Chapter 361: Chapter 361

Yuyu stood at the entrance, shielding herself from the sunlight with her hand, gazing at the camp: "This camp is so calm, how can we build up something big?"

Lin Rui went up to take down the transaction list hanging at the camp gate, and said calmly: "Don’t you think it’s strange? For several days in a row, no high-level prisoners have appeared in the camp."

Yuyu leaned over, looked at the words on the transaction list, and lazily asked: "Isn’t it possible that this calm is actually normal? The fact that you could previously buy an epic sword master from the camp was abnormal!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuyu’s lazy demeanor stiffened instantly, and she exclaimed: "What the heck! What kind of prisoner can be sold for 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins!"

Lin Rui also immediately looked at the list

[Today’s items: 2, time till next refresh: 10 hours 27 minutes]

[Item one: A human ’can’ that even a cook can’t cut through, it’s so tough us Ogres can’t even bite it. Price: 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins]

[Item two: Another human ’can’, still too tough for us Ogres to bite, and won’t soften even when stewed. Price: 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins.]

Having bought prisoners many times, Lin Rui had already come to understand this greedy Ogre guard a bit.

Generally speaking, when he describes something as skinny, it means it’s a unit not having physique as its main attribute.

If it has a strong or choking smell, it’s usually casters with powerful elemental attributes.

While the most common ’cans’ usually refer to some kind of heavy armor units.

Lin Rui decisively paid 20,000 Spirit Crystal Coins. Updates are released by novel·fire.net

Yuyu clicked her tongue with envy: "The face of a rich person, really both ugly and enviable. I think for ages before spending 20,000 Realm Coins on cosmetics, and you open mystery boxes with 20,000 Spirit Crystal Coins without batting an eye."

Lin Rui laughed and said: "Then let’s work hard together to expand the territory, and once the town’s population reaches ten thousand, you, the Priestess of the Saint Hall of Fortune, will profit greatly just from blessing every day."

"Hah!" Yuyu rolled her eyes: "Is this a rich-person’s universal skill? Drawing big pictures!"

As they spoke, two soldiers, over two meters tall and as sturdy as iron towers, were thrown out.

Both of them, with their armor, must weigh a ton and a half, landing with a thud that made the ground tremble, dust flying everywhere.

Yuyu jumped in fright; as a Priestess, she’s not strong in physique, merely 1.74 meters tall, a slender and graceful maiden who looked even more fragile in front of these giants.

When she went up to open the soldiers’ helmet for a glance, she instantly exclaimed: "What! Who buys prisoners, expecting to get Tier Five Disaster-level soldiers! Would any force sell such slaves?"

Lin Rui, in contrast, was overjoyed: Two Tier Five Disaster-level Celestial Punishment Fear Knights!

For the territory, this simply meant double the good news.

Paired with the territory’s [Epic Wonder Building: Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall], it resulted in two more epic-level Holy Grail Knights for the domain.

Lin Rui instantly treated both of them for their conditions.

Disaster-level or World Destruction Level soldiers are highly arrogant since advancing one more tier places them in the epic category.

These two prisoners, after being treated, had very cold attitudes, seeming even disdainful of the town-level scale of the settlement.

One Celestial Punishment Fear Knight clenched his fist, cold lightning appearing around his armguard, speaking fiercely: "Even though you ransomed us, don’t think you can command us. Powerful Celestial Punishment Fear Knights aren’t something your small-town territory deserves."

The other Celestial Punishment Fear Knight pulled down his helmet, his face hidden within, revealing only blue eyes with a rebellious demeanor: "If we’re in a good mood, we might grant you some goodwill, helping you slaughter a batch of monster enemies, but you must restrain yourself, and especially don’t imagine commanding us!"

Yuyu cheerfully put away the golden mirror in her hand and giggled: "Ooh, something fun to watch again. Weren’t the last ones this arrogant that Idiot Dragon? Go, go, start fighting, start fighting."

A Celestial Punishment Fear Knight cast a cold glance at her, saying: "First and last chance. If you still don’t understand what respect is next time, we will flatten this place and leave."

Lin Rui responded with a nonchalant smile, saying: "If you wish to leave the territory, you can do so at any time as long as you can bear the consequences."

"Huh? A mere village lord dares to boast!" one Celestial Punishment Fear Knight was still angry.

The other was already stunned, tapping his helmet as his voice trembled: "Should you perhaps look up?"

The Celestial Punishment Fear Knight who had his head tapped was impatient but looked up, only to freeze, his mouth opening wide enough to fit a durian.

As he looked up, the first thing he saw was the towering Goddess Hall, high above and shrouded in clouds, with the Divine Statue both holy and noble, and lightning from the distant Titan Sky Mountain seeming to scatter around it.

Beneath the goddess statue lay a vast and grand palace, the Epic Wonder Building: Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall, with its gigantic structure and vast area leaving a deep impression.

Especially on the wide plaza in front of the palace, crowded with high-tier knights beside a hundred-meter tall Angel Statue.

There were even three epic-level knights among them, watching with keen interest.

And just a few hundred meters away on a high slope, a terrifying woman holding a long sword stood calmly with hands behind her back.

But what wasn’t calm was the scarlet long sword in her hand, its sharp sword intention seemingly slicing through the entire space, the area around the sword appearing to be missing an arc due to its presence.

Looking up from the low point beside the Ogre Prisoner Camp, it was like a blood-red new moon hanging in the air, illuminating the space in front of the Silver Tower.

The two Celestial Punishment Fear Knights swallowed nervously in unison.

Given this terrifying scene, they wouldn’t dare leave even with muddled brains.

If they leave at this moment, they’ll probably be chopped to pieces in the next.

Both knights simultaneously knelt on one knee: "In the name of Celestial Punishment, I, Celestial Punishment Fear Knight Louis, pledge allegiance to the honorable Lord, becoming the sharp blade in the Lord’s hand from now on."

"In the name of Celestial Punishment, I, Celestial Punishment Fear Knight Ryo, pledge allegiance to the honorable Lord, becoming the sharp blade in the Lord’s hand from now on."

"Tsk!" Yuyu pouted: "Such wasted drama. You two aren’t as tough as that Idiot Dragon for sure. Though an idiot, it kept provoking despite getting its heart pierced through."

Hence it received the most brutal beating since the establishment of the territory.

Lin Rui lightly nodded to them, saying, "You will be grateful for your decision right now."

Regarding the loyalty of knights, Lin Rui was the least concerned.

As long as they entered the [Epic Wonder Building: Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall], through the second level Path of the Holy Grail trial, even knights from other forces would become part of the Golden Pansy Domain, and would loyally stay as sworn companions, never betraying.

As they entered [Holy Grail Champion Divine Hall], Yuyu suddenly reacted and turned to Lin Rui saying, "I suddenly realized, can’t you form the Holy Grail Knight Order now? Your [Knight’s Heart] recruitment scroll can recruit a Knight King, and from transactions and the Golden Balance, you can trade for Celestial Punishment Fear Knights. Doesn’t it form an upgrade chain, allowing you to continuously expand the Holy Grail Knight Order members?"

She widened her eyes: "A whole team formed of Epic Knights. That would be amazing."

She collected herself, amazed at the realization.

Everyone become an epic-level knight in that case! We must prepare for the final battle and set out to reap a wave of rewards before an impending conflict.
