Chapter 166: Chapter 138: The Powerful Eldest Prince and the Dark Maiden

After Lin Ke became Swain, he incidentally emitted an aura from the Staff of Annihilation.

Though it was just a moment, it startled Ove outside.

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning struck, and Ove appeared by the window, looking uncertainly at the "Swain" standing before the table.

"Teacher, it’s me." A husky and magnetic voice rang out.

"I know, Little Lin Ke, why did you just have a kind of legendary pressure?!" Ove was shocked, circling around Lin Ke, observing him up and down: "Your voice has changed too!"

"But my height can’t change... Well, teacher, this might be my trump card."

Lin Ke looked at Ove, who nodded lightly: "Alright, I’ll seal my memory, so I won’t know about this in the future."

Lin Ke nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

Calculating, this was already the second time Ove had sealed his memory; the first was regarding his talent, and the second was now.

Lin Ke considered that perhaps in the future, some secrets shouldn’t be completely revealed to Ove, to avoid sealing them repeatedly, it might be better not to know.

But often, the things he obtained needed to be shown to Ove to see if there were any hidden dangers.

"Teacher, I’ll train the soldiers in the afternoon, and in the evening, let’s go to my ’research laboratory’! Let’s do some research."

Lin Ke proposed.

Because he now urgently wanted someone legendary!

"Lin Ke..." Ove quietly looked into Lin Ke’s eyes, feeling some heartache and guilt: "The Eldest Prince is too powerful..."

Maintaining the appearance of Swain, Lin Ke walked to the table, gazed at the scenery outside the window, and gripped the Staff of Annihilation tightly, his knuckles turning white: "I know, teacher, it’s alright."

"Alright." Ove sighed lightly, pursed his lips tightly, and transformed into lightning to leave.

Lin Ke knew Ove must be feeling guilty at this moment, guilty for not being able to protect Lin Ke.

"That Eldest Prince... I want to see what cards he holds..."

Lin Ke shed the guise of Swain, accompanied by the chattering Little Lucky, began searching for books in the study.

Most of the books praised legendary achievements or were knight novels and travel logs, with few being textbook-style literature.

Lin Ke had no choice but to find all the books related to the Moon Goddess Pantheon, Gula Royal Family, and the Eldest Prince, ending up with only six books.

After all, parchment was expensive, and ordinary people wouldn’t write books unless necessary.

"Bang."

Lin Ke hugged the books, placed them on the desk, and began to browse. The more he read, the more he understood about the Eldest Prince and the Gula Royal Family.

The Eldest Prince—Telang Gula, son of the Moon Goddess, the first son of the Insomnia Emperor, who followed him to conquer the world even when the Insomnia Emperor was still a prince.

A hundred years ago, he had already reached the level of twenty-five, a powerful legend. Currently known professions include [King of War], [Child of Light], and [Regent King].

Among them, level twenty-five corresponds to [King of War], [Child of Light] is already level twenty-one, and [Regent King] is level fifteen.

This was the result announced a hundred years ago.

This Eldest Prince inherited the "light" of the Insomnia Emperor and the "moonlight" of the Moon Goddess, with extremely powerful bloodlines.

With powerful strength, noble birth, and a strong background.

Such a powerful and noble existence was said to be exploring the vast Star Realm outside and did not know when he returned.

Lin Ke even found a book introducing the deity known as the "Dark Maiden."

The Dark Maiden, Benadonna Gula, was a deity of level twenty-one a hundred years ago, the Moon Goddess’s fourth offspring, and also her eldest daughter.

The Insomnia Emperor had four daughters in total, the eldest daughter being the Lady of Tides, the second daughter the Dark Maiden, the third daughter the [Mist Demoness], and the youngest daughter the [Tree Shepherdess], while all others were sons.

The now-fallen Lady of Tides was the most powerful, seemingly inheriting some tidal power from the Moon Goddess.

In Lin Ke’s view, it was the kind of gravitational pull the moon exerts on the Naseng Ocean.

And that Dark Maiden seemed to have inherited the "darkness" of the Insomnia Emperor and the "night" of the Moon Goddess, but also mastered the rules of slaughter, making her incredibly powerful.

Next, there were things like [Punishment Knight], [Dark Night Hunter], and God of Dawn...

These princes and princesses, due to their birth, had opportunities far exceeding their peers, able to attain professions almost perfectly matched to their bloodlines.

Lin Ke spent over two hours reading before he finished browsing through them all.

He let out a deep breath and closed the last book titled "The Redemption of the Dark Maiden."

Then, he rubbed his cheeks, finished the milk that was on the desk at some unknown time, and immediately got up to walk outside, looking resolute and decisive.

He was running out of time!

......

Centered around Azaenn Castle, with the y-axis pointing north and the x-axis pointing east, several buildings with identical appearances stood in the third quadrant of the coordinate system.

They were named Linke Paper Mill, Fulon Paper Mill, Antova Paper Mill, and Garoce Paper Mill, all built in a row.

At the edge, there was also a glass workshop that strictly screened its personnel.

One by one, workers moved in and out, carrying various finished paper products or plants, while water continuously flowed in from a creek and out the other side.

The glass workshop was tightly guarded, and no one knew what was happening inside.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

A bronze bell stood between the workshops, and at noon, an older woman rang the bell.

"Time to eat! Time to eat!" The woman’s loud voice was still overpowered by the bell.

Hearing the three bell chimes, workers began wrapping up their tasks.

Then they went to the wooden cabinet at the door to get their meal trays and forks, chatting and laughing in groups as they headed to a place called the "canteen."

"Today’s weather is nice! I wonder what Old Jerry cooked today!"

"Haha, probably stir-fried meat again, just don’t know what kind. Last time, it was fried with lucky flowers, and it tasted awful."

"Speaking of this stir-fried meat... our Young Master Lin Ke is really amazing! To invent such a delicacy!"

"That’s right; our Young Master Lin Ke is the most capable and intelligent person in all of Azanen!"

A few village women, arm in arm, jokingly made their way to the canteen, while some men conversed in a similar manner.

"I heard Young Master Lin Ke was a force to be reckoned with on the front lines!"

"And he was with our People’s Knight Order as well! These lads from the People’s Knight Order are all from Azanen!"

"People—why is it called the People’s Knight Order? I think Invincible Tyrannosaurus Knight Order sounds best."

"Rubbish Tyrannosaurus, I think ’Silent and Carefree Sorrow’ is better. The minstrel said the noble masters like that kind of flair."

"What minstrel? We even have Minstrel Lamiel! In my view, it should be called the ’Eternal Sleep Emperor’ Knight Order."

"Pfft, might as well just call it the Insomnia Emperor..."

Then a few strong men began to dispute over the name, cursing and laughing as they went to the canteen, giving the atmosphere a light and lively feel.

At this time, a youth with a simple appearance but with blond hair stood nearby with a lunch box, laughing while chiming in:

"Ha! Those names you said, in my opinion, are not as grand as our People’s!"

He was Watson, currently the head of all the workers.
