Chapter 11

It wasn't until he sent Flamme away that Lin Yu suddenly recalled that he had actually forgotten to warn her.

Of course, it wasn't necessarily that he had forgotten; perhaps Lin Yu himself hadn't discovered that he actually didn't care about this matter.

After all, the original work stated very clearly that the only ones who would encounter life danger were the three teammates Flamme traveled with this time, and she herself would return safely and meet an elven mage named Frieren in the future.

The only person Lin Yu regarded as a friend was Flamme.

It was indeed a bit difficult to make him care about three strangers he had never met.

"Forget it if I forgot. Anyway, in this world line, Flamme has the scripture I compiled. No matter what trouble she encounters, at worst she can release a big move and then escape, right?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu threw the matter to the back of his mind with peace of mind and returned to the state of living alone from five months ago.

But different from five months ago, his residence had turned into an ancient and magnificent stone castle, and by his side, there was an additional white ape servant with high intelligence who could serve him tea and water, as well as a white wolf that was more suitable as a pet and mount than Longlongyan.

Besides that, Lin Yu had an additional hobby to kill time—magic.

He didn't need to eat or sleep, and he studied magic regardless of day or night.

Such days lasted for about a week.

Until the eighth day after Flamme left, an old man with white hair and a beard broke into his territory, holding a letter, cautiously sizing up the surrounding environment.

Lin Yu discovered him the moment he stepped into the territory, so he sent the white ape to pick him up.

As expected, this white-haired old man was the village chief of that group of villagers, that is, the biological father of that powerful warrior.

The letter in his hand was the personal letter Flamme gave him, and the purpose was naturally to help him introduce the owner of this forest.

"... You are the village chief?"

Under the towering dome, the undisputed king of this forest was sitting on an iron-cast throne covered with white bear skin, the letter in his hand turning over gently, buckled on the wide armrest where the teacup was placed.

Looking up along that slender and powerful palm, one could see a calm but oppressive youth face.

The pitch-black pupils were like the starry sky in the night, and together with the magic radiance of the bronze candlesticks on the surrounding stone pillars, they were cast toward the cautious and respectful white-haired old man below.

"Why is it you who came, where is your son?"

The old man didn't dare to neglect, and immediately bowed: "Returning to the lord, he has already left with Master Flamme."

"... So straightforward?"

The youth suddenly changed his posture and muttered in a low voice: "Don't you want to confirm it with your own eyes?"

The old man was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses, hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Daimon has always valued promises the most, and Master Flamme has already guaranteed with her own life, so there will definitely be no problems."

"You are quite good at speaking."

Lin Yu sized up the old man before him with interest.

This person's speech had a bit of aristocratic elegance, and when translated, it sounded very much like classical Chinese. Perhaps his ancestors were once fallen nobles.

... No wonder he could cultivate a warrior that even Flamme had to spend effort to subdue; he really had something!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu waved his hand, signaled the white ape to serve a cup of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "Since there is Flamme's guarantee, I will naturally protect your safety!"

"Thank you, Lord Lord!"

The old man was overjoyed, hurriedly put down the teacup, and bowed to thank him.

He didn't doubt at all that this young-looking elven youth had this ability, because before entering the pavilion, he had already seen that mountain-like giant horned beast outside.

That was the Ridge Peak Lord who once ravaged the forest and forced them to leave their homes!

This elven youth before him could actually take it as a pet and guard the house for him—in this era, not everyone knew the essence of monsters as clearly as Flamme.

In the eyes of these ordinary people, monsters were no different from wild beasts.

This was also why Lin Yu dared to show the monsters under his command to these people.

"However, I have to say one thing in advance."

Lin Yu changed the subject, looking at the old man calmly: "I have no interest in the struggles between human kingdoms."

"If there are demon races or monsters appearing, I don't mind taking action to solve these troubles, but if you dare to use my banner to participate in the wars between human countries..."

The old man was shocked, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and promised: "Please rest assured, lord, we only protect ourselves and will never do anything extra!"

"Very good!"

Lin Yu nodded, lifted his hand gently, and helped the old village chief up from the ground.

Afterward, he consulted the old village chief about some things in the village, and after satisfying his desire for communication for the day, he commanded the white ape to send the old man out of the stone castle with satisfaction.

Looking at the old man's happy departing back, Lin Yu raised his right hand and brushed it by his ear, and the illusion of pointed ears melted like ice and snow.

This was Flamme's suggestion.

After all, he was an existence that was immortal and long-lived. If he wanted to deal with humans, it was best to disguise himself as an elf to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"The village problem is finally solved!"

Lin Yu stretched, lay down lazily, and took out the scripture to engrave.

In an instant, the magic factors in the air began to gather.

The white wolf lying behind the throne's eyes lit up, hurriedly got up, and ran to Lin Yu's feet to lie down.

Lin Yu didn't care about the flattering face of this stupid dog and went on engraving the scripture by himself.

The first thirteen pages had been engraved once, which could be called familiar, and Lin Yu only spent a short week to catch up with the progress of the scripture he gave to Flamme.

Just like that, Lin Yu's time flew by in studying magic and engraving the scripture, and the emerging village that moved outside the forest didn't affect his life too much—

No, it should be said that those villagers didn't dare to disturb this forest lord at all.

After all, the gatekeeper of the stone castle was the terrifying monster that had once forced them to leave their homes.

For these villagers, the fear of monsters had long been deeply engraved in their minds.

Unless necessary, they didn't want to have any dealings with Lin Yu...

Such days of living in peace lasted for half a year.

Until that day, a powerful monster broke in from the forest to the north, threatening the village that had just settled for half a year.

Facing this kind of sudden situation, other villagers habitually thought that they should hire adventurers to try first.

Only the village chief held a dissenting opinion; he had seen Lin Yu and felt that this forest lord was very kind and should seek his help.

In the end, the village chief overcame all opposition and took two young and strong men from the village to seek an audience with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't say much, sending the white wolf "Guangzhi" and the white ape "Guangmou" to help them solve the monster.

In just one day, the village chief and the villagers were full of shock, respectfully sending the two divine beast lords back.

That powerful monster that ravaged the northern forest was like a toy in front of Guangzhi and Guangmou, unable to cause any waves at all.

This was nothing strange; after all, they had been by Lin Yu's side for a full half a year.

For this half a year, every time Lin Yu studied magic and engraved the scripture, it would attract countless free magic in the atmosphere.

The overly dense magic even condensed into fog around the pavilion, which could be called a magic version of a blessed land.

Thanks to these magic fogs, the strength of the three monsters advanced by leaps and bounds, and the magic reserves of each were dozens of times more than half a year ago.

Not only that, the newly engraved scripture magic also had a move called 【Bai Ze Ten Thousand Beast Map】, whose inspiration came from the "Bai Ze Map" that recorded 11,520 different monsters.

Any monster on the list could block malice, open intelligence, and be regarded as having signed a contract with the scripture.

Without a doubt, whether it was Longlongyan or the two little ones of the Guang generation, they were all monsters on the list and could borrow Lin Yu's power from the scripture at any time.

In front of this kind of cheater who opened a cheat, the wild monsters were naturally not opponents.

After this incident, the villagers' attitude toward Lin Yu, this forest lord, changed.

There was a little less pure fear and a little more awe that was more commendable.

This kind of awe became deeper and deeper in the next ten years and gradually turned into something else...
