Chapter 346: Chapter 294: Confrontation! Lady Yongge Arrives
To actually come up with such a plan...
Engaging with foreign visitors, this plan is undeniably bold.
But Lin Ke actually knows that several groups of Faser People have already gone to where "Lin Ke" is to make contact.
"Lin Ke" entertained them well, after all, he needed to spread his reputation far and wide.
However, the results have not been very good. No schools or sects have sought power, only some wild mages and ordinary people.
Useful, but not very useful.
Unless there’s an organizer, but these schools, being beneficiaries, have no intention of betraying their class.
So now Lin Ke has to take action himself.
This time, it’s a collaboration between me and myself!
"So, what do we need to do, my great Lord Flame Demon?" The madwoman’s eyes were filled with fervor, "Should we just kill them?"
Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)?
Are you crazy?
Everyone was speechless, this is just too crazy.
Your thin arms and legs, you’d get slapped away in an instant if you went up...
But after the madwoman interrupted, the heavy atmosphere eased up a bit.
"Kill? No, we cooperate." Lin Ke pondered, "I remember that great being said he came in peace."
"That’s true, but I fear it might be a lie..." Andor’s teacher saw that the tide couldn’t be turned, so he could only offer some advice: "Then I’ll let someone below go and probe them a bit..."
It’s not a substantial suggestion, just the simplest approach, normally this is how it’s done.
However, Lin Ke waved his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked out the window, "No, the first time, I’ll go myself!"
"What?!"
"This... is too dangerous!"
"Lord Flame Demon King is invincible!"
The reactions of the thirteen people were different, with the madwoman cheering while the others’ expressions changed.
Contacting such an unknown terrifying being, shouldn’t we test the waters first?
The bottom tier of the schools could be used as stones.
"No, they are equals with me... Besides, they may not accurately grasp the intentions of those foreign visitors, and could very well mess it up."
Lin Ke insisted on this, and seeing this, no one tried to change his mind.
But while the thirteen and Lin Ke were discussing the specific matters, a cold female voice rang out from outside.
"Flame Demon Buck, come out and see me!"
The voice was imposing and resounded throughout the entire Flame Demon School.
The headquarters of the Flame Demon School is quite large, incorporating the original Mountain Fire school and some buildings purchased using magical abilities.
These buildings Lin Ke calls Faser Towers, which are essentially houses for the Faser People.
The Flame Demon School’s headquarters, when combined, already contains dozens of Faser Towers!
And now, outside the perimeter of these dozens of Faser Towers, a group of people were gathered on the street, coldly staring at the headquarters of the Flame Demon School.
Some passersby upon seeing this either stayed to watch the spectacle or wisely hurried away from the place.
Some were affected by the aftermath of fighting, be it buildings or people.
Soon, Lin Ke, accompanied by the thirteen core members and a large number of subordinates who joined the Flame Demon School, came down and spotted the group led by that woman.
He immediately had a guess.
Indeed!
As soon as he reached the gates of the Flame Demon School, the woman spoke.
"I am Yongge, you killed our Song of the Torrent member Alola. Either compensate me, or... I will destroy your school!"
Lady Yongge’s expression was cold.
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow.
This Lady Yongge had a tall and attractive figure, dressed in luxurious attire, her demeanor seemed quite refined.
But sadly, not much intelligence!
Lin Ke shook his head and said, "I’ll give you a chance too, considering it’s not easy reaching level ten, if you bring Song of the Torrent and merge it into my Flame Demon School, I won’t kill you."
Level ten mage!
In Faser, how difficult is it to reach that level?
Even in Naseng, it’s not that easy, for instance, Uncle Billy was only an eighth-level [butler] back then.
Of course, it’s not about pity now, but rather not wanting the hassle.
The more he learned, the more Lin Ke realized...
Schools may not necessarily stand alone!
There’s a high chance that behind schools stands a sect, behind sects stands a temple, and behind temples, gods stand.
Defeat a minor one, the major one comes out; defeat a major one, an elder comes out; defeat an elder, an ancestor comes out.
It’s simply exhausting.
Of course, some schools and sects are independent, but such information is secretive, and Lin Ke cannot fathom if Song of the Torrent sect has any backing.
Anyhow, Mountain Fire certainly doesn’t, or else they wouldn’t be thinking of following him.
"We merge with the Flame Demon School?" Lady Yongge sneered, and the people behind her burst into laughter.
"Don’t you know our Lady Yongge has actually surpassed the legend and reached the ’Sanctuary’?"
Behind Lady Yongge, someone taunted Lin Ke.
Sanctuary?
What’s that?
Lin Ke looked at the few people behind him, whether original Mountain Fire members or wild mages, all looked bewildered.
"Foolish wild mages! Sanctuary is the realm beyond legends! Sanctuary ranges from level one to ten, and beyond that are the great deities!" Lady Yongge said with a tone of pride and disdain:
"I surpassed to level ten a long time ago, but hid it due to a few foes... Never thought they didn’t show up, but you did, ignorant and lowly wild mage."
At this point, Lady Yongge shook her head, "I’ll give you a chance, wild mage reaching the legend is not easy, if you are willing to be my servant, perhaps in a hundred years you might break through to Sanctuary..."
"Of course, during this period, you must become my lowliest, most humble, most obedient, and most compliant servant; you must abandon your family, friends, and lovers, wholeheartedly serving me."
Upon finishing, Lin Ke was dumbstruck.
This... are there really such people?
But considering the gap in understanding between the two parties, Lin Ke let it go.
Humans are not outwardly bigger than cows or horses, but when this human wields a Gatling gun, cows and horses remain just cows and horses.
And after Lady Yongge finished speaking, some from the opposite side, behind Lady Yongge, looked at Lin Ke with expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
This made Lin Ke wonder, if there were powers beyond Naseng, would there also be nobles as ignorant and arrogant as Lady Yongge?
"Flame Demon, aren’t you going to surrender quickly?"
"Come and gently kiss Lady Yongge’s toes!"
"Truly an enviable guy."
The crowds shouted, seeming more like lackeys than mages.
Lin Ke chuckled, looked back and asked, "What do you think?"
Andor cautiously looked at Lin Ke, "Lord Buck, you wouldn’t..."
Lin Ke sighed, "Do you think I’m that kind of person?"
Seeing everyone looking at him anxiously and intently.
He had to smile and shake his head, then turned to Lady Yongge and said, "Alright, in return for the entertainment you’ve provided me, I’ll take you in as a maid."
