Fey Evolution Merchant

1961 You Must Want to Take Back Your Position Badly!

When Lin Yuan searched for new members of the Astronomical Parliament, he was always strict about assessing their character. There was no way he was going to use resources to nurture a shell that only had power.

To many leaders of factions, power was everything.

It was a fact that Lin Yuan also placed importance on power, but power could be improved using Creation Master resources, which Lin Yuan had no lack of.

The wish made by the first person guided by the constellations was to trade everything he had in exchange for being beloved by all women.

Lin Yuan saw such wishes that casually stamped over life and dignity as ridiculous.

Usually, Wen Yu would seek Lin Yuan’s opinion when she found someone somewhat acceptable. But after this person appeared, Wen Yu immediately kicked him out of the Astronomical Parliament and continued with the search.

A figure that had comprehended three Willpower Runes appeared in the Astronomical Parliament. He had to be talented to be able to comprehend three Willpower Runes.

This person’s wish was understandable. He wanted to trade all he had in order to evolve his Fantasy Breed fey to Myth Breed.

However, Lin Yuan found this wish to be shameless.

He wanted to increase his power for the sake of an inheritance that was not rightfully his so he could snatch it out of the hands of a member of his family. More importantly, this family member always took good care of this man and had been the one who helped him to evolve his fey to Fantasy Breed.

Lin Yuan felt that such scum would be better off killed.

If not for the rule in the Astronomical Parliament that people who had been guided by the constellations but not yet formed contracts with the north-south constellation seats could not be killed, Lin Yuan would have eliminated this person.

Wen Yu had picked eight candidates, and each one of them was more ridiculous than the last one.

Although Wen Yu had picked them very quickly, it still took her almost ten minutes.

When the 11th candidate was guided to the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu and Lin Yuan inhaled sharply.

Both of them shared a look as they felt excitement explode within them.

Wen Yu frequently updated Lin Yuan about the situation in the marsh world, and he told her about the happenings in the Divine Wood Federation.

Wen Yu knew that Lin Yuan was about to be done with his business in Sacred Forest City and was going to move on to his plan for the Iron Hammer Federation.

At first, Lin Yuan wanted Ta Lei to reveal the news that there was a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master in his territory so the people from the Iron Hammer Federation’s imperial court would make contact with him.

But now, there was no need for Lin Yuan to do so.

At the same time, he now also knew why the Iron Wood Federation’s imperial court had recalled their soldiers.

It turned out that the Iron Hammer Federation’s previous king had died, and the new king had usurped his throne.

The Iron Hammer Federation’s first princess and the first in line to the throne had been defeated. She was currently floating quickly down the Ice Wave River.

Lin Yuan knew so much because the person that Wen Yu had just guided into the Astronomical Parliament was the first princess of the Iron Wood Federation, Luo Lan.

At the instant that Luo Lan was called into the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu and Lin Yuan had access to her life experiences.

Luo Lan’s life experience and knowledge allowed Lin Yuan to fully understand the internal situation in the Iron Hammer Federation and numerous secrets in the Startling Lines Continent.

Luo Lan was first in line to succeed to the throne of the Iron Wood Federation, yet she had succumbed without fighting back. This was likely because she was too naive and an idealist.

But if she could truly enter the imperial court, the entire Iron Hammer Federation would benefit.

While Lin Yuan was looking through the information collected by Su Yiren, he knew that the food supply in the Iron Wood Federation was extremely tight, especially during winter. Still, he had not anticipated the scarcity to be so severe.

Many people were going hungry in the Freezing Hammer Tribe, where the imperial court was situated.

If things continued as they were, war would break out between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation over food security.

No one with a conscience would be able to watch as the Iron Hammer Federation devolved into starvation.

The Iron Hammer Federation’s new king, Luo Cai, did not have addressing starvation at the top of his agenda.

Instead, he decided to put all the lives of low-class Creation Masters of tribes in danger by recalling soldiers so he could send them out to hunt down Luo Lan.

Solely from the fact that Luo Lan wanted to try and solve the hunger issue in the Iron Hammer Federation made her a better choice to be the ruler of the Iron Hammer Federation than Luo Cai.

Lin Yuan supported the Yi family of the Divine Wood Federation.

If he could save Luo Lan and help her regain control of the Iron Hammer Federation’s imperial court, he could use her to take over the Iron Hammer Federation.

In other words, 2/3 of the Startling Lines Continent would be under his control.

At first, Luo Lan was certain that she was dead.

Yet, right before she lost consciousness, she found herself in a meeting surrounded by constellations.

There were 12 golden thrones at the anterior of the space, ten of which were empty, while two were occupied.

On top of the two people sitting on the thrones were beautiful stars shrouded by clouds. It was a magnificent sight!

There were six figures next to her who were seated spaced out amongst 76 seats.

Luo Lan looked at her position. It seemed as though she was one of them.

At that moment, Luo Lan heard a pleasant voice say, “You are the first princess of the Iron Hammer Federation, and your father was murdered. I’m sure you badly want to return to the imperial court to kill your enemy and take back your rightful position!”

No matter how calm Luo Lan was, she could not figure out what she was looking at.

The fey she had contracted was skilled at creating illusions, and she knew full well what an illusion was.

The sight in front of her was vast and was impossible to be the result of an illusion.

Thus, when she heard the voice, her entire body rattled as though she had just been struck by lightning.

The words were like a sword piercing Luo Lan and tearing open the wound that had not yet fully healed, painfully gouging out her flesh.

Her biggest dream was to return to the imperial court to kill Luo Cai with her own hands as revenge for her father. She also yearned to return to the imperial court to address the burden she had been carrying with her for the past 27 years.

Alas, thinking alone was useless.

The imperial court was now fully under Luo Cai’s control, and those who had protected her were all dead. Even if she did manage to return to the imperial court, she would not be able to stand up against Luo Cai.

After the voice reignited Luo Lan’s deepest hopes, rationality closed the jaws of disappointment down on her.

...

Luo Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure wrapped in thousands of willpowers and laws. He seemed to be invincible.

This caused a thin rope of hope to dangle down to Luo Lan in her pits of despair.
