As they spoke.
Neat and heavy footsteps approached from afar.
Dozens of sturdy dwarves encased in fiery red heavy armor, looking like iron cans, entered from outside the Merchant Alliance.
"Who is causing trouble in the Black Stone Empire's capital?"
"Take them all away and lock them in the Black Stone Dungeon for two days."
As they spoke, the dwarf patrol took out specially made shackles and snapped them onto Dong Jianguo and the others.
They finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Oh my, being locked in the Black Stone Dungeon meant two days in the 'small dark room'.
"It's Darknight who should be locked up, he's the troublemaker."
Some of the Lighthouse and Maple Leaf Nation lords, growing angrier, shouted.
The patrol didn't indulge them.
"Those few barking dogs, three days of confinement; bark again, it's four days; bark again, and they'll be expelled from the Roland Inner Sea."
They were numb.
Completely numb.
Dong Jianguo and Marx no longer got heated or resisted.
Only their eyes.
Like blades, they wanted to cut Ling Ye into a million pieces.
One day in the 'small dark room' plus being blacklisted by the Roland Merchant Alliance.
This was a loss to eighteen generations of ancestors!
The shackles were magic-prohibiting shackles.
Once worn, they couldn't use their lord abilities.
Ling Ye watched the dwarf patrol escort them away.
And politely bid farewell: "Goodbye!"
Dong Jianguo and Marx were furious.
But dared not speak out.
Damn it, they couldn't afford to offend someone with connections!
They feared that if they said anything more, they would be directly expelled from the Roland Inner Sea.
Then they would lose even more.
As for Ling Ye, he only felt that his ears were finally quiet.
As a Marquis, he had many privileges.
If a fight really broke out, even if he killed Dong Jianguo and the others, Ling Ye would have a way to escape punishment.
But!
Killing Dong Jianguo would at most only make them lose a little lifespan.
As Lighthouse big shots, they had plenty of things to increase their lifespan.
A mere reduction of 20 years of lifespan was insignificant.
But if they were given the 'small dark room' package.
And blacklisted by the Roland Merchant Alliance, that would be fun.
This was more uncomfortable than directly killing them.
After all, lords who received the 'small dark room' package would also be affected in their future title promotions.
It was a big increase in the game difficulty for Dong Jianguo and the others.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford to kill, but the 'small dark room' had a better cost performance.
With those annoying flies dealt with.
Ling Ye continued to smash magic jars.
Switching to the VIP-exclusive golden hammer.
One hammer, one explosion of loot.
1st God-tier Magic Jar: Shattered Divinity +1.
2nd God-tier Magic Jar: Legion Awakening Template +1.
3rd High-tier Magic Jar: God-tier Crop +1.
4th High-tier Magic Jar: 3 billion Magic Crystals.
5th High-tier Magic Jar: Tier 10 Nest +1.
6th...
Freyre was stunned.
Ling Ye got loot with every hammer, how was that possible?
And they were all the most valuable rewards.
It was simply unheard of.
The other NPCs around were also stunned.
As for the Chosen Lords.
Some who received the 'small dark room' package were taken away.
The rest were scared away.
Afraid of somehow provoking Ling Ye and also getting the package.
So they didn't get to see such a wonderful scene.
-----------
One hour later.
Ling Ye put down the golden hammer and then integrated the magic jar rewards.
God-tier Items: Shattered Divinity *1, Divine Weapon Core *16, Divine Artifact Essence *15, God-tier Crop *32, Divine Equipment *18.
Resources: billion Magic Crystals, billion Food, 410 million Wood, 350 million Stone... 69 Exclusive Weapon Blueprints, 290,000 Exclusive Weapon Essence, 680 million Faith Power, 290,000 hours of Time Scrolls, 69 other Scrolls.
Nests: 185 Tier 5, 168 Tier 6, 139 Tier 7, 52 Tier 8, 20 Tier 9, 3 Tier 10.
The number of magic jars was about the same as in Demon Capital.
So the amount of rewards was similar.
Ling Ye converted the food into cash.
Adding the newly collected entrance fees, and Yin and Nalisha's quest rewards.
Ling Ye had over 190 billion Magic Crystals on hand.
With the Magic Crystals, the first thing to do was to redeem his Shattered Divinity.
"Chairman Freyre, it's a total of billion Magic Crystals, right?" Ling Ye said.
Freyre only then came back to his senses.
"Ah, yes, it's a total of billion."
Ling Ye traded the Magic Crystals over.
His gaze fell on the Shattered Divinity in Freyre's hand.
"Chairman Freyre, I have paid the Magic Crystals for the magic jars, this Shattered Divinity..."
Freyre was a little reluctant.
The value of a Shattered Divinity.
Was far more than billion Magic Crystals.
Although Ling Ye obtained it by getting something for nothing.
In theory, it was indeed Ling Ye's thing.
He could only bear the pain and return it.
With the Shattered Divinity in hand, this getting something for nothing was a complete success.
Not only did he get a bunch of rewards for free.
But he also had over 100 billion Magic Crystals left.
When he returned to Undying City, he would hide and evolve the obtained nests into trump card nests and then sell them.
That would be another several hundred billion Magic Crystals in his pocket.
A bloody profit, a huge bloody profit.
But that was not enough.
Ling Ye set his sights on Freyre's treasure.
"Chairman Freyre, I wonder if you have any other valuable items worth purchasing here."
Freyre could see that Ling Ye was ambitious.
He quickly said, "Of course, please follow me to the second floor, Your Majesty, to see our store's treasures."
Ling Ye thought he had a chance.
He followed Freyre to the second floor.
And saw the so-called treasures as he wished.
Like the Demon Empire, there were also three items.
A Tier 12 Elite Nest, 100 billion Magic Crystals.
A Super Weapon Core, 100 billion Magic Crystals.
A God-tier Fury Cannon Blueprint, 100 billion Magic Crystals.
Ling Ye took a look and made his decision.
"I want the Super Weapon Core."
As he said that, Ling Ye paid the Magic Crystals and completed the transaction.
It was still that saying.
Spending 100 billion Magic Crystals to buy a Tier 12 Elite Nest was a bloody loss for Ling Ye.
As for that God-tier Fury Cannon Blueprint.
Ling Ye also looked at it, it was indeed God-tier.
But he already had the Metal Storm System, the Elf Mother Tree, and the Demon Vines.
The Fury Cannon's attraction to him was also very average.
So he gave up.
After completing the transaction, Ling Ye left.
For the next day, he wanted to properly explore some of the Black Stone Empire's quests.
This was Ling Ye's habit.
Since he was here, he would take everything he could get!
