Chapter 279: Chapter 277: Visitors from the Dwarf Kingdom
When Lin You returned to his territory, it was already near dusk.
Traveling and the secret realm battle took him more than half a day.
And as the lords returned, news from the large secret realm spread like a hurricane, swiftly throughout the Holy Sanctuary and various countries.
"Damn! All those who entered the secret realm actually got an SSS-level species secret treasure!?"
"Damn it! If I had known, I would have risked everything to get there."
"Ahhh, I hate it! I almost entered the secret realm but missed it!"
"I also arrived just as the entrance closed, a huge loss."
"An SSS-level secret treasure, how much is that worth? Those dozens of lucky bastards probably laugh even in their dreams."
"That’s insane! They ranked ninth among the lords of the Ten Thousand Realms?"
"I heard it’s because they had three big shots carrying them, which is how they got the rewards."
The feelings of the Primordial Realm lords right now can be sumd up in one phrase.
And that’s sour envy.
Entering a dungeon casually and getting an SSS-level secret treasure along with ten Territory Essences.
This was an enormous resource they couldn’t even imagine before.
That’s an SSS-level secret treasure!
You need to clear a personal secret realm of the sa level or kill a Lord Demon to possibly obtain one.
You can imagine how difficult it is to acquire.
Many lords are still using secret treasures below C-level, A-level is hard to even think about, let alone SSS-level?
So soon, the Holy Sanctuary sparked a buying frenzy.
Those lords with so capital announced they wanted to buy the SSS-level secret treasures from them or inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of those who ca out of the large secret realm.
As for how they would obtain the secret treasures from them, that remains unknown.
But no matter what.
Those dozens of surviving lords were quite lucky to latch onto a big leg and gain such massive rewards.
And as they spread the word.
Lin You’s na gradually spread among the circle of Tier Seven lords.
Especially when they heard he overpowered Man Shan in the secret realm and thwarted lords from various realms, it caused a stir.
Various speculations and discussions about the appearance of the Great Emperor almost filled the Holy Sanctuary Center and the Floating Islands.
Making the whole archipelago area more lively than usual.
But.
None of this had anything to do with Lin You for the mont.
Back in his territory, he quickly bound the new secret treasure with Symbiotic Moss.
Then he used the Territory Essence he just obtained to raise another Cannibal Flower with Undying Domain skills to Tier Eight.
In an instant, he had two Tier Eight plants other than the royal family.
He prioritized upgrading the Cannibal Flower because the Immortal Flower it summons cannot surpass its own level.
To resurrect a Tier Eight Immortal Flower, it must first level up to Tier Eight.
This way, he could maximize his group battle strength.
Then he checked the remaining Territory Essences, there were eight left, most of which were from his good fortune in killing lords in the Divine Hall Secret Realm.
Even his Magic Energy had increased to over 17 million, which counts as a substantial fund.
Overall.
His trip to the Secret Realm yielded very rich rewards.
Except for the mysterious giant hand that inexplicably appeared in the Divine Hall Secret Realm...
"Could it be suppressing sothing?"
Lin You frowned, his gaze solemn.
Although he only glanced at it hastily at the ti.
He could still estimate the size of the giant hand through visual distance, at least ten thousand ters high.
And with just a glance, his blood surged wildly, nearly causing him to faint on the spot.
Even with the Great Emperor, he never had such a feeling.
And that was just one hand!
Who knows how terrifying the owner of that hand might be, possibly effortlessly crushing a realm.
Of course.
This was just Lin You’s random guess.
He was still too far from that level, and the more his strength increased, the smaller he felt.
Along with a deep sense of powerlessness.
Especially today when he encountered the true form of Celestial Demon, this feeling was magnified infinitely.
The Seventy-Two Celestial Demons rank tenth, already capable of intimidating so many Great Emperors alone, not daring to act rashly.
How terrifying could those ranked higher be?
He couldn’t imagine it, nor could he conceive of it.
"Lord, are you inside?"
Just then, Xu Zhong’s call interrupted his thoughts from outside the territory.
"Co in."
Lin You glanced around, directly letting Cyan Rattan make way for him.
Before long, Xu Zhong hastily entered the territory with a notebook and ca up to him.
"Greetings, Lord."
"Sothing you need?"
Lin You asked directly.
"It’s about opening the airline," Xu Zhong answered respectfully. "Several lords from the duchies sent people by airship today around noon, saying they wanted us to extend the airline to their area."
"Oh? Where are these lords from?"
"Most are from areas near the airline, but there’s one quite unique, claiming to be from the Dwarf Kingdom."
"Dwarf Kingdom?" Lin You was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the Dwarf Kingdom is close to the Elf Empire, built within the volcanic Black Stone Mountains. This ti they’re here, seemingly for our territory’s Dwarf Tribe."
"Are they here to find Mageon and the others..."
Lin You’s brow gradually furrowed.
The Elf Empire is the center of the continent.
While the Holy Radiance Empire is positioned closer to the Western Wilderness.
Traveling from such a distant place, their power must be extraordinary, or they must have used ultra-long-distance teleportation.
Either way, they seem to co with ill intentions.
Is it possible that tribal conflict has brought them seeking revenge, or they’re here to summon Mageon and the others back to the Kingdom?
Indeed.
Mageon ntioned earlier.
The War God’s Hamr represents the War God’s will, and only one can exist.
Only when the bearer falls will the War God reclaim it, waiting for the next creator.
Could it be that they are here to seize the War God Hamr to consolidate royal power?
There’s indeed a possibility!
"Did that dwarf say anything else?"
Lin You asked again.
"Well...he seed to say he was from the Dwarf Kingdom, Dark Spear Tribe."
Dark Spear Tribe?
Lin You pondered for a mont.
He had heard Mageon say before that the Dwarf Kingdom is ruled by the Black Iron Tribe, skilled in command and governance.
While the Dark Spear Tribe is the main support of the Dwarf Kingdom’s combat power, their fighting ability is the strongest among all tribes.
And each tribe has its own specialties.
For instance, Mageon and the Hamr Tribe’s forging abilities are unmatched by other tribes.
If the ruling Black Iron Tribe were the ones who visited, he could understand.
But why would it be the Dark Spear Tribe?
"Let’s go, take
to see!"
Imdiately, Lin You instructed Xu Zhong to lead the way, leaving the territory in haste and heading towards Yellow Sand City.
Before long.
He arrived at the city’s reception hall, and sure enough, from afar he saw a team of well-equipped dwarves carrying long spears standing outside, with a large crowd of residents watching from a distance.
Walking through the crowd into the reception hall, he heard Mageon’s voice from inside.
"You an to say, the clans have started internal conflict again?"
It seed Mageon had received the news and ca ahead.
But judging from the situation, the atmosphere seed less tense than he imagined, though still not great.
Without much thought, Lin You walked straight in.
Upon sight, standing together were Xue Changgui and Mageon, with an unfamiliar dwarf, looking slightly older than Mageon, carrying a long spear across from him.
"Lord!"
Xue Changgui imdiately greeted Lin You upon seeing him.
Mageon and the dwarf who were conversing also glanced over.
"Lin You, you arrived just in ti." Seeing Lin You, Mageon also approached him, "Let
introduce you, this is my kinsman, Lei Zhe Dark Spear, currently the Warrior Commander of the Dark Spear Tribe."
"Ah, it’s Mageon’s kinsman. Welco, welco."
Lin You smiled faintly, secretly appraising the newcor.
Lei Zhe Dark Spear, upon hearing this, curiously said, "You’re the lord here?"
"Yes, that’s ." Lin You nodded, "May I ask why you’ve traveled thousands of miles from the Dwarf Kingdom?"
"He’s here to summon our Hamr Tribe back."
Mageon interjected from the side.
Indeed.
It’s for this matter.
Looks like his guess was correct.
Lin You’s mind cleared, though his expression remained unchanged as he looked at Mageon, "What about you, what’s your plan?"
Though the Hamr Tribe is nominally his people, he couldn’t interfere with their choice to stay or go.
Moreover, he and Mageon could be considered friends; if Mageon truly wanted to leave, he wouldn’t stand in the way.
Unexpectedly, Mageon snorted coldly, "I don’t want to go back. All these years they didn’t think of us, now they suddenly rush over, isn’t it just for the War God Hamr?"
Each tribe within the Dwarf Race has many small branches.
And the branch Mageon belongs to is the one that lost the power struggle, hence had to leave the Dwarf Kingdom to survive elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, this departure lasted over a hundred years.
The Dwarf Kingdom has likely long forgotten this branch, hasn’t it?
This is probably why Mageon is upset.
If not for successfully forging the Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact, the War God’s Hamr, the Kingdom likely wouldn’t have thought of them, let alone sent soone over.
"Mageon, you should know the significance of the War God Hamr to our Dwarf Race," Lei Zhe said urgently.
"Now the Kingdom is in turmoil; without it, the clans cannot unite, and no one can govern them. Surely you don’t wish to see so many kin dying in slaughter?"
"This..."
Mageon opened his mouth, seeming hesitant.
The Hamr Tribe prefers forging over fighting; they cannot bear to see so many kin die.
But returning like this would feel like betraying the ancestors who struggled to lead them away from the Kingdom.
In the end, he could only look to Lin You for help.
Lin You naturally knew what he wanted to say, so he smiled faintly, "Decide for yourself; whatever decision you make, I’ll support you."
Through their conversation, he largely understood the situation and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because whether Mageon stays or goes, it benefits him either way.
If Mageon eventually becos the king of the Dwarf Kingdom, then he would establish a long-lasting friendship with the Dwarf Kingdom, greatly benefiting his territory’s future developnt.
