Chapter 254: Eldest Prince, 5th Prince, 8th Prince
"Sacrifice?"
Lin Ke slightly raised his voice, "Live sacrifice? Who is the target of the sacrifice?"
Such sacrifices are usually performed by some deities from the Mythical Era on foreign tribes.
For example, if a Cat-man deity likes to eat Ratmen, it would order its followers to sacrifice Ratmen to it. The higher the grade of the sacrifice, the more abundant its blessings.
Including finding some treasure, or doing something, all can be submitted through sacrifice.
But why would the Wild Boar People Grassland sacrifice children?
"I don't know... I only know that the target of the sacrifice is a child... Oh, right, they said because I look more like you, they want to sacrifice me." Du Juan looked at Lin Ke.
"Look like a human?" Lin Ke was taken aback.
"Yes, this is the order of the Great Shaman. No one in the grassland tribe dares to oppose it."
Du Juan, as a child, was already quite mature, having experienced a lot and losing her parents as they died saving her.
"Where are you from?" Lin Ke felt that this Du Juan must be connected with the Wild Boar Great Shaman.
The top priority now is not just revenge but to find the hidden enemy lurking in the dark!
If this enemy is the Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince, it's okay, as they are known, but if it's other forces...
"I don't know... Since I was young, I've only known that our tribe is called the Ming Bird Tribe and the master of the grassland is the Great Shaman, the rest..." Du Juan shook her head.
If this is true, then a few possibilities can at least be eliminated.
The first to be proven is that the Wild Boar Great Shaman indeed does not come from a known place.
It is very likely that the Wild Boar Race Plane is someone's personal plane!
"So how did you come to the abyss? Does your plane connect to this layer of the abyss?" Lin Ke continued to ask.
"No." Du Juan shook her head, "I'm on the 893rd layer. I was brought up by Chama Duo."
Chama Duo?
This ordinary woman?
"You're quite impressive." Lin Ke couldn't help but glance at Chama Duo. To be able to bring someone up from the over 800th layer of the abyss, there must have been all sorts of emergencies encountered.
Chama Duo nodded silently.
"So, the 893rd layer, whose domain is that?" Lin Ke asked solemnly.
Layer 893, out of a total of 897 layers of the abyss...
"That is the domain of the Eldest Prince." Chama Duo said bitterly, "I used to be a member of the Eldest Prince's farm..."
Chama Duo began to recount her experiences, which were basically because of kindness, she took in Du Juan, who had helped her a lot.
Thus, she regarded Du Juan as her sole reliance, and Du Juan treated her as her only support.
Then came a period of fleeing.
In the end, the Eldest Prince did not pay attention to such trivial matters, only a few of his followers dealt with the situation.
"So, regarding one of the subordinate planes of the Eldest Prince's domain, there is a plane with Wild Boar People..."
Lin Ke felt that the truth is that the Eldest Prince sent the Great Shaman.
But...
But it still feels wrong...
Moreover, the Guard Captain's words, "Be wary of the light at dawn," always seemed hard for Lin Ke to disregard.
Light and darkness have always been strengths of the Gula Royal Family.
The Eldest Prince, Dark Maiden, Fifth Prince, Eighth Prince, etc., all are related to the law of light.
And the Fifth Prince, born to Lady Gardener, is known as the "Hand of Dawn," the Eighth Prince is "Dawn Messenger."
His intuition told him, these two princes have problems!
But the facts might not be so.
After all, the Eighth Prince had handed over the Wild Boar Race Plane to the Eldest Prince, but it's also possible the plane was tampered with to frame the Eldest Prince.
"The sons of the Insomnia Emperor, it feels like none of them are reliable..."
Lin Ke thought about Butler Billy's soul, which is still in the hands of the Dark Maiden, and thought of the Eldest Prince.
"You two are not safe here either, so..." Lin Ke, not being unreasonable, realized that barging into someone's home, questioning them indiscriminately was not a good move.
Of course, he's not overly stubborn about this.
Offering them some compensation, he could feel at ease.
"You should go to the King's Inn to find Viscount Garoce, and say that you are under Count Linke, then tell him your situation. I can arrange for you to live in Great Wilderness City." Lin Ke said.
"Great Wilderness City?!" The two of them exclaimed, exchanging glances.
"Yes, the Great Wilderness City with the schools?" Du Juan asked timidly.
"I heard there's a Great Library there where you can read books for free? I mean... I happen to be literate," Chama Duo's eyes seemed more drawn to the Great Library.
"School? Great Library?" Lin Ke was taken aback, not expecting Du Juan to be most attracted by the school, while Chama Duo by the Great Library.
But on second thought, as non-nobles, these two things indeed held great appeal.
"Can we... trust you?" Chama Duo felt that she received quite a bit of information today.
Why... why suddenly after a drink at the Flame Tavern, can they now go to the long-desired Great Wilderness?
"Of course, the opportunity is only once, the Great Wilderness, and after the aristocratic evaluation of Azanen's team, will return." Lin Ke, having learned the information, naturally wanted to go back, so he waved, put on his hood.
Chama Duo and Du Juan still wanted to speak, but Lin Ke had already vanished from the room.
The two looked at each other and then made a unanimous decision.
Today, they will go to the King's Inn!
So the two went to pack, except for necessities, Chama Duo brought two books, "Fang of the Wolf" and "True Ring Records," written by Count Linke; Du Juan brought two volumes of comics, hand-drawn "Little Hero Changing A Thousand Times," and "Magic Patriarchal Master" by Count Linke.
By dawn, the two carried their bundles and quickly headed to the King's Inn.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Ke, pretending to have been meditating all night, walked out of the inn with Rica, following Garoce, towards the Space-Time Teleportation Array.
"How did it go?"
Rica did not return to the Royal Palace last night but stayed at the King's Inn, to deal with any changes that might occur after Lin Ke's absence, and hadn't communicated much this morning.
"There's a lead." Lin Ke nodded slightly, writing the numbers "1, 5, 8" on the palm of Rica's hand.
The Eldest Prince, Fifth Prince, and Eighth Prince!
Rica's expression changed slightly.
Although she wasn't as naive as when she was a child, she often felt that her brothers and sisters were generally kind.
But she also knew that Lin Ke's Scarlet Wilderness had strong intelligence-gathering capabilities and believed Lin Ke would not make random accusations.
"Currently, they are only suspicious, and only after questioning His Majesty can we make a decision," Lin Ke was now focused on revenge, and on his own felt quite powerless, only to see what the Insomnia Emperor would do.
"Okay."
Rica said, with a complex expression, "I, will always be by your side."
If her three brothers did that kind of thing, Rica would not forgive them either.
She was already planning, if her three brothers were malicious towards Lin Ke irrespective of her existence, she would support Lin Ke without holding back!
Then, the three of them stepped onto the teleportation array together.
Target, bottom of the abyss!
PS: At the end of the month, there will be a burst during the double monthly ticket period, can I get some tickets? Double yay…
