Chapter 267 - 249: Akelie
Once Lynn and Natasha had their hands free, the fate of the people in the manor was sealed.
The two of them, with a dragon, and occasionally aided by a sneak attack from a snow eagle, swiftly cleared out the lair of this great slave owner.
However, since this lair was their mansion, there were family members living inside, and where there were families, there were inevitably the elderly, weak, women, and children.
Lynn and the others killed all those who deserved to die, but these family members were simply bound by Sifrin using Light Divine Technique and thrown into their own dungeon.
As for the slaves originally held in the dungeon, they were temporarily taken over by the Light Guards summoned by Sifrin from various places in the Beastman Kingdom, to be unifiedly returned or resettled later.
"It’s always the most satisfying working with you!"
After finishing the task, Sifrin looked at the Light Guards she called in to clean up, then glanced at the expressionless Lynn, sincerely exclaiming.
This revived slave trade had thrived up to now, with countless debates within the Light Church Court unable to reach a decision, nor allocate enough forces to handle any situation.
If it weren’t for following Lynn passing through the Beastman Kingdom this time, Sifrin didn’t know how long this evil would continue.
"Don’t rush to pat me on the back, better think about how to handle those people, I won’t help you solve problems outside of violence."
Upon hearing Sifrin’s exclamation, Lynn pointed in the direction of the dungeon.
The remaining elderly, weak, women, and children among the slave owner’s family couldn’t simply be killed or let go; handling them wasn’t something that could be achieved just by strength, at least Lynn wouldn’t help solve such morally challenging issues.
"It’s not difficult; once the slave owners are killed, all captives will be sent to the Holy Mountain of Light, making them walk through the Eternal Radiant Holy Fire one by one. Those burned by the holy fire will be slaughtered, and those who pass the holy fire test safely can be released without concern."
Sifrin seemed more thorough in her preparations than Lynn thought; it appeared she had long been ready, just unable to implement the plan due to various reasons.
If it weren’t for Sifrin mentioning it this time, Lynn wouldn’t have known about the existence of the Eternal Radiant Holy Fire at the Holy Mountain of Light. Although Sifrin didn’t explain its functionality in detail, based on her method of handling captives, its role could roughly be deduced.
Anyway, Lynn certainly wouldn’t dare to walk through the Eternal Radiant Holy Fire, not because of a guilty conscience, but he guessed his Demon Race identity might not fool it. If he were to touch it, it might not just burn him — it could likely explode into flames with a "boom"...
Value life, stay away from the Eternal Radiant Holy Fire.
Fortunately, this time, I am visiting the Light Empire as the Miracle Saint Emperor and Light Divine Envoy; surely, they wouldn’t drag such a distinguished guest through fire, right?
"Since you’re already prepared, let’s head to the next city; merely catching a typical case might not be enough to show resolve."
With Lynn’s words, slave owners and traders everywhere were fortunate to receive a genuine Divine Protection Continent first-person family bucket gift, not to be missed if seen or passed by.
"Alright, I’ll lead the way for you."
Sifrin smiled upon hearing this, then dutifully invited Lord Lynn to follow her closely.
Originally wanting to rest here for the night before heading out again, they didn’t get actual rest throughout the night.
The two of them, along with a dragon and a bird, raided six great slave owners that night, conveniently destroying more dens of evil.
As dawn approached, even Sifrin couldn’t count how many people they had killed. Yet, despite that, she hadn’t had her fill of killing; but after this night, news inevitably leaked, with many target figures likely having fled.
The remainder was the business of the Light Church Court, mainly the Light Judgment Hall.
With Lynn as the vanguard, it’s believed that the royal families of various countries and regional divine halls wouldn’t serve as protective umbrellas for this chain of evil interests anymore, as continued protection would cause the umbrella to collapse.
"To prevent vengeful reprisal against you from those with nowhere left to turn, your family has been included in the highest protection sequence of the Light Church Court. Unless a Demon Race army invades again, we guarantee they won’t be harmed in the slightest."
Busy throughout the night, having killed those who should have died and clearly demonstrated their stance, Sifrin communicated with others via internal channels of the Light Church Court to arrange setups.
She’s truly reliable when not being mischievous; after directing and deploying for a while, everything was carefully set up by her.
"Let’s fill our bellies and hit the road again; we’re not in a hurry, but let’s not delay."
Lynn nodded and then fetched some food from his Spatial Ring and had a quick bite.
Afterward, the group continued on their journey, finally reaching the Light Empire within three days after passing through numerous teleportations.
This was their result of taking special routes; otherwise, given the vastness of the Divine Protection Continent, reaching the edge of the Light Empire from the center of the Celestial Destiny Empire would take many days and nights.
The Light Empire, located at the former anti-demon front line, had the broadest use of Teleportation Arrays, with nearly every city having direct paths to the Holy City of Light, allowing Lynn and his team to arrive within the Holy City without further array transfers.
Early on, when Lynn and his team were wreaking havoc in the Beastman Kingdom, news had already reached the Light Empire. To ensure they didn’t miss welcoming the Light Divine Envoy, every teleportation array within the Holy City of Light was guarded around the clock.
