Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

If Lin Xueyin still can't figure out what's going on, then she's wasting her beautiful eyes.

“Baron Lin, I understand that using the resurrection spell will have a significant impact on you, but the High King is our great leader, and we need…”

Lin Xueyin didn't listen to what was said after that. Her mind was completely occupied with what price she would have to pay. It was just a little bit of magic power, what price did she have to pay?

Her bewildered gaze led the dwarf legion commander to misunderstand her expression, assuming she had some reservations. After all, he had previously discussed this with the elven marshal, who had told him that her resurrection spell involved burning her own life force to regenerate another's.

“Baron Lin, I know it’s not fair to you to say this, but I beg you to use the resurrection spell to bring the Supreme King back to life.”

"Wait, wait, Lord Kule, are you saying that Xueyin, she, she is the Holy Resurrection Priest, Lin Xueyin, Baron Lin?"

It was only then that I realized, Xueyin, isn't that Lin Xueyin's name? She really is that legendary holy priest, the super holy priest who can pull people back from the brink of death.

"Um, what's with this Baron Lin? It sounds more and more like a villain's name. Can you guys please stop giving me weird titles like this?"

Lin Xueyin weakly tried to raise her hand, but was pulled away by Kule and dragged outside. However, she was stopped by Yu Liuli and Olihirs.

"Commander Kule, I hope you can explain clearly what price Yukine has to pay to revive others. No one will believe that such a skill comes without a price."

It seemed that the other party had only just realized that she was the person they were looking for. Kule Copperhammer was unsure whether he should explain, but seeing them standing firmly in front of him, blocking his way, he had to consider whether to speak up.

"Captain, please calm down. It doesn't seem like Yukine would do us any harm by helping. Perhaps we could..."

"Andrek, when has our Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group ever needed its members to sacrifice themselves to ensure the success of a mission?"

Seeing the commander's stern expression, Andrek dared not continue the conversation and could only helplessly retreat to the side to observe how things would develop.

"Lord Kule, I hope you can tell the truth. Only then can we determine whether or not to send Xueyin to help. Moreover, she is still a member of our Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group, and we are responsible for her safety."

“Alright, I’ll tell you. This is what I heard from the Elven Marshal, Mokwade.”

After a slight pause, she continued, "Baron Lin's resurrection technique uses her own life as a price to bring the dead back to life. Therefore, for every person she resurrects, she loses a large number of lives."

Um, did I say that? Seeing this dwarf earnestly recounting the price he had completely forgotten, Lin Xueyin was once again completely bewildered. It seems I really did say that.

"If that's the case, I disagree. I absolutely disagree with Yukine resurrecting other people."

Volume 5: The Winged Ones and the Dwarves: Chapter 22 The Resurrection of the High King

"Sister Liuli, that is the king of the dwarves, we shouldn't..."

"Lin Xueyin, are you a hero? How long do you have left? If I'm not mistaken, you should also be using skills among the elves, right? If you keep using them endlessly, how long can you live? Matters of life and death are inherently..."

"Sister Liuli, please don't say that."

The sullen girl glanced at the dwarf legion commander beside her. His expression wasn't good either, but he still patiently listened on.

"Sister Liuli, I only saved one person. I can't and shouldn't care about the others, so..."

Yu Liuli was truly exasperated by this straightforward little girl. Just to save one person? Does your opinion even count?

"Sister, it's alright, don't worry."

Having said that, he had already run out of the tent, while Kule Copperhammer bowed and took his leave, leaving behind only two worried girls and a man with a strange smile on his face.

Unaware of the various expressions on the faces of the people inside the tent, Lin Xueyin followed Kule's rapid pace and soon arrived at the location where the Supreme King had preserved the corpse.

"Yukine, uh, it should be Baron Lin."

When Blazing Copper Hammer saw Lin Xueyin enter with Kule, he excitedly stood up and led her to his father's seat.

"Baron Lin, what do you think...?"

Seeing the High King of the Dwarves covered in wounds, and recalling the arrogance he felt when he first met him, it was only a few days later, yet they were meeting again under these circumstances.

Lin Xueyin let out a long breath and did not answer the prince's expectant question. She raised her staff, and a holy light full of life descended from the sky, shining on the sleeping king's body.

The wounds all over his body disappeared at a visible speed, his tightly closed eyes began to tremble slowly, and his calloused, thick hands twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Father, Father... Father..."

Even though it was hard to detect, it was noticed by Blazing Copper Hammer, who had been watching closely. This slight movement proved that his father had regained his vitality.

Retracting her staff, Lin Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the many dwarves watching her expectantly, saying, "Alright, His Majesty the High King will wake up soon..."

"Drink up, that was a really good night's sleep."

Before Lin Xueyin could finish speaking, the Supreme King had already stood up, shirtless, and sat upright on the coffin, a sight that was utterly terrifying.

"Father, you, you're awake! You're finally..."

"Haha, kid, I didn't expect to see you again. I thought I was already dead."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave."

Seeing this melodramatic scene of father and son reuniting, Lin Xueyin said she couldn't bear to watch it anymore and had no choice but to leave. So, after saying that, she turned and left on her own.

Meanwhile, Kule, understanding that he and his son must have a lot to talk about at this moment, led all the dwarves around them out with Lin Xueyin.

"Baron Lin, thank you so much. I never expected to see the Supreme King return."

"Ah, it's nothing. I have a good relationship with Muller, and I'll even help him if it comes to Muller's side."

Thinking of the Nine-Bend Serpent Spear still in his pack, he realized he really owed the dwarves a favor. Now, they were even.

"Yukine, Yukine..."

Unable to wait any longer inside the tent, Yu Liuli and Orichils anxiously went to the dungeon and saw the girl slowly approaching from afar.

"You little rascal, really..." He hugged her tightly, then examined her carefully, even touching her all over.

"Um, Sister Liuli, what are you doing?"

Blushing, Lin Xueyin tightly gripped the wicked hands that were groping her body, and let out a cry of resentment.

"Are you really alright, girl?"

Stopped by Lin Xueyin and unable to explore her hair, Yu Liuli carefully examined Lin Xueyin's golden hair. Seeing that it seemed unchanged, she finally felt a little relieved.

"You silly girl, you can't do that again, you hear me..."

"Excuse me, are you Baron Lin?"

"Yes, what's the matter...? Hey? What are you doing?"

Lin Xueyin was horrified to see so many dwarves kneeling in front of her, and quickly jumped back behind Yu Liuli.

"Hey, Commander Kule, what's going on? How did this happen so suddenly?"

Kule, equally bewildered, was also somewhat confused by the situation. What was going on? Seeing the girl who had been frightened and hid behind, he could only ask her.

What are you doing?

"Commander, it's like this, we heard that Baron Lin resurrected the High King, so we came here specifically to thank her."

"Oh, I see. Actually, that's not necessary, really."

“Thank you, Baron Lin. We know this spell will have a great impact on you, but you still came to save our High King. Please accept our greatest gratitude.”

As she spoke, the dwarves bowed again, prompting Lin Xueyin to quickly step forward and say, "There's no need for that. I did what I could."

Seeing the girl surrounded by people thanking her and feeling flustered, Yu Liuli also showed a gratified smile. That girl had earned the dwarves' utmost respect with her own abilities, which was vastly different from the benefits her mercenary group had previously obtained.

"Sister, let's go back first. I miss the princess and the others."

As they were speaking, a winged warrior hurriedly approached. He was led there by the dwarves, amidst the angry glares of the crowd.

"The Feathered Clan has the nerve to come here. They turned a blind eye when we needed help the most, and now they have the nerve to show up."

Looking at the vanished Feather Clan member, Lin Xueyin did not believe the angry words of these dwarves. She had come into contact with the Feather Clan at Sunset Pass, and they would never do something like turning a blind eye to the danger to their ally.

I'm afraid something has happened on the Winged Clan's side. Wait, if the Ratmen can dig caves all the way to the Underground City, isn't it possible that they can dig caves all the way to the Winged Clan's side as well?

It's alarming to discover that the ratmen's attack might not be limited to the dwarves. If so, could it be that the demons are planning to expand across the entire continent?

Volume 5 The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter 23 The Winged Race's Plea for Help

Sure enough, not long after the Feathered Clan disappeared, the Supreme King's envoy arrived and told Kule to hurry back. Just as Lin Xueyin was about to leave with Yu Liuli, she heard the envoy say something else.

"Are you Baron Lin? The Supreme King also requests your presence to discuss state affairs."

"Huh? Um, do you think this is appropriate?"

Under Yu Liuli's surprised gaze, Lin Xueyin couldn't remain calm. As a human, was it really appropriate for her to come to the dwarves to discuss state affairs?

“Your Excellency, the High King specifically requested that I seek you out, and hopes that you may accompany me.”

Hmm, I have a feeling that something bad will happen if I go. However, since they have already invited me, it seems a bit impolite to refuse directly. Looking at Yu Liuli, who is equally confused, Lin Xueyin knows that she probably won't get any reasonable advice from her.

"Okay, I'll go right now. Sister Liuli, would you like to come with me?"

Just as he was about to agree, he remembered that he had a lot of things to prepare for. The entire Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group had also suffered great losses in this great battle. Although he really wanted to go with her, he reluctantly declined.

Disheartened, Lin Xueyin could only walk alone towards the Supreme King.

"Wait, Yukine, I'll go with you."

Surprises always come too suddenly; Orichalcos's voice rang in my ears like heavenly music.

She turned around happily and saw Olihirs striding up to her side, taking her hand and saying, "Xueyin, I promised you I would always protect you."

"Yes, thank you, Orichalcos."

Seeing the two holding hands, Yu Liuli opened her mouth, but said nothing. She could only give a helpless bitter smile and shake her head. It seemed that she couldn't keep her scout captain.

Unaware of Yu Liuli's complex emotions, Lin Xueyin happily followed Kule, hand in hand with Orichalos, back to the Supreme King's palace.

Upon seeing the dwarf king, who had donned his dwarf king's attire once again, the group bowed again and sat down on either side.

“Maca Tianyu, please repeat what you said before.”

The winged warrior who had just appeared stepped forward and reiterated the situation to the dwarf king and the others who followed.

Lin Xueyin listened carefully to the situation and confirmed her previous guess. Sure enough, the Feather Clan had also been ambushed. The reinforcements they had sent were attacked by the undead and suffered heavy casualties. Now, they were also surrounded by the undead and could not send troops to support the dwarves.

Although the Feathered Race members are powerful warriors once they reach adulthood, their low fertility, coupled with the fact that the Undead are fearless beings, renders their military might ineffective against their enemies. In fact, they are completely helpless against the Undead swarm tactics.

"Undead?" Lin Xueyin murmured to herself upon hearing this. It seemed that these undead were connected to the undead she had seen before, but she still couldn't find any clue as to what the connection was.

"Baron Lin? Baron Lin?"

After being gently touched on the waist by Orichalcos, Lin Xueyin raised her head in a daze and looked at the Supreme King who had called her name twice.

"Haha, Your Majesty, please call me Xueyin. Calling me Baron Lin sounds a bit awkward to me, and sometimes I don't quite get it."
