it had no effect.

"Is that so?"

Leo Ray nodded slightly, as if he had expected it.

It was no surprise, since his talent could not affect damaged items, and according to the attribute column, this Dark Elf Tear couldn't be repaired.

In other words, to him, this thing was no different from an ordinary stone.

"If that's the case, why do Ruth and the others go through so much trouble to find this thing? Do they not know that this Elf Tear is irreparable?"

Leo Ray slightly tilted his head, looking at Ruth's fair face still full of hope and excitement, feeling puzzled.

"Besides, as Light Half-Elves, why would they travel such a long distance to find a broken Dark Elf Tear? What does this have to do with their tribe's survival?"

"Well, since it's clear this thing is of no use to us and poses no threat, it should naturally be given to Ruth and the others."

Thinking this, Leo Ray nodded to Xiao Jing, indicating for her to hand over the black crystal ball to Ruth.

"Many thanks, Your Majesty of the Humans!"

As Ruth eagerly took the crystal ball, her delicate face was full of excitement and joy, she involuntarily said, "Now our tribe members can escape the vortex of destruction!"

Beside Ruth, Mallen and other Light Half-Elves also appeared extremely excited, some of the youngest among them even began to cry tears of joy.

"Your Excellency Ruth, I must remind you, this item seems to have lost its original function and cannot be repaired."

Looking at the ecstatic Light Half-Elves, Leo Ray slightly frowned, reminding them.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty of the Humans, but this doesn't affect the outcome. As long as we take this back, everything will be resolved!"

Ruth carefully secured the black crystal ball, apologetically said to Leo Ray, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty of the Humans, I know there must be many questions in your heart, but until our people are completely safe, I cannot disclose the specifics, I ask for your understanding."

"You are too kind, Your Excellency Ruth, helping you all is my duty, after all, you stood by us in our most dangerous times."

Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, smiled, "We will never forget this bond."

"Neither will we."

Ruth nodded solemnly, "We look forward to the day we meet again, then, I will surely reveal everything to you!"

"I look forward to that day as well."

With that, Leo Ray began to walk towards the outside of the temple and said, "Time is of the essence, let's leave now."

Not long after, the group, as swift as the wind, had already returned to Ice Stone City.

"Everyone, currently, this Land of Divine Favor cannot be accessed to the depths of the Outer Region, but I will escort you as far as I can."

Leo Ray looked at Ruth and the other Light Half-Elves, saying, "Besides, consider these as parting gifts to help you return to your tribe faster."

After saying that, Leo Ray flipped his palm, a pouch filled with a few Tier 6 and a large number of Tier 5 speed-enhancing magic medicines, as well as energy recovery magic medicines, appeared, and he placed it into Ruth's delicate hands.

After a series of upgrades earlier, Leo Ray had accumulated quite a stock of these auxiliary types of magic medicines.
