After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 620

Chapter 620: 451, ranked 11th in Miracle, Buti Tree_2

Lia worriedly thought, not knowing whether her mother and Dawen would be implicated in this matter.

The people kneeling on the ground, on hearing the involvement with Augutuo and Dragon's Rest Tomb, all turned pale and trembled violently.

Lin Da walked up to the people of Red Heart City.

“Those who held Oru, and those who took Klyne and Klrona as hostages, step forward.”

Lin Da said coldly.

Under normal combat circumstances, losing simply meant defeat, with nothing to complain about. However, he had heard that some members of Crimson took advantage of their upper hand to behave dishonorably.

Klrona, being young, was spared from harm.

It was unfortunate for Oru and Klyne.

Their buttocks were each groped by Timo and a certain bald man.

Facing Lin Da's questioning, the people of Red Heart City were so nervous that they dared not even breathe.

“No one will admit it?” Lin Da looked at them with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

A scent of gunpowder entered the noses of the people of Red Heart City.

The majestic aura of a Moon Rank adventurer bore down on them like a high mountain, inducing a slight suffocation.

Finally, Timo and the Baldy, unable to withstand the pressure, and two other Swordsman adventurers, tremulously stepped forward.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The four only saw a shadow flash before their eyes. Then, a severe pain blasted their chests, as if struck by a great iron hammer.

Without even the time to react, Timo and his companions spat blood and were sent flying twenty meters away.

The one with the lightest injury also had several ribs broken and couldn't get up from the ground.

For the following few months, they would be confined to a hospital bed.

Fry quickly said, “Thank you, Captain Lin Da, for showing mercy!”

Timo and the others also showed faces full of relief.

With Lin Da's strength, he could have completely crippled them.

Being able to recover after lying in bed for a few months was indeed quite lenient.

The four of them repeatedly expressed their thanks.

Lin Da remained impassive, issuing three conditions.

“I can let you go.”

First, for the next year, the yields from the 15th-level resource zone will belong to White Dove City.

Second, a ransom fee: 30 Purple Gold Coins for a Level 30 person, 39 for a Level 39.

Third, all of you are forbidden from setting foot within a half-step of White Dove City's resource zone.”

Lin Da: “Do you agree or refuse?”

Upon hearing this, Fry and the others turned purple with suppressed rage.

This was simply too outrageous!

The resource output of the Great Mystery Continent was the basic income for adventure teams.

When climbing the World Tree was not feasible, they completely relied on the resources of the Great Mystery Continent to get by.

When a strategy failed and their vitality was greatly damaged, they depended entirely on the resources of the Great Mystery Continent for recuperation.

Had it just been for the resources, Fry would have gritted his teeth and agreed.

The problem lay in the ransom fee demanded by Lin Da.

A minimum of 30 Purple Gold Coins per person!

According to the current black market exchange rate, 1 Purple Gold Coin = 13,000 Gold Coins.

They had a total of 115 people.

The average level was 33.

In total, this amounted to about 3800 Purple Gold Coins.

When converted to Gold Coins, the amount was… 49.4 million!

Fry only felt the world turn dark before his eyes, his mind filled with flashes and booming thunder.

He swayed backward, falling into the arms of his team members.

“Captain, Captain wake up!”

“Captain Celina, Captain Timo, why have you also fainted?”

The crowd wanted to cry but had no tears.

49.4 million Gold Coins was not a small sum.

Selling their three Iron Level adventure teams might suffice,

but they definitely didn't have enough cash!

“Maybe… an IOU?” Fry, revived by his team members, said dryly.

Lin Da shook his head, “I only want transfer via Savings Card.”

Fry's lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

Suddenly, a weary voice rang out.

“This incident was initiated by The Mandalas. We'll pay 30 million, and the rest, Captain Fry, you can distribute among yourselves.”

Lin Da raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction of the voice, which was none other than the Crimson Deputy Head.

Toward this adventurer known as the Thunder Swordsman, Lin Da's feelings were somewhat mixed.

Before today, Dawen was considered a friend.

Yet he assisted the tyrant and did not stop Augutuo.

Lin Da hadn't yet decided how to treat Dawen; he nodded and gestured for Tasya to go and handle the funds.

Three minutes later.

Fry and the others scraped together the ransom, half in Gold Coins and half in equivalent Magical Materials.

Dawen utilized his family's Savings Card to transfer 30 million to Lin Da.

Lin Da had already determined how to distribute these Gold Coins.

Phoenix Tail Flower would take forty percent, Snow Goose and the other three Iron-Level teams would each take twenty percent.

This proposal was readily agreed upon by everyone.

Without Phoenix Tail Flower's rescue, the consequences would have been grave.

Even if Lin Da took all the Gold Coins, no one would have said anything.

“I'll need to buy new equipment after reaching Moon Rank; with this money, it'll be much easier.”

Lin Da thought to himself.

The 19th level Perfect Clear had exploded with one Three-Star Legendary and ten pieces of Epic Equipment of varying star levels for Phoenix Tail Flower.

There was still a substantial gap from having full Moon-Tier Equipment for everyone.

Selling the useless spoils of war, plus the received 20 million Gold, would make it not too difficult.

With the opening of the 20th level of the Great Mystery Continent imminent, the more power they possessed, the better.

Fry, looking bereft as he touched the empty ring on his hand, led everyone to use the Teleportation Stone and leave the Great Mystery Continent.

“Lin Da, Lia, let's have a proper chat next time we meet,” Dawen sighed, “I'm sorry about today.”

After speaking, Dawen led the Crimson people away.

What awaited them would be scrutiny by the Imperial Knights.

The Mandala family, a colossal entity, might collapse during this crisis.

Lin Da noticed Lia's uneasy expression and, moved, extended his hand and patted her shoulder: “Don't worry. As long as Dawen and his group haven't contacted the Heretics, the Knights Order won't wrong a good person.”

“Also, have Snow Goose's people come over tonight; I have something to give you,” Lin Da said vaguely.

In conquering the 19th level, a total of four Legendary Pieces of equipment had exploded.

One of them was a Fire Series accessory.

Its properties were extremely dominant, capable of boosting Fire Damage by 40 percent.

It made the exploded Epic accessories look like scrap.

Lin Da gave it to Lia as an investment in Snow Goose.

Currently, in the presence of everyone, it was not convenient for Lin Da to mention giving Lia a Legendary piece.

Getting Aiko and Isa, two Provisional Swearers, involved wouldn't be too good.

If it were a piece of Legendary Equipment with a general attribute, Lin Da would consider Aiko and others first, but the Flame Giant Spirit was a Fire-Series boss, and the equipment it exploded was a perfect match for Lia.

At that moment, Lia didn't know what Lin Da was intending and puzzledly tilted her head.

“Kee kee kee~”

A cheerful bird call came from ahead.

Everyone tensed and looked towards the tree that seemed to be made of gold.

A rainbow-colored bird soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon with a rainbow-like halo.

This rainbow fell on top of the golden tree.

The sight was stunningly beautiful, as if from a fantasy.

As the bird flew off, the Buti Tree finally took form!

Isa hesitated for a moment and said: “Lin Da, Ice Flower has some matters to handle, so we'll leave first. See you later.”

Abner also said: “Our team members are tired, we'll take our leave first.”

“Ah? You all have urgent matters?” Lia said surprisedly.

Little did she know, this was the Ice Flower and Phoenix Tail Flower Group avoiding a split of the Buti Tree.

“Captain Abner, Isa, please stay,” Lin Da shook his head; “Without you all fighting desperately to guard the Buti Tree, this miracle could have been surrounded by Crimson's people, allowing them to scare off the Buti Bird and threaten me. That would have complicated matters.

Moreover, we are all colleagues from White Dove City; no need to be so formal.

In the future, when the Demon King's Army invades the continent, we will still need to fight alongside each other,” Lin Da said under their astonished gaze: “One spot each for Ice Flower, Snow Goose, and White Dove at Buti Tree.”

“That's too valuable,” Abner said: “Please let Captain Isa stay, my White Dove Adventure Group didn't contribute much, so we can't just occupy a spot.”

Isa pursed her lips, visibly struggling to suppress the anticipation in her eyes.

She really wanted a spot.

Compared to Lia He Lin Da, she was the weakest.

If she could secure a spot at the Buti Tree, Isa could draw closer to the other two.

“Captain Abner, please, don't be so modest. When Phoenix Tail Flower Team was at rock level, we received a lot of care from you. When Black Mamba from Black Mamba City attacked me, your White Dove Adventure Group risked their lives to help… A mere spot for the Buti Tree, what is that compared to your help?”

Lin Da said with a smile.

He always remembered those who had helped him.
