Chapter 109: The Great War Comes to an End

  In the Magistrate's office in Maipuxi Town, Chen Le hummed a nameless song while collecting things.

  "Knock knock knock." The door was knocked on, and Chen Le said without turning his head, "Come in."

  The door creaked as it was pushed open, the door being somewhat old. However, the age of the person knocking on the door was inversely proportional to that of the door - they were none other than Chen Le's alchemy apprentices who had been with him during the Maibitsi Castle battle.

  They pushed open the door but didn't speak immediately, instead there was silence. The only sound in the entire room was Chen Le packing up her things.

  After a minute or two, someone finally spoke up: "Master Arthur, are you leaving?" The speaker was the fattest of the six, and also their leader, whose name was Pete.

  Chen Le rubbed Pete's head and said: "Well, I'm leaving. After all, things here are over."

  Pete raised his head and asked helplessly: "Master Arthur, where are you going?"

  Chen Le pointed south and said: "I'm going back to my territory, want to come and play?"

  Pete smiled and said: "Master Arthur, we can't stay. Our mentor wants us to go back and report what happened here."

  Chen Le's mouth formed an "O" shape: "Oh."

  Pete patted his own head and then took out a box from his pants pocket and handed it to Chen Le.

  Chen Le took over the box and asked suspiciously: "What is this?"

  Pete glanced at the other five and said: "This is what we six people have in mind. So let's go, we'll come back again when we have time!"

  The six people left without looking back. Chen Le smiled and muttered to himself: "You guys, not bad. I seem to have forgotten something."

  After tidying up, Chen Le directly lay on the bed and began to recall things that happened when he was practicing alchemy.

  "Are you saying I'm very lucky?" Chen Le said with a self-deprecating smile.

  "I guess so, the only random item is the Shattered Space Pill. I really admire your luck."

  Chen Le said helplessly, "Yes, luck. When I first entered that space filled with blue laser beams, I thought I was a goner for sure. Who would have thought that this random item would end up saving my life."

  "This time, it's not just the credit of the Broken Space Dan. The black dragon king's Black Hole Magic also played a crucial role. If that black hole hadn't provided you with coordinates, you might have flown to another world."

  Chen Le smiled wryly and said: "Great difficulties will not kill us, we must have good fortune afterwards. This time the harvest is also quite big, at least this time we got a lot of things."

  "Those gold coins? Indeed, they can be considered a lot."

  "No," Chen Le said, shaking his head. "These gold coins must stay here. After all, so many people have died. All of this is because of me. If I don't compensate them, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

  "Alright, whatever, but what I want to say is that your revenge plan has gone too far."

  When Chen Le heard the two words "revenge", her eyes were filled with anger, although she might not be able to account for anything, but all of this was really unforgivable, and the love that had not yet sprouted was destroyed like this, no matter what, the perpetrator was unforgivable.

  Chen Le thought for a moment and said lightly: "It just so happens that I have a human hero quota, I'll use it up and unlock the human race at the same time. From now on, our future will depend on these humans."

  "But this time, the unlocking fee is twice as much as last time, which means it will cost 40 million energy points."

  Chen Le heard about the energy points and his head got big again. Although so far, he hasn't encountered any particularly difficult energy point crises, but thinking that he might have to use himself at any time still made him feel a bit helpless. "How many do we have?"

  "Exactly 40 million!"

  "Has it increased again?" Chen Le was puzzled, this energy point growth is unscientific. To know that the current undead tribe is still in the dormant period, it is impossible to provide such a large scale of energy points, if you want to say the only possibility, there is only the north.

  "Are they beastmen? They seem to be getting along pretty well!" Chen Le was now in a state of infinite sighs. At the same time, he also didn't know if the food he left behind would be enough.

  "Let's just do that, we'll go to our territory first and then discuss the matter of revenge. A gentleman avenges himself after ten years! Although I consider myself a petty person, I can still occasionally do things that only a gentleman would do."

  Chen Le jumped up from bed and walked out of the room with a bag in hand.

  Walking out of the highest official residence and onto the street, Chen Le saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "War is cruel!"

  The flow of people coming and going was like a long river, with countless young men repairing the city walls, while also seeing countless soldiers entering and exiting the city gates, carrying out one after another the corpses of magical beasts.

  Chen Le blocked a soldier and asked: "Where is Aikes?"

  The soldier saw it was Chen Le and immediately saluted, saying: "Lord Arthur! Officer Aegis left yesterday!"

  Chen Le sighed with a bitter smile: "You're leaving that quickly? Looks like you're in a hurry. By the way, did you guys receive the gold coins sent over by the giant dragon?"

  When he heard the two words "gold coins", the soldier burst out laughing and said excitedly: "Lord Arthur, we received a huge amount of gold coins from the giant dragon this morning. The pile of gold coins is like a small mountain."

  Looking at the soldier's smile, Chen Le felt a bit relieved in his heart. He smiled and said: "So, your life will be guaranteed from now on. I believe the leader here will allocate a lot of gold coins to you."

  The soldier nodded and looked at Chen Le with an excited face.

  Chen Le waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, I just want to say goodbye to Aegir."

  A look of disappointment appeared on the soldier's face.

  Chen Le smiled and turned around, walking towards the west gate. As he walked, he looked at the bustling scene of Maipu Town.

  When he walked out of the west gate, he ran into a group of people wearing black clothes.

  "Master, we have been waiting for you for a long time." A hoarse but powerful voice came out from among the group of black-clad men.

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Isn't this Fei Zhu? How did you guys come here?"

  Fēi zī gōng jìng de shuō: "Wǒmen shì lái hé zhǔ rén gào bié de. Wǒmen cóng shén diàn de diāo xiàng lǐ dé zhī zhǔ rén nín yào qù qí tā dì fāng kāi fā wǒmen de xiōng dì le."

  Translation:

  Fay respectfully said, "We have come to bid farewell to our master. We learned from the temple's statue that you, Master, are going to another place to develop our brothers."

  "Alright, let me ask a question first. How many monster corpses did you guys actually get? Don't tell me you didn't get any."

  "Two hundred thousand third-level or higher magical beast corpses."

  "All right. I'm giving you a task, and I demand that you have an army of five hundred thousand within a year, excluding skeletons."

  "Yes!"

  "Alright, go!"

  Several men in black bowed respectfully and then disappeared before Chen Le's eyes.

  "Piece of junk! Piece of junk!"

  "Mission Change Notification: Revenge mission delayed for one year, correction required, must have over 2 million troops to proceed with this mission."

  "New quest added: Rise of Humanity. Quest step 1: Establish the Human Capital. Subsequent quests will be unlocked after completing this task."
