Under the dim night, the black thorns that were thrown heavily on the ground groaned in the burning fire, as if they wanted to struggle to get up, but they still fell down dyingly. They could only open their green fish eyes and stare at Speaker Federer with resentment.

The gods are above, what kind of monster is this?

In an instant, looking at the terrifying black thorn half man and half fish, everyone present suddenly exclaimed and retreated with pale faces. Even Speaker Federer felt creepy and involuntarily changed color slightly: "What is this?"

"This guy is called Black Thorn, he is the clown's subordinate." Lin Taiping replied with a smile. Under his gaze, Tulu and his men carried a few pirate bodies and threw them on the ground fiercely. "In addition, there are a few prisoners here. I think gentlemen can tell if they are real pirates just by discerning them."

In fact, let alone the clown whose identity is temporarily undetermined, the other pirate corpses are indeed real, but they were not captured in the manor, but were burned by Lin Taiping as a fire demon during the attack more than ten days ago, and were frozen as props.

Now, with these pirates being introduced as evidence, a knight came forward to check for a moment and immediately reported with a serious face: "Speaker, we have checked their weapons and bodies. Judging from those traces, we can be 100% sure they are pirates."

No! Even though he knew this was the truth, Marquis Grandet could not help but growl: "You are sure to see clearly? Maybe that guy just killed a few sailors and used their bodies to pretend to be pirates."

"Marquis, please don't doubt my professional vision." The knight seemed to feel insulted and immediately retorted with a pale face. "I can be sure that there is a big difference between pirates and sailors, and most importantly, the one-eyed strong man in the middle has long been among our wanted ranks."

Hearing these words, a noise suddenly sounded in the crowd. The angry nobles just now were suddenly full of strange faces. The civilians who had smashed stones on Tulu and the others before were even more embarrassed and wanted to find a cave to crawl in immediately.

The gods are above. It turns out that the pirates and fish that escape the net are hiding on the Ivory Islands, and this means that we all wronged the Oriental man. It turns out that he didn't say nonsense just now. Everything he said is the truth of the matter?

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings." Lin Taiping put his shoulder on Tulu and sighed helplessly, "Actually, it's nothing to suffer a little grievance. At least we eliminated those pirates and allowed the Ivory Islands to avoid a disaster. For us, this is the best reward."

In awe, everyone present suddenly felt awe. Especially those nobles who had previously yelled to burn the dark creatures to death, in order to relieve their guilt, they immediately stepped forward and held Lin Taiping's hand and shook it hard: "Dear Mr. Lin, you are the most selfless person I have ever seen. Please allow me to offer my highest respect."

"Nothing, this is what I should do." Lin Taiping replied with a smile on his face, and turned to look at Marquis Grandet, who was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.

A few seconds later, he suddenly paused and touched his chin thoughtfully: "However, there is one thing I still don't understand why these pirates appeared in the Marquis Grandet's manor and escaped the large-scale search that had been made some time ago, unless..."

It's so insidious, it's simply insidious!

In an instant, almost everyone turned their heads neatly and looked at Marquis Grandet with the suspicious look. The unlucky Marquis Grandet Grandet looked shocked and took a few steps back in disbelief: "Wait, you shouldn't suspect it's me..."

"Mr. Grandet, we don't doubt you." Speaker Federer frowned slightly, but said in a low voice. "But, for the sake of security, maybe we will search your estate, what if there are other pirates lurking?"

This is not a request, but a similar order. So in the distrustful eyes around, Marquis Grandet could only sneer with a red face: "Very good, I also want to prove my innocence. If you want to search, search it, but I must point out that since that little white face has arrived before us, there is enough time to frame the blame."

"Please rest assured, we will distinguish right from wrong." Speaker Federer replied expressionlessly, then waved his hand and signaled several knights to lead the soldiers into the ruins of the manor to search.

"Then, let's say goodbye first?" Lin Taiping yawned lazily beside him, "Mr. Speaker, do you have no objection, do you?"

Of course, there was no objection. Speaker Federer took a few steps forward and shook hands enthusiastically to express his gratitude: "Mr. Lin, thanks to your help this time, we discovered hidden dangers. I will propose to the Parliament to reward your contributions."

As we were talking here, the taurens and dark elves were ready to finish work. Before leaving, Tulu was reluctant to leave, so he took a few skewers of roasted chicken wings from the fire and came back: "Then what, don't waste it, I'll take it back for a midnight snack... It smells so good. The things baked with famous paintings and mahogany furniture are just good."

You bastards! Marquis Grandet gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes were full of fire, but he could not do anything at all. He burned my manor, killed my loyal subordinates, and gave the black thorns... Damn, is there anything more shameless in the world than this?

The answer is, there is!

Because the next moment, Lin Taiping looked at him shyly, coughed a few times, "Why, Marquis, although I shouldn't say that, but we have worked so hard to help you solve the pirates, aren't you going to express your gratitude?"

Puff! Marquis Grandet almost spit out blood: "Damn bastard, you burn my manor clean, and want me to thank you?"

"This is what you say..." Lin Taiping opened his eyes seriously, "Please, we are saving you, okay? God knows what these pirates are lurking here and want to do. If you bring a few dancers to the manor next time and are deeply communicating your life ideals, they suddenly jump out, and that will be a big trouble."

That's right, Tulu and the others nodded neatly. Ye Ge couldn't help rolling his eyes desperately: "Ungraceful, ungrateful, Mr. Grandet, are you treating your life-saving benefactor like this? You must know that in the middle of the night, we crawled out of the warm bed, ran to help very hard, and were injured, so it's worth tens of thousands of gold coins."

This is true and reasonable. Even the nobles and civilians next to him couldn't help but agree. It was one thing to damage the manor, and another thing to save his life. Compared to this manor, is your life so worthless?

He was despised and was so despised that he was shot all over his body. The unlucky Marquis of Grantai couldn't help but get furious. But at this time, Lin Taiping comforted him with great sincerity: "It's okay, I know you just lost a lot and couldn't afford that much money. It doesn't matter. You can first write a white note to us and divide it into six months to slowly give it, interest, etc... flash!"

He said it, and before Marquis Grandet completely ran away, Lin Taiping immediately shook people wisely. A large group of dark creatures followed behind, only Tulu turned his head reluctantly before leaving, and waved to Marquis Grandet desperately: "Who, don't steal my roast chicken legs, I'll get it next time."

So, in the bloody rage of Marquis Grandet, the satisfied robbery group returned with a full load. When they passed the black pine forest on the way, they took away all the spoils that had been hidden here in advance. So when they returned to the Gregorian Manor, almost everyone was so tired that they could not stand.

But no matter how tired or hard it is, as long as you see the spoils of the whole house, everyone was immediately excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. Christine didn't even bother to have supper, and squatted in the middle of the spoils with a few breads, and began to carefully calculate the harvest.

"Take it slow and notify me when there is a result." Lin Taiping sat lazily in the corner, watching Christine and the others busy counting the harvest. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly lowered his head with a smile and looked at the transparent crystal in his palm.

Just now, while the Black Thorn was knocked out by the soldiers, he quietly stepped forward to help and took away the flash rune stone on the Black Thorn's abdomen. At this moment, the mysterious energy contained in the flash rune stone had already been completely absorbed by the ring of the gods.

After obtaining the mysterious energy in the flash rune stone, one-sixth of the dark ring surface of the Gods Ring transformed into bright red, which means that the Gods Ring has started a new promotion... Of course, this promotion obviously requires more energy. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that at least six rune stones will be needed to complete it.

"It seems that I can only look forward to Mr. Clown continuing to give gifts." Lin Taiping smiled and touched his chin, not rushing to achieve success. His only hope now is that there will be enough flash rune stones around the clown, at least to allow the Gods Ring to complete the second promotion.

Almost at the same time, the inventory work in the hall was over. Christine wiped her head full of sweat and took out the densely written account book: "Boss, I have counted it. This time we grabbed a total of 126,036 gold coins, 865 magic crystals, plus a few tons of rice and bacon, as well as a lot of ink and paper, which is enough for us to issue more than a dozen evening newspapers."

Well, what news is better than this? Lin Taiping expressed his satisfaction so much that he could not be satisfied. Christine took out another purple-gold scroll and said: "Also, this scroll also records the Berserker's exclusive secret technique, Tornado Slash. Although he doesn't know how powerful it is, Grandet puts it in a tightly guarded secret room, which means it must be very valuable."

In fact, as Christine said, this combat secret technique called Tornado Slash can allow the berserker to burst out several times of its power in an instant, and with the help of the waving power of heavy weapons, it forms several invincible wind blades, and hisses all the surrounding enemies into pieces.

"It looks very good?" Lin Taiping took the purple and golden scroll and looked at it for a few times, thought about it and threw it to Tulu next to him, "The Taurus warrior, it seems to be similar to the berserker. Tulu, do you want to practice, so that you can better take on the heavy responsibility of taking the blame as a meat shield."

"Me?" Tulu took the purple-gold scroll with a distressed face, "This, this is very good, but the problem is that we don't know the words."

It's terrible to be uneducated. Lin Taiping couldn't help but sigh: "It's okay, you can let Ye Ge teach you how to read... Well, Ye Ge, what are you watching?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Ge seemed to be staring at the thing in a daze. It was not until she was reminded by a few dark elves next to her that she raised her head in a little confused: "It's nothing, I'm just watching... Well, Lin, do you still remember the half artifact we found after killing Death Flame?"

You are a ghost! Lin Taiping couldn't help but roll his eyes desperately. The so-called half-art artifact is actually half a silver-white horn that Ye Ge touched the corpse. He still doesn't even know the purpose. Of course, Ye Ge doesn't think so. In fact, until today, she still thinks that the half horn must be a powerful magical equipment.

"What does it mean to be a stubborn?" Ye Ge expressed extreme dissatisfaction with this. A few seconds later, she suddenly raised her chest proudly and raised the thing in her hand-

"You guys, you guys will soon know how lucky I am, because... I just found the other half!"
