CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 54 TITAN SKY MOUNTAIN_2

In this chaotic situation, everyone from the Lusen Chamber of Commerce was trapped in the camp. With just a word from Lord Lin Rui, within less than ten minutes, this place would flow with rivers of blood, and everyone would be slaughtered.

Orit could only continuously reassure himself that, based on previous interactions, Lord Lin Rui wasn’t the kind of devil who kills without blinking. This Lord was quite sunny and easy-going, not someone who would kill the innocent indiscriminately.

But evidently, he had interacted with Lin Rui, yet hadn’t come across the troop types of the territory.

As Lu Weite’s words fell, a dazzling blade light instantly flashed from a bewitching purple long knife, immediately resting on Lu Weite’s neck. The blade exuded sharpness, its cold edge already embedded in the flesh, a mere inch forward would cause fatal damage.

Silver Moon’s eyes were ice-cold, emotionless, as she said: "Lord, should we turn them all into undead?"

...Is this killer embryo really the meat-loving girl who wanted me to grill meats?

The atmosphere was extremely tense; everyone from the Lusen Chamber of Commerce was stiff all over, nervously paying close attention here. The life and death of everyone were in the hands of the young Lord; a simple nod from him could see everyone chopped to pieces in an instant.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Rui extended a hand to grasp Silver Moon’s right arm, taking her long knife away, and said: "No need for such heavy killing intent; these are over a hundred living people!"

Everyone let out a deep sigh of relief, incredibly thankful that the Lord they encountered was gentle in character, righteous in nature, and didn’t bully the weak.

Stopping Silver Moon’s killing intent, Lin Rui turned to Lu Weite and said: "Fair justice is humanity’s greatest achievement, which I also appreciate. But from the perspective of fair judgment, how much did your Lusen Chamber of Commerce contribute to this battle, how much loot can you distribute, and how much compensation do you want?"

Lu Weite certainly didn’t truly want to claim loot from Lin Rui; he wasn’t insane. This matter, even in the Judgement Court, was more advantageous to the Golden Pansy Domain. After all, it was the Golden Pansy Domain that saved the Lusen Chamber of Commerce; ungratefulness is one of the most scorned sins in the Empire.

Lu Weite merely wished for an opportunity to negotiate with Lin Rui.

"Lord Lin Rui, our Lusen Chamber of Commerce does not dare to hope for compensation. On the contrary, we hope to offer you a satisfactory compensation price. Would you consider giving us the Hero’s Heart? After all, your territory already has two heroes, so you should not be lacking heroes. A vast amount of wealth is far more suitable for the development of your territory than a single Hero’s Heart."

The old man spoke very accurately; Lin Rui currently couldn’t even gather the sacrificial materials for one Hero’s Heart, let alone that he had a super grand plan needing unparalleled financial support.

Hence, Lin Rui said blandly: "It’s not out of the question to let you have it, but you at least need to tell me why the Ogre army is crazily attacking you. The steward was captured by Ogres outside, the camp was attacked by the Ogre army. What exactly do you have that the Ogres want? If you say nothing, that would be an insult to my intelligence."

"This..."

"This..."

Lu Weite and Orit exchanged a glance, hesitating whether to reveal the truth, using one kind of treasure to exchange for another.

Ultimately, Lu Weite made a decision; the treasure the chamber had obtained, though precious, could only be traded once. For the chamber, having a hero capable of cross-plane trading was evidently of far greater long-term significance. Each additional hero in the chamber would cause the wealth growth rate to surge dramatically.

"To be honest with Lord Lin Rui, our caravan discovered a treasure in Bloodbath Mountain this time, which aroused the Ogres’ covetous desires, prompting them to launch a frenzied attack on us. Our caravan’s guards were only equipped to deal with ordinary logging specifications, numbering over two hundred people, so they couldn’t withstand their assault."

After speaking, Lu Weite took out from his backpack a treasure emitting a milky white glow.

[Legendary Level · Natural Wonders · Titan Sky Mountain Cliff: The Sky Titans once carved massive fortresses into Sky Mountain—those rugged stone castles overlooked the shimmering sea of clouds. Each castle embodied the Power of Thunder of the Sky Titan, providing protection for the cave beast groups and ancient Giant Beasts below the Sky Mountain. All soldiers in the territory gain the Power of Thunder, making the physique extremely active, Life Value Limit +5%, recovery speed +1/minute, Thunder Resistance +5%, attack accompanied by 15% Thunder Damage. Beast group Ancestral Regression Phenomenon probability +0.5%, body size +10%.]

Lu Weite introduced to Lin Rui: "The Ogres once had a Battle of Heaven with the Sky Titans. It was precisely this Battle of Heaven that laid the foundation for the rise of the Ogre race. They attacked Sky Mountain one by one; atop each mountain, there was a Sky Titan, even though the Ogres suffered heavy losses, as long as they won, there would be an abundance of food provided. This caused the Ogre race to reproduce extremely prosperously. Sky Mountain was utterly devastated in this ancient Battle of Heaven. This cliff is one of the essences of Sky Mountain; it can be placed in the territory to form a Sky Mountain."

"Sky Mountain is the best place for the territory’s beast group and also the best source of food for the Ogres. Any Ogre Lord with a Sky Mountain will leap into being a great tyrant ruling a vast area."

This Natural Wonder can currently only form a Sky Mountain Cliff, but the issue is not significant; Lin Rui can enhance it through Divine Sacrifice.

However, the cost, if borne by the Golden Pansy Domain, would empty even the Golden Pansy Domain’s warehouse, so the only option was to pin hopes on the Lusen Chamber of Commerce.
