Chapter 427: Chapter 369: Selling Prisoners! Shocking Naseng!
At this moment, Rica was hanging onto Insomnia, while the Five-Colored Dragon Mother held Lin Ke’s hand, warmly engaging him.
The others were in a daze.
Rica, hmm, that was Rica, very sensible.
The Insomnia Emperor asked, "Son-in-law, I recall these people are your captives, right? What do you plan to do with them?"
He pointed to the group wearing the magic-banning handcuffs, those strong individuals who had been captured by Lin Ke.
Lin Ke immediately understood, the Insomnia Emperor was backing him up!
So he smiled and said loudly, "As long as the price is right, they can all be redeemed."
Price is right, redemption!
Originally, in Lin Ke’s imagination, these captives would be subjected to all sorts of difficulties after being brought back.
Even though the Insomnia Emperor was powerful, two fists alone would have trouble fending off so many hands.
With so many legends and dominators here, it would likely be hard to suppress any commotion.
But in the end, he still wanted to gain benefits; after all, building territories and planes required resources and money!
Thinking about it, he became the Duke of Lava, and the Gula Kingdom should logically reward him with several planes.
This time on the Faser Plane, it took three years to develop.
The next plane, Lin Ke wanted to develop it faster.
Of course, if those people knew Lin Ke thought three years to develop a large plane was too slow, they would probably curse him to death.
This time on the Faser plane, a key aspect was the participation of the Black and White Knight Order; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Sky God at the start.
"Price is right? I imagine everyone here has some prestige and wouldn’t bid recklessly." The Insomnia Emperor chuckled as he glanced around, especially at the Sun God and the chief of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer.
That tone was clearly provocative, and Lin Ke even saw a hint of anticipation in the Insomnia Emperor’s eyes.
"What are you planning to do?" The Insomnia Emperor looked around; no one dared to meet his gaze, so he kindly turned to look at Lin Ke again.
"Be a bit casual." The Five-Colored Dragon Mother also showed kindness, like an ordinary mother-in-law.
Lin Ke squinted, realizing that something must have happened in these three years, maybe the Insomnia Emperor had directly overpowered all the Dominator level powerhouses?
"How about this... Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I’m planning to hold an auction and a presentation at the wondrous site in Great Wilderness City." Lin Ke wanted to maximize the benefits: "The time will be at the end of this year!"
Auctions and presentations!
The auction could maximize benefits.
And the presentation was another direction Lin Ke had in mind, regarding some of his layout.
"End of the year?" The Insomnia Emperor raised an eyebrow: "Why not today?"
"Father-in-law, we need to give people time to gather funds, and spread the word so more can hear the news... I believe my batch of high-quality slaves will attract a lot of attention." Lin Ke smiled.
With his father-in-law present, there was nothing to fear.
Sure enough, Lin Ke’s words made the Insomnia Emperor’s eyes light up: "Good, good, I happen to have some friends too; I’ll check if those old fellows are interested in studying rare bloodlines."
At this time, the chief of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer couldn’t help but speak: "Your Majesty, Lord Lava, we’re all members of Naseng, why not show some respect..."
Lord Lava referred to Lin Ke, who was now the Duke of Lava.
"Dear Chief, you can’t put it that way... I remember when I was young, I met an old lady named Romela, and she told me that strength is the origin of respect."
Romela was one of the inspectors who went to Azaenn Castle to hold Ove accountable, as back then Ove nearly caused a city’s destruction due to the actions of Baron Sangdir against Lin Ke.
"Romela?" The Ice Crystal Giant Deer frowned, with his status, he couldn’t possibly interact with people at such a low level; he frowned, saying: "I don’t know..."
"Enough, no need to say more." The Insomnia Emperor casually waved his hand, exuding a natural aura of authority: "Then it’s set at the end of the year, yes, very good, great, it just so happens your Great Wilderness City has an event at the year’s end, right? Perfect for combining them."
The latter sentence was spoken to Lin Ke.
"Yes." Lin Ke nodded lightly.
Thus, the people of Naseng once again recognized the Insomnia Emperor’s tendency to protect his own.
"In that case, see you at the end of the year." The face of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer turned somber, the mighty Dominator level powerhouse, a force that had intimidated countless lesser planes, had to bow under the Insomnia’s pressure.
After speaking, the Ice Crystal Giant Deer transformed into white light and disappeared from the spot.
The Insomnia Emperor didn’t intervene: "That’s it for today, the second Naseng Council will be held in ten years, I hope everyone will keep up the good work!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Thus, the previously motionless and statue-like powerful figures breathed a sigh of relief and left the great hall one after another.
Lin Ke took a deep look in the direction where the Ratman Monarch and the Sun God left, then withdrew his gaze.
"Duke of Lava!" The Minotaur Chief greeted, "We’re heading back too! We’ll come to claim rewards in a few days, let’s have a drink at the tavern then!"
"Hold on a moment!" Lin Ke quickly called out to him: "Going back this time, you might be troubled by your Monarch and the Sun God, right?"
"Troubled? That coward." The minotaur spat: "He wouldn’t dare! We Minotaur Race may not be the top upper lifeforms, but as upper lifeforms, he wouldn’t dare do much."
Upper lifeforms, a race just below the Holy Lifeforms, held significant influence in the Holy Life Alliance.
"Alright, if you need any help, feel free to contact me from the Scarlet Wilderness." Lin Ke felt a bit regretful, he had intended to lure the Minotaur Race away: "I’ll probably return to the Great Wilderness soon."
But thinking about it, the Minotaur Race abandoning their upper life status to become ordinary citizens in Great Wilderness City seemed meaningless.
"Certainly, certainly." The Minotaur Chief laughed heartily, stepping forward to give Lin Ke a strong, slightly overwhelming hug.
Lin Ke returned the hug and then looked towards the Lizardman.
The Lizardman Race, for some reason, sided with him, belonging to the assassination organization of the Extreme West Countries — Despair Pond.
"Duke of Lava, I hope for more cooperation with the Scarlet Wilderness in the future." The leader of the lizardmen elegantly thumped his chest to express respect to Lin Ke.
"Sure, I’ll give the instructions." The Scarlet Wilderness had a well-established intelligence system but lacked assassins, especially at middle and high levels.
Next was the Elephantman Tribe.
Needless to say, the Elephantman Tribe decided to return and bring their weak and elderly, then migrate entirely to Great Wilderness City.
Lin Ke also planned to return and start mass production of food, as he had brought along some grain seeds from the Faser.
Of course, the urgent matters included learning about the events that transpired in Naseng over these three years to make appropriate arrangements and strategies.
He was currently severely lacking in information.
As Lin Ke and others rested in the abyss, gathering information, the news of his wanting to sell captives spread.
Naseng was stirred into a tremendous uproar.
