Two days later, in the Narath region.
The bearded chieftain and his tribesmen had almost finished constructing their homes, with every family now having their own house. This new city was named Bright City!
“Lord Ye Ge, we have important news!” Kesi, who had just awakened from her slumber, rushed to Bai Ye’s house, her expression excited.
Seeing her eager and expectant look, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, “What is it?”
“Word has come from Elias Grand City that several Holy Kings are coming to our Bright City. If nothing unexpected happens, they are likely here to investigate you, Lord Ye Ge.”
“If they force you, Lord Ye Ge, to reveal your true form, then the matter cannot be hidden. So, Lord Ye Ge, let us go to war directly!” Kesi Demesten’s breathing quickened.
Looking at her fanatical expression, Bai Ye’s lips twitched slightly. Having just acquired several quite powerful magic arts, Bai Ye was confident in facing those Holy Kings.
However, if a war broke out, Bright City, which had just been built, would likely be destroyed by the conflict. This was not what Bai Ye wanted to see. Moreover, he did not wish to expose his identity yet.
What to do? After pondering for a moment, a faint smile appeared on Bai Ye’s lips.
He planned to employ the strategy of "Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao"!
“To be able to fight alongside Lord Ye Ge, even if I die in battle, I will be happy!”
Seeing her face slowly flush red, Bai Ye knew this fellow was once again lost in her own thoughts.
“When are they coming?”
“They are already on their way.” If those fellows made a move, they should be able to force Lord Ye Ge to unleash his full strength, right? She wondered if those fellows could withstand Lord Ye Ge’s storm-like attacks? Kesi stared at Bai Ye expectantly.
“I will go to Elias Grand City. You watch over Bright City these few days.”
“Ye, Lord Ye Ge??” Bai Ye’s words startled Kesi.
“Until the situation is clear, they will not make a move. If they dare, I will raze Elias Grand City.” Bai Ye said this very calmly, but it carried an imperceptible, awe-inspiring dominance.
Kesi’s now calm gaze instantly became hazy again. Although facing so many Holy Kings alone was a lot of pressure, she truly wished they would make a move…
While she was still lost in her imagination, Bai Ye had already walked out of the house, called for the snake woman, and then used continuous teleportation towards Elias Grand City.
Elias Grand City, a colossal entity standing on the land. Outside were towering city walls thousands of meters high, and the buildings within were not ordinary in size either. A typical house had ten-meter-high floors, and streets were often hundreds of meters wide.
On the streets, one could see all sorts of half-demons. Minotaurs, pig-headed people, snake people, spider people…
All sorts of large monstrous beings walked the streets, their heavy footsteps occasionally shaking the sturdy floor. Those who could enter Elias Grand City were relatively high-level monsters.
There were also some elves flying about, their expressions arrogant, seemingly disgusted by the noisy district.
“Lord Ye Ge, we’re just walking in like this? Won’t the Diviner detect us?” In an alley, the snake woman Dusha worriedly asked.
“I was a bit worried just now, but now I can relax. I guess something must have happened to him!” Bai Ye, having returned to his original appearance, took out a mask and put it on.
“Now, take me to the dwarves’ district.”
He had two purposes for this trip. First, to take away the enslaved dwarves. Second, to eliminate the problematic Diviner.
“Oh! Alright. The dwarf slaves live in the slums.” Seeing that Bai Ye was no longer worried, the snake woman also relaxed and led him out of the alley.
“Storewide special! Storewide special! A-grade demonic artifacts only for a thousand magic crystals!”
“High price acquisition for Tetite Stone! Ten thousand magic crystals each!”
“Breaking news! Breaking news! The bounty for the otherworldly invaders has been raised again. Provide information on their whereabouts and receive one million magic crystals!”
…
On the main street outside, there were quite a few shops, but most of them were weapon shops.
Passing by a public announcement board, Bai Ye saw his own bounty information displayed prominently in the first position. A smile of amusement touched his face beneath the mask.
His worth was becoming increasingly substantial. A single magic crystal, placed on Blue Star, would be worth at least hundreds of thousands. One million crystals would be hundreds of billions! All just for information about his whereabouts.
“Lord Ye Ge, one million magic crystals is no small sum!” The snake woman beside him smiled with amusement as she saw Bai Ye looking at the bounty so intently.
“Why don’t we collect it ourselves?” Bai Ye chuckled.
As the two of them emerged from the crowd, a group of dwarves walked towards them, each with chains around their feet, clad in tattered clothes, carrying heavy packs, their eyes vacant, walking mechanically.
“Hurry up, you lowly slaves!” Behind them, a lizardman wielding a massive whip struck a slow-moving dwarf fiercely, cursing incessantly.
The demons passing by were unfazed, and some half-demons even egged the lizardman on to use more force, to just whip him to death.
“Hahaha!” The lizardman, incited by the surrounding half-demons, increased his strength.
“I really don’t know why we keep these short, useless dwarves! Carrying this much and taking so long!”
“Hurry up.”
*Whoosh~*
*Crack!!*
With another harsh whip crack, an elderly dwarf fell to the ground.
