This time, it wasn't just Lin Zhan and William who laughed; everyone at the dining table burst into laughter.
Even Zhang Lingxiu, who usually maintained her composure, couldn't help but chuckle.
William, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes, said, "Damn, Old Ancestor, so you have such a deep connection with the Lin family. Your ideas for buying lottery tickets would definitely win first prize."
Lancelot watched the younger generation doubled over with laughter and let out a chuckle himself. He then said to Lin Xiang, "My reputation for a lifetime is completely ruined by your Lin family. You old fellow, after being beaten to that extent, you still wanted to gamble with me? You unleashed a big move right away, showing no martial ethics at all."
Lin Xiang also roared with laughter in response, "Who told you to act so smug back then? You were showing off so much, wearing white clothes and bringing several maids. Someone like you, a show-off, if I don't teach you a lesson, who else will?"
He then turned serious and asked Lancelot, "Son, tell me the truth, it won't hurt you. Why did you come to Huaxia this time? Aren't you usually on good terms with America? The Knight King is about to advance to King, and there's no reason for America to stop you."
After hearing Lin Xiang's words, Lancelot also became serious. He glanced around the table and then looked outside the villa.
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, the entire villa is filled with Lin family loyalists. The entire High Martial world now has at least four King-level Old Ancestors and over ten Quasi-Kings guarding it. No one can hear what you say."
Lancelot nodded reassuringly, "America has two races behind them. One is Asgard, but they've withdrawn many experts and have become quiet. The other is the Lich and Hell Knight races from the Undead tribe, who control America."
"They used the condition of allowing the Knight King to advance to King to get the Blood Race into Great Britain. But everyone knows the Blood Race feeds on human blood. The Knight King did not allow it, so they intended to take advantage of His Majesty's advancement to attack Great Britain and kill him."
"For this reason, when we left, we had already awakened the previous generation of Knights of the Round Table. However, these seniors only have 1 to 3 years left to live and cannot protect Great Britain for too long."
Lin Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "The previous generation of Knights of the Round Table should all be at the level of Guardian Quasi-Kings. Lancelot, tell me, how many Quasi-Kings and Guardian Quasi-King combatants do you currently have?"
Lancelot nodded and said, "Besides the 12 Knights of the Round Table from the previous generation, there are only myself and two royal guardians who are Guardian Quasi-Kings. We have more Quasi-Kings, 16 in the royal family, 20 in the Dragon Knight Order, and the remaining are the other 11 members of this generation's Knights of the Round Table besides myself."
Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Lancelot, there are two matters. The first is that Old Ancestor Da Yu has agreed to your request and will bring Old Ancestor Liu Che and the fifth-generation Grand Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. This is equivalent to one Human Emperor and three High-level Kings. Not only will they protect the Knight King's advancement, but they will also help you clear out the non-human forces in Great Britain."
"The second matter relies on Zhan'er. We will allow you to purchase a batch of Longevity Spirit Pills from Zhan'er, according to the number of your Quasi-Kings. After all, these spirit pills are too precious."
He then turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, trade the Longevity Spirit Pills to Great Britain based on headcount. Old Ancestor has investigated, and Great Britain is indeed a staunch ally of humanity. We should help such allies more."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "I understand, Grandpa Xiang. I will arrange it as soon as possible and try to deliver it to Senior Lancelot tomorrow."
Then Lin Zhan said to Lancelot, "Senior, Longevity Spirit Pills are extremely precious. They are spirit pills that can increase lifespan and restore vitality. Guardian Quasi-Kings can gain 15 years of lifespan, and their physical vitality will recover by 20%. Quasi-Kings will gain 20 years, and their physical vitality will recover by 30%. Of course, the price is also quite high. The transaction price for each Longevity Spirit Pill is 20 Quasi-King level crystal cores."
"Originally, the seller would not accept other resources, only requesting Quasi-King crystal cores for the transaction. But I know Great Britain does not have many experts and does not have the strength to hunt so many Quasi-Kings. Even if they have some reserves, they also need to support the cultivation of their Quasi-Kings. I can represent Huaxia and agree to let you trade with various resources. The Quasi-King level crystal cores will be paid for by Huaxia."
When Lin Zhan first stated the price, Lancelot was quite worried about how to pay. He didn't expect this problem to be directly solved by Huaxia.
Lancelot said gratefully, "Young friend Lin, thank you. We cannot let our friends suffer a loss. Great Britain is willing to pay an additional 20% of resources to Huaxia as a token of our appreciation."
Lin Zhan said with a smile, "Logically speaking, given my friendship with William and the alliance between Huaxia and Great Britain, I shouldn't ask for this 20% of resources. But every family has its own troubles. I won't hide it from you all. In one year, Huaxia will erupt in a great war with the Ten Thousand Races. It is estimated that the troops participating from the Ten Thousand Races will not be less than 50 million. I am so poor right now that I'm about to sell my blood."
Lancelot nodded and said, "Since we are allies, there's no need to be polite between us. Huaxia has shed blood on the battlefield to protect humanity. We cannot let our soldiers sacrifice in vain due to a lack of supplies."
"Have William first mobilize resources equivalent to 30 million Lord-level crystal cores and deliver them to young friend Lin within three days. When I return to Great Britain, I will mobilize resources equivalent to 350 million and send them to Huaxia within a month. In the future, if Huaxia needs any resources, we will satisfy them at the first opportunity."
Lin Zhan quickly said gratefully, "Senior Lancelot is right. We are all allies, so I won't say thank you. In the future, if Great Britain has any trouble, our Huaxia will definitely provide full support. I won't hide it from you all, my Lin family currently has, besides my second great-grandfather and Old Ancestor Di Xin, another Human Emperor in seclusion. Furthermore, the current Human Emperor leading humanity is my master. So it's not me boasting, the Lin family has considerable influence in Huaxia."
Lancelot was stunned. Who knew that such a scoundrel would have such a strong backing? It turned out that the entire strength of Great Britain couldn't compare to even a fraction of what this young man's family casually revealed.
He originally thought King Di Xin was powerful enough, but he didn't expect there to be two such terrifying existences behind the Lin family. It seemed William's judgment was very accurate. Based on this relationship alone, he would definitely recommend this young man as the next King of Great Britain.
