Chapter 179: Elven Underground Prison Dungeon

Remia smiled broadly, staring at Alex with unconcealable excitement as if the potion in his hand could wash away their argument.

She looked so stunning that Alex couldn’t lift his hand. He hovered his eyes on her pretty face for a few breaths before arching his head back. As he did, the unique taste went through his throat, slowly filling his mind.

Alex blinked his eyes, then parted his lips quite dazed, “That’s so tasty…” He couldn’t stop himself from taking another sip.

In fact, Alex took a few more as the unique taste of kiwi fruit sloshed in his mouth.

“You can try too, Stella,” Remia’s lips curved up more as Alex’s reaction was more than she had imagined.

After getting urged by the fairy princess, Stella used wind magic to take one potion too. She parted her lips while letting the wind feed her. Of course, it looked as lazy as it could get, yet Stella still maintained elegance, as if that was within her blood.

She took a blue potion. The taste was much different from all potions she had tasted beforehand. It was a taste of blueberry, much different from every consumable Stella had consumed in her life.

She closed her eyes, relishing it.

Stella’s reaction was different than Alex’s as she kept sticking to one potion. She took smaller sips, still remaining in one spot while her beloved extended his hands for more.

Of course, Remia didn’t mind Alex taking all her potions just to drink them. She even pushed a few more to his side.

Stella opened her eyes, “It’s blue, but it regenerates health.”

Remia chuckled, “Those are all health potions, after all. It’s my side project. I got that idea during Sara’s little tournament. It seems like I’ve managed to perfectly add flavor to the low health potions!”

Potions lacked taste. They were still highly used throughout the world for obvious reasons. In the beginning, all players were disappointed with their flavor. Of course, they got used to it over time.

And now, they no longer complained but just kept using them.

Alex laughed, “That’s so nice! If you manage to add flavor to all potions, you will make bank, Remia!”

Stella nodded.

The Avander World kept inviting and accepting players daily. Many low-level players had just begun their journey. If the forest fairies managed to sell Remia’s potions to them, they would become addicted to the taste.

Remia nodded, “Everyone loves them too… It’s just that I can add the flavor to health potions, and it has to be a low potion. If I try using the same method on better potions, they lose their quality, and the taste is also bad.

I have a long road ahead of me, but I like experimenting with new flavors! It’s also fine and stress relieving,” Remia clapped her hands, smiling widely at the couple.

Her smile was like sunshine, warming Alex and Stella.

But despite her appearance, Alex could see that something had been bothering Remia for a while. Perhaps, it was yet another villain that only the royal family was aware of.

He asked a few more questions about the potions, enjoyed them thoroughly, and then spoke about grave matters.

In the end, everyone here was an influential person. Stella surely would be able to bring chaos back to her winged tribe as her mother was the princess. Remia was exactly the princess, so she had access to all problems related to her tribe.

And Alex was a rising star, an owner of the lavish castle and land. If need be, he would be able to save forest fairies from going extinct should they face the impending massacre.

He wished for something like that to never happen, of course.

“I have many quests in my quest log, but I’m willing to shove them aside if there’s even a chance that I can help you and your people,” Alex spoke, his eyes flashing with determination.

Remia, as the woman in love, would always get relieved and motivated by Alex’s words and determined expression.

She contemplated for a while, then said, “It’s something that only the king of fairies knows… But since my father is gone and my siblings were ineligible for a throne, my mother learned about it.

There’s the Elven Underground Prison below our capital,” Remia shared the deepest secret of her tribe.

That prison was deeply sealed with no way out. The forest fairies were also informed that every prisoner was in a slumber, waiting for their long lifespans to exhaust themselves. Even better, the forest siphoned their vitality to heighten theirs, which was both blessing and a curse for the forest fairies.

For many years, it was more of a blessing, though. The capital was so blessed in nature that everyone loved to live here. Forest fairies had longer lifespans here, and their skills got many benefits here.

But now that the players had invaded the world, the forest fairies’ queen had an inkling that the curse soon would take over the blessing.

“My mother is not the rightful person to look over the seal… If my father was still here, he would be able to tell whether the villain found the seal and had his hands in it… Alas, that’s impossible…

My mother can only pray and believe in her instincts…” Remia bit her lips.

The villain, Dollar, was absent for a long time. If he had invaded the underground prison and used it to his advantage, it would be more than a massacre or catastrophe.

It would be an utter disaster.

He could poison the prisoners, use their lifespan to spread toxins in the forest fairies’ capital, then kill all weakened people.

If he got his hands on the level hundred queen, killing her, Dollar would level up so much he would probably shiver from excitement, to say nothing of the rewards of killing the forest fairies’ queen.

The system would reward him with money, bloodline, items, and even more.

Alex unconsciously clenched his hands, gritting his teeth as he imagined such a scene. Remia and her mother’s lives were the most important out of all people.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

But a few minutes after those words, as if Remia’s words were the trigger, the whole capital shook.

What came out left everyone terror-stricken, including the forest fairies’ queen. Yumia had never imagined such a scenario!

[The Elven Underground Prison Dungeon has awakened prematurely.]

“Hahaha!” Dollar’s laughter swept through the capital amidst the earthquakes of the seven magnitudes!

Alex promptly stood up as if his hero senses alarmed him. He ran to the balcony, looking down on the capital from the second-highest spot.

He immediately widened his eyes, gazing at the disaster that had been swallowing forest fairies one by one.

A little to the north from the middle of the capital, the earth whirlpool appeared. In the center, Alex saw the black hole. That was the door to the dungeon.

That phenomenon sucked all buildings, trees, and nature straight into the black hole, filling the prison’s content with the outside world…

Jumping from one crumbled house to another, Dollar laughed as he began killing forest fairies one by one.

They were utterly defenseless, drawn by the power beyond their understanding.

And after dying from Dollar’s sword, their bodies crumbled into experience points.

But in Dollar’s eyes, everyone could see the gold light.

Gold coins.

Money.

That was what drove the villain the most.
