Bab 590: Chapter 590: I'm Really Anxious, I Hope It's Quick
The beast tide receded.
With the Holy Dragon slain and two Saint-level magical beasts fleeing, the commotion was extraordinary. The smaller magical beasts that had followed the powerful beasts in their attack on the city scattered faster than anyone could have imagined upon seeing this.
Were they kidding?
At this point, who would dare to be impudent? Without their leaders, they were just lost little lambs. Forget facing Lin Fan, they couldn't even handle the Ironforge City guards.
On the city wall.
The City Lord and the group of Grand Magicians were stunned.
They stood there, dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold in the distance. The dense beast tide had dispersed, just like a group of children who had banded together to seek revenge, only to have their leader knocked to the ground.
Leaderless, only a disorganized mob remained.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" the City Lord muttered to himself.
A Grand Magician replied, "No, this isn't a dream. If it were, I'd wish to never wake up."
"Unbelievable."
"This is an epic battle, one that will be passed down for centuries, never to be forgotten."
"Hello, the beast tide has receded. About what I asked you earlier, should be possible now, right? The shops can open now, right?" Lin Fan returned to the city wall, inquiring with a smile. He was truly impatient, wanting only to buy his things and return home quickly to prepare a birthday party for his beloved Kelan.
The City Lord, noticing Lin Fan standing beside him, was startled.
But he quickly recovered.
That's right.
What was there to be afraid of?
This person before him was the hero of Ironforge City.
He had previously treated him like an ordinary commoner. He was truly blind.
"Who are you?" the City Lord asked in astonishment.
Lin Fan replied, "My name is Lin Fan. I came to Ironforge City to buy some things. It's really important. Now that the danger has passed, those closed shops should be able to open, right? I'm really anxious."
He spoke earnestly, hoping the other party would understand.
And help him.
He had no other intentions.
It was a pity… the City Lord, still in shock, clearly didn't take Lin Fan's anxiety as genuine urgency.
"Thank you, thank you for saving the entire Ironforge City. I will report this matter. You will be the hero of our Lanyuan Empire." The City Lord wasn't a fool. He had witnessed everything. Three spears piercing the Holy Dragon's head, was that something a human could do?
Perhaps even an epic hero couldn't achieve such a feat.
Lin Fan said, "No need to thank me. I just want those shops to open quickly. I need to help my beloved Kelan celebrate her birthday. I want to buy a cake and a beautiful princess dress. You're the City Lord, can you make those shops open?"
Everything he was doing was in hopes that the shops would open sooner.
He had no other intentions.
It was getting late.
If he delayed any longer, he was afraid he really wouldn't make it in time.
"Alright, no problem. I'll have someone arrange it right away." Calming down, the City Lord realized Lin Fan might truly have something urgent. Without delay, he hurriedly made arrangements.
A cake?
A beautiful princess dress.
No problem at all.
He would definitely have the best cake and the most beautiful princess dress made.
This person had saved their entire city.
They didn't know how to repay him, and now that he had made such a request, how could they refuse?
The citizens of the city cheered excitedly when they learned the beast tide had receded.
They breathed in the fresh air deeply.
It smelled so sweet.
They had never felt this way before, perhaps only after hovering on the brink of life and death could one have such a feeling.
A long time later!
Looking at the seven-tiered cake and the beautiful dress before him, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he went to the City Lord, shook his hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you, I'm very satisfied."
"Although I don't know how much it costs, this is all I have."
He took out forty silver coins and handed them to the City Lord.
The City Lord stared blankly at the money pouch in his hand, momentarily stunned. He didn't understand what Lin Fan was doing. In his mind, wasn't this something he should be doing?
Moreover, these things couldn't possibly repay the other party's kindness.
Even a thousand gold coins wouldn't be enough to thank him for his contribution.
That was a beast tide.
If it weren't for him, Ironforge City would have been reduced to ruins.
Reporting this to the kingdom, he would definitely be granted a title and rewarded with a large city. He could even be hailed as the strongest warrior of the Lanyuan Empire and have his own cultivation tower built.
Worshipped by countless people.
The City Lord said, "Hero, where are you going? You repelled the beast tide and saved Ironforge City. You are the hero of the Lanyuan Empire. The Empire will reward you handsomely."
Lin Fan smiled, waved his hand, and put the cake and dress into his spatial storage. This was an ability he had mastered long ago. Space was fun; he could cut it open at will, like a drawer, and store various items.
The Grand Magician was also shocked when he saw this.
Such a powerful technique! If he wasn't mistaken, this was spatial magic. Mastering this type of magic was extremely difficult, even for Grand Magicians like themselves.
"No need, I still have things to do. Goodbye." Lin Fan said, then went to the Holy Dragon's corpse, grabbed its tail, and disappeared from Ironforge City.
The City Lord wanted to say more.
But seeing that the hero had already left, he sighed regretfully.
"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person in the world. I wonder where he lives."
The City Lord had never seen someone so powerful, not even a Holy Magician could be as powerful as him. He was truly strong.
"City Lord, strong individuals are always so low-key. It seems he must be living in seclusion within our Lanyuan Empire. It's a blessing for our Empire to have such a powerful person living in seclusion here."
The City Lord nodded, agreeing with these words.
Indeed, it made a lot of sense.
If the Lanyuan Empire ever faced a national crisis in the future, this person would definitely not stand idly by.
Just as they were talking.
The Holy Magician from the Royal Capital arrived, along with elite warriors.
Upon learning that Ironforge City had encountered a rare beast tide, everyone was very nervous.
When they arrived at the scene and saw the situation, everyone was stunned. There was supposed to be a beast tide, but where was it?
The City Lord recounted what had just happened to the Holy Magician. Upon hearing this, the latter was clearly shocked.
He couldn't even believe it.
The Holy Dragon had been slain.
Outside the city.
They stood before a spear bathed in dragon blood. This was the spear Lin Fan used to slay the Holy Dragon. Although it was just an ordinary spear, it was no longer ordinary now.
It wasn't that the spear had become more powerful after being bathed in dragon blood.
But rather, the meaning it symbolized was extraordinary.
The City Lord said, "I will keep this spear in Ironforge City, placed in the city center for all the citizens to admire. This is the spear that slew the Holy Dragon, and it is also a testament."
The Holy Magician said, "Could this spear really slay a Holy Dragon?"
He truly couldn't believe it.
After all, this was just an ordinary spear used by ordinary soldiers. Although it was sharp, if it landed on a Holy Dragon, it probably wouldn't even pierce its scales.
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes," the City Lord said.
The Holy Magician said, "This spear should be sent to the Royal Capital."
The City Lord said, "No, even if I agree, the entire city's citizens won't. What we should be more concerned about now is whether that Holy Dragon, being a hybrid of the dragon race, actually belongs to the dragon race. This requires negotiation between the Empire and the dragon race."
Thinking about the beast tide just now, he shuddered.
If it weren't for that person, who could have stopped it?
Even if this Holy Magician had arrived, it would have been useless.
By the river.
Lin Fan was peeling the scales and skin off the Holy Dragon's corpse, then draining its blood. These were all precious treasures in the eyes of others, but to Lin Fan, they were quite ordinary.
When slaughtering a pig, one would stab it with a knife to drain its blood.
Some people liked to eat pig's blood, but he didn't particularly like it.
It had a strong fishy smell.
Holy Dragon blood was very important to others.
Applying it to the body could enhance one's physique. Of course, the effect wasn't that dramatic, but it still had a significant effect. Dragon blood could also be used in alchemy and was a rare material.
It might not even be available for purchase even if one had the money.
Of course, it could be bought in the real market, as some dragons lived in poverty and had no means of self-sufficiency, relying on selling their blood to maintain a simple life.
"I didn't expect the scales to be so hard, but the meat is so tender. It must be delicious."
Lin Fan collected the scales and dragon skin. As someone who enjoyed blacksmithing, he had never found suitable materials. Although this dragon was weak, the materials on its body were still decent.
They could be used to forge weapons.
After Lin Fan left, a group of magical beasts rushed out. When Lin Fan had arrived to clean the Holy Dragon's corpse, the unique aroma had already attracted their attention.
However, when the magical beasts saw the scene, they were terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.
It was too terrifying.
They had never seen anyone treat a Holy Dragon's corpse so cruelly.
Only after he left did these magical beasts rush forward like mad dogs, frantically licking the blood on the ground. Some even drank the river water mixed with Holy Dragon blood in large gulps.
There were too many scavengers and too few resources.
A terrible battle eventually broke out.
The magical beasts fought fiercely over some discarded Holy Dragon blood, and the scene was extremely gruesome, almost unbearable to watch.
So tragic!
In the village.
The villagers were busy as usual, but upon closer inspection, one could see that they had brought out their tables and piled up a lot of firewood in the village.
Kelan returned home from school and was puzzled when she saw this.
"Uncle Shi, what's all this for?" Kelan asked curiously.
Uncle Shi smiled and said, "It's nothing, there's a bonfire dance tonight. Hurry up and do your homework, you need to be on time tonight, you know."
"Really?" Kelan was excited; she loved lively activities.
"Of course it's real."
