Chapter 392

Ordinary alcohol can't command such a high price, but this Gao Liang wine comes from divine revelation—it's terrifyingly delicious.

In the Hunhe Principality, drinking this Gao Liang wine is a symbol of status and rank; some commoners, after saving money by eating Divine Beans, still scrimping and saving to buy a few jin just to drink it!

So the sales of this Gao Liang wine are extremely strong!

Even some nobles of the Hiling Kingdom are scrambling to drink it.

So from any perspective, Yan Kingdom and Hiling are guaranteed profits, while Hunhe is guaranteed losses.

Yet the people of Hunhe Principality haven't realized it yet.

The nobles of Hunhe Principality are spending their earned gold coins, embracing the delicious Gao Liang wine, indulging in drunken revelry, convinced their gold inflow has increased and they can now enjoy better wine and more women.

But soon, they will discover they've fallen into a massive pit and cannot climb out!

Of course, some unexpected situations arose—for instance, some Hiling Kingdom nobles also wanted to plant Gao Liang on a large scale, but these nobles were secretly warned.

They may plant it, of course, but only after taking over the Hunhe Principality; by then, the purchase price of Gao Liang will plummet.

While Lin Yan's several Holy Maidens had dug a massive pit for the Hunhe Principality and the economic war raged fiercely, to the north—

"Phew, finally arrived—is that the Dark Forest ahead?"

A Night Elf asked, staring at the dense, black expanse of forest.

That forest was enormous.

When referring to the Dark Forest, there is in fact another prefix.

The Endless Dark Forest.

No one knows how large this Dark Forest is.

Of course, the Loki Forest was reclaimed by the Elf Empire from the Dark Forest.

Now, Night Elves and Greenland Elves have become the second wave of reclaimers.

The air of the Dark Forest contains a dark substance; this dark substance ensures the forest always appears profoundly dark.

Even the midday sun cannot penetrate or dispel this darkness.

Even lighting torches inside cannot dispel this darkness.

When the Loki Forest Empire previously reclaimed the Dark Forest, they used a special magical flame.

Tens of thousands of elves advanced together, sustaining this magical flame for over three days before the surrounding dark substance would be dispelled.

But don't think the dispelling is enough.

You must keep moving forward.

Because the dark substance can spread—once the flame dies, the dark substance surges back!

The reason it hasn't spread now is that after the Loki Forest Elf Empire completed reclamation, they jointly erected a massive barrier to block the dark substance's spread.

But erecting such a massive barrier is extremely costly and can only be done after reclamation is fully complete.

The reason Loki Forest has not been reclaimed again is simple—they exhausted the tiny magic stones required to ignite that magical flame.

The Night Elves' planned method differs from the one used by the Loki Forest Elf Empire.

Because their god is the Lord of Flame.

Simply praying to the Lord of Flame grants them a special flame.

This flame was obtained by Lin Yan from those several Holy Spirits.

Lin Yan calls it Holy Flame!

When burning, it emits Holy Light!

Holy Light is the preferred method of the gods of Heaven; its uses are countless.

The simplest one, of course, is dispelling darkness—that's the basic function of all light!

This is why Princess Chenxi isn't worried about the beliefs of other elf tribes joining the reclamation.

These elf tribes pray daily to the Lord of Flame for Holy Flame, and their faith will unconsciously shift toward the Lord of Flame.
