Chapter 105 Red Lava Fruits
"Come, take the leaf..." The princess said again as Aldric fell silent.
The latter hesitated somewhat.
"Your Highness, you will lose if it is given to me," he said.
If they were indeed working together, various results were natural.
However, here he was helping because he was being paid by her with real money.
"All I need is one, having two is also meaningless and I am too rich to sell treasures. If you use that leaf, it's more useful. You'll progress faster, which means I can keep asking for your help later," the princess replied.
She gave him a reasonable reason why he should accept the leaf, but he thought this was still unreasonable.
Couldn't the princess give it to her family, Prince Charles for example. However, she preferred him.
Unless she really thought only he could continue to help her because the others were not talented enough.
Feeling her seemingly impatient gaze waiting for him to take the leaf, he had no other choice but to take it.
When he held it, he immediately felt a special sensation.
In one second, what could one think of?
Probably two or three words at most.
However, right now he felt he could think of many things at once in one second.
A hundred words, it didn't matter at all.
One second seemed like a long time to his mind.
Actually since possessing the Genesis Core, his mind was indeed able to work much faster but not as fast as when he held the leaf.
"Ehhh..."
His expression changed as he felt his body become weak.
"Hungry," he said.
"Don't hold it too long or your body will fully digest the food in your stomach in no time," said Princess Charlotte.
Hearing that, Aldric quickly moved the leaf to his Space Artifact, not expecting such an effect.
At the same time, Princess Charlotte took out a green apple.
"Eat it, it can make you feel full again," she said, handing the green apple to him.
He took it without hesitation as his mind became muddled with such a hungry stomach.
He even sent it to his mouth directly.
Without taking a bite, he gulped it down.
Only after that, did he feel comfortable.
Phew!
He let out a sigh of relief.
Feeling so hungry in this situation really made him panic.
Princess Charlotte was probably smiling behind her armor helmet.
After that, she also took the leaf, transferring it directly to her Storage Artifact.
"Your Highness, what are these red diamonds?" asked Aldric.
The red diamonds were the most abundant in the stone chest. Since all the things here were the best treasures of the Lava Giants given to the Lava Giant Boss, they must be of high value.
"They are not diamonds, but Red Lava Fruits, a very rare and expensive item. Although they don't look like fruit and being held will really feel like they are diamonds, they are really fruit. If you put them in your mouth, they will melt," Princess Charlotte replied.
"They are very useful for anyone with fire-type powers as they can enhance their talents. Do you want one? We can share."
"Mmm..." Aldric thought it was useless for him.
It was just that, he had been thinking of getting a fire-type Wheel of Life. Maybe he would get it someday, so he was quite interested in the fruit.
However, taking too much made him embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I'll take a little," he said, finally deciding to ask for a little.
"Not too little." Apparently, the princess rejected his wish for just a little.
She suddenly transferred half of the fruit and some weapons to a new ring and then put the ring directly into his clothes pocket.
After that, she moved the stone chest to her own Storage Artifact.

"Let's go, I'm afraid this cave will collapse," she said.
She took a step.
Aldric nodded, following her at the side.
The cave somehow began to vibrate faintly.
When they came out of the room, the vibrations became stronger so they quickened their pace.
They started running.
Coming out of the hallway, they jumped all the way.
Of course, they started to panic when the cave's vibrations became stronger.
Fortunately, they were much faster.
In a short time, they arrived at the mouth of the cave, which was still covered by the tree array.
Aldric waved his hand to remove the trees.
With one more leap, they were out of the cave.
BANG! BANG!
They landed hard because they jumped so hard.
There were still many Lava Giants outside the cave.
However, no more were seen fighting. Everyone had returned to their respective arks including Princess Charlotte's group members.
Aldric looked behind him, discovering that the enormous volcano was actually shaking.
It seemed to be about to erupt. Perhaps in a few hours, it will actually erupt.
He was not sure why it would erupt. Perhaps it was because there was some mechanism connecting the volcano to the stone chest seal.
Since they had already gotten what they wanted, this didn't matter anymore.
They jumped onto their ark which flew closer to them.
From the top of the ark, they could see everyone else, from the city lord to the Dortmund Family.
The family seemed to have only come to watch.
Until now, Aldric had seen no movement from them.
Perhaps they were aware of their lack of power.
Only, despite being aware of their lack of power, from Ramsey, Aldric could see jealousy and resentment.
'He can't accept ordinary people being superior to him, but why is he so serious. This is just a game. We're superior here, it doesn't mean anything.'
Aldric was still filled with doubts about this game so he couldn't say what was going on with the elites.
"Snow Goose, are you sure you want to keep that thing? You may be the most powerful in this town, but you know, there are many who want that thing out there. I'm sure they wouldn't mind traveling a long way for it."
Suddenly he heard the city lord's voice as he observed Ramsey.
His words surprised him quite a bit. He instantly turned his gaze towards him, finding him staring at Princess Charlotte with a gentle-looking smile.
Of course, anyone could tell that it was a threat from him.
It seemed that he had not completely given up.
