“Hmm? Why haven’t we seen a single one today?” Brooks was puzzled, looking around.
It was unusually quiet.
Carmen joked while flattering, “Ghouls are timid creatures. Could it be that they sensed our Dennis and hid out of fear?”
“Haha, that must be it. Let’s go into the forest and find them.” Brooks laughed.
Little did they know that this joke was actually true.
Ghouls only fed on corpses, which was enough to prove their cowardice. They had sensed the demonic aura from Lin Tian from afar!
And it was a particularly strong one.
In terms of strength, Lin Tian had already reached four thousand during the bloody battle in Bright Town a long time ago. Recently, he had also dealt with the top-tier Flame Dragon Mother.
His combat power had now reached five thousand.
As Lin Tian and his companions entered the forest, the ghouls fled frantically in the darkness, not daring to approach.
As they got closer, they drove all the ghouls to the edge of the underground palace.
“Get down! They’re over there, so many of them!”
Suddenly, Brooks said urgently, lying on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.
Lin Tian finally saw the true appearance of the ghouls.
They were dwarves turned into corpses, already somewhat withered and rotten, with sharp fangs and claws, crawling quickly on the ground like dogs.
They emitted a creepy low moan.
They seemed agitated and uneasy.
“What should we do?! There are at least dozens of them!”
Carmen’s hands were trembling. If they were discovered, they would surely die.
But in the next second, Lin Tian walked straight towards the group of ghouls.
“No, Dennis!” Brooks shouted, but it was too late.
The ghouls all turned to look at Lin Tian, their ferocious, blood-red eyes seemingly ready to pounce.
But that was not the reality.
With each step Lin Tian took, the ghouls retreated in fear, driven to the stone walls of the underground palace, even trying to dig holes to escape.
One person had frightened dozens of ghouls into submission!
This incredible scene left Brooks and Carmen utterly shocked. “Who... who is he?! This isn’t right!”
Lin Tian took out a dust-covered iron sword he had picked up from the guild.
It was already considered an exceptionally fine sword outside, capable of fetching a high price.
With a swing of his sword, all the ghouls were cut into pieces!
None of them resisted.
They even trembled with fear!
The two behind him watched in astonishment, their faces full of shock!Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m
The ghouls that even hundreds of retired dwarf warriors couldn’t defeat were slaughtered like chickens waiting to be killed.
It felt as if they were slaughtering their own livestock.
The absolute obedience and fear that livestock had for their owners were vividly reflected in the ghouls.
They didn’t dare to resist at all!
“Done, let’s go.”
Lin Tian picked up the head of the large ghoul and said, knowing that with this trophy, they would surely get recognition.
He turned to find that the eyes of the two were filled with shock and a trace of fear.
Brooks quickly forced a smile, “Young man, you’re really amazing. Let’s... let’s go.”
After speaking, he couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Back in the kingdom, they went straight to the palace to seek an audience with the king.
At the gate, they were stopped by the guards, “The king is unwell and cannot see you at the moment.”
“Hey, look carefully, we solved the ghoul problem!” Brooks cursed.
The Queen spoke with a forlorn expression, looking at her fingers. “If it weren’t for him being with me, I wouldn’t know how to survive...”
“This...”
Before Lin Tian could say anything more, the Queen pulled him into her embrace and kissed him.
Feeling her fragrant tongue, Lin Tian couldn’t restrain himself.
He settled the matter right then and there.

After a long while.
Seeing the Queen on the ground, her clothes in disarray and unable to get up, Lin Tian asked, “Can you teach me forging techniques now?”
The Queen’s mind was still floating, unable to speak for the moment.
She had gone too high.
“Your Majesty, the King... he can’t hold on any longer!”
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a dwarf guard rushed in anxiously.
Seeing the weakened, disheveled Queen on the ground, he was dumbfounded!
His mouth opened wide. “What... what happened here?!”
Upon hearing this, the Queen struggled to stand, tidying her clothes. “Nothing, he resolved the ghoul problem for the kingdom. I had to reward him.”
“Reward...”
The guard caught a glimpse of the Queen’s body curves, and his nose started bleeding uncontrollably.
Shaking his head, he remembered the urgent matter. “The King can’t hold on any longer. Please come quickly.”
“Really? Today is truly a double blessing.”
After tidying up, the Queen prepared to leave.
Lin Tian, still in a daze, said, “I’ll head back to the guild first. I’ll come find you later.”
However, the Queen grabbed his hand, her eyes seductive as she said, “You’re coming with me. From now on, the palace is your home. I am the King, and you are the Queen, understood?”
“What the...?”
Lin Tian was stunned. How had he become the Queen?
Was this happiness or bliss?
It seemed to be both.
This way, he could rightfully learn the top-tier forging techniques of the Dwarf Kingdom!
It was definitely a huge gain!
Initially, he thought this place was heaven, and now he was sure—it was heaven indeed!
When they reached the King’s palace, he had already passed.
Lin Tian couldn’t help but gasp, “Hiss! This...”
The figure on the bed wasn’t just a recently deceased person; it was a mummified corpse.
With blackened eyes and withered hands.
Even his lips were white.
“Don’t look at me like that. When he forcibly married me ten years ago, he was already impotent. Otherwise, why would I approach you directly in the Sanctuary...”
The Queen said, unable to hide her joy on her face.
Today was indeed a double blessing for her.
And for Lin Tian as well.
“I need to handle the coronation ceremony in the next two days. Feel free to explore the palace, but stay with me at night.”
Queen Adele said with a wicked smile.
Lin Tian nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Suddenly, Adele gently placed her jade-like hand over Lin Tian’s lips. “Still calling me Your Majesty? Call me dear~.”
Lin Tian felt a bit awkward, but calling her “dear” was definitely worth it.
The Dwarf Kingdom’s magical tools would all be his.
