Chapter 1359: Looted
As the Natural Demiplane grew bigger and bigger, a lot of laborers were required for tasks such as growing plants, dredging canals, and repairing buildings. If nobody was responsible for such tasks, then the Demiplane would turn desolate, and the tiniest error might lead to abnormalities in the Demiplane. Therefore, the number of laborers had to be guaranteed.
Those Blood Elves were the best candidates. They fed on the power of blood, and didn’t need regular food. After their mana was sealed, the mana inside their body would be the source of their strength. They didn’t need any food, and as elves, they were very talented in art and architecture.
Those Blood Elves were perfect laborers. There was no need to worry whether they could cause any trouble in the Natural Demiplane.
Lin Yun would feel it if they did anything that wasn’t their responsibility. Besides, the original laborers in the Demiplane, who could not be kicked away, would be their foremen. Lord Shawn would train them in person. They couldn’t possibly cause any trouble.
After the Blood Elves were tamed, and the wealth in the city was looted, the empty city was left alone. In less than an hour, everything had been completed.
When the three forces’ teams arrived, they saw a city that was absolutely empty. It was almost like ruins where everybody had died.
Dalton solemnly gazed at everything around him. As a holy light mage, he detected that slaughters and deaths happened here before long, but there weren’t many deaths. More importantly, the lingering traces suggested that a lot of people had been here, but nobody had died except the Blood Elves…
A great number of Blood Elves had evaporated. Nobody knew how Lin Yun did it…
Not all the alchemy puppets survived the battle between them and the Blood Elves. However, the manufactured alchemy puppets weren’t lives, and wouldn’t birth any power of death after they were broken. Also, even if they were broken, their parts would all be collected. No remains would be left behind at all.
Dalton grimly and warily stood in silence, without saying a word.
Levis of the Storm Tower sniffed, and discovered something unusual too.
The stench of blood was very vague in the breeze. There was only the special smell of the Blood Elves that contained a bit of mana, and no smell of the blood of any creatures. Nothing was remembered by the wind in this place.
Mafa Merlin was even stronger than he was rumored to be. No, the rumors were absolutely wrong. Mafa Merlin controlled much greater power. Also, one Heaven Rank expert who didn’t belong to the Blood Elves took action. He was the beastman who carried a dragon bloodline under Mafa Merlin’s command.
Dalton and Levis were grave, but they were only impressed at Lin Yun’s capability. Danason, who was in the rear, was much more solemn. He even looked at Lin Yun with fear.
The Snake Tail Beast that followed Danason roared in a low voice. Only Danason, who had signed a contract with it, could understand it. A dozen seconds later, Danason couldn’t help but move away from Dalton. He looked at Lin Yun and the magic battleships with fear.
What a terrifying man. My Snake Tail Beast said that the city was destroyed by five strange iron warships. No, only three of them were deployed. They tore apart the city’s defenses very quickly. The lingering waves here suggest that Mafa Merlin has only been here for an hour.
Damn it, he has reduced a city of the Blood Elves to ruins in only an hour. How many things are hidden in the five iron warships? It was impossible to achieve that just with five warships. However, nobody else was here…
The Holy Light Alliance is in serious trouble. I heard that the Holy Light Alliance and the Thorny Crown had a conflict. Those rabid dogs seemed to be trying to eliminate the Thorny Crown while it had internal issues. They also wanted to destroy Mafa Merlin’s Gilded Rose because it’s associated with the Thorny Crown. However, the way I see it, they’re only tempted by the Gilded Rose’s wealth…
Dalton looks so awful right now. He must’ve realized it too. The Holy Light Alliance’s team in this place couldn’t have conquered the city in an hour. Even a group of beasts controlled by my Snake Tail Beast couldn’t have done it, either.
Supposedly, the four forces were going to conquer the city together, but by the time the other three forces arrived, the city had already been conquered. The atmosphere was rather weird. Lin Yun didn’t care what they were thinking. His purpose was to intimidate them.
The Holy Light Alliance, the Storm Tower, and the Chester Family were all famous forces. The Gilded Rose, on the other hand, was just an outsider from the Andlusa Kingdom and a mere alchemy store. Because the Holy Light Alliance was clearly hostile, he needed to intimidate those people.
Because the relics were associated with the 73rd God, and could’ve been the place where he was reborn, the most important thing at this moment was to find important leads about the 73rd God. He couldn’t waste his time on those people, and certainly not the rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance…
“Sir Danason, the city has already fallen. No Blood Elves will show up here anytime soon. About the entrance of the relics…”
After Lin Yun casually said that, Danason instantly put on a smile.
“I didn’t know that Sir Merlin was so strong. I thought it would take a long time to conquer the city. This is great. Just let me find the entrance of the relics.
“The beast that my ancestor contracted gave me one of its scales, which can resonate with the power inside the relics. I believe we’ll find the entrance of the relics soon enough.”
Danason took out a triangular scale. There was no telling what kind of beast the scale belonged to, but it contained weird and chaotic power. Lin Yun’s eyes glittered. He recognized that the scale did carry the aura of gods. Or rather, the aura was a mixture of a god’s blood and soul power.
Although the aura was quite vague, it suggested that the beast had once been exposed to the power of gods and so seriously affected that even its bloodline had changed.
As Danason took out the scale, the Snake Tail Beast next to him didn’t seem to be very comfortable. It roared and stepped back, not daring to approach the scale.
Danason left to search for the entrance to the relics, and the people of the Storm Tower and the Holy Light Alliance took a rest in the city.
Lin Yun returned to his magic battleships, and left the city to them. Levis found an empty building, and rested with the Storm Tower’s team, making preparations for the exploration of relics. The Chester Family was busy looking for the entrance. The people of the Holy Light Alliance, on the other hand, searched the city quietly.
After a tour in the city, all mages of the Holy Light Alliance stopped. Dalton looked at what his men had looted with such a terrible expression as if a squid had sprayed black water on his face. Almost 10 Heaven Rank mages had searched the city, but all the materials they found were ordinary. The only good material they found contained dark power. It had been dug out from the soil underneath a building…
They probably wouldn’t have noticed that piece of metal which contained dark power if they hadn’t been holy light mages…
Dalton walked to the window, and glared at the magic battleships that were hiding in the sky.
What a greedy bastard. No wonder he conquered the city in such a hurry. All the Blood Elves and wealth have been looted. Mafa Merlin is truly a leech. He’s looted the entire city so quickly.
We broke the defenses of so many cities, but never dared to conquer them. This is the only city that can be conquered, yet Mafa Merlin claimed all of its wealth. He’s indeed a heretic that’s even greedier than devils. Bloody idiot, just wait for it. You’ll have to spit out whatever you’ve swallowed when the relics are explored.
Dalton was so maddened. There were a lot of resources in the underground world that didn’t exist in Noscent. The wealth and resources in a city of Blood Elves could make a small force grow rich overnight. More importantly, those resources would be rare items after they were brought to Noscent. Any of them could be exchanged for wealth that was 10 times greater.
However, not a single mana crystal could be found. Even the Blood Elves were gone too. It was impossible to interrogate them, and figure out what happened.
There were experts among the Blood Elves. They had only broken the defenses of cities, and never dared to continue fighting after the defenses were shattered. If they crossed the line, the top experts of Blood Elves might come.
This was the only city where they could loot wealth, yet everything was gone at this moment. It was lucky that he wasn’t maddened to death…
Not far away from the Holy Light Alliance’s temporary base, Levis listened to his subordinates’ report, and put on a mocking smile.
The idiots of the Holy Light Alliance haven’t changed at all. Dalton, that greedy leech under the disguise of holy light. I knew that he would loot the city. He already looted a lot of things in secret. Did he think we didn’t know?
If the dragons of the underground world weren’t so united as to fight the war together, and the Blood Elves had no time to deal with us, our plan might have been affected by his stupidity.
This is just a city of Blood Elves. How much wealth can you find? As soon as we enter the relics where the power of gods was spotted, anything there will be much more valuable than a city of Blood Elves.
Besides, they already know the way to enter the underground world. With the Realization Spell, the Holy Light Alliance can enter the underground world anytime. The resources here aren’t going anywhere. Why are they so hasty?
Meanwhile, Danason received the same report. He put on a mocking smile, and left the matter alone. The Holy Light Alliance and the Chester Family had never been close. It was never a friend to the Holy Light Alliance, either. Danason wouldn’t have taken Dalton with him if he could’ve entered the underground world without him.
As for Lin Yun, he was even less bothered. He was busy identifying the materials he looted from the underground world. Many of the materials had never appeared in Noscent. His alchemists didn’t know what they could be used for. Experimenting on them one by one would be a huge waste of time, so Lin Yun simply marked the materials, and gave them a simple introduction. His alchemists could take care of the rest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During those three days, the war between the dragons and the Blood Elves was getting fiercer and fiercer. The Blood Elves had pissed off too many races over the years. The half-beastmen, who had the greatest population, seized the chance to take advantage of the chaos.
The wolves, whose population ranked among the top among half-beastmen, seized the opportunity to attack the Blood Elves. They looked a lot like werewolves, but they were a different species. Seeing that many pure-blood dragons and subdragons were attacking the Blood Elves, they couldn’t wait any longer.
The Blood Elves were attacked because they offended the descendant of a powerful pure-blood dragon. How could the wolves just stand by and watch? It was a great opportunity for revenge. The Blood Elves had killed a lot of them decades earlier. They wanted to kill the Blood Elves for revenge…
The wolves attacked first. The centaurs, who were closer to the Blood Elves’ desert, saw that the Blood Elves were surrounded, and thought it was a good opportunity for revenge too. The Blood Elves had caught them, and used them as mounts hundreds of years earlier…
The centaurs took action too…
Then, some minotaur tribes, claiming that the Blood Elves captured and insulted a lot of beautiful girls of their tribe, came for revenge too…
Hearing that, Xiuban couldn’t stop cursing. Damn it, the female minotaurs, with their hooves and big heads, were heavier than the fattest human ever. However perverted the Blood Elves were, they couldn’t have been interested in the girls of that tribe at all…
The more chaotic the situation was, the more satisfied Lin Yun became. With those people leading the charge, it was fine that he conquered a small city in the rear. He even asked Reina to show up in front of the pure-blood dragons.
Then, it was confirmed that the Blood Elves insulted and attacked Reina, and that they wanted to kill her and hang her head on their city gate as a trophy.
Then, the bad-tempered pure-blood dragons burst into fury. After detecting Reina’s bloodline power, all the pure-blood dragons had bloodshot eyes. She carried the purest dragon bloodline, and she had just reached adulthood. Her bloodline could almost compare to the legendary first Frost Dragon in history. Yet, the Blood Elves wanted to kill her, and hang her head as a trophy. That was outrageous.
Damn it, kill those perverts…
Therefore, the pure-blood dragons, which were never easy to find, and were said to be going extinct, all gathered around. More than 20 of them showed up.
Four of them were in level 49, and nine were in level 48…
Having been surrounded and attacked, the royal family of the Blood Elves burst into fury. In fact, after confirming that what the pure-blood dragons said was true, the royal family killed hundreds of Blood Elves that were involved in that.
What a bunch of idiots. A descendant whose bloodline level was higher than that of their parents meant that their bloodline had been awakened to that of their ancestors. She was so important to the pure-blood dragons, yet those Blood Elves dared to attack her. Were they not scared of a war of retaliation? More importantly, they failed to kill her, so they should all die for their stupidity…
A pure-blood dragon whose bloodline had been awakened was as significant to the pure-blood dragons as the Void Blood Pool was to the Blood Elves. The latter would go crazy if anyone touched the Void Blood Pool.
All in all, the pure-blood dragons believed that Reina denied everything only because she had only awakened her bloodline, but not her memories. They thought she was just an ignorant kid.
The stubborn pure-blood dragons gave Reina a bunch of things for her safety, including more than 20 summoning scales. The pure-blood dragons below level 47 were too embarrassed to offer their scales, so they gave away other resources that were useful to dragons. Then, a black dragon offered a centaur slave who was a great cook…
Reina returned with a great number of gifts. She was quite shocked. She had gone back so easily only because the pure-blood dragons thought that the frontline was too dangerous for such a young and promising junior.
Damn it, if the frontline was dangerous, why were the subdragons, who had poor bloodline power, charging forward like cannon fodder?
Lin Yun was willing to accept all the gifts that Reina had been given except the 20 summoning scales.
The summoning scales all belonged to level-48 and level-49 pure-blood dragons. If he used them, and the dragons were summoned, they would find that he was not a dragon, and think that their junior had been killed. Then, they might kill him to avenge her…
