Chapter 412: Chapter 356: Writing "The Old Man and the Sea
"At the moment, it seems that the properties of just rooster quills, ice emerald trees, and mithril ore are most suitable for our requirements."
Andor glanced at the data in the book, and the recorded content quickly flowed through his mind: "... However, the quills of the Red Sack Bird and the conductivity of the Ghost Flower are the best, and the compatibility of the Bone Stone is the best..."
Andor introduced each item, and the newly added data was almost complete.
When the last wave of people entered the temple and exited again, the final data was finally recorded.
After the data was recorded, Andor closed the book and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Ke patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, well done... Have you arranged the subsequent work?"
"Arranged it with Buck Coaction." Andor tucked the book under his arm, but a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes, then he said: "Additionally, Lady Yongge reported that the Ideal Kingdom is seeking negotiation recently, hoping we will support them out of solidarity as fellow Faser people."
"Ideal Kingdom? Isn’t that the group that wants to resolve the current social conflicts in a peaceful way?" Lin Ke turned his head and raised an eyebrow.
The Ideal Kingdom is a local Faser organization born under the influence of Lin Ke’s "New Faser Youth."
This organization mainly believes that since beings like the Great Wilderness Lord exist, other extraterrestrial visitors are also open to communication.
Faser people need to use sincerity and kindness to move them, leading them to back away through the influence of love.
You have to admit, Lin Ke was indeed stunned by this idea initially.
It is said that the leader of the Ideal Kingdom is named Chengxin, a fifteenth-level Holy Sanctuary Mage.
Lin Ke thought this person was a real talent!
Even a white lotus couldn’t be that pure, right?
So Lin Ke basically ignored some of the requests and statements from the Ideal Kingdom.
For instance, while the Fan Ye Party is resisting the forces from the east and north of Naseng, the Ideal Kingdom has been secretly obstructing and trying to make the Fan Ye Party stop resisting, listen to each other, and influence the other side.
Lin Ke didn’t know how such an organization survived, but he fully respected such a mindset, as the world requires diversity.
It’s just that those who obstruct will ultimately be crushed.
And now, the Ideal Kingdom actually wants to ask for help?
"The Ideal Kingdom encountered forces of the Ocean of Stars and Waves and has already been driven to flee six major cities." Andor reported, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Logically, Lady Yongge wouldn’t report such trivial information..."
Indeed.
The Fan Ye Party people scorn the Ideal Kingdom’s ideals.
They dislike things that seem grand but are incredibly hollow.
Under Lin Ke’s influence, they became very pragmatic and would not be deceived by empty rhetoric.
Especially Andor and Bai Bing, under Lin Ke’s tutelage, avoided those frivolous things, adhering to facts, and acted decisively with high efficiency.
If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked; if the upper beam is straight, the lower beam is hard to be crooked.
Thus, the Fan Ye Party people most despise those in the Ideal Kingdom who are lost in fantasy.
It’s better to call them the Fantasy Kingdom!
"Hmm, you have a point..." Lin Ke narrowed his eyes, also sensing something was amiss.
Lady Yongge, truth be told, is more sophisticated than Lin Ke. If she made a move, she might be trying to convey some kind of message to him.
"Wait a moment, Andor, bring out the territory map of the Ideal Kingdom for me to see." Lin Ke suddenly thought of a possibility and said to Andor.
Andor didn’t know what Lin Ke discovered, but he still took out the map, which was marked with various symbols for easy differentiation of terrain and forces.
At this time, Lin Ke drew a route on the map, depicting the path of the Ideal Kingdom’s pursuit and their pursuers.
Along with the paths of several other local Naseng forces being chased, after outlining them all, the nearby Andor’s eyes widened abruptly.
"Is this..." Andor’s eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
Lin Ke finished sketching the route map, crossed his arms and chuckled: "Heh, are they planning to surround the Great Wilderness Lord?"
Surround the Great Wilderness Lord!
In the routes outlined by Lin Ke, they all pointed to one place, the northwest!
Forces from the north, east, northeast, southwest, and southeast were simultaneously converging towards the northwest through attacks and pursuits.
Perhaps Lady Yongge discovered something unusual, which is why she specifically used the Ideal Kingdom’s request for support to remind Lin Ke here.
"Andor, there’s a traitor in the organization." Lin Ke narrowed his eyes, revealing a murderous intent: "Lady Yongge could only use such subtle means to convey a message, maybe someone abandoned our ideals and beliefs."
Just kidding, Lady Yongge must have found something. Otherwise, why use such subtle methods to remind?
It’s known that much of the Fan Ye Party’s strength comes from the support of the Great Wilderness Lord and the gods behind them.
And the gods’ support is also said to come from the Great Wilderness Lord.
Simply put, if the Great Wilderness Lord is gone, the entire Fan Ye Party will collapse in an instant.
In such a critical moment, there is actually a traitor in the Fan Ye Party, and their position is not low; this indeed needs attention.
So, Andor’s face turned serious, and he nodded, "Yes, I’ll investigate."
"Hmm." Lin Ke nodded slightly, then stopped looking at the map and continued researching the internet medium.
He wanted to develop it quickly to take it to Naseng for mass production later.
...
In a few days, the second book by the Great Wilderness Lord was published, titled "The Old Man and the Sea"!
Upon release, it attracted widespread attention from both worlds.
Could the person who wrote "Notre-Dame Cathedral" have a second book that disappoints?
Especially when many people noticed that Lin Ke seemed to have become an "Artist", they were even more anticipative.
The legendary "Angry Wind Wing-Displaying" under the Gula Kingdom Mountain Duke once again acted as a courier, taking Lin Ke’s completed book to Naseng for release.
In Faser, it was presented as part of the supplement issue of the Fan Ye Party’s "Faser New Youth."
Many people saw in "The Old Man and the Sea" the image of an aged strong man battling a mighty shark Magical Beast in the ocean.
This high song of life, not shying from battles for survival, truly moved people.
And the release of this article also injected a powerful force of courage into the hearts of many Faser people.
Even if it might lead to eternal damnation, even if it might end in death, even if it might gain nothing.
One must still fight for something!
A piece like "The Old Man and the Sea" ignited the fighting spirit of the Faser people, especially members of the Fan Ye Party, each appearing as though they’d been injected with adrenaline.
In Naseng, many people seemed to see Lin Ke, with just a fourteenth-level body, courageously fighting against numerous epic and Starlight Powerhouse figures.
"The Old Man and the Sea" became a hit!
