Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 792 - 125 Task Settlement_2

Lin Rui immediately gave him a glare, this guy coveted his Weiwei and kept making trouble for him, he was just naturally annoying, no need to be polite with him.

Lin Rui sharply retorted, "Then how come he just happens to appear in front of me? Why doesn't he appear in front of you? Surely it's not because he thinks you're ugly too, right!"

The word "too" was emphasized heavily by Lin Rui.

Oland's neck instantly flushed with anger, he himself was a Commander and a super-strong entity among the Elves. His demeanor and cultivation were extremely impressive, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't let himself get upset.

But he immediately understood, the "too" from Lin Rui was mocking that Rose wasn't interested in him, completely indifferent towards him.

This directly hit his sore spot, making him furious with embarrassment.

He immediately roared, "You lucky bastard, watch out not to run into me on the battlefield, or I will definitely kill you!"

Seeing him with his hand on the hilt, filled with killing intent, Lin Rui had no doubt that if given the chance, he would indeed dare to draw his sword and kill.

Sure enough, being the Empress's nephew, he could get away with anything!

Lin Rui immediately darted to hide behind Rose, even wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind, laying his right hand on her flat belly, and patted her, saying, "Hey! Hey! You Elves aren't planning to break your promise, are you? He's about to kill someone, you have to protect me."

Rose angrily slapped away his restless hand, stomped on his foot hard, and of course knew this guy Lin Rui was taking advantage to get close, deliberately showing intimacy to anger Oland.

Oland's strength was similar to hers, but Lin Rui could easily block her strikes; did he really need protection?

"Behave yourself! Why do you two act like fighting bulls the moment you meet?"

Though Lin Rui's foot was in great pain, he endured it, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor as he held Rose tighter, saying, "Isn't it because he covets you? I have to ruthlessly shatter his illusions."

Rose tried to push him away, but Lin Rui held her tightly without letting go, saying, "If you push me again, I'll reveal the secrets between us to everyone!"

"Secrets!"

"Secrets?"

The exclamations rang out simultaneously, with Rose and Oland both looking incredulously at Lin Rui, wondering what secrets they possibly had?

Oland's face instantly turned ashen; did they already have intimate contact? He had known Rose for a thousand years without success, and now after just a few days, Lin Rui had succeeded?

Rose was even more afraid; what secret did she have with him? If she asked now, he could probably just make something up!

In front of so many people, Rose didn't want to hear him spread rumors, so she immediately softened her tone, gave him a glare, and said, "Don't say another word! Sit down quickly!"

Rose was clear of conscience, not caring about such things, and others weren't interested in invading her privacy. Even if she had feelings for this young human, it was her freedom and pleasure.

Only Oland's face remained utterly furious, staring daggers at Lin Rui, wishing he could tear Lin Rui apart.

But just then, Grand Marshal Xinglu spoke up, and he had to calm down.

Grand Marshal Xinglu was quite generous, possibly because he didn't really care about that little bit of wealth.

"No matter what, Setra appeared in your direction, and you've successfully scouted the direction of the Graveyard's attack, which means you've completed the task. We Elves will, of course, keep our word."

Lin Rui was immediately overjoyed, as scouting Setra's movements was a very important combat mission.

The system's voice immediately sounded: [Ding, completed Forest Influence Task · Imperial Recruitment Order II: Dark Siege. The dark army is besieging the forest's barrier; endless dark tides have drowned our perception of the outside world. Threats are brewing in the unknown darkness, and the military joint command requires you to lead your troops to find the enemy's main forces in the darkness.]

[Task rewards received: Spirit Crystal Coin*80,000,000, Legendary Weapon*10, Mythical Material: World Tree Leaves*150]

Eighty million Spirit Crystal Coins in hand!

Now Lin Rui could indulge himself again.

With plenty of resources, he could have Natasha pose any way he wanted!

What was different between this Fallen Angel and humans, Enchanting Demons, or Werewolves in terms of structure and feel could be fully enjoyed tonight.

Furthermore, Lin Rui also completed two hundred eighty-three [Imperial Recruitment Order I] this time.

[Imperial Recruitment Order I: Forest Barrier]

[The forest is under threat from dark evil forces; the cruel and stinking Graveyard monsters are gathering around the forest, intending to harm its inhabitants. As a member of the Divine Alliance, it's time for you to stand up, for the glory of the alliance, to shatter the darkness!]

[Task requirement: Kill ten thousand Elite-level or higher evil monsters.]

[Task rewards: Spirit Crystal Coin*100,000, Epic-level Weapon*1, Territorial Essence*1] (Note: Can be taken repeatedly)

The battle with Regis this time was a loss; his troops were of high quality, but they didn't number in the millions.

Before meeting him, Lin Rui had completed one hundred seventy-five [Imperial Recruitment Order I].

After the fierce battle with him, the gains were quite limited, as only four-digit numbers of Tier Five Spiritual Gems were acquired!

This task is more suited to slaughtering common Wild Monsters, with easier battles and greater numbers.

Moreover, upon successfully completing [Imperial Recruitment Order II], Grand Marshal Xinglu mentioned that each [Imperial Recruitment Order I] would be accompanied by an extra [Imperial Recruitment Order VII] offer.

[Imperial Recruitment Order VII] was the defensive line construction mission released by Rose, rewarding [Steel Barrier Potion*10, Dark Elf Recruitment Scroll*10] for each.

This meant that Lin Rui's task settlement would yield nearly 30 million Spirit Crystal Coins, two hundred eighty-three Epic-level Weapons, nearly three thousand Steel Barrier Potions, and two battalions of Ice Blade Warriors!

The results were truly remarkable!

Audrey, in high spirits, immediately said, "Then let's quickly settle the rewards. And the body of Queen Hui Linlan, which I helped you reclaim, how are you going to repay that?"

Lin Rui had no intention of being modest; this was originally a fair task system, and Elves weren't exactly a polite race that ignored gratitude.

Lin Rui might soon leave the Colonization Star, so Elf gratitude wasn't meaningful, especially since it was uncertain if they would meet again in the future.

Thus, he might as well straightforwardly settle for a return; as a mercenary, he was in the business of taking money to solve problems.

Grand Marshal Xinglu waved his hand, saying, "Those matters are not under my jurisdiction. The settlement for the Imperial Recruitment Order will be delivered by Weiwei, and regarding Queen Hui Linlan's repayment, you can ask the Queen herself."

Lin Rui looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Your Excellency, you are a highly respected military authority, could you be evading responsibility?"

Rose immediately stepped on his foot under the table, and across the table, seeing their covert actions, Oland's eyes burned with even more fire.

Fortunately, Grand Marshal Xinglu remained very composed and, after looking at him, said, "This is Her Majesty the Empress's decree. However, if it were up to my advice, you should personally be at the frontline to attract Setra to attack you, which would facilitate us flanking their troops from both sides."

So you're making me bait?

Lin Rui immediately stood up and said, "Then I'd better go see the Empress!"

In such a comparison, the Empress seemed to be the more generous one!

And it was a bit bizarrely good, always felt as if she had a different attitude towards him.

Don't get me wrong! It wasn't that the noblewoman confined in her chamber had any flirtation or hint towards him.

But rather, her courteous and equal manner towards him seemed quite unusual! She was an Empress, why was she showing such friendliness to an Explorer from an Other Plane, it even felt somewhat friendly.

He recalled her words about possible future battles together, always feeling like she was hinting at something else.
