Episode 16: Sea of Stars and Mist Chapter 17 – A Crossfire

Miluo Island, a dazzling pearl in the sea of stars and fog.

It was indeed surprising that unofficial forces had built free castles for commercial trade and maintained them for countless years. Because of its low tax rate and location advantage, countless Hell merchants gathered here. There were countless customers who came to the Freedom Castle every day.

Freedom Castle had a total of six floors, and it was the first four floors that were openly accessible to guests, and Linley and the others were currently in the first floor hall.

“Fighting is also strictly forbidden within this Freedom Castle, it’s very safe, so everyone just spread out. If you want to buy anything, go buy it yourself. When we’re done buying, we’ll gather here again.”

Linley said as he looked around the crowd, this group of them already naturally taking Linley as their leader.

Everyone agreed, after all, each person had different wealth and purchased different items, and immediately, the group of people all spread out and left in twos and threes.

“Linley, I’ll casually go look around as well.”

Olivia said to Linley, and went off to wander the entirety of Freedom Castle on her own.

Only Linley, Delia, and Bebe remained together.

“Boss, where do we go first?”

Bebe’s heart was hot, he was now a man of great wealth, and he was most enthusiastic about spending money on things.

Linley glanced around, and saw the price tags of each counter item at the side of the hall, which were all very low, most of them only below a hundred inkstones. Linley could remember that when he was in the Bauhinia Castle, the Bauhinia Castle had three floors, and the three floors had three levels of prices.

Presumably, this Freedom Castle was the same.

“Go straight to the fourth level, I guess these four levels are divided according to price. The fourth tier is where the best items are.”

Linley and the others weren’t wasting their money, but they also understood that the more expensive the item in hell, the better it would be.

Bebe was immediately the first to then walk in front, with Linley and Delia following behind, directly up the stairs continuously.

“There are quite a lot of island protector warriors.”

Linley noticed that Upper God warriors in blood-red armor could be seen everywhere in this Freedom Castle.

Delia laughed, “With so many Island Protector warriors, even if someone wanted to make a move, they wouldn’t dare, right?”

Linley nodded.

Bebe looked closely at the island protector warriors, “A group of upper divine warriors joining forces to attack. And how many people could resist it, of course the average person wouldn’t dare make trouble!”

“Even if there are strong people who can resist a group of island protector warriors around, it is expected that more island protector warriors will gather over. This Miluo Island has stood for countless years, it’s no joke.”

With words in their mouths, Linley and the others had arrived at the fourth level of the Freedom Castle.

The stairway to that fourth level was guarded, and upon seeing that the three of them, Linley, were all demons. And Delia was still an upper divine Demon, so she was directly released.

Inside the spacious hall on the fourth floor, there were individual exhibition rooms with a number of commodities. The price tag of each piece was extremely astonishing, with the lowest ones costing millions, and the higher ones even hundreds of millions of ink stones. In this kind of place, ordinary God-level powerhouses simply didn’t dare to come in.

“Boss. There are Death God puppets for sale here!”

Bebe said excitedly.

“Death God puppets?”

Linley immediately followed Bebe’s direction. Sure enough, there was a large exhibition room with several Death God puppets placed within.

Delia smiled, “Linley, you’ve finally found it.”

Linley immediately smiled and walked over, he had long wanted to purchase some Death Puppets, this Death Puppet could be completely used to pester the other party to escape at critical moments. It was just that this Death Puppet wasn’t something that could be bought with money, Linley had explored other cities and pools and hadn’t found any Death Puppets for sale at all.

“Hey, how do you sell this Death Puppet?”

Bebe was the first to ask.

The store owner was a short black hair. A cold teenager with purple eyes, he was sitting in the store with his eyes closed, when he heard Bebe’s voice he opened his eyes and indifferently said, “The price is clearly written on the counter, see for yourself!”

With that, he unexpectedly closed his eyes again.

Linley couldn’t help but laugh. To do business with such an attitude. It was really rare.

“This person, is relying on the fact that this Death Puppet is a good seller.”

Delia laughed.

Linley nodded. Then he glanced at the price list, this Death Golem was divided into three levels according to the hardness of its body, and the highest level Death Golem had a body hardness comparable to that of an upper divine artifact. It was extremely difficult to destroy.

Low, medium, and high, this high grade Death Golem, 150 million ink stones per frame!

This price was quite reasonable.

“Just this Higher Death Golem, how many do you have?”

Linley opened his mouth.

Only then did the cold black-haired youth open his eyes and glanced at Linley with a frown, “How many are you buying?”

“A hundred drivers, do you have any?”

Bebe said, Linley couldn’t help but look at Bebe, he himself wasn’t prepared to purchase that many, one had to know that controlling a Death Puppet to fiercely fight with someone would require concentration to control.

Generally, one person could only control one.

Of course, if precise control wasn’t needed, one person could control several.

Now that Linley had four souls, he could precisely control four Death Puppets at the same time, but of course, if his true self needed to fight with the enemy, he could at most let the other three souls precisely control three Death Puppets. If not precisely manipulated, it would be able to control a lot more.

That cold youth shook his head and said, “Higher Death Puppets, I’ll sell you ten at most!”

“Ten is fine.”

Linley laughed, already satisfied with this amount Linley, “And that medium golem, you can give me two hundred of those as well.”

Linley was prepared to precisely control the high death golem, as for the medium ones, to be cannon fodder in times of danger.

This medium death golem, on the other hand, was priced at fifteen million dollars.

“Two hundred?”

That cold teenager shook his head, “I’ll provide up to one hundred.”

“That’s fine.”

Linley then happily paid for these ten High Death Puppets and one hundred Medium Death Puppets. The 2.7 billion inkstones spent on purchasing these Death God puppets were nothing to the present-day Linley.

They had over two hundred billion in cash alone.

And the countless amethysts that Bebe had collected, that was even more astonishingly huge.

The total price was actually three billion. It was just that Bei Bei had those ten victory over the earth tokens and purchased items at a 10% discount!

After selling these ten High Death Puppets and one hundred Medium Death Puppets, that cold teenager had a rare smile on his face and directly waved his hand, putting all the other items in the store into his spatial ring. Immediately, he turned around and left the fourth floor hall.

“He actually left?”

Bebe glared.

“People have probably sold out all the important goods, and the remaining low-grade Death Puppets on the ground only make up a small portion of the total.”

Linley guessed.

This Death Golem thing. It was difficult to manufacture.

It was also difficult to buy with money, and he had wandered through other cities over the years but had never found a Death Golem. One can imagine the rarity of this Death Puppet.

“Let’s go, keep buying other treasures!”

Bebe was elated.

Walking in the fourth floor hall of the individual exhibition rooms, Linley also felt the benefits of having money, many coveted treasures could be bought directly. To know …… these treasures, perhaps it was a large number of strong people who risked their lives to get them.

And Linley. One only needed to spend money to obtain them.

“We should go down, right?”

Bebe said, “This fourth layer is almost done wandering.”

The only thing left for them on this fourth level, Linley, was the flurry of clothing stores in the distance that they hadn’t wandered through, or at least Bebe didn’t have the slightest interest in the clothing stores.

In his opinion, buying clothes was boring!

“Wait, there’s still that clothing seller, let’s go shopping.”

Linley even said, “Delia. What do you say?”

Linley had long since noticed. Delia had directed her gaze there from time to time, this woman, ah, still had an eye for clothing.

Delia hummed and walked over.

There were some women trying on clothes in this clothing store, but when he saw the price of that clothing, Linley also felt a shock: “These clothes, they’re ridiculously expensive, they’re millions of inkstones.”

Although he said that, but Delia liked it. Linley wouldn’t care either.

After browsing through three clothing stores, Delia didn’t have a favorite place and came to the fourth clothing store.

There were quite a few customers within this one, and business was good.

“Not bad.”

As soon as Linley entered, he felt that each set of clothes gave him a pleasing feeling. Each set of clothes was like a work of art. It was just that all of the clothes here were also amazingly expensive. Other places had a million inkstones per set of clothes. Whereas here, each set was tens of millions of earth, and only a few were in the millions.

“Linley, how about this one?”

After many choices, Delia valued a pink-based outfit. Linley took a look and couldn’t help but have his eyes light up, “Not bad.”

Delia’s smile was like a flower, and it was clear that she was also in love with this set of clothes. It was just that the price of this clothing was frighteningly expensive —- Just one set of clothes, the price was surprisingly more than eighty million inkstones!

It was already the second most expensive place in the store. The most expensive one, the price is 100 million ink stones.

The shopkeeper next to him immediately said enthusiastically, ”The material of this set of clothes is taken from the feathers of the most beautiful Perseus Swan Clan in the Bright Divine Realm, and the owner of each feather has reached the Upper Divine Realm, so this set of clothes, the material and shipping costs alone are a staggering amount. Its own degree of defense is comparable to an Upper Divine Defense Artifact!”

“Oh?”

Linley was somewhat surprised in his heart.

Combining practicality and beauty, this price was normal.

“Buy it.”

Linley nodded.

That shopkeeper felt a surge of surprise when he saw Linley nodding his head in agreement so breezily. At the same time, he was also secretly shocked that this person was indeed unrecognizable, Linley was a Mediate God from the outside, yet he didn’t care at all about purchasing a set of garments that cost nearly a hundred million dollars.

“See this?”

Bebe reached out and flipped out the token of his ten victories.

“Uh ……”

This shopkeeper couldn’t help but be staggered, and then laughed, “Fine, fine, 90% off! You only need to pay seventy-six million inkstones.”

Linley smiled and then made the payment.

Delia, however, was wearing the pink outfit, looking carefully in front of the mirror, looking happy. Linley looked at Delia’s slightly reddened face, and under the pink dress outfit, the entire person looked so dainty.

Linley had to say that the clothes were worth buying!

At this moment, right outside the store, there were six people, the leader of which was a cold young man with short red hair who stood at a height of two meters and two meters, who was currently gazing at Delia in her new clothes, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Young master, fancy it?”

A silver-haired old man in the back said softly.

“En, not bad.”

That red short-haired youth nodded slightly, then he said in a loud voice, “Boss, the clothes that woman is wearing, do you still have them here?”

Upon hearing this, that store owner looked at Delia and even shook his head, “Sorry, the material of this set of clothes is too rare, and we only have one in this store. Every set of clothes in our store is a rare item, most of them are single!”

“Only one?”

The red-haired cold youth frowned, and then glanced at Delia.

The silver-haired old man behind him immediately walked very knowingly towards the duo of Linley and Delia, and said directly to Delia, “Our young master has taken a fancy to this set of clothes you’re wearing, sell us this set of clothes.”

Linley was stunned at this, and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at him.

“What did you say?”

Linley felt amused.

“The clothes, give them to us. We’ll pay you whatever the price is, we’ll double it.”

The silver-haired old man said indifferently, and the shopkeeper obviously regretted hearing that.

“Double?”

Linley laughed, glancing back at Delia, “Don’t say double, even ten times won’t sell!”

That silver-haired old man’s face turned ugly.

“Hey, is that your young master?”

Bei Bei even squinted at that red-haired cold youth and skimmed his lips, “This young master, the clothes you’re wearing are not bad, I’ve got my eye on them. You can resell your clothes to me. I’ll double my bid as well, are you willing to sell it to me?”
