Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

Su Xiao on the side, on the contrary, looked more like Lin Yi's bodyguard. He was wearing a leather jacket, holding a sharp blade, and exuding murderous aura. Just one look at him could make a child cry.

Chapter 416: Holy Dragon City (Subscription Request, Monthly Ticket Request)

Shortly after Lin Yi left, the battle under the Black Soil Fortress took a dramatic turn.

The lava slope, originally caused by the green phosphorus fire, formed a seemingly impenetrable defense line over a length of one kilometer.

However, just when the tribal army thought they had the upper hand, the situation took a turn.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the array plate in Carlos' hand suddenly shattered.

At this moment, the magma surging under the fortress seemed to be suddenly frozen and stopped flowing in an instant.

After a few dozen seconds, the magma, which had been bubbling and churning, began to calm down and showed signs of solidification.

Immediately afterwards, a series of "crack, crack" sounds were heard, and cracks began to appear on the surface of the solidified magma.

These cracks are not random, but arranged in a mysterious and regular way, gradually forming a large-scale chain alchemical array.

As the formation was completed, the ground within a radius of ten kilometers began to shake violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground.

"Run!" A scream suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

The goblin inventor waved his short limbs and ran towards the other side of the fortress at an astonishing speed.

He jumped onto the stone slope built by the tribe and continued to flee forward without stopping.

The goblin inventor originally thought that the alchemical diagram in the magma was a 'hot and cold alternating alchemical diagram', but when the diagram was fully revealed, he found that he was wrong.

The power contained in this formation is far more powerful and dangerous than he had imagined.

Seeing the goblin inventor's panic reaction, the minotaur Armster felt his hair stand on end and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

He was well aware of the goblin inventor's attainments in alchemy and mechanical engineering. If even he was so terrified, then this alchemy diagram must be extraordinary.

"All troops retreat!" Armster ordered loudly, his voice echoing over the battlefield.

However, it was too late.

The alchemy array began to flash with dazzling light, and a powerful force emanated from it, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

The color of the stopped surging magma began to change strangely, gradually changing from the original fiery red to blue-black, as if a force was quietly changing its nature.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of ice crystals quickly climbed onto the surface of the magma, flashing a cold light.

Such drastic alternations of hot and cold caused the semi-solid magma slope to crack rapidly, with countless cracks crisscrossing like a huge spider web spread across the magma slope.

Suddenly, a hissing sound pierced the night sky, and at the moment when cold and hot touched, a large amount of steam rose up.

This is not ordinary water vapor, but superheated steam that far exceeds the critical point. Its temperature is high enough to cause serious burns to the human body.

The steam spread quickly, and with the strong west wind blowing tonight, a large amount of steam quickly enveloped the Black Earth Fortress.

The entire fortress seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, and visibility dropped sharply.

At this moment, a hoarse scream was heard from the fortress.

Four "dishes" suddenly appeared in the fortress - steamed orcs, steamed goblins, steamed dwarves, and steamed trolls.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao heard the screams coming from the fortress, but they did not stop. They just looked back and continued to move towards Shenglong City.

Samsara Paradise does not have too many restrictions on the contractors in the war world. Before finding the core of the world, the contractors can do whatever they want.

It’s just that most of the contractors will participate in wars to gain military merit points in exchange for things, which makes the war world look like there is always fighting.

At this moment, all the attributes of Lin Yi and Su Xiao were around 75 points. After leaving the military camp, they started to charge at full speed. After only about half a day, they had traveled hundreds of kilometers and arrived at Shenglong City.

The capital of the Longteng Empire, Shenglong City, is a magnificent, prosperous and bustling metropolis.

The towering city walls are like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace and order in the city.

Complex magical runes were engraved on the city walls, flickering with faint light.

As you enter the city, the first thing that catches your eye is the wide and straight streets, with shops lining both sides and a wide variety of goods on display.

The human citizens were dressed in gorgeous clothes and walked leisurely through the streets, their faces filled with pride and superiority.

In this city, humans have supreme status, and even the most ordinary citizens have a higher status than other races.

The races on the tribal side, whether orcs or dwarves, are all slaves here.

Their figures are silently busy in the corners of the city, either carrying heavy objects or sweeping the streets.

Their eyes revealed deep helplessness and submission, as if they had become accustomed to the fate of being conquered.

In the center of the city stands a magnificent palace, which is the residence of the emperor of the Longteng Empire and a symbol of power.

Whenever night falls, the brilliant lights of the palace complement the bright stars in the night sky, forming a magnificent picture.

In this city, human culture flourished.

Beautiful music and poetry recitation can often be heard in the streets and alleys, as citizens sing praises to the greatness and glory of the Dragon Empire.

The slaves could only watch all this silently in the corner, their culture and traditions being ruthlessly suppressed and ignored.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao were not stopped when they came in, because their appearances proved their race. For humans, other races in Shenglong City did not dare to provoke them.

"Sir, do you need someone to lead the way for you? The price is very cheap, only ten copper coins will do."

As soon as Lin Yi and Su Xiao stepped into the gate of Holy Dragon City, a group of skinny orc beggars surrounded them.

These beggars were dressed in rags, and their faces showed the hardships of life.

They all had heavy slave collars around their necks, a mark of their slavery.

In Holy Dragon City, if a member of the tribe does not wear this slave collar around his neck, he will be regarded as a runaway slave by the city guards.

As for escaped slaves, they have no human rights at all here. They will be killed on the spot without any room for explanation.

"Take me to Holy Dragon Academy."

Lin Yi took out a gold pound, and this gold list immediately attracted the attention of all the beggars around.

But when they heard the four big words "Holy Dragon Academy", all the orc beggars shuddered instantly. It was then that the group noticed the badge hanging on Lin Yi's chest.

That is the exclusive badge for lecturers at Holy Dragon Academy, which means that Lin Yi is a member of Holy Dragon Academy.

"Run!!"

The next second, the beggars surrounding Lin Yi ran away immediately, leaving only a beggar with a clumsy leg who was still standing there, with a fearless look on his face.

"If you need to find a test subject, I can be your test subject. As long as you help my sister cure her illness."

There was a look of fearlessness of death on the boy's face.

"What are you talking about? I just asked you to lead the way. Why are you all so desperate?"

Lin Yi was totally confused now. Why did these guys act as if they saw their natural enemy after hearing the words "Holy Dragon Academy"?

"Didn't the master come here to look for test subjects?"

"What kind of experiment? I just need someone to show me the way. I haven't been back for so long that I don't even recognize the road anymore."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, the boy seemed to show excitement on his face.

"Sir, I am familiar with the entire Holy Dragon City. If you don't mind, I will lead the way for you."

"Forget it, you're the only one here, if you don't lead the way, who will?"

Under the guidance of the boy, Lin Yi and Su Xiao walked towards the territory of Holy Dragon Academy. After the boy's explanation, Lin Yi finally understood why they started to flee as soon as they heard the words "Holy Dragon Academy".

In Holy Dragon City, the status of Holy Dragon Academy is supreme. The alchemists of Holy Dragon Academy often run out and grab a few slaves on the street for human experiments for some experimental reasons.

When the owners of these slaves heard that it was the alchemists from the Holy Dragon Academy who took the slaves away, they would not say anything. Instead, they would send more slaves to the alchemists of the Holy Dragon Academy for experiments.

They are just some slaves. If they are gone, you can just buy more. But if you can get the connection with Holy Dragon Academy, you can make a lot of money.

Thus, an unwritten rule emerged in Holy Dragon City: as long as the alchemist of Holy Dragon Academy took a fancy to a slave, that slave could be taken away by the members of Holy Dragon Academy unconditionally.

The slaves naturally knew what would happen if they were taken away by the people from the Holy Dragon Academy, so they were so terrified after seeing Lin Yi's identity.

The reason is that they thought Lin Yi came here this time to capture slaves for experiments.

Lin Yi did not doubt the authenticity of the orc boy's statement.

The hatred between the Longteng Empire and the tribes is now so deep that it can no longer be described by the word "lifelong feud". It is not an exaggeration to call them "enemies of life and death".

Whether it is the empire or the tribe, the long-term war has exhausted both sides, and the top leaders are eager for peace.

Ironically, the biggest obstacle to achieving peace now is not the top leaders, but the people at the bottom of society, who do not seem willing to let this war end.

Previously, a leader in the tribe had tried to reach a truce with the Longteng Empire.

His efforts encountered unexpected obstacles.

On the very night when he proposed a ceasefire, his family was kidnapped by unidentified persons, and all kinds of threatening letters poured into his home like snowflakes.

Insulting words such as "traitor" and "shame" were maliciously scrawled on the walls of the home.

Moreover, his ceasefire proposal was strongly opposed by civilians within the tribe.

From then on, whether in the Longteng Empire or within the tribe, the top leaders avoided talking about the word "ceasefire" for fear of repeating the mistakes of that leader.

The protracted war has almost brought down the Dragon Empire and the tribe.

After hundreds of years of war, the economies of both sides are on the brink of collapse.

The reason why the economy is barely holding on at the moment is entirely due to the royal family's efforts to divert conflicts and attract public attention by exposing and punishing corrupt officials, making the public mistakenly believe that the economic difficulties are mainly caused by corrupt officials.

The plight of the tribes is even more serious.

Economic problems exist, but the more pressing issue is the population problem.

The ongoing wars have caused a sharp decline in the tribal population, especially those races with lower fertility rates, such as trolls and dwarves, whose fertility rates have fallen below the warning line.

The tribes did not only include the five major races today, but also included other races such as the Centaurs and Elves.

Why don't we see these races anymore?

The reason is simple. The brutal war has led to the destruction of their country and their race, and they have disappeared into the dust of history.

Members of extinct races can occasionally be seen in the Dragon Empire, but they have been reduced to slavery, the last remaining representatives of their race, as the others have died on the battlefield.

What's even more cruel is that the Longteng Empire has now adopted an extreme method, which is that once a female member of the tribe is found, a specially made slender dagger will be used to pierce her uterus, completely depriving her of the ability to become pregnant by stirring her.

Such actions undoubtedly intensified the hatred between the two sides.

The long war has brought the hatred between the Dragon Empire and the tribe to a climax.

In the past, wars between the two countries were mainly fought to compete for resources and divert domestic conflicts.

But now, the situation is beyond the control of the upper echelons, who are instead swept up in the people's will to fight and have no choice but to continue this endless war.

Currently, the two sides are engaged in an endurance contest to see who can last longer and whose collapse will come later.

Judging from the current situation, it seems more likely that the Longteng Empire will survive until the tribe collapses.

Despite the corruption problem within the Longteng Empire, it still has reserves of military supplies and other aspects. In comparison, the logistical capabilities of the tribes seem stretched.

"My Lord, this is the Holy Dragon Academy."

The little boy brought Lin Yi to a place very close to the palace, and then pointed at the building in front of them.

The Holy Dragon Academy is located in a lush royal forest. The ancient and solemn stone gate is open, welcoming every scholar who comes to seek knowledge.

The college's architecture does not pursue splendor, but is dominated by calm gray stone.

The exterior lines of the building are simple and smooth, full of a sense of time. The roof is covered with dark grey tiles, which shimmer lightly in the sun.

In a restaurant near the courtyard, several scholars were sitting around a table, enthusiastically discussing an academic issue.

One of the older scholars was holding a feather pen and writing quickly on paper, his eyes flashing with thought.

A young scholar nearby was excitedly expounding his views with exaggerated gestures, as if he wanted to fully express his thoughts.

Other scholars either nodded or raised questions; the atmosphere was both tense and lively.

Their discussions, accompanied by the gently falling leaves in the courtyard, formed a vivid academic picture.
