Chapter 352

One sword strike, and the waves calmed.

The Blood Holy Grail also fell into Lin Chao's hands.

The blood-red hue on the Heavenly Vault also vanished at this moment.

Lin Chao stood among the crowd; on the icy ground lay the corpses of Beisha, Morei, and Suolun, like the remains of stray dogs.

No one would have thought that the three who held tremendous power in Koya City would die here.

Lin Chao took the Blood Holy Grail and looked at the three still alive: "Everything... is over."

Jianlong'er, Kaixiu, and Dong Zhengxuan looked at Lin Chao, their faces showing respectful expressions.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving our lives."

Their statuses were high; facing an unfavored prince of the Shaya Royal Family, they naturally had no reverence to speak of.

But now it is different.

Prince Lin displayed great strength and even slew those three with his sword.

Such strength already surpassed everyone present.

"Your Highness, the matter is not yet settled; behind Beisha, there is still a Legendary Succubus." Jianlong'er said this with worry, his face showing concern.

The faces of several people present changed slightly; the earlier sense of relief disappeared.

That is a Legendary-level succubus; if it truly appeared, the entire Koya City would become a purgatory.

"Where is the Legendary Succubus?" Lin Chao looked at the three, blinking his eyes.

"But... Beisha said there was one." Jianlong'er still thought Lin Chao did not know.

Beside him, Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan were slightly stunned, falling into thought.

"That is merely Beisha's lie." Lin Chao said lightly.

Among the three present, only Jianlong'er remained somewhat puzzled: "Beisha's lie?"

Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan are local tyrants in Koya City, with active minds; they instantly understood Lin Chao's meaning.

A flash of shock passed through the hearts of Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan.

This also means Prince Lin wishes to conceal the reality of the Legendary Succubus.

It means Prince Lin has already dealt with the Legendary-level succubus.

Such strength... in Koya City, truly allows one to cover the sky with one hand.

Even if placed in the Shaya Royal Family, he would be an absolute powerhouse.

Prince Lin's words likely mean he wishes to hide the reality of the Legendary Succubus and conceal his own strength?

Having figured this out, Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan felt Prince Lin was even more mysterious and unfathomable, with great ambitions.

A glint of sharp light flashed in their eyes.

This might... be their opportunity.

After all, they can only live in obscurity in Koya City now.

If they follow Prince Lin...

"Yes, the Legendary Succubus is merely a rumor.

It is only that Beisha colluded with Suolun and City Lord Morei, causing chaos in Koya City, and finally we jointly struggled to slay them!" Kaixiu said beside them.

As a leading noble in Koya City, Kaixiu's martial prowess and intellect are among the foremost; a few simple words settled today's matter.

"What Count Kaixiu said is correct; the Legendary Succubus is a rumor, the true culprits are... City Lord Morei and Beisha, who two bewitched Priest Suolun." Dong Zhengxuan added beside them.

The Wealth Church needs to maintain its reputation.

Jianlong'er was slightly stunned, initially somewhat confused, but after hearing Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan's words, he pondered and also understood the key point.

"Yes, I was too gullible to believe the rumor." Jianlong'er said beside them.

Prince Lin had saved his life; he naturally wished to befriend Prince Lin.

"Now that turmoil has arisen in the city, there are still many matters to handle in the Church; I will take my leave first." Jianlong'er is not a fool; he has already sensed the change in Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan's attitudes toward Prince Lin.

Jianlong'er left; Kaixiu looked at Lin Chao, his face showing respect: "Prince, now that City Lord Morei is dead... many governmental affairs in Koya City will stall..."

Lin Chao spoke softly: "Shivana has followed me for many years and is still a High-level Professional; can she take the position of City Lord?"

Count Kaixiu understood.

Indeed, Prince Prince wishes to remain hidden behind the scenes.

"Lady Shivana is strong enough; as City Lord, she would be more than capable." Kaixiu quickly echoed.

"Our Chamber of Commerce Alliance fully supports Your Highness." Dong Zhengxuan declared loudly.

Seeing this, Kaixiu also quickly said: "All nobles of Koya City will certainly fully cooperate with Prince."

The loyalty in their words overflowed.

"Hmm." Lin Chao nodded, he looked at the two, gave a few instructions, then turned and left.

……

In the Space Channel, Lin Chao's figure appeared.

"The front is filled with chaotic aura, connecting to...... the Abyss......"

This place connects to the Abyss; at certain times, the Space Channel becomes stable, possibly allowing large numbers of demons to pass through.

Of course, normally there will also be small amounts of demons sneaking through.

To Lin Chao, this is nothing significant.

"The Space Channel...... actually has plenty of space, suitable as a player's base...... quite good."

The Space Channel is larger than the entire Tieshi Mountain; as a player base, it is quite a good place.

After dealing with something in the Space Rift, Lin Chao left this place and returned to Tieshi Mountain.

Shivana wore a full set of red armor; her face bore a hint of gloomy sorrow.

"Your Highness..."

Arriving at Tieshi Mountain, Shivana saw many corpses.

If she remembered correctly, when she left, that group of foreigners numbered nearly 500, but now only about 100 remained alive.

Enough to see, the war was brutal.

Those living lives, those she once looked down upon, those she had seen smiling yesterday, died resisting the demons, and would never be seen again.

"The demon invasion has been resolved.

City Lord Morei colluded with succubi and has been executed.

Now, Koya City has no city lord.

Shivana, can you handle being city lord?"

Lin Chao looked at Shivana and spoke softly.

Shivana's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

City Lord Morei is dead?

Your Highness wants me to be city lord?

She never expected things to develop this way.

Could it be that the demon invasion was completely resolved by Your Highness?

That legendary demon... too?

Shivana discovered for the first time that she knew nothing about Prince Lin.

However, such a Prince Lin, personally commanding the front lines against demons, earned the death-defying loyalty of a group of warriors.

Loving the people as his children, he formed the Guard Team to protect the villagers.

How could she not be convinced by such a Highness?

"I swear loyalty to Your Highness!" Shivana knelt and performed a knight's salute.

"Hmm." Lin Chao nodded, "If you encounter resistance, go find Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan; they will help you."

"Yes." Shivana's heart trembled even more.

Kaixiu and Dong Zhengxuan are both big shots in Koya City.

Now, these two have both sworn loyalty to Prince Lin?

Regardless, the Prince trusts her, entrusting Koya City to her management, so she naturally cannot betray the Prince's trust.

Seeing Shivana off, Lin Chao looked toward the Manager System.

He had said before, during this Abyss demon invasion, whoever slaughtered the most demons would receive a great reward.

He glanced at the Manager System, and the one who slaughtered the most demons was no surprise to him—it was Heiniu.

He slaughtered a full thirteen demons.

At this moment, among the surviving players, some lay on the ground, some were stripping materials from demon corpses, and some were picking up their own severed hands, their faces showing bewildered expressions.

"Warriors, you resisted the Abyss invasion with your blood, proving your tenacity, you are heroes.

All who participated in this campaign will receive a reward of 100 Experience Value." These 100 Experience Values, Lin Chao naturally would not be stingy in distributing.

After all, most Experience Values are earned by players for him.

Indeed, upon hearing Lin Chao's words, the players present immediately cheered.

"Long live the Manager!"

"100 Experience Value, awesome!"

Lin Chao looked at the crowd and continued: "When striking, I once said that whoever contributed the most to killing enemies this time would receive a great gift reward."

Lin Wan finished speaking, and everyone present looked on with fiery eyes.

"What gift?"

"A set of armor?"

"Gold coins?"

"A maid?"

They discussed excitedly, very animated.

After all, all participants gained 100 Experience Value, and the one who slaughtered the most—how could it be less than 500 Experience Value in reward?

"In this battle, the one who slaughtered the most enemies is Heiniu." Lin Chao announced the quota.

This news did not surprise many.

Ye Di smiled: "Heiniu, I knew it was you, kid."

"Big Brother Heiniu is mighty!"

Heiniu's face showed a shy smile; he usually wasn't fond of showing off, preferring to stay low-key.

However, to bring happiness to Xiaomeng's life, he naturally wanted to grow stronger, to strive, to compete.

Not far away, the golden-armored soldiers' eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy: "Damn, if it weren't for Ye Di and Shengtian's half-son helping Heiniu, Heiniu couldn't possibly have slaughtered the most!"

Toward Heiniu, he felt considerable aversion, also some jealousy.

"This time, I give Heiniu the reward of... a Legendary Succubus.

Heiniu... can perform a finishing blow on her."

Lin Chao said softly.

In the player crowd, however, a thunderous roar erupted, and the players went into an uproar.

"Holy shit, a Legendary Succubus!"

"Finishing blow!"

"Legendary, that's legendary!"

Nowadays, the core strength of players is mid-level professionals.

Even now, the strongest Heiniu is only level 9, still far from becoming a high-level professional.

Not to mention, Legendary.

That is slaying a Legendary.

The experience gained will be massive.

Heiniu is currently the top player, but this position is unstable.

As time passes, many top players will emerge, and certainly many players will surpass him.

Now, this reward is actually a Legendary Succubus.

The experience from this finishing blow... is unbelievable.

It is certain that Heiniu will become a high-level professional and the top player among players.

And this honor will last for a long time.

"Damn it!" The Gold Army heard this news and all wanted to curse.

Originally, he was some distance away from Heiniu.

He thought, working hard to level up and surpass Heiniu, then give Heiniu a hard time, teach him a lesson, so he wouldn't be so arrogant in the game.

But now, this hope has come to nothing.

He estimates that for a long time to come, he will have to live in Heiniu's shadow, and he is very unhappy.

He didn't stay here; he didn't want to see Heiniu's face, and he left cursing.

Heiniu stepped forward, and a female succubus appeared before him.

The male players below saw the female succubus, and their eyes went straight.

"Holy shit, this face value!"

"This styling!"

"These long legs!"

"Is this something you can see in the game?"

The female succubus is very beautiful, and the key is that she wears very little, with only one-fifth of her body covered by cloth.

What should be exposed is exposed, and what should not be exposed is also exposed.

"Manager, can you not kill her?"

"She's so beautiful, killing her would be such a waste!"

"A bunch of diaosi, even a female game character, whether she's a villain boss or not, you all lick!"

"No wonder beautiful women in real life all like Special Zone men, it's all because of you licking!"

"Hey hey hey, don't hype up..."

Heiniu looked at the female succubus, his eyes also showing greed, but without pity.

If it weren't for them blocking, this female succubus would bring demons to cause chaos, Xiaomeng's village would likely suffer disaster, and Xiaomeng might even die.

Facing such a bad person, Heiniu feels no sympathy or pity in his heart.

His big sword chopped down on the female succubus's head.

The beautiful female succubus instantly had her head fall to the ground.

Countless experience points poured into Heiniu's body.

Heiniu immediately sat down on the ground.

His level kept rising.

Level 10!

Level 11!

Level 12!

Level 13!

Heiniu jumped four levels at once, reaching level 13, becoming a high-level professional.

Moreover, among high-level professionals, he is not weak.

"Heiniu, what level are you?"

"That's a great beauty, Heiniu said he'd kill just kill the cow!"

"I can't bring myself to do it anyway."

A group of people discussed heatedly.

Heiniu looked at the crowd and softly said: "Level 13."

Shengtian Banzi's face showed an excited expression.

Heiniu finally reached level 10, so he can learn the game language.

His plan and research can also begin.

Will the mysterious veil of this game finally be lifted?

Heiniu thanked Lin Chao, then prepared to leave.

But suddenly, as Heiniu walked, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Lin Chao looked at Heiniu and softly said: "You have just risen too many levels at once; your strength cannot adapt immediately.

You need to spend a few hours to adapt before you can normally control your strength, otherwise you might easily hurt others.

To fully unleash your strength, you probably need about half a month."

"Now I understand." Heiniu was very happy, feeling his strength unprecedentedly strong.

That feeling is something mid-level professionals cannot compare to.

He returned to his residence to adapt to his strength.

Lin Chao also returned to his room, closed his eyes to rest his spirit, and felt the power of the legendary.

At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door.

Lin Chao opened his eyes.

Outside the house, there was a male player, a middle-aged man.

Among all the players, he was indeed special, a wizard.

Among the current players, awakened wizard players are few and far between.

"Gold Kela, what do you want with me?" Lin Chao spoke up.

"Manager, I have been researching these days.

I have made a new discovery, look at this!"

Gold Kela held a large pile of soil-like substances in his hands, his face showing an excited expression.

"What is this?" Lin Chao was naturally not omnipotent.

"This is... fertilizer!

Similar to chemical fertilizer in reality!

I discovered that the planting techniques in this world are very backward, and there is hardly any fertilizer.

The fields we planted ourselves yield very little.

I have been researching these these days, and finally developed this fertilizer.

On the nearby mountains, there are many raw materials for this fertilizer."

Gold Kela became more and more excited as he spoke, very excited.

"With this fertilizer, I am certain that our crops will yield at least double!"

"Really?" Lin Chao's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a good thing.

Gold Kela continued to introduce this fertilizer, very excited.

In reality, he is an agricultural researcher.

Unfortunately, modern society is technologically advanced, agriculture receives little funding, he finds it difficult to conduct research, and has no place to apply his skills, his work is very idle.

Unexpectedly, in this game, he has realized his own value.

This made him overjoyed.

Thank you to 【Looking Back to See the Fragrance】 for the five-thousand reward; thank you to 【Demon Lord Devouring the Heavens】 for the tip!
