Chapter 243: Chapter 170: The Imperial People Want to Assassinate Me!

"Us?"

The old hunter was somewhat surprised.

He was well aware that Lord Lin Lan was different from those selfish and ruthless nobles, and now the vast majority of the citizens were genuinely grateful to the Ark Leader.

Yet the old hunter never imagined that Lord Lin Lan would actually let the people have the honor and glory of the Ark Kingdom’s first celebration!

"The establishment and development of the Ark Kingdom have never been my individual achievement and endeavor but our great journey collectively."

Lin Lan smiled, to him, it was only natural to do so.

He didn’t want to be someone who shouts slogans about redeeming the world but secretly enjoys feeling superior and draws a line between himself and the people.

Doing things honestly is more important than anything else.

Lin gazed at the boy’s face without blinking.

Even though he had established numerous strict laws, Lord Lin Lan himself never had an air of superiority; his first impression was always gentle and kind.

"Moreover, let me share some good news with you all ahead of time."

The Ark Leader winked at the black-haired girl: "Some workers have already taken the Light-Seeking Vehicle to the Eastern Border and Northern Border; once the foundation is laid, your quality of life will take another leap forward."

"Are you saying..."

Lin was slightly startled: "We can live in tall, beautiful houses in Lulin Town?"

"Of course, and those of you who voluntarily dedicated yourselves to the Ark Kingdom will get a house for free."

Lin Lan promised seriously with a smile: "This is the treatment every public official deserves."

The black-haired girl’s beautiful eyes immediately lit up, her face filled with disbelief and joy.

"Public official... Lin has become a public official..."

The old hunter beside her savored the pleasing phrase, his eyes suddenly moist, as he rubbed them, feeling his old bones hadn’t lived in vain.

Lin Lan planned to erect several tall buildings in the Eastern Border and Northern Border.

He needed to not only inspire people but also give them tangible benefits.

Lately, Eleanor has turned into a relentless transporting machine, but this Dragon Lady seemed to enjoy it; she was more eager than anyone in looting the Ideal City dungeons.

The pretty little villa adjacent to the Lord’s Mansion was filled with toys and treasures she picked up; Eleanor liked to snooze on her pile of treasures, lazily accepting Lisa’s feeding, living a carefree life...

Lin Lan suspected the Black-winged Calamity Master considered the entire Ark Kingdom her treasure nest.

It was rare to find a tranquil place without ’weight’; she wanted to move anything good to the island.

But to Lin Lan, the pace of a building every two days was still a bit slow.

Fortunately, the Feis trainees were crazily absorbing the blueprints provided by the bionic mechanical servants, many young people showing astonishing construction talent.

It won’t be long before they become vital construction talents on Ark Island.

The young people with soft ears seemed like monsters devouring and absorbing knowledge; many carpenters and blacksmiths had already submitted to those young ones.

The Sun Divine Kingdom enveloped Ark Island, and the Feis Race completely shook off the sea whispers that troubled them; their high inspiration and sensitivity abilities were now fully unleashed in the Ark Kingdom!

"Lord Lin Lan."

At this moment, Sami’s voice brought Lin Lan’s attention back; the giant stood blocking the door, bending down with some difficulty: "I have something to report to you."

Lin Lan nodded, signaling simply to the old hunter, and left the ward amid the black-haired girl’s reluctant gaze.

In the spacious office, Sami picked up a sand-flavored biscuit, his young giant eyes extremely solemn.

"Lord Lin Lan, have you ever considered why the Molecular Reconstructor would produce unreasonable products out of thin air?"

He spoke in a deep voice: "Because Celestial Principle technology is not only a gift from God but also a curse rooted in this world."

"Curse?" Lin Lan’s heart slightly tightened.

"I’ve noticed that people of the Third Era turned Celestial Principle God into their wish-fulfilling machine."

Sami scrolled through the formulas on the screen, frowning in worry: "I’m sure, even without the end times, the Celestial Principle God was forced into a dangerous position by its followers."

He sighed: "Gods born of truth were driven forward by faith and wishes, and parts of the equations unfavorable to civilization were discarded by followers, and thus ’errors’ were born."

Computer bugs...

The metaphor popped into Lin Lan’s mind fittingly.

Faith is poison; the demise of Celestial Principle civilization wasn’t solely caused by the end times.

"In my view, regular biscuits, Fake Philosopher’s Stone, Blood Activation Gel, these unreasonable products are also a form of Celestial Calamity pollution, all originating from Celestial Principle God’s madness. Over prolonged usage, they will certainly drag people into God’s nightmare."

Sami took a deep breath: "The reason this threat hasn’t broken out in the Ark Kingdom is because..."

He paused.

Something even more sinister overshadowed Celestial Principle’s pollution...

The giant quietly said: "Cough... it’s because your authority power is protecting the masses..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lin Lan slightly frowned: "Sami, will these products cause harm after leaving Ark Island?"

"No, they won’t."

Sami shook his head, immediately responding: "Currently, Celestial Principle products produced in the Ark Kingdom are very stable, I can assure you of that."

"But, the Celestial Principle creations salvaged from other archipelagos are countless, Lord Lin Lan."

The giant physician softly said: "They will certainly accelerate the demise of the Age of Navigation."

"I understand."

Lin Lan nodded seriously with a sober expression; he understood the principle that shared fate.

It now seemed the Empire’s problems were probably more severe than their local people imagined.

Good heavens, in such a dire situation, they’re still thinking of controlling the Nightmare Celestial Calamity?

He needs to have a good talk with Frost Falcon Duke...

·

The current Seagull Port had become quite orderly.

Looking at the three intact Alliance Battleships, everyone became more courteous.

The person-in-charge of the dock, Lumi, had successfully completed the repair work; the docks were crowded with heads, with many small nation sailors trying to make a living.

Goods flowed constantly from the docks, the golden Ark coins glittered in people’s hands, many had already scorched their mouths, forced to correct their unhygienic habit of biting the coins...

At the Fog Strait exit, Ramses Prince hugged a soft-boned female slave, staring blankly at the shore.

"How is this possible... How is this possible..."

Like a basin of ice water pouring down, Ramses suddenly shivered: "How could those bumpkins defeat the Alliance’s warship legion?!"

Beside Angsak Prince, a beautiful woman wearing a veil sighed deeply.

"Great Sun..."

The High Priest’s brows were full of unresolved sorrow: "Why do you favor these lowly ones?"

Was the number of juvenile sacrifices Golden Kingdom prepared last time insufficient?

Ramses kept murmuring in a dazed state, supported by the female slave, his steps somewhat shaky.

"Please pull yourself together, Ramses."

The High Priest turned, speaking in a stern tone: "You’ve indulged yourself during this time, as a future monarch, you must learn to restrain yourself appropriately."

"Indeed, I went overboard celebrating the Ark Kingdom’s fall in bed..."

Ramses forced a smile onto his face: "High Priest, let’s go back... I’m afraid..."

The next moment, sudden frost winds swept across the sea.

Angsak Prince’s expression froze instantly, turning little by little, discovering an eerie ’small island’ without masts or sails leaving the Fog Strait; the surrounding sea surface was already covered with shallow frost.

——It’s the Empire’s Black Dream submarine!

Ramses was terrified, his legs gave way, falling onto the deck.

"Protect me! Protect me!!"

He shouted in panic, frightened enough for snot bubbles to pop out: "I get it! The Ark bumpkins defeated the Alliance legion with the Empire’s help!!"

The prince’s voice twisted: "Lin Lan must have reported to the Empire, the Imperial People are here to assassinate me!!"
