Chapter 1359 - : Looted (1/2)
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.
