Apocalypse Lord-Chapter 58 - 56: The Fall of the Mine
Lin Lan routinely entertained odd guests in the living room.
"Do you usually eat this tasteless stuff?"
Eleanor took a bite of the pine-flavored biscuit, showing a difficult expression: "I feel like cold fish bones are more appetizing than this..."
Beside her, Lucia was munching happily, her little mouth snapping away, almost sparking from the biscuit.
This witch seems quite easy to feed.
"It’s good enough to have something to eat."
Lin Lan sighed: "You must have noticed, my territory lacks everything."
"If that’s the case, why not follow me from now on, how about it?"
Eleanor casually put her long legs on the table, her eyebrows dancing: "You’re so capable, I can make you my First Mate!"
The blond witch beside them suddenly froze, as if turned to stone.
"Hurry up and put down those seawater-soaked boots."
Lin Lan said grumpily: "It’s time to talk business, how did you find me?"
"With this."
Eleanor took out her golden pocket watch and shook it towards Lin Lan: "I used this piece from Deep Sea Treasures to see your adventures in the star level."
Ed and Wendy looked shocked.
The secrets around Lord Roland are becoming more extraordinary, he has actually explored celestial calamities in the starry sky...
Lin Lan’s eyes became serious.
The ’Star Desecrator’ they mentioned, is that how it came about... Can that thing really monitor me?
"Don’t worry, the ’Angel’s Right Eye’ can only guide me once to the direction of a stranger."
Eleanor seemed to notice the doubt in Lin Lan’s eyes and proactively explained: "I can no longer continue to observe your experiences."
Lin Lan asked, "May I take a look at that pocket watch?"
"Of course, no problem." Eleanor tossed the pocket watch over without hesitation.
Lucia swallowed the biscuit and looked at Lin Lan’s face with some bewilderment.
Captain Eleanor usually treasures her pocket watch more than her life, she’s lent it several times and the captain never gave it, and now it’s so easily handed over to someone else?
I clearly came here first...

[Description 2: Bound to Celestial Principle Officer ■■■■ (System Error), Rebound to Black Dragon ’Eleanor’]
The pocket watch’s appearance is quite exquisite, entirely bright golden, with a half-open, half-closed single eye engraved on the back, feeling very much like a Fake Philosopher’s Stone.
There is only one pure white pointer in the dial, and it stays silently in place, motionless.
Lin Lan stared at the popped-up system panel, pondering.
Once again, Celestial Principle Company...
This company seems too formidable...
The large-scale ’Ideal City Space Ladder’ in the instance is merely a project of Celestial Principle Company’s ’Pioneer Department’...
"Lucia and I have been pursuing the ’Plumbum White’ that escaped from the Empire, but that ship sank into the Deep Sea, falling into the star level."
Eleanor explained the incident’s background: "And you just happen to possess the ability to enter the star level, so Angel’s Right Eye directed us here."
Empire’s sunken ship... Plumbum White... Fell into star level...
Images of what Lin Lan saw in the instance flashed through his mind immediately.
Plumbum White, could it be that large seven-masted sailboat stuck at the top of the Space Ladder, which looks completely out of place with its surroundings?
"What on earth is the origin of that ship?" Lin Lan handed the pocket watch back, with a curious expression.
"That is a legendary ghost ship that has wandered the ocean for over two hundred years!"
Eleanor said excitedly: "It used to be the navigation cargo ship of Princess Valentina, the offspring of the Black Emperor, when Mad Emperor was assassinated, Princess Valentina fled the Empire with Plumbum White, disappearing into the Deep Sea Gray Realm."
"It is said that the ship is loaded with rare treasures collected by the Mad Emperor, and over the past two hundred years, countless navigators have sought it."
She licked her lips: "But recently, it has reappeared in the ocean!"
Lin Lan pondered.
That ship is currently watched over by the Insect Swarm Brothers, he and Bai will have to find a way to climb to the upper levels later.
The next problem is how to settle these two guests who have come from afar.
"We’ll discuss Plumbum White and the star level in detail later."
He looked at the Pirate Leader: "What are your plans next?"
Eleanor and Lucia exchanged glances.
"In fact, our Black Wing encountered a collapse disaster in the Gray Realm, and that ship has already sunk, it might take some time to salvage it..."
She showed her pointed teeth, embarrassedly saying: "We’ll have to stay on your territory for a while, you’ll take us in, right?"
Lin Lan: ... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Ed’s eyes had already turned somewhat hopeless.
"Everyone’s a monster of the sea, take care of each other! I can totally be your muscle!"
Eleanor laughed dryly while winking at Lucia: "And my First Mate is very capable too, right?"
"Now you remember your good First Mate?"
Lucia rolled her eyes at the captain, wiped the biscuit crumbs from her mouth, and sniffed at Lin Lan: "If you have any technical problems that can only be solved with hands, I can help you resolve them."
Lin Lan nodded, smiling.
"Then your timing is just perfect."
His current smile was like that of a villainous scoundrel: "I happen to have a little problem here..."
·
"I beg you, spare me!!"
Shluk! The golden Iron Spear pierced through the throat of the crier.
Jay exhaled a breath of warmth, withdrawing the Ash Soil Long Spear from the Iron Guard’s corpse.
"For Lord Roland!!!"
"Kill them all!!"
The shouting of the Civilian Corps echoed across the forest edge, Lord Levell’s iron mine was already strewn with corpses.
The remaining Iron Guards hesitantly resisted, but whether they struggled or pleaded, their final fate was ruthless execution by the militia.
Jay’s eyes were cold.
The camp near the mine was piled with the broken bodies of women and children, all these Lord’s Iron Guards were heartless fiends!
"Centurion, the iron mine is cleared, but a few Lord’s Iron Guards have escaped into the forest."
Moments later, a Decurion rushed to his side, breathlessly reporting: "Should we go after them?"
Jay calmly considered the next steps.
"The terrain deep in the forest is too complex, it’s full of swamps hidden under snow, the mud in them hasn’t completely frozen."
He shook his head: "There’s no need to risk pursuing."
This young man is rapidly transforming in blood and fire, born a competent warrior.
He then gave instructions: "Start collecting the spoils and pacifying the civilians, our task is to firmly hold onto this iron mine."
"Yes!"
