Chapter 115

The next morning, in the world of Frieren.

Lin Yu's true form sat on the crystal throne in the castle's front hall, gazing at the empty red carpet before him and said:

"Ling Hua, are you connected?"

"Yes, my Lord True Lord."

A clear and ethereal voice came from the air.

The next second, beams of light burst forth from nowhere, weaving into an elf woman dressed in a steward's uniform.

"Reporting to my Lord True Lord," the elf woman said respectfully, "Your teleportation gate is extremely stable; the signal can connect to the castle without obstruction. As for the various magical devices in the castle, I seem to be able to sense them as well."

"This feeling is quite magical, as if there is some unknown medium in the air that can interface seamlessly with me..."

"That is called Mana Particles," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Also, address me as My Lord here."

Ling Hua placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly, saying, "Yes, My Lord."

Lin Yu nodded, stepped down from the throne, and looked at Ling Hua, saying, "Since we are connected, I leave the management of the castle to you. I have some matters to attend to; familiarize yourself first."

Having spoken, Lin Yu's figure flashed and vanished from the castle.

Ling Hua bowed slightly and respectfully said, "Yes!"

On the other side, inside the northern gate of the northern city of Jifeng City.

Su Su Haoming and Vol stood under the city gate, sighing as they looked at the three people before them.

"Frieren, it has only been ten days; are you really planning to leave?"

"My teacher is in a hurry to go, and I have no choice."

Frieren touched her long silver hair and muttered, "I quite like it here; if possible, staying for a few dozen or even a hundred years wouldn't be a problem..."

"Frieren!"

Fu Fu Lamei gave her an annoyed look, then helplessly said, "I know elves have a rather vague concept of time, but surely you have a sense of contract spirit?"

"Don't forget, we have an appointment with the Second Imperial Prince; we have no time to delay here any longer!"

Frieren thought for a moment and sighed, "True, we still have to go to the Unified Empire..."

... The Second Imperial Prince?

Su Su Haoming blinked, his expression somewhat strange.

Fu Fu Lamei noticed his expression, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Mr. Su, is there a problem?"

Su Su Haoming came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Nothing; I've been hearing this name so often lately that I'm a bit triggered."

Fu Fu Lamei exclaimed in surprise, "Do you know the Second Imperial Prince?"

Su Su Haoming smiled and was about to explain when a familiar voice suddenly reached his ear.

"He indeed knows a certain Second Imperial Prince."

Lin Yu's figure burst forth from silver light, walking towards the crowd with a smile and saying, "But not the Second Imperial Prince of the Unified Empire."

"My Lord!"

Vol and Dai Meng respectfully bowed to Lin Yu one after another.

Frieren thought for a moment and also bowed.

Fu Fu Lamei, however, did not care about such empty formalities; instead, she smiled and teased:

"You finally deigned to appear; I thought you didn't intend to show your face!"

"How could that be!"

Lin Yu shook his head and explained with a smile, "There were some matters at the castle, so I was delayed for a while."

Fu Fu Lamei nodded, indicating understanding, then turned to look at Su Su Haoming and said, "Speaking of which, having known each other for so many days, I haven't yet asked about Mr. Su's origins. Could the Second Imperial Prince Mr. Su mentioned be from the royalty of your homeland?"

Su Su Haoming thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "More or less!"

Fu Fu Lamei smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Su's background is not simple either!"

Su Su Haoming let out a dry laugh and offered no explanation.

Lin Yu smiled and covered for him, saying, "As far as I know, the First Imperial Prince of the Unified Empire was defeated and lost power; the Second Imperial Prince took the opportunity to win over the nobles, and his reputation has grown day by day. You have been betting on him for ten years; surely it is time to reap the harvest?"

"Correct!"

Fu Fu Lamei chuckled lightly, saying, "Although the Emperor has not yet agreed to promote magic throughout the entire empire, he has softened his stance on small-scale propagation under the Second Imperial Prince's persuasion."

"This time, when we go to the Imperial Capital, it is to discuss the possibilities in this regard with the Second Imperial Prince."

"Unless something unexpected happens, the Unified Empire will establish the position of Court Mage, and I will be the empire's first Court Mage..."

Speaking of this, Fu Fu Lamei paused and complained, "Speaking of which, my busyness is also your fault for being too lazy; if you were willing to expand the territory of Jifeng City, where would I need to be so troublesome!"

"... Is that so?"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said in an annoyed tone, "You only say that; if I really intended to rule human civilization, you would probably be the first to oppose me!"

"..."

Fu Fu Lamei thought for a moment and sighed, saying, "True; compared to the war of survival between humans and demons, I would rather not see you and Her Ladyship the Goddess start a Divine War—honestly, that would be a true apocalypse and natural disaster!"

Hearing this, Frieren and Dai Meng were both stunned, then realized what was meant and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Yes, compared to such a world-destroying Divine War, what could the war between humans and demons amount to?

... Fortunately, fortunately, My Lord is indifferent in nature and has no intention of expanding faith or territory; otherwise, just the war between the Immortal Clan and the Goddess Church would turn the entire continent upside down!

"Lin, you are right; I spoke out of turn."

Fu Fu Lamei smiled and said, "Let humans deal with their own calamities!"

Lin Yu smiled, did not mind the topic, and turned to ask Dai Meng, "Have you been to the Guard Station?"

Dai Meng immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to My Lord, yes I have. The brothers still recognize me as their captain; they not only warmly entertained me but also upgraded my equipment, which makes me feel somewhat ashamed..."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Protecting Master Fu Fu Lamei and her apprentice is a mission I assigned; you need not feel guilty."

Dai Meng's expression hardened as he declared, "Your subordinate swears to protect Lord Fu Fu Lamei and Lady Frieren with his life!"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "There's no need to be so desperate. I have already updated Fu Fu Lamei's holy scripture. If you truly encounter a powerful enemy, it is best to flee immediately to avoid being caught in the holy scripture's magic..."

During this trip to Jifeng City, Fu Fu Lamei and the others indeed gained quite a few good things.

Besides the holy scripture magic personally updated by Lin Yu, they also purchased protective magical artifacts, magic scrolls produced by the Immortal Clan, and staff upgrade services from the Magic Tool Research Institute, among other things.

It could be said they traded a bird gun for a cannon, greatly enhancing their strength...

After giving some instructions, Lin Yu said with a smile, "There are many members of the Immortal Clan in the capital as well; most of them possess alchemy wristwatches. If you encounter trouble, you can seek their help through the watches."

"Rest assured, I understand."

"Then, see you later."

"Mm, see you later."

Fu Fu Lamei waved with a smile, then turned around and departed with Frieren and Dai Meng.

Lin Yu watched them leave, then turned his head to look at Su Su Haoming and said, "Rest early today, and don't forget that matter tonight."

Su Su Haoming understood immediately and said with a smile, "I won't forget, Lin Dage!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu nodded, and his figure flashed instantly, disappearing into the silver light.

"Finally sent them off!"

Su Su Haoming stretched, then turned to look at Vol, who had remained silent beside him, and asked in surprise, "Vol?"

Vol finally reacted, turning his head to look at him and saying, "Is something wrong, Mr. Su?"

"I am certainly fine... but you seem a bit strange!"

Su Su Haoming looked at him curiously and said, "Just now, before I could react, with your radical personality, you shouldn't have been so silent when discussing the God War!"

"Tell me, what exactly is wrong with you?"

"..." Vol fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just didn't want to touch on this topic."

"Is that so?" Su Su Haoming asked in surprise, "You are known as the radical faction!"

"To say such a thing proves you do not know me well enough."

Vol glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "In front of my lord, I would never touch on similar topics, because my lord does not need faith; we need my lord!"

Having spoken, he took a step, turned, and departed, leaving Su Su Haoming standing in place with a bewildered expression.

That night, Su Su Haoming returned to the Inner Universe early and waited quietly in Yuhao Hall for the countdown.

Soon, time arrived at the second day of the Group Chat Realm. The five members all sent messages, uploading files prepared in advance, rapidly accumulating today's activity points.

At this moment, twenty days had passed since He Jing joined the group.

Twenty-three days had also passed since the Group Chat Realm upgraded.

The members finally gathered enough activity points to meet the requirement for the next stage mission.

In fact, under full attendance, the second stage mission could be completed in just twenty-one days.

But Lin Yu had been in seclusion for five years and was absent from the Group Chat Realm for a few days.

And Fan Xian and others had their own matters to attend to; they failed to fill the activity points for a few days, which caused the time to be delayed by two days.

"Detected that the stage goal has been achieved. Opening new Group Chat Realm functions..."

"Group Chat Realm function 【Group Live Broadcast Realm】 unlocked. Welcome all members to try it enthusiastically!"

It is actually the Group Live Broadcast Realm?

In the Samsara Pavilion not far away, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. He did not rush to check the newly unlocked Group Live Broadcast Realm interface but first checked the stage mission in the upper right corner of the Group Chat Realm files.

【Activity Points: 4200 (20084/40000)】

【Contribution Points: 52753 (68421/20000)】

The previous activity point goal was twenty thousand; now it has increased to forty thousand.

... Indeed, it is doubling growth?

Lin Yu frowned. Calculating like this, the data growth later would be outrageous; sooner or later, it would double to the point where it takes a thousand or ten thousand years to level up.

Never mind, let's take it one step at a time. At least the current goal is not that ridiculous.

Lin Yu opened the Group Chat Realm interface and found messages were rolling by crazily one by one—

【Yun Ye: This Group Live Broadcast Realm is interesting; it seems to be a brand new way to earn points!】

【Su Su Haoming: Compared to earning points, I care more about its cross-world live broadcast function.】

【Su Su Haoming: This method seems even more exaggerated than the portal, right?】

【Fan Xian: I think it is a good thing. With the live broadcast screen continuously on, it indicates the Group Chat Realm and the worlds will remain continuously connected.】

【Fan Xian: With Lin Dage's capabilities, he should be able to find our world faster by taking this opportunity, right?】
