Chapter 155: Chapter 129: The Divine Official Arrives!

After Lin Ke dealt with the soldiers’ issues, he detoured back to Azaenn Castle to check on Fulon and Antova. Seeing they were still well, he returned to the front line.

At the corner of Azanen Wall, a man was sprawled on the ground, using his nails to scratch and draw on the wall bricks.

Lin Ke and his group bypassed him and went up the city wall.

"Young master, that Qing Cha..."

John whispered beside Lin Ke. With Butler Billy not around, only John was there to help Lin Ke with his troubles.

"Ignore him. If he’s really that devoted to love, he’ll relish it."

Lin Ke waved his hand.

"Hey! Young boy, you don’t understand love yet!" Lolita whistled from the side.

After whistling, she cuddled up to Knicks, then started rubbing Knicks’ soft, floppy ears and blowing into them: "Adorable and gentlemanly Mr. Rabbitman, do you want to try love?"

"I... I... I..." Knicks’ eyes were about to burst into tears again, and Lin Ke glared at Lolita: "Lolita, stop it!"

This Lolita always bullied Knicks. Knicks was so pure, so cute, and fluffy that he easily attracted the girls’ affection.

Lolita stuck her tongue out and made a face, hugging Knicks but refraining from further teasing.

After admonishing Lolita, Lin Ke didn’t have many ways to deal with her, especially since there were serious matters to attend to.

"Everyone, in the next battle, have Azanen’s people bring this." Lin Ke gazed at the distant battlefield, then took out paper packages wrapped in cowhide from the Space Ring.

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw this.

"Is this the gunpowder Granny Hisai made?" Lamiel asked.

Being fellow followers, they had naturally seen Granny Hisai on Ove’s plane.

"Yes, it provides everyone with some long-range attack means, but be mindful of the timing ... There’s no time or conditions for training now; you’ll have to learn on the battlefield."

Lin Ke explained briefly, handing the Space Ring to John, and then sighed: "Everyone, you’ve all witnessed it, right... the power of the legendary."

With these words, everyone fell silent.

Legendary.

This is the strongest in Naseng.

Everyone here, including Lin Ke, was facing a legendary being for the first time.

At that moment, the legendary’s aura covered the entire scene, though not targeting anyone specifically.

But they all felt that if it targeted someone, that pressure would be enough to crush them to dust.

Whether it was the second-level John or the tenth-level Lamiel, no one was an exception.

But the state of that Legendary Giant Snake was strange, its imposing aura suppressing the whole field but not targeting its intended target, Lin Ke.

Otherwise, Lin Ke could have been killed instantly, without further ado.

And that unstoppable, wantonly arrogant stance was still unsettling to them.

If Princess Rica hadn’t used the Insomnia Emperor’s decree in the end, even the Great Wall Fortress could probably only resist slightly before being destroyed.

Indeed, Lin Ke had inquired, other than Lin Ke himself, no one noticed his disappearance, nor did anyone know the truth about the disappearance of the Legendary Giant Snake.

"...In the face of the legendary’s pressure, still being able to advance and retreat with me, I will surely not fail everyone!" Lin Ke solemnly scanned around, then hammered his right hand over his heart.

Hammering one’s heart with the right hand is a gesture of respect.

At this moment, the "leader" bloodline within Lin Ke’s mind gently swayed its branches, emitting a faint light.

The followers’ expressions stiffened, and they all knelt on one knee, then thumped their chests with their right hand.

Even the most mischievous Lolita did the same.

Seeing them kneeling on one knee, Lin Ke knew for sure now that these were the "never-betraying followers" mentioned by the system.

Even in the face of a legend, they thought to stand in front of him.

Such followers, Lin Ke would never let them down!

Just as Lin Ke and his followers were immersed in emotions, an inexplicable atmosphere suddenly enveloped the place.

Peaceful, gentle yet solemn, and majestic.

Lin Ke couldn’t help but look in the direction of Azaenn Castle.

On the open wilderness, a team was slowly making its way over.

Even from afar, one could see that this thousand-strong team was dazzlingly luxurious, their magic glows almost blinding.

Wealthy!

Lin Ke’s first reaction was that they were wealthy.

Which noble or lord is this, to be so rich?

Each one of them was clad in gold and silver, their magical equipment looking quite impressive, seemingly even wealthier than Count Akel!

Meanwhile, as they approached, the soldiers in the military camp along the way were also drawn in.

It’s uncertain whether they were attracted by the serene atmosphere or the overwhelming magic surge.

The person leading that group was a woman perfectly rounded and elegant.

Indeed, perfectly rounded and elegant.

Lin Ke saw her and felt that using "plump" wasn’t fitting, while "slender" seemed too poor.

Perfectly rounded and elegant fit best.

She wore a pure white Mage Robe, with a Priest’s hat, her skin fair and delicate, with long golden hair waving gently in the wind.

Moreover, she rode a tall, majestic white horse with a spiral horn on its head.

Unicorn!

"Looks like the Great Priest from the Divine Hall of Wealth is here..."

Laplace whispered in Lin Ke’s ear: "My father took me to see her once, and he ended up owing her over half a million in debt, Lin Ke, be careful..."

Over half a million!

Lin Ke’s pupils shook, and he nodded lightly: "Okay..."

And as the Divine Hall of Wealth’s people approached, that Great Priest floated gently off the unicorn, spreading her arms wide.

Her robe moved without wind, the gold coin patterns on it falling off, glowing gold as they danced around her slowly.

At the same time, she let out a solemn and majestic prayer, and the Divine Officials below also chanted loudly:

"Praise the Goddess!"

"You hold the key to wealth..."

"You are the mother of gold coins..."

"Gold coins are life... Gold coins are everything..."

"Without gold coins, there’s no sense of security..."

"Without gold coins, there’s no freedom!"

"Gold coins are everything!"

"In Naseng, there’s only one disease, and that’s poverty!"

"With money, even the dead can grind the mill!"

"...Oh, praise the Goddess!"

As the colloquial prayers continued, golden radiance showered down, and all the soldiers were bathed in the golden light.

Lin Ke, as a professional, keenly sensed that his pockets of gold and silver coins seemed to cheer slightly.

What the heck?!

Lin Ke immediately covered them, squinting at the figure mid-air, his gaze shifting to vigilant.

Good heavens, lusting after my money?

I’ve already inherited almost thirty thousand in debts, and now this?

Dream on.

Though filled with vigilance, Lin Ke wore a joyous expression.

The Great Priest glimpsed Lin Ke, initially seeing his adorable smile, her lips curled slightly.

But witnessing his unconscious wallet-covering action, her smile twitched.

This Great Priest appeared only a few years older than Fulon.

Announcing her presence, the Great Priest slowly drifted towards Lin Ke.

"Greetings, honorable Count of Azanen, Grand Commander of the Great Wall Fortress. I am the Great Priest ’Xiangnai’ of the Divine Hall of Wealth, sixteenth level. May the Goddess bless you."

Xiangnai nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Xiangnai? Why not Chanel?

Lin Ke internally retorted but outwardly smiled in return: "Hello, Sister Xiangnai. On behalf of the Great Wall Fortress’ garrison, I welcome your arrival!"

Calling her sister immediately shortened the distance between them.

But Xiangnai chuckled softly, removing her Priest’s hat as two furry ears popped from atop her head.

She said casually, "I’m one hundred thirty-five years old; I wonder how old the young Count is?"

Wow, a real old hag!

"Regardless of age, but Sister is so beautiful, looking around fifteen or sixteen... can’t I call you Sister?"

Lin Ke widened his eyes innocently.

John, standing behind, upon hearing Lin Ke’s childlike tone, instantly knew his young master was about to deceive someone.

"Haha, alright, then I’ll call you little brother."

Xiangnai laughed happily, then bent down to pinch Lin Ke’s cheeks.

The people below the wall couldn’t see this, but the soldiers on the wall were stunned.

Including Knicks and the others, all with wide eyes.

The stately Great Priest of the Goddess of Wealth, a sixteenth-level powerhouse, actually... actually teased their commander??
