Chapter 199: "Nothing to Do"
Lin Xiao shamefully escaped the pre-war arrangement meeting on the grounds of exercising Helena.
Even Sifna was given a mission, but he was the only one who was left at ease.
Of course, Lin Xiao was also very satisfied with this arrangement.
As a top killer, he decided to let himself relax once in a while.
"Lord Midnight!"
Lin Xiao, who had nothing to do, wandered around the "Knowledge Hall" at the bottom of the tower, but happened to meet the elf princess Winnie, who was "rescued" by him from the Colosseum.
Now Princess Winnie is not only the ambassador of the Elven Kingdom to the Demon Country, but also learns the knowledge of the Demon Dao in the magic academy of the Demon Country.
"Is your father still dealing with the rebellion in the country?"
Lin Xiao casually picked up Winnie, who was kneeling on one knee, and took back the bag of "sweet mouse shortbread" he had just bought in his hand into the storage space.
I don't know if it was because of Sifna's influence, but this ruthless killer even occasionally chooses to taste this strange snack unique to the world of Alpha.
"Father, he ......"
Winnie's appearance has been restored, and her face is no longer the hideous and terrifying scar, but she has a peerless appearance that is in line with the "elf princess".
"Father, he didn't go well in suppressing the rebellion."
"The puppet warrior you lent him was strong, but he didn't follow his orders very much."
"With the protection of the puppet warriors, those elven elders can't help their father, but their father can't completely eradicate them."
After listening to what the princess said, Lin Xiao reacted.
At the beginning, he only handed over the autonomic puppet to the elf king Cecion, but did not give specific instructions to the puppet.
Self-discipline dolls have a certain sense of self.
Although it is only a puppet, it can sometimes behave less friendly to people who are not its true owners.
"I'm afraid that Cecion is too weak, and I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning, so that self-discipline puppet will not obey his command, right?"
Thinking like this, Lin Xiao grabbed Winnie and opened the space passage under the surprised gazes of the people around him.
In the next second, the two of them appeared in front of the gate of the Elven Palace.
"Who are you?"
The guards guarding the gate belonged to the forces of the Elven Elders' House, and when they saw the princess and a strange man suddenly appear at the gate of the palace, they immediately became alarmed.
"Hurry up and inform Grand Elder Arufa!"
The head of the guards had been specially explained by Arufa, the chief of the Elven Elders' House, that if Princess Winnie brought someone back to China, he must be notified as soon as possible.
The House of Elders knew that Vinnie, as the ambassador to the Wizard Country, once she brought people back, there was a high probability that she would bring strong reinforcements from the Wizard Kingdom to Cecion.
"Grass, this damn woman, actually brought back another reinforcement to that kid at Cecion?"
Arufa, who received a message from the leader of the guards, was shocked.
Previously, Cecion had brought back a master from nowhere, and he had already made the Elders' House suffer.
Arufa still vividly remembers how terrifying the amazing strength displayed by the unsmiling "master" was.
Fortunately, the "master" was very arrogant and did not seem to follow Cecion's orders.
In this way, the power of the royal family and the House of Elders can barely maintain a relative balance.
Now, if Winnie had brought in another reinforcement from the Demon Wizard Country, the life of the House of Elders would be sad.
Arufa was puzzled.
As far as he knew, the Demon Nation was facing a great war with the Holy Fire Cult.
At such a critical juncture, how could it be possible to send reinforcements to help Cecion?
"No, I'll have to inform the others to get rid of Secion before the people invited by Winnie see him!"
Arufa, who was about to contact the other elders, suddenly had a flash in front of him.
When he came to his senses, he found himself standing at the gate of the palace.
Not only that, but the more than thirty elders of the House of Elders were also neatly standing beside him.
"Everyone's here? Are there any more that have slipped through the net? ”
Lin Xiao glanced at the stunned Winnie beside him, and asked expressionlessly.
"Who are you? What are you going to do......"
Before Arufa finished speaking, the man had suddenly exploded and turned into a large pool of blood mist.
Under the stunned gaze of the elders, Lin Xiao took out a large stack of servant contract scrolls from his arms and handed them to Vinnie.
"If you don't want to die, sign a pact with her."
"I have limited patience and limited time, understand?"
Facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and huddles are futile.
About five minutes later, the House of Elders system, which had interfered with the power of the Elven Kingdom's royal family for thousands of years, came to an end.
"Wait, Lord Midnight, I'm going to ask my father to come and see you?"
"No need, your father's enemy has been eliminated, and it is rare for you to return to China, presumably your father and daughter have a lot to say, so I won't bother."
The reason why Lin Xiao helped Cecion get rid of the Elven Elder's House was just because of Perfect Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, not because he wanted anything in return.
"This is a teleportation talisman, you can use this thing to teleport back to the magic country after you take care of domestic affairs."
After Lin Xiao handed Winnie a small glittering stone, he activated his magic and returned to the "Hall of Knowledge" at the bottom of the "Tower of Stars".
"Lord Midnight!"
“……”
Lin Xiao looked at Trissy, the orc girl who was running towards him, and could only stuff the "sweet mouse shortbread" he had just touched back into the storage space.
Gently pushing away Triss who was holding his arm, Lin Xiao frowned and thought about it.
It's different from handing over a self-discipline puppet to Cecion at will.
At the beginning, I set the two dolls to protect and monitor Triss, and then handed them over to the orc girl.
With the exact logic of behavior, the puppet shouldn't be a demon, right?
"What's the matter with you?"
Triss didn't seem to notice Lin Xiao's cold eyes.
She wagged her tail as she said, "Midnight-sama, this is my ledger, recording the expenses of this time, please take the time to look at it......"
Triss is responsible for urging Mudbeard to recruit artisans in the Dwarven Realm.
In order to prevent the gambling mud whiskers from squandering their money, Lin Xiao also deliberately asked Triss to manage the funds used to recruit and purchase dwarven rune materials.
As soon as he heard that it was serious, the expression on Lin Xiao's face softened.
He took the ledger from Triss and frowned.
Actually, this kind of thing should not have been his business.
But because Triss was arranged by him, and because of a certain sense of guilt for escaping the "pre-war meeting", Lin Xiao found a seat in the "Knowledge Hall" and sat down, and carefully looked through the orc girl's ledger.
"Hmm......"
Seeing that Lin Xiao's face was getting colder and colder, Triss couldn't help but be a little worried.
To assist in the establishment of the Wizard King's Capital, Mudbeard hired more than a thousand high-ranking dwarven craftsmen.
The food, clothing, housing, transportation, and employment wages of more than 1,000 people had to be taken out of the 10 billion gold coins that Lin Xiao had allocated to her at the beginning.
In addition, building a series of runes engraved on the Wizard Residence requires the purchase of a large number of rune materials.
Therefore, a small half of the 10 billion gold coins have already been spent.
"Great, sir...... These expenses are not to be saved, if you hire an intermediate rune master, the effect of the runes carved in the seal may not be as good as it is now......"
There's actually a lot of pressure on Triss.
Not so long ago, she was just an orc slave.
Now he is suddenly in charge of an unimaginably large sum of money.
The girl was anxious every day, for fear that her expenses would be too large and she would fail Lin Xiao, who gave her this wealth.
"You've disappointed me."
Lin Xiao's words made Trissy's heart fall into an ice cellar.
"Lord Midnight...... I'm going to talk to the suppliers of rune materials, so that they can provide materials with lower prices and more cost-effective materials, and the wages of the dwarves can also be reduced......"
Looking at Trissy, who was already about to cry, Lin Xiao didn't feel a little strange.
"Why not choose the best materials?"
"Why don't you hire a special runemaster?"
"Why don't you spend money?"
Faced with the three questions of Lord Midnight, Triss was completely dumbfounded.
"Great, sir, what do you mean ......"
"I mean, it's all the best."
"Yes, but the funds ......"
"Money is not an issue for me."
Lin Xiao said, then took out ten more savings cards with 10 billion gold coins and handed them to Tris.
"Remember, replace all the runes now with the best functions and effects, and all the runemasters will hire special grades."
"Gotta be perfect, you know?"
Triss took the 100 billion coins, which were the culprit for the slight drop in the price of gold in the Continent of Alpha, and nodded dumbly.
"Alright, you can get busy."
After dealing with Triss's matter, Lin Xiao was also a little tired.
However, he did not have a chance to be idle.
Because, he met the dean of the Magic Academy of the Wizard Country, O'Neri.
"Lord Midnight, why are you here alone?"
Ou Nerui had seen Lin Xiao's strength.
In her eyes, Lin Xiao is the true god of magic.
On the day when the old Demon King was destroyed, Oni didn't have time to ask Lin Xiao for knowledge about the Demon Dao.
How could she let go of Lin Xiao, who was "idle"?
"My lord, do you have time to visit the Academy of Magic?"
Lin Xiao looked at Ou Nerui with an eager face, and suddenly remembered what Avar said before, that there was no World Book in the New University Library.
Since it has been decided to rebuild the Demon Guiding Country, how can there be no "Book of the World"?
"Well, I can go with you."
O'Neri, who didn't expect Lin Xiao to agree, was of course overjoyed when he saw that Lin Xiao actually agreed to him.
"After the tour, I will reinvent the 'Book of the World', is it convenient for you?"
"Reinventing the Book of the World?"
O'Neille stayed for a long time before he nodded and said, "It's convenient, it's so convenient." ”
In this way, Lin Xiao spent a lot of effort to teach Ornie and the apprentices of the Academy of Magic some of his own comprehension of the Demon Dao.
Before leaving the Academy of Magic, he also used super-level magic and the power of great cause and effect to recreate the "Book of the World" that explains everything.
In the end, Lin Xiao also created a library pavilion that was more perfect than the "Blazing Sun Realm" in one step.
"Whew, it's finally over."
Lin Xiao, who breathed a sigh of relief, was not idle.
Since then, he has been involved in the army building of the Wizard Kingdom, participated in the court meetings of King Avar, and even helped Fastin, who has succeeded to become the king of Valrhona, deal with family disputes.
When no one came to "trouble" Lin Xiao anymore, it was already dark.
The lonely Demon God of the Destruction of the World sat in a public courtyard somewhere in the Demon Guiding Country, holding the bag of uneaten "Sweet Mouse Crackers", looking up at the stars in the sky.
"The taste of 'Sweet Mouse Cracker' is not as good as 'Mai Lang Cracker', don't believe you try it."
Looking at Sifna, who got up to her side at some point, and took a large bag of snacks from her, Lin Xiao finally had a sense of relaxation in this "busy" day.
