Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 958 222: The Lord’s Leisure Time (Part 2)

But the problem is, their academy trains all the [Wizard High-level College Elite Talent Reserve Scroll], meaning they'll all become wizards in the future, which doesn't quite align with the knights of the Golden Pansy Domain.

So Lin Rui could only give up and eventually chose the [Semi-Divine Artifact: Lu Wenbo's Secret Place of Enormous Wealth].

Looking at today's trade results from the wizard world, it was about providing various materials to the Golden Pansy Domain, enhancing the wealth production capacity of the territory.

Though its functionality is relatively singular, Lin Rui did not mind it much.

This was already sufficient, after all, the activation of this demigod-level miracle building had just started today, there's no way it could meet all the territory's needs in one go.

There will be plenty of time in the future, constantly trading with different planes, eventually, any shortcomings will be filled.

Therefore, after selling various materials, Lin Rui considered the remaining balance.

Today's trade with the Wizard Plane brought forty-seven billion Spirit Crystal Coins and tens of billions of units of high-tier resources to the entire territory. The mithril, a specialty of the wizard world, also totaled more than forty billion.

This allowed Lin Rui to calculate that it just barely solved the initial forced consumption of the [War Machine: Taboo Object of the Mechanicum: STC005: Dark Angel].

Lin Rui shook his head; indeed, as a lord, there's never a time to be idle.

Then he said to Caroline beside him: "I'll leave this here to you, see if there are any specialties in the territory that can be placed here. I'm going to find the Empress."

Caroline's eyes immediately lit up, and she asked: "Lord, are you going to find the Empress to solve the problem with the Dark Angel?"

Lin Rui spread his hands and said: "You're overthinking it, I'm just going to see my girlfriend, to enhance our relationship and communication. The problem of the Dark Angel, our territory will solve by itself."

Seeing Caroline's eyes widened, Lin Rui naturally said: "Is there a problem? I woke up today and haven't gone to see my adorable girlfriend yet. Can't I go find her and spend some time with her?"

A girl has established a romantic relationship with you, you've got to do some things that lovers do, right?

Don't say you don't know what to do or what to say.

When a girl likes you, even if you take her to lift weights, she finds you charming. You take her to the seaside to dig in the sand, she can play enthusiastically.

Otherwise, if you're playing games by yourself while she's daydreaming at home, what do you need a boyfriend for?

Caroline also hurriedly shook her head: "No…no problem. I just didn't think the Empress would need companionship like other girls do? How do you plan to enhance communication with her?"

It feels like the Empress has been above worldly concerns; does she really care about these?

"Tsk~" Lin Rui waved his hand and said: "My civil servant, once you fall in love, you'll understand."

After speaking, Lin Rui turned and left directly, riding a griffin to arrive at the palace before long.

Since Lin Rui returned, the territory began extensive construction again; another palace group, the Zodiac, has now risen from the ground.

Now the territory's Guardian Goddess style is becoming increasingly distinct.

And that Empress dressed in a luxurious crimson gown of the Twelve Flower Gods is undoubtedly the most unparalleled charm in the territory.

Her maid Lei dutifully guarded the palace front, holding a pack of sunflower seeds, sitting proudly on the bench next to the flowerbed, cracking and reading a drawing book.

When Lin Rui approached, he glanced and saw the title "The History of Elven Conquest."

The name seemed normal, but the illustrations were exceptionally bold!

Lin Rui instantly broke into a cold sweat; is this woman so heavy-tasting?

Upon seeing Lin Rui approaching, she immediately closed the book and asked: "Eh, Lord, you're here? Why do you seem a bit different from last night?"

"That might be because I'm more genuine today." Lin Rui pointed at the book in her hand, and asked: "Where did you get that?"

Is the seductive torture corrosion in the territory already this serious?

Lei lifted the drawing book without a care and asked: "This? It came from the elves, they contributed it to the Divine Ancient Dragon Library. I found it interesting and took a look."

"I had no idea that their world's elves were so powerful, imprisoning all things."

"Hiss~" Lin Rui was also incredibly shocked in his perception.

Lin Rui had heard varying tales about goblins and elves before, but hadn't expected the dark world's elves to be so powerful, imprisoning goblins for play.

They did not just imprison goblins; they imprisoned all races.

One aristocrat woman even imprisoned a seductive demon, drained it, and directly upgraded the sadistic level in place.

Even reaching the level of a demon, it turns out to be the principle of tiring out only the bull and not the plowed land.

If Lin Rui didn't have other matters to attend to, he would have certainly studied this sketchbook with Lei.

However, he needed to meet the Empress, so he bade farewell to Lei.

"The Empress is inside, isn't she?"

"Of course, if you didn't come to lead her out, she could stay inside for several months without stepping outside once."

Lei looked earnestly at Lin Rui and said: "So, make sure to accompany her more often in the future."

Lin Rui waved his hand: "Got it, I'm going in."

Walking into the palace, Lin Rui indeed found Wutong sitting by the lake, her long skirt flowing, elegant and dignified, a vision of grandeur.

Approaching her, she just glanced at Lin Rui faintly, not saying much, and turned her gaze back to the lake's surface.

Yet perhaps to accommodate Lin Rui, this time she finally showcased the content she usually viewed, the lake presenting clear scenes of knights undergoing tests, the myriad states of the world.

Lin Rui had heard Lusen mention the knight's test once, primarily about choices.

He once narratively described: "The first story is about two four or five-year-old kids fighting over a wooden sword, one kid poked a small piece of scalp on another kid with the sword. Then the injured kid's father, a thirty-something adult, directly went to the house, and while the kids were still playing side by side, gave the other kid a heavy slap across the face."

Audrey widened her eyes beside him: "A heavy slap across the face of a four-year-old child? He's crazy! And then?"

"Then? Then he also beat the kid's grandfather at home."

Then he killed the onlookers on the side, reasoning that "they kept watching from the side, constantly jabbering, their chatter annoyed me. Saying the man did no wrong, should act this way. If they were the man, they'd kill the other child. Since they think it's reasonable for an adult to kill a four-year-old, their logic should make killing them reasonable too, right?"

Audrey was stunned, questioning him: "They were just a bit daft, isn't killing them somewhat unreasonable?"

But Lusen replied confidently: "That four-year-old doesn't even understand right from wrong, was killed, reasonable? I'm using their logic on them, why is it suddenly unreasonable?"

The outcome was obvious, Lusen passed the knight's path test.

The Empress sat here, continuously observing how others make various choices, evidently still unable to come to terms with her past decisions.

However, Lin Rui did not wish to bring up the past anymore; saying any comforting words would be pointless, right? You say don't be sad, would a girl really let go of past sorrow just like that?

Thus it's better to look ahead and do something to bring the other joy, so Lin Rui directly went forward, holding her wrist, pulling her up, saying: "Come on, I'll take you to do something fun."

Wutong didn't coldly remain silent, she gently let Lin Rui hold her wrist as they walked out of the palace, cooperatively asking: "What's fun?"

"Dare to come with me, you'll know. It'll definitely please you."
