It was not very late when Lindke and his party returned to their lodgings.

This made her even more depressed. She felt that after leaving the Liu City, everyone would no longer care about her, especially when she saw that Linke and the others had actually brought back a white and tender kitten girl. So she angrily ran back to her room and didn't come out again.

As soon as he got back to his quarters, he went back to his room. The old man who always followed behind Feyas was also sent away by him. There shouldn't be any problems here in the base.

A group of young men gathered in the living room of Link's room.

Lin Ke, Xue'er, Lilith and Neil, along with Phias and the cat girl who was standing in the middle with an apprehensive expression on her face. Although Neil had already spoken to her on the way here, she still revealed a very terrified expression.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Your name is Merrie, right? Can you understand what I'm saying? " Linke was the first to ask the kitten girl.

The kitten girl glanced at Neil, but after seeing the latter's smile, she timidly nodded at Lin Ke, not daring to say a single word.

"Then where are you from in the Beastman Empire? Let's see if I can send you back to your hometown." Linke asked.

The kitten girl, Melly, stared at Link with fear before looking at Neil. She pursed her lips and shook her head, as if she had already made up her mind.

"Although I told you not to be afraid, you can still maintain your rationality and vigilance. This is good, but it also reveals the fact that you come from a big clan of cat people." He saw the deep fear in the kitten girl's eyes.

"Then you're just a rebellious little girl sneaking out of the family range. I think you must be very regretful right now, and no longer feel that your archery is strong enough to protect you." Lin Ke glanced at the cat girl's fingers. The latter quickly hid her hands behind her back, trembling even more.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Since you're from a noble family in the Beastman Empire, then it looks like I'll have to find a chance to send you back. But I can't do it in the short term, why don't you just stay by my side as a maid.

The cat girl's eyes lit up and quickly nodded her head. She then shook her head with great difficulty. When she opened her mouth for the first time, her voice sounded weak like a real kitten, but it was extremely sweet.

"You won't study. It wasn't easy to come to a human country, so you can't not learn some of the eating skills that humans specialize in. Perhaps when you go back, your elders will like the food you cook," Lin Ke smiled and nodded.

"I... I can really go back... Go home? " The kitten girl, Merry, stared at Link with her big eyes, unblinking. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I can," Lin Ke stood up and restrained his smile. "I will definitely make a trip to the Beastman Empire, at that time I will send you home."

Although Cat girl was still unsure, she knew that in the current situation, she had no other choice. For her, not being harmed or violated was the most beautiful thing in the history of human kingdoms. As for being a maid, she knew that it was better than being a slave.

This caused her to feel deep gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Xue Er and Lilisse brought the kitten girl, Melly, out.

They had to make some changes to her dress to cover her conspicuous tail, then they had to buy a veil for her, so the strange cat whiskers were no longer eye-catching. Although this was the War God Empire, they still had to minimize the trouble.

The three men were the only ones left in the room.

"Hey, Cohen, sometimes I really feel like you're like a monster," Phias said as he stared at Lin Ke with a complicated expression. "Hey, Cohen, sometimes I really feel like you're like a monster," Phias said as he stared at Lin Ke with a complicated expression.

"Being able to say these words in front of me is not simple," Lin Ke smiled and glanced at him. "My grandfather once praised your innocence, so your future achievements are limitless. However, we shouldn't flatter each other here, shouldn't we be regretful that we didn't bring a few girls back?"

Feyas' worry disappeared even faster, and when he heard that, he immediately looked at Lin Ke with disdain, "Do you really think I'm a lustful person? Didn't you see that I was acting? "I have disguised myself as a pervert to lower the guard of others against me. Hum, hum, I'm going back to sleep."

Lin Ke smiled as he watched Feyas leave.

After a moment Neil spoke again. "This Fias is not simple."

Lin Ke nodded, "That's right. How can this world have so many hearts of innocence? How can a true heart of innocence live so freely and freely in a family with strong internal competition like Bitter?"

Neil nodded, the corners of his mouth curving up.

After leaving the Azure Flower City, their journey was smooth sailing.

The closer they got to the capital, the more common it was to be like this. Generally speaking, it was suitable for humans to live in, so there were very few large wastelands.

Every village had a tavern that could not be considered very small. On one hand, it satisfied the needs of the travelers, and on the other, it served as a place for the local residents to amuse themselves. The civilians that were left behind weren't young and old. The proportion of young adults wasn't low, which meant that the wargod empire wasn't considered a militarily strong country.

Along the way to Linke's group, there was basically no need to sleep in the wilderness. Although the number of people in the group had indeed increased, the tavern and the common quarters were not that arduous after all, regardless of the value of their money.

Thus, on the morning of the fifth day, after walking for half a day, he saw the city from afar.

Lin Ke could only think of one word.

Unbelievable.

Even though Linke had seen the legendary island in the center of the stormy ocean, he was still deeply shocked by the distant city.

If one were to say that the beauty of the Dark Church's holy land, the sky island, lay in its miraculous beauty, then the beauty of Ares Castle, one of the top ten cities in the entire continent, the imperial capital of the War God Empire, lay in the fact that despite its manpower, its grandeur seemed as if it were real.

It was a mountain.

It was a mountain that suddenly rose up from the middle of an endless plain!

It was a city.

A city built on a mountain within a thick and heavy city wall surrounded by steel!

War God Mountain, Ares Castle.

Rincewind and the young men who had come to Ares for the first time were all stunned. Their hearts were in turmoil, and they could not speak for a long time.

Then, with a complicated expression, he lifted the hat from his cloak and stared into the distance at the long lost city, where he had witnessed the glorious moment when Lynko's grandfather, Rhine, was sealed, and where he had learned the news of the death of the most important woman in his life, Ares Fortress, and he had returned.

After a long while, the gaping Fias turned his head towards Link and stammered, "I, I say, Cohen, don't tell me the walls of Ares are actually made of steel? How much f * cking steel is needed to make it?!" When did our wargod empire have so much resource surplus? This is such a waste! "

The distance was too far and it was impossible to estimate its height, but considering the length of the city walls that surrounded the entire mountain, one could roughly imagine how terrifying of a project it would be if the city walls were all cast out of steel. "It shouldn't be, let alone how extravagant and wasteful a pure steel wall is, I'm afraid that just engineering itself wouldn't be enough, right, Seventh Grandpa?"

"The walls of Ares are not made of pure steel, and they are too far away. When you get closer, you will know that it is not a luxury, but the rumors say that the walls of Ares are made of steel are true."

Because the Great Master who designed the city wall used a series of ingenious ideas and amazing methods to finally melt a large amount of steel into a strange rock fluid, forming a very expensive but extremely hard and durable construction material, called 'rock steel'. Because the rock steel was the most suitable material in the history of the continent to build a city wall, it went through two high and low temperatures during its formation, and then added various kinds of strange materials, which were both tough and tough.

"Steel, magma, constructed from water …" Lin Ke was dumbstruck. After going through an Earth-style education, he actually found it harder to accept this kind of outrageous thing than Feyas and the others. This series of events was unimaginable in his mind, and he once again cast his gaze towards the distant black wall, his eyes filled with anticipation.

There were more and more pedestrians on the wide road. From a distance, one could see the other roads that led directly to the imperial city. There was also an endless stream of pedestrians.

"Eh? What is that? " Donna who hadn't spoken much since Qinghua City suddenly pointed at a huge creature on the road not far away and cried out in alarm.

From behind, it looked even more like an elephant, but even the mammoth elephant of ancient times couldn't have such a body, because judging from the war horses and knights around it, the beast was definitely taller than six meters. If it really looked like an elephant, then its body definitely was more than eight meters.

Even the Lin Ke, who was riding on a big black horse and was' superior to others', would only be half as tall when he was by his side!

A terrifying figure that was like a magical beast!

But it was actually helping to pull the goods?!
