Chapter 367: I want... the Eye of Arcana!

The Great Arcanist narrowed his eyes, taking a long time to digest the information Anwa had given him.

"The character of Nine Prince Lin is quite kind.

Moreover, he does not believe in any god.

If he were not a prince, he would actually be quite a fit for our Arcane Empire."

The Great Arcanist chuckled, his words filled with a hint of admiration.

In this world, the more noble one's status, the more likely they are to have a god they worship.

Especially among the nobility and the Royal Family.

It can be said that apart from the three great empires, all other human kingdoms are bound to one or several gods.

Those nobles, or members of the Royal Family, all worship their own gods.

And the gods they worship are also the foundation of their royal power.

"Prince Lin has no talent for singing.

His mother was also a palace maid, and in the Shaya Royal Family, her status was considered extremely low.

Therefore, Nine Prince Lin has not had an easy life within the Royal Family," Anwa said, intentionally or unintentionally hinting that the Great Arcanist could help Nine Prince Lin.

A look of helplessness appeared on the Great Arcanist's face: "He is, after all, a prince of the Shaya Royal Family, and his status is extraordinary.

If I were to take him to the Arcane Empire, it would only harm him instead."

If the Great Arcanist were to take Nine Prince Lin away, he was certain that within a few days, this Prince Lin would surely fall and die.

The Shaya Kingdom could not afford the price of a prince abandoning his god to defect to the Arcane Empire.

"Mm, this student understands." Anwa felt somewhat dejected.

The list was still there.

Even if they did not help the Third Prince deal with the Nine Prince, given the Third Prince's personality, he would naturally deal with the Nine Prince anyway.

It could be said that Nine Prince Lin... was in imminent danger.

However, Lin had once saved her younger sister, and she was unwilling to just watch the Nine Prince fall like this.

Yet, she had no other way.

The night was deep, and the stars dotted the night sky, scattered like pieces on a chessboard.

Lin Chao looked up at the sky, wondering what he was contemplating.

Beside Lin Chao, Heiniu also looked at the night sky, seemingly thinking of the person in his dreams.

"I heard that at the Abilun Hotel tonight, many princes and princesses are attending a gathering," Heiniu said, looking at Lin Chao.

"No one invited me," Lin Chao smiled, "These things are not important."

After returning to the Royal Capital, all the princes and princesses would first meet up to attend a gathering.

However, for this gathering, no one invited Lin Chao.

Lin Chao also felt this was within his expectations.

After all, he had offended the Third Prince.

The Third Prince only wanted Lin Chao to die in obscurity.

"Will the Third Prince make a move against you, Manager?" Heiniu asked from the side.

"He will," Lin Chao replied.

"Do you want me to go and kill him? Recently, my Assassination Dao has improved once again," Heiniu said from the side.

Last time, after slaying the priest of the Kunan Orc Tribe, his strength had greatly increased again, and he was only one step away from Legendary.

Now, he no longer viewed this world as a game.

"Then wouldn't you be unable to log in for two days?" Lin Chao smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Heiniu smiled rarely: "Compared to what the Manager has bestowed upon me, what do these things count for?"

"Everything will wait until we see the God Descent," Lin Chao looked up at the sky.

Heiniu's heart trembled.

God Descent, he knew of it.

On the day of the Shaya Kingdom King's birthday, the God of Song would bestow blessings, and the God Descent would arrive.

By then, he would witness true Divine Power.

"After the matters in Wangcheng are settled, I suggest you leave Koya City to wander and gain experience.

By the way, the map I gave you has quite a few Divine Creatures on it.

Slaying those Divine Creatures might be of great help to your growth in strength, and... to your goal," Lin Chao's voice was calm, devoid of any emotional color.

"Many thanks!" Heiniu felt grateful inside, "Manager, for these days, I will not be flaunting myself outside."

Heiniu had decided that once he saw the God Descent, he would do something big.

Lin Chao looked at Heiniu and smiled: "Very well."

Just then, Heiniu's expression changed slightly: "Who is it?"

He issued a stern sound.

In the air, the hidden young girl was exposed.

She was wearing black attire, and her face was covered with a black scarf, making her features unclear.

Seeing Heiniu and Lin Chao, there was some surprise in her eyes.

Beside the Nine Prince, there was such a powerful person?

"Don't worry, I am not an enemy!" The person who arrived was none other than Anwa; she had ultimately decided to use Stealth to come to the Nine Prince's residence to inform him of the news that the Third Prince was going to deal with him.

Anwa composed herself and spoke quickly.

At the same time, she was also sizing up Heiniu.

The Heiniu before her gave her the oppressive feeling of a powerhouse.

"Oh, and for what matter have you come?" Lin Chao looked at the young girl before him and asked.

"The Third Prince... wants to kill you.

You need to leave... Wangcheng immediately, otherwise, you will surely die!" Anwa slowly told the news to Lin Chao.

Originally, she thought she would see fear and surprise in Lin Chao's eyes; however, to her surprise, Lin Chao was exceptionally calm.

"Many thanks for the information," Lin Chao looked at Anwa and said slowly.

Anwa was slightly stunned; she could not quite understand Lin Chao's reaction and could only emphasize once more: "You had best leave the Shaya Kingdom and hide your identity, otherwise, the Fourth Prince will not let you off!"

Yet, Lin Chao's reaction remained very calm.

This left Anwa helpless, not knowing whether the other party had actually received the information she conveyed.

Beside them, the silent Heiniu spoke up at this moment: "With us guarding, His Highness will naturally be safe and sound."

Heiniu said this with a confident expression.

Unless a Legendary appeared, his strength was enough to be invincible below the Legendary level.

After all, he did not fear death.

The Third Prince's forces were powerful, and there might be a Legendary behind him.

However, that Legendary would not simply listen to the Third Prince and take action against the Nine Prince.

What's more, in Heiniu's heart, the Manager was unfathomable in strength, and there was nothing to fear at all.

As for the Third Prince's head, it was merely being temporarily stored on the Third Prince's shoulders.

Anwa once again looked at Heiniu seriously; she still could not discern Heiniu's strength, but she could feel that Heiniu's strength was very great, far exceeding her own.

"The Third Prince..." After thinking for a moment, Anwa ultimately did not say anything more and could only say, "Be careful in everything."

Having said this, she prepared to leave.

And just at this moment, Lin Chao's voice sounded from behind, "You are an Arcanist; is everyone in the Arcane Empire human?"

Lin Chao's keen eyes could see the faint Arcane aura on the woman at a glance.

Anwa was slightly stunned: "How did you know?"

"I am quite interested in the Arcane Empire, and I plan to pay a visit in a few days; please convey my greetings to Great Arcanist Kong Ping," Lin Chao said slowly.

He was very interested in the Arcane Eye.

He was thinking of taking this opportunity to obtain the blueprints for the Arcane Eye from the Arcane Empire.

Then, even if a Holy War were to occur in the future, Iron Stone City would have a powerful defensive capability.

"Alright." Anwa hesitated for a moment, then turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Above the Heavenly Vault, dark clouds gathered; the thick cloud layer seemed within reach, as if one could touch it by climbing a tall building.

Lin Chao looked up at the sky: "A storm is coming."

Black clouds pressed down on the city, and the entire Wangcheng was shrouded in shadow.

However, crisp and melodious singing occasionally drifted from the roadside into the courtyard.

That was the singing of the touring troupe's singers.

For the King's birthday, these past few days, singers from the Church would sit on carriages and tour the streets of Wangcheng, singing and adding a touch of vitality to this prosperous city.

"Manager, are you going out?" Ye Di emerged from the side, holding an umbrella in his hand.

"I am preparing to go and meet the people from the Arcane Empire; would you like to go together?" Lin Chao asked.

"You bet!" Ye Di nodded hurriedly.

Having received the cultivation technique adapted by the Manager, Ye Di had already reached the Beginner stage of being a Beast Master.

This shocked that online teacher, and his older brother was also very surprised.

Rumor had it that even among those noble Beast Masters, there were some who wanted to take him as a disciple.

It could be said that his identity in the real world was about to undergo a true change.

All of this was bestowed by the Manager.

Ye Di held the umbrella and left the courtyard with Lin Chao.

Behind the courtyard, Lis watched Lin Chao's back, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"Grandma Lis, has Uncle Karl arrived?" Charlie asked with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Their organization now centered around Charlie, hoping for Charlie to grow up and inherit the Ice Hidden Dragon Warlock profession.

Lis was a mid-level professional who had been secretly guarding Charlie's safety.

Due to the Third Prince's return and his connection to the Flame Temple.

Uncle Karl could not let it go, so he decided to come to Wangcheng.

Uncle Karl was one of the five great experts in the organization and was a High-level Professional.

Charlie felt that with Uncle Karl there, his safety would be guaranteed.

"Grandma Lis, can Uncle Karl protect my cousin?" Charlie asked, a look of anticipation on his face.

In his eyes, Uncle Karl was an extremely powerful person; with Uncle Karl there, there was nothing he could not do.

A look of difficulty flashed in Lis's eyes: "Karl can only do his best; the Flame Temple... is not so easy to deal with."

Their organization, Ice Hidden, had always viewed the Flame Temple as a great enemy.

In fact, in the eyes of the Flame Temple, Ice Hidden did not even count as a decent enemy.

Only organizations possessing a Legendary Professional were qualified to be truly valued by the Flame Temple.

"Then wouldn't my cousin... My mother would be heartbroken to death." Charlie felt some sadness and worry.

Lis continued, "Rest assured, the power the Flame Temple has brought to the Royal Capital this time is limited. With Karl here, most problems can be solved."

"Really?" Charlie felt a bit excited, and the worry from just a moment ago dissipated quite a bit.

On the other side, Lin Chao took Ye Di, and the two crossed the road, slowly walking to the place where the Arcane Empire's envoys were staying.

Outside the courtyard where the Arcane Empire resided, the crowd was congested; one could see many young men, or even old people, throwing rotten eggs or stones at the courtyard.

They were cursing and swearing, as if the people living in the courtyard were their fathers' killers.

"Unbelievers, get out of Saya!"

"Traitors of humanity, running dogs of the Abyss, Saya does not welcome you!"

"Arcane Empire, the tumor of humanity, it is precisely because you offended the gods and caused the gods' wrath that disasters have been rampant this year.

If they stay here for long, the Song God will surely be furious, and the songs of harvest might no longer be able to ripple through Saya!"

"Get out!"

"Unbelievers!"

These people were filled with righteous indignation.

This situation was different from Koya City.

Koya City was located in a remote area and only had one Wealth Church.

But Shaya Royal City was the capital of the Shaya Kingdom and the gathering place for the believers of the Song God.

It could be said that more than half of the fanatics of the Song God were in Shaya Royal City.

"This group of people, they're like lunatics." Seeing these people, Ye Di's expression was not very good.

"The Arcane Empire has no god they believe in, so, that is why..." Lin Chao also sighed a little.

Are these indignant masses wrong?

Lin Chao found it hard to judge.

Because these masses were standing from their own perspective and speaking for their own interests.

Perhaps it was short-sighted, perhaps it went against morality, but in the affairs of the world, right and wrong were never about who was reasonable.

Of course, to the people of the Arcane Empire, what they were doing was great and heroic.

That is, every human being does not need to be kept in captivity by the gods.

However, do those who are kept in captivity wish to see this scene?

Especially those vested interests, the human upper echelons who are kept in captivity?

Perhaps, they would not want it either.

Therefore, it is very normal for the Arcane Empire to be resisted by almost all human kingdoms.

"The Arcane Empire is very similar to us players." Ye Di spoke, feeling something in his heart; at the same time, he also thought of reality, "But in fact, aren't we in reality very similar to these people throwing rotten eggs?"

In the real world, humanity lives in prosperity, and the conflicts between nations are almost zero.

All of this is because there are Beast Masters above humanity.

It can be said that Beast Masters are the true masters of the Canghai World, but they have also given the bottom-level people of the Canghai World a peaceful and harmonious living environment.

Class exists, unfairness exists, but for most of the bottom-level people, aren't they still living "with dignity"?

As long as one doesn't encounter special people or special events, at least, one lives "very dignifiedly," right?

Lin Chao smiled: "There is no perfection in the world; everyone has their own way of living."

After he finished speaking, he took Ye Di and entered the courtyard through a side gate.

The front was surrounded by angry masses, so they naturally could not enter.

Not long after, Lin Chao met the person in charge of the Arcane Empire's envoys, the Great Arcanist Kong Ping.

"Great Arcanist Kong Ping, Lin has visited presumptuously, I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Chao's appearance was somewhat unexpected to Great Arcanist Kong Ping, and it was also surprising to Kongwa.

She did not expect that the polite words Prince Lin used to visit were actually a real visit.

"Greetings, Nine Prince." The Great Arcanist was also slightly surprised; his peripheral vision glanced at Kongwa.

"I heard that the Great Arcanist came to the Shaya Kingdom to purchase Star Sand to build the Star Eye.

Koya City, which I govern, happens to have quite a bit of Star Sand; I wonder if I could make a trade with you, Great Arcanist." Lin Chao did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

This caused a look of slight bewilderment to appear on the Great Arcanist's smiling face.

Koya City was actually under the jurisdiction of Nine Prince Lin.

If a deal could be reached with the Nine Prince, then the matter of the Star Sand could certainly be resolved to some extent.

"The Shaya Kingdom ostracizes the Arcane Empire everywhere; if the Nine Prince trades with the Arcane Empire, is he not afraid of being criticized by the King?" The Great Arcanist naturally felt that Lin Chao's purpose was not that simple.

"Those things are not important.

I only care about what I can control." Because of this trade, offending other princes or even the King was nothing to Lin Chao.

The Great Arcanist smiled and said: "State your conditions."

The Arcane Empire was very short of Star Sand, but it had its own principles in doing things.

Otherwise, he would have long since cooperated with the Third Prince to obtain Star Sand.

"I want... the Arcane Eye!" Lin Chao's voice was cold!
