Hail the King

I am just posting this here for my own convenience.

Chapter 551: My Turn

It was that mysterious stone pillar

This stone pillar that was broke in half in the Sky Castle got fixed for some inexplicable reason after Fei used it to purify the stained [Worldstone] . After that, it had been living in Fei's body, but it just wouldn't respond to Fei's calls at all .

However, at this moment when Fei's life was in danger, it lightly shivered .

Due to this shiver, a phenomenon occurred .
It was an incredible power that rushed out of Fei's body .

If Domenech's [Sword of Fire Judgment] was as powerful as the energy of a god, the power emitted by the mysterious stone pillar was like the anger of the king of gods!
No words could describe this terrifying power!

Nothing could stop it!
The huge orange fire sword couldn't do anything to this power! It felt like everything was happening at the reverse! Like a flame that was being blown in the wind, the orange fire sword that was more than 1,000 meters long got smaller and smaller!

"What is this?" Domenech's eyes opened wide .

The energy that appeared in Fei's body even scared him, a Sun-Class Lord . It made him want to kneel and worship .
Even Yassin, his nemesis, didn't bring him this level of suffocating pressure .

In less than 10 seconds, the gigantic orange fire sword disappeared . The sky that was extremely dark in comparison brightened up, and everything was returned to their original forms as if nothing happened .

This insane power that was on the level of the king of gods came sudden and left fast as well .
Fei was stunned, and he lightly opened his hands .

The metal gauntlets already cracked and fell onto the ground, and the durability of [Immortal King's Soul Cage] dropped below three digits, revealing some of Fei's skin through the holes .

However, the black and completed burned skin and limbs on Fei's body were instantly healed by this great energy . His skin was smooth and soft as if he was reborn .

"Such a terrifying power! It is unchallengeable!"

This power came out of Fei's body, so he was able to get a feel for it . As soon as that power appeared, Fei felt like he was the king of the gods! He felt like he was the ruler of the world and could decide on everyone's life .

He could make flowers to blossom, force trees to dry out, and create heaven and hell!

All of that originated from the light shivering of that mysterious stone pillar!
Unfortunately, it seemed like that stone pillar was very cheap . After it saved Fei from death, it wasn't willing to lend Fei any more of its power . It didn't matter how hard Fei tried, it wouldn't respond .

"That… That… You couldn't have that kind of power! How are you capable of obtaining power beyond the realm of mortals?" Domenech dashed away for 100 meters and looked back at Fei with eyes filled with shock .

That power was too mighty!

If he were lightly touched by it, he would be turned into specks of dust .

At that moment, he felt like he sensed his death . Just as he was about to give up and surrender, that unimaginable power suddenly disappeared as if it never existed .
He was shocked, and he stared at Fei, trying to figure something out .

Fei didn't have an expression on his face .

He took out another bottom of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] from his storage ring and poured it into Little Raccoon's mouth .

Soon, this little guy woke up, and it started to squeak after seeing Domenech who was standing not too far away . Its hair and tail stood up, and it looked around anxiously, trying to get Fei to leave this place as soon as possible .

Behind Fei, energy mists were being breathed in and exhaled out by Hazel Bank in a unique manner; it felt like a giant was breathing and affecting the natural elements in the area .
This was a sign showing that the advancement process of becoming a Sun-Class Lord was almost completed .

"No! This isn't your power! Impossible!… . " As he sensed the aura on Hazel Bank, Domenech started to lose patience . As crazy lights appeared in her eyes, he decided to test Fei again .

"I don't believe that you can use that kind of power twice in a row . Take this, [World-Ending Meteor]!"

As loud howling noises sounded, many flames appeared in the air . Then, a spherical meteor that was more than ten meters long in diameter flew down from the sky, targeting Fei and Hazel Bank .

As if this meteor was tearing the sky apart, it left a series of afterimages in the air .

A serious expression appeared on Fei's face; he was already exhausted from the earlier battles .
Although he looked like he could still battle, he was just putting on a show . In fact, he didn't even have the strength to hold onto his weapons, let alone stopping the giant meteor that was coming down from the sky .

A hundred meters…
Fifty meters…

Thirty meters…
Ten meters…

Three meters…

Fei didn't move, and he just stood there and sensed the energy inside the approaching meteor . The wind created by it alone was enough to suffocate him a little .
However, the king had a relieved smile on his face .

Boom!

A surge of grey energy soared into the sky behind Fei .
All the flames were extinguished by this energy instantly, and the meteor that was quickly approaching also got knocked back, disappeared into the sky after a few seconds like the seed of a dandelion .

The danger was finally resolved!

"We would be both smashed into meat pastes if you move any later," Fei said as he calmed down . Since he was now safe, the last bit of strength he had supporting his body was gone, and he fell back into [The Throne of Chaos] after a little stagger .

"It is good that I made it . Now, it is my turn!" Hazel Bank slowly stood up from the ground and waved his hand, taking away all the stealth array formations on the mountain .

Without any energy surge on him, Hazel Bank walked in thin-air, creating a grey magic energy lotus under his feet every time he stood a step . He walked in front of Fei, blocking him and protecting him from Domenech .

Just like how Fei battled Domenech and didn't back off even though he was going to be killed, Hazel Bank was going protect Fei this time .

Although he wasn't able to move and speak during the advancement process, he witnessed what happened .
Honestly, even Hazel Bank himself didn't expect that Fei was willing to die for him, a person who the king met less than a month ago .

Hazel Bank had been around for hundreds of years, but he was stunned and touched like never before!

He was calm and collected on the surface, but he was staring at Domenech with battle-hungriness .

Sensing this, Domenech quickly woke up from the shock that the sudden appearance of that mysterious power brought him .

The wind fluttered his white robe, and he held onto his wand tightly . With a smile on his face, he said, "You advanced a lot faster than I anticipated; you are a genius as well . However, I have been a Sun-Class Lord for more than a year now, and you just advanced . You are still like a child who is learning to walk in my eyes! How dare you challenge me this recklessly?"
"You talk too much!"

The Undead Mage waved his hand as if he was trying to get rid of a fly, and an invisible energy instantly dashed toward Domenech .

Domenech got a little angry at Hazel Bank's disrespectful move .

Boom!

Two completely different energies collided, and energy waves expanded outward, looking as beautiful as a firework .
"Eh… Puff!"

Domenech spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed afterward . With a shocked expression on his face, he turned around and tried to escape without saying anything .

"Too late!"

Hazel Bank already anticipated this, and he waved his hand again emotionlessly .

Whoosh! The world around them changed .

As if an invisible hand spilled a giant bottle of ink in the sky, the bright sky suddenly darkened . Black cloud-like energy dashed out of Hazel Bank's body and expanded outward, and the expansion speed was so fast that it instantly reached Domenech and enveloped him .

"Sun Anomaly? You mastered your Sun Anomaly already?" Domenech screamed desperately .

Fei realized that everything around him changed as if he was now inside another world .

Chapter 552: I'm the God in Here!

The bright sky, huge mountains, and green grasses were now all gone .

The world Fei was in right now was gloomy and isolated . Thick dark clouds were hanging low in the sky, and there was no wind . The atmosphere in here was desperate and sad .

Those alone weren't shocking .

What was shocking was that the ground in this unique world was made from white bones! There were so many bones that the landmass looked endless like an ocean, and there were blue will-o'-the-wisps dancing around, adding more chilliness to the atmosphere .
Suddenly, as if they were commanded by something terrifying, the white bones started to move up and down like the waves in the ocean . The rough and ear-piercing bone-grinding noises sounded, adding more flavor to this dead and isolated world .

Visible streaks of grey mists appeared from the bones, creating numerous images where all kinds of creatures were screaming and howling before their death . The terrifying images could tear people's minds and souls apart, scarring them for the rest of their lives .
The grey mist was undead energy, and this was a world of death .

It was Hazel Bank's Sun Anomaly – [Path of the Grim Reaper] .
Like a true spectator, Fei lied on [The Throne of Chaos] comfortably and took out drinks and delicious dishes from his storage ring . The battle consumed too much of his energy and power, and he had to replenish them . Little Raccoon sat on Fei's lap and smiled as it held a bottle of wine and chewed on roasted meat .

With a set of black armor on him, the Undead Mage stood in the sky like a demon deity .

The red cape fluttered behind him quietly, looking like a pot of boiling blood .
Standing on the ground, Domenech swallowed his saliva and enveloped himself with an energy flame . As he tried to defend against the corrosion of the undead energy, he looked around and observed everything . Soon, he was shocked and desperate .

"You are an undead mage? Who are you? You can become a Sun-Class Lord as an undead mage; you must be infamous!"

Domenech discovered the real energy that his opponent had, and his heart sunk .
"My name is Hazel Bank," the Undead Mage answered .

Domenech felt dizzy .

This name alone was mighty, and it almost instantly obliterated the last line of defense in his mind .

Hazel Bank was a senior elder at the [Undead Shrine], and he was one of the few elders who held a lot of power . Also, he was known as the man who was the closest to the Grim Reaper .

Although the Holy Church in the end crushed the [Undead Shrine], this man in front of him killed many top-tier masters of the Holy Church and escaped intact .

For more than 100 years now, the Holy Church saw him as a nail in its heart and tried to hunt him down . Wanted posters of him were everywhere on the continent .

However, every time he made an appearance, he only brought nightmares to the masters of the Holy Church who were after him .
Top-tier masters like Hazel Bank might have fallen below the Sun-Class due to the injuries over the years . However, once he came back to the realm of Sun-Class, his experience and techniques would allow him to defeat people like Domenech who were relatively inexperienced easily .

"King of Chambord!" Domenech suddenly thought of something and locked his eyes onto Fei . He shouted, "You dare to collude with an undead mage? As a [God's Favorite Child], you dare to…"

"Your words are ruining the feel . We aren't colluding; we are just partnering . Ok? It is just a partnership . On top of that, there is nothing strange about this," Fei laughed as he ate a grape, "Everyone has their secrets . You can kill members of the Holy Church, and I can partner with an undead mage . What is strange about this?"

Domenech was at a loss for words .

"So, I must die today after knowing your secret?" Domenech focused his attention back onto Hazel Bank . He was shocked to hear this name since Hazel Bank was a Sun-Class Lord more than a hundred years ago, but he quickly calmed down somehow with the help of the insane pressure .

Hazel Bank didn't reply, but the murderous spirit in his eyes told Domenech everything .

"Ok! Let me see how powerful the man who is the closest to the Grim Reaper is!" Domenech flew into the air . Orange flames rushed out of his body as if a volcano was erupting, and a huge orange fire sword that was about 800 meters long appeared as he chanted the obscure and mystic spell .

It was clear that Domenech was secretly preparing this spell when he was speaking to Fei and Hazel Bank; his casting speed was a lot faster than before .

"[Sword of Fire Judgment] … Strike!"
A vibration noise sounded, and the huge orange fire sword struck at Hazel Bank with force .

It was this strike that severely injured Fei . If it weren't for the help from that mysterious stone pillar, the king might have been chopped in half . This technique sure was powerful!
However, Hazel Bank didn't even move his eyelid .

Only when the orange fire sword was about to touch his forehead, he lightly reached out his hand . He grasped onto thin air, and a huge white bone sword jumped into his hand from the sea of bones; it was made from numerous pieces of white bones that were of various sizes .
"[Undead Furious Bone Sword] … Strike!"

As Hazel Bank shouted, the white bone sword moved even faster and blocked the orange fire sword before it could touch Hazel Bank's forehead .

Boom!
A loud booming noise sounded after the two swords touched .

[Sword of Fire Judgment] that easily destroyed the set item [Bul-Kathos' Children] couldn't do anything to the white bone sword . It was stopped five centimeters away from Hazel Bank's forehead, and it couldn't move any further .

"You are too weak . "
Hazel Bank shook his head and said .

He raised his arm that was holding the huge white bone sword, and he easily pushed back the orange fire sword inch by inch . Even though Domenech roared and tried to strike down with more force, nothing was changed .

It was like a fight between a child and an adult; it was extremely one-sided .

Soon, the orange fire sword was pushed back by the white bone sword . As a series of crackling noises sounded, the orange fire sword shattered and returned to the pure fire elements before dispersing into the area .

Fei who was watching on [The Throne of Chaos] was shocked by this scene as well . The power Hazel Bank demonstrated was beyond the king's expectation, and the fact that he easily dismantled the ultimate technique of another Sun-Class Lord was impressive .

"Is this the power of undead energy?" Domenech thought to himself as he backed off several meters . There was a streak of blood on his lips .

He was injured by the repulsion force in [Undead Furious Bone Sword], and he got a first-hand feel of the power of undead mages . It seemed like undead energy was a unique energy that was higher in level compared with the five basic elemental energies . No wonder it was said that the undead energy could harm the gods, and the undead mages were cursed and were hunted by the Holy Church .
Just from that encounter alone, Hazel Bank's power made Domenech, who already lost more than half of his Sun-Class Core, feel desperate .

"Something darker than the sunset and tastier than the blood . Fire elements, listen to your servant's wish! Concentrate on my hands… Let's merge our power… I'm willing to use my life energy to ignite the fire god's anger! Burn all the enemies…"

Domenech laughed with a crazy expression on his face .

"Ignite your core? Want to perish together? Too bad that I'm the god in here!" Hazel Bank was experienced, and he knew what Domenech wanted to do . He reached out his hands and started to chant .

The undead energy in this world started to move .
Suddenly, a huge white hand that was made from bones dashed out of the sea of bones and grabbed onto Domenech who was about to unleash his most destructive attack .

Then, more and more hands appeared and grabbed onto him .

Soon, Domenech was wrapped by mountains of bones; the No . 1 Royal Mage of the Leon Empire was constrained entirely in there . Like chains, the white bones connected and locked onto each other, and the undead energy enforced those connections, making the seal even tighter .

In the end, a mountain that was more than 1,000 meters tall was formed .

The ultimate white bone prison!
Bam! Bam!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Soon, a series of loud explosion noises sounded within the bone mountain, and some fire could be seen through the tiny slits between bones .

Domenech self-detonated in there .

Even though the loud explosion shook the bone mountain, it didn't collapse .

Three minutes later, the explosion quieted down, and the dense fire elements started to disperse into the air .

Like a candle that got blown out, Domenech's fire of life was extinguished .

Chapter 553: Little Raccoon's Change

Fei shook his head and sighed as he sensed the dispersing of the fire elements .

Domenech, a mighty Sun-Class Lord, died just like that!

He could have left a significant mark in the history books, he could have grown into one of the most powerful mages on the continent, and he could have become the idol to many other mages . He was capable of so much more!

However, the even more powerful Hazel Bank lightly waved his hand and killed this mage who had limitless potential .
When the explosion happened inside of the white bone mountain, Domenech's legendary path was ended before it could unfold .

This was the law of the jungle!
This was a natural law that made and broke many warriors and mages .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hazel Bank waved his hand, and the undead energy dispersed . Then, the white bones that constructed the mountain started to collapse, and they fell back into the sea of bones like water droplets to the ocean . Then, a few clouds of red mist slowly appeared .

That was the last mark that Domenech left in this world .

After these clouds of red mist disperse, the last bit of evidence that proved Domenech's existence would be gone, and the rest would be history .
Fei lightly exhaled, and he got rid of the mix of emotions on his mind . Then, he felt extremely joyous . Hazel Bank was much stronger than he expected; it was beyond his wildest dreams .

How the Undead Mage easily killed Domenech made Fei wonder who was stronger? Emperor Yassin or Hazel Bank?

This thought only appeared in Fei's head for a second before disappearing .
"Your Majesty!" The Undead Mage dashed to Fei and greeted him; it was a formal greeting that subordinates would use toward a lord .

Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed Fei that he was swearing his 100% loyalty .

What happened a few moments ago was still being replayed in Hazel Bank's mind . The scene, where Fei stood in front of him and protected him despite the deadly danger, ironed itself into his soul . Even if the king didn't have the purest form of undead energy – death energy, he would still swear his loyalty .

"Should we leave the [Path of the Grim Reaper] and find a better place to chat?" Fei had many questions that he wanted to ask the Undead Mage .

Hazel Bank understood the hidden meaning in Fei's words . He thought about it and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry . Sun Anomalies are parallel universes so that they won't leave any marks in the real world . Therefore, no one can detect the undead energy . Although I just returned to the Sun-Class Realm, maintaining the Sun Anomaly won't take too much energy . "

"Eh, sounds good . " Fei nodded .

Fei gave Hazel Bank a quick overview of what happened to him after he entered the level 36 region . He didn't hide the existence of the Sky Castle, but he didn't mention the mysterious stone pillar and the purification of the [Worldstone] . After all, the [Worldstone] connected to Diablo World, the place where Fei's strength and power originated from .
A person should always keep some secrets to himself or herself .

Afterward, Fei told the Undead Mage about what happened in Dual-Flags City .

"That damn Arthur!" Hazel Bank shook his head and said angrily . "In the last few hundred years, Arthur had made several mistakes due to his drinking problem . His bad habit got the best of him again this time . "

Fei laughed, "That is alright . It wasn't that terrible . If Arthur didn't appear, no one would be able to capture [Snow Mountain Hermit] and his son, Tony . "

After he said that, he thought of something else and told Hazel Bank about how Little Raccoon wasn't injured by the heat energy coming from the orange fire sword .
He asked, "Do you know why? This little guy is a little strange . "

"Eh… If I'm not wrong, this little demon beast is a rare mutated creature . It can consume the elemental crystal cores to improve its strength . Your Majesty said that it ate a small piece of Domenech's Sun-Class Core . I think it digested that piece of fire-elemental crystal core and is now immune to fire . "

As Hazel Bank said that, he rubbed his hands all over Little Raccoon's body despite this little creature's resistance such as kicks and bites; he even touched Little Raccoon's private parts . In the end, he didn't find anything that could object to his hypothesis .

With its two front paws covering its private parts, Little Raccoon squeaked and hid behind Fei . With tears in its eyes, it showed its fangs and waved its paws at the Undead Mage .

"Really?" Fei was quite surprised . "Could it be that I really picked up a powerful demon beast? This little guy is this strong?"

After hearing Fei's doubts, Little Raccoon jumped onto Fei's shoulder and bulged the little muscles on its front legs, trying to showcase something and prove itself .

"It is simple to test my hypothesis . "
Hazel Bank opened his hand, and a cloud of grey mist swirled like a mini tornado in the center of his palm . The cloud of grey mist continued to be compressed, and it turned from a gas form into a liquid form before finally turning into a peanut-sized jelly-like grey crystal .

It was the Sun-Class Core of the Undead Mage .
Once Little Raccoon ate this core crystal, they would be able to test it with undead magic spells . Then, they would know for sure if this little creature possessed the mutated innate ability that Hazel Bank was talking about .

Under Fei's gaze, Little Raccoon pinched its nose and ate this tiny Sun-Class Core unwillingly .
It looked like this crystal core wasn't as tasty as Domenech's . This 'picky eater' rolled its eyes and looked disgusted .

Soon, that 'drunkenness' appeared on it .

Pia! Little Raccoon fell onto [The Throne of Chaos], burped, and fell asleep while drooling .
Fei was a little worried .

After he carefully checked its condition and realized that its bodily functions were normal, he calmed down .

Just like how a drunk person needed time to process the alcohol in his body, Little Raccoon needed time to digest that little Sun-Class Core .
In the meantime, Fei and Hazel Bank talked about other topics . The Undead Mage was really curious about the Sky Castle . It was heard that the Continental Martial Saint, Maradona, became as dominant as he was because he entered the Sky Castle once when he was young . Other rumors stated that the Sky Castle was able to move around and travel in the void . It was heard that the Sky Castle had made appearances in other ancient ruins and mysterious forbidden areas .

Soon, Little Raccoon woke up from the 'drunkenness' and opened its eyes .

Hazel Bank pointed his finger, and a white bone blade that wasn't sharp hit Little Raccoon's butt . The Undead Mage controlled his force well, so this blade only lightly touched Little Raccoon .

If ordinary creatures got touched by the white bone blade, their flesh would instantly rot away, leaving behind a skeleton .

However, Little Raccoon wasn't affected; the abundant undead energy didn't do anything to it .

Since its butt was hit, this little guy wasn't pleased . It showed its fang at Hazel Bank as it waved its paws again .

"It looks like I'm not wrong . This is a rare mutated innate ability…" Hazel Bank looked at Little Raccoon with a meaningful expression, and the little guy got scared and hid behind Fei's back with its front paws covering its private parts again .
"Eh, looks like if we can collect all elemental Sun-Class Cores, we can create a little monster that is immune to all magic . Although this little guy is weak, its potential of becoming immune to all magic spells is monstrous . It might be of great use in special situations in the future," Hazel Bank said .

Fei was thinking of the same time .

After verifying Little Raccoon's unique ability, Fei was about to tell Hazel Bank something that he had been pondering for a while .

However, at this moment, the space started to crumble and shake . A powerful force was crushing down at the [Path of the Grim Reaper], and Hazel Bank's Sun-Class Anomaly couldn't hold still anymore . It was about to collapse .

Chapter 554: Got Blocked

"What is going on?" Fei furrowed his brows and asked, "Could it be that someone is attacking the [Path of the Grim Reaper]?"

"It doesn't seem like it," the Undead Mage looked at the cracks that were appearing in the sky and said . After he detected what was happening outside his Sun Anomaly, he stopped trying to maintain the [Path of the Grim Reaper] and explained, "From the look of it, it seems like the time is up . "

Soon, this space started to collapse, and it returned to the grey mist form . The [Path of the Grim Reaper] disappeared from Fei's sight .

Green grasses and blue sky reappeared . The gloominess and the chilliness from Hazel Bank's Sun Anomaly were gone, and the air was refreshing .
There were still marks in the surroundings that were left by the battle between Fei and Domenech .

Dashes of deep sword marks on the grassland, the green liquid from the grasses that looked like the blood of the ground, the deep pits that were created by the meteor shower and still had flames burning in them, and the mountains that were broken and cracked… All of this went to show how destructive and how shocking the battle was .
When Fei and Hazel Bank both returned to the level 36 region, they found that a ton of pressure was being created in this small world . The natural laws that were clear and calm started to become chaotic, and the space behaved like an active stomach, trying to push out all the unwelcomed guests .

Even though Hazel Bank was a mighty Sun-Class Lord, he couldn't resist against this natural pressure .
In contrast, Fei was feeling at ease . [The Throne of Chaos] could fight against this pressure . Whenever the terrifying pressure that Hazel Bank couldn't even deal with pushed against Fei, the throne would release a silver energy, dissolving that pressure four meters away before it could touch Fei .

"Time is up; this small world no longer welcomes us . If we want to come back, we would need to wait for another 20 years for the [Mythical Gate] to reopen . " As Hazel Bank said that, a silver portal appeared in the sky, and the pressure pushed him toward that portal .

As a silver light flashed by, he disappeared from this world .
Fei didn't choose to stay . He moved [The Throne of Chaos] and went into the portal that looked identical to the [Elemental Gates] on the [Elemental Altar] .

At the same time, many identical portals appeared in the small world, and many masters were pushed toward the portal . Some people achieved their goals and were willing to leave, but some people didn't and were reluctant . However, the latter group of people couldn't do anything about it .

"Hahahahah! Finally! I advanced! After being stuck at top-tier New Moon for 50 years, I finally became a Half Moon Elite and gained another 100 years of life! Hahahaha, with my previous accumulation of resources, I should have a smooth cultivation process!" someone cried .
"Damn it! Just a little bit more! Damn! I'm not leaving! Ahhhhhhhh!" someone roared angrily .

"Eh, I finally got a feel of that level of power . This trip to the Mythical Palace is worth it!"

"Snake-Forming Grass, Spider-Pattern Powder, Snow Iron, Tear-Drop Gold… Hahaha! I'm rich now! I collected so many natural treasures . With them, our Jasso Family will be prosperous for another 1,000 years! I need to thank the King of Chambord for this opportunity; our Jasso Family won't forget about this . "

"Fairenton, time is up . You advanced to Moon-Class; it is a good accomplishment . "

"We need to leave now . I want to stay here… If I can stay and cultivate for ten years, I will become a top-tier master on the continent . Too bad…"

People with different mindsets went through the portals and disappeared from this world .

After the last person got kicked out, this small world returned to its quietness and peacefulness .
It was waiting for another group of lucky masters to arrive in 20 years .

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After the feeling of traveling through a temporal and spatial tunnel was gone, Fei's eyes lit up as he stood on the [Elemental Altar] in the level 34 region .

Fei decided to stay stealth using the power of [The Throne of Chaos] as soon as he got out of the core region, and no one discovered his existence .
At the moment, quite a few people were standing on the altar .

There were people such as Emperor Yassin and his guards, the Royal Master of Jax and his group, and Crown Prince Girano of St . Germain and his maids . They were all the lucky people who got the enter the core region .
However, their expressions looked concerning .

"What is going on?" Fei thought as he looked down the altar, and he was a little surprised .
More than 100 people were crowding around the altar, and they were unleashing their warrior energy and magic energy . They were all staring at the people on the altar silently, and their eyes showed their envy, greed, and murderous intents .

These people were the ones who didn't get to enter the core region .

Some of them weren't strong enough to get a spot on the [Elemental Altar], and some of them arrived late despite their strong power .
There were more of them, and they surrounded the altar .

Fei frowned lightly; he knew what was going to happen .

Murders and robberies!
There were a ton of treasures in the core region . As long as you were willing to bend your back and reach out your hand, you would be able to get a ton of rare herbs . These people who were inside the core region for several days all had treasures on them, and they were at the center of the attention as if they were billionaires with expensive pieces of jewelry all over them .

Although the masters around the altar weren't lucky enough to enter the level 36 region, they were able to kill and rob the masters who were .

In this world that was ruled by the law of the jungle, only the most powerful people could enjoy the most precious treasures .

Strength was the only way to obtain respect .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, people who entered the core region all appeared on the [Elemental Altar] .

The atmosphere got tensed up, and the pressure was nerve-wracking .
The masters around the altar were looking at the masters on the altar recklessly and greedily; they looked like snakes and jackals who were observing their preys . Their stares were especially murderous when they saw the few weaker masters on the altar .

Fei was in stealth, and no one discovered .

In the beginning, he was worried that [The Throne of Chaos] might not be able to hide from top geniuses like Emperor Yassin . He was very cautious, and even Little Raccoon covered its mouth with its paws, trying not to make a sound .

After Fei carefully ran a few tests, he discovered that the stealth ability of [The Throne of Chaos] was beyond his imagination! Even if he roared and sang a song, the masters here wouldn't be able to detect him .

Fei started to look around casually after making that finding .
He still couldn't see through Emperor Yassin .

Like a bottomless abyss, one couldn't tell how powerful this emperor was; he was on another level . However, his two guards made progress; they were now both level 9 mid-tier Half Moon Elites .

The Royal Master of Jax, who was friendly toward Fei, improved in strength . Fei estimated that this man was probably somewhere around level 1 top-tier Full Moon . Beside him, his quiet guard was now mid-tier Half Moon .

Prince Fairenton of Jax, who was only an Eight-Star Warrior before coming here, was now a level 3 low-tier New Moon Elite; it was a huge jump . Standing next to him, Modoc also experienced a big leap in strength; he was a level 4 low-tier New Moon Elite before, and now he was a level 7 mid-tier New Moon Elite .

Standing on the outer edge of the altar, there was Crown Prince Girano of St . Germain and his four maids .
Girano jumped from level 7 mid-tier New Moon to level 5 low-tier Half Moon, and his four beautiful maids were now all between level 1 to level 2 mid-tier New Moon . These five people's levels increased the fastest, and it was genuinely shocking .

Fei guessed that Girano held more secrets .

The elderly masters who were brought into the small world by Fei all got something out of it and experienced an increase in their strengths . However, the increase in their strengths was insignificant compared with people like Girano; they were now all top-tier New Moon Elites .

These people were relatively weaker, and they were the prime targets for the masters standing around the altar .

"Kill them! Kill them all! Let's go! They have numerous treasures on them! I even smell the fragrance of precious spiritual herbs! Hahaha! There are more of us! There is nothing to be afraid of!"

Someone shouted around the altar, and the spark ignited the fire .

Chapter 555: Fei's Move

This person was hidden amongst the crowd, and he didn't show his face . He changed his positions and continued to stir up everyone's emotion . His intent was genuinely vicious .

However, his dirty trick was very useful in this situation when the atmosphere was intense .

Many people were blind by greed, and adrenaline was rushing into their heads; all of them were extremely anxious . Like firewood with gasoline on it, they were easily triggered by the simple provocation .

A few people couldn't hold back their emotions and made moves .

"Hand out your treasures…"

"Hahahah! Die!"

As they laughed viciously, their energies dashed toward the few elderly warriors who were weaker . It was easier to kill them, so they were the targets for everyone .

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Humph!"

This light snort shocked everyone; they felt like a hammer beat their hearts .

The blue figure on the [Elemental Altar] made a move unexpectedly . It was Emperor Yassin .

The people who just jumped onto the altar didn't have time to react . They were hit by an invisible energy; before they could even scream, booming noises sounded, and these people exploded like fireworks in the sky . Blood mists were everywhere, and broken limbs and torn flesh flew in every direction .

This sudden change shocked everyone who was there .

"Damn it! He is a murderer! Damn it, how vicious! What are we waiting for? Let's kill this devil and take his treasures; we don't need to fight such a monster in a one vs . one battle!"

The person who stirred up the crowd shouted again . He continued to move around, making it hard to spot where he was .

Whoosh!

Emperor Yassin pointed his finger, and a dash of golden sword energy shot out of the altar .

"Ah!" a scream sounded, and that voice stopped .

A mid-aged man, who was thin and had small eyes, covered his throat with both of his hands . As a series of dry coughs sounded, he fell back onto the ground unwillingly and died .

Emperor Yassin was one of the most powerful people here, and he instantly spotted the person who was stirring up the crowd .

The power and domination Emperor Yassin showed stunned almost everyone around the altar . They looked at each other and didn't dare to create a commotion .

When Empire Yassin glanced at them, they felt like their faces were being carved by a blade . No one dared to look back at him, and they all lowered their heads .

"This is within the territory of Zenit! Anyone who dares to create chaos shall be killed!"

The cold words and overbearing tone turned the entire area silent; no one dared to object him .

Although most of the people didn't know who this blue-haired mid-age man was, Emperor Yassin's domineering presence made the people, who wanted to commit indecent acts in the chaos, feel like they were standing in a freezer . They had to suppress their greed and wait .

"Let's go!" After stunning everyone, Emperor Yassin didn't plan to stay . With his two guards behind him, he walked down the [Elemental Altar] and toward the exit .

The people in his way all moved aside as if he was as terrifying as the most poisonous snake or scorpion .

Before he was about to disappear into afar, Emperor Yassin who had been walking forward calmly turned around as if he thought of something . He looked at Hazel Bank who was wearing the Hello Kitty mask and asked, "Was it you who killed Domenech?"

A hint of battle-hungriness appeared in his eyes .

Since the small world already closed, the people who didn't come out were all killed in there .

Domenech still didn't appear, and it told everyone else that he was killed .

Domenech still didn't appear, and it told everyone else that he was killed .

Out of everyone who was inside the small world, the only person who had the ability to kill Domenech was this mysterious man with the mask on his face . From him, Emperor Yassin sensed an aura that only belonged to Sun-Class Lords .

Hazel Bank nodded .

"Ok . Today isn't convenient for me . I look forward to battling you in the future . " Emperor Yassin nodded back .

He didn't expect that someone would jump out midway and kill Domenech; it ruined his plans . Although Hazel Bank didn't kill Domenech to mess with him, Emperor Yassin was proud, and he saw this as a challenge . Therefore, this small incident meant that there was going to be a battle between them .

However, since Hazel Bank had a powerful aura around him, even Emperor Yassin wasn't 100% sure if he could defeat this man . In addition, he had more things to do at the moment .

Therefore, that fight had to be delayed .

"I look forward to it as well," Hazel Bank replied calmly, not showing any fear .

After a snort, Emperor Yassin asked again, "Where is Alexander?"

In his opinion, the King of Chambord was powerful and lucky enough to survive in the small world . Therefore, he was curious when he didn't see this talented warrior who was the leading person of the new generation at Zenit .

"He left long ago," Hazel Bank replied lightly .

"Huh? Interesting…" Emperor Yassin was a little surprised . Then, he smiled and thought of something as he left with the guards .

People only let go of their breath they were holding in after Emperor Yassin disappeared into afar and his sharp metal-elemental warrior energy couldn't be detected anymore . The terrifying sensation they were feeling finally left them .

In the next moment, the atmosphere in the area got intense again .

Without the pressure from Emperor Yassin, the greedy and sinister thoughts appeared in the minds of people who were around the altar again . Although Emperor Yassin threatened everyone and warned them not to make trouble, he was gone now . One phrase from him couldn't hold these people back . After all, the people on the altar all had treasures with them!

Without the pressure from Emperor Yassin, the greedy and sinister thoughts appeared in the minds of people who were around the altar again . Although Emperor Yassin threatened everyone and warned them not to make trouble, he was gone now . One phrase from him couldn't hold these people back . After all, the people on the altar all had treasures with them!

Whoosh!

The Royal Master of Jax raised his arm, and the [Sand of Earthly Anger] appeared above his group of four people . The orange energy enveloped him, his guard, Fairenton, and Modoc . Without a word, they walked down the [Elemental Altar] .

"Semi-god-tier combat weapon?" someone shouted .

Through the unique aura and pressure of a semi-god-tier combat weapon, someone recognized the danger hidden in this sand grain that was about the size of a fist, and everyone backed off .

The combination of a Full Moon Elite and a semi-god-tier combat weapon could defeat anyone under the realm of Sun-Class, and the pure numbers advantage wouldn't work .

Therefore, the group of Jax left safely .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Crown Prince Girano of St . Germain, who was exceptionally handsome, also didn't try to stay around . He waved his [Black Crystal Wand], and a cloud of black mist enveloped himself and his four maids . They flew 20 meters into the air and dashed toward the level 33 region…

"Another semi-god-tier combat weapon?"

The masters around the [Elemental Altar] all drooled, and they felt like their throats were a bit dry . They didn't dare to stop these people, and they had to watch them leave .

Now, the only people on the [Elemental Altar] were the Undead Mage and the seven elderly warriors who got into the small world because of Fei and Hazel Bank .

From what Emperor Yassin said, they knew that Hazel Bank was way too powerful for them to handle .

"This person can make that mysterious master concerned? We can't win against him!"

Therefore, the seven elderly warriors, who weren't the strongest and didn't have semi-god-tier combat weapons, were the lamb in the eyes of the 'wolves' .

"You seven! Hand over the treasures! I can promise you that we will let you leave here alive . " A Half Moon Elite jumped out and pointed at the seven elderly warriors as he said with greed .

"Old b*stards! What are you waiting for? Leave your treasures and get the f*ck out! Do you want to die?" Another master stepped forward and threatened .

"You seven! Hand over the treasures! I can promise you that we will let you leave here alive . " A Half Moon Elite jumped out and pointed at the seven elderly warriors as he said with greed .

"Old b*stards! What are you waiting for? Leave your treasures and get the f*ck out! Do you want to die?" Another master stepped forward and threatened .

Gradually, more and more masters stepped onto the [Elemental Altar] and threatened them .

Since they chose to block off the pathway for people who just came out of the core region, most of them weren't friendly and kind people; they were all planning to commit robbery . If it weren't for Emperor Yassin's overbearing attitude, corpses would have pilled on top of each other already .

These people had to watch more than ten people leave, and their greed and murderous spirits couldn't be held back at this moment .

"You…" the elderly warriors were livid as their bodies started to shake, but they couldn't do anything about it .

Although they achieved breakthroughs in the small world, they couldn't fight against so many people .

Some elderly warriors tried to negotiate with these people; they were willing to hand over some treasures, but they wanted to keep some spiritual herbs for themselves to lengthen their lifespan .

"No! Hand over all of them! If you dare to hide a single treasure from us, you will be killed!"

"Why are we even talking to them? Kill them all! That way, all of their treasures would be ours!"

"Ok, let's kill them!"

As murderous spirits surged, some people were planning to attack .

Fei, who was hiding in the area, lightly shook his head and sighed . He brought these elderly warriors into the small world because of his sympathy, but he didn't expect that they would be in life-threatening danger because of it . It wasn't a scene that Fei wanted to see .

"Fine, since I indirectly placed them in this situation, I will help them once more," Fei thought .

[The Throne of Chaos] emitted dashes of silver energies, and it appeared on the [Elemental Altar] with Fei, blocking the greedy and vicious masters from the seven elderly warriors .

Chapter 555: Fei's Move .

This person was hidden amongst the crowd, and he didn't show his face . He changed his positions and continued to stir up everyone's emotion . His intent was genuinely vicious

However, his dirty trick was very useful in this situation when the atmosphere was intense

Many people were blind by greed, and adrenaline was rushing into their heads; all of them were extremely anxious . Like firewood with gasoline on it, they were easily triggered by the simple provocation

A few people couldn't hold back their emotions and made moves

"Hand out your treasures…".

"Hahahah! Die!".

As they laughed viciously, their energies dashed toward the few elderly warriors who were weaker . It was easier to kill them, so they were the targets for everyone

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Humph!".

This light snort shocked everyone; they felt like a hammer beat their hearts

Although Emperor Yassin threatened everyone and warned them not to make trouble, he was gone now . One phrase from him couldn't hold these people back . After all, the people on the altar all had treasures with them!.

Whoosh!.

The Royal Master of Jax raised his arm, and the [Sand of Earthly Anger] appeared above his group of four people . The orange energy enveloped him, his guard, Fairenton, and Modoc . Without a word, they walked down the [Elemental Altar]

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!.

Crown Prince Girano of St . Germain, who was exceptionally handsome, also didn't try to stay around . He waved his [Black Crystal Wand], and a cloud of black mist enveloped himself and his four maids . They flew 20 meters into the air and dashed toward the level 33 region….

"Another semi-god-tier combat weapon?".

The masters around the [Elemental Altar] all drooled, and they felt like their throats were a bit dry . They didn't dare to stop these people, and they had to watch them leave

Now, the only people on the [Elemental Altar] were the Undead Mage and the seven elderly warriors who got into the small world because of Fei and Hazel Bank

"Fine, since I indirectly placed them in this situation, I will help them once more," Fei thought

[The Throne of Chaos] emitted dashes of silver energies, and it appeared on the [Elemental Altar] with Fei, blocking the greedy and vicious masters from the seven elderly warriors

Chapter 556: Domination

This sudden change shocked everyone .

When the beautiful ripples appeared in the area, the people who were about to attack temporarily stopped their actions .

A huge beautiful and prestigious silver throne slowly appeared out of nowhere, and a handsome young man was sitting on this majestic throne . Although no warrior energy surge or magic energy surge could be sensed from him, others felt like he was mighty and dangerous .

On his shoulder, there was a rare treasure-seeking beast . It didn't have any combat ability and was kind of chubby, but it was looking at the people around the altar with a gloating expression on its face .

Fei's sudden appearance made the atmosphere strange .

"Who… are you?"

That top-tier Half Moon Elite carefully observed Fei and asked after he didn't sense any real danger .

"Ah! It is the King of Chambord! King Alexander, His Majesty!"

Before Fei could reply, the elderly warriors already recognized him, and they cheered as if their savior were here .

Sitting on the throne in mid-air, Fei nodded at them .

These elderly warriors all had good morals, and they were able to withhold their greed and let Fei get the treasures first in the level 36 region . Therefore, Fei had good impressions of them, and getting relationships established with them wasn't a bad idea .

"Leave one-third of your collections to them, and you guys can go," Fei smiled and said to the seven elderly warriors . Rather than leaving the people around the altar with no hope, he chose an option that was somewhat in the middle .

"As you wish! We will listen to you!" the seven elderly warriors agreed joyously; being able to keep two-thirds of what they got from the core region was already great enough .

However, others weren't happy with Fei's solution .

"Hehehe, who do you think you are? How dare you get involved with this? I say no to that! Leave all of what you have!"

"Hahaha! Yeah! Kid, f*ck off! You need to go back and drink some milk, not sit on a crappy throne and pretend to be a master! I think you want to die! F*ck off!"

"Wait, let him stay . I think his throne is a treasure as well . Hehe, maybe he has more treasures on him!"

"Humph! Ridiculous! Are you trying to be the boss in front of us? Punk! Don't even try to leave now!"

The masters who were blind by greed felt the adrenaline rush, and their eyes were almost bright red . Most of them were used to this lifestyle, and they weren't going to turn around and let go of these seven elderly warriors when they had great treasures on them . Also, some of the more vicious ones even tried to kill Fei .

"Die!"

The master in the lead sneered and dashed at Fei . Net-shaped blue energy rushed toward Fei; this man was trying to kill Fei with his ultimate technique right away!

"Ah! Why is that only blood and death will wake you up?"

Fei frowned and instantly disappeared before the blue energy could touch him .

"This… no!" This attacker was surprised .

Before he could react, he sensed an indefensible energy coming toward him from the back, and crackling noises sounded . His spine broke, and his vision darkened . Like an overblown balloon, his body popped, and flesh flew in all directions .

Instant kill!

Whoosh! Fei lightly blew off the blood on his fist .

When he disappeared in front of that master, he instantly appeared behind him . The insane strength of the Nightmare Mode Barbarian unleashed, and it obliterated this opponent . Fei didn't show any mercy this time .

When Fei used all his strength, even the Sun-Class Lord Domenech suffered, let alone this Moon-Class Elite .

"Hiss!"

Many masters gasped, and shock couldn't be hidden from their faces .

"Killing a top-tier Half Moon Elite with only one strike?"

Everyone here today knew that they couldn't do the same .

Now, they knew that this young man, who had no warrior energy surge or magic energy surge on him, was actually an insanely powerful and ruthless person .

Some of them started to swallow their saliva and slowly backed off .

They were all stunned by Fei's shocking strike .

"Let's go! There is only one of him! Can he kill us all?" Someone hidden in the crowd tried to stir up the masters .

"Yeah, I don't think he could stop all of us! Let's go and kill these seven old men! We will be rich even if we can only get one 1,000-year-old spiritual herb!" There was more than one person who tried to create a commotion .

The situation that Fei stabilized started to get out of hand again .

After all, the world wasn't short on reckless 'gamblers' .

"Humph! You think I don't dare to kill you all?" Fei's tone got cold .

In the next moment, Fei and [The Throne of Chaos] disappeared . Then, a series of afterimages appeared in the crowd . Even though these masters were all influential people in the outside world, they couldn't catch Fei's trajectory and movement patterns .
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

As these masters were terrified, many muffled noises sounded, and clouds of blood mist appeared .
The people who tried to stir up the crowd were all killed without exception, and they were turned into pieces; none of them had the ability to fight back .

Terrifying!
Shocking!

Invincible!

An unstoppable chill ran up everyone's spine, and they felt like they were all in a freezer .
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a few seconds of pause, people started to back off as a group .

Like a flock of scared birds, they all rushed back as they looked at Fei as if he was a demon .
"AHHH! Demon! He is a demon! The Grim Reaper! God, save us!"

After a moment of silence, a pale-faced young man couldn't stand it anymore . He suddenly screamed and ran off . The bloody scenes terrified him, and he experienced a mental collapse .

Then, more than a dozen people ran off as well; they didn't dare to look at Fei, and they escaped without a word .

"Ok, is there anyone else who doesn't agree with my plan?" Fei questioned the crowd after killing the troublemakers .

The king now had complete control of the situation .

As his voice resonated in the area, no one dared to disagree anymore . The masters lowered their heads timidly, not showing their viciousness anymore . It felt like they turned from wolves into sheep, and they all showed their willingness to listen to Fei .

With Fei's current plan, they would at least get something; it was much better than seeking their own death .
The seven elderly warriors on the [Elemental Altar] were so excited that their bodies started to shake . They all listened to Fei's words, took out one-third of their collections, and placed them on the ground .

Instantly, the aroma and fragrance of spiritual herbs filled the air .

There were many precious and rare herbs, and lights shone around them . Their thick fragrance even covered the intense smell of blood .

The seventyish masters around the altar all drooled, and their eyes almost popped out of their eye sockets .

Some of these herbs could lengthen lifespans, some of them were the main ingredients in godly elixirs, some of them could enhance warrior energy and magic energy, some of them could cure obscure illnesses, and some of them could heal all kinds of injuries .
Also, the rare metals and powders from the core region could be used to forge top-tier combat weapons and even semi-god-tier combat weapons! They were all very expensive!

The crowd got heated, and some people started to get impulsive again .

However, since Fei was here, no one dared to cause more trouble .

Fei sat on [The Throne of Chaos] comfortably and looked around, distributing the rare materials, herbs, and treasures into people's hands according to their different elemental warrior and magic energies .

No one dared to disrupt this process .
"Your Majesty… Your Majesty, my master is dying due to his age, and I'm here to find him a Sub-Wild Grass to extend his life . Can I trade this rare 1,000-year-old water-elemental herb for a Sub-Wild Grass?" a man in his forties asked sincerely after some hesitation . He was a low-tier Half Moon Elite, and he was wearing a rough cloak and looked unflinching .

"Sure . " Fei waved his hand, and a Sub-Wild Grass on the altar flew into this man's hand and switched out the herb he had .

"Thank you! Thank you very much! God bless you, Your Majesty!" This man thanked Fei earnestly .

After seeing this, the masters who didn't dare to speak started to tell Fei what they needed timidly; what Fei distributed to them weren't exactly what they currently wanted or needed .

Fei listened to them and switched the items they got patiently, trying to satisfy them all . At this moment, he displayed a level of patience that was rare to see on people .

Hazel Bank just watched from the side . He wanted to help the king, but he stopped mid-way after seeing that the king got it under control . He felt like this young man could always come up with innovative solutions that could achieve the best results .

Chapter 557: Time to Go

An hour later, most of the masters in the area got what they wanted after Fei acted as the moderator and switched up the items .

In the beginning, they were resentful toward Fei for ruining their business . But now, they were all happy since most of them got what they wanted . They thanked Fei and left the Mythical Palace happily .

Of course, some of them were going to kill each other for the treasures after they get out of this place, but that was out of Fei's control .

One thing for sure was that the King of Chambord was going to be known in the circle of masters starting now!
Perhaps not for long, even normal people would know that a handsome young king who was invincible and tactical was creating his own legend in the northern region of Azeroth .

Soon, only Fei, Hazel Bank, and the other seven elderly warriors were left on the altar .
"You guys can come with me . The core region is closed, and the rest of the 34 regions will be closing soon . It is time to go . Eh, it is not too safe on the way back . Since we are all going back to Dual-Flags City, I can protect you guys on the way . "

Fei waved his hand, and [The Throne of Chaos] floated one meter above the ground and dashed toward the level 33 region .
"Ah, thank you… . Your Majesty!" the seven elderly warriors all thanked him . They were worried that some greedy and vicious masters might ambush them, and they were all thrilled after hearing what Fei said .

On the way back, there were some masters who hid in the structures beside the streets .

There were more than a dozen people hidden around with murderous spirits on them .
However, these guys were disappointed when they saw Fei beside the seven elderly warriors . They knew that they couldn't handle the king, so none of them were stupid enough to show themselves .

Therefore, Fei and his crew quickly left through the [Mythical Gate] and returned to the underground ocean . In less than ten minutes, they returned to Dual-Flags City by traveling through the water wells .

The sun never seemed so lovely in these seven elderly warriors' eyes, and even the chilly wind wasn't that bad anymore .
"Ah! We came out of there alive!" the seven of them sighed .

If they didn't encounter Fei, their savior, they might not even get the chance to enter that small world .

They were all old and on the verge of death . Before coming here, they already accepted the fact that they might die in another place far away from their families .

They traveled for more than tens of thousands of kilometers to come here to try out their luck, and Fei's generosity turned their lives around, giving them a second opportunity .

"In order to show our gratitude, please allow us to give half of our collections to you!" the most senior warrior among the seven elderly warriors bowed at Fei and said emotionally .

"Yeah, Your Majesty! Please accept our goodwill; this is the only way that we could come up with to show our gratitude . "

"That is right . We are far from you in terms of talent and strength, but our families are still somewhat influential in the region . If Your Majesty needs anything, our Jassuo Family will try our best to help out!"
The elderly warriors all took out half of their collections from their storages spaces, and they also took out their families' badges to give to Fei as tokens and keepsakes .

Fei didn't refuse .

After some consideration, he took a few precious herbs and rare metals . Since the king had [The Throne of Chaos], he could come and go from the core region of the Mythical Palace and get anything he wanted .

Then, he took the badges as they might be helpful in the future .

After some discussion, the seven elderly warriors decided to stay in Dual-Flags City for now .
After they settled down, they would send back messengers to their families and wait for their family forces to come and guard them back .

Since they had treasures on them, their way home wouldn't be peaceful . They might be robbed, and Fei couldn't protect them along the way .

Fei and Hazel Bank didn't return to the new palace after saying farewell to the seven elderly warriors; instead, they slowly walked on the road beside the water wells .

Both of them were powerful and had control over some fundamental natural laws, and the people walking by them couldn't hear their voices and didn't pay any attention to them .

"Your Majesty, do you have something that you want to tell me?" Hazel Bank asked after they walked together for a while .
He knew that the king wanted to talk to him about something .

Fei nodded .

"There is one thing that I need to discuss with you…" Fei told Hazel Bank about his encounter with the Black-Cloth Shrine and Batistuta . In the end, he said, "Right Deacon Batistuta invited me to join their shrine, and he is still waiting for my response in the city . I want to hear your opinion before I make any decision . "

"I'm sure you already made the decision, right?" the Undead Mage smiled and said meaningfully .

Fei didn't try to hide it, so he said, "You are right; I already have some basic ideas . However, yours and Arthur's opinions are important to me as well . After all, we met first before the Black-Cloth Shrine, and there needs to be an order…"

"I already promised Your Majesty that Arthur and I would follow your directions unconditionally," Hazel Bank said firmly as he looked at the blue sky, "Putting everything else aside, I also think that joining the Black-Cloth Shrine is a good option for Your Majesty, Angela Her Highness, and Chambord… If Your Majesty wants to start implementing that plan you told me about in the Death Ancient City, starting within the Holy Church might not be a bad idea . "

"So, you actually don't mind me joining the Black-Cloth Shrine?" Fei was quite surprised by Hazel Bank's response . "To be honest, I thought your hatred toward the Holy Church would make you sensitive about this topic . "

"Hehehe, I'm more than 400 years old, and I have been through a lot . I can overlook the matters on the surface and see the underlying principles," Hazel Bank paused before continuing, "Actually, I'm more interested in Your Majesty's way of thinking . If I don't know your age, I would think that you have lived for many years as well . Many of your ideas can only be understood by people who have lived through life . "
Fei smiled and didn't say anything .

Hazel Bank's instinct was genuinely accurate .
Fei had once lived on Earth, and his value system and belief system were formed there . Therefore, he was quite different from the people in this world, and saying that he had lived for many years wasn't an overstatement .

After getting the yes from the Undead Mage, Fei had no other worries . He exhaled deeply and felt a lot more at ease .
They separated afterward .

Hazel Bank wanted to wander around the city alone and feel the lives of ordinary people; also, he wanted to find the Undead Bone Dragon who had been drunk for many days now .

Fei, on the other hand, went to the watchtower on the west gate .
…

"Huh? The enemies of Jax are retreating?" Before Fei could grab a set, Ribry rushed over to give him the newest report .

"That's right! We had noticed strange behaviors of the soldiers of Jax three days ago, and our scouts had been monitoring them . This morning, they reported that the troops of Jax had secretly retreated before midnight last night, and they left an empty campsite!" Ribry told Fei as he handed over an official report .
Ribry was quite surprised by the retreat of the enemies .

At this moment, the good news from Spartax Battle Zone and Eindhoven Battle Zone weren't delivered to Jax Battle Zone yet, so the generals didn't know why .

"Eh, looks like this war is finally over . " Fei thought as he lightly knocked the table with his finger rhythmically .

As Zenit's God of War, Arshavin, shone on the battlefield, he conquered the Spartax Empire, the nemesis of Zenit . Then, without its Emperor Kromkamp, the Eindhoven Empire was almost conquered with only its Capital still resisting . The wars between Zenit and the other three level 1 empires, Spartax, Eindhoven, and Jax, were about to be over . Zenit, the ferocious white bear, had complete control of the battle zones in the south and southwest .

The Jax Empire probably received news from the other battle zones, and they decided to back off after some calculations .

It was clear that with the strong return of Emperor Yassin who was rumored to be dying and the dominating power Zenit showcased in the other two battle zones, the Zenit Empire could potentially become a level 2 or even a level 3 empire!

However, how long could this all last?
Would there be another more vicious battle after this temporary victory?

Would the most powerful empire in the region, the Leon Empire, allow Zenit to exist and grow despite the threats?

Fei suddenly laughed and shook his head .

"I'm overthinking this . I will just leave these issues to the royal family and Emperor Yassin . What I need to do now is to bring the soldiers and warriors of Chambord back home . We have left our home for so long, and it is time to see the Chambord Castle after the renovation and reconstruction!"

Chapter 558: Stories on The Way Back

-Three days later-

The cold winter had passed by, and the feeling of spring was spreading on the northern land .

This was a region where there were quite a few hills .

The yellow and dry grasses started to get a faint of greenness in them, and it was quite refreshing .
The wind wasn't that dry anymore; instead, it was a little humid .

Suddenly, a flag that had an image of a two-headed dog which bit onto an ax and a blade on it appeared in a valley . The spring wind fluttered this strange-looking yet majestic flag, and it looked like a black dragon that was trying to break away .
Then, the muscular cavalier who was holding the flag appeared .

This man was huge, and he was riding a level 4 roaring flame beast that was howling . Its eyes were bloody-red, and its teeth were sharp . The red hair on its body lightly concealed the shiny scales under it, and flames could be seen around its hooves . When it ran, it looked like it was flying on top of red clouds .
After the cavalier made an appearance, a team of more than 300 cavaliers appeared .

There were 20 other cavaliers who were just as muscular and big as the first cavalier, and they were also riding level 4 roaring flame beast . They were in a V-shape formation, and they protected the cavaliers on horses in the center .

Closer to the front of the team, there was a giant black beast that was more than six meters tall and about 16 meters long from head to tail walking with them .
On the back of this huge dragon-like beast, there was a majestic silver throne with statues of warriors and goddesses around it . A handsome young man was sitting on the throne, and he had a beautiful black-haired girl in his arms . As a small animal danced in front of them, this young man leaned over to the girl and whispered something into her ear, making she giggle continuously .

The chubby raccoon-like animal was wearing a grass skirt, and it was wriggling its butt and hula dancing unwillingly .

Three huge beasts that were more than 10 meters long flew in the sky . They were red, blue, and green, and they were letting out cheerful cries as they enjoyed the wind . Their voices contained a little pressure and holiness, and the animals in the forests all shivered and fled at the sound of them
It was clear that this was Chambord's troop .

After the war in the Jax Battle Zone was over, they were finally on their way home after leaving the Chambord Kingdom for about five months .

"Angela, tell those three little over-energetic idiots to quiet it down . If they continue, our horses will be terrified and have mental issues," Fei said to Angela .

Sitting on [The Throne of Chaos] that was temporarily set on Blacky's back, Fei raised his head and looked at the three small dragons in the sky . Then, he turned around and looked at the war horses that were so terrified that white foams came out of their mouths .

There had been more than a dozen horses that were experiencing mental issues because of the three dragons' irregular roars .

That was right! Three dragons!

When Hazel Bank saw the three creatures three days ago, he also screamed . As someone who had been around for more than 400 years, he instantly identified them as dragons that had been extinct on the continent . So far, they only made appearances in the stories told by the traveling poets .
This information shocked the king at first, but he was soon thrilled .

"Who knew that the three stone eggs I bought from an old man who was shivering in the cold could give life to these three dragons! I only paid a few hundred gold coins! Dragon! Dragons! Hahaha, after Thug, Chick, and Hooligan grow up, I can train them and create three dragon knights, right?"

"Wait, isn't Chick a female dragon? If Chick could mate with Thug or Hooligan, they could create a bunch of little dragons . Eh, but are they siblings? I hope not…" the king thought to himself, and he felt like his idea was too much . Therefore, he had to give up the idea of creating hundreds of dragon knights .

"They just learned how to fly, and they want to have more fun," Angela replied as she covered her snickering with her hand . Then, she waved at the sky .

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three dragons flew down . However, since their landing skills weren't that good, they smashed onto the ground . Three deep pits were created, and clouds of dust appeared .

This kind of smashes was nothing to these three, and they weren't injured at all . They crawled out of the pits and all squatted down, reaching out their front limbs and sticking out their tongues . With their tails wriggling, they looked like three big dogs that were begging for treats .

Fei covered his eyes; he was at a loss for words .

Having no parents, they learned everything from Blacky, and they were behaving just like dogs . They didn't seem like dominating dragons at all .

Angela took out four low-tier magic gems, and she threw them into the air . One magic gem fell into Thug, Chick, and Hooligan's mouths each, and Blacky stuck out its tongue and licked away the last one .

These four creatures didn't know how expensive it was to feed them, and they chewed on the magic gems like delicious bones .

Fei's heart was bleeding .
In the last few days, the number of magic gems entered their stomachs was enough to create at least ten three-star mages .

It was such a luxury to feed pets with magic gems, and it could be considered a crime .
In order to fully activate [The Throne of Chaos], Cain used up all of the magic gems Fei accumulated, and Fei turned from a millionaire into a broke man . Therefore, he had to create a few top-tier magic gems using Horadric Cube, and he converted them into about 10,000 low-tier magic gems to keep up with the spending .

However, these four beasts almost ate all the low-tier magic gems these days .
In the end, the energy and investment didn't go to waste .

After eating the magic gems, the three dragons' body sizes increased a lot . Their strengths were comparable to New Moon Elites, and they were almost the top fighters in Chambord .

Blacky, on the other hand, could now spit fire after consuming many magic gems . Under the empowerment of [Hulk Potion] and the magic gems, this dog was evolving in an unknown direction .
After eating, the three dragons followed Blacky as they stuck out their tongues and wriggled their tails .

"The sun is about to set . There is a lake in the front, and we can camp here tonight…" Fei waved his hand and called over Torres . "Fernando, pass my order to set up the camp . "

"As you wish!"
…

The night quickly enveloped the world .

Even though it was already spring, the night was still cold .

However, compared with the chilliness in the desert, it was a lot better .

There were still ice pieces flowing on the lake, and the surface of the lake reflected the campfires and the people around it .

Not too far away, Blacky and the three dragons were still playing in the lake and splashing water around; it seems like they didn't have enough fun yet .

"Jessica, you must be tired . His Majesty asked me to bring you some delicious food . " As the flames flickered, a dark-skinned and muscular man walked to a green square rock by the lake with a food box in his hand . A young girl was sitting on the rock, looking absent-minded .
"Emile, it is ok . I'm not tired, and please thank His Majesty for me," the girl replied . She was wearing a very expensive coat made from the fur of a white Snow Mink King, and the soft coat emphasized her delicate skin and beautiful face . When she looked at the surface of the lake with her crystal-like eyes, her expression was a little sad .

She was Jessica, the only female manager of Soros' Merchant Group in Dual-Flags City .

After becoming one of the most influential people in the branch, this girl who used to live in the poor neighborhood turned from an ugly duckling to a swan . Like a polished diamond, her brilliance was eye-catching . She was beautiful, smart, and capable, making her the most popular girl in Dual-Flags City .

Some imaginative traveling poets wrote poems after seeing Jessica, saying that out of more than 60,000 males in Dual-Flags City, except for the babies who were still drinking milk, at least 40,000 males viewed Jessica as their dream lover .

In the last while, it was heard that many young noblemen and successful warriors drooled over her, and the people who wanted to propose to her once filled and blocked the pub she was working at . There were also more powerful people who ignored Manager Abramovich and tried to get Jessica for themselves by using their influence .
However, the story took a 180-degree turn after some people said that Jessica's brother was working as the King of Chambord's guard, and the king cared about Jessica .

Instantly, everyone stopped their actions and held back their desires; none of them dared to provoke this dominating young king who just killed the leaders of the seven top-tier noble families not too long ago .

In fact, most of the influential figures in Dual-Flags City saw Jessica as the King of Chambord's woman .

Chapter 559: Stories on The Way Back

It was clear that the dark-skinned and muscular man was Husky Emile who was recruited by Fei .

When the troop of Chambord left Dual-Flags City, Fei brought this simple-minded but pure young man with him after getting consent . Jessica, his sister, was being sent to Chambord by Manager Abramovich to establish a new branch .

Abramovich had his plans . By sending Jessica, who was already friends with the King of Chambord, to the Chambord Kingdom, it would maintain the relationship between him and Fei . Instead of growing apart due to the long distance, he was helping Chambord's economy by investing in it, making their relationship tighter .

This way, Husky and Jessica didn't need to separate as brother and sister, and it wasn't a bad arrangement .
"Brother, why did the royal family and the Military Headquarter pull away His Majesty's title as the Legion Commander of [Wolf Teeth Legion]? Didn't His Majesty do a good job? They didn't give His Majesty that many soldiers… If His Majesty didn't stop the invaders of Jax, Dual-Flags City might have been conquered… Every single person in Dual-Flags City is thankful for His Majesty's work… What the royal family and the Military Headquarter did is truly disappointing . "

Jessica said as she pouted . She threw a small piece of rock into the lake, and it created a series of ripples .
Husky laughed and scratched his head .

Although he had been following Fei for the last while, he didn't pay attention to anything else except for Fei's safety . In Fei's words, Husky's head was filled with muscle and a tiny bit of brain . He was too simple to think about all the complicated matter .
"I heard that… Crown Prince Arshavin and His Majesty have some conflicts . Therefore, he ordered the military headquarter to mess with His Majesty . " Husky used all he got and vaguely came up with a reasonable explanation .

"Arshavin His Highness? Really? A genius like Arshavin His Highness should appreciate someone like Mr . Alexander, no? They are the two most talented young man in Zenit! People are saying that although Emperor Yassin is ill, Zenit is lucky to have them two . After Arshavin His Highness becomes the emperor, Mr . Alexander could become the No . 1 Warrior of the empire and help him!" Jessica looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, did you hear it wrong?"

"No, no . " Husky quickly shook his head . After he looked around and made sure that no one was close by, he walked up and whispered, "Three days ago, when the special envoy from the Military Headquarter arrived at Dual-Flags City, I was with His Majesty and witnessed the whole thing . That damn envoy was very arrogant, and he was not polite at all . He said that the Military Headquarter was very displeased by the progress at the Jax Battle Zone; his tone was very stern . After he stripped away His Majesty's titles, he told other people in private that Emperor Yassin no longer values His Majesty, and Second Prince Dominguez who supports His Majesty also lost in the battle of the throne . Except for Crown Prince Arshavin who has issues with His Majesty, a few noble families and Fourth Prince Chrystal are also trying to cause trouble for His Majesty; they hate His Majesty . Since His Majesty killed the leaders of the seven noble families, they are going to use that against him . Once His Majesty is convicted, the consequences might be too severe to overcome . "
"What? That serious?" Jessica was shocked . She jumped up and said anxiously, "Does His Majesty know about this? No, I need to tell him…"

Before she could finish, she rushed toward the King's Tent .

Husky was surprised . He grabbed onto his sister's wrist and said, "Jessica, wait . His Majesty already knows about it . Think about it; this is something that even I know . How could His Majesty not know about it?"
Jessica thought about it and flushed .

She was a smart girl . Although she only got into the affluent circle recently, her mind was a lot broader . Manager Abramovich taught her well, so she was able to think everything through in a short moment .

For some reason, as soon as she heard that Fei might be in danger, she lost her cool and logic . Her heart raced, and she got very worried . She wanted to tell that person all about it .

Touching her burning cheeks, she peeked at her simple-minded brother and realized that he didn't discover anything . She calmed down a little, and she couldn't help but ask, "Does His Majesty have a way to deal with it? If… If…"

Husky scratched his head habitually and laughed, "I'm not sure if His Majesty has solutions, but I feel like His Majesty isn't worried… Just like how a giant won't worry about the provocation coming from ants, it feels like His Majesty is too great for them . If the giant wants, he could destroy the ants easily . Hehe, I'm not sure if my analogy is appropriate, but I think it is right . "

Jessica laughed and shook her head after seeing her brother's naïve expression .

Although Husky's analogy was exaggerating, it brought this girl a strong sense of security .

She felt like she was over-concerned . "Alexander His Majesty is extremely talented; how could he be hindered by the corrupt and stupid nobles?" she thought .
She looked back at the reflections on the surface of the lake, and she went back to her deep thoughts .

For some reason even unknown to herself, she felt a little sad .
"Jessica, eat the food first . The dishes will be cold…" Husky didn't sense his beautiful sister's mind, so he simply took out the dishes from the magic food box that could keep everything warm and placed them in front of Jessica .

…
In the campsite, campfires lit up the sky .

The warriors and soldiers of Chambord sat around the campfire, and their loud laughter resonated in the area .

Priest Jessie, the most talented young priest in Black-Cloth Shrine, was sitting by the campfire that was closest to the lake .
This brown short-haired young man was using a tree branch, that was more than a meter long, to play with the burning campfire . As the fire flickered, his face was illuminated differently at every moment .

It seemed like he was thinking about a very difficult problem .

Beside him, Holy Knight Alan was quite relaxed . He was eating a roasted fish, and the aroma of the white fish meat was intriguing, adding flavor to the night .
Jessie and Alan were both lucky and unfortunately .

They were lucky enough to enter the core region of the Mythical Palace, but Domenech injured them before they could get any treasures . Also, Fei took them out of the core region before it closed, so their strengths also didn't increase that much .

Three days ago, when Fei met with Batistuta and agreed to join Black-Cloth Shrine, the king got a new identity; he was now the bishop of this shrine that was once glorious and powerful . Before Batistuta went back to the headquarter of Black-Cloth Shrine to prepare for the official coronation, he asked Jessie and Alan to stay with Fei and act as the bishop's servants .

Fei was happy to have two more powerful masters with him .

Jessie was now a mid-tier Half Moon Elite, and his addition to Chambord was a great thing .

"Jessie, don't frown all the time . Eat something; you haven't eaten for the whole day . " Alan had white hair just like Pierce, and the short hair stood on his head like iron spikes . He looked energetic, and he passed a sauced up roasted cod to Jessie as he smiled .

"Alan, I think the headquarter of the shrine is going to be moved to the Chambord Castle once Alexander His Majesty is coronated . I'm afraid that the other shrines in the northern region would pay a lot of attention to us by then… All sorts of obstacles and issues will come… Also, Platini, the bishop of the Northern Regional Church, and the Senate need to approve the coronation . Huh… There are a lot of issues ahead of us!"
Jessie took a bit of the roasted fish, but he didn't have the appetite .

"Jessie, you are overthinking it . Mr . Batistuta and the elders will handle all of this, and Alexander His Majesty isn't dumb either . " Alan lowered his voice and whispered, "I think in the end, you are just not confident in our new bishop, right?"

A bitter smile appeared on Jessie's face; Alan was right .

Chapter 560: 560

Jessie was the child of a family of Black-Cloth Shrine's believers, and he demonstrated talent in cultivating holy power since a young age . Black-Cloth Shrine paid attention to him since he was four years old, and he was taught by elders in the shrine such as Batistuta and Totti . He was taught the code of the Black-Cloth Shrine, and he tightly measured his actions and words according to the code .

Therefore, you could say that Jessie was a person who held others to high standards, but his standards for himself was even higher .

Therefore, having a wild [God Favorite Child] like the King of Chambord to become the bishop of Black-Cloth Shrine was too much for him to take in at once . Even though people like Batistuta tried to open his mind, but he still couldn't accept it that easily .

However, he had to listen to the orders of the elders .
Besides, the oracle stated that the [God Favorite Children] had the qualification of becoming bishops of the shrines . The only thing that confused Jessie was that why did the gods choose the King of Chambord, who never behaved according to the code of the Holy Church, as a [God Favorite Child] .

To Jessie, the conflict in terms of beliefs felt worse than losing his life .
"The gods are never wrong . Perhaps my understanding of the code isn't good enough . My path of cultivation is still long, and I might be able to grasp the truth by following Alexander His Majesty . "

…
As the young priest was still bothered by his thoughts, the warriors of Chambord such as Drogba and Pierce were swearing and insulting Andrew Arshavin, Zenit's God of War who was being loved by the people in the empire .

"Humph! F*ck that man; he is only a con artist! If the five main battle legions were given to His Majesty, His Majesty would be able to conquer the Spartax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire easily . After all, there are 150,000 elite soldiers there!" Drogba said ferociously as he bit into the delicious roast boar leg in his hand . He was furious, and he was calling Arshavin names .

"You are right! Alexander His Majesty is able to stop for 70,000 elite soldiers of Jax for 40 days with a legion that is recently made . He even killed a powerful master called [Snow Mountain Hermit] and suppressed all the masters who were there for the Mythical Palace . Can he, the Crown Prince, do it?" the other tough man of Chambord, Pierce, also raised his voice and shouted .
"Humph! I heard that Crown Prince Arshavin let his subordinates handle the southwest battle zone, and he went back to the Capital; he is planning to use this victory momentum to fight for the throne with Dominguez His Highness . People are saying that he accused Alexander His Majesty of prolonging the war, ruling the Dual-Flags City like an emperor, killing nobles of Zenit, and secretly getting in touch with the enemies of Jax…" Torres said . After hearing all kinds of rumors recently, he who was usually calm couldn't hold back as well .

"The Crown Prince is trying to fight with His Majesty clearly! Damn! What an ungrateful pig! If His Majesty didn't save him on the peak of the east mountain at Chambord, he would have been killed by Paris…"

"I heard that the situation at St . Petersburg is a mess; almost all the nobles are supporting the Crown Prince . Under the planning of the Elder Princess, Arshavin is pretty much in control, and the Second Prince is in danger; he experienced quite a few assassination-attempts now already .
"Damn! This Elder Princess! What is she thinking? His Majesty treated her well, and she is helping Arshavin to fight Chambord?"

"Eh? The Elder Princess? She didn't do anything…"

"What do you know? If the Elder Princess didn't allow it, how could so many noble families jump out and accuse His Majesty of wrongdoings? Hehe, in my opinion, we should go back to St . Petersburg! With His Majesty's strength, who could stop us? We shall kill all those nobles who dare to bully us! After that, we can see who else dares to accuse us!"

The discussion soon got out of hand, and all sorts of treasonous things were said .

At this moment, a person slowly walked by and dried coughed to get their attention .

After he got everyone's attention, he stared at the few warriors of Chambord who said outrageous things and scolded, "Do you even know what you are talking about? If there are spies around, and what you said are passed back to the Imperial Knight Palace, all of you would be captured and hung in the black prison! Do you think that the situation is not chaotic enough? Don't get His Majesty into more troubles!"

The person speaking was the strategist for Chambord, Old Aryang .

Although Old Aryang joined Chambord pretty late, all of the leaders of Chambord respected him and listened to him after spending time with him in the Jax Battle Zone; his military knowledge and charisma drew them over . In addition, since Fei showed his respect to him and relied on him, he had a lot of influence over the warriors of Chambord . After hearing what he said, people like Drogba and Pierce knew that they went over the line, and they giggled and lowered their heads .

"If I could only describe the situation of Zenit with only one word, it would be chaotic! If I need to describe it with two words, it would be super chaotic! No one knows what is going to happen next! His Majesty is wise and patient, and that was why His Majesty chose to hold back his anger three days ago . His Majesty is kind, and he doesn't want to drag Chambord into wars . You guys are the earliest followers of His Majesty, and His Majesty trusts you guys the most . Therefore, you need to be extrpatient at a time like this and not ruin His Majesty's plans . "

Old Aryang felt like his tone earlier was a bit too stern, so he changed to a gentler tone as he reminded the warriors of Chambord .

People like Drogba and Pierce were all straight-forwarded, and they didn't mind the scolding at all .
Fatty Oleg instantly moved a little and made a spot for Old Aryang to sit down . ; they all wanted to listen to the strategist's analysis of the situation .

"Out of the three battle zones, Jax Battle Zone is the only battle zone where the troops of Zenit didn't make a counter-invade . Therefore, it made His Majesty look bad . Also, in order to unite the forces in Dual-Flags City early on, His Majesty killed the leaders of the seven biggest noble families, and that created some weaknesses for ill-intended people to exploit . If the people who are hostile toward His Majesty could control the public opinion and influence the narrative in the elite circles, there will be a lot of issues for Chambord in the future . "
Old Aryang said down and analyzed in detail .

"Right now, Arshavin, Zenit's God of War, got the victory in the southern battle zone, and he is now the hero in the minds of the citizens . Many nobles favor him, and his influence greatly increased . Also, he got the support of the Military Headquarter . Out of the ten old main battle legions, he controls six of them, and he is going to control four out of the ten new battle legions . He is in a dominating position in the fight for the throne . If nothing else happens, after Emperor Yassin, who has been ill, passes away, the Crown Prince is going to become the emperor . "
"However, this hero of the empire is hostile toward His Majesty . If Arshavin actually becomes the emperor, Chambord would be in trouble . "

"The reason why His Majesty got the title of the Head Commander of the Jax Battle Zone and the Legion Commander of [Wolf Teeth Legion] stripped away is that Arshavin accused His Majesty of wrongdoings in the most recent conference in the Military Headquarter . Since the Crown Prince has so much influence over the military at the moment, his opinions could instantly become orders . Therefore, the Head Commander of the Jax Battle Zone is now Arshavin's loyal subordinate Abonla . The native soldiers in Dual-Flags City are going to be reorganized, and people like Mr . Ribry who strongly favored His Majesty aren't going to be in a good situation . Also, the [Wolf Teeth Legion] who was created and led by His Majesty will be reorganized as well . The chance of all the soldiers and commanders being discharged is quite high…"

"In fact, it is heard that Mr . Ribry has been discharged from his position as the Head Commander of the native troops, and the Military Headquarter is going to appoint someone else to take his position . Also, high-level commanders in [Wolf Teeth Legion] who favored Chambord such as Mr . Shevchenko, Mr . Reyes, and Ms . Cindy were all ordered to go back to their affiliated kingdoms to reflect on their mistakes… Everything is showing that some people have detected the threats His Majesty posed, and they wanted to get rid of the threats immediately . I'm afraid that what is happening right now is only the foreplay . More despicable and dirty tricks are going to be used!"
Old Aryang paused after saying all that .

The warriors of Chambord looked at each other and didn't know how to respond . After a while, Torres asked as he played with his bowstring while a flash of cold light appeared in his eyes, "Mr . Advisor, what should we do?"

"Nothing at the moment . " Lights of wisdom appeared in Old Aryang's eyes as he said lightly, "Although the situation looks dangerous, as long as you guys don't cause more trouble for His Majesty, there won't be any big problems . Although it seems like His Majesty is backing off, we aren't in the disadvantage . Almost no one in Zenit could threaten His Majesty! If I'm not wrong, His Majesty's strength is on an unimaginable level! He is pretty much invincible at Zenit!"

Chapter 561: You Forgot About A Person

Old Aryang sighed as he said that .

This young king, whom he decided to follow at his lowest point in life, turned out to be the most unique person ever

The situation at Zenit was very special; nothing similar to it happened in the last 60 years . If this were any other affiliated kingdom, the only solution would be to surrender to Crown Prince Arshavin . However, to Chambord, it felt like child's play .

The absolute individual strength allowed the king to jump out of the game and observe everything as a bystander . He was in control, and he could rewrite rules if he wanted to . Therefore, Zenit's God of War was like a clown in Fei's eyes .
This was true power!

When a person's individual strength reached a certain level, he or she would be able to ignore the military and masters of an empire . All sorts of conspiracies and traps would be useless .
Unfortunately, there were just too many things that Old Aryang couldn't predict .

If he knew that Emperor Yassin, who was rumored to be very ill, almost killed a Sun-Class Lord in the Mythical Palace, his judgment would change; at least he would know that Fei wasn't invincible in Zenit yet .
Of course, the king had many trump cards that other people couldn't even imagine!

If Chambord and Zenit had to go separate ways, even though Emperor Yassin was powerful, Chambord wouldn't be at a disadvantage .

The only thing was that Fei was thinking about the bigger picture, and he didn't want the situation to worsen .
In addition, Crown Prince Arshavin's will didn't represent the Royal Family's will . The person who was still in control of the empire was the actor named Yassin . He fooled everyone with his act, but he no longer could continue the act after the trip to the Mythical Altar .

What Old Aryang said to the warriors of Chambord was good . He warned these guys who were simple-minded not to cause more troubles for the king, and he also didn't hinder the morale . Instead, the warriors of Chambord actually got even more confident . It achieved three objectives at the same time .

As they continued to chat, the conversation went back to their old comrades .
"Ah, after fighting alongside guys like Shevchenko and Ribry, I sure do miss them . Too bad that they aren't apart of Chambord . Otherwise, if we could all serve His Majesty, it would be a lot better than getting individually bullied by that damn crown prince…" Drogba scratched his head and said emotionally .

What he said resonated with the other warriors .

For the last while, the warriors of Chambord, the native commanders in Dual-Flags City, and the commanders in the [Wolf Teeth Legion] fought alongside each other, and they developed a friendship that only belonged to men . Therefore, suddenly separating from those great people made the warriors of Chambord a little sad .

"Eh, that is unfortunate . If they could come back with us, it would be awesome . "

"I think His Majesty is also missing them . "

In the end, the atmosphere was so sad that even Old Aryang, who was usually calm and collected, fell quiet .

However, no one noticed that what they said were all heard by Angela who walked out of the central tent coincidentally .
"Is Alexander having this much pressure?" Angela thought, and her heart shivered .

She never paid much attention to the situation of Chambord .

Except for when she was at St . Petersburg and tried to help Fei out with the construction of the [Wolf Teeth Legion], she never wanted to participate in the management of Chambord because she didn't want to cause more trouble for her lover .

This was the first time that she realized how much pressure Fei was dealing with .

"But, what can I do for Alexander?" Angela stood in front of the central tent and lightly bit her lower lips with her pearl-white teeth . She felt like she was useless; except for feeding and clothing Fei, she felt like she couldn't do anything else .
This conclusion made this girl a little depressed .

"Hehehe, dumb girl, you don't need to do anything for me…" Someone hugged her from behind, and a familiar voice sounded beside her ears, "As long as I could embrace you like this for a few minutes every day, my life would be full of happiness and color . "

"Ah, Alexander…" Although she was used to Fei's intimate contact, she would still blush, and her heart would still race . She held onto the big hands that were around her waist with her own and said, "But Alexander, I want to do things for you . "

"Huh? Eh, if that is the case, you could take care of the pets and train them properly . After they grow up, our Chambord will have three powerful dragons to protect the kingdom . It is very important!" Fei comforted Angela and took her back into the central tent .

Angela nodded earnestly and said, "That is no problem . I think I can manage that . "

The issue that was bothering this girl was easily put down by Fei's sweet words .
"Angela…" Fei hugged Angela tight .

"Eh?"
"Marry me . Let's get our wedding set up . "

"Eh?" the girl was surprised; her voice was even shaking .
"Let's do our wedding as soon as we go back to the kingdom, what do you think?" Fei's voice sounded dreamy to Angela, "Our wedding will be hosted in front of tens of thousands of citizens of Chambord as beautiful flow pedals fall from the sky . We will stay in a castle in the sky while our citizens celebrate it with us, and all intelligent beasts in the area will come and congratulate us . I will design your wedding dress personally, and you will become the happiest, luckiest, and prettiest bride in the world!"

The feeling of happiness overtook Angela, and she felt a little numb . The feeling was strange, and her heart raced .

The breaths by her ear made her feel like passing out .
She bit her lips as another beautiful figure flashed by in her mind . After a little hesitation, she turned around and looked at Fei with a unique earnest expression on her face .

At this moment, the atmosphere got a little strange .

Angela's expression scared Fei a little . As he was about to say something, the girl suddenly laughed and pressed her slender and white finger onto Fei's lips . As a playful expression flashed on her face, she laughed, "Alexander, you forgot about a person!"
"Ah?" Fei felt a little guilty; he knew who Angela was talking about .

"Sister Elena told me about the stories about you guys . I didn't know that Elena accompanied you on so many dangerous missions . You guys fought alongside each other and experienced so much… I truly envy Elena; she is powerful, and she could help you in battles…" Angela caressed Fei's cheeks as she continued, "I didn't know that you were in so much danger in the other world…"

"Angela, I…"

"I know, Alexander . I know you didn't tell me because you don't want me to worry . You don't have to blame Sister Elena . When we both fell into unconsciousness about a month ago, we thought that we would never see you again . In that strange dark space, there were only the two of us . In order to distract me and care for me, she told me about the stories…"

This naïve girl would always think for other people .

"Therefore, Alexander, you can't just marry me . During our wedding, you couldn't just hold onto my hand . Sister Elena didn't sacrifice any less compared with me, and I hope that both Elena and I could wear the wedding dresses that you design, stand beside you, and get blessed by all the citizens of Chambord!"

Fei was stunned; he felt both touched and guilty .
On the Azeroth Continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, males had a higher status than females . Therefore, it was common to see a man with several wives . The nobles who were even more powerful had hundreds of lovers . Almost all the kings of the affiliated kingdoms had a harem, and even the holy and powerful Holy Church implicitly allowed for a terrifying law called [Virginity Rights] . In the kingdoms and empires where this law existed, all the girls would have to give their virginity to the ruler before getting married .

Therefore, marry two girls at once was a common thing, and Angela wasn't opposed to it .

Angela was an empathic person . After she knew about the dangerous experiences Fei and Elena had in the other world, understood the inseverable relationships the two of them developed over time, and got close to Elena in that mysterious dark space, Angela completely accepted Elena, and that last bit of mental barrier disappeared .

In a sense, what happened to Angela and Elena helped the three of them open up to each other and create harmony .

Fei didn't say anything; he only hugged onto the girl in his arms tighter .
…

…

-Diablo World-

Fei and Elena stood outside the tomb where the final boss in [Lut Gholein] was hiding .

Chapter 562: God-tier Weapon – [Immortal King's Stone Crusher]

This was Fei's second time fighting the [Lord of Pain] Duriel, that looked like a huge bug, as a Barbarian .

The gloomy and dark underground passage was filled with a nose-piercing smell of blood, and the air was moist . The blood of monsters was everywhere and formed puddles, and it stained the magic battle boots that Fei and Elena were wearing . The corpses of the monsters they killed were lying around them . Under the illumination of the ancient magic lights, the terrifying battleground could rival with hell .

Fei inserted the Horadric Staff, the item he got from completing the previous quests, into the Orifice in the center of the circle of seven symbols, and a secret passage to where Duriel was hiding opened .

"Duriel, this fat bug, is one of the top figures in hell . I hope that we could get some great items from it . Other components of the [Immortal King] set would be best…" Fei prayed in his mind before he looked at the Valkyrie beside him and said, "Elena, let's go!"
As they stepped into the portal, they entered a special place, and the angry roars sounded before the powerful winds came at him .

"Haha, this fat bug sure is lovely!" Fei laughed .
Since Elena was behind him, he didn't try to dodge . Instead, he held onto two crystal swords that he got from killing monsters and charged at it .

Bam!
The energy waves almost destroyed this tomb . The space started to shake, and clouds of dust fell from the ceiling and reduced the visibility .

A huge force got passed onto the two swords, and Fei was forced back one step . The crystal swords in his hands cried and cracked, and the huge bug, Duriel, roared angrily as its huge body got knocked away .

The benefit of giving all attribute points to [Strength] showed . Compared with Fei who specialized in physical strength, even the boss Duriel couldn't rival him in this aspect .
"Wow! This boss' physical strength is even weaker than Blacky!"

Fei got more confident as his understanding of the bosses in the Nightmare Mode got clearer .

However, the two blue crystal swords Fei used also got destroyed in the process .
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of air-piercing noises sounded, and many magic arrows flew pass Fei and targeted Duriel that was still flying in mid-air .

The beautiful mercenary started her fierce attacks as well .

Even though Duriel was angry and went berserk, its attacks such as ice blast didn't pose any threats to the two invaders . Fei and Elena coordinated too well, and they clearly had the advantage .

-Ten minutes later-

"Huh? Ahahahaha! Damn, I'm lucky! I got what I wanted…" Fei stood in front of Duriel's huge corpse and laughed out loud even though Elena was right there with him .

He was holding onto a huge hammer that was longer than himself!
[Immortal King's Stone Crusher]!

It was a component of the [Immortal King] item set .

This hammer was black, and its style was simple . It was made from an unknown metal, and it felt very thick and powerful . Just by looking at it, one could tell that it had a history with it . Just the handle of this hammer was about two meters long . The end of the handle was about the circumference of an egg, and the handle got thicker as it approached the huge metal hammer head . Ancient patterns were engraved onto the handle, and they looked like coiled dragons . The handle felt warm, but it wasn't slippery .

The hammer head was like a huge barrel, and fist-sized spikes were placed in an orderly fashion on the body of the hammer head . One side of the hammer head was flat, and the other side was pointy like a nail . The tip of this end was giving off a silver light, and it felt like it was going to penetrate through people's souls . It looked blood-thirsty and destructive .

No wonder it was the legendary weapon of the Immortal King, Bul-Kathos . The visuals alone were enough to scare people .

A star-level warrior wouldn't even be able to lift up this heavy metal hammer, let alone using it in battle .

Even though Fei's barbarian character had a ton of physical strength, this hammer wasn't that light in his hands; it felt just right .

Almost all of Fei's weapons were destroyed in the battle with Domenech . Even his dual swords, [Bul-Kathos' Children] were shattered by the [Sword of Fire Judgment] .
Fei lacked a proper weapon, and this [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] came just in time . Fei had added a few skill points into [Polearm Mastery] in Normal Mode, so he didn't find it difficult to use this hammer . Instead, he felt like he could better unleash the violent and ferocious force of a barbarian .

After laughing, Fei calmed down and started to check out the detail statistics of this weapon .
[Immortal King's Stone Crusher] was also known as Ogre Maul .

Damage: 431 – 538 . This meant that every strike was equivalent to the full-on strike of a low-tier New Moon Elite . This was the most powerful magic weapon Fei had seen so far .
[Required level: Nightmare Mode Level 40

Required strength: Nightmare Mode 100

+250% damage to undead
+200% damage to demons

+200% enhanced damage

+ 40% attack speed
+ 211-397 fire damage with 2 set items .

+ 7-477 lightning damage with 3set items

+ 127-364 cold damage for 6 seconds with 4 set items

+ 204 poison damage over 6 seconds with 5 set items

+ 250-361 magic damage with a complete set]

The additional power of this weapon almost made Fei's eyeballs pop out of his eye sockets .

Although he didn't know what kind of statistics Semi-God-tier Combat Weapons and God-tier Combat Weapons would have if they were converted into the metrics in Diablo World, Fei knew that these statistics for [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] was insane!
Unfortunately, including [Immortal King's Stone Crusher], Fei only had two set items . Therefore, the additive lightning, cold, poison, and magic damages couldn't be realized . So far, only 211-397 fire damage could be used in battle .

However, Fei attention was soon attracted by something else .

Indestructible!

It meant that the durability of this weapon was infinite! It could handle all types of attacks and wouldn't break!

It was an insane attribute!
If Fei had this hammer in his hand when fighting against Domenech's [Sword of Fire Judgment], he might be able to block that strike using this hammer . His weapon wouldn't be destroyed, and he wouldn't be placed in the dangerous situation where he didn't have anything to use to block the strike .

This weapon was the perfect god-tier item for the barbarian!

Only the great and violent physical strength of the barbarian could unleash its power to the maximum . With this hammer in hand, the barbarian would be able to use the fundamental physical strength to swing the hammer and destroy enemies . Even the gods couldn't harm this weapon!

With the hammer in hand, Fei closed his eyes and caressed it . He felt like he had sensed its eagerness for battle . This weapon had its own soul, and it was made for combat .

"Don't worry . In my hand, you will get to drink the blood of powerful masters!"
Fei opened his eyes and placed [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] into his weapon slot . He instantly felt like he became one with the hammer, and he could summon it easily .

When he lightly swung the hammer, a series of thunder-like and dragon roar-like noises sounded, and it felt like even the space was being torn open .

Chapter 563: Shouldn't Be Able to Get You This Easily

With the hammer in his hand, Fei felt heroic and invincible .

He felt like defeating all the powerful masters in the world .

After enjoying that marvelous feeling, the king reluctantly put [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] away . Then, he started to check out the other items that Duriel dropped . There were four other items; three of them were enveloped by orange lights, indicating that they were level 6 items . They weren't bad, but they could no longer excite Fei unless they got unique properties .

These three orange items were a pair of metal gauntlets, a big belt, and a delicate hawk helmet .
Fei picked them up and used three [Identify Scrolls] . After reading their properties, he realized that they were average . Since Domenech destroyed Fei's gauntlets in battle, this pair of gauntlets named [Finder's Touch] was equipped by him; the other two items were put inside his storage space . He was planning to sell them when he got back to the city .

Except for these three orange items, there was a green level 7 set item!

It was an ancient silver bow .

Fei was excited, and he used an [Identify Scroll] . The name and properties of this bow were instantly revealed .
[M'avina's Caster – Grand Matron Bow]!

It was a component of another top-tier item set!

This bow was the weapon component of the best item set for the Amazon Character, [M'avina's Battle Hymn] . In terms of preciousness, it wasn't inferior to [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] .

"Eh, could it be that I have been acting low-key recently and accumulated enough luck? Damn, I'm lucky! Two components of top-tier item sets?" As Fei viewed the properties of the [Grand Matron Bow], he sighed and commented on his insane luck .

[Grand Matron Bow] was silver, and it was crystal-like, making it look a little dreamy . The bow was thicker than ordinary bows, and vine-like patterns were engraved on it; it allowed the user to have a firmer grip . The two ends of the bow were as sharp as blades, and it seemed like they were meant for close-range combat . Also, the bowstring would only appear when the user used it; otherwise, nothing else would be seen except for the body of the bow .

Based on the numbers alone, the arrows this bow shot out would deal a damage between 60-307 . If a magic archer used it, its damage would be even higher . Three arrows would be able to kill a low-tier New Moon Elite .

Of course, the required level, strength, and dexterity were high as well .

After Fei observed this bow, he gave it to the Valkyrie beside him . Elena's abilities had increased a ton, and her current bow no longer matched her; it was hindering Elena's combat abilities .

Elena fit all the criteria that were required by this bow, and it was a good fit .

"Eh," the Valkyrie nodded and took over the [Grand Matron Bow] . After she pulled on the mystic bowstring, she commented, "It is good . "

Fei felt like crying; he thought, "This is the top-tier weapon for archers in Diablo World! Why did Elena only say that it is good?… Why do I feel like smashing my head against a wall?"

Fortunately, Fei was now used to Elena's calmness, and he quickly got over it .

Fei then summarized the other benefits and rewards he got .
After passing the second map [Lut Gholein], Fei was now a Nightmare Mode level 56 Barbarian, and he accumulated almost 30 attribute points and more than a dozen skill points . Since he got [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] and his battle style was going to change, he put all the skill points into [Mace Mastery] and [Polearm Mastery], and the attribute points were added to [Strength] .

After Elena finished distributing her points, today's time limit hadn't arrived yet .

Although Fei wanted to go into the next map to test out [Immortal King's Stone Crusher], he held back his thirst and brought the Valkyrie back to [Rogue Encampment] in Normal Mode .

"Come on, Elena, stand there . Don't move; I have something to show you," Fei said mysteriously .

Elena was a little confused, but she listened to Fei and stood at an empty space in the center of the camp . For some reason, her good friends who would usually be practicing their archery skills weren't there, and the loud metal-colliding noises that should be coming from Charsi's workshop was nowhere to be heard . It felt like no one else was in the camp except for herself and Fei .

After seeing Fei standing close to her and staring at her with a gentle and loving expression, Elena felt a little shy, and she lightly lowered her head .

"Hahaha, huh? My icy goddess is finally shy for once?" Fei laughed as if he discovered a new continent, and he snapped his finger .

Tud!

After a crisp sound, fire suddenly appeared on the ground .
As Elena looked at the fire in surprise, the fire started to travel on the grass field and quickly drew out a heart shape around the two of them .

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Then, more than a dozen lights of various bright colors flew into the sky and exploded . The lights painted flowers in the sky, and it was a beautiful firework show .

The green stems and leaves, the colorful pedals… The fireworks made the dark and gloomy sky in Diablo World look gorgeous and fancy .
These flames were the products of magic, so they worked a lot better . The colors were more vibrant, and they stayed in the sky much longer . In fact, it felt like they were permanently sealed into the sky .

The bright lights in the sky illuminated Elena's face, and she looked even more beautiful, enough to move the gods in heaven .

As Fei looked at this icy beauty who experienced a lot of things with him, he got emotional as well .

Fei suddenly thought back to when they both almost died under the arrows of skeleton archers in [Tristram] and when Elena cried helplessly after seeing the corpses of some of her friends in the tunnel before fighting Andariel in [Catacombs] .

Although these things only happened about half a year ago, Fei felt like it had been centuries .

Right now, both Fei and Elena were powerful enough to clear those levels in the Normal Mode easily; they grew and became better versions of themselves . At this moment, Fei was going to ask this beautiful girl to marry him . Even though they were meant to be, Fei got a little nervous for some reason .

As a rare and cute expression appeared on Elena's face, Fei took out a bunch of fresh red roses, and the fragrance instantly dispersed into the area . The king single-kneeled in front of Elena, raised his head, and said with the most earnest expression on his face, "Elena, please marry this handsome, cute, and sincere young man in front of you!"

The Valkyrie's grip on the [Grand Matron Bow] loosened, but she then instantly tightened it habitually . As she was at a loss for words, cheers sounded behind the empty tents .

The young and pretty female rogues ran out, and everyone else in the camp walked out and showed themselves such as Charsi the blacksmith, Gheed the merchant, and Warriv the caravan leader . They all surrounded Fei and Elena .

"Sis, what are you waiting for?" a small yet playful female rogue named Maria winked at Elena and said, "Accept it!"

"Hehe, Elena, I'm so envious of you~"

"No, don't accept yet . We need gifts! 10,000 magic gems, a set of M'avina's items! Hehe, of course, also a queen's crown!"

"Yeah! Elena, you are the [Flower of Rogue] . The supreme leader shouldn't be able to get you this easily . "
"Yeah, let's inspect him a little . Hehe, isn't this the trend going on at Chambord right now? Hehehe…"

"Oh, right . I heard that in the other world, if a man wants to ask a woman to marry him, he needs a diamond ring . I have a ring here; it is 100% gold, and an ancient master forged it . After 10,000 years passed by, there is only this one ring left . It is invaluable! Look at the color, the style, and the engravings . Also, it is empowered by magic arrays . What do you think, Fei? In this situation, you should buy it and gifted it to your lover . Eh, since you are the supreme leader, I will give you a 60% discount . 100,000 gold coins . What do you think?"

The sly Gheed took out a rusted ring that lost its magic power out of nowhere, and he handed it to Fei with a bright smile on his face .

Chapter 564: The Kelun Town

Tears appeared in the king's eyes .

"These girls used to be so pure and nice . Why are they all like this after staying at Chambord for a while?" he thought .

Regarding Gheed, Fei raised his leg and kicked him out of the crowd .

"Ok . "
After the initial surprise, the Valkyrie calmed down . She lightly took the flowers Fei handed to her, and she nodded . There was only one word as the response, and it felt like it was an easy decision . However, this response fit her style .

Even though Elena acted calm, Fei still saw that the roses in her hands were getting crush . She was actually so nervous that she didn't notice how much force she was putting on the flowers .

"Ah! You went too easy on him!" Elena's good friends all booed at her easy 'surrender' .

"Ah, it is so boring . I told you guys; a silly girl like Elena would instantly say yes to Fei's proposal . There is no difficulty at all, and it will only waste time . If I believed in myself more, I would be researching the third magic engraving in the godly rune right now . " Cain shook his head as if he knew this was going to happen .
"I finally know why you are this old but still a virgin," Akara stated calmly .

"Eh… Why?!" Cain also spat out a mouthful of blood .

"First of all, your look… In Fei's words, your look is very creative and brave . However, that isn't the key . The primary reason is that you are not interesting and don't understand love!" Akara was very 'critical' and 'vicious" .

"Puff!" Cain instantly felt very depressed .

Fei, on the other hand, grabbed onto Elena's cold hand .

He had been preparing for this for a while, and he wanted to give Elena a big surprise . However, the Valkyrie's calm and collected reply disappointed Fei a little . However, on another thought, Elena was always like this . Fei should be happy that he caught her rare moment of surprise .

Elena was just like that; she didn't even ask him questions such as "What about Angela?"

Her simple answer, "Ok", showed her trust in Fei . That one word showed more determination and faith than anything else . When Fei heard that response, he also sensed the firmness in this pure and beautiful Valkyrie's decision .

…

When Fei exited Diablo World, he felt an unprecedented excitement and was somewhat relaxed .

Fei put a lot of effort into this proposal; it was a lot more planned out, and it was a way for Fei to compensate her . After all, Elena had a tougher upbringing, and she had accompanied Fei through all kinds of dangerous situations . In a sense, she offered and risked a lot more .

Anyone who was in a good mood felt wonderful .

Therefore, Fei had the best sleep he ever had since he came to this world . He even woke up late! It never happened before! When he yawned and walked out of the tent, the sun was already high up in the sky . The troop of Chambord was delayed and behind schedule .
At noon, the troop finally entered the territory of Chambord .

Technically, the new territory of Chambord .

Due to Fei's excellent performance during the affiliated kingdom competition at St . Petersburg, Chambord jumped from a level 6 affiliated kingdom to a level 1 affiliated kingdom . All the small affiliated kingdoms such as the Blackstone Kingdom, the Chishui Kingdom, and the Laisi Kingdom were all given to Chambord as the reward . Therefore, Chambord's territory increased by more than five folds .

Currently, the troop was at the former Blackstone Kingdom's territory .

Kingdom expansion was something that all affiliated kingdoms wanted to see . However, the issue of management of the large territory gave the ministers and leaders of Chambord headaches .

The kingdom suddenly got so much land and so many citizens; there weren't enough human resources to manage all of this . Fei's father-in-law, Bast, and the military leader, Brook, had sent multiple letters to Fei to report this issue, but Fei's response was shameless . Since he was used to being worry-free, he told them to do whatever they felt appropriate .

Therefore, he wasn't sure if the two of them solved this issue or not .

Although Fei liked being worry-free, he wasn't an irresponsible king . He wanted to have the most realistic view of his kingdom, so the troop slowed down when it entered Chambord's territory, giving Fei the opportunity to observe everything .
What pleased Fei was that nothing chaotic took place on the way .

Before sunset, the troop came to the outskirts of a town .

…

This town named Kelun was an ordinary farmers' town .
This town was a part of the old level 4 Blackstone Kingdom .

Three months ago, the King of Chambord showed his power at St . Petersburg and earned his name, and the Blackstone Kingdom underperformed . Therefore, the royal family of Blackstone Kingdom got its title stripped away, and the entire kingdom got rewarded to Chambord . Thus, this Kelun Town naturally became a part of Chambord .

The ordinary farmers whose families had been living here for ages didn't care too much about which kingdom owned this town .

After all, they were struggling to survive . Rather than worrying about who ruled over the town, they were more concerned over if they could get grain seeds in the spring, if they could successfully rent land from the landlord, and if they could pay less taxes . Those things affected their lives way more .

It was about 7 PM, and the sun had set . Clouds of mist started to envelop the town, and the sounds made by dogs and chickens resonated in the area .

The farmers who were worried about planting the seeds in the spring gathered in the only pub in the town . They sat down in groups as they waited for the only noble in the town to announce the newest information on the taxes and land rentals .

This pub had been around for a while, and it wasn't kept too well . However, it was the only place of entertainment in the town, and it was sometimes used as a temporary meeting room .

The wooden gate of the pub squeaked continuously as it was being opened and closed repeatedly .

More and more dark-skinned and thin men walked into the pub . They were wearing coarse clothes and worn-out black boots, and they had bitter expressions on their faces . They greeted their friends and sat down at the available spots .

The only nobleman in the town, Mr . Babel, told everyone that he was going to tell them the seed distribution plan for the upcoming spring and the new taxation system . Therefore, the man in each of the families gathered here and waited for Mr . Babel; their expressions were bitter because they knew that Mr . Babel was going to use this opportunity to get as much money from them as possible .

Squeak!

The ragged wooden gate was pushed open, and the person who walked in was a blond, guard-looking young man . He looked fresh, and he was holding a strangely-shaped bow . Behind him, there was a long black-haired, handsome young man and a long black-haired, beautiful girl .

Their appearances instantly attracted everyone's attention .
These good-looking people didn't belong to this Kelun Town; it was clear that they were from another place . Although this town was remote, merchant caravans and mercenary groups passed by frequently . Therefore, it wasn't unusual to see strangers . However, these three people were too good-looking, and the people in the pub were all stunned .

Behind these three people, there was a short brown-haired young man and a short white-haired knight .

These five people looked around and found a spot by the right-side window to sit down .

Chapter 565: Tyrant Alexander

After a moment of silence, the pub got noisy again .

The alcohol could make these farmers forget about their worries temporarily . Even though they were concerned about the news that Mr . Babel might bring them, and they only had a few copper coins in their pockets, they didn't mind drinking one pint of beer to relax .

The only waitress, Jenny, and the fat female owner of the pub walked around and served these people with the low-quality ale . As these two average-looking women with fat butts were walking around, a man reached out and lightly squeezed Jenny's butt, and this chubby girl with freckles on her face screamed exaggeratedly, causing everyone to laugh .

This was a standard pub in a farmers' town, and this was a typical day here .

Some people couldn't hold back their curiosity and peeked at the five strangers; Of course, they wanted to see the beautiful and pure girl who came with them . This girl was so gorgeous that she looked like a goddess, and these men who are in their 40s and 50s would blush when peeking at her . Her beauty was beyond their imagination, and they didn't even dare to have any dirty thoughts when looking at her .

Compared with her, the wife of Mr . Babel, who was the dream woman for a lot of the men in this town, looked ugly as ever .
People were chatting among themselves and wondering about these five people's statuses, but they didn't dare to walk up and strike a conversation .

"Eh, interesting . I like this atmosphere . " Fei sat down beside the window and looked out to the nightly sky where stars shone . The slight chaotic atmosphere reminded him of his previous life . When he was in university, after playing games in the internet café, he and his friends would go to some roadside BBQ restaurants at 12 in the midnight to chill .
For some reason, Fei felt like he was becoming more and more nostalgic .

Perhaps it was because he was gradually becoming a part of this world, and his memory from his previous life was fading away; he instinctively wanted to keep some .

Angela had never been in such an environment before . However, she didn't hate it . The two things that were repelling her was the thick smell of the tobacco and the stinky feet . She leaned against Fei tighter, and she winked her noise instinctively .

Her charm was undeniable .

Her subconscious movement instantly made the men sitting close to them put out their cigarettes and put their feet back into their old boots .

Torres set to the left of Fei . He sat a little further behind, and he observed everyone in the pub, judging if they were dangerous or not . Even the thin, poor prostitutes who only had a few pieces of clothes on and were trying to get customers were inspected .

Even though Torres knew that the king was mighty, and probably no one in this town could threaten him . However, as a guard, his instinct and habit made him highly aware .

Jessie and Alan were sitting on the opposite side of the table .

Jessie was born in a poor neighborhood, and his life in Black-Cloth Shrine was simple and ascetic . Therefore, he got used to this little pub really quick . He saw there quietly and even called over the chubby waitress Jenny to order a plate of salt water-boiled beans, a pint of bitter ale, and a few pieces of local whole-wheat bread .

Bam!

At this moment, the wooden door of the pub was kicked open .

Everyone turned their heads and saw an arrogant figure . He was more than two meters tall, bald, and wearing two metal bracelets .

After he glanced around viciously, a proud smile on his face . It was clear that he was pleased with the fact that everyone in the pub stopped talking when he made his appearance .
Then, he turned around and put on a flattering smile, bending his back and making a respectful gesture .

Then, a thin, pale mid-aged man walked in; he was wearing a fancy robe . Beside him, there was a mid-aged woman who was hanging onto his arms . This woman was wearing a ton of makeup; she wasn't bad-looking and had a voluptuous body, but her age made her look a little bloated . Also, she was wearing a ton of jewelry; even though it was fancy, it felt a little vulgar .

As soon as these two people stepped into the pub, a disgusted look appeared on their face . They both took out a white cloth to cover their noses, clearing displeased with the air quality there .

This thin, pale mid-aged man was Mr . Babel, the ruler of the town and the only noble around; he could determine the fate of every person in the town . He was a little noble in the former Blackstone Kingdom, and his title got kept after the kingdom was rewarded to Chambord . The woman beside him was his wife, Kelly, and the vicious bald man was his guard, Derek .

"I'm sure you all know the reason why you are here . The spring is about to arrive, so according to the tradition of our town, we will distribute the land rental agreement tomorrow and sale the seeds as well . As you know, the entire Blackstone Kingdom is rewarded to King Alexander His Majesty of Chambord! Therefore, the previous rules are changing . "

After he slowly walked into the table at the center of the pub, which looked the cleanest, Waitress Jenny quickly rushed over and cleaned this table even more . Then, the lady, Kelly, pinched her nose and sat down .

However, Mr . Babel continued to stand . In a calm yet determinate tone, he looked around and announced, "According to the new laws created by King Alexander His Majesty, the tax is going to increase for the coming year . There is the seed tax, justice tax, and the war tax . Each tax is one silver coin, and will be based on head counts…"

Before Babel could finish, the people in the hub started to shout .

"God! Three more taxes? Can we still live?"

"One silver coin per tax per person? After working hard for a full year, I can only make five to six silver coins . That isn't enough for the taxes! What should we eat? What can we wear then?"
"Damn! King Alexander of Chambord! Is he trying to kill us?"

"Damn! We can't live anymore! Justice tax? War Tax? There is no justice! There are no wars around here! We wouldn't be able to afford food, but we need to pay for wars?"
"Just let the enemies of Jax come here! By then, we might be able to have some money left over for food!"

"Tyrant Alexander! I hate you!"

Although these farmers were used to being disappointed once every year and knew that the nobles wouldn't stop getting wealth from them, the new taxes placed a heavy burden on their minds, and they couldn't hold back their anger .

Instantly, the pub got chaotic, and the farmers were enraged .

When Angela and other looked at him with surprise, Fei shrugged and said, "Don't look at me; I never gave such order . I don't think Uncle Bast and Brook would do something like this . "

"Quiet down! Quiet!" Mr . Babel knocked the table forcefully .

That tough, bald guard looked around viciously, and his knuckles made a series of popping noises . Then, he smashed his fist against a wooden beam, causing the dust on the ceiling to fell off .

His ferocious presence instantly scared the farmers, making them very quiet .

They had no power and influence . Except for getting angry, they couldn't do anything else .

"You need to know that King Alexander His Majesty is fighting with the enemies of Jax in the frontline! He is protecting the empire! We need to contribute as much as we can! If the military doesn't get enough funds, the empire might get conquered! The Sand Ghosts' blades aren't easy to talk to! They will kill all the men and assault all women! This town would be turned into a living hell! Therefore, you need to pay the taxes!" Babel paused for a second after seeing that his words scared these farmers and extinguished their will for rebellion . He nodded and continued, "Except for the taxes, the rental cost will increase three times . Also, the price for the seeds will increase three times as well . You all need to pay up in ten days . If you can't, you won't get seeds and lands this year…"

Before he could finish, the pub got noisy again .

"What? That is impossible! We don't have that much money!"

"How? None of us can! Tyrant! That Tyrant! Who is going to come and save us?"

"We would rather be ruled by the royal family of the Blackstone Kingdom! This damn king of Chambord! He doesn't care about our lives! Kick the people of Chambord out! Alexander is a vampire! He is a greedy devil!"

"Chambordians! Get out of Kelun and the Blackstone Kingdom!"

The angry people knocked the tables, and some of them even broke the metal cups . The cussing and shouts almost destroyed the roof!

The atmosphere in the pub was intense; anything might trigger an explosion!

What Babel said went through the bottom line . If everything was calculated according to what he said, then no one in this town could afford growing crops for the next year .

"I'm empathic about the situation, but I couldn't do anything . These are the orders from King Alexander of Chambord . No one can go against it . "

Mr . Babel intentionally threw all the blames onto Chambord, and the angry crowd started to chant things like, "Alexander is a devil . "

Torres instantly stood up and grabbed onto his bow . However, Fei nodded and signaled his guard to sit down . It was clear that the king realized something .

At this moment, a young man suddenly stood up and refuted, "You are lying! King Alexander His Majesty never gave out such orders!"

Chapter 565: Tyrant Alexander (Part One)

After a moment of silence, the pub got noisy again.

The alcohol could make these farmers forget about their worries temporarily. Even though they were concerned about the news that Mr. Babel might bring them, and they only had a few copper coins in their pockets, they didn't mind drinking one pint of beer to relax.

The only waitress, Jenny, and the fat female owner of the pub walked around and served these people with the low-quality ale. As these two average-looking women with fat butts were walking around, a man reached out and lightly squeezed Jenny's butt, and this chubby girl with freckles on her face screamed exaggeratedly, causing everyone to laugh.

This was a standard pub in a farmers' town, and this was a typical day here.

Some people couldn't hold back their curiosity and peeked at the five strangers; Of course, they wanted to see the beautiful and pure girl who came with them. This girl was so gorgeous that she looked like a goddess, and these men who are in their 40s and 50s would blush when peeking at her. Her beauty was beyond their imagination, and they didn't even dare to have any dirty thoughts when looking at her.

Compared with her, the wife of Mr. Babel, who was the dream woman for a lot of the men in this town, looked ugly as ever.

People were chatting among themselves and wondering about these five people's statuses, but they didn't dare to walk up and strike a conversation.

"Eh, interesting. I like this atmosphere." Fei sat down beside the window and looked out to the nightly sky where stars shone. The slight chaotic atmosphere reminded him of his previous life. When he was in university, after playing games in the internet café, he and his friends would go to some roadside BBQ restaurants at 12 in the midnight to chill.

For some reason, Fei felt like he was becoming more and more nostalgic.

Perhaps it was because he was gradually becoming a part of this world, and his memory from his previous life was fading away; he instinctively wanted to keep some.

Angela had never been in such an environment before. However, she didn't hate it. The two things that were repelling her was the thick smell of the tobacco and the stinky feet. She leaned against Fei tighter, and she winked her noise instinctively.

Her charm was undeniable.

Her subconscious movement instantly made the men sitting close to them put out their cigarettes and put their feet back into their old boots.

Torres set to the left of Fei. He sat a little further behind, and he observed everyone in the pub, judging if they were dangerous or not. Even the thin, poor prostitutes who only had a few pieces of clothes on and were trying to get customers were inspected.

Even though Torres knew that the king was mighty, and probably no one in this town could threaten him. However, as a guard, his instinct and habit made him highly aware.

Jessie and Alan were sitting on the opposite side of the table.

Jessie was born in a poor neighborhood, and his life in Black-Cloth Shrine was simple and ascetic. Therefore, he got used to this little pub really quick. He saw there quietly and even called over the chubby waitress Jenny to order a plate of salt water-boiled beans, a pint of bitter ale, and a few pieces of local whole-wheat bread.

Bam!

At this moment, the wooden door of the pub was kicked open.

Everyone turned their heads and saw an arrogant figure. He was more than two meters tall, bald, and wearing two metal bracelets.

After he glanced around viciously, a proud smile on his face. It was clear that he was pleased with the fact that everyone in the pub stopped talking when he made his appearance.

Then, he turned around and put on a flattering smile, bending his back and making a respectful gesture.

Then, a thin, pale mid-aged man walked in; he was wearing a fancy robe. Beside him, there was a mid-aged woman who was hanging onto his arms. This woman was wearing a ton of makeup; she wasn't bad-looking and had a voluptuous body, but her age made her look a little bloated. Also, she was wearing a ton of jewelry; even though it was fancy, it felt a little vulgar.

As soon as these two people stepped into the pub, a disgusted look appeared on their face. They both took out a white cloth to cover their noses, clearing displeased with the air quality there.

This thin, pale mid-aged man was Mr. Babel, the ruler of the town and the only noble around; he could determine the fate of every person in the town. He was a little noble in the former Blackstone Kingdom, and his title got kept after the kingdom was rewarded to Chambord. The woman beside him was his wife, Kelly, and the vicious bald man was his guard, Derek.

Chapter 565: Tyrant Alexander (Part Two)

"I'm sure you all know the reason why you are here. The spring is about to arrive, so according to the tradition of our town, we will distribute the land rental agreement tomorrow and sale the seeds as well. As you know, the entire Blackstone Kingdom is rewarded to King Alexander His Majesty of Chambord! Therefore, the previous rules are changing."

After he slowly walked into the table at the center of the pub, which looked the cleanest, Waitress Jenny quickly rushed over and cleaned this table even more. Then, the lady, Kelly, pinched her nose and sat down.

However, Mr. Babel continued to stand. In a calm yet determinate tone, he looked around and announced, "According to the new laws created by King Alexander His Majesty, the tax is going to increase for the coming year. There is the seed tax, justice tax, and the war tax. Each tax is one silver coin, and will be based on head counts…"

Before Babel could finish, the people in the hub started to shout.

"God! Three more taxes? Can we still live?"

"One silver coin per tax per person? After working hard for a full year, I can only make five to six silver coins. That isn't enough for the taxes! What should we eat? What can we wear then?"

"Damn! King Alexander of Chambord! Is he trying to kill us?"

"Damn! We can't live anymore! Justice tax? War Tax? There is no justice! There are no wars around here! We wouldn't be able to afford food, but we need to pay for wars?"

"Just let the enemies of Jax come here! By then, we might be able to have some money left over for food!"

"Tyrant Alexander! I hate you!"

Although these farmers were used to being disappointed once every year and knew that the nobles wouldn't stop getting wealth from them, the new taxes placed a heavy burden on their minds, and they couldn't hold back their anger.

Instantly, the pub got chaotic, and the farmers were enraged.

When Angela and other looked at him with surprise, Fei shrugged and said, "Don't look at me; I never gave such order. I don't think Uncle Bast and Brook would do something like this."

"Quiet down! Quiet!" Mr. Babel knocked the table forcefully.

That tough, bald guard looked around viciously, and his knuckles made a series of popping noises. Then, he smashed his fist against a wooden beam, causing the dust on the ceiling to fell off.

His ferocious presence instantly scared the farmers, making them very quiet.

They had no power and influence. Except for getting angry, they couldn't do anything else.

"You need to know that King Alexander His Majesty is fighting with the enemies of Jax in the frontline! He is protecting the empire! We need to contribute as much as we can! If the military doesn't get enough funds, the empire might get conquered! The Sand Ghosts' blades aren't easy to talk to! They will kill all the men and assault all women! This town would be turned into a living hell! Therefore, you need to pay the taxes!" Babel paused for a second after seeing that his words scared these farmers and extinguished their will for rebellion. He nodded and continued, "Except for the taxes, the rental cost will increase three times. Also, the price for the seeds will increase three times as well. You all need to pay up in ten days. If you can't, you won't get seeds and lands this year…"

Before he could finish, the pub got noisy again.

"What? That is impossible! We don't have that much money!"

"How? None of us can! Tyrant! That Tyrant! Who is going to come and save us?"

"We would rather be ruled by the royal family of the Blackstone Kingdom! This damn king of Chambord! He doesn't care about our lives! Kick the people of Chambord out! Alexander is a vampire! He is a greedy devil!"

"Chambordians! Get out of Kelun and the Blackstone Kingdom!"

The angry people knocked the tables, and some of them even broke the metal cups. The cussing and shouts almost destroyed the roof!

The atmosphere in the pub was intense; anything might trigger an explosion!

What Babel said went through the bottom line. If everything was calculated according to what he said, then no one in this town could afford growing crops for the next year.

"I'm empathic about the situation, but I couldn't do anything. These are the orders from King Alexander of Chambord. No one can go against it."

Mr. Babel intentionally threw all the blames onto Chambord, and the angry crowd started to chant things like, "Alexander is a devil."

Torres instantly stood up and grabbed onto his bow. However, Fei nodded and signaled his guard to sit down. It was clear that the king realized something.

At this moment, a young man suddenly stood up and refuted, "You are lying! King Alexander His Majesty never gave out such orders!"

Chapter 566: It's Her!

People turned around and looked in the direction of that voice .

There was a dark, thin young man who looked quite dirty . He was small, and he was wearing cheap clothes . His hair was messy, and straws and dry grasses were in there .

His name was Monet, and he was one of the poorest people in the town . Before he said anything, he was standing by the door, not even able to afford a cup of the cheap ale . He was silent and timid before, but for some reason, he suddenly stepped forward and refuted Mr . Babel .

"Monet? Do you know what you are saying?" Babel frowned and stared at this young man viciously .

"I… I know you are not right . King Alexander His Majesty didn't make those rules . " After being questioned by the most powerful person in the town, Monet who should be timid and back off didn't do so . Even though he understood the underlying meaning in Babel's question, he thought of that person and straightened his back, speaking his mind .

"Really? Are you sure, Monet? How do you know?"
"What is going on?"

"Monet, who told you that? What else do you know?"

The farmers in the pub grasped onto what Monet said as if they were drowning and grabbed onto a straw .

They started to ask questions, and a few more anxious ones instantly surrounded Monet . Although they knew that this young man who was usually not that hard working could be lying, they still hoped that he was telling the truth .

"Monet, are you doubting me? Doubting the words of a noble? Do you know what that means?" Babel frowned so much that his eyebrows were almost connected . Everyone in this town knew that this nobleman was really mad .

After seeing this expression, that bald guard sneered and walked toward Monet .

Monet had a friend beside him who lightly pulled his sleeve, trying to tell him to apologize and beg for forgiveness .

However, this usually timid young man had a stubborn expression on his face . He straightened his back and stated, "You are lying! I met the envoy from Chambord, and she said that King Alexander His Majesty removed all taxes for farmers, and the land rental is also going to be free . Lastly, the seeds will be distributed at no cost as well…"
"What? There are such things?"

"Envoy from Chambord? Where? Why didn't I see anyone? Are you sure you met the envoy from Chambord, Monet?"

The farmers in the pub screamed . The information Monet told them was no different to the information about a lake in the eyes of travelers in the desert who were dying of thirst .

"I'm not lying; it is real… Ah!"

Bam!

Before Monet could finish, he screamed out in pain .

After that bald guard punched Monet to the ground, he gave him another stomp .

Monet's body instantly curled up like a cooked shrimp . He was in so much pain that his face paled, and he couldn't make a sound .

The farmers in the pub were terrified, and no one dared to go up and help Monet to stand up .

This bald guard was almost a One-Star Warrior and practically obtained warrior energy; he could easily defeat everyone in the pub . Due to his existence, no one in the town dared to doubt Mr . Babel's orders .

"Yuck! You dirty pig! How dare you lie and throw dirt on me? How dare you doubt the words of Mr . Babel?" the bald guard spat on the ground, and he sneered even more . As he glanced around, he laughed, "You low-lives! This is the consequences of doubting Mr . Babel!"

"Tie him up! When the sun appears in the sky tomorrow, hang him in the center of the town! Let everyone know that death will be given to anyone who dares to disobey King Alexander His Majesty!" Babel relaxed and looked at Monet as if he was a nasty bug . It felt like this nobleman didn't even want to stomp on this poor young man because his shoes might get dirty, but his words were chilling .
Sitting close to the window, Fei stopped Torres and Jessie from helping again .

When Monet was knocked to the ground, the king saw that Monet's friend who tried to stop him from speaking escaped from the pub . It was clear that he was planning to find a person .

If Fei wasn't wrong, the person should be the envoy from Chambord .

Nobleman Babel was vicious and continued to throw all the blame onto the King of Chambord, and Fei was almost sure that all the increased taxes and expenses were tricks played by this man . If the king showed his identity right now, he could solve the issues instantly . However, he was interested in this envoy Monet talked about, so he wanted to see how this envoy was going to deal with this problem .

-Inside the pub-

Poor Monet was tied to the wooden beam in the center of the pub, and a ragged cloth stuffed his mouth . He was now half unconscious .

After Babel threatened the farmers a bit more, no one dared to go against him .

The noble lady named Kelly was covering her nose with a white handkerchief that had a faint fragrance on it, and she was bored and looking around . Suddenly, her pupil contracted when she saw the five strangers . After she showed hostility toward Angela who was a lot more beautiful than her, she focused on Fei, Torres, and Jessie who were all good-looking .

A thirsty woman!
Fei observed her already . He had seen a lot of Japanese Adult Videos, so he understood the intention of this mid-aged woman who had heavy makeup on and felt good about herself .

Perhaps Fei was the king and had a special aura around him, Kelly's eyes locked onto him .

With the sixth sense of a woman, she instantly ranked these three handsome young men in order .

At this time, Babel finally turned around, followed his wife's gaze, and saw the five strangers . As a man, his eyes instantly focused on Angela .

A strong sense of possessiveness appeared in his mind . As he was about to do something, he suddenly froze .

He rubbed his eyes and got confused .

At that moment, for some reason, his vision blurred . When he looked at the five strangers, he could only make out the rough outer shapes . When he focused back onto the goddess-like girl, he couldn't see her face clearly anymore; he could only see the dark edges . However, when he turned around and looked at other people, his eyes went back to normal .

Fei curled his lips; he was using his power to disturb others' visions . If he didn't want to wait for the envoy from Chambord to show up, he could have waved his finger and eliminated this vicious and greedy little nobleman .
Babel lowered his head and whispered something into the bald guard's ear, then this guard turned to look at Fei's group and nodded flatteringly . As this guard was about to walk over to Fei, the wooden door of the pub squeaked opened . The sharp noise sounded ear-piercing in this now quiet pub .

"Please! Please! Monet got beat by them! He couldn't hold it any longer…" An anxious voice sounded, and the people in the pub heard it alongside the noises made by the wind .

Everyone in the pub looked at the door .

A figure that was about 1 . 6 meters tall appeared . This person was wearing a long red robe and a golden belt . The youthful body seemed pressing, and the red fire-like hair was fluttering in the wind . Together with the robe, it made this person look like a cloud of burning flame .

It was a woman .

To be exact, she was a girl who looked about 15 to 16 years old .

Besides this girl, there were three young men . Two of them were wearing black armors and looked like they were 16 to 17 years old, and the third person was the young man who was with Monet and escaped not too long ago .

The girl in the red robe ignored everyone's surprise . With her head raised, she looked around and locked her eyes onto Babel . She sneered and asked haughtily, "Are you the little noble who dared to lie and defame King Alexander His Majesty?"

Such a domineering tone!

This girl completely ignored Babel's title .

"Who are you?" Babel frowned and asked . His thick eyebrows furrowed and were almost connecting .

"I'm the envoy from Chambord, a second-year student in Chambord's Civil and Military University . Also, I'm a Tri-Merit Student and a student official in the university! Remember my name! I'm Louise!" the girl in red responded proudly and told everyone a bunch of obscure titles .

Chapter 567: Fire-like Girl

Fei and Angela looked at each other and saw the smile on each other's face .

They all knew this fire-like and bright girl . In fact, she was treasured by almost everyone in Chambord's military .

"Are you King Alexander? If you can save my father, I'm willing to be your lover forever…" This was the first thing that Louise said to Fei when they met .

Back then, Fei merely discovered the existence of Diablo World, and he just started experimenting with this 'golden finger' . During that time, Chambord Castle was under siege, and the black-armored enemies surrounded it . In order to destroy the siege ladders in battle, Pierce risked his life and got severely injured, dancing on the verge of death .

When Fei successfully got a bottle of [Minor Health Potion] from Diablo World, and before he saved Pierce, he encountered Pierce's daughter, who was this red-haired Louise .

Back then, Louise was still little; she was just a little over ten years old . Now, the time only passed by for about a year, and that girl, who cried beside her injured father, looked like she was six to seven years older . Her thin and weak body had grown a lot, and she looked more like a young woman now .
Her hip and chest bulged up, filling up the loose red magic robe . However, her facial features were delicate but a little immature . Therefore, the contrast between the cuteness and semi-mature body made her the perfect loli .

No wonder when she walked in, almost everyone felt like this fire-like girl stole all their attention .
Fei didn't expect that Bast and Brook would be comfortable enough to send the students of Chambord's Civil and Military University to inspect the new territory of Chambord . The two young men behind Louise were also wearing the uniforms of Chambord's Civil and Military University, so they must be students as well .

What pleased Fei was that this university he established less than a year ago when he felt like joking actually worked pretty well .

At the moment, Louise was already a Two-Star Mage, and a faint cloud of fire elements was floating around her . The other two students looked thin, but Fei could tell that they had warrior energies flowing inside their bodies . They were both One-Star Warriors .

The three of them were invincible in this small town; they could deal with the current situation easily .

Therefore, Fei lightly squeezed Angela's hand and started to observe the performance of Chambord's students; he wanted to know how these three people were going to solve the current problem .

…

"You are the envoy from Chambord?"

Babel's brows twisted frequently like poisonous snakes, causing his expression to change continuously .

This little nobleman felt like something was wrong . When he turned his head and looked at his bald guard, he saw that his guard wasn't afraid . Therefore, he calmed down and mocked, "Do you have any proof? Little girl, can you prove your identity?"

"We knew that shameless people like you would say something like this! Therefore, the Head Minister of Chambord, Mr . Bast, give us these scrolls! I will show this one scroll to people like you who are trying to defame King Alexander His Majesty so that you will finally surrender! Humph!" Louise sneered and took out a red scroll that had golden edges from her inner pocket . She lightly flicked her wrist, and the scroll opened . Then, a surge of energy appeared when the vivid image of a two-headed dog with an ax and a blade in its mouths got displayed . The image was created by magic energy, and it was bright and eye-catching .

It was the symbol of Chambord!

This was the [Scroll of the King's Order], and these scrolls were created by powerful mages, contained anti-forging seals, and were extremely hard to copy . An ordinary level 1 affiliated kingdom shouldn't have the power to create such scrolls .

Three months ago, it was announced that these scrolls would represent the will of King Alexander His Majesty .
Therefore, the farmers in the hub all stood up in excitement as they stared at the bright image on the scroll .

At this moment, almost everyone believed Louise's identity .

Babel's expression froze as well .

"Hahaha! What a joke!" Babel's wife, Kelly, who had been silent suddenly laughed, "Little girl, you want to show off a scroll that you stole from somewhere? What a silly girl! Everyone, just think about it . How could King Alexander His Majesty, someone who is talented and wise, send a little girl as his envoy? Also, from your looks, you guys aren't even adults yet . How could His Majesty trust kids like you? This is ridiculous! Little girl, lying about your identity as the envoy of the king could potentially result in you guys being hung!"

One had to admit that women's sixth sense was sharp . This chubby mid-aged woman instantly saw through Louise's real age and grabbed onto this 'loophole' in the argument .

After hearing Kelly's words, the farmers who believed Louise started to doubt her .

"Hahaha! I almost got fooled by you! Little girl, you sure are daring! How dare you steal one of Chambord's [Scrolls of the King's Order] and try to fool the people of Kelun? Tell me, who told you to do this? Monet is your co-conspirator, right? Hehe, the real envoy from Chambord is resting in my mansion, and he has been worrying since his [Scroll of the King's Order] was stolen . Come here! Guards, arrest this scammer and her peers! Lock them up and interrogate them! I need to know all of the participants in this scheme!"

Kelly's words reminded Babel, so he opened his mouth and instantly threw dirt on Louise and her peers habitually . Using words along, he turned them into thieves who stole this precious and powerful scroll .
A series of footsteps sounded .

More than a dozen guards rushed into the pub from the outside with weapons in their hands . As vicious smiles appeared on their faces, they surrounded Louise and her peers . The farmers in the pub were terrified as they moved further away so that they wouldn't be affected . The young man, who brought Louise and the other two students of the university here, fell onto the ground, and his face paled .
"Humph! I knew that you would try the last-ditch effort!" Louise sneered .

She shook her hands and carefully put away the scroll as if it was the most precious treasure . Then, she pointed at Babel in the nose and stated loudly and aggressively, "I took out the [Scroll of the King's Order] to show you that I have it, and it doesn't matter if you believe it or not . Nobleman Babel of the Kelun Town, I, the envoy from Chambord, suspect that you are trying to cooperate with the enemies of Jax and defame King Alexander His Majesty . You also disobeyed the orders from the king, acted dishonestly, and plotted conspiracies! You better give up and wait for the ruling of the Kingdom's Court! If you dare to resist arrest, as the envoy from Chambord, I have the right of killing treasonous suspects on the spot!"

Louise was tougher than both Babel and Kelly . She opened her mouth and made Babel into someone who committed treason; her determination and courage stunned Jessie and Alan . These two men turned around and looked at Fei, thinking, "No wonder she is the envoy from Chambord . Her domineering and straightforward behaviors are almost identical to King Alexander!"

"What? How dare you? Do you want to die?" Babel shouted furiously, "Quickly arrest these three scammers! Quick!"

The guards sneered and stepped forward .

As the people worried about this fire-like girl, they heard a series of crisp, wind-chime-like chants . Louise placed her hands in front of her chest, and waves of flames appeared in between her palms, instantly increasing the temperature in the pub .

Then, more than a dozen dashes of flames shot out and struck every single guard .

Bam! Bam!

As if they were electrocuted, these guards fell onto the ground while their bodies turned black . Their hairs were burned, and streaks of black smokes came out of their mouths . They couldn't even hold onto their weapons since all of them fell unconscious .

"Ma… mage?! This girl is a powerful mage?" Babel and Kelly were stunned .

They realized that the situation went out of their control, and they sensed a chill going up their spines . At the same time, cold sweats covered their foreheads .

Chapter 568: Change

"Don't worry, Mr . Babel . Hehe, she only knows a few magic spells; how dare she try to fool us? Let me defeat her!" the bald guard said arrogantly .

Usually, he was feared in the town . Therefore, he completely forgot about his real capabilities . He thought that he could deal with more than a dozen farmers at once, so he must be able to fight with this female mage .

"As long as I'm careful and not hit by that little fire, I should be fine . Hehe, isn't it known that mages couldn't fight in a close range? I will only need to get close to her," he thought .

Tap! Tap! Tap!

As he quickened his steps, this guard started to move around and change his positions like an agile bear while moving toward Louise .

After all, he had obtained warrior energy . Although he wasn't an official One-Star Warrior, he could execute these moves easily .
On the other hand, it seemed like that girl couldn't react in time; she didn't even chant her spell .

Just as hope restored in Babel and Kelly's minds, a sneer sounded . One of the young men who were standing beside Louise moved . He instantly dashed forward and kicked out with a light blue energy around his feet .
Before the bald guard could dodge, he was kicked in the chin .

A blue-whitish energy instantly spread to his body from his chin . In just a few seconds, a dense layer of frost enveloped his body, and he was completely frozen by the ice-elemental warrior energy; only his eyes could barely move around, emitting a terrified light .

"You aren't even a One-Star Warrior! How dare you speak to the No . 1 Witch, Eh, I mean No . 1 Goddess of our Civil and Military University like that? To be honest, I'm quite envious of your bravery! Bald guy!" this young man landed on the ground and patted his hands; his tone was filled with mockery .

"Haha, Pato, don't praise me like that; I'm shy . King Alexander His Majesty had said that tiny ants dared to climb over a holy dragon not because they are dumb; it is because that they are ignorant . Therefore, I will forgive this ignorant bear . " Louise referred to herself as a holy dragon without even being shy as a teasing smile appeared on her face . Her smooth hand played with one strand of her red hair, and she lightly walked to the bald guard who was frozen .

As this guard got terrified, she pointed out her middle finger and lightly pressed on this man's chest as if she was an adult who was disciplining a misbehaving child .

Bam!

The bald guard fell back to the ground like a piece of wood .

All the farmers in the pub gasped .

This girl and her peers' strengths were beyond the imagination of these farmers! They didn't expect that the strongest person in the town, who was this bald guard, got easily defeated! He didn't even get to touch the clothes of his opponents!

"How could they be so powerful when they are so young?"

At this moment, most of the people in the pub believed that these three kids were envoys from Chambord .

Only the envoys from Chambord could be this mighty .

"Huh? That Mr . Babel, weren't you quite imposing a moment ago? What? You want to escape now?" Louise turned her head and looked at Babel and Kelly who were trying to escape when people weren't paying attention to them .
"Eh… I, this… you…" Babel froze after his intention was discovered . He turned around and tried to smile, but that smile was uglier than a crying face . He lost all of his pride, and he stuttered, "Ms . Envoy… . . This must… must be… a misunderstand . I was fooled by someone…"

"Haha, you can tell that to Uncle Oleg when you are at the Justice Department of Chambord… Oh, just a friendly reminder, Uncle Oleg is known to be the man who could even make a stone cry out in pain . He is coming back to Chambord with King Alexander His Majesty . If you are lucky, you will get to be interrogated by him personally!"

Louise's prankster-smile and tone along with what she said almost caused Babel and Kelly to faint .

"No, oh, no! Ms . Envoy, please listen to us! We were fooled by… by a fake envoy!" Kelly rolled her eyes and tried to prove their innocence .

"Shut up! You are a vicious woman!" Louise, who was smiling, suddenly changed her expression, and she looked cold as ice . She scolded, "Do you think the envoys from Chambord are idiots? We showed up late because we were investigating into some serious matters . Humph! We have collected evidence against you two! We have information on all the crimes you committed and this conspiracy you two had with four other people, trying to stir up the farmers to cause a riot! Brand, arrest them!"

Her sharp words instantly destroyed Babel and his wife .

Then, the young man who didn't move before dashed forward and took out a pair of delicate handcuffs, locking these two people together .

On the other hand, the young man who used ice-elemental warrior energy untied Monet from the wooden beam in the center of the pub . Then, he used his warrior energy and healed the injuries this young man had suffered .
"Ok, the criminals who tried to defame King Alexander His Majesty have been arrested . Now, as the envoy from Chambord, I will announce His Majesty's orders . Starting this spring, all farmlands are free to rent . Tomorrow, we will distribute the free seeds in front of this Mr . Babel's mansion…" Louise jumped onto a table playfully and told the farmers about the real situation .

Cheers instantly sounded within the pub .
"Hail the king!"

"Long live King Alexander!"

"May gods bless His Majesty!"

"The generous and just King Alexander, we praise you and will pray for you!"

All the cussing and swearing turned into cheering and praising, and Fei turned from a 'tyrant' into a 'great and noble lord' .

Louise and her two peers were taken by this scene, and these three, who looked like young adults but were really kids, finally showed the childish-side of their personalities . They laughed and jumped; excitement and admiration would appear on their faces every time they chanted 'Hail the king' .

The farmers slowly left the pub and went back home .

On the way, they were still chanting 'Hail the king' .

Soon, not a lot of people were still inside the pub .

Except for the female owner and Waitress Jenny who were always in the pub, there were Babel, his wife Kelly, their guards, Louise, Pato, Brand, Monet, and Fei's group of five people .

"Huh? Friends, you all seen unfamiliar . Do you live in this town?" Louise turned around and asked with a serious expression on her face .

Out of the five people who were sitting by the window, she could only see the faces of two people; they were a brown short-haired young man and a white short-haired young man .

Didn't matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see the faces of the other three; she would barely make out the outer edges of their faces .
She couldn't detect the power of this group of people .

She shouldn't try to talk to masters like them . However, since a lot of strange masters came into Chambord's new territories and tried to cause trouble, Louise wanted to see if this group of people were friendly or not . She planned ahead of time, and she already figured out that these five people came this afternoon by asking townsfolk .

"Why, little girl? Are you trying to figure out our identities?"

This voice brought along an indescribable pressure, bringing fear to Louise, Pato, and Brand's minds . They felt like they had been seen through, and their bodies shivered . They instantly unleashed all their energies, preparing for the unknown .

Chapter 569: Test

"Such power!"

Louise, Pato, and Brand all got concerned .

"This mysterious person only said one sentence, and we already sensed so much pressure . His strength is far beyond the instructors and teachers at Chambord's Civil and Military University," they thought .

"Why is there such a powerful master in this little town?" the three of them were shocked .

They received the best and most scientific training, and they were much better than that bald guard who didn't know anything .

Louise still had a bright smile on her beautiful face, but she made a hand gesture behind her back . Pato and Brand instantly understood their leader's intent and quietly adjusted their positions . The three of them were able to coordinate very well, and they were all calculating the best possible escape path that they could take if the situation got too dangerous .
They knew how to do this since it was one of the mandatory courses in Chambord's Civil and Military University .

"I'm an envoy from Chambord . Therefore, after encountering strangers, it is my duty to ask for more information…" Louise raised her head and replied sincerely after she felt ready .
Before she could finish, an insane amount of pressure crushed down toward her . It felt like a gigantic mountain was falling from the sky .

"You…" Louise and the two boys were shocked; they didn't expect this mysterious man to attack them instantly .

Also, as this mysterious person attacked, he blocked off all the exits in the pub . It felt like this man saw through their thoughts and instantly obliterated their plans .

Now, these three kids had to use all that they got .

As Louise quickly backed off, she reached out her hand and took out a scroll from her storage ring; it was the [Scroll of the King's Order] .

The scroll rolled open in the wind . As Louise started to chant a spell, a mystic sensation appeared in the pub .

At the same time, both Pato and Brand charged forward .

They drew their swords, dashed forward on both sides of Louise, and came back together, shoulder to shoulder . As their wood-elemental and ice-elemental warrior energies combined, the warrior energy flames brightened as the two elements complimented each other . Together, they tried to stop or at least slow down the pressure that was coming at them .

"Green-Wood Sword Strike!"

"White-Snow Floating Chop!"

As they shouted, they used their most powerful techniques .

These two combat techniques were created by the most powerful person in Chambord, King Alexander, and they were designed specifically for the students in the Civil and Military University . Although they were basic and had strange names, after the students learned the fundamentals from the mysterious instructors, these simple techniques were extremely effective; the practitioners could deal 200% the damage!

Bam! Bam!

However, before they could fully use the techniques, that pressure got to them . Like two pieces of paper in front of wild wind, they were blown into the air! They couldn't even stop that pressure for one second!

"Appear! King Alexander's Protection!"

Fortunately, Louise broke the record for the amount of time it took to activate the scroll; she instantly completed the spell . As she shouted, dashes of flames shot out of the [Scroll of the King's Order] . The two-headed dog jumped out of the scroll, roared, and turned into a black energy shield .

At the same time, Louise didn't hesitate and cast several spells on herself, such as floating spell, light-body spell, agility spell, and strength spell…

Then, she turned into a dash of red lightning, grabbed Pato and Brand who were knocked away and almost fainted, and tried to escape .

Her timing, movements, choice of escape path were clear and top-rated .

Bam!

The huge black shield only lasted three seconds .

Crack!

This crackling noise wasn't loud, but it shocked these three kids .
They knew that the [Scrolls of the King's Order] were magic scrolls created by King Alexander His Majesty; they could be used as identification token as well as powerful weapons since several defensive and offensive magic spells were stored in them . This spell called King Alexander's Protection would create a powerful energy shield, and it was capable of blocking the full-on strikes of a low-tier New Moon Elite!

"It isn't able to block this person? Is he a master beyond the realm of low-tier New Moon?"

With Pato and Brand in her hands, Louise sprinted forward without daring enough to look back . She instantly broke open the gate and dashed out of the pub; each of her steps covered a distance of at least four meters .

"Huh . We finally made it out! We need to report back to the Chambord City! Such a powerful master appeared in the territory…"

Louise took a deep breath and was about to charge forward again, but she shivered again; a shocked expression appeared on her face!

That mysterious man already appeared in front of them and blocked their way, and she didn't even detect it until now!

"Too powerful! We couldn't do anything to him!" Louise thought .

She felt very powerless, but she reacted fast . She swung her arms and threw the two boys to the left and right side of her . With a valiant expression on her face, she shouted, "Go! Don't worry about me! You must deliver the news! Tell Mr . Bast and Mr . Brook to be prepared! There is a powerful master who is hostile toward our kingdom!"

At this moment, Louise was ready to risk her life and buy time for her peers . She had to make sure that her peers could get the message out .

It didn't matter what this mysterious person's background was; Chambord had to be prepared .
"If this master really tries to attack the Chambord Castle, it would be devastating for the kingdom!" Louise thought .

As this girl was about to activate the second spell that was stored in the scroll, she was stunned again . As if a bolt of lightning was traveling through her body, her body shivered as she rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure that she didn't see illusions .
"What? Girl, you said that you are going to be my lover . Why? You don't recognize me anymore?"

Fei turned around, revealed his identity, and smiled .

"Ah! You are… Alexander? It… it is really you? King Alexander His Majesty?" Suddenly seeing the legend in Chambord and the idol of every student in the university, Louise who was a fast thinker blushed and couldn't get a full sentence out .

Pato, who was rushing back and trying to save Louise, was stunned when he got close; an overly-excited expression appeared on his face .

Brand, who bent his back and was on the run, heard Louise's gasp and froze . After he made sure that the situation was safe, he rushed back with a similar overly-excited expression .

However, after a little while, he suddenly thought of something and single-kneeled . With his head lowered and face blushed, he stuttered, "Your Majesty, I… I'm not afraid of death and wasn't trying to save my own life . I…"

When Louise threw the two boys away a second ago, they made different decisions .

Pato couldn't ditch his peer and rushed back to fight alongside Louise, but Brand didn't hesitate and decided to dash into the bushes and escape . Now, he was really nervous; he was afraid that the supreme ruler of the kingdom, his idol, would misunderstand his decision…

Fei laughed and waved his hand, and a gentle energy helped Brand off the ground . "When faced with danger, choosing to escape doesn't mean that you are a coward . Rather, it requires more bravery . Your decision might be misunderstood by others, but it is more valuable than dying alongside your peers… Haha, don't look at me like that . These are all a part of the curriculum in the university, right? I wrote all the textbooks . Eh, Brand, I know that you tried to escape because you want to get this message passed to people like Bast, just like what Louise asked you to do . "

Tears appeared in Brand's eyes .

He and Pato had different personalities . Pato was more emotional and short-tempered, but he was more cool-headed and logical . That was why they made different decisions just now .

"King Alexander His Majesty is indeed kind and wise . Also, his strength is also beyond our imaginations! Haha, we got to battle with His Majesty a little! We can show off to our classmates, and they will be so jealous!" Pato and Brand thought excitedly .

"Hehe, Alexander is just as smart and powerful as before… Eh, most importantly, he is even more handsome than before!" Louise thought to herself like Fei's little fangirl .
"Hahaha, great! Your performances sure surprised me! It looks like the Civil and Military University sure created a bunch of talents for the kingdom!" Fei was happy with what he saw . Although these three kids were different, they were talented in their own ways .

At this time, Angela and the others walked out of the pub with smiles on their faces .

"Angela! Torres!" Louise's eyes lit up as she jumped into Angela's arms . She and Angela had a great relationship; Angela always cared for this girl who lost her mother at a young age and had a father who was a little careless .

Pato and Brand could only stand on the side nervously and watch enviously .

However, they soon got excited since they saw another idol of theirs! Torres, one of the few legendary warriors of Chambord! He started as a weak young man, but he became the most trusted guard of King Alexander, and he got into the top-20 in the competition at St . Petersburg, making a name for himself .

[Son of Wind] Fernando Torres was one of the most popular names in Chambord's Civil and Military University .

Chapter 570: Murderous Intent

-On their way back to the military campsite-

The darkness had enveloped the land, and the mountains in the distance and the trees nearby all looked like black beasts .

There weren't many stars in the sky; most of them were blocked by the dark clouds in the sky, making the atmosphere a little gloomy .

Because of Louise who was a playful girl, the journey back to the campsite wasn't dull . She was funny, and the people in the group laughed regularly because of what she said .

On the way back, Louise told Angela about the changes that had occurred at Chambord, making everyone want to go back and see .

Chambord's troop hid away the flags and kept a low-profile . The camp was located beside a river that was five kilometers away from the Kelun Town .
After inspecting the town, Fei and the other four people headed back . Of course, Louise, Pato, and Brand all followed him .

As soon as they thought that they could meet the famous warriors of Chambord who made names for themselves in the competition between the affiliated kingdoms at St . Petersburg, Pato and Brand got really excited and nervous . People like [White-Haired Fast Sword] Pierce, [Black-Haired Vicious Fist] Drogba, [Desperation Creator] Oleg, and [Destructive Finger] Cech were all now extremely famous at Chambord, and students in the university all wanted to meet them . Therefore, Pato and Brand couldn't even focus on their steps .
Unlike [Fire Rose] Louise who was Pierce's daughter and met these top leaders of Chambord earlier on, Pato and Brand were from poor families . Their talents were revealed after the competition among the affiliated kingdoms, and they were enrolled in the Civil and Military University . Therefore, they had never met these famous warriors before, and that was why they were so excited .

Also, like all their peers, these two kids were super loyal and held great admirations for the king .

If Fei didn't go against a lot of people's objections and didn't use a lot of the kingdom's resources on creating this public school and funding the poor students, kids like Pato and Brand wouldn't get the opportunity to chase their dreams of becoming mages and warriors; the pressure from survival would crush them . They might not even be able to afford new clothes and good food .

It could be said that the king's decision on creating this university changed the fates of numerous poor children and their families .

They were able to chase their dreams and become powerful masters .

Just from this aspect alone, it was easy to imagine how much admiration and gratitude the kids in the university had toward Fei .

Torres could tell that these two kids were nervous, so he smiled and chatted with them, easing their minds .

[Son of Wind] Torres was a cool-headed god-tier archer who wouldn't even waver in front of powerful enemies . However, he was moved when he saw these two young boys .

Not long ago, his fate was just like these two kids'; he was from a poor family and had to worry about survival, and it was the king who changed his fate . Therefore, he felt very close to these two kids who were experiencing the same things .

Jessie and Alan who were from the Black-Cloth Shrine kept their silence .

What was happening touched their hearts .

When they saw these three talented kids and heard the changes that were happening in Chambord from this fun-loving girl named Louise, they were stunned, especially Jessie .

To be honest, he had a hard time believing it .
"How could a savage, battle-hungry, greedy, and aggressive person like the King of Chambord be able to accomplish so much unimaginable things? However, when these three kids glance at this king, that passion, confidence, and admiration… it feels similar to how believers of the Holy Church worship the Pope . "

After seeing all this, Jessie's mind started to shake .

His intuition told him that this girl was probably honest .

"Looks like Mr . Batistuta is right, and Alan is right as well . My subjective judgment blinded me, and the rules of the church constrained my mind . I wasn't really observant, and I should take this opportunity to see how good of a king Alexander really is," Jessie murmured to himself .

Suddenly, Jessie stopped thinking about those matters and paused his steps; he sensed murderous spirits in the area .

Then, he realized that the King of Chambord, who was walking in the very front, stopped as well .

Fei and Jessie were the two most powerful people in the group . Therefore, they were also the ones who discovered the hidden danger first as well .

Then, Torres and Alan sensed that something was wrong and quickly protected Angela from the left and the right .

After seeing that, Louise, Pato, and Brand who were well-trained also understood what was going on . They quickly protected Angela from the back .

The five of them protected the future queen who was the weakest in the group .

"Who is it? Get out!… Divine Sight!" Jessie slowly walked out .
Since Fei was now the unofficial bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, his identity was really prestige . Therefore, he shouldn't do everything himself . Thus, as one of the two protectors from the shrine, Jessie had to stand out .

Dashes of silver energy flames appeared, and it looked like the divine gods were blessing Jessie . A powerful aura enveloped him, and he looked like a small sun in the night, lighting up everything in the area .
Louise and her two peers were stunned . Their eyes opened wide as they thought, "Holy power! This serious-looking young man is from the Holy Church?"

They had been wondering about Jessie's identity, but they didn't expect that he was a powerful master from the Holy Church .

As the silver light radiated, a special energy dispersed into the area . Like sound waves, Jessie easily detected where the people in black were hiding and lit their locations up .

"Huh? Someone from the Holy Church?"

A gasp sounded; it felt like a person was asking his peers .

Then, five people, who were all wearing big cloaks that hid their identities, appeared around the group, surrounding them from all directions . The person standing right in front of them was tall and powerful . Right beside him, there was another person who looked a little sick; his aura seemed powerful, but his energy wasn't stable .

The person who was tall and powerful was the one who gasped, and he looked like the leader of the group . His question was directed toward the other person who looked sick .

However, the latter shook his head, telling everyone that he didn't know why either .

"Who are you?" Jessie asked in a deep voice .

He could tell that these five people who suddenly appeared were all powerful Moon-Class Elites, and they were going to be hard to deal with since they held hostility toward this group from Chambord .

Therefore, Jessie took a step forward, and a pair of huge silver wings that had a wingspan of more than 20 meters opened on his back gracefully . He adjusted his state of mind and got ready for battle .

During this entire process, Fei didn't even move; it felt like he was just a bystander .

His eyes locked onto the person who looked sick and had unstable energy .
"[Wings of Bless]?" The person in the lead was even more surprised . "You are so young, yet you have cultivated so much holy energy; it is truly rare . Young man, we are looking for the King of Chambord and not you, and we don't want to fight with someone who is from the Holy Church . You may leave now!"

It seemed like this person was afraid of the Holy Church and didn't want to touch Jessie .

"Impossible!"

Jessie flew into the air and clenched his hands . As a pair of silver light swords appeared in his hands, his silver energy wings fluttered and thrust him forward .

As a series of afterimages appeared in the air, he already dashed toward this man and struck down with his swords .

This young priest wasn't kind and generous anymore in battle; he was cold and fierce .

Boom!

That person in the lead didn't move . He raised his hand, and a bright dash of light appeared . He used one of his bare hands to handle Jessie's energy swords, and loud booming noises sounded .

After about five seconds, Jessie's body flew backward .

He didn't hurt that person at all .

That man was even more powerful than Jessie who was a top-tier Half Moon Elite .

However, that wasn't the most shocking discovery .

What shocked Jessie the most was that from the short battle, he discovered where these people were really from .

Chapter 571: 571

"You guys are from the Holy Church as well? Why are you trying to kill the King of Chambord?"

Jessie landed back on the ground and turned his body . The grasses under his feet and around him broke off and were shattered; this happened because Jessie transferred that man's energy in his body into the ground .

Although that man tried his best to hide his energy, Jessie was a devoted priest and instantly recognized the holy power; he was very sensitive to it .

"Hahaha, since you recognized this, then I can't let you go," that man laughed loudly and ripped the cloak off his body, revealing the bright silver armor underneath . It was an armor made by the Holy Church; a red cross could be clearly seen on it .

This Holy Knight looked like he was in his 40s, but his deep and sorrow eyes told everyone that he was way older than that . His body was big, and his face was in a square shape . He had a thick beard, and his facial features made him look like someone who was righteous . However, the viciousness that was in his eyes told Fei that this Holy Knight wasn't someone who was dependable .

"You are young and already have the strength of a top-tier Half Moon Elite . Also, you even mastered the tough technique, [Wings of Bless] . You are indeed a genius . However, you just had to throw yourself into this . I wanted to let you go, but it seems like that isn't going to happen," that man stared at Jessie and said sympathetically, "Young man, tell me which shrine you are from . After you die, I will send your ashes to your shrine . Then, your family could still be protected by the Holy Church!"
He sounded so sure that it felt like he was staring at a dead man .

"Black-Cloth Shrine, Jessie . " The young priest unleashed all his holy power, and an area of several kilometers around him was lit up as if it was daytime . His silver wings fluttered in the sky, and he didn't show any signs of fear .
"Huh? What did you say? Black-Cloth Shrine?" that man laughed after a short moment of pause, "Black-Cloth Shrine finally got itself a talented genius? Haha, great! I was feeling bad for destroying a genius like you, but now I'm very comfortable . Haha, a shrine like Black-Cloth should have disappeared a long time ago! Haha, after I kill you, I will send you head to that old Batistuta… I want to see his desperate expression after seeing that the most talented young man in his shrine is dead!"

As this person laughed, dashes of silver white energy dispersed into the area as if something had pre-drew all these patterns .

Not only this powerful leader, but the three people who were standing to the left, right, and behind of the group ripped their cloaks and revealed their silver armors with red crosses on them . Then, dashes of energy dispersed into the area from under their feet

The white energies dashed across the grasses, looking like white poisonous snakes .

At the same time, they looked like the marks left on the ground by a huge invisible pen .

The scene was really strange .

"This is [Templar Battle Seal]! We need to leave here! Once the four groups of silver energies combine, they will form the [Templar Battle Seal], and we will be locked inside it forever!" Jessie screamed instantly; he knew how terrifying the [Templar Battle Seal] was going to be when four Moon-Class Elites cast it .

However, Fei didn't move; it felt like he was thinking about a tough question .

Since Fei didn't move, people like Torres and Angela also didn't move .

Just in that split second, the four groups of silver energies shone even brighter, and a layer of silver holy sphere appeared . Like a half sphere, it covered an area of several square kilometers, and it was insanely firm and stable, giving off a shocking aura .

"Haha, too late! Once the [Templar Battle Seal] is placed, only Sun-Class Lords could get through," that Holy Knight laughed as he walked closer . A chilly light appeared in his eyes as he continued, "Could it be that the King of Chambord is the [God's Favorite Child] of this fallen shrine? Damn, he is good at hiding . Unfortunately, we discovered it beforehand! Before we kill him, we will kill you first, the young man from Black-Cloth Shrine!"

Whoosh!

Before he finished talking, he suddenly made his move . Like a laser beam, he suddenly got close to Jessie .
He was indeed powerful; his body created a series of air-piercing noises on its own when he used techniques .

Whoosh!

Jessie fluttered his wings and went up for the battle .

Their close-range combat took place 10 meters above the ground, and their bodies continued to move around rapidly as they attacked and defended .

The movements of their bodies were almost reaching the speed of light, and it was hard for the naked eyes to capture them, especially when the viewers were weak, such as Louise, Pato, and Brand .

They felt like there were a ton of afterimages in their visions and couldn't figure out what was real . They would sometimes scream after seeing that one party was shattered by another party before realizing that only afterimages were shattered .

The three kids had never seen any top-tier masters battle, so they were nervous seeing this fascinating battle up-close .

Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of explosion sounded, there was a sudden groaning noise .

The two people who were fighting each other in a close range separated at this moment .
The silver holy power continued to disperse into the area .

Jessie's [Wings of Bless] were on the verge of collapse, there was a streak of blood sliding down his lips, and his black robe was torn apart, revealing the white leather armor underneath .

There was a deep palm mark on the chest of that armor .

Jessie lost!

As a top-tier Half Moon Elite, he only lasted about one minute before losing the fight .

From the look of it, this Holy Knight was at least a top-tier Full Moon Elite, if not only a step away from the realm of peak Full Moon Elite .

"Little guy, your performance is over . Die!"

After one successful strike, a murderous spirit appeared in that Holy Knight's eyes . He dashed down like a hawk, and his strike was aimed at Jessie's forehead .

The severely injured young priest couldn't fight against it .

The Grim Reaper was sneering!

At this moment, Fei, who had been quietly thinking about something, made his move as if he thought everything through .

A silver fist mark dashed across the sky .

Boom!
The fist mark collided with that Holy Knight, stopping him from killing Jessie .

Then, Alan quickly ran over to help Jessie to stand up .

That Holy Knight was knocked back and landed 20 meters away from them .

He looked at Fei and laughed, "King of Chambord! Your strength has increased! Even though your strength is higher than the level documented in the report, you are still no match for me!"

However, who knew that Fei completely ignored this powerful master . Instead, Fei's eyes went past this man and landed on that figure who looked sick and had unstable energy .

"I think I know who you are . Damn… it is unexpected . Why? You still want to hide your identity?" Fei asked .

Hua!

After a short moment of silence, the only person who didn't take off his disguise finally ripped his cloak off and revealed his identity .

His hair was white and loose, his robe was old but patched up neatly, and he was wearing a pair of shoes made from cloth and straws .

The familiar face looked even older as if time passed by him a lot faster . In half a year, it felt like he aged more than a dozen years; a ton more wrinkles could be seen on his face .

His eyes that should be filled with wisdom was now filled with viciousness, and his left chest was concaved in horrifyingly as if someone punched into his heart .

A person who should be dead appeared in front of Fei .

Priest Balesi, the Moon-Class Elite who got his left chest penetrated by the spells of Fei's necromancer character, didn't die!

"Hehe, King of Chambord, aren't you surprised? You used your evil spells and penetrated my left chest; are you wondering why I'm still alive?" Balesi walked to the Holy Knight and said to Fei with hatred in his eyes, "This is unexpected, right?"

Fei laughed; his laughter people feel like beating him up .

"What are you talking about? What? Are you hallucinating or something?" Fei replied .

"Why would I admit that I was the Undead Mage who ambushed you?" Fei thought to himself . Even though he was shocked and wondered why Balesi didn't die, he wouldn't admit that he knew what had happened .

Chapter 572: 572

"You…" Balesi almost spat out a mouthful of blood .

He thought that if he showed himself, the King of Chambord would be shocked, lose his mind, and reveal his association with that assassination .

However, the king laughed calmly and firmly rejected what he said .

Balesi felt like his forceful punch landed on thin-air, and that feeling was terrible .
"Damn! What happened? Only about six months went by, and you, Priest Balesi, now look this terrible . It feels like you have aged for 40 years, and you are even balding . Huh? Why do I sense a surge of undead energy on you? Ah! Could it be that you ditched the love of the gods and turned to the evil undead magic?!" Fei said as a shocked expression appeared on his face .

He was indeed vicious to his enemies . Although he was the person who turned Balesi into this, he acted as if he knew nothing and mocked Balesi even more .

"You…" Balesi growled, "Alexander, don't try to hide! Humph! You can't fool me! I know that the person who ambushed us was you! You are a born evil genius, and you dared to sneak-attack [God's Favorite Child] Mr . Kaka . You should be burned alive on a cross! Hehe, today is your death day! Doesn't matter what you say, you are dead!" Balesi was so mad that he looked like a devil .

Ever since he was severely injured, this priest, who used to look kind and gentle on the surface, changed . Perhaps it was because that the death energy inside his body tortured him, he got short-tempered, no longer calculative, and looked vicious . It felt like he had gone mad .
Fei carefully observed Balesi in detail and realized that a master, who had a ton of holy power, probably helped this priest to heal . However, the purest form of undead energy, death energy, couldn't be expelled by ordinary holy power . Only the Pope of the Holy Church could do that . However, why would the lord of the Holy Church waste his time and energy on a little priest who was barely on the realm of Moon-Class?

Therefore, Balesi turned into this; he looked like a half ghost .

He had to endure the pain caused by the collision of death energy and holy power in his body every second .

After hearing Balesi's words, Fei laughed joyously .

"What are you saying? I don't understand . I'm a [God's Favorite Child] and obtained golden holy power . How can I be an evil undead mage? Priest Balesi, are you trying to defame me and challenge the honor of the gods?" Fei tried to provoke his opponent as much as he could so that he could figure out how much Balesi knew .

"Whatever, Balesi . More talking isn't necessary . King of Chambord, don't fight back anymore . Even if you are a [God's Favorite Child], you will be killed!" that powerful holy knight saw through Fei's tricks and interrupted as a cold smile appeared on his face .

"Hehehehehe . Also, we could capture this girl named Angela . I already said that she has the purest soul . Hehehehehe . Once we capture her, we can use a secret technique to wipe her memories . Then, she would be the best medium for us to communicate with the gods! Hahaha!" a wicked smile appeared on Balesi's face as he laughed; he was truly demon-like .

"The longer it goes, the more potential troubles . Let's move and kill him!"

"Hahaha! Even a Sun-Class Lord would have a hard time trying to break away from the [Templar Battle Seal]! Haha, King of Chambord, you are only a small character . If you kill yourself now, you don't need to suffer the pain!"

"Hehe, Taylor, why are you talking to this little king so much? Let's kill everyone except that woman!"

"Humph! He is just a little king who got lucky! How dare he resist the order of the Holy Church?"

On the other three sides, the three powerful holy knights unleashed their silver holy power . The dashes of energy flowed around the [Templar Battle Seal], blocking off the contact with the outside world . Also, under its effect, the holy knights looked even more powerful and more dominating .

"Being able to die under the [Templar Battle Seal] cast by four masters from the Shiye Shrine, you should be honored!"

"Hehe, if we aren't afraid of you escaping, we won't put so much effort into this…"

"Kid, I can kill you with only one finger!"

These three holy knights approached Fei slowly yet steadily, and they had arrogant expressions on their faces . They continued to say things and tried to provoke Fei; they enjoyed the feeling of overpowering their opponents with their words alone .

Fei sneered .

He ignored these holy knights and turned around to face the three students from Chambord's Civil and Military University .

"Do you also think that they are very annoying?" he asked with a smile .
Pato and Brand were stunned, and they nodded nervously .

"Then, are you guys scared?" Fei asked .
"No!" this time, all three of them replied firmly without hesitation .

Actually, they were a little scared . After all, the name, Holy Church, was pressing, and Jessie who was a powerful master in their eyes even got defeated easily .

Even though they heard that their king was mighty, the enemies had the numbers advantage .

"Could he stop all of them?" they thought .

As if he saw through their expressions and knew their worries, he patted their heads and said with a smile, "Look closely! Today, I will let you know how powerful your king really is! After today, you will all know that Chambord is invincible!"

Before Fei finished speaking, a layer of mystic flames appeared around him .

[Immortal King's Soul Cage – Sacred Armor] enveloped Fei's body, and all the metal components covered the vital spots, making him look like an iron battle beast .

A holy yet barbaric aura surrounded him .

"[Immortal King's Stone Crusher]! Show yourself!"

Fei didn't wait for these holy knights to approach him . Instead, he dashed forward and took the initiative to attack . He targeted that burly and most powerful holy knight in front of him .

Right before he got to this opponent, he clenched his hands and leaped into the air . Then, a huge monstrous war hammer appeared in his hand .

"[Leap Attack]!"

With his hands on the hammer, Fei smashed down with all his might .

"What?!… No!"

This holy knight, who had a mocking smile on his face, got shocked when he saw the hammer in Fei's hands .

He sensed an intense danger from this huge hammer, and all the hair on his body stood up .

When he thought of dodging, it was already too late .

As the hammer smashed down, he felt like the entire sky was falling onto him .
The energy of this attack enveloped him, and he couldn't do anything but to punch out to counter it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crack!

"Eh… Puff!" this holy knight backed off instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood . At the same time, all the bones in his arms got turned into small chunks .

The power of [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] was demonstrated thoroughly . Even though this holy knight was close to the realm of peak Full Moon, he was severely injured and might not be able to recover .

Fei had been killing monsters in Diablo World every day, and his strength was increasing rapidly .

People who saw this scene all froze .

Louise, Pato, and Brand were so excited that their bodies shivered; they felt like crying .

"This is our king! This is our idol! He is invincible!" they couldn't hold back their emotions, so they started shouting, "Hail the king!"

The other three holy knights were terrified .

Chapter 573

"He defeated a top-tier Full Moon Elite with only one hammer strike! How?" the other three holy knights shivered as soon as they thought about that .

They knew the holy knight, who got destroyed by the King of Chambord, too well .

They didn't expect that the No . 1 Moon-Class Elite in the most prominent shrine in the Northern Regional Church, the Shiye Shrine, to be severely injured by someone who was a lot weaker than him! After all, this man was the Moon-Class Elite who was the closest to the realm of Sun-Class in the Shiye Shrine .

"Quick! Use the power of the [Templar Battle Seal]! Use it to torture him!"

As soon as his arms were destroyed, the pain instantly told this burly holy knight that he made a huge mistake in judgment . He used the last little bit of logic he had in his mind and made the best decision .

In this situation where the power dynamic between the two parties switched, the only chance they had was to use the [Templar Battle Seal] to fight the King of Chambord who was much more powerful than they expected . Otherwise, even though the other three holy knights were great masters, they weren't strong enough to handle the King of Chambord's hammer .
As soon as the burly holy knight said that, the other three holy knights already injected their holy power into the [Templar Battle Seal] .

They had been fighting alongside each other for a long time, and they could coordinate with each other perfectly; it was almost an instinct of theirs .
Silver holy runes intertwined with each other and formed many vein-like branches . As if they had minds of their own, they wriggled on the grasses and coiled toward Fei .

Then, a series of holy and purifying chants resonated inside the battle seal; it sounded like gods were muttering and angels were singing .

There was a unique power inside this sound, affecting people's souls . Like a lullaby, it would lower the battle-hungriness, awareness, and resistance of their opponents, giving the holy knights the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to their enemies .

As if the chants were magical, they ignored other people and all went inside Fei's ears .

Soon, Fei stood still and closed his eyes; it looked like he was mesmerized by the 'music' .

Then, the huge war hammer in his hands was slowly lowered to the ground .

Dashes of silver flames climbed up Fei's body like greedy blood-sucking veins through his legs as well as the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] . Each one of the flames was a holy rune chain . They all contained natural laws, locking Fei down completely . In the end, except for Fei's head, his entire body was tied up by them . He was wrapped by white flames, and he looked like the prey of a spider that was packed by white spider webs .

"Hahahaha! I will torture you myself!… Hahaha, King of Chambord, you are done! Ever since you were locked inside this [Templar Battle Seal], your death was unavoidable! Although your strength is far beyond our estimation, the result will be the same!" that burly holy knight shouted; his arms were now soft and dangling off his shoulders

Beside him, Balesi was trying to help him heal as he chanted a spell and released his holy power .

"His Majesty… he…" Louise, Pato, and Brand all got nervous for Fei again .

The changes in the battle happened too fast, and it made these three kids very anxious . They felt like their hearts were in their throats, ready to jump out of their mouths at any second . In addition, they were so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe .

The scale of victory was slowly tilting toward these holy knights and Balesi .

"Hehehehe… you are dead!" Balesi's vicious and ear-piercing laugh sounded as he stared at Fei with hatred .
"Capture him! I will cut off his arms slowly piece by piece! I will let him experience the feeling of wanting to die but can't die!"

With his arms destroyed, that burly holy knight was in a lot of pain, and his face twisted . His righteous facial features now looked vicious and wicked under the light of the silver holy power!

That unique, god-muttering-like chant became clearer and clearer . It could destroy anyone's resistance!

The terrifying holy runes started to work toward Fei's head…

The other holy knights finally calmed down, and they felt relieved . The anxious and nervous expressions on their faces turned vicious, and they already started to fantasize about what they could do to the King of Chambord once he was captured .

"Damn, this is disappointing! Is this the so-called [Templar Battle Seal]?" Fei suddenly opened his eyes and asked . His eyes were so clear that it didn't look like he was affected by that chanting at all .

"What?" the holy knights were shocked; they realized that stuff was about to go down .
"Eh, the so-called [Templar Battle Seal] is just average . I am disappointed by its power . How come you guys thought that it could constrain me?" as the king shouted, red dots started to appear on the silver holy runes that wrapped around his body as if they were being stained by something . Soon, all the silver holy runes were turned completely red!

"This is… murderous spirit! Such a terrifying amount of murderous spirit! Only the God of Killing who had killed millions of creatures could obtain such a terrifying murderous spirit!" That burly holy knight and Balesi were dumbfounded . "This… how is this possible? The King of Chambord is only a young man who is about 18 years old! How… how could he kill so many creatures and take so many lives?"
Boom!

The red flames around Fei's body turned into a light beam, and it shot into the sky and collided with the energy sphere created by the [Templar Battle Seal] . The huge energy waves even made the ground shake violently .

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The holy runes that wrapped Fei up tightly broke and shattered like dried leaves after they changed color . Under the impact of the energy waves, they turned into dust before disappearing .

"You… you didn't dodge because you want to test the power of the [Templar Battle Seal]? You… this is crazy…" Balesi couldn't even place a full sentence together . Fei left a nightmare in his mind already, and he was now on the verge of mental collapse after the plan he was so sure of fell apart .

"It is too late now! You wasted too much time, and I should put an end to all of this!"

As Fei's cold and murderous voice sounded, the hammer in his hands moved . As if Fei mastered the shadow clone technique, people who were watching felt like Fei turned into three as three shadows rushed toward three different directions .

"No!"

"Save me!"

"You can't kill me! I'm from the Holy Church… AH!"

Three horrifying screams sounded from the left, right, and back . At the same time, those three shadows didn't hesitate or show mercy . Three hammers were waved, and three cracking noises sounded .

As if three eggs were smashed by rocks, these three holy knights who were all Half Moon Elites exploded, and three clouds of blood mist appeared alongside with chipped bones and torn flesh…

Then, those three shadows of the King of Chambord disappeared slowly .
Fei was still standing in his old spot, and it seemed like he didn't even move .

Shadow clone technique?

No!

It was just that Fei's speed was too fast, and he left a series of afterimages in the air . He attacked each of the holy knights individually, but his insane speed couldn't be caught by ordinary people . Therefore, it created an illusion, making people feel like he mastered the shadow clone technique .

The silver holy runes started to disappear, and the silver energy sphere that enveloped the area faded and collapsed .

After those three holy knights died, there wasn't enough holy power supporting this [Templar Battle Seal] . Therefore, one of the ten punishment battle arrays of the Holy Church got countered .

Chapter 574: 574

"You… this… you…" this burly holy knight was stunned; he almost couldn't speak .

He couldn't understand the amount of murderous spirit that this young man released .

"He was suppressed by the power of the [Templar Battle Seal], but he suddenly broke loose . Even if he started killing people and beasts as soon as he was born, he couldn't have killed tens of millions of creatures in just 18 years . How could he have an amount of murderous spirit similar to the infamous killers on the continent?" he thought .

There was no way for him to know that Fei's murderous spirit came from Diablo World and not the Azeroth Continent .

Ever since the discovery of Diablo World, Fei had killed at least more than 100,000 monsters . However, these monsters weren't ordinary creatures but demons from hell! They were powerful and murderous, literally the synonym for viciousness and cruelness .

On top of that, Fei had killed bosses in the Normal Mode such as Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, and Baal . They were powerful demons and could be considered as deities and gods in hell . By killing them, Fei was killing gods!
After killing so many powerful demons and even the deities in hell, the amount of murderous spirit Fei accumulated could be even turned into tangible objects!

However, the murderous spirit was insanely powerful, able to harm the soul of anyone who was close to him . That was why Fei rarely used his murderous spirit in the real world . However, since he was sneak attacked by these masters of the Shiye Shrine from the Northern Holy Church, he had to use it .
Fei knew his paladin character well . As a result, he understood holy power and figured out its kryptonite .

There were only two things that could counter the holy power that originated from the gods – death energy and murderous spirit .

At the moment, Jessie and Alan were present, so Fei didn't want to reveal to them that he obtained death energy . Therefore, he could only resort to his murderous spirit .

Although the murderous spirit wasn't as effective at destroying the holy power as the death energy, it was more than enough from this experiment .

After testing it out, Fei now had another way of dealing with the masters of the Holy Church on top of using his necromancer character . It was a lot safer for him .

On top of everything else, there was still that mysterious stone pillar inside his body . Therefore, Fei didn't even need to worry about Sun-Class Lords, let alone these mid-tier Half Moon Elites and their [Templar Battle Seal] .

For the last while, Fei had been thinking about improving the combat abilities of the warriors of Chambord, and he focused on battle arrays . If he could create a battle array that could be used by several Moon-Class Elites, they might be able to defend against a Sun-Class Lord . Then, even if Fei wasn't at Chambord, the top leaders at Chambord could deal with Sun-Class Lords and protect the kingdom .

Therefore, after seeing the [Templar Battle Seal], Fei decided to place himself in danger and let [Templar Battle Seal], one of the ten punishment battle arrays of the Holy Church, touch him . He wanted to have a clearer understanding of how the energy operated inside this array, and he wondered if he could copy the key points and modify them into something that he could use .

Overall, what Fei got out of it was worth the risk .

"Damn! Damn it! Go! Let's go! Retreat!"

After the initial shock, that burly holy knight woke up and screamed . He turned around and dashed away as his body turned into a beam of light; he was going to disappear into afar soon .

Now, he understood that the King of Chambord was acting weak, but his actual strength was far beyond them . Just the power hidden in that huge war hammer was more than what he could deal with! If that hammer came down on him, he would be killed .

Balesi, on the other hand, lost his confidence and dashed away as well without making a sound .
How could Fei let them get away?

"Hahaha! You guys came with domination, but you are running away with tails between your legs? It is too late! Just stay!" Fei waved his hand, and a green scroll shot out, turning into a dash of silver light . It soon caught up with that burly holy knight who was retreating .

"What is this?… Damn it!" that holy knight shouted .

As soon as that beam of light caught up, it turned into a transparent bubble and locked him up; it looked just like one of those bubbles created by a playful child with dish soap but just more massive and stronger .

The bubble looked weak since the layer was thinner than paper, but it blocked off everything . It didn't matter how much that burly holy knight tried to break free; he couldn't damage this bubble for one bit . In the end, the bubble slowly floated back and landed in front of Fei .

By now, Fei already flew out and returned .

In his hand, it was Priest Balesi who was pale and had a resentful expression .
All of the five masters of the Shiye Shrine, the most prominent shrine in the Northern Regional Church, were either killed or captured . On Fei's side, except for Jessie who was injured, no one else was harmed .

Torres was already used to this .
Fei's most trusted guard had the confidence in the king, and he felt like there was nothing that the king couldn't conquer . After all, he had seen similar cases multiple times .

However, Louise, Pato, and Brand had never seen it before!

Before, they only heard about how powerful their king was from their instructors and other residents . However, even the best poems and descriptions couldn't give them a vivid impression . Now, they finally saw it happen with their own eyes!

The shock they experienced when witnessing their king's domination in battle made them admire Fei even more . They saw him as an idol before, but they felt like worshipping him now .

They were so impressed that their minds ignored the fact that Fei destroyed three Moon-Class Elites of the Holy Church easily! This news would stun the entire Zenit Empire!

"It was too fast, and the video quality isn't high . However, it is still enough to show off to our classmates! Haha! I have recorded His Majesty's presence in battle, and it is one of a kind!" Louise, who was clever, already recorded what took place with a divy crystal .

The nightly wind blew by, and it was chilly .

The residual holy power dispersed into the area before turning into its elemental form and dissolving into the air .

"King of Chambord, you will regret this . Hehe, don't think that you will win again! You are already the target for the Shiye Shrine and the Bishop of the Northern Reginal Church, Mr . Platini . You will be burned alive on a cross sooner or later! Your luck won't be this good all the time… Hehehe, I curse you, your loved ones, and the people you value . I hope the important people in your life all die in front of you . The kingdom that you try to protect dearly will also be turned into a forbidden land filled with skeletons…"

Balesi knew that his end was near, and he wasn't hoping that he could live .

Therefore, with his hoarse and dry voice, he screamed and cursed . His words were vicious, and his tone was chilling, making people shiver in fear .

Before he could finish, his body got instantly enveloped by a cloud of blood mist . Blood flowed out of his eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears, and the wicked smile on his face froze . Then, his head fell back; he was dead .

He chose to kill himself .
For the last while, the holy power and the death energy had been fighting in his body, torturing him on a daily basis . Now that Fei captured him, he had no hope in getting revenge . Therefore, this priest who was vicious to others and also vicious to himself decided to commit suicide .

Just the second before he lost his consciousness, he thought back to the night at Chambord's campsite near St . Petersburg half a year ago .

A strange thought appeared in his head, "If I can turn back time, I wouldn't have made the King of Chambord into my enemy because of that girl named Angela…"

Fei sneered and didn't say anything .

He squatted down and placed his palm on Balesi's corpse; he only calmed down after making sure that this priest was 100% dead this time .

At the same time, Fei made a discovery .

A strange expression appeared on his face as he murmured to himself in a low voice that only he could hear, "No wonder… I punctured through his left chest last time, and that damage to the heart would even kill a Sun-Class Lord . He lived because his heart was grown on the right side of his chest . This rare condition saved him!"

Chapter 575: 575

This time, Balesi was completely dead .

The miracle couldn't occur again, and he couldn't survive this .

Fei checked Balesi's corpse carefully, and he found that all the critical magic energy channels and connections in his body shattered . Balesi's body condition was in bad shape to begin with since Fei's necromancer character's curses messed him up . If his holy power didn't reach Moon-Class, he would have died a long time ago .

Therefore, committing suicide was a way for him to free himself from all the pain and suffering .

Fei thought about it and punched on the ground to create a huge pit . Then, he wiped out the marks he left on Balesi's corpse, and he threw the corpse into the pit . Then, he waved his hand and pushed the remains of the other three holy knights into the pit as well . He cleaned the battlefield well, and no traces could be found .

On the other hand, the burly holy knight who was imprisoned by the bubble-like energy sphere finally stopped struggling .
This sphere was thin, but it was extremely firm; it was an item created by Akara and Cain . They studied the semi-godly runes that were locking [Demon King's Wisdom] in the mysterious stone room, and they used the imprisonment effect of the runes in this scroll . Even a Sun-Class Lord might not be able to destroy it, let alone this holy knight whose arms were broken .

"You better let me go . Otherwise, Chambord will be destroyed!" this burly holy knight said coldly in a threatening tone . He had calmed down already, and vicious and crazy lights were flashing in his eyes .
Fei sneered and slapped his face twice .

As broken teeth and ripped flesh flew out of his mouth, this burly holy knight's face swelled up like a half-rotten peach .

"You… How dare you shame me like this? Do you know who I am? In front of me, Chris, even…"

After being slapped, this burly holy knight named Chris lost his mind . This man who was known as the No . 1 Moon-Class Elite in the Shiye Shrine lost his cool, and he shouted angrily like a hyena that got its partner taken away during mating .

Pia! Pia!

Fei responded with two more slaps .

Chris felt like his ears were buzzing loudly after that . He was in a lot of pain, and he was enraged . The fact that he couldn't do anything in respond drove him nuts, and he fainted as a result .

Fei was too lazy to talk to him . He reached into the energy sphere and grabbed onto Chris' shoulder .

A destructive energy rushed into Chris' body .

After a series of crackling noise, all of the energy channels and connections in his body were locked, and his holy power was gone .

Then, Fei turned around and looked at Louise, Pato, and Brand . At the moment, these three kids were looking at him as if he was a god . He said to Pato and Brand, "Help me carry this idiot back to the campsite . Give him to Oleg and ask Oleg to open this idiot's mouth and get all the relevant information . "

As he said that, he put away [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] .

Tonight, it was the first time that this war hammer showed itself in this world, and its power was unbelievable . Fei's real strength was somewhere around mid-tier Half Moon, and he was a distance away from Chris . However, with this war hammer in his hands, he could destroy this top-tier Full Moon Elite within ten strikes… That feeling was divine!
This hammer was going to drink a lot of blood of Fei's powerful enemies, and tonight was its first feast .

…

When Fei and the group returned to the campsite, it was already midnight .

The burly holy knight, Chris, was given to Oleg to handle .

Therefore, almost everyone in the campsite heard the desperate and beast-like screams sounding from Oleg's gloomy tent; those noises didn't sound like the noises made by humans, and all creatures stayed at least ten meters away from that tent .

-The next day morning-

Red-eyed Oleg gave a detailed report to the king .

Fei read it carefully, thought for a while, and flicked his wrist, turning the report into a cloud of powder . The cloud of powder soon dispersed into the area after being blown by the spring wind .

The king nodded and said to this flatterer pleasantly, "Not bad!"

The courage, persistence, and loyalty this fatty showed when fighting with Tony and Snow Mountain Hermit left a deep impression on everyone's mind . Although he was still a big-time flatterer, Fei's opinion of him got even better .

"It is my honor to serve you . " This flatterer was thrilled after getting the king's compliment .
"Eh… there are always people in the world who believe they are in control of everything . If you don't hit them and let them feel the pain, they could think that you are an easy target, and they would want to bully you… Balesi is such a snake . Although he is dead, he had already successfully ignited the greed in some people's minds, posing a great threat to Chambord… Hehe, the Shiye Shrine? Bishop Platini? Great! Since you guys want to plot against me, then I guess it is meant to be . As the bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, I'm going to be lighting the first fire on you!" Fei thought as he slowly walked out of the central tent and looked up at the sun in the sky .

At the moment, the sun was slowly rising from the eastern sky .
Oleg followed the king . He was always interested in figuring out his lord, and he knew Fei's personality too well . Therefore, when he overheard the king's murmurs, he somehow felt like the warm spring breeze was a bit chilly, and he subconsciously thought of a terrifying scene where only mountains of corpses and burning flames could be seen .

"Let's move out! Increase the traveling speed, and let's try to get back to the Chambord Castle before tomorrow's sunset," Fei shouted .

…

During noon of the next day, the troop finally stepped into the old territory of Chambord .

Many warriors and soldiers howled and cried as soon as they stepped into their homeland .

Half a year wasn't that long, but a lot of events occurred . They followed their king to the Capital of Zenit for the competition between affiliated kingdoms before going to the Jax Battle Zone; they went through battles and earned the honor .

A lot of them thought that they would never get to see their home again once they stepped onto the battlefield, but they were willing to fight for and serve their king .

Their king didn't fail them .

They left with 318 people, and they returned with 318 people . Not a single member of Chambord was killed in battle; it was a miracle .

By now, some soldiers already kneeled and kissed the green grassland, murmuring their family members' names; they had never been so homesick . They felt like they could see the Chambord Castle that was at the foot of the huge mountains .

"Look! The scouts from the kingdom!"

On a hill not too far away, they saw three cavaliers riding on three roaring flame beasts . The cavalier in the lead was holding a flag that had an image of a two-headed dog with an ax and a blade in each mouth, and it was fluttering in the wind .

It was clear that they were the scouts of Chambord .
The people in the Chambord City knew that the king and the troop were returning, and Bast and Brook sent out scouts to the path that they would be taking . A scout went back to report, and the other three proceeded forward to greet their king .

Whoosh!

A magic arrow was shot across the sky, leaving a temporary image of a two-headed dog in the air .

This was the newest way of communication between the armed forces of Chambord .

"Your Majesty!"

The three cavaliers quickened the roaring flame beasts, and they quickly approached Fei like three red clouds .

Then, they jumped off their mounts gracefully, single-kneeled, and saluted at Fei .

They finally met the great lord of the kingdom . As a result, these three scouts were extremely excited . Their voices were shaking, and they stared at Fei with admiration . Compared with Louise, Pato, and Brand, these scouts showed even more respect .

In Chambord, Fei was the god in the citizens' minds

Chapter 576: The Return of The Heroes (2)

When the troop got close to the city, it was already sunset . The sunlight dyed everything into gold .

Standing on [The Throne of Chaos] that was placed on Blacky's back, Fei looked at the newly renovated and upgraded Chambord Castle as the chilly night wind fluttered his hair .

The first thing that came into his field of vision was the wide river .

The Zuli River didn't change as it blocked off the outside world from the Chambord Castle, and water vapor could be seen above the surface of the 1,000 meters wide, fast-current river .

The stone bridge that had been there for thousands of years was now replaced .

It was the only way for the Chambordians to come and go from the city, but Fei broke it apart when the black-armored enemies tried to siege the city . After that war, an iron suspension bridge was put in place to connect the two sides of the broken stone bridge, and it was easy to use .
Now, this stone bridge was completely replaced .

Fei only broke about 20 meters of the bridge, and that gap was now extended to almost 1,000 meters . Only two small portions of the stone bridge were kept on the two banks of the river, symbolizing the once existed stone bridge .
A massive warship replaced the stone bridge .

This ship was about 100 meters long, 20 meters wide, and the portion of the ship that was out of the water was about ten meters tall . Like a building on the river, it floated on the fast-current river steadily .

This ship's style was completely different from the ships that were seen on this continent . There were no sails on it, and there was no center wooden beam as well . All the fancy decorations and engravings were omitted .

Except for the ram of the ship which was shaped like a unicorn, nothing else on the ship was sharp or pointing outward . Its surface was very smooth, making it look like a whale that was resting on an ocean .

To outsiders, this ship looked weird and couldn't go far; it was more like the creation of an inexperienced ship maker .

However, Fei knew what this ship was capable of .

It was based on the blueprint of a demon ship from the Mythical Era where the gods and the demons were at war, and this blueprint was recorded in [Demon King's Wisdom] .

This ship in the Zuli River was almost a complete replica of that ancient ship, and it had all the bells and whistles from the ancient magic technology . Instead of wind, it was powered by pure magic energy . It had insane combat ability and could submerge into the water and become a submarine .

In the Mythical Era, this type of ships that were known as 'Reserve Whale Warships' dominated the waterways on the continent . Although these ships weren't ranked in the top-ten warships during their times, they were still the main ships that made up the mid-tier fleets of the demons' navy forces .

Fei didn't expect that Cain and Akara were able to create such a ship in just half a year .

With this ship guarding the Zuli River, that stone bridge was no longer necessary . This ship's transportation ability was enough to move people and things from Chambord to the outside world and vice versa .

The troop was getting closer and closer to the city .

Soon, the soldiers and warriors all saw the city's defense wall .
Under the sunshine, the bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas were shocked to find that the city had changed drastically, no longer fitting the images in their memories .

First of all, although the shape of the black defense wall didn't change, the surface was cleaned . After years of getting rained on and blown on, there were a ton of mosses and fungus growing on the defense wall . Now, the defense wall was in a shiny silver color, corresponding to the golden sunshine . It felt like someone plated a layer of silver on top, and it looked brand-new .

Then, the soldiers realized that the city gate was completely gone!

This city was now a city without an entrance .

"Huh? No gate? Does everyone need to go in and out of the city using ropes?" the soldiers and warriors were surprised, and they thought back to the scene where the king and 23 strongmen got off the defense wall using ropes before charging at the black-armored enemies .

The closer they got to the castle, the more changes they saw .

Suddenly, loud cheers and clapping sounded from the other side of the river; it was so loud that the noises made by the fast-current Zuli River couldn't even be heard .

Outside of the defense wall, there was a big crowd of excited people standing there and waiting . Despite their various backgrounds and social statuses, they were all citizens of Chambord, and they all came out of the city to welcome their king and their military's return voluntarily .

When Blacky's mountain-like body appeared on the horizon, the citizens of Chambord couldn't hold back their excitement, and they all started to cheer . Some of them soon lost their voices, but they didn't care; they continued to make noises .

Through the thin clouds of water vapor, a lot of women and elders who had tears in their eyes saw familiar faces and figures .

"Mommy, why are you crying?" a boy who was about three years old looked at his mother with his big eyes and asked, "Oh, I know! Daddy is coming home, right?"

"Yes, my child . Look! Your daddy is next to those uncles of yours! Remember! Your daddy is strong and is a hero! A hero of Chambord! He followed our great king, Alexander His Majesty, and he brought back great honor for our king, our kingdom, and our family…" the mother pointed at the troop that was on the other side of the river, kissed this boy's cheek, and said proudly; her face was full of tears .

"Oh, I will remember . Mommy, who is King Alexander? Is he also a great hero like Daddy?"
"Eh, my child . Remember, Alexander His Majesty is the greatest king in the world! He is a true lord! When you grow up, you need to grab a weapon and protect His Majesty and our home just like you daddy! It will be an honor for every child at Chambord!"

…
After stepped on this reserve whale warship named [King Alexander], Fei was showered in the loud cheers coming from the other side .

Strategist Old Aryang dismissed the formation, and the soldiers and warriors could no longer suppress their excitement . They all rushed to the edges of the deck, waved their weapons at the crowd on the other side of the river, and tried to spot their family members and loved ones!

Even a real man would cry in this atmosphere .

When they left their homes, most of them were low farmers of a level 6 affiliated kingdom . They weren't experienced in battle, and they were looked down upon by others . At the time, they were hopeful toward the future of Chambord, and they were also a little fearful of the unknown . In the long nights, all of them had prayed again and again, hoping that the gods would favor Chambord . Even if they had to die, they wanted to die in front of Chambord so that they could kiss the land that raised them and see their loved ones one last time .

Now, they were warriors and heroes of a level 1 affiliated kingdom, and they had been through many battles . Wherever they went, they were greeted with cheers, applause, and flowers .

These righteous and brave men couldn't wait to share this honor with their families . After all, they were a part of Chambord's rise .

[King Alexander] was powered by magic energy, so its traveling speed wasn't slow . It went from one side of the river to the other side in less than five minutes .

When the ship reached the other side, several wide wooden boards were extended from the deck and connected with the river bank automatically, forming a pathway .

At this moment, the citizens of Chambord rushed by the bylaw enforcement officers who were trying to keep order, and the soldiers and warriors on the ship jumped over the railings . The two large crowds of people merged like a flood .

"Oh, dear! You came back! You are back alive! Thank god! I'm not dreaming, right?"

"My child, say daddy! He is your daddy! When he left, you couldn't even speak yet…"

"Waah… dad, you are finally back! I missed you…"

"Hahahah! Kid, you grew taller, stronger, and darker . How was it following Alexander His Majesty? You didn't bring shame to me, Old Nick, right? If I hear from your comrades that you had slacked off in battle, I will break your legs!"
"Sister, don't worry; this wound healed a long time ago . Hehehe, it is the proof of your brother's bravery and honor! Alexander His Majesty personally praised me! See this? This is the badge of bravery that His Majesty gave me! I'm one of the few who got it! Hehe, a lot of my comrades are jealous of me!"

Hugs, cheers, tears, kisses…

This area in front of the city turned into a boiling sea of people; the atmosphere was so bright that it felt like a volcano had erupted .

Chapter 577: 577

Fei stood on the deck of [King Alexander] and quickly got pushed aside by the emotional crowd . Under the protection of a few bylaw enforcement officers, he slowly walked to his future father-in-law, Bast, and the military leader, Brook, who were walking toward him as well .

"You arrived earlier than we expected…" Bast fixed his hair and clothes before smiling and patting Fei's shoulder . He was really pleased with this future son-in-law of his .

Although only half a year past by, Bast aged a lot . His hair turned whiter, and he got a lot thinner . Even though he seemed energetic, the fatigue couldn't be hidden .

Fei felt a little guilty .

While Fei led the troop of Chambord and battled enemies, all the administrative duties and tasks were handled by Bast and only a few other people . The Chambord Kingdom was in a little chaotic state to begin with, and there were a lot of things to fix . On top of that, there was the reconstruction and renovation project . There was a lot of work to be done, and people like Bast and Brook had been working tirelessly for the last while .

"Dad!"
A surprised shout sounded, and Angela dashed past Fei to hug her father . In her lifetime, she had never been away from her father for this long . Therefore, she missed him dearly .

"Brook, thanks for the hard work . "
Fei said as he looked at Brook who had been following him for the longest time .

This man who was burly and muscular was now almost as thin as a spear, and he looked tired as well . The bags under his eyes were big, and it looked like he hadn't had a good night sleep in a while .

Since he spent a lot of time on managing the tasks in the kingdom, his cultivation strength didn't improve that much . Even though his body was reformed by the [Hulk Potion], and Fei recreated a cultivation technique for him, he hadn't reached the Five-Star level yet . Currently, he was a top-tier Four-Star Warrior .

Compared with his peers who started serving the king around the same time, he was one of the weakest .

Even Torres, who was a weak and powerless young man back then, was now a mid-tier Eight-Star Warrior who had an insane archery skill .

However, despite all that, Brook was one of the most non-replaceable subordinates that Fei had .

Fei felt guilty toward this man .

He knew that Brook's talent was better than people like Torres and Drogba . If he were given the same amount of resources and weren't distracted by the administrative tasks, he might have became a Moon-Class Elite already .

"It is my honor to serve Your Majesty and the kingdom!" Brook was very excited to see the king again; his voice was even shivering a little . Currently, he was wearing the same armor that he wore when he fought the black-armored enemies alongside Fei; it was very symbolic .

As this man was about to single-kneel, Fei quickly walked up and stopped him .

The king didn't say anything; he only patted Brook's shoulder .

At this moment, the overly-excited citizens of Chambord finally noticed their king .

Tens of thousands of citizens kneeled and worshipped their great and unique lord!
"Hail the king!"

"Long live Alexander His Majesty!"

The chants and cheers of tens of thousands of people sounded louder than a tsunami, and Fei felt a unique sense of accomplishment when showering in it . He earned it all by himself! The journey from an idiot king who was hated by his citizens to a great ruler who was worshipped by his people wasn't easy, and Fei worked hard to obtain it .

Hazel Bank and Jessie, who represented darkness and brightness respectively, stood behind Fei quietly .

The Undead Mage had stabilized his Sun-Class Realm, and he now had complete control of his aura . Even without the god-fooling badges, Jessie who was standing about a meter away couldn't detect Hazel Bank's real identity . If this mage weren't in battle, others wouldn't be able to tell that he was an undead mage .

Although Jessie was severely injured in battle not long ago, one of the unique abilities of the holy power was to heal people . Jessie was an outstanding priest; as long as he wasn't dead, he could recover from any severe external injuries in a day or so .

Even though the Undead Mage had lived for hundreds of years and saw a lot of big events and the Priest experienced a variety of emotions during his ascetic lifestyle, they both felt strange hearing the loud cheers coming from tens of thousands of people .

These two people were all unique in their own ways, and they could see through people . They saw the crazy passion and admiration in these people's eyes, and they could tell that it was a strong power . Once ignited, these citizens would be willing to do anything to help their king defeat their enemies .

The two masters of different backgrounds got the same first impression of Chambord .
…

This celebration ended after about 40 minutes had passed .
According to the plan set by Bast and others, there was going to be a grand celebration in the evening, officially welcoming the king and the military's return .

When people got to the foot of the defense wall, a series of chanting and metal gear-gliding sounds appeared . Then, a portal-like light gate appeared in front of everyone . After it sounded like a metal fence was pulled up, the people started to walk into the light gate and were instantly teleported into the city .

The soldiers and warriors who just returned were all surprised and understood why there was no gate anymore; this teleportation mechanism took care of everything .

This mechanism was a simple short-distance teleportation array that was also recorded in [Demon King's Wisdom] . In the Mythical Era, this array was commonly used; even small villages used it . However, as that era came to an end, most of the magic technologies went extinct .

Akara and Cain consulted [Demon King's Wisdom] and recreated such a teleportation array, upgrading Chambord's defense .

Standing on [The Throne of Chaos] that was placed on Blacky's back, Fei and Angela traveled through the familiar yet strange streets .

The Chambord Castle was huge to begin with .

The Chambordians didn't create it; instead, it was an ancient city from previous eras that was discovered by the ancestors of the Chambordians . The design of the city was beyond Chambord's current knowledge and capabilities, and this half reconstruction and half renovation project made the city feel brand-new .

Fei could tell that the Chambord Castle underwent some significant changes .

Every 100 meters or so, there would be a secret location with a ton of magic energy surge, and the magic energy surge in the city was several times more powerful compared with before . Huge magic arrays protected every region of the city; there were a total of nine small altars and 36 magic towers that were more than ten meters tall . Magic engravings connected everything, offering Chambord its own unique magic defense system .

With this new defense system, if there were enough magic energy, the black-armored enemies wouldn't be able to get a speck of dust off the defense wall of Chambord in 50 years .

Except for the new magic defense system, there were other new structures in the city .

Every 1,000 meters or so, there would be a small barrack that was tightly guarded and well equipped with powerful weapons .
Around the barracks, there were gigantic military crossbows called [Dragon Slayers] . They were also from [Demon King's Wisdom], and they were created by the beautiful blacksmith from Diablo World, Charis, with the help from the blacksmiths in Chambord .

These [Dragon Slayers] only occupied a space about ten square meters each, and they were mobile . They were magic weapons that were powered by the magic gems inlaid in the bodies of the crossbows, and about five to six ordinary soldiers could operate one with ease! The huge magic arrows it could shoot out were capable of instantly killing anyone who was below Five-Star in strength .

Fei also discovered that there were stealth monitoring stations on the sides of the mountains, capable of view the city and the plain outside of the city .

On the two sides of the streets, there were many beautiful stone statues . These statues existed before the renovation, but they were modified and now behaved like street lights . The silver light from the magic lanterns inside these statues dispelled the darkness like the moonlight .

These statues were everywhere around the city, illuminating the Chambord Castle .

When Fei looked around more, he even discovered things like manholes, public washrooms, and magic traffic control lights .

If it weren't for the exotic stone buildings and statues, Fei would think that he was back to his previous life where technologies were advanced .

After the renovation that was ordered by Fei, the Chambord Castle was now already a miracle city on this continent; nothing like it could be found .

Chapter 578: 578

It was the same executive hall in the King's Palace, but Fei wasn't familiar to the decors and the interior design .

Fei was a minimalist, and he preferred simple styles . Therefore, when he first came to the Azeroth Continent, he didn't like the overly fancy and bright design of his palace . Thus, since the city underwent renovation, he changed up his palace as well .

The good thing was that the project wasn't costly . All the gold and silver furniture and decorations were moved and sold off, and the palace was now a lot simpler . There were now a lot more plants inside the palace, making it look like a garden .

Fei was sitting on his old stone throne that was clustered by two lion-like demon beast statues, and Little Raccoon was standing on his shoulder intimately, looking at Fei's ministers curiously .

In front of the throne, there was a long rectangular stone pond that was about one meter wide . Some duckweeds were floating on the surface, and a few small fancy fishes were swimming in the pond .

"Your Majesty, the messenger of the Military Headquarter from St . Petersburg has been waiting for you for three to four days now . He asked you to go and see him, and he has a ton of ridiculous requests…" Brook said as he sat on a stone chair; he projected his voice so that everyone in the hall could hear him .
"Ridiculous requests? How ridiculous?" Fei smiled; he was very curious about it .

Fei returned to his palace half way through last night's celebration, and Torres later reported that the messenger of the Military Headquarter tried to find him last night at the party . After not being able to find Fei, this messenger lost his temper and destroyed the atmosphere of the entire celebration . Drogba and Pierce who were short-tempered as well almost tried to beat that arrogant messenger up .

The agents Chambord had in St . Petersburg already passed the information about this messenger named Barkov to Fei through the Letter Office, so the king knew him well .

This person was a little nobleman from a weak family, but he somehow jumped on Crown Prince Arshavin's bandwagon and started to get in power . In order to get recognized by Arshavin, Barkov did everything he could . He framed a lot of noblemen and military commanders who were either on Second Prince Dominguez's side or held neutral stances, and you could say that his hands were covered in blood .

Since this man was sly and tactical, his political enemies couldn't find his weaknesses and evidence of his crime . Therefore, the crown prince liked him, and a lot of people didn't dare to mess with him even though they hated his guts . It was rumored that this man was the dagger in Arshavin's hand which couldn't be stained by blood .

Since the Military Headquarter ordered him to be the messenger and asked him to come to Chambord to get more information on the Jax Battle Zone, it was clear that the crown prince was behind all of this .

To be honest, Fei didn't know why this prince, who was known as polite and welcoming of talents, hated him so much . From the look of things, it felt like the crown prince wanted to get rid of him .

Therefore, Barkov was clearly up to no good .
"My lord, that messenger has been wandering around Chambord, and he visited a lot of influential people in the city . Almost all the officials in the six administrative departments of Chambord received gifts from him, despite the ranking of their positions; even Bast and I got gifts from him . From the way he talked, he isn't respectful toward Your Majesty, and he is trying to stir up…" Brook knew about everything that was going on in the city, so he reported in detail, "Also, this messenger is very interested in things like our teleportation array at the gate and our [Dragon Slayer] crossbows . He had asked us to provide the blueprints several times . Also, several officials in the bylaw enforcement ministry told me that he is also interested in the central water system, sewer system, traffic light system, etc . There had been some terrible incidents where workers and low-level mages were kidnapped and interrogated for the blueprints and core magic arrays!"

Perhaps because the king influenced him, Brook used a lot of technical terms in his report .

"Eh? From the sound of it, this Barkov has good eyes…" Fei thought about it and said, "Send someone to tell him that I'm busy and can't make time to see him . Also tell him that if he wants to see me, we can talk about it in half a month . "

"As you wish!"

Fei glanced around and got a little emotional .

Except for a dozen well-respected elderlies who were elected by the people of Chambord to attend these meetings, make public announcements, and clarify the rumors and misunderstanding around the new laws, other people in the hall were all mid-level and high-level officials .

Since Fei raised his blade and wiped out all the corrupted nobles in Chambord, most of these officials were young; the oldest one among them was younger than 40 years old, and the youngest one was about 19 years old . These people were all promoted based on talent and competency rather than backgrounds .

They would be the key to Chambord's future rise .

Although the king was powerful, he couldn't manage a kingdom using force alone . Therefore, since Fei was a king who was hands-off, these people in front of him were more irreplaceable .

"Half a year ago when I led our troop on the expedition, a lot of you were still regular citizens . Now, you are all key figures in the kingdom, and I recognize your faces and remember your names . I'm pleased with the work that you guys have done so far; it is clear that Mr . Bast and Mr . Brook couldn't have done everything at Chambord alone . Therefore, you guys are all heroes of Chambord as well!"
What Fei said moved these people .

This young king who had a legendary past was charismatic enough to engage people with a few words and make them admire him .

"Eh, since you are all here, I have an announcement to make; it is going to be a lot of work to get everyone here again . In half a month when full moon arrives, I will be marrying Mr . Bast's only daughter, Ms . Angela, and the archery professor at the Civil and Military University, Ms . Elena . I hope all of you could attend!" Fei said with a bright smile on his face .

Fei talked to Bast about this last night openly . To his surprise, this future father-in-law of his agreed to it readily; he wasn't mad at all . The fact that Bast accepted it so easily worried Fei a little .

After a while, Fei figured that since Bast was from a noble family and acted strictly according to the etiquettes of nobles, he probably wasn't opposed to polygamous relationships that were common to see in the noble's circle .
Applauses instantly sounded in the hall .

Based on tradition, the king already passed the usual marrying age . In the Zenit Empire, a lot of princes were married at 12 years old .

This was a serious matter . The king already got canonized by the empire and was older than 18 years of age, but he still wasn't married . A lot of people in the kingdom and the empire had been talking about this .

Therefore, Fei's subordinates were happy for him when he made the announcement .

The two most beautiful girls at Chambord were finally claimed .

Of course, there were a few young men who were fond of the beautiful and powerful Valkyrie, and they were a little disappointed . However, on the second thought, only the king who was a talented genius was fit for marrying a girl like Elena . If anyone else said that he was going to marry Elena, the young men in the city would throw out white gloves according to tradition and challenge him .

The king's marriage ceremony was treated as a grand celebration .

The officials in the Finance Department and the Rites Department quickly walked up and said that they would take care of all the planning and logistics .

The atmosphere in the hall got warmer and warmer; this just went to show how popular and loved Fei was as a king .

After the official meeting, Fei asked Bast, Brook, and Jessie to stay behind . According to the tradition of the Holy Church, after Fei officially gets canonized and becomes the bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, the headquarter of the shrine was going to be placed in Chambord .
In the next while, Jessie would be walking around the city and trying to select the best location for the new church .

This was an important matter, so Fei reminded Bast and Brook to coordinate with Jessie well .

After that, Fei returned to the back hall to have lunch with his fiancées .

Then, he quickly went to the back mountain of Chambord; all the key secrets were hidden inside the underground cave .

The old city already changed so much, so Fei couldn't wait to see the underground cave that was the core of the project .

It was going to be an underground city filled with miracles .

Chapter 579

With Brook as the guide, Fei and his guard, Torres, went to the back mountain of Chambord .

Before Fei left with the troops half a year ago, he used his assassin character to set up a ton of magic traps in here, increasing the security of this crucial underground base .

Half a year had passed, and most of those magic traps expired . However, the security level of the back mountain was still high . Many of Cain and Akara's terrifying magic creations were implemented in this restricted area .

The small square and the building that led to the entrance of the underground cave disappeared .

In their place were large rocks that weighed over a ton each . There were a lot of mosses and dents on them, perfectly fitting in with the other rocks on the mountain . They looked like they had been there for thousands of years, and even a person with the best observational skills wouldn't be able to tell that these rocks were newly added .

The way to enter the underground cave now was through a teleportation array .
It was a part of Fei's planning, and Cain and Akara made it happen . A unique soul frequency identification system was added to the magic array . Now, only the people who had their soul frequencies recorded and authorized were able to use the teleportation array and get into the underground cave .

Otherwise, even powerful mages wouldn't be able to hack into the magic array . If anyone tried to do that, the teleportation array would self-detonate .
Therefore, this new setup guaranteed the safety of Chambord's top secrets .

Brook, Fei, and Torres' soul frequencies had been recorded, and they activated the teleportation array and entered the underground cave .

After a yellow energy flame and the feeling of being inside a spatial portal flashed by, Fei saw the very familiar underground corridor .

This corridor was about 2,000 meters long, and it was connected to the underground cave that was now known as the [City of Heroes] .

Different from before where it was gloomy and was barely lit up by the flames in braziers that were hanging off the crude walls, the corridor was now completely renovated .

The green-greyish walls were fixed and painted with a magic mixture, and it was now bright and shiny . It reflected the lights from the soft silver magic lanterns on the wall, making this corridor look like the corridor in a godly palace .

Now, there was a black gate every 100 meters, blocking the way .

Fei took a closer look and realized that they were made from [Demons' Remains] and ores known as [Black Stone Essence] . With dense magic runes engraved on them, it was clear that they were made by Cain and Akara as well . They were thick and immune to the attacks of people who were below the level of Six-Star . Fei lightly knocked one gate and realized that they could at least block one strike from a Full Moon Elite before getting destroyed; that gave the king a pleasant surprise .

A ton of precious materials was used here! As if a billionaire was feeding truffles and Champagne to a pig, it felt a little wasteful . If loads of [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences] weren't found deep inside the underground cave, Chambord wouldn't be able to afford this . In fact, even level 5 and level 6 empires wouldn't spend their resources like this .

Every single gate was guarded, and guards would only open the gates using unique mechanisms after confirming the identities .

These mechanisms were advanced, and they were from the [Demon King's Wisdom] . Their name was [Gods' Sign], meaning that even the gods would have to sign and feel powerless when faced with such mechanisms . Although it was a little exaggerated, it went to show how secure the mechanisms were .

After going through 19 gates, Fei, Brook, and Torres finally arrived at the [City of Heroes] .

The king and his guard's eyes lit up; they felt like they arrived at a paradise .
The huge underground cave was completely redone . The walls were painted with that silver magic mixture, lighting this space up and making it feel like it was daytime . A lot of colorful gems and crystals were inlaid on the walls and added a bit of playfulness to it .

When Fei and Torres first walked through the last gate, they saw all kinds of trees, grasses, and flowers . They felt like they were in a beautiful divine forest when they then saw squirrels and butterflies, heard the chirps of birds and sound made by water fountains, and breathed in air that was even more refreshing than the outside world .

If the [City of Heroes] was a dusty and dirty prison half a year ago, then it was comparable to the paradise in the level 36 region at the Mythical Palace .

Several beautiful magic water fountains were situated in the four corners of the cave . The chilly water from the underground river was treated by a magic array and pulled into here, and the ear-pleasing sounds made by the flowing water added to the charm of this place .

There were now a ton of people inside the [City of Heroes], and the arrival of Fei instantly caught people's attention . A lot of people were excited, but they held their emotions in check . After waving and greeting, they quickly went back to their work .

'Hail the king' was chanted all over the place and at different volumes .

The reconstruction and renovation of Chambord was a huge project, and what happened so far was only the beginning .
Except for the students in the Civil and Military University, every person in here right now passed many tests, and they were the most talented and most loyal members of Chambord . With great pay and loads of honor, these people put their minds to their work 100%, and no one slacked off .

As Fei walked around and greeted the people whom he was either familiar or unfamiliar with, he continued the tour .
The underground cave was several hundred meters tall and looked like the inner space of a skyscraper . The walls of the underground cave were divided into 66 floors with many stone rooms on each floor . Half a year ago, manual pulleys and iron baskets were used to create basic elevators . Now, the magic teleportation arrays were everywhere and replaced them . A person could go from the first floor to the 66th floor in the blink of an eye .

This was the charm of magic technology .

A lot of mechanisms and setups in here were inspired by the items from Fei's previous life, and they were made by Cain and Akara using the information in [Demon King's Wisdom], the encyclopedia of magic technologies and magic principles .

Fei was the head architect of this place, and his way of thinking changed the [City of Heroes] .

As he walked around, he quickly understood the use of the magic devices and mechanisms without having to hear it from Brook .

There were magic air conditioners that could change the temperature and humidity, magic vending machines that could provide people with all kinds of drinks, magic elevators that could teleport people between the 66 floors, magic radios that played the stories recorded by traveling poets, magic projectors that used divy crystals to play videos, and magic arcade machines that offered fun games… Fei felt like he was inside a modern mall on Earth!

A lot of the devices and ideas were new to this world, and they were very efficient at what they did . They went above the current use of magic and the popular belief of mages which was to deal as much damage as possible . These were all unique designs, and they would catch a lot of attention in the outside world .

When looking at the things in front of him, an overwhelming sense of achievement overtook Fei's mind .

He finally left his own mark on this continent which was totally different from Earth! Without Fei's unique mind, Cain and Akara couldn't make these items even if they had [Demon King's Wisdom] .

As Fei was thinking to himself, loud and ear-piercing beeping noises sounded .

"Attention! Attention! An unidentified person sneaked into the [City of Heroes]! Attention! Attention! An unidentified person sneaked into the [City of Heroes]! He is located…"

The loud warning was broadcasted, and everyone's expression changed .

Chapter 580: 580

"What is going on? There is no safety drill scheduled for today . " Brook was surprised .

Since the construction of the [City of Heroes], people who came and went from this place had been tightly monitored, and the security was good . There had never been an incident where an unidentified person came into this place, but it happened today when the king was here for the tour .

Loud warning noises sounded non-stop, and the red warning lights on the walls flashed .

However, the people in the [City of Heroes] didn't panic as much as Fei expected . The people who weren't soldiers instantly backed off into the designated safety rooms, and they were smooth and coordinate; it was clear that they had practiced this many time . Then, as loud banging noises sounded, the gates of the safety rooms dropped down . There were a ton of magic runes on the gates, making them indestructible .

Next, the soldiers who protected the [City of Heroes] rushed out from everywhere .

A ton of small holes appeared on the walls, and arrows that were loaded onto [Dragon Slayer] crossbows came out of those holes . The sharp, white arrows heads looked chilling, and they almost filled the walls, making them look like the backs of hedgehogs .
As flames flashed, the stealth magic protection arrays were activated . Magic elements started to become chaotic in the underground cave, turning the paradise into a dangerous place where traps were everywhere .

Then, soldiers who were in magic armors dashed out of the teleportation arrays and controlled the key locations before searching for that unidentified person .
Fei nodded and smiled; he was pleased with what he saw .

No military base could be truly impeccable, so the king wasn't mad that someone sneaked into the [City of Heroes] . He was pleased by the actions that took place after the unidentified person was discovered . A fast and systematic procedure after any breach was the key to keeping all information secure .

Multiple magic lights appeared on the wall, and they scanned the area and looked at all the corners and possible hiding places like searchlights .

These were called [True Sight], and they were recorded on [Demon King's Wisdom] . They were powerful devices from the Mythical Era that could reveal stealth units and expose assassins as soon as the lights were shone on them .

"Your Majesty, it is dangerous here . Do you want to go somewhere else?" Several soldiers circled Fei, and their captain, who was on the rank of Saint Seiya, carefully asked Fei .

Currently, the soldiers of Chambord were placed in three ranks .

The top rank was Saint Seiya . Fei appointed a group of people when he first created this division . After some modification, there were now a total of 45 of people . The weakest one of them was a Two-Star Warrior, and the more powerful ones such as Drogba, Torres, and Cech were all Eight-Star and Nine-Star Warriors . Leo Saint Lampard was the most powerful, and he already advanced into the Moon-Class Realm .

The second rank was Bylaw Enforcement . Most of Chambord soldiers were bylaw enforcement officers, and there were about 500 of them, and most of them had taken diluted [Hulk Potion] . Even though they weren't Star-level Warriors, some of them obtained a bit of warrior energy, and they were all physically strong and had great combat abilities .

The third rank was Militia . Almost all citizens of Chambord would receive some military training once they met the age requirement .

The captain in front of Fei right now was a mid-tier Two-Star Warrior, and he had ice-elemental warrior energy . He had six saint seiyas and 20 bylaw enforcement officers with him, tightly protecting the king .

"Don't worry . I also want to see who was able to sneak into the [City of Heroes] . You don't need to protect me; resume your search . " Fei smiled and shook his head .

He already spotted this unidentified person, but he didn't tell the soldiers . He wanted to use this opportunity to see how good the saint seiyas and the bylaw enforcement officers have gotten .

Even though this captain heard Fei and started the search, he and his men were still carefully scattered around Fei .
To them, the safety of their king was more important than anything .

They knew that the king's power was beyond their imagination, but they couldn't just ditch their responsibilities .

The lights projected by the [True Sight] magic lights continued to scan the area, but Fei discovered that the person in stealth was quietly moving toward him .

This person was already a Moon-Class Elite, and he was much more powerful than the Chambord soldiers here . Besides, he also had on a cloak that helped him to stay stealth .

He easily passed by the soldiers and escaped from the scanning of the [True Sight] .

One hundred meters…

Eighty meters…

Sixty meters…

This man easily dodged all detections and moved toward Fei fast .

When he moved passed the saint seiyas, no one sensed him as if he was a ghost .

Soon, this person was less than 30 meters away from Fei; it felt like everything was in this intruder's control .
Suddenly, a saint seiya who was a Three-Star Warrior shouted, "Activate the gravity imprisonment array, rock swamp array, wind-binding array, vine-coiling array…"

At the same time, he turned around and struck toward an empty space beside him .
That was where the invisible intruder was at .

Dashes of yellow, green, and cyan magic energy flames appeared under that person's feet and completely enveloped him . The chaotic magic elements instantly broke his stealth, and he was revealed .

He was a mid-aged man who looked fortyish, and he was wearing a black cloak .

Before the mocking and proud smile on his face could really shine, it froze and turned into shock; he couldn't understand how he was discovered . He didn't touch a single soldier, and the lights from the [True Sight] didn't shine on him .

"How could a weak soldier discover me? How? What went wrong?"

He didn't have time to think about these questions .

At that moment, he felt heavy as the gravity in the area increased by more than a dozen times . Even though he was a mid-tier New Moon Elite, his knees were forced to bend a little . He was only able to straighten his legs after unleashing his warrior energy . Then, the ground he was standing on turned soft, and his legs started to sink in . In the meantime, a lot of veins with sharp thorns on them grew from the swamp and coiled onto his legs .

Magic arrays were instantly activated .

Now, that saint seiya was already in his face, striking toward him .

"Damn it!" this mid-aged man growled and punched out, trying to defend himself .

Boom!

Their hands collided, and it made this intruder sink into the swamp even more .

In an instant, more than half of his thighs were in the swamp .
On the other hand, that saint seiya roared as he flew back and spat out a mouthful of blood . The difference in their strengths was too significant . Even though this intruder didn't have enough time to use all his strength, the Three-Star Warrior was hit by a Moon-Class Elite and got severely injured; his arm bones almost broke .

If others suffered from such a blow, they might have fainted already . However, this saint seiya was fierce; as he got send flying in the air, he shouted, "[Dragon Slayers], shoot!"

Now, Fei realized that this saint seiya tried to attack this intruder so that the latter would sink into the swamp even more . What this soldier did just bought time for the crossbows to shoot at the enemy .

Before this soldier made his move, he already knew that he was going to be severely injured . However, he still acted without hesitation; he was a true warrior .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three crossbows moved and shot out three magic arrows as soon as that saint seiya shouted, and the arrows almost instantly got to the mid-aged man who quickly escaped from the magic arrays .

The power within the arrows surprised this mid-aged man, and he had to unleash his full strength to fight against them .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This person was indeed strong . As the explosions happened, he pushed the three huge magic arrows, that were shot out of the [Dragon Slayers], off trajectory even though his hands bleed .

However, that impact force pushed him, who just got out of the swamp, back deep into it . Now, he was stuck in there waist down .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five more crossbows fired, and the sharp air-piercing noises sounded like the vicious laughs of the Grim Reaper .

The magic defense system in the [City of Heroes] was powerful, and many components worked together well . Without giving this mid-aged man the chance to catch his breath, more than a dozen [Dragon Slayers] on the walls fire altogether .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions appeared

The magic energy flame and the clouds of dust completely enveloped the area .

Fei vaguely saw the spilling of blood and heard a muffled grown, but he couldn't be sure since a lot of things was going on . No one knew if this mid-aged man dodged all attacks or not .

"Capture him alive! We need to know who he is and how he got in here!" Brook shouted .

Highly cautious, the bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas slowly moved toward the center of the clouds of dust .

Chapter 581: Do You Know Now?

Soon, the dust and the magic energy flames settled, and people finally saw what happened .

"Hahahah! Great! A little Chambord has such hidden military base and such terrifying magic weapons that no one knows about! Haha, great! Crown Prince His Highness is right! King Alexander, you sure want to commit treason!"

Even though this mid-aged man was covered in blood, he laughed without fear .

The magic arrays that trapped this man were all destroyed by the magic arrows, and this mid-aged man was now stuck into the hard ground from the waist down .

His right shoulder was penetrated through by a huge arrow that was as thick as a wine bottle, and his entire right arm almost fell off . Also, his abdomen area was penetrated through by another arrow, a few of his ribs broke, and a portion of his intestines was exposed . He was in a terrible condition, but he was a Moon-Class Elite and was able to withstand it . An ordinary person would have died with this level of injuries, but this man was fierce and completely ignored the wounds on his body as if someone else was injured .

As he shouted, his brows were raised like knives .

Even though he was in a devastating situation, he ignored the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who were approaching him . He took out a black token from his inner pocket using his intact left hand and threw it to Fei .

A mocking smile appeared on this mid-aged man's face as he sneered, "Look at this token! I'm a guardian of the Senate to the royal family of Zenit, and I'm here to investigate Chambord under the order from Arshavin His Highness and see if you are really trying to commit treason . My identity is prestige, and injuring me is a big crime of its own . Do you really to commit treason? Quickly get rid of these soldiers and get me a healer!"

The people around him were all stunned .

They didn't expect that this intruder would be one of the envoys from St . Petersburg . If this was the case and what he said was true, then Chambord couldn't do anything to him even though it was already a level 1 affiliated kingdom . After all, no affiliated kingdom was given the power to judge and punish a guardian of the Senate .

"It is really him! I remember now; when that Barkov came to visit me, this man was behind him . He is the deputy envoy of the envoy group from St . Petersburg . I didn't know that he has this identity as well… Damn it!" Brook's face changed color as he walked up and whispered into Fei's ear .

For a moment, everyone was looking at Fei .

In this situation, only the king could decide on what to do .

"Humph! King of Chambord, what are you waiting for? Call over a mage to heal me! I heard that you defeated four Executive Knights on the No . 1 Sword-Testing Stage and participated in the operation of hunting down assassins who killed Martial Saint Krasic . You have a bright future, and my advice to you is not to mistake your potential as real strength . The real reason that you were able to dominate in the Capital was that we, the seniors, didn't want to lower ourselves to teach you a lesson . Humph! Don't think that no one in the empire could deal with you!" this mid-aged man said with chilliness in his eyes . He wasn't respectful at all .

"How dare you!"

"Reckless!"

"How dare you to be so rude in front of a level 2 noble of the empire?"

After hearing the mockery, the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers all shouted . To these warriors, the Crown Prince and the Senate meant nothing . If their king gave the order, they would rush over and kill this man without hesitation .

As soon as this mid-aged man finished speaking, Fei suddenly smiled and broke his silence .

"The Crown Prince's intelligence network sure is slow; or, he didn't want to tell you the truth?"

"What?" the mid-aged man was confused .

Fei looked at the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers and said in a moderate speed, "This person is a member of Spartax, and he stole the identity of a guardian of the Senate and is trying to defame the Crown Prince . He is a real criminal! I will go to Emperor Yassin and get the person, who captures this criminal, the reward he deserves!"

Fei looked at the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers and said in a moderate speed, "This person is a member of Spartax, and he stole the identity of a guardian of the Senate and is trying to defame the Crown Prince . He is a real criminal! I will go to Emperor Yassin and get the person, who captures this criminal, the reward he deserves!"

"What? You… How dare you!?" the mid-aged man was so angry that his face paled . He said as his lips twitched, "King of Chambord, you are really committing treason! I already showed my badge, and you are still…"

Before he could finish, the soldiers of Chambord already charged at him .

This man was getting his butt handed to him . He was a New Moon Elite who could destroy the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers here, but the magic defense system at the [City of Heroes] was too strong, and the crossbows were too powerful . He was a little careless and instantly got severely injured . At the moment, his legs were stuck in the ground, and he had less than 20% of his strength left . Although he wasn't in immediate danger, he couldn't get away easily .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It felt like a bunch of tigers were trying to eat a dragon when the soldiers of Chambord rushed toward this man fiercely .

For a moment, various colored warrior energy flames appeared, and the battle was crazy . As loud booming noises sounded, Chambord soldiers were knocked away . However, more and more soldiers charged at this man, not giving him a chance to breathe .

Fei just stood on the side and watched with a smile on his face .

However, he was secretly knocking his fingers to send hidden energies into the battle .

These hidden energies blocked the most lethal strikes coming from this intruder just in time, and the soldiers of Chambord who got knocked away didn't get any life-threatening injuries . After shaking their heads to get rid of the dizziness, they got up and jumped in the battle again .

The king was using this poor man as a stepping stone to train the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers so that they could get more battle experience .

The king was using this poor man as a stepping stone to train the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers so that they could get more battle experience .

"Ahahahah! King of Chambord! I'm going to kill you!" this intruder who was a little fatigued now finally felt like something strange was going on, and dashes of energy flames appeared, knocking away all the soldiers of Chambord .

With a vicious expression on his face, he took out a sealed scroll from his inner pocket and shook it .

"Let me kill you first, and these idiots will know to back off!"

Whoosh!

A dash of golden sword energy shot through the air, leaving black cracks in the space as it was faster than lightning .

Bam! Bam! Bam!

This sword energy was sharp, and it instantly destroyed more than a dozen magic arrays that the soldiers of Chambord secretly placed around Fei which were able to block the full-on strikes of Moon-Class Elites .

"Save His Majesty!"

"Quick! Save His Majesty!"

The soldiers panicked when they saw that the sword energy was going for Fei's forehead . The soldiers who were close to Fei tried to jump over and block it for the king instinctively before their brains could process what was going on .

Even though this sword energy could penetrate through multiple magic shields and was capable of killing them instantly, none of them hesitated .

The soldier who jumped over first was that Two-Star Warrior who had ice-elemental warrior energy . With his eyes wide open, he burned his warrior energy and tried to slow down this golden sword energy with his life .

Even though this sword energy could penetrate through multiple magic shields and was capable of killing them instantly, none of them hesitated .

The soldier who jumped over first was that Two-Star Warrior who had ice-elemental warrior energy . With his eyes wide open, he burned his warrior energy and tried to slow down this golden sword energy with his life .

This golden sword energy seemed to have already touched his forehead, and skin on his forehead was cut . As the blood drops were about to slide down his face, the vicious Grim Reaper already raised his sickle .

This saint seiya was staring at this golden sword energy angrily, and he was about to witness how it was going to pierce through his head and destroy his body .

Suddenly, the situation changed . That piercing pain disappeared, and the golden sword energy was gone from his vision . Instead, he saw the broad and strong back of a person .

"It is His Majesty!" this saint seiya instantly recognized who this person was .

His eyes opened wider as he thought, "So… so fast! His Majesty… When… How could he be faster than that sword energy? Sh*t! That sword energy…"

He was terrified when he realized that the king was right in front of that golden sword energy .

On the other hand, that mid-aged man was stunned as well; what he saw made him lose hope, and his heart was sinking to the bottom of an abyss .

"Do you know now?" Fei asked this intruder calmly .

In front of the king, there were layers of transparent ripples, creating crystal lotuses one after another . That golden sword energy was forced back by a meter, and it was imprisoned by those transparent ripples . Like a snail that was stuck in a swamp, it couldn't move around . The golden light on it shone brighter and brighter, but it couldn't do anything .

"Know… know what?" the mid-aged man asked dispiritedly .

Fei sighed and looked at this man as if the latter was the most stupid person in the world . As a confident smile appeared on his face, Fei unleashed his power, looked down on this intruder, and stated, "You should know that except for Emperor Yassin, no one else in the empire could fight against me! Even if there are numerous hidden masters, none of them could rival with me! Even if that person behind you has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, got a ton of influence, and won the throne, he couldn't do anything to me! If I want to, I can kill him easily!"

Chapter 581: Do You Know Now?.

Soon, the dust and the magic energy flames settled, and people finally saw what happened

"Hahahah! Great! A little Chambord has such hidden military base and such terrifying magic weapons that no one knows about! Haha, great! Crown Prince His Highness is right! King Alexander, you sure want to commit treason!".

Even though this mid-aged man was covered in blood, he laughed without fear

The magic arrays that trapped this man were all destroyed by the magic arrows, and this mid-aged man was now stuck into the hard ground from the waist down

His right shoulder was penetrated through by a huge arrow that was as thick as a wine bottle, and his entire right arm almost fell off . Also, his abdomen area was penetrated through by another arrow, a few of his ribs broke, and a portion of his intestines was exposed . He was in a terrible condition, but he was a Moon-Class Elite and was able to withstand it . An ordinary person would have died with this level of injuries, but this man was fierce and completely ignored the wounds on his body as if someone else was injured

As he shouted, his brows were raised like knives

Even though he was in a devastating situation, he ignored the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who were approaching him . He took out a black token from his inner pocket using his intact left hand and threw it to Fei

A mocking smile appeared on this mid-aged man's face as he sneered, "Look at this token!

Chapter 582: The Son of An Acquaintance

Even a saint would get mad if someone provoked him or her enough, let alone Fei .

After being pressured and provoked by Arshavin and his henchmen multiple times, Fei got mad this time when they tried to accuse him of committing treason . When he spat those words, he didn't hide his murderous spirit . Although he didn't name drop Arshavin, his threatening tone was unhidden .

After hearing what Fei said, this mid-aged man lost all hope and froze .

When Fei was speaking, he lightly breathed out and blew onto that golden sword energy . What shocked this intruder was that the golden sword energy that was invincible before got shattered into dust before dispersing into the air . After a few seconds, it felt like it never existed .

At this moment, this mid-aged man realized what the King of Chambord meant with those words, and he understood how powerful this king was .

He knew whom this golden sword energy was from and how powerful it was .

This ultimate trump card was given to him so that he could assassinate the King of Chambord if the timing was right, but now it seemed like their plans and schemes were ridiculous . He felt like they were a few dogs that were trying to kill a holy dragon .

The king's power was beyond the stretch of their imaginations .

When the king got serious, even the vague aura he showed made this mid-aged man, who was a Moon-Class Elite, feel like a huge mountain was about to crush down on his back .

Indefensible power!

This mid-aged man redefined King Alexander in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Crown Prince Arshavin .

"If Zenit's God of War who is proud right now knows what happened to the King of Chambord's strength in half a year, he would change his stance without hesitation . From the look of it, this battle he is fighting is meaningless, and he has no chance of winning . If nothing drastic occurs, the outcome of this battle between the prince, who is the most talented commander at Zenit, and the young nobleman, who is rising in the empire the quickest, is already determined . "

This mid-aged man who thought everything through surrendered; he knew the law of the jungle and the fact that absolute power could destroy anything .

When a saint seiya walked over to put the magic handcuffs on him, he didn't even try to resist . With the king who was a powerful master here, there was no way that he could get out; putting up more resistance was like asking for more humiliation .

"Hand him over to the Justice Department . " Fei waved his hand .

Although he didn't say anything, he knew that Oleg knew what he wanted . Since this person sneaked into the tightly guarded and protected [City of Heroes], it meant that something went wrong . The loophole needed to be exposed and fixed .

The person behind all this was clear, so no work needed to be done there .

"King of Chambord…"

"King of Chambord…"

Before he was dragged away, this mid-aged man looked at Fei and wanted to say something when he passed the king . However, he only sighed in the end .

Before, he thought that this king was an arrogant young man who didn't know his boundaries . Even though Crown Prince Arshavin told him specifically to be aware and be careful at Chambord, this overly-proud guardian of the Senate disregarded it . In his eyes, even if a king of an affiliated kingdom was talented, he couldn't do anything without enough resources and guidance .

"A sparrow is going to be a sparrow . How could it jump on a tree and become a phoenix?" he once thought .

Well… the sparrow did jump on a tree, and it didn't just become a phoenix; it turned into a terrifying holy dragon!

"Can anyone in the Zenit Empire deal with this powerful young king?" this mid-aged man thought as he was dragged to the prison in the basement of the underground cave .

At the moment, he was really weak . Due to the loss of blood and severe injuries, his face was pale, and his lips turned black . However, the information he just got shocked him more than the bodily injuries he was suffering from .

After thinking through the hidden masters of the empire, he made a shocking discovery . Even if all the masters who belonged to Zenit came out, none of them could overpower this king .

"What this king said is true . If Emperor Yassin doesn't come out, no one could deal with him . What is also terrifying is that the soldiers of Chambord are looking at this king as if he is a god; even the most devoted believers couldn't be compared to them . The way they look at him is even scarier than how the soldiers at the [Iron Blood Legion] look at Arshavin . " When he thought back to how the soldiers of Chambord looked at their king, this mid-aged man got fearful . It was easy to imagine that if the king raised his arms and wanted to break away from Zenit, these soldiers would listen to him wholeheartedly . In their minds, the Zenit Empire wasn't anything .

It was easy to imagine that if the king raised his arms and wanted to break away from Zenit, these soldiers would listen to him wholeheartedly . In their minds, the Zenit Empire wasn't anything .

Soldiers and people in the military knew how terrifying that was, and even regular people could see the issue for Zenit .

"Is it fortunate or unfortunate that the King of Chambord was born in Zenit?" he thought .

…

This small incident was quickly over, and Fei demonstrated to his people how powerful he was . As a result, the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers worshipped him even more .

Now, they were no longer farmers who could only swing their farm equipment at the invaders on the defense wall . As official soldiers who either obtained warrior energy or on the verge of getting it, they could tell that their king's strength was broad like the ocean .

As they chanted 'hail the king', Fei took out a bottle of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] and healed the injured soldiers himself .

This simple action touched these soldiers even more, and some of them even teared up .

After Fei healed the Three-Star Warrior who silently laid down the magic traps and successfully dragged down that intruder who was a Moon-Class Elite, he asked, "Warrior, tell me your name . "

This young man displayed courage as well as intelligence, leaving a mark on Fei's mind . Just the impression he gave Fei in those few seconds made the king feel like this young man could be built into something greater, and the king couldn't stop his love for talent .

"Your Majesty, my name is Ed Hazard, the son of Terry Hazard," the young man answered excitedly . He didn't waver when facing the Moon-Class Elite, but his voice shivered when answering the king's question . It just went to show how much the king weighed in their minds .

"Huh? You are the son of the blacksmith, Old Hazard?" Fei knew this young man's father .

"Ah?… Your Majesty… You… You know my father?" this young man was surprised, and he felt very honored . He didn't expect the great king who was very busy to know a poor blacksmith .

"Hahaha! Why wouldn't I? When we fought the black-armored enemies last autumn, I battled the enemies alongside your father . Your father used a forge hammer and killed six enemies . He lost one of his legs in the battle, and he is a real fighter . Young man, you are even better than your father; you didn't lose face for him!" Fei said .

He had a great memory, and the battle was the first battle he got involved in after he came to this world so that he could recall it vividly . He still remembered a lot of faces and names of the people who helped with the city's defense .

Although Fei didn't realize what this meant to his people, the soldiers all reacted . Being remembered by the king was a great honor!

Not only Ed Hazard, but other saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers were motivated by how much the king cared for his people .

The charisma the king showed made the soldiers fall for him more compared to his great strength .

Chapter 583: 583

Fei thought about it and took out a cultivation technique scroll from his storage space, gifting it to Ed Hazard .

This was a unique technique that Fei created on the way back to Chambord . It was based on an interesting technique from [Demon King's Sword], and Fei named it [Diamond Dust Fist] . In terms of warrior energy property, it was perfect for Ed Hazard .

Subconsciously, Fei wanted to turn this young man into Bronze Saint of Cygnus since he looked similar to Hyōga, the original Bronze Saint of Cygnus in the anime .

As his peers looked at him with envy, Ed carefully took the scroll and treated it like a supreme treasure .

"One more thing; how did you find that invader?" Fei suddenly thought back to how this young man discovered that mid-aged man, and it was a little unimaginable . Without external help, Ed Hazard, who was only a Three-Star Warrior, shouldn't be able to discover that Moon-Class Elite .

"Your Majesty, that is because we all have this magic item with us…" Ed took a watch-like item off his wrist and handed it over to Fei carefully . He explained, "Anyone who is below the realm of Sun-Class couldn't hide all their bodily heat . They couldn't do it even if they have great stealth techniques and stealth items . Professor Cain said that all the pores on a person's body are constantly emitting heat . This device, with the help from the special paint on the wall called [Demon Moon's Light], could sense all the minuscule changes in heat in an area five meters around it . Therefore…"
"That old man really made it?" Fei was pleasantly surprised, and he also didn't know what do say .

It was him who told Cain about the heat being emitted by the pores, and Cain didn't believe it at first . Now, he was promoting the same theory as if he discovered it .
Soon, the loud warnings ended, and the red warning lights on the walls also stopped flashing .

After the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers searched around the [City of Heroes] again and made sure that there were no more intruders, the [Dragon Slayers] were pulled back, and all the gates locking down the safety rooms slowly reopened . Then, the workers and students walked out of there and continued with their tasks calmly .

There were designated personnel who were in charge of cleaning up the mess created by the battle .

The saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers all saluted at the king and left through the teleportation arrays one group after another .

This underground cave returned to its calm, peaceful, refreshing, and pleasant state, and it felt like nothing happened . The birds and cute animals that went to hide somewhere returned as well, squeaking and chirping as they looked at the people who were walking around curiously .

Fei nodded in satisfaction .

The [City of Heroes] indeed had a powerful magic defense system, and it was beyond his estimation . When he wandered around afterward, he spotted even more magic traps and killing mechanisms that weren't used in the battle . Therefore, even if he weren't here, that mid-aged man couldn't get away .

Before the renovation project began, Cain and Akara were very confident in their modification of the design of the [City of Heroes]; they said that the powerful magic traps and killing mechanisms were enough to handle Moon-Class Elites . Even if Sun-Class Lords entered this place, they would get a headache . From the look it, those two mad scientists weren't bluffing .

Fei reviewed the design put forth by them before, and he knew that less than one-tenth of the plan was implemented . It was enough to capture a New Moon Elite now; once completed, it would be enough to tie down Sun-Class Lords .

By using the magic elevator, Fei went to every floor and checked out the implemented designs one by one with Brook and Torres .

The first floor to the fifth floor was open to anyone, and there were resting rooms, dining halls, workout rooms, etc . The sixth floor to the 15th floor was the campus of the Civil and Military University . The rooms on the ten floors were divided into places such as classrooms, experimental rooms, practice rooms, common weaponry rooms, and libraries . This university was based on the universities in Fei's previous life, and all the facilities were there . There were more than 1,000 kids between the age of ten and 18 studying here, and they were the key to Chambord's future rise .

All the kids who were younger than ten years old were getting pre-schooled in the Chambord City, and only the more talented and extraordinary kids were taken into the Civil and Military University as exceptions .

To some degree, since Fei knew that investing in education was very important, the Chambord Kingdom was the kingdom that spent the most money in this field in the region with a diameter of one million kilometers . The education these kids were receiving was comprehensive and scientific, completely breaking the unwritten rule where only the kids of affluent families could study and changing many kids' lives .

As the king of Chambord, Fei was also the principal of the school .

However, he wasn't a good principal since he hadn't shown his face in the school for more than half a year, and he never taught one class nor had one speech .

"Schedule a class three days later . Otherwise, I'm not filling my duty," Fei said to Brook .

They didn't disturb the kids who were having classes; they only wandered outside the classrooms and checked the classes out .

"That is great! The kids will be thrilled once they know that Your Majesty is going to teach one class," Brook replied with a bright smile on his face .
When the king first promoted the free and universal education program, leaders in Chambord such as Brook and others didn't understand it . Now, as these talented kids grew quickly like grasses with enough sunshine, water, and nutrition, the talent count at Chambord increased drastically . These leaders finally understood why the king always said that talent was the most crucial resource in a chaotic era .

Actually, this wasn't a unique and new idea; anyone who was smart could figure it out after some thinking . However, in this world where bloodline and social status were extremely important, many wise kings and emperors couldn't break the hierarchy and strict social ladder .
The 16th floor to the 25th floor was an open area .

Different from the five floors at the bottom, there were many carefully designed practice battlefields, magic arrays that could train one's willpower, magic traps that could test one's agility and reaction speed, battle stages where people could duel, and training rooms where there were machines that could boost people's body functionality . Fei personally designed most of these .

Of course, there was more than a dozen bloody arenas .

There were several demons in them such as [Fallens] and [Fallen Shamans]; they were summoned here by Fei .

Since there were [Fallen Shamans] in each arena, it continued to revive the [Fallens] after they were killed .

This design provided the soldiers of Chambord unlimited practice partners .

Before Fei led the troop on the expedition, he spent some of his experience points and summoned more than a dozen [Fallen Shaman] from Diablo World . They were placed in deep pits before, and they allowed saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers to get better with their skills . A qualified saint seiya should be able to kill a [Fallen] with their bare fists .

By fight with these demons, the soldiers' wills and courage increased as well . They accumulated battle experiences and developed their murderous spirits . When they had to fight against other people, they would be more confident in themselves and perform better .

Only the soldiers who saw the blood of their enemies and themselves were qualified to be called warriors .

Now, the arenas were opened to the university students .

Gradually, a unique tradition appeared . Only the soldiers and students who killed these demons could refer to themselves as 'king's warriors' .

The 26th floor to the 31st floor was a buffer area, and there were no facilities . They were filled with deadly magic traps and killing mechanisms .

Different from the traps and mechanisms that were used in the training area, these could easily destroy anyone who was under the level of Six-Star . They were here to stop people from entering the 32nd floor and up .
From the 32nd floor and up, it was the core restricted area of Chambord's military . Only the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who passed strict tests and high-level officials of Chambord could go up there . Chambord's military headquarter, strategic weapon storage, war weapon manufacturing plants, and war weapon research and development lab were located here .

This was the core of Chambord and the most mysterious place in the kingdom .

As Fei walked passed all these unique facilities, the sense of achievement grew stronger and stronger .

In the end, he appeared before a unique teleportation array that was located in the central hall on the 66th floor .

This teleportation array could teleport people into the mysterious space behind the underground cave . There was earthly fire, ice abyss, a ton of [Demons' Remains], and crazy storms . That place was Fei's real destination of this trip .

There were too many mysteries that Fei had to solve .

Chapter 584: 584

-Deep inside the tunnel behind the underground cave-

This was a space that was much larger than the [City of Heroes] . This place was surrounded by an icy, bottomless abyss, leaving the tunnel as the only way to come and go from here .

Cracks could be seen everywhere on the ground, making it look like a dry river bed . However, the heat that could be sensed through the cracks told everyone that this place was way scarier than a dry river bed .

In the middle of this space, there was a pyramid-like mountain of white bones . It was about 700 meters tall, the diameter at the bottom of the mountain was more than 1,000 meters .

The bones were very reflective, and blue will-o'-the-wisps were burning from time to time, adding to the strange yet mystic beauty of this place .

More than a dozen simple tents were constructed beside this mountain of white bones, and crisp metal-colliding noises sounded from around the tents . From these sounds alone, one could tell that the blacksmith who was doing the forging must be a master . That person was able to turn the ear-piercing noise into rhythmic music, making people fell for it .
Suddenly, a blue magic energy flame flashed on a portable magic teleportation station that was located beside the tent .

Then, Fei, Brook, and Torres appeared on it .
"Almost nothing changed…" Fei glanced around and noticed everything . Compared with the huge changes that took place in the [City of Heroes], this mysterious space didn't get altered that much . The only thing different was that there were a few more tents .

Of course, Fei knew the reason .

Every 20 days or so, terrifying ice blocks would be jetted out of the dark abyss, and the cracks on the ground would also shoot out terrifying Flames of Earth Core . The drastic difference in temperature would create rainstorms and tornadoes, and the wind alone could blow Nine-Star Warriors away .

Since the environment in this place was so terrible, it was meaningless trying to construct permanent buildings here .

However, since the Flames of Earth Core was required to melt the [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences], most of the forging of weapons and armors were done here . During the days when there was no rainstorm and tornado, the busty blacksmith from the Diablo World, Charsi, would bring her disciples from Chambord here . They would live in these tents and forge items with iron hammers beside the magic furnaces that could suck the energy from the Flames of Earth Core underground .

"Huh? Alexander, you are here? Long time no see! Eh, you are a lot more handsome and cuter than before! I heard that you are going to marry our [Flower of Rogue] soon? You are very lucky! It is rare to see a powerful, cute, and gentle female rogue like Elena…" As soon as she saw Fei, Charsi, who was swinging her hammer and forging a huge weapon, greeted Fei passionately as she swiped the sweat off her forehead .

Charsi was such a simple yet warm-hearted girl .

Out of all the NPCs from [Rogue Encampment], she was the only one who ignored Fei's identity as the supreme leader of the camp as well as the King of Chambord; she treated Fei like a real friend . Ever since Fei got her that magical hammer, she had been very passionate toward him and called him handsome and cute .

"Eh, thanks for the hard work," Fei walked up and greeted the members in Charsi's team .

There was a ton of renovation happening every day . If it weren't for Charsi and other blacksmiths such as Samuel who all worked day and nights, the progress wouldn't be that quick . Cain, Akara, and Fei only came up with the ideas and the blueprints, and actually turning the blueprints into reality required a lot of skill and confidence . Everything in Chambord that had magic runes engraved on them was made by Charsi and her assistants .

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Charsi's team of 50 to 60 people worked the hardest in Chambord, and they deserved a lot of credits .

"Hahaha, it is not hard at all! We are used to it . If I don't swing the hammer and forge something, I would feel like I lost my loved one!" Charsi showed Fei her magical hammer as a bright smile appeared on her face and her red ponytail fluttered in the air .

This girl was a born-blacksmith; the most enjoyable thing in her life was forging .

In reality, every person in [Rogue Encampment] was obsessed with something . For example, Akara and Cain were in love with magic research, Charsi was obsessed with forging, Merchant Gheed was great at reading other people's minds, and Military Leader Kashya was crazy about killing enemies… It felt like all of them were living for their passions, and no ordinary people could understand them

To Fei, they were all top talents, and he was desperate for their help .

"Yeah, if I don't listen to Master Charsi's hammering noises for a day, I could feel like I haven't eaten anything for the whole day…" this female blacksmith's no . 1 disciple, Samuel, smiled and said to the king as well .

This man was the former no . 1 blacksmith at Chambord, and he didn't want to admit defeat to Charsi . Now, his attitude completely changed, and he saw Charsi as his master . Out of all the blacksmiths here, he got the most progress in skills . He was able to forge a magic item on his own now, and he was a rare blacksmith that even thousands of gold coins couldn't recruit .

The passionate NPCs from [Rogue Encampment] were helping Fei by teaching and raising groups of talents .
Fei went to watch these blacksmith work . He saw Ed Hazard's father, Terry Hazard, working here as well .

This man lost his right leg in the battle against the black-armored enemies, and Fei designed a prosthesis for him . Now, this man was able to stand straight and continue his passion for forging .
The king got interested in forging as well after seeing everyone doing it, and he gave it a shot as well . However, he destroyed six pieces of work-in-process items that were close to becoming magic items in a row, so he gave up; it looked like he didn't have talent in this aspect .

Soon, the blacksmith started to pack up . They took down the tents, put their tools away, and left this place using the portable teleportation station .

The event that would occur every month was about to arrive .

The chilly energy from the abyss was getting more and more intense, and ice blocks shot out from the abyss . Also, more and more heat energy was coming from the cracks on the ground .

Since the rainstorm was about to hit, the blacksmiths who were weak wouldn't be able to stand up against this situation .

Under Fei's persuasion, Brook and Torres also left with the blacksmiths; Fei was the only one who was there .

Soon, as clapping noises sounded, huge drops of water fell . The rain got more aggressive, and it felt like someone was pouring water out of a gigantic bucket .

Bam Bam! Bam!

Huge pieces of ice blocks were tossed up from the bottomless abyss, and the Flames of Earth Core started to appear . All the moisture in the air around Fei was evaporated and turned into liquid before falling onto the ground .

As the cold and hot air mixed, the terrifying tornadoes appeared .

When Fei first encountered this a year ago, he almost lost his life . It was fortunate that he tied himself to a stone pillar made from [Black Stone Essence]; that move saved his life, and it also allowed him to see the mysterious altar at the bottom of the mountain of white bones .

Compared with a year ago, Fei's strength had improved drastically .

Faced with the heavy rainstorm and tornadoes, Fei created an invisible energy sphere and blocked off everything two meters away . Without being affected, Fei calmly walked forward .
Bam! Bam! Bam!

The crazy wind blew all the pieces of [Demons' Remains] into the air .

Soon, the entire mountain made of white bones flew into the air, and it looked like a cloud of bones in the sky . The bones spun and circled in the air as if they were alive, and the ear-piercing bone-grinding noises made when the bones hit each other resonated in the area . The entire scene was terrifying .

As the white bones flew into the air, it revealed the mysterious no-name altar which was at the bottom of the mountain of white bones .

Fei walked toward this mysterious altar and stared at the blue portal on it; he wasn't sure if he should enter or not . After all, he didn't know where it led to .

As the king thought about this question, he looked away from the portal and focused onto the scriptures that were lightly engraved on this mysterious altar .

He made some discoveries .

Chapter 585

This mysterious altar was about six meters tall, it was in the shape of an octagon, and there was a total of eight levels . It was made from a type of unknown black stone, and it felt heavy just by looking at it . The blue portal at the top level of the altar lit up the entire structure, making it look like a lighthouse of hell .

On the surface of the bottom seven levels, there were thick, finger-wide magic engravings . They looked ancient yet fundamental, and the smooth lines formed many magic pathings that were filled with an ancient magic energy sensation . However, Fei, who wasn't a magic connoisseur, didn't understand the magic arrays .

Nevertheless, he knew that the style of magic was from the Mythical Era, which was quite different from the current day magic .

On the side of the eighth level, Fei discovered a line of writing .

"In the name of the great Dwarf God, Fiat, open the gate to the last ancestral place…"

These were written in the ancient language used in the Mythical Era, and the modern language used on the Azeroth Continent was based on it . What was surprising was that the language in Diablo World was strikingly similar to this ancient language . Fei studied this language from Cain and Akara a little, so he was able to make out the meaning of this sentence after a while .
"Dwarf God Fiat?" Fei heard stories about the legendary heroes and gods in the Mythical Era from traveling poets, and Dwarf God Fiat was one of the protagonists in those stories .

It was heard that this dwarf god was one of the terrifying heroes on the side of the demons, and he was the primordial god to all the branches and clans of dwarfs . He controlled one of the ten major god-tier combat weapons, [Ax of Earth], and he killed many powerful masters on the side of the gods . He was well-known and invincible .
However, for some reason, this powerful god still fell .

Now, a lot of people believed that the dwarfs disappeared from the continent because their god suddenly died . The dwarfs were half as tall as a human, lived in underground caves, had long hair and beard, and were all great blacksmiths . Without the protection of their god, they lost their honors and went extinct .

Even though they disappeared, they once formed gigantic empires and had great civilizations . Until now, the marks they left on this continent were still affecting how people lived . For example, they were the ones who created combat weapons .

A famous traveling poet had once said that all the famous god-tier items, god-tier combat weapons, and semi-god-tier combat weapons were all created by the dwarfs from the Mythical Era, and all the skills the blacksmiths on the continent nowadays used were all the inheritance from the dwarfs .

This just went to show how powerful the dwarfs were back in the days .

Fei didn't expect that this altar below the mountain of white bones was the creation of the dwarfs .

From the look of it, it seemed like this altar was crucial to the dwarfs, and it led to the so-called last ancestral place .

Fei looked back at the blue portal on the top of the altar .

After thinking for a bit, he summoned [The Throne of Chaos], sat on it, and entered the portal with a determined expression on his face .

[The Throne of Chaos] could break all the restrictions, and it could protect Fei so that he wouldn't get lost in the spatial and temporal portal . Even if there were dangers, Fei could escape .

With several other trump cards on him, Fei decided to explore this mysterious place .

After all, this was under the back mountain of Chambord . Fei had to make sure that this portal wasn't connected to a dangerous and deadly place . Otherwise, Chambord would be sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any moment, and Fei would have to move the city away .

…
After a series of buzzing noises and blurry visions, Fei appeared in another place .

The wind was lightly blowing, and the bright sun could be seen in the sky; he was no longer in an underground cave .

The danger he was anticipating didn't appear . There were no warrior energy or magic energy surges around him, and there was no cranking metal gear that activated traps .

It just looked like an ordinary deserted and isolated place .

However, when Fei looked up, his expression got interesting .

White bones! Seas of white bones!

All that Fei could see were white bones!

Fei was standing on an octangular altar that was identical to the one under the back mountain of Chambord, and behind him was the blue portal .

Fei had no idea how long these white bones had been here . The soil already buried a lot of them, and new grasses grew on top of them .

"This… Is this the last ancestral place of the dwarfs? It just looks like a ton of corpses were thrown here . " Fei was confused .

"Could it be that the dwarfs have fallen, and their last ancestral place turned from a fancy palace to this as time passed? But where did these skeletons and bones come from? Could it be that all the dwarfs on the continent came here and died off?"
Fei spread out his spirit energy and didn't sense any danger, so he slowly walked off the altar .

He started his detailed investigate .
Soon, he made discoveries .

This should be a valley that was entirely in isolation . To be exact, all four sides of this place were huge mountains, blocking people out . The mountains were also all tilting inward drastically, and it looked like they were about to collapse at any time . They blocked most of the sunlight that would otherwise enter this isolated valley that covered an area of a dozen square kilometers . The opening on the top was a circle that had a diameter of about 600 meters .

As Fei walked around, all he could see were white bones .

Upon closer inspection, he realized that most of the bones were thick . The joints were the same size as humans', but most of the bones were half the length . It was clear that these were the bones and skeletons of the dwarfs .

However, there were the bones and skeletons of other unknown creatures .

Some of the bones were so thin that it was shocking, and some were so big that it was unbelievable . There were also the skeletons of creatures that had wings and giants that were more than ten meters tall…

Fei felt like the dwarfs and these creatures were enemies .

As Fei wandered around, he saw too many skeletons that were mingled together since they were battling when they were alive . Most of them had armors on, and their weapons punctured their enemies' bodies while their enemies' weapons pierced through theirs . Also, some skeletons had more than a dozen spears stuck to them, displaying how terrifying the battle was .

Although it looked like this battle happened a long time ago, Fei could still sense the bloodiness and the cruelness of it .

Most of the skeletons were broken into pieces while a small number of them were complete .

The complete ones had the whitest bones, and there were still faint warrior energy and magic energy surges on them . These skeletons were all insanely powerful when they were alive, so bits of their auras were still around years later .

Fei randomly picked up a lightly-rusty blade, and he knocked it with his knuckle .

Tink!
As the crisp sound resonated in the area, the rust fell off, and the body of the blade turned shiny and bright .

"This… the weapon of the dwarves… . . It is a combat weapon?!" Fei was shocked . He didn't expect that a random weapon he picked up was a combat weapon . After the rust fell off quickly, it felt like this blade was newly forged; time didn't leave a mark on it .

Fei lightly slashed his finger, and blood dripped down .

Fei's barbarian character had an insane body! Even Sun-Class Lords' bodies couldn't be compared to his . Ordinary weapons couldn't even leave a white mark on his skin, but this blade created a wound on his finger easily!

"Such a sharp weapon! This must be a level 5 combat weapon at least! It is a treasure in the outside world! It must be a masterpiece of the dwarves! It could increase the combat ability of an ordinary warrior by five times!"

Fei instantly realized the value of this weapon . Then, as if he was shocked by lightning, he screamed out in excitement .

Chapter 586: 586

"Hahahaha! There are tens of thousands of weapons in this isolated valley! Almost every skeleton has a weapon in its hand… If they are all sharp like this blade and are combat weapons, then this place is literally a great weapon storage for Chambord! Hahaha, these weapons are much better than the weapons made from [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences] . Even Charsi couldn't forge out weapons on this level yet!"

Fei looked around at the skeletons in the area as well as the weapons that were stuck in their bones, and he got a little excited .

After placing this combat weapon into his storage space, Fei's eyes landed on a sword that was two meters away from him .

He waved his hand, and an energy rushed out his body and pulled that sword into his hand .

Just like how the blade Fei first picked up, there were rusts and soil with mosses on the body of the sword . After experiencing the passage of time, it gave a feel of vicissitude . Fei shook his wrist, and the rusts and soil fell off the sword, revealing the black body .

There was a long blood groove that was as thick as a thumb on the body of this sword, and many thin patterns were connected to it .
A fire-elemental energy surge soon appearing on it .

In addition, the tip of the sword looked like the split tongue of a snake . The tip separated into two, and it felt like the strange dark light shining on the sword could devour all bright lights, making the sword look like a wicked beauty .
Fei lightly swung the sword, and a burning sword energy dashed out .

This was a fire-elemental level 5 combat weapon, not inferior to the wind-elemental level 5 combat weapon that he just got!

"Hahahahahaha! I'm too damn lucky! There is such a valuable place connected to the underground cave of Chambord City!

"Could it be that I'm a real demi-god who was left on the continent by a powerful deity?" Fei thought after getting such a large amount of treasures .

After placing this sword into his storage space, Fei waved his hand and pulled over a spear that was more than three meters long . He shook it with his hands and was about to laugh, but he suddenly felt like his hands were too light . Then, the smile froze on his face, and it was a little funny .

It turned out that this spear cracked and broke into pieces after Fei shook it . Right now, there was only a short stick that was less than 50 centimeters long in his hands .

"This…" Fei didn't know what was going on, so he paid close attention to this weapon .

Although this spear was a combat weapon, it was at a lower level compared with the blade and the sword . After many years, its uniqueness as a combat weapon went away, and it was now even worse than an ordinary weapon . How could it withstand Fei's great strength?"

"Eh… It looks like not all weapons are well-kept . After a long time passed by, the low-level combat weapons are turned into regular weapons, and the two combat weapons I just collected were probably high-level combat weapons before falling into level 5…"

Fei instantly thought through a lot of things, and it greatly disappointed the king who was just getting excited over the prospect of this place .

As he walked around and investigated a bit more, his hypothesis was proven .

There were about 4,000 weapons in this valley, but most of them were destroyed . Only less than 1,000 of them were not damaged, but most of them had either fallen into the level of ordinary weapons or completely rusted out .

Even the materials required for the lowest-leveled combat weapon were rare magic ores, and they had their spirits . They were hard to melt and forge, and the weapons made from them were overpowering . However, these weapons were still too weak against the passage of time . Now, most of the weapons in this valley were useless .
As Fei walked around, he tried to pick out the complete combat weapons from the bones on the battleground .

After an hour, Fei finally got more than 20 combat weapons that still had their spirits . Most of them were below level 5, but there was a huge black sword that was a level 8 combat weapon, enough to increase the power of a warrior by eight times . If it were a level higher, it would be comparable to the [Sand of Earthly Anger] of Jax and the [Black Crystal Wand] of St . Germain, which were semi-god-tier combat weapons, A . K . A level 9 combat weapons .

Fei pondered around quite slow; he was paying a lot more attention to the stuff around him .

After about 20 minutes of walking, there were more and more skeletons, and the ground was uplifted .

The deeper he got into the valley, the more bones, more soil, and more weeds there were .

It was clear that these skeletons were all powerful masters in the past . Even though their flesh rotted away as time passed by, their bones were still as firm as iron, emitting sharp energy surges . Also, the bones couldn't be stained by dirt, corroded by the rain, and blown away by the wind . Even though weeds were growing in the area, these white skeletons looked bright and smooth as if they were brand-new, and they were much stronger than the [Demons' Remains]

Fei summoned [The Throne of Chaos], and he stood on it in mid-air; he didn't step on the skeletons of these masters .

He looked up and saw a silver stone monument that was about 20 meters tall and several hundred meters away . As many skeletons surrounded it, its look was as eye-catching as a huge reef on the surface of a sea .
Fei instantly moved to the stone monument, and he discovered that there were no bones ten meters around it .

There were 40 dwarfs tightly guarding this stone monument . It was clear that they were dwarf masters when they were alive .
With magic armors on, they circled this stone monument, and they guarded it like a defense wall . Even though their bodies were pierced through by many weapons, they didn't back off for a single step .

The magic armors on them were precious; they were still shiny and bright with faint magic energy surges on them .

These 40 dwarf masters were probably all Sun-Class Elites when they were alive since Fei made a terrifying discovery . Even though a long time had passed, the flesh on these 40 dwarfs' bodies didn't rot away . Through the armors, their facials features were still sharp, and their skin that was harder than godly iron sheets only contracted, sticking to the bones . They looked like desiccated corpses, and Fei wasn't sure if their internal organs dried up as well .

At the moment, the intense murderous spirits on them were sharp, making them feel like live beings .

Six-Star Warriors wouldn't be able to get within ten meters of them; these warriors would be turned into clouds of blood mist by the murderous spirits if they were too close .

Terrifying!

At this moment, Fei felt a great admiration toward these dwarfs . As he looked at these 40 powerful masters, he felt like the blood in his body got ignited . "Such a heroic presence! Even though they are dead, their corpses could still stand and block the terrifying enemies outside of the circle!" he thought .

"Such heroes! But what are they protecting?"

Fei looked behind these dwarf masters and saw an area that was bright red; it looked like this area was soaked by the blood of a god . The thick murderous spirit was intense here, killing all the grasses in the area .

Fei, who was equivalent to a top-tier Half Moon Elite and wearing a pair of level 6 battle boots from Diablo World, felt like iron needles were poking the bottom of his feet when he got off the throne and walked on this ground . He felt like the murderous spirit was destroying his feet .

Soon, Fei's attention was drawn by a figure who was beside the monument .

It was a dwarf who was half sitting and half lying on the stairs that led to the stone monument .

He was dead, but his body didn't change at all . His facial features were life-like, and it felt like he died only moments ago .
His figure was bigger than ordinary dwarfs, and he wasn't wearing a set of armor . Instead, he was wearing a rare blue robe, a silver silk belt, and a golden crown that had godly gems inlaid in it . There was a one-meter-tall golden double ax beside him, and he was holding onto a black book that was about 40 centimeters thick with one hand and pointing at the sky with the other . His expression looked angry as his eyes were wide open, looking as if he was condemning or questioning something .

Chapter 587: 587

This man was the emperor of the dwarfs; the crown on his head explained it .

Fei discovered that this emperor died in the most painful way possible; there was a big hole in his chest, and his heart was ripped away from his body . What was surprising was that blood was still dripping from this big wound .

Different from the 40 dwarf masters around the monument, this emperor's corpse didn't dry up at all . His blood was still bright red, and he looked like he was at his prime .

His eyes were wide open, and there was an angry and unwilling expression on his face . He was looking up at the sky as if there was a terrifying enemy there .

This scene was strange and terrifying .

Fei felt like someone was blowing cold air onto his neck, and all the hair on his body stood up .
Many years had passed since this dwarf emperor died, but his blood was still bright and contained energy; it felt like he was going to resurrect at any moment . It was clear that his strength was higher than the 40 dwarf masters who were protecting this monument; Sun-Class Lords were probably ants in his eyes when he was still alive . However, he was still killed by an unknown enemy and got his heart taken away; it was truly shocking .

From the look of it, it seemed like he was sneak-attacked, and he didn't have time to react . This just went to show how powerful this enemy was .
"How powerful is that level? Gods?"

Fei felt like he understood the Azeroth Continent too little . He never thought about levels above Sun-Class Realm; he believed that the level of Sun-Class was the summit of cultivation .

From how things looked, it seemed like he couldn't be more wrong . At least this dead dwarf emperor in front of Fei right now was beyond the Sun-Class Realm, and the enemy who killed him was even more powerful .

"Are there gods in this world?"

In myths and legends, a drop of blood from a god could instantly kill a Sun-Class Lord . What level was that? Could these gods really live for eternity?

Fei reached out his hand and lightly touched the blood on this dwarf emperor's wound .

As soon as he touched it, he felt like his entire finger was getting burned by the hellfire; it was excruciating, and he thought he placed his finger in a pot of lava .

Even though his body was tough, a layer of skin on his finger was instantly burned off . That tiny bit of blood was comparable to the Flames of Earthly Core, and it was insane .

The result of this experiment was similar to the legend where a drop of blood from a god could kill a master .

Fei was clear that the energy contained in this bit of blood was long lost due to the passage of time, and it was no longer that powerful . Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get within ten meters of this emperor .

Too powerful!

This dwarf emperor who died many years ago was still this powerful!

Even Emperor Yassin who said that he was inferior to no one probably couldn't be compared to this emperor!
Fei lowered his head, and he suddenly froze .

On the stone stairs in front of this dwarf emperor, there was a pair of light footprints… Wait, they were actually a pair of hoof prints; they weren't left by a human . These hoof prints were about two centimeters deep into the stairs, and each of them was about 50 centimeters wide .

These two hoof prints were abrupt, and they were emitting murderous spirits, giving Fei the chills .

Fei felt like the creature that left this pair of hoof prints was the murderer of this dwarf emperor .

It looked like the enemies of the dwarfs who killed all these dwarfs at their last ancestral place were not humans but rather unknown and unidentified creatures .

Of course, all of this was still Fei's hypothesis .

Fei finally landed his eyes on the thick book in this dwarf emperor's hand . After some hesitation, he walked up and carefully took this book out .

He lightly blew the dust off the cover page before carefully opening the book . It looked like a diary, and it was written in the text used in the Mythical Era .

The first few hundred pages were stained by blood and couldn't be read, and only the last 20 pages or so were readable .

"The war broke out! It finally broke out!"

"… The land of gods and the land of demons are both invaded by those terrifying devils . Those damn pseudo gods from another space! How dare they invade the land of gods? I curse them! These lunatics couldn't escape the punishment from the gods! They will be wiped out for sure…"

"Damn it! How is this possible? Those dame pseudo gods have the advantage?"

"The situation is not bright . Both the gods and the demons fell into a terrible situation…"

"Ten days after the war broke out, all the affiliated races and species of the gods and demons sensed the gloomy outlook . Catastrophes continue to appear, and chaos are everywhere! I heard that the elf empire got attacked by the pseudo gods, and they suffered great casualties…"

"How is this possible? The God of Fire and the God of Magic died? Wind Demon and Strength Demon got decapitated as well? Damn! Even these deities are falling? God… I hope the great Primordial God Fiat is still ok . He has a major god-tier combat weapon, the [Ax of Earth], with him . He is invincible, and he could defeat those pseudo gods for sure!"
"Sixteen days have passed since the beginning of the war . Today is a dark day . Unbelievable bad news came from the land of gods . The great Primordial God Fiat died in battle . God! Is the doomsday of the dwarfs coming?"

"I don't know how to calm the empire down for the last few days . Only the Imperial Priest and I know about the news of Primordial God Fiat's death . This news couldn't be let out! Otherwise, the dwarf empire will collapse… Ancestors of our Gerard Empire… Please tell me where the destiny of our dwarfs is at!"
"Twenty-two days have passed since the war started . The Sid Empire of the elves lasted less than a day… Did the pseudo gods get grand victories in the land of gods and the land of demons? The gods and demons disappeared, and these devils started attacking the species on the continent . They are like hungry locusts! They leave nothing behind! The Elf Queen and her priests all died in battle, and the holy city of the elves got conquered . I heard that only a few members of the royal family of the elves escaped and went to the Giant Tribe for protection .

"Today is the 30th day . After three days of battle, the Big Empire of the giants got conquered…"

"Today is the 33rd day . The empire of the ugly goblins also got conquered in three days . The magic missile launchers and the god-killing mechanisms couldn't even stop the pseudo gods…"

"Today is the 34th day . I, Gerard Bill, the 134th emperor of the Gerard Empire of the dwarfs, gave out the war mobilization order! The unyielding dwarf warriors! The war is inevitable, and we need to fight to continue our race!"

"Today is the 36th day . The emperor of the orcs died, and the Saint Mountain Haigal of the orcs has fallen! The orcs got wiped out!"

"The flames of war finally arrived in our Gerard Empire!"

"Bad news! We did go to the underground city under the Ferren Mountain, but more than three million dwarf warriors died for their homeland!"

"Today is the 40th day . The sturdy dwarf warriors pushed back the invading forces of those devils for the first time, but we lost more than half of the soldiers and warriors…"

"We only have one last underground city left . Darkness has arrived… I can sense the intense death sensation…"

"The Imperial Priest died…"

"Battle… Battle… Battle…"

"We have less than 10,000 soldiers left…"

"There are too many enemies; we couldn't kill them all . They are rushing toward us like waves! We could only open the path that leads to the last ancestral place . I hope that godly runes engraved on the walls of the ancestral place could stop their attacks…"
"We got a moment to breathe, but there are only less than 3,000 of us left . Ten days ago, we were a huge empire that had tens of millions of members and millions of warriors… This is an indescribable disaster! Civilizations are destroyed, and the continent is about to be shattered…"

"They discovered the location of the last ancestral place…"

"A powerful entity is attacking the ancestral place, and even the godly runes couldn't defend against it…"

"That entity is approaching…"

"We are in a corner…"

"If anyone from later eras could see my writing, please believe that the dwarfs battled to save the continent . We may lose in the end, but the proud dwarf warriors would never admit defeat…"

"The last moment is arriving . The Gerard Empire of the dwarfs that has a history of more than 6,000 years is about to end . The 40 Godly Pillar Generals are guarding the monument of our Primordial God . I, Gerard Bill the emperor, is going to fight alongside our warriors in this final battle . I will bleed for the honor of the empire until I die…"

"Huh? Finally, a pseudo god! That creature is really coming…"

Chapter 588

This was a diary that recorded the doomsday of the continent .

The record ended here, and the writing became unclear and messy; the last few words were barely recognizable .

From the look of things, this dwarf king experienced great shock and could no longer continue writing .

Fei exhaled deeply as he slowly closed this bloody book .

After seeing it, a series of clear yet tragic and destructive images appeared in his head . He could imagine how it felt when this dwarf king lived through that terrifying era .

The gigantic empires were crushed by the powerful enemies one after another, and they couldn't do anything about it . Darkness enveloped the land, and numerous races went extinct . Numerous gods and demons died in battles, and every single creature on the continent felt desperate . No one could see a future, and almost all the creatures were wiped out in about a month and a half!
It was the doomsday!

Although the diary only recorded the significant events that took place with a few words, the desperation and hopelessness that the emperor of the dwarfs, Gerard Bill, felt was conveyed to Fei through the pages, and it was suffocating .
After reading this blood-stained diary, Fei felt like a massive piece of stone was weighing on his mind .

The diary ended abruptly as if something terrible happened, and Fei guessed that the terrifying enemies, who were 'pseudo gods from another space', appeared and killed this emperor of the dwarfs instantly . When the heart of this emperor was taken away, those 40 Godly Pillar Generals probably didn't even have time to react .

In the end, all the dwarf masters in the last ancestral place battled until death, and none of them escaped from the tragic ending .

Afterward, those terrifying enemies left this place . They ignored the corpses of the dwarfs and their own peers and didn't even take the combat weapons on the ground .

As he thought about what he read, Fei looked at the skeletons around him and tried to organize his thoughts .

He had a ton of questions on his mind . For example, who were those pseudo gods? How were they able to kill the gods and the demons who dominated the Azeroth Continent for ages? How could they wipe through the seven super empires created by the affiliated races of the two groups? How did they complete the bloody massacres so quick? And where did the locust-like devils go after this? Why weren't they documented in the history books? Why were the 'pseudo gods from another space' not known to humans? Did they leave the Azeroth Continent after the killing and the conquer? Or, were they waiting for another opportunity while hiding on the continent?

Of course, although these questions were on Fei's mind, there was one particular question that was bothering Fei .

"Why aren't humans mentioned in this diary?"

According to the writings of Gerard Bill, the enemies were known as pseudo gods from another space, and there were numerous devils under their commands; they couldn't be exterminated . They combed through the continent and made several races and species go extinct . These devils showed no mercy, but why weren't humans mentioned?

From the look of things, only humans survived that massacre and became the ruler of the land!

Could it be that the humans didn't exist back then?

Impossible! According to books that Fei read, humans existed in the Mythical Era . In addition, humans were ranked as one of the top ten species alongside the elves and the dwarfs .

Therefore, Fei couldn't understand why humans weren't mentioned in the diary and why this catastrophe that occurred in the Mythical Era wasn't recorded in the history books .

In the current history books, it was said that the gods and demons battled each other and ended up destroying everything, obliterating the Mythical Era; this was a fact that many historians reached consensus on . It was also said that the affiliated races and species of the gods and demons such as the elves, dwarfs, orcs, dragons, and sea tribes (similar to Slithereen in WoW) all participated in the battles and ended up destroying themselves . Only humans were able to survive that by using their strong learning and adaptation abilities as well as powerful reproduction capabilities .

It was clear that the history as the people on the Azeroth Continent knew it conflicted with what Gerard Bill wrote .

"Who is lying?"

As he looked around at the numerous skeletons as well as the corpses of the 40 Godly Pillar Generals and the emperor of the dwarfs, Fei leaned toward the records on the bloody book . No one would try to lie to the future generations when he didn't even know if the continent was going to be around .

This diary that was stained by blood was more reliable than the vague and unproven legends .

Fei felt like he accidentally discovered a secret that was concealed for ages .
Who destroyed the Mythical Era? What roles did the humans play during that time?

Fei lightly exhaled and shook his head . He stopped thinking about those questions since it was not relevant to the current time . He placed the bloody book into his storage space and continued to observe the surroundings .
As he glanced at the corpse of Gerard Bill once more, he discovered that there were fine engravings on the stone monument behind this emperor; it looked like it recorded the locations of the stars in the sky since small silver dots that were the size of a fingertip were all over this statue . Also, there were thin silver lines that connected all these dots, combining them into something unbreakable .

"What are these?" Fei thought as he lightly rubbed the dots .

This was the dwarfs' last ancestral place, and the 40 Godly Pillar Generals and the emperor of the dwarfs all died protecting it . If one told Fei that this stone monument was a simple statue, Fei wouldn't believe it .

However, after a while of observations, Fei couldn't detect any magic energy or warrior energy surges on it . It was very common and ordinary .

This irregular discovery made Fei even more curious .

"Looks like I need to give this to Cain and Akara to study!"

After Fei made up his mind, he didn't spend more time on it . He made sure he didn't overlook anything, and he walked forward to see if he could find anything else .

On the way, he picked up a few other combat weapons that weren't corroded .

Unfortunately, they were of low levels; none of them was above level 5 .

After two hours, Fei walked around this entire valley . Except for the interesting discoveries he made at the center of the valley, white skeletons and bones were everywhere else .

On the side of the walls, Fei saw some godly rune engravings that lost their energies .

Fei pictured the scene where the walls in this place were empowered by the godly runes . Even if regular walls were strengthened by godly runes, they would become indestructible! No Sun-Class Lord could leave a mark on these walls .

Except for that portal on the altar, no one was able to get in here theoretically .
However, this place was still conquered and destroyed .

Fei looked up at the opening of this valley and wondered where this place was . As he was about to fly out of the rough-circular opening above him that had a diameter of 500 meters and check out this area, he suddenly noticed something that he overlooked before, and his expression froze on his face!

"How is this… possible?"

Chapter 589

t

Fei rubbed his eyes and thought that he saw an illusion, but…

Whoosh!

He fluttered the silver sword energy wings on his back, and he dashed out of this valley like a shooting arrow . As an ear-piercing noise sounded, he instantly appeared above this opening and got out of the valley .

As he put away his silver wings and hovered in mid-air, he looked down and got shocked!

He finally discovered that the so-called opening of this valley was a clear handprint! The five fingers and the knuckles on them were clearly imprinted into the ground, and it felt like a giant pressed down his hand!

A gigantic handprint!
Fei felt like the shock he was experiencing was suffocating him .

At this moment, he realized that this valley wasn't a valley to begin with; it was initially an underground city just like the underground cave under the back mountain of Chambord . It was heard that the dwarfs like living underground, and they had incredible digging and forging abilities . Their last ancestral place shouldn't be a valley but an underground city as well .
That was more reasonable .

Unfortunately, the ceiling of this underground city was somehow destroyed by a powerful entity from the sky, turning it into a valley .

Fei already confirmed that godly runes empowered the walls and the ceiling of the underground city, but this entity was able to easily destroy them all together and open the last ancestral place of the dwarfs .

Terrifying power!

As Fei thought back to the last few sentences recorded on the bloody diary, Fei could imagine what happened .

The emperor of the dwarfs, Gerard Bill, retreated to the last ancestral place with less than 3,000 dwarfs and wanted to use the godly runes on the walls and ceiling of this underground city to block the terrifying enemies . Suddenly, a powerful entity struck down at the last ancestral place from the sky, and it destroyed their last safe haven . Then, numerous devils rushed into the underground city through the opening on the ceiling and exterminated the last bit of the dwarfs .

That scene was dark and depressing .

How cruel and devastating!

Through this giant handprint, Fei felt the power of the ones who destroyed the Mythical Era once for all .

It was fortunate that these powerful entities weren't around anymore . Otherwise, if they were on the Azeroth Continent now, even people like the Continental Martial Saint, Maradona, couldn't deal with them . They could be able to sweep through the continent once more easily .

As a cold breeze blew by and gave Fei some chills, he finally slowly woke up from the huge shock that he was experiencing .

He slowly looked up from that huge handprint and observed the surroundings .

There were many mountains around him, and these mountains were connected and extended into the sky . On the hills, there were a ton of old trees that were more than 1,000 years old, and these trees created a huge forest . The spring was here, and all new buds and sprouts grew out of the branches, making the area bright green . The opening that led to the last ancestral place was in between five tall mountains, and there were a lot of tall trees and thick vines around it . Looking down from the sky, that place looked like a natural pit . If masters flew by on top of it, they wouldn't be able to spot it and discovered the hidden mystery .
No wonder this place wasn't discovered by anyone else even though it had been around for a long time .

"How far is this place to Chambord? From the look of it, this place looks similar to the mountains behind the back mountain of Chambord…" Fei thought as he looked around, confirmed the directions, and glanced behind him .

He was shocked once more .

Even though he was surprised many times today and got a little numb, he still couldn't help but freeze after seeing what he saw .

About ten kilometers way, he saw a mysterious yet silver ancient city in the sunset . Its three sides were surrounded by mountains, and streaks of cooking smoke were coming out of chimneys . In front of its defense wall was a wide river, and a large plain was on the other side of the river…

Chambord Castle!

Fei didn't expect to see Chambord so close! That mysterious portal on the ancient altar under the mountain of white bones didn't teleport him to a place ten of thousands of kilometers away . Instead, he was only moved about ten kilometers away . The last ancestral place of the dwarfs was really close to Chambord; they were like neighbors .

After the initial shock, Fei shook his head and tried to digest all of this .

There must be connections between all of these .

Ancient Chambord City, underground cave, endless underground corridor, mysterious space, [Demons' Remains], [Black Stone Essences], mountain of white bones, mysterious altar, ancient portal, last ancestral place…
All of these seemed coincidental together, but they were truly connected .

Fei remembered Brook telling him that the city of Chambord was much older than the history of the royal family of Chambord . Before the Zenit Empire rose up and the royal family of Chambord got canonized, this city was already here . No one knew who created this 'immortal' city, but people knew that Emperor Yassin grew into power and established the Zenit Empire, and the people who were living in this city decided to surrender to this great emperor and be controlled by the empire .
Fei was now pretty sure that this city and the underground cave were all a part of the heritage left by the dwarfs .

Even though the dwarfs were wiped out, the structures they built on the land lived through the passage of time . Many years later, they were discovered by some homeless people who wandered here, and these people cleaned them up and started living in them .

After many generations passed by, the people living in this city forgot about the origin of the city . Later on, the royal family of Chambord discovered the underground cave and used it as a prison . After that, Fei came to this world, renovated the underground cave, and discovered more of the ruins and heritages of the dwarfs .

This explanation was more logical and more natural to follow .

Fei hovered in mid-air as he thought everything through . Then, he looked at the mountains around him and the peaceful Chambord City not too far away . Suddenly, a lightbulb lit up in his head, and he suddenly got a great idea regarding Chambord's future development path .

After getting that idea, he went back into the valley .

After spending about five hours, he picked out all the combat weapons that were still functional, and there were about 60 of them . 90% of them were below level 5, but there was one level 8 combat weapon, two level 7 swords, one level 7 dagger, and one level 6 battle bow .

Even in the Zenit Empire's eyes, this much combat weapons were a huge amount of treasures .

Fei felt like the imperial weaponry storage in St . Petersburg didn't even have as much combat weapons as he had right now .

After Fei was done with everything, it was almost midnight . The moon was bright, and there weren't many shiny stars . The mountains in the area looked like huge demon beasts that were crouching, but Chambord City that was about ten kilometers away was lit up by all the lights .

Fei stood in mid-air after traveling through that opening in the ceiling, and his expression suddenly turned serious . As he concentrated his spirit energy slowly but steadily, he tried his best to communicate with the Sky Castle that he hid into the void .

Fei emitted tiny streaks of spirit energy, and they quickly merged into this space like waterdrops into the ocean .

Fei even sensed that the mysterious stone pillar in his body started to vibrate rapidly . It buzzed and expressed a joyous emotion as if it was a kid who got a lollipop .
This went on for about six minutes .

As Fei was getting dizzy and his spirit energy was about to be depleted, a mysterious change took place in the sky .

Chapter 590

A series of white ripples appeared in the night as if a drop of water fell into the ocean, and something huge was breaking through the space and dropped down from the sky; it was an awesome sight .

Through the white ripples, a gigantic city slowly appeared in this world .

The Sky Castle!

Fei was summoning the legendary ancient city, Sky Castle, that he discovered in the small world in the Mythical Palace .

The magnificent castle, the reversed cone-shaped mountain at the bottom of the city, and the tall silver walls…

This incredible floating city slowly appeared as if it gradually moved out of a waterfall, and the shock it brought to Fei was indescribable . It felt like a god was coming down from heaven .
Soon, the Sky Castle appeared in this world silently, and it blocked the bright moon . Its huge shadow enveloped a large land mass, giving people a suffocating sensation .

Even though Fei had seen the Sky Castle before, he was shocked when he saw it again .
Perhaps it was connected to the mysterious stone pillar in his body, or maybe it was because Fei's blood soaked the Mythical Altar as well the mysterious stone pillar, Fei felt like he and the Sky Castle were connected by blood . In a sense, Fei was able to control this legendary city .

However, the Sky Castle was giant, and a ton of spirit energy was required to move this city around .

With Fei's current spirit energy level, he was barely able to move it .

For the last while, he felt like the mysterious stone pillar in his body was expressing a simple yet mystic emotion, and he felt like this emotion was coming from the Sky Castle and got to him by traveling through the void . It was hinting at the king, telling him that he couldn't just keep the city in the void; it was consuming too much energy, and the Sky Castle was going to get lost in the void and couldn't be traced and located one day .

This mystic yet unexplainable emotion was bothering Fei for the last while, and he knew that he had to summon the Sky Castle back into the world soon .

Also, he was clear that if this legendary city appeared on this continent, a lot of people were going to be moved . By then, all kinds of powerful masters and mighty hermits would come and try to rob it from him . With his current strength, he wouldn't be able to protect it .

He had been hesitating for the last few days, and he had an idea after observing the tall mountains around the last ancestral place of the dwarfs .

Therefore, Fei carefully summoned the huge Sky Castle without getting anyone's attention, and he lightly dropped it down between the mountain; he was aiming the tip of the reversed cone-shaped mountain at the bottom of the city at the handprint opening on top of the last ancestral place of the dwarfs .

Boom!

The mountains in the area shook, and the ground was cracked .

As the Sky Castle pressed down, the smaller mountains and hills in the area were crushed . The firmness of the silver reversed cone-shaped mountain at the bottom of the city was much stronger than regular rocks, and the Sky Castle slowly merged with the ground . Although the soil continued to sink around the Sky Castle and many trees were destroyed, the legendary city finally successfully landed .

The clouds of dust soon settled, and the situation was much better than Fei anticipated .

The Sky Castle perfectly sealed up the last ancestral place of the dwarfs . Although it crushed several mountains in the area, it allowed this legendary city to merge into the surroundings . It didn't look abrupt, and it felt like this castle had been here forever .
"Although a lot of masters know about the Sky Castle from legends, almost none of them had seen it before . There aren't many historical recordings on it, to begin with, and it has perfectly embedded itself into this terrain . Even if someone sees this castle, they wouldn't be able to recognize it . Eh, if I tell others that this is a place of the heritage of the dwarfs, they would believe it . This explanation could buy me some time . After a while, I will be able to complete the Hell Mode in Diablo World . Even if others end up recognizing it, I won't be afraid!"

The appearance of this giant city covered up the last ancestral place of the dwarfs . The secret about the dwarfs including their emperor, Gerard Bill, those 40 Godly Pillar Generals, all those skeletons, and that shocking truth about the past would be hidden again, and they wouldn't be discovered in a long time .

This fitted Fei's plan .

For some reason, the king felt like it was better if he didn't make the information in Gerard Bill's bloody diary public .

After doing all that, Fei walked around the castle and tried his best to hide and destroy the evidence that could lead people to think that this city fell from the sky .

As he was about to leave, something unexpected happened again; that mysterious stone pillar in Fei's body lightly shook .

At the same time, as if it received a command, the Sky Castle that was now resting peacefully in the mountains suddenly released streaks of white lights . These lights weren't bright, and they quickly dispersed around the castle . In the end, they formed a giant transparent sphere, and it enveloped the Sky Castle as well as about 50 mountains in the area .
"This… is the invisible energy sphere?"

Fei suddenly recalled how he got to the Sky Castle in the level 36 region in the Mythical Palace . At that time, he encountered something similar . He didn't see this castle, and he somehow wandered around and got past the invisible energy sphere before discovering the existence of the Sky Castle .
Whoosh! Fei dashed several kilometers into the sky .

When he looked down, as he expected, he could only see many mountains and trees in the forest; everything seemed primitive . The Sky Castle that had tall silver walls and buildings were nowhere to be seen .

That invisible energy sphere helped the Sky Castle to achieve 100% stealth!

Fei was genuinely surprised .

He was planning for the worst when he summoned this legendary city onto the Azeroth Continent, but now it seemed like he didn't need to worry about others getting suspicious over the sudden appearance of this giant city . This invisible energy sphere could block off all visuals, auras, and sensations . Even Sun-Class Lords would have a hard time spotting this legendary city without going inside of the invisible energy sphere .

Now, Fei was sure that the mysterious stone pillar in his body was tightly connected to the Sky Castle; perhaps it was the core component of the city and functioned similarly to a remote control .

It was obvious that there were a lot more mystic and magical features in the Sky Castle that were waiting for him to discover .

In the legends, the invisible sky fortress had more power than flying in the sky and going stealth .

After Fei spent a bit more time and inspected the area around the Sky Castle, he calculated the time and was worried that the people at Chambord might be concerned since he 'disappeared' for a long time already . Therefore, he instantly dashed toward the Chambord City .

The wind fluttered the king's long black hair as he flew in the sky, and he was thinking about the plans that were going to be realized next .

When he looked down casually, he suddenly saw a row of mountains .

"Huh? These mountains…" Fei suddenly noticed that there was a row of mountains between the Sky Castle and the Chambord Castle . They were much taller than the mountains in the area, and it felt like they were swords that were piercing into the sky .

Fei counted them and got the number 12 . It was a perfect number for Fei's upcoming plans .

Chapter 591: 591

Fei was no longer in a hurry after discovering this .

He slowed down his flying speed and carefully observed the surroundings . He even landed on the 12 mountains and inspected them .

The more he looked around, the happier he was .

Fei felt like these 12 mountains were placed here by the gods specifically for his upcoming plans . Although these mountains were in a row, they weren't in a straight line, and they weren't blocking each other's view of the area .

In addition, each of the mountains soared into the sky . Standing at their peaks, one would be able to see the Chambord City that wasn't too far away . Especially for masters in the Moon-Class Realm, they would be able to see things happening tens of kilometers away, and they could for sure inspect the activities that were happening inside Chambord .

Out of all 12 mountains, even the one that was the furthest from Chambord was only less than ten kilometers away . This distance was nothing in the eyes of a Moon-Class Elite; he or she could instantly dash into the city in a few seconds .
"Hahahah! I will create the statues of the 12 Zodiac Constellations here! There will be 12 Guardian Palaces of the Golden Saints on these 12 Golden Saint Mountains, and they would be surrounding the Sky Castle and protecting Chambord! Hahaha, this is a perfect opportunity! I will build this place into a saint land on the continent! Hahaha!" Fei laughed proudly as he thought of that .

Right now, Fei already appointed saints for the following constellations: Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, and Sagittarius . However, the others were still missing . Also, out of the gold saints, only Leo Saint Lampard reached the realm of Moon-Class; all others were around the Eight-Star level . According to Fei's plan, all official golden saints had to be on the Moon-Class Realm before they were qualified to get on these 12 Golden Saint Mountains and become the real Guardian Saints .
However, this plan couldn't be completed in a few days; it was a long-term project .

Fei fantasied about the day when Chambord had more than a dozen Moon-Class Elites as he fluttered his silver sword energy wings and disappeared into the darkness .

…

-The dining hall inside the King's Palace-

"Hey! Alexander, you are going to become someone's husband! How can you come home this late at night? Angela had been worrying about you for the entire night! This is too much!" Emma placed her hands around her waist as she pouted and questioned the king .

It was clear that this loli was very hungry . As she complained, she quickly took out the food that was placed in the magic boxes to keep them warm . Then, she put the utensils onto the table and called over the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, who were about to fall asleep .

Then, the seven people and Little Raccoon started to have dinner .

"Humph! If you aren't going to be back tonight, we will all starve! You can't do this anymore… Angela is dropping the standards… She treats you too well…"

As she placed a piece of golden crispy pork into her mouth, Emma wrinkled her nose, and the few freckles at the top of her nose looked extremely cute under the light from the magic chandelier in the dining hall .

This loli, who was vicious with her words but genuinely kind and nice on the inside, was now taken in by Fei as his little sister, and she was a little princess who was loved by the people around her . Although she seemed a little mean on the surface, she was a sensible and understanding girl . The fact that she didn't leave Fei and Angela when they were in a bad situation won her the appreciation of other members of Chambord .

"Alright, aright . You forgot about our 12 rules for the dining table . We shouldn't talk too much when we are eating…" Fei pretended to be annoyed as he said .

In the meantime, he grabbed onto the neck of Little Raccoon that jumped onto the dining table sneakily and tried to help its stomach on its own . The king placed it in front of its dining spot, stared at it despite it felt like it was mistreated, and turned to Emma, saying, "Emma, if you complain this much, I'm afraid that you will become too chubby, and no man would want you!"

"None of your business! The handsome young men of Chambord who want to marry me can line up from the entrance of the King's Palace to the bank of the Zuli River!" Emma straightened her back and said proudly . After living with Fei for a while, she learned a thing or two from him, such as bluffing .
"Anyway, you breached the first rule of the 12 rules; you shouldn't be late! Hehe, as a punishment, you need to tell us stories after dinner!"

All the girls around the table laughed .

From the nervousness at the beginning to merging into the big family, the four maids were now not scared of the king anymore . Instead, they talked and joked with Fei regularly . As a result, chatter and laughter sounded in the palace all the time .

This was Fei's favorite atmosphere .

If he had to behave like other kings where they sat in front of giant dining tables and eat more than 100 dishes with only two to three people, it would be torturous . If he had to keep that up for a long time, he might get esophageal cancer for not eating correctly .

After enjoying the time together for a little, Angela placed her knife and fork on the table and smiled at Fei . "Alexander, I need to talk to you about something . Thug, Chick, and Hooligan are growing larger and larger . The gardens in the King's Palace couldn't contain them anymore . In these few days, they had made a lot of trouble under the lead of Blacky . If they aren't your pets, the soldiers who are mad at them might shoot them down with [Dragon Slayer] crossbows and eat them!"

Fei laughed after hearing that .
He had heard a lot of complaints from other people as well . Although they had only been at Chambord City for a few days, these four creatures were too playful and energetic . In addition, their sizes were huge, and they would create mini-earthquakes when they moved around .

A few days ago, Thug accidentally sat on a side building in the King's Palace and destroyed it, and a few pathways and a small church in the city were obliterated by the four beasts unintentionally .
Also, one of the dragons pooped in the sky, and its feces fell and instantly enveloped a few pedestrians who weren't fast enough to move out of the way . If it weren't for people who covered their noses and dragged these people out, these people might be the first few who died inside dragon feces .

In the end, Chambord's city management office had to send out a big team of bylaw enforcement officers to clean up the street .

However, the feces of a dragon had research and strategic value, and they were bought by the Civil and Military University and a few laboratories .

"Eh, we need to deal with that . " Fei rested his chin on a pair of chopsticks' tip as he laughed, "Thug and the others are too big to be kept inside the city; it would be too much for the residents to deal with . Also, the King's Palace in the city might be too small for them to live in . I discovered a perfect location in the mountains behind Chambord . Haha, in a few days, not only them, but we will also move over! The royal family will out of the Chambord City!"

What Fei said instantly surprised the girls .

"Move out of Chambord? Where are we going? Let me be clear, I don't want to live in a straw house by the cliff like that person named Dugu Qiubai in your stories . " (Dugu Qiubai is one of the greatest hermits in Jin Yong's classic wuxia novels . )

At this moment, a loud voice sounded outside the door .

[Fallen Princess] Victoria cat-walked into the building in a tight-fit red cheongsam mini dress and high heels . As she threw a big pile of files onto the table in front of Fei, she sat down and stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth . In the meantime, she said unclearly, "I'm still young like a fresh rose . I have a bright future, and I don't want to live like an ascetic monk!"

Suddenly, the dining hall got quiet .

Victoria looked up and said after she saw the strange expressions on people's faces, "What? You guys are eating at midnight, and none of you told me . Alexander, in order to straighten out your account books for your treasury and the Revenue Department, I haven't slept for two days! I now even have bags under my eyes! Why? Can't I eat a piece of your meat?"

"You… you…" Emma stuttered as she looked at Victoria .

"Ah? What about me?" Victoria finally felt like something was off .

Suddenly, she felt like someone was pulling on her sleeve . She turned around and saw the king's new pet, Little Raccoon, pulling her sleeve with a sad expression .
"You ate the piece of meat that Little Raccoon was biting…" Emma said slowly as if she was trying to hold back something .

Victoria slowly looked at the people in the hall, and they all nodded . Then, she looked at the furry mouth of Little Raccoon and the clear small bite marks on another piece of meat in her hand .

"Puff!" She spat out .

Chapter 592

"Ahhhhhh! Disgusting!"

After Victoria spat out, her pretty face paled . She kicked off her high heels and ran out barefooted . As she dashed out, she shouted, "Water! Give me some water! I need to rinse my mouth! Ahhhhh! Water…"

She turned around and looked back at Fei after taking two steps, saying, "Those documents are the account books that I reorganized . Your revenue and treasury recordings at Chambord were a mess . I created a new system . Take a look; if you are happy with it, then stamp it and pass it… Yuck!"

After that, this [Fallen Princess], who was usually lazy and greedy, ran out with her bare white feet to find water to rinse her mouth .
"Hahahahaha!" Everyone in the dining hall laughed out loud, and Little Raccoon went to pick up the big piece of roasted meat Victoria dropped; it was feasting on it and having such a great time that its black and white striped tail even stood up .

It was late into the night after dinner .

Head Minister Bast already sent a carriage to the gate of the King's Palace, and it was here to bring Angela back home . There was a ton of stuff for them to arrange before the wedding .

The king's father-in-law lost his wife when he was mid-aged, and his daughter was his only family . After experiencing the toughest time, his life finally turned around . Therefore, he paid a lot of attention to his daughter's wedding, and he was doing a lot of preparations according to noble traditions .

After Angela waited for Fei and had dinner, she went back to her father's place with Emma and the four maids .

As common traditions on the continent, Angela could only come back and live with the king after the wedding was completed .

Soon after Angela and the girls were gone, Fei called in Torres and gave him some tasks . Then, he went back to his bedroom with Little Raccoon who had a full belly .

After eating, this little guy rolled up into a ball and fell asleep on a chair .

Fei, on the other hand, summoned [The Throne of Chaos] . As it hovered a meter above the air, he sat on it and started to practice the training techniques documented on the mysterious purple scroll . As his strength increased and his view broadened, Fei felt like the spirit energy was getting more and more important . Therefore, he had been trying to improve it daily .

A lot of people only saw the king's rocket-like growth and his dominating presence, but only a few people knew that he only slept about one to two hours a night . During other times, he was cultivating and practicing . Even though he had the Diablo World, his work ethic still surpassed most of the geniuses in this world .
Practicing while sitting on [The Throne of Chaos] was one of the shortcuts Fei recently discovered .

This mysterious throne not only granted Fei the ability to travel through space; it could also help him concentrate and increase the efficiency when he trained his spirit energy .

Unfortunately, Fei couldn't obtain warrior energy or magic energy, so he wasn't sure if this throne could boost up the speed of all cultivation .

The night was quiet, and it was a bit chilly .

Fei slowly opened his eyes after three hours .

"Hm… My spirit energy finally surpassed level 800 . Now, I can stay in Diablo World for eight hours a day, and the NPCs from [Rogue Encampment] could also stay in the real world for eight hours . This way, the reconstruction and the renovation of Chambord could speed up even more!"

Fei spread out his spirit energy quietly . After reaching level 800, he could easily scan an area of two kilometers around him, almost half of Chambord . Like the most advanced radar, he could clearly sense the energy surges on all the people within his scan zone, and nothing could hide from him .

"One day, I will reach level 6000, and I would be able to come and go from Diablo World without having to worry about the time constraint . In the same time, people like Elena, Cain, and Akara would be able to stay in the real world as long as they want as well!"

After pulling back his spirit energy, Fei was delighted with his progress .

Buzz!

A sky-blue portal appeared in front of him, and he walked in after putting [The Throne of Chaos] back into his body .

…
-Diablo World, Durance of Hate-

"Hahaha! Stupid humans! Are you here to sacrifice your delicious blood and flesh? Haha, I couldn't wait! Go! Kill them!"

[Lord of Pain] Mephisto's roar resonated in the area, shaking the walls and the ground of this space .

Under its command, numerous powerful monsters with weapons and armors rushed toward Fei and Elena fearlessly .

In the last few days, Fei sped up his quest-completing speed . After completing all quests in the second map, [Lut Gholein], he came to the third map, [Kurast Docks] and finished quests such as [The Golden Bird], [Blade of the Old Religion], [Khalim's Will], [Lam Esen's Tome], and [The Blackened Temple] . He earned rewards such as a bottle of potion that could permanently increase his HP by 40 and a book called Lam Essen's Tome that recorded all the weaknesses of the monsters from hell .

Now, Fei was a Nightmare Mode level 70 Barbarian, and Elena a level 60 Magic Archer . However, Elena's real offensive ability was about 20 levels lower since she shared a lot of the skill points and attribute points with her second Paladin Bloodline . The Valkyrie was a lot more well-rounded since her defensive ability increased by a lot .

Fei and Elena were facing the [Lord of Pain], Mephisto, who was the boss on this map .

As long as they killed it, the third map would be completed .
Fei wasn't holding back anything . With [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] in his hands and [Immortal King's Soul Cage] on his body, he unleashed all his strength and attacked forward . Every time he struck out, there seemed to be fire elements around his hammer .

Now with two items in the [Immortal King] set with him, the additional fire damage that came with his hammer took away the lives of the demons, and their corrosive blood stained the land .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With the [Grand Matron Bow] in her hand, Elena was enveloped by a silver energy flame . As the bowstring vibrated, arrows dashed toward the demons as if they were invitations from the Grim Reaper .

This pair of couples who weren't married yet coordinate smoothly, and it felt like they were the messengers of death .

However, there were way too many monsters charging at them; it felt like these monsters were waves in an ocean .

Among these monsters, there were mage-types where they stood far away and threw high-damaging spells such Ice Arrows, Poisonous Smoke, and Burning Fire . All these various spells enveloped Fei and Elena .

Soon, the two of them were in a tough situation .

This was the Nightmare Mode after all, and it was challenging .

Also, the [Lord of Pain], Mephisto, was observing from the sideline and frequently threw in range-attacks; it was very sly .

From the battles with the monsters in the Nightmare Mode after some time, Fei slowly discovered one thing: the monsters all had their own minds and the intelligence of kids . Especially the bosses at the end of each map; they had basic battle awareness and didn't attack based on scripts anymore . Compared with bosses in the Normal Mode, they were much harder to deal with .

This battle took Fei and Elena more than three hours .
As he saw Mephisto crying and dying in a pool of its own blood, Fei let go of the breath that he was holding in . His hand that was holding [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] felt a little sour, and he felt a little tired . There were more than a dozen deep wounds on his body, and both him and Elena were covered in blood; they weren't sure if most of the blood was from them or the monsters .

At the same time, bright lights flashed on the magic items on the ground .

Chapter 593

Fei looked around at the items that Mephisto dropped, and he was slightly disappointed .

[Lord of Pain], Mephisto, was one of the most powerful demons in hell, but it didn't give Fei any good items after it was killed . Almost all of them were orange level 6 items, and the green level 7 set items that Fei was hoping for didn't appear .

"Could it be that all my luck was depleted from getting [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] last time?" the king thought .

Since none of the items interested Fei, he didn't even use [Identify Scrolls] on them . He threw them into his storage space causally and planned to sell them to the NPCs for gold coins .

At this moment, a golden light beam shot down from the sky .

The golden liquid in Fei's body reached a limit, and the barbarian character leveled up again . After reaching level 71, the golden energy cleansed Fei's body and made him feel very comfortable . All the injuries that he got from battling with the monsters recovered, and all the blood stains on his clothes were removed as well .
Fei was back to his prime .

After distributing the attribute points and the skill points according to his plan, Fei and Elena left this place quickly .

Then, they found a pond outside the [Durance of Hate] . With Fei guarding her, Elena took off her armors boldly in front of her lover and washed the blood off her body .

Fei had more than a dozen injures on his body from that battle, but those were all because he tried to protect Elena . Since the Valkyrie specialized in long-range attacks and weren't experienced in close-range combat, she could be in great danger if monsters got near her . Therefore, Fei gave it all and made sure no monsters got close . In the end, Elena wasn't injured at all, and blood on her body were all from the demons .

Fei tightly guarded the pond . As he listened to the splashing water noises and looked at the Valkyrie's white smooth body, he felt intrigued . Although he had done it once before with Elena, it was for saving her life, and Fei fell unconscious as well . Therefore, Elena's perfect body was still extremely luring in Fei's eyes .
In order to distract himself, Fei glanced around .

Suddenly, his eyes locked onto something that wasn't far away .

[Stamina Shrine]!

These so-called shrines were the ancient ruins on the continent . They were in shapes such as stone statues, pillars, and wooden statues, and they contained great power due to the runes and magic arrays engraved on them . When standing near them, one was able to be empowered by the unique energy inside them .

For example, the shrine in front of Fei was a cylinder-shaped stone pillar that was about five meters tall .

A few mystic magic runes that were drawn onto the body of the pillar with red, god-blood-like paint, and they emitted a faint indescribable power . Didn't matter how tired a person was, as long as they stood within ten meters of this pillar, he or she would feel energetic in an instant . Their fatigue would be gone, and their stamina would be restored .

Before Fei got through the third map, even though he tried to study those magic runes, he couldn't understand them .

But now, for some reason, Fei suddenly felt like those magic runes that were difficult and complicated seemed extremely simple and clear in his eyes . It made Fei feel like a girl who ignored him for a long time despite his pursue suddenly jumped into his bed when he least expected it .

The stone pillar completely attracted Fei's attention .

Even though the Valkyrie washed up, dressed up, and stood behind him, the king didn't even notice it .
…

The morning sun slowly rose into the sky, and the silver Chambord City looked like a layer of gold covered it under the sunshine .

Suddenly, a blue portal appeared in the bedroom inside the King's Palace, and Fei walked out of it .

The portal instantly disappeared behind him once he was out .

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" Little Raccoon instantly dashed over from the window and jumped onto Fei's shoulder . As it licked Fei's cheek with its pink, soft tongue, it blinked its eyes . This little guy liked sticking with Fei, and the king felt like it was blaming him for leaving it out here all by itself .

Fei laughed and rubbed Little Raccoon's head to comfort it .

"Your Majesty! Everything is planned just as you ordered!" Torres' voice came from outside the room .

"Eh, great . Time for us to go . " Fei nodded .

The two of them left the King's Palace, and they went to the largest plaza in the center of Chambord under the protection of six saint seiyas .

This place was the biggest plaza in Chambord since forever . When Fei just got onto this continent, he got angry and killed the deputy cavalier captain of the Royal Canonization Legion, Semak, as well as the 14 cavaliers who came with him after they tried to get their ways with Angela . This was also the place where Torres stood out of the crowd despite the danger and almost got killed . Due to his bravery, he was given the position as the king's guard by Fei .

After renovation, this plaza got even bigger and cleaner . It was almost enough for close to 30,000 citizens of Chambord to gather here . This place was given a strange named by the King, Tiananmen Square, and it was the designated area where Chambord would host national celebrations, speeches, and various events .

When Fei arrived, there were already bylaw enforcement officers guarding the area tightly .
Around the plaza, four temporary grand water-elemental defensive array formations were set up by the students from the Civil and Military University, and these array formations could block most of the sharp energies that would be appearing here soon .

At the moment, more than 300 officials of the kingdom, more than 50 saint seiyas, 2,000 bylaw enforcement officers, and more than 1,000 students from the Civil and Military University stood in rows on the four sides of the plaza . With excited expressions on their faces, they looked at the great figure standing in the middle of the empty area that was about one square kilometer .

He was the former No . 1 Warrior of Chambord, Frank Lampard .

A few days ago, Lampard already broke through peak Nine-Star and became a level 1 low-tier New Moon Elite . However, since the troop was traveling, and he didn't have enough accumulation, Lampard suppressed his aura and didn't try to go through nature's challenge .
Since nature didn't accept his identity as a Moon-Class Elite yet, he couldn't see the natural laws, didn't get his physical body transformed, and wasn't able to fly .

Therefore, Lampard chose today to take the challenge, transform his body, and step into the real Moon-Class Realm .

Nature's challenge was a dangerous process, and a lot of talented warriors and mages failed this process and died . Therefore, choosing the right time to do the challenge was crucial .

Of course, the king was an exception .

When Fei was undergoing this process, he turned the position of nature and himself around . He suppressed the natural elements with his pure physical strength, and that shocked many masters who were hiding at Dual-Flags City at the time .

Lampard cultivated lighting-elemental warrior energy .

Although the morning sun wasn't the most heated, it contained the most energy . At this moment, the elements in the air were the most abundant and purest, especially fire elements and lightning elements . Therefore, this time of the day was perfect for fire-elemental and lightning-elemental warriors and mages to pass nature's challenge .

"Uncle Lampard," Fei said as he walked up to check on Lampard's condition . He relaxed a lot after seeing Lampard, but he still asked, "How are you feeling? Are you confident?"

"This is not a problem!" Lampard looked at the sun in the sky and replied . The golden sunlight was shining brightly on him, and he looked like a god in a set of golden armor .

"Eh, that is good . I have a gift for you . It should be enough for you to deal with all kinds of situations in the upcoming challenge," Fei said as he took out a huge black sword from his storage space; he was still a little worried .

Then, he stabbed this sword into the ground .

With a significant portion of the sword in the ground, the sword was still taller than an average person, and its width was comparable to a door . Also, it had an aura and a unique energy that only masters could sense .

This sword was much better than Lampard's current black sword .

"Eh?" Lampard's eyes lit up . He asked with a surprised expression, "Such spiritual power… . Combat weapon? Level 5? No, more… level 6?"

Fei smiled and lowered his voice as he got close to Lampard, "Level 8 . "

"Level… level 8?" Lampard was stunned .

This was the first time that he acted this way in front of Fei .

However, this reaction was reasonable since anyone would be shocked by that .

Level 8 combat weapons were only one level away from semi-god-tier combat weapons, and they were used as strategic weapons!

"Alexander… he took out such an important item this easily… Damn, this is shocking!" he thought .

Chapter 594: 594

This giant black sword was one of the best weapons that Fei got from the last ancestral place . It was the highest-leveled combat weapon, and Fei felt like it was probably a level 9 semi-god-tier combat weapon or even a level 10 god-tier combat weapon when that devastating war took place, and it fell in level after it wasn't properly cared for .

Perhaps if Blacksmith Charsi could get better with her forging skills, she could come up with ways to restore this black sword's former glory .

"Hahaha! Great! Thank you for the precious gift, Your Majesty!" When Lampard gripped the hilt of this giant black sword, streaks of lightning cracked and danced on the surface of the blade . Soon, the black sword was enveloped by a faint silver energy, and the force hidden in there even shocked Fei a little .

"Great sword!" Lampard lightly knocked the body of the sword with his finger, and a crisp metal-ringing noise resonated in the area .
"From now on, your name is [Black Lightning]!" Lampard said .

Then, he stabbed this giant black sword into the ground and took off the black sword that he always carried on his back . With a solemn expression, he lightly caressed this sword as if he was saying goodbye to someone, to something .

"Old friend, you have accompanied me for so long . You can get a good rest now," after a moment of silence, he murmured and put this sword into his storage space .

"Let's go . "

Fei summoned [The Throne of Chaos] and floated to the side of the plaza .

At this moment, all kinds of natural elements flowed toward this plaza as if there was a powerful tornado here . Thick clouds instantly covered the sky that was bright and cloudless a few moments ago, and it felt like a pair of invisible hands were stirring the weather and trying to break this space .

Lampard stopped suppressing his power .

The natural elements sensed the aura of a new Moon-Class Elite, and nature's challenge began, trying to see if this master was worthy enough .

At this moment, all the officials, saint seiyas, bylaw enforcement officers, and university students stared at Lampard with admiration . As their eyes locked onto him, they felt an indescribable sense of proudness and achievement .

This man was the most trusted friend of the old king, and he was the protector of the new king and the guardian of Chambord . Now, he was finally becoming a Moon-Class Elite after the great King Alexander; it made all the Chambordians proud . From now on, Chambord finally had a Moon-Class Elite under the king's command .
"Which other affiliated kingdoms could be compared to us? This level of strength and power… Even our parent empire, Zenit, probably doesn't even have that many Moon-Class Elites," the citizens thought .

Dashes of lighting were flashing in the thick clouds .

It felt like a god was looking down from heaven and judging all the creatures on this land .

The pressure in this area was getting more and more intense, and the natural elements accumulated to a breaking point . The people around the plaza felt like they were on a mini-boat in a tsunami; they felt tiny compared to the energy in the sky .

Crackling!

White dashes of lightning were also crackling around Lampard . Soon, his entire body was enveloped by a sea of lightning, making him look like a god himself .

The intense lightning energy around him wasn't inferior to the masses of lightning flashing in the clouds!
Boom!

A lightning bolt that was thicker than a tree suddenly crashed down from the clouds and struck at Lampard as if a god was angry, and it was so fast that human eyes had a hard time capturing it .

This scene was so shocking that the people in the area all gasped in unison .

"Hahaha! Great! Come again!" Lampard's loud and thrilling laughter sounded within that immense mass of lighting .

Such a heroic and boss-like presence!

It made many soldiers and warriors of Chambord's blood boil .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The first lightning bolt was the prologue of this nature's challenge . After it struck down, many lightning bolts fell from the sky like the raindrops in a massive storm, and it felt like nature wanted to destroy the Chambord Castle .

Since Lampard practiced lightning-elemental warrior energy, nature's challenge to him was primarily lightning strikes .
Fei sat on [The Throne of Chaos] and watched this entire process closely .

Gradually, a strange expression appeared on his face .

"Huh?… . . Uncle Lampard is… eh, it doesn't seem like this is his first time experiencing nature's challenge . He is really calm and collected . These lightning bolts are visually shocking and are also more intense than our anticipation . However, they didn't harm his body . Instead, Uncle Lampard is directing them into his body and transforming his physique rapidly and smoothly…"

There was always a layer of mystery around Lampard, and Fei couldn't see through it .

Lampard initially practiced water-elemental warrior energy, and he was only a Three-Star Warrior . After he switched to lightning-elemental warrior energy, his progress increased rapidly, far beyond Fei's expectations . Compared to him, other warriors of Chambord such as Torres and Pierce were way behind him .

For the last while, Lampard's strength had been increasing without any barriers, and he reached Moon-Class smoothly .

Today, the excellent techniques Lampard demonstrated in this nature's challenge somehow reminded Fei of when Hazel Bank was advancing back into Sun-Class . He felt like Lampard had experienced all of this before, and he was going back to his former realm after dropping in strength for some reason .

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and more lightning bolts were being brewed .
…

"What is going on?"

The special envoy from the Imperial Military Headquarters of Zenit, Barkov, walked out of the palace of the most luxurious hotel in Chambord City .

As he looked up at the sky and saw the phenomenon, he sensed an indescribable pressure . His long black hair stuck to his cheeks, and his chubby body light shivered . He rarely showed his emotion on his face, but he was now shocked .

"This… how is this possible?" A muscular warrior suddenly gasped beside Barkov . He was wearing a set armor of Arshavin's [Iron Blood Legion], and he looked like he was of high-status .

As his face turned pale, he said in a shaky voice, "This phenomenon… Could it be that a master is elevating to the realm of Moon-Class? This looks like nature's challenge…"

"Moon-Class?" Barkov was stunned; he felt like he couldn't process this information .

Although he was more like an advisor and didn't know much about cultivation, he knew what Moon-Class meant . In the Zenit Empire, Moon-Class Elites were strategic-level weapons . There were only a few of them, and their statuses were prestige .

"How could a person be advancing into the Moon-Class Realm in this little affiliated kingdom?" Barkov was shocked . "Could it be the King of Chambord? Yeah, it must be him! It is heard that he broke through Seven-Star half a year ago . With his insane talent, he must be a peak Nine-Star Warrior already . Hmmm… now from the look of it, Crown Prince His Highness… If the King of Chambord is now a Moon-Class Elite, he won't be that easy to deal with . "

"Even though Arshavin His Majesty is the head military commander and the person who is going to inherit the throne, he will have a hard time dealing with the King of Chambord if the latter is now a Moon-Class Elite…" he thought .

Chapter 595: Danger

"Send someone to go and investigate this . We need to figure out all the facts as soon as possible! We need to know who exactly is advancing into Moon-Class, and I need to report this back to Crown Prince His Highness immediately!"

"As you wish, Sir!" a soldier quickly left the palace .

As Barkov stood still in front of the palace and stared at the dense lightning bolts and thick clouds, he sighed with a concerned expression on his face .

Barkov was a little noble whose family went broke in St . Petersburg, and even the people in the ghettos in the Capital once looked down at him . Later, he met Arshavin, and the Crown Prince instantly liked him . A lot of outsiders contributed it to his flattering skills, and they thought that he was like a lap dog to the Crown Prince . He was vicious and was able to destroy anyone with his schemes, and people thought he was going to be taken out by the Crown Prince once he was no longer useful .

However, these ordinary folks would never know that the real reason why Arshavin liked him was that of his strong natural senses to danger and his talent in finding the best solution in a messy and noisy situation .

Without great abilities, a flatterer would never be in the attention of the influential people; that was a principle that holds true in any situation .

For the last couple of days, Barkov sensed great danger from Chambord . In his eyes, this King of Chambord was an unparalleled genius .

For the last while, he had been studying the Law of the Twelve Tables that was created by the King of Chambord and got him the nickname, [Saint King] .

In the beginning, Barkov treated it like a joke, nothing serious at all . However, the more he studied it, the more stunned he was . In the end, he really felt like it was a set of laws that could be named as saint laws .

Also, the magic traffic lights, strange traffic laws, magic central water system and sewer system, magic teleportation system, Reverse Whale Battleship, the organization of the six departments, and a thriving university… All of these were completely different compared to the Zenit Empire, giving Barkov a chill to his bones .

He felt like this Chambord was an empire that was within the Zenit Empire, and it was trying to recreate the ancient magic civilization from the Mythical Era .

To be honest, after seeing and hearing everything that was going on at Chambord, Barkov even started to admire the King of Chambord subconsciously .

Compared with the arrogant warriors from the [Iron Blood Legion], Barkov had been worrying about the future . He couldn't figure out why the Crown Prince, who was intelligent and rational, would want to be hostile toward the King of Chambord .

"Why can't I figure out the grudge between them? If the Crown Prince is friendly toward Chambord and used Elder Princess' relationship, he could pull Chambord to his side . By then, he would become the next emperor without a doubt . Why can't he see this? What is going on?" Barkov fell into a state of deep thoughts .

…

At the same time, many different people in various locations in the Chambord City were shocked .

Fei's rise attracted a lot of people's attention . Therefore, even the forces in the nearby empires sent people into the Chambord City to monitor what was going on in this remote small city that was insignificant less than a year ago .

Of course, on top of monitoring the situation, they all had different goals and objectives .

The breathtaking phenomenon that was taking place instantly pulled their attention .

"Someone is advancing into the realm of Moon-Class?"

"Who is it?"

"The King of Chambord sure is a genius! In less than a year, he went from a weak, useless king to a Moon-Class Elite?!"

"Quick! Investigate! Who is going through this nature's challenge?"

"Quick! Investigate! Who is going through this nature's challenge?"

"Hehe, other idiots might not know, but we already got the information . The King of Chambord already advanced into Moon-Class and is now at an unimaginable level . When this king was breakthrough the threshold at Dual-Flags City, the phenomenon was huge! However, these idiots don't believe that it was the King of Chambord who caused that . God! In such a short time, another Moon-Class Elite is appearing in Chambord . Who is it?"

"This aura… he isn't the King of Chambord . Lightning-elemental warrior energy… Could it be that former No . 1 Warrior of Chambord, Lampard?… This can't be right… he was only a low-tier Nine-Star Warrior half a month ago . How can he obtain several breakthroughs in such a short time? Someone go and investigate!"

Many people had the same reaction in different places .

The wind and clouds were transforming, and the lightning bolts were flashing .

As the dark clouds covered the sky above this ancient city, the sea of lightning landed within the castle .

At the same time, the citizens of Chambord who received the news ahead of time and were waiting in their homes got nervous as they stared at the dancing lightning bolts in the sky . They all knew that Mr . Lampard was advancing toward a higher realm, and they all placed their hands together and prayed for this most loyal guardian of the kingdom .

Tens of thousands of people were praying for Lampard at the same time .

…

-On the plaz

Lampard going through nature's challenge and becoming a Moon-Class Elite was a part of Fei's plan .

There was one objective that the king wanted to achieve with this: he wanted to lightly reveal some of Chambord's strength to shock the people who were plotting against the kingdom . This would save him a lot of headache in the future .

There was one objective that the king wanted to achieve with this: he wanted to lightly reveal some of Chambord's strength to shock the people who were plotting against the kingdom . This would save him a lot of headache in the future .

This was a show meant for the people who were spying on Chambord in the dark; he wanted them to know that they were no match for Chambord!

The flashy lightning bolts blurred the viewers' vision, and these lightning bolts fell from the sky like water droplets in a heavy storm; it felt endless .

Fortunately, protective array formations were placed around the plaza, and most of the powers of the lightning bolts were blocked off when they dispersed into the area . Otherwise, the buildings in the city would be severely damaged .

At the moment, all the thousands of elites of Chambord were holding onto their breaths as they watched nervously .

According to the passage of time, a regular nature's challenge should be ending by now . However, Lampard's nature's challenge was different . The lightning bolts were dropping down non-stop, and they were getting thicker and more powerful . It felt like the most crucial moment of this process wasn't even here yet .

Lion-like roars sounded from the sea of lightning on the plaza, and Lampard's aura was growing stronger and stronger .

Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and observed . His sharp vision passed through the layers of lightning and saw Lampard standing in the center .

This former No . 1 Warrior of Chambord was standing straight like an unyielding spear, and he was calmly directing the lightning energy into his body . As his body was being tempered, his aura and power were slowly transforming .

"The most crucial moment is here! I didn't expect Uncle Lampard to have so much accumulation . His nature's challenge is far more intense compared to others!" Fei gradually calmed down .

However, sudden changes occurred at this moment .

Whoosh!

A dash of silver sword energy flew toward Lampard while it hid among the flashy lightning bolts that were striking toward him .

Whoosh!

A dash of silver sword energy flew toward Lampard while it hid among the flashy lightning bolts that were striking toward him .

"Hehehehe… A little affiliated kingdom like Chambord doesn't need another Moon-Class Elite . You better die!" A hoarse yet high-pitched laughter sounded, and a sharp murderous spirit also appeared .

While a master was going through nature's challenge, his or her strength and mind would be 100% focused on fighting against the natural elements; they couldn't spare any energy to other matters . If they were disturbed, the huge amount of natural elements would lash out on them and instantly kill them .

The fact that someone chose to sneak-attack at this moment spoke to their viciousness .

The most powerful saint seiyas in the area got anxious, and they instantly screamed out .

Fei's expression also changed .

As his mind changed, he and [The Throne of Chaos] both disappeared . In the next split second, he appeared in front of that silver sword energy and grasped it, instantly obliterating the sword energy that could kill a New Moon Elite as if it was a dash of smoke .

"Huh?" a surprised gasp sounded . It seemed like this person was shocked that the King of Chambord could easily break his strike .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, three silver sword energies that were more powerful appeared in three different locations and shot toward Lampard at three different angles .

The mysterious enemy was mighty, and this person was determined to kill Lampard .

The danger was here!

Chapter 596: Intelligence Reports that Fell onto the Ground

The situation was very dangerous .

However, as if he already predicted this, Fei's expression didn't even change .

[The Throne of Chaos] flashed continuously, and all kinds of afterimages appeared . As if three Fei appeared at the same time, three figures moved and easily obliterated the three sword energies that were at three different locations .

"Hehe, I didn't expect to see such as a master in a little level 1 affiliated kingdom . Hahaha…" The voice that sounded a moment ago suddenly appeared at a different place .

"Since this is the case, I will go easy on you… Hehe, you won't be so lucky next time!" The voice moved around, and its pitch changed several times .

Soon, that voice died down; the sneak-attacker was going away .

At this moment, Fei raised his brows and sneered, "I have to give you a big gift in return to be polite! Otherwise, people will say that I'm not hospitable!"

Before he finished, he lightly clenched his hand into a fist .

A holy, silver hand that was about half a meter in each dimension appeared a meter away from Fei . This hand made from pure energy looked very detailed; the small wrinkles and blood vessels could even be seen . As Fei clenched his hand, this hand made of energy also tightened . The five fingers slowly curled and formed a fist, and the five fingers also left a series of afterimages in the air, making the energy fist look like a blossoming holy lotus .

All of this only took a split second .

Then, lights dashed out of Fei's eyes as he stared at one location in front of him and punched out .

The lotus-like fist mark lightly shivered before disappearing from where it was .

Boom!

It dashed toward the place that Fei was staring at, and it was so fast that human eyes couldn't capture it .

"AH!… Eh… Puff!"

A muffled groan sounded, and a few drops of blood dripped down from the sky mysteriously . Then, like a mirror that was shattered and then fixed, the space that got struck by Fei's fist mark cracked open before restoring itself in the next moment . In that process, a black figure dropped out of that crack . This person looked at Fei with a resentful and shocked expression before disappearing again .

Fei looked at the sky and didn't chase .

"This person is able to handle my [Invincible Emperor Fist]… He must be at level 1 or level 2 of low-tier Full Moon Realm . Which force does this person belong to? Damn, we really got a big fish!"

As Fei thought about that, he glanced around with his sharp eyes .

The various powerful auras that only Moon-Class Elites could sense all backed off at this instant . After seeing how mighty Fei was, the masters hiding in the surroundings all left; they didn't want to cause a misunderstanding .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Now, the final strike in nature's challenge was about to arrive .

The many silver lightning bolts in the sky suddenly merged into one as if something pulled them together, and all of them turned into a vague human-shaped lightning energy . With a devastating pressure, it paused in the sky for a second before striking down toward Lampard who was in the center of the plaza . This strike looked like the God of Lightning, and it was the last test that nature had for this former No . 1 Warrior of Chambord .

All the Chambordians held their breaths at this moment; they felt like their hearts were in their throats .

"Hahahaha! Final strike? Great! [Black Lightning], fangs of the lion! Lightning Speed Strike!"

As his long red hair fluttered in the crazy wind, Lampard laughed bravely like a deity . He pulled out the level 8 combat weapon [Black Lightning] that was stabbed in the ground, and his aura started to grow and increase in power again rapidly! Gradually, a huge lion totem with burning golden flames around it could be seen behind him .

As his long red hair fluttered in the crazy wind, Lampard laughed bravely like a deity . He pulled out the level 8 combat weapon [Black Lightning] that was stabbed in the ground, and his aura started to grow and increase in power again rapidly! Gradually, a huge lion totem with burning golden flames around it could be seen behind him .

Lampard used his sword and cast his ultimate technique – [Lightning Speed Fist] .

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Instantly, the roars of the golden lion resonated in the sky . As Lampard struck upward at the sky, all the lightning energy around him rotated and turned into a lion's fang . Without fear, Lampard smashed his sword at the human-shaped lightning that was coming down at him!

Whoosh!

The sharp air-piercing noise almost torn the eardrums of the people in the area .

At the same time, that human-shaped lightning which represented the last test nature had for Lampard got obliterated by the fang of the golden lion .

After that, there was still a ton of power contained in Lampard's strike . After chopping the human-shaped lightning up, he flew upward into the sky and torn a gigantic hole in the thick clouds .

A huge circular hole that was about 20 kilometers in diameter appeared in the dark clouds, and the blue sky could be seen again .

Then, the golden sunlight shined through the hole in the cloud and lit up the entire Chambord City . Looking from afar, everywhere else was dark except for Chambord! It looked like the gods were blessing this kingdom .

Lampard smashed the nature's challenge and successfully entered the Moon-Class Realm! From now on, Chambord had another strategic-level master!

Loud cheers sounded from all sides of the plaza like erupting lava from a volcano, and it resonated in the sky and shattered the rest of the dark clouds .

Lampard stood in the center of the plaza quietly, and his aura was climbing up .

Lampard stood in the center of the plaza quietly, and his aura was climbing up .

Level 1 low-tier New Moon…

Level 2 low-tier New Moon…

Level 5 low-tier New Moon…

Level 5 low-tier New Moon…

Level 3 mid-tier New Moon…

Under Fei's surprised and delighted gaze, Lampard's strength only gradually slowed down and stabilized around level 5 mid-tier New Moon .

"Directly broke to mid-tier New Moon… This is shocking . It looks like the secrets on Uncle Lampard is beyond my estimation!" Fei thought .

For ordinary masters, if they could stabilize their strength at level 1 low-tier New Moon, it was a success . The masters who got to level 3 low-tier New Moon after nature's challenge would be considered geniuses, and the ones who got to level 5 low-tier New Moon were geniuses among the geniuses .

The fact that Lampard got to level 5 mid-tier New Moon was beyond strange!

Also, Lampard's last strike that destroyed the last test in nature's challenge and put a gigantic hole in the clouds made a lot of spies sense a chill .

They knew that Chambord didn't just get a Moon-Class Elite; this kingdom got a real master! A master with unlimited potential!

After the dark clouds disappeared, the clear blue sky looked like the most beautiful sapphire . As the sun climbed higher into the sky, the moist air got warmer and warmer .

Loud cheers were still resonated in the area .

Soon, every citizen in Chambord learned that Mr . Lampard successfully became a Moon-Class Elite, and the entire city fell into a state of excitement and happiness .

Loud cheers were still resonated in the area .

Soon, every citizen in Chambord learned that Mr . Lampard successfully became a Moon-Class Elite, and the entire city fell into a state of excitement and happiness .

Everyone knew that strength and power was the key to safety in a chaotic time .

…

"What? It was someone else who became a Moon-Class Elite?"

Barkov who was waiting for information in front of the hotel relaxed after he learned the news . Then, he suddenly realized the implication of that, and he went into his room and placed several documents onto the table . After searching around, he quickly located the intelligence report on Lampard .

"Frank Lampard; 37 years old; water-elemental and lightning-elemental warrior; peak Eight-Star strength; quiet and reserved… History and origin, unknown!"

The word 'unknown' gave Barkov chills .

"Even the Imperial Military Headquarters couldn't figure out this man's history? He has been in Chambord for many years, so it should be easy to track his history . Why is it unknown? Could it be that this man's background is too extraordinary? Damn it! Just what kinds of people are around the King of Chambord?" Barkov was getting anxious .

"No, wait!" He suddenly realized something that he overlooked . "After days of investigation, it is agreed that the King of Chambord is the No . 1 Master at Chambord . That means… this king's strength is even beyond Lampard… This… it means that the King of Chambord is already at Moon-Class… But…"

Barkov shivered as he continued thinking, "But why on the intelligence report Crown Prince His Highness gave me… Why is Nine-Star the most optimistic estimate?"

"Crown Prince His Highness didn't know? Impossible… Why didn't he tell me?"

Sweat slid off Barkov's forehead like raindrops, and he didn't even notice that the intelligence report fell off his hands .

Chapter 597: Becoming a Hermit

While Barkov was in fear, many people were also reacting to this news as well .

"What? The person who advanced isn't the King of Chambord?"

"Hahaha! Like I thought! It is Frank Lampard! Damn! Now, Chambord has two Moon-Class Elites when including the king himself . With this power, Chambord could break away from Zenit and establish its own empire! Who could stop Chambord from doing whatever it wants now in Zenit?"

"Quickly pass this information back to our family leader! We Beag Family need to forget about our resent toward Chambord and give up on seeking revenge . We shouldn't try to battle with the King of Chambord!"

"Two moons in one kingdom; Chambord is on the rise!"

"We heard that the King of Chambord is getting married in 13 days! Pass this information to our lord! We can prepare gifts ahead of time . If we want to get on the good side of Chambord, we need to give up on something . In this case, we need to show our stance before everyone else! If we do it late, it would be meaningless!"

"Hahaha! Great! The powerful Chambord is like an awkward, poisonous thorn to the Zenit Empire! Hehe, how could the royal family of Zenit let someone else take over a big region of their territory? A civil war is about to break out in Zenit! If we just help the King of Chambord develop his ambition, the Zenit Empire will fall into chaos! Then, our Spartax Empire could be revived!"

"Send someone back to Eindhoven immediately! Report to the general; tell her that a Moon-Class Elite is born in Chambord . Tell her every single detail and ask her to give us further instructions!"

The spies and agents of various forces quickly made their calculations and decided on what to do after experiencing the shock .

…

-A well-hidden secret room in a basement at the Chambord City-

"Why didn't you guys move with me? Ah! Why didn't you! Humph! You are all selfish and want me to make a fool out of myself! Don't you know the consequences of your actions? How could you let Chambord get a new Moon-Class Elite? If Master knows about this, how could we withstand his anger?"

There was a deep fist mark on this man's right shoulder, and it looked terrifying . His entire right shoulder almost got destroyed, and that silver energy was still dancing on that wound, stopping it from healing .

This was the mysterious person who tried to kill Lampard and got injured by Fei instead .

"Humph! Disov! You ignored Master's order and tried to sneak-attack alone to get the credit! You already made the King of Chambord aware, and it would be harder to execute our plan now! How do you still have the face to blame us? On top of that, you already experienced the King of Chambord's strength first-hand . Even if we all attack him together, we couldn't do anything to him . Instead, we would alert him more, get injured, and ruin Master's plan!"

"You… Excuses! All excuses! Rakanic, doesn't matter what you say, it couldn't deny the fact that you are a coward who doesn't dare to face the King of Chambord!"

"Humph! That is better than being a dumb, reckless fool like you!"

"You…"

"Alright, stop arguing, you two!" Another deep and stern voice sounded, "Rakanic is right . This King of Chambord is too terrifying . Even if we team up as four, we can't defeat him . The increase in his strength is monstrous… We should move in secret and do what the Master planned . When Master comes here, everything will be taken care of!"

"Alright, stop arguing, you two!" Another deep and stern voice sounded, "Rakanic is right . This King of Chambord is too terrifying . Even if we team up as four, we can't defeat him . The increase in his strength is monstrous… We should move in secret and do what the Master planned . When Master comes here, everything will be taken care of!"

"However, Disov, what you did today isn't useless . At least we now know how powerful the King of Chambord really is, as well as the relative strengths of the other masters in Chambord . Hehehe, except for the King of Chambord and that person who just advanced today, no one else could pose a threat to us!"

"Remember, we have to be careful in the next few days . If there are no urgent matters, don't go out! The people below us could execute the rest of the plans . Remember! We couldn't attract the King of Chambord's attention!"

Silver magic runes were engraved onto the walls, and this secret room concealed their auras and sensations .

These four mysterious masters continued their discussion and talked about their schemes, and their voices slowly quieted down .

…

-Chambord City, Tiananmen Square-

More and more citizens of Chambord rushed out of their homes and ran toward the plaza after the lightning bolts and the thick dark clouds were gone . The defensive magic arrays around the square were put away, and the bylaw enforcement officers who were locking this place down moved so that the joyous and cheerful citizens could get into the plaza .

On this continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, the birth of a Moon-Class Elite was significant to any kingdom or empire; any kinds of celebration couldn't be overboard .

The cheers continued, and Lampard was treated like a legendary hero .

The cheers continued, and Lampard was treated like a legendary hero .

Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and lowered it onto the giant stone pillar in the center of the plaza . As he glanced around the excited crowd, he felt very proud .

After a while, he waved his hand .

All the cheering stopped, and tens of thousands of heated gazes focused on him; everyone was waiting for him to say something .

"Today is a day that will be recorded onto the history book of Chambord! Today, we got a powerful guardian! Today, we got the strength to fight back the bullies! Today, we obtained the most powerful warriors in the history of Chambord!"

Fei's voice quickly got drowned in the thunder-like applauses and cheers .

After a while when the cheering finally died down a little, Fei continued, "Today, as the King of Chambord, I have something important to announce to all the citizens of Chambord…"

He took out a divy crystal from his storage space, and he injected a little bit of magic energy into it . Dashes of colorful lights were emitted from the crystal, and it projected out a giant movie-like video in the sky .

It was a scene that many Chambordians were familiar with; it showed the numerous mountains and forests behind Chambord . However, the view of such scenery from the sky was quite novel to them .

Under Fei's control, the video changed .

There were five tall and majestic mountains that pierced into the clouds, and it looked like they were situated on the five points of a pentagram . There were giant rocks, ancient trees, morning mists, and white clouds… It looked like a paradise in heaven .

Under Fei's control, the video changed .

There were five tall and majestic mountains that pierced into the clouds, and it looked like they were situated on the five points of a pentagram . There were giant rocks, ancient trees, morning mists, and white clouds… It looked like a paradise in heaven .

There were numerous mountains connected to the back mountain of Chambord, and it was heard that many demon beasts resided in there . In addition, the terrains were rough, and there were no paths into it . Therefore, even Chambordians who had lived in this place for generations would rarely go in there . To Chambordians, it was an explored land of mystery .

After seeing this, a lot of people got curious .

"Does the king want to conquer this terrifying and mysterious 'back garden' of Chambord?" they thought .

"I have named these five mountains, Five Sword Sky Mountains . From now on, they would be the residences of the royal family of Chambord . As the king, I have decided to move the King's Palace into the Five Sword Sky Mountains, and I would be trying to cultivate and progress on the path of power…" Fei paused for a second when he saw the surprised and sad expressions on his people's faces . Then, he continued, "After a year of development, the six departments are getting more and more efficient, and the Law of the 12 Tables are refined . Everything is well under control; Mr . Bast and Mr . Brook are caring and just, and the officials in the six departments are elites elected by the people . All the administrative and military duties are well delegated and organized, and I, the king, doesn't need to get involved for the citizens to live great lives . "

At this point, a lot of people understood the situation .

On the Azeroth Continent, it wasn't uncommon that kings and emperors weren't involved in the management of their kingdoms and empires .

After all, this world was ruled by power, and the nobles and royals had a lot more resources and could obtain great warrior energy and magic energy cultivation techniques .

Therefore, a lot of rulers and upper-class people were focused on cultivation and lived in seclusion, and all the managing of their lands were delegated to loyal and capable ministers .

Chapter 598

Although all the citizens of Chambord knew the logic behind it, a lot of them felt like they would miss King Alexander dearly .

Among them, high-level officials such as Pierce, Drogba, Oleg, Bast, Brook, and Old Aryang, as well as students in the Civil and Military Academy were all shocked, and their expressions changed . They didn't expect the king to make such a decision right here and right now .

Behind them, the other citizens also chattered and murmured amongst themselves .

However, since the king had an absolute prestige and was well respected, no one objected his decision even though it was abrupt .

After the initial surprise, people started to feel like Fei's decision was both logical and reasonable in the current situation .

After a year of planning and pivoting, Fei had turned Chambord, a remote little level 6 kingdom that was weak and poor, into a level 1 affiliated kingdom that was prosperous, organized, and powerful . Without exaggeration, Chambord was comparable to level 1 empires on the continent in terms of combat abilities . If the size of its territories and population increased, Chambord could easily break away from Zenit and become its own empire .
In Fei's eyes, the Chambord Kingdom was like a child who learned how to walk on its own under his supervision . Although it was staggering and might fall sometimes, it no longer required him to support it along the way .

Therefore, he felt like this was the perfect opportunity for him to let go and become a completely hands-off ruler .
Living in seclusion and becoming a hermit didn't mean that he was cutting off all connection with Chambord . On the contrary, Fei was still the king of the kingdom, and his words would be taken as commands . However, since Fei was not crazy over control and didn't like complicated administrative and military tasks, he wanted to use this opportunity to free himself from all the small matters so that he could focus on cultivating and increasing his strength .

Living on the Five Sword Sky Mountains, monitoring the Chambord City, observing the Zenit Empire, and dominating over a region on the Azeroth Continent! It was the life that Fei wanted to live!

He could watch the clouds around the mountains in the morning, sleep on the thighs of beauties when he was drunk, and control the region when he was awake… That was his ultimate dream!

Fei glanced around and saw the expressions of the people in the area; he was quite reassured .

He then shifted the divy crystal in his hand, and the image in the sky turned from the Five Sword Sky Mountains to 12 mountains that were situated neatly between Five Sword Sky Mountains and Chambord City . They were a bit shorter compared to the Five Sword Sky Mountains, but they still pierced into the clouds .

Although these 12 mountains weren't as majestic as the Five Sword Sky Mountains, they were impressive none the less . It looked like they were connected to the sky, and they were mystic and luring .

"These 12 sword mountains will be the residences of the most powerful 12 gold saints . I will place 12 Gold Saint Palaces on them, and they will be protecting the Five Sword Sky Mountains as well as the Chambord City! The 12 gold saints will live and train on these 12 sword mountains, and they will help me monitor the kingdom, guard the citizens, and enjoy supreme honor . "

As soon as Fei finished speaking, a phenomenon occurred .

The blue sky was clear, and all the lights of the stars were covered by the bright sun; it was impossible to see them . However, at this moment when Fei stopped speaking, the stars shone brightly in the sky, and their mystic power suppressed the sunshine .

The stars shone one after another, and they formed the 12 zodiac constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces . It felt like a god was drawing in the sky .

"Ah? This…"

"These mystic images of the constellations appeared in the sky because of His Majesty's words?"

"Are these 12 images of the constellations the totems of the 12 gold saints?

"This… . the power of the stars! So shocking…"

Everyone on and around the plaza was stunned by what they saw . The stars that created the 12 zodiac constellations appeared in the sky and formed mystic and incredible images because of the king's speech!

What they were seeing was a miracle!

That was undeniable!
Even Fei was surprised by what was going on . When he was speaking, he didn't expect that something like this was going to happen .

In the next second, Fei suddenly realized that this miracle was probably due to one of his three miraculous skills – [Given] . When he was giving people like Lampard and Drogba their Star Saint Sets, similar incidents happened where the Star Saint Sets communicated with the stars in the sky .
This miraculous process took place for a minute . After that, the stars dimmed down, and the sky returned to normal .

Fei stopped thinking and glanced at the saint seiyas as well as the bylaw enforcement officers . In the end, his eyes landed on Lampard .

"I know that you all want to become Moon-Class Elites; only the Moon-Class Elites are qualified to become guardians who could reside in the 12 Golden Saint Palaces . Therefore, if you want to become the most powerful saint seiyas in the kingdom, you need to work harder and show me your effort . Today, Uncle Lampard took the first step forward . From now on, Uncle Lampard, you will be the guardian of Gold Leo Mountain!"

As Fei spoke, the effect of [Given] appeared again .

The dimmed stars in the sky brightened up . This time, only the stars that made up the Leo Constellation shone . The lights of the 96 stars traveled down the sky, accelerated, and landed on one of the 12 sword mountains behind the Chambord City .

Then, a mystic beam of light appeared on this mountain and shot back into the sky .

Everyone was stunned again .

At the same time, Lampard suddenly felt a mysterious power coming from that mountain . He felt like he was connected to the mountain by blood, and it was calling him .

"It is my great honor, Your Majesty!"

Lampard single-kneeled and swore . Then, he disappeared from the plaza and dashed toward the Gold Leo Mountain like a lightning bolt .

The entire city was stunned!

…

-King's Palace-
After returning from the plaza, Fei wandered around this palace that was about to 'retire' .

The royal family of Chambord had been living here for generations .

Alexander's father, Old Alexander, and the previous kings all left marks on this palace, such as the magic portraits of all the Kings of Chambord in history . Although they weren't precious, they were valuable items to the royal family of Chambord .

Although Fei was from another world, this body of his contained the blood of the royals of Chambord . In addition, Fei lived here for a while, and he got somewhat emotionally attached to some items . Therefore, even though the Sky Castle contained everything he would ever need, Fei decided to take the items that were significant to the royal family of Chambord with him .

As Fei walked around, he placed all the items that he wanted to take with him into his storage ring .

By borrowing the idea of corporate offices from his previous life, this palace, which was the biggest in Chambord City, was going to become the headquarters of the Six Departments and offices of all ministers . From now on, all the hundreds of officials would be coming to this place to work and manage all the things that were happening in the Chambord Kingdom .

Chapter 599

After Fei walked to every single corner in the King's Palace, he thought about it and placed all the decors and small items that Angela liked into his storage ring .

When all that was done, Fei didn't hurry up and leave . He went to the side palace and started to design the wedding dresses that both Angela and Elena were going to wear according to his memory .

Perhaps it was because Fei was a spatial traveler, he felt like modern wedding dresses and diamond rings were essential parts of a perfect wedding .

Fei had been thinking about this for a while now, and he already got some ideas . For Angela who was sweet and gentle, a long trailing white princess wedding dress would fit her perfectly . For Elena who was valiant and cold, Fei wanted to design her a rose tight-fit cheongsam-style wedding dress .

For Fei who was good at sketching in his previous life, it wasn't too hard to complete the designs and create the blueprints .

After three hours, Fei finally finished everything and was happy with the outcomes .
Then, Torres brought the two stacks of design blueprints to the best tailor in the city, Auntie Mary .

This Auntie Mary had a unique backstory of her own . She was only an ordinary tailor who lived in a poor neighborhood . Even though she was talented in this field, she wasn't able to do anything with it . After Fei came to this world, he came up with unique and strange designs that this world had never seen before, and Angela somehow got to know this tailor and asked her to handle and make the clothes that Fei came up with .
This little opportunity sparked Auntie Mary's talent .

When the king tried to get everyone in Chambord City to dress properly, Auntie Mary who was the first tailor that created these clothes earned a lot of money . Then, she started to get apprentices and opened her own big shop . Now, she was recognized as one of the best tailors at Chambord City, and a lot of people were proud that they were able to wear clothes that were made by Auntie Mary .

Since the king was about to get married, Auntie Mary's shop naturally became the producer of the uniquely designed wedding outfits .

After designing the wedding dresses, Fei spent another three hours on drawing up three rings that resembled traditional Chinese Dragon and Phoenix and had perfect magic gems inlaid in them . Although it might seem like a waste of time to other people, it was significant to Fei .

Then, Fei went to the [City of Heroes] and used the portal on the 66th floor to get to that mysterious space . He gave the blueprints to Blacksmith Charsi and asked her to create them .

When Fei arrived at that mysterious space, the crazy rain storm and the earthly flames already disappeared, and everything went back to normal .

The blacksmiths reconstructed the temporary tents and furnaces, and they went back to forging the required items for the renovation project .

Although they had been working here for about a year now, the [Demons' Remains] that made up the mountain of white bones didn't decrease in numbers by that much . On the other hand, more than half of the stone pillars that contained [Black Stone Essences] were used . The blacksmiths were already trying to find another substitute material .

Since Fei already completed the quest that asked him to find the magical hammer in the Nightmare Mode, Chambord now had two hammers that could forge the [Demons' Remains] . The hammer that Fei retrieved from the Nightmare Mode was much more powerful, and Charsi was proficient enough to handle the second hammer . Therefore, the first hammer was now in the hands of the best blacksmith in Chambord, Samuel .

"Wow! So pretty! What animals are these? They look so cool!" Fei's design of the rings instantly attracted Charsi .

After he talked with Charsi a little and made sure that she knew what he wanted, Fei left this place .

Before he left, he turned to look at the mountain of white bones once again . He thought about the altar and portal that led to the last ancestral place of the dwarfs, and he wondered if he should find an opportunity to close that portal . Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone found that portal and got teleported to the secret place of the dwarfs . However, on the second thought, the [Demons' Remains] were very tough, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to break them and create a path to the altar and the portal . He was in no hurry to close that portal right now, so he decided to do it another time .

When he got back to the King's Palace, Torres already returned from his small mission .

According to Fei's request, people such as the 12 maids, the few chiefs, the cleaning crew, Pierce, Drogba, Robbin, Cech, Inzagi, other four orphans Fei saved, and a few other masters of Chambord had been summoned to the King's Palace .

Fei didn't offer much explanation . As his pair of silver sword energy wings appeared on his back, a vast amount of energy dispersed into the area and formed a gigantic silver energy sphere . It enveloped everyone and dashed into the sky .

The three little dragons, Thug, Chick, and Hooligan, followed Fei in the sky tightly .

Blacky, which was on the ground, howled and turned into a dash of black lightning, rushing toward the back of Chambord City . The steep hills and the wide rivers couldn't block this giant mutated black beast, and it was able to catch up with Fei and the group .

The distance about ten kilometers was instantly traveled .
When the group passed through the invisible energy sphere and appeared right above the Sky Castle, everyone except Fei was stunned .

"This… Am I dreaming? Am I hallucinating? When did such a giant city appear in the back mountains? This must be an illusion array! A magic array is at work! Pierce, pinch me…" Drogba's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing .
Pierce was shocked, so he instantly pinched Drogba's thigh forcefully .

"Ouch!… Oh my god, it hurts! I shouldn't be dreaming . Hey bro, why are you so vicious with your pinch?" Drogba inhaled as he stared at Pierce .

Pierce shrugged and replied, "You asked me to . "

"Natural elements; there are abundant natural elements . There are at least ten times the elements, and cultivating either warrior energy or magic energy in here will be more efficient . I'm confident that I will break the threshold of peak Nine-Star and become a Moon-Class Elite in less than one year!" Torres looked down at the legendary city and instantly thought about improving his strength .

After hearing the king announce the 12 Gold Saint Palaces at the plaza, this blond young man's ambition was ignited .

After the initial shock, people like Robbin and Inzagi all realized the benefit of training in this place .

Although the maids and the chiefs didn't have any warrior energy or magic energy, they were still surprised by what they saw . They felt like they were no longer in the mortal world; they felt like they were in heaven and were about to live beside gods .

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" The three young dragons that followed Fei to this place let out a series of cheerful cries . They flew around the Sky Castle quickly, expressing their excitement . It was clear that they were delighted with their new home .

"I accidentally discovered these ancient structures a few days ago . There is a layer of mystic energy sphere protecting this place, and it is hard to locate . This castle is well-protected, well-kept, and has abundant natural elements . It is a perfect city, and it will be the home of the royal family of Chambord from now on . You guys could cultivate in this place and try to reach Moon-Class . Once you do, you will get one of the 12 Gold Saint Palaces on the sword mountains!"

Fei introduced everyone to the Sky Castle briefly as they stood in the air .

Although it was a little forced and a little unreasonable, no one would question and doubt the king's words .

After thinking about the fact that they could cultivate in this magical city, all the masters were excited . Since they saw the hope of getting to Moon-Class in a short time, they all wanted to find a place of their own and start training .

"Bark! Bark!"
At this moment, the loud howls of Blacky sounded from afar, and even the clouds in the sky were shattered . From the noise, it seemed like this beast was approaching the Sky Castle rapidly .

"Oh, I forgot that Blacky couldn't fly and couldn't get up these mountains…" As Fei was about to land and let the people in the energy sphere get to the ground before getting Blacky from the bottom of the mountains, a mystic aura appeared at the foot of the mountains.

Chapter 600

"Huh? What is going on? This aura… It is not Blacky… Could it…" Fei's face changed color .

It was heard that all types of mysterious demon beasts resided in the back mountains of Chambord, including high-level and even supreme king-level demon beasts . Those creatures had a strong sense of territories, and they would attack anything that entered their zones mercilessly…

"Could it be that Blacky got attacked by a powerful demon beast on its way here?"

As Fei was about to make a move, the special aura at the foot of the mountains changed again .

The strength of the aura increased rapidly and continuously .

The speed of the elevation was similar to cultivators' after they broke through a threshold; it was fast like a rocket .
To Fei, this aura was getting more and more familiar . Gradually, a surprised and a confused expression appeared on the king's face .

"Huh? Blacky? It achieved a breakthrough and underwent another mutation?"
…

There was an unlimited number of mountains behind Chambord, and they were of various sizes and steepness .

Like a dash of black lightning, Blacky was dashing between them .

Its four strong legs were as tough as iron . As it exerted forces through them, the hard rocks under its paws were crushed, and its body was jetted into the air as if the gravity was canceled .

Every time it jumped into the air, it would move over more than 100 meters, and most of the steep hills, deep valleys, giant rocks, and ancient trees were dodged by it .

Blacky hadn't enjoyed running around this freely in a long time; it felt like it was a gust of strong wind, blowing through the woods and the mountains .

The beginning of Blacky's vague memory started in these deserted mountains . It lost its parents right after it was born, and it had no abilities to survive on its own . It was cold and hungry all the time .

Just as it was about to die, Angela, the future queen of Chambord, came up the mountains and tried to find herbs for King Alexander, and they encountered each other .

It was this beautiful and kind girl who saved Blacky . Even though Blacky wasn't cute and wasn't a rare breed, this pure girl still saved it and brought it back to the King's Palace of Chambord . From that moment on, it no longer needed to worry about getting fed .

During that period of time, Blacky was no different to other ordinary dogs; it lived a simple, dumb, yet happy life .

Until one day, its male master, Alexander, suddenly became another person . He fed it a mysterious green potion, and it fell unconscious . After a while of terrifying pain and half a month of sleep, it was reborn .

From that moment on, Blacky started to have intelligence, a level of intelligence that wasn't inferior to humans .

Although it wasn't capable of speaking, it was getting smarter and smarter by the day . It began able to understand the human language, and it comprehended a lot of things that it wasn't capable of before .

As time passed by, its strength got stronger and stronger due to the mutation, and it started to like its male master just as much as it liked its female master . It carried its male master to battle and charged through tens of thousands of enemies . After getting affected by its male master's domineering aura, it started to enjoy its life where it was potentially able to shatter mountains and scare gods with its roars alone .

Then, after it took in three dragons as its henchmen, Blacky's biggest wish was to obtain a pair of wings that would allow it to fly freely in the sky, just like the dragons!

The dog wanted a pair of wings? It was beyond impossible!

However, Blacky didn't give up; it felt like it could do it!

Under the nurturing of its somewhat-creative male master, even Blacky itself didn't know how it was going to evolve . The bulges on its back were getting hotter every day, and it felt like a pair of bones was growing out of its spine . It was able to sense what was going on inside its body clearly .

At this moment, Blacky looked up at the sky .

It saw Thug, Chick, Hooligan, and its male master, who was like a god in its mind, flying freely in the sky

Blacky exerted force through its four legs and created huge cracks on the ground, and it started to leap forward crazily .

The surroundings passed by him rapidly like phantoms, and every time it leaped into the air and extended its legs, it would experience a brief moment of excitement as it felt like it was flying .

Streaks of hot energy dashed around its body unstoppably .

As it stared at the figures in the sky, Blacky had never wanted to fly this bad .

Finally, a huge valley that was more than 400 meters wide appeared before it; it was a distance that Blacky couldn't jump over .

Even though that was the case, Blacky didn't hesitate for one bit .

Instead of slowing down, it sped up even more . As it roared, exerted force through its legs, and shattered the rocks under its paws, its body shot into the sky like an eagle .
The wind blew by its body .

Its upward momentum and the gravity were two forces in different directions, and they battled with each other . In the end, gravity took the upper hand, and Blacky started to fall into the valley . If its body smashed into the deep valley, its bones would be cracked into bits, and it would die instantly .
At this moment, it wasn't anxious at all for some reason .

Instead, it felt a wave of anger that was hard to suppress .

It opened its mouth and howled with all it got .

"Bark… Bark… Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The barking of a dog turned into the roaring of an unknown beast . It was the first time that Blacky let out this type of sound that contained a ton of pressure, and a thick smell of sulfur appeared around it . When it opened its mouth again, orange flames were spat out!

At that moment, the streaks of hot energy shot through its body like electricity and swept through all the bones in its body . Like a volcano that finally erupted after many years of accumulation, the energy rushed toward the two bulges on its back that had been there for about half a year now .

Blacky sensed an intense pain as if its heart was pierced through, and it felt like something finally broke through the 'cocoon' .

Then, Blacky completely broke free from the gravity that had been pulling it down for all its life, and it flew upward into the sky!

A huge pair of wings extended out of the bulges on its back .

This pair of wings was black, shiny, and full of scales . The wing bones were distinct, and their tips were sharp like black swords that had been forged for hundreds of times . The wingspan was longer than 30 meters .

In addition, the wings had a metal glare to them; they looked like rows and layers of black swords stacked together . There were streaks of innate magic pathings on them; when Blacky fluttered its wings, cyan wind-elemental energy blades would appear under the wings, creating an enormous amount of thrust force and lifting its mountain-like body into the air .

As Blacky turned its head and spat out a dash of orange flame at a huge piece of rock, that rock turned into lava and flowed into the river in the valley .

Whoosh!
Then, it fluttered its wings, and its body dashed into the sky .

Freedom! Flight!

…

As soon as Fei landed with everyone, he looked up and saw a huge black mystic beast flying toward him .

"It is Blacky! It looks like it finally broke through the limitation of its genetics! It has a pair of wings and could spit fire; it looks like a dragon! Haha, it went from an ordinary dog to this . This could be counted as 'a carp jumping over the dragon gate!' After taking this step, its future is now truly limitless!"

Fei could clearly tell that Blacky's strength was now equivalent to a peak Nine-Star Warrior . He was confident that this beast would break through again and march into Moon-Class very soon; it would become a supreme king-level demon beast in no time!

"Hehe, my dog looks like a dragon, but my three little dragons stick out their tongues and wriggle their tails like dogs . Damn, I must be a failure of a master!" Fei thought to himself joyously as he heard the howls of the three dragons as well as Blacky as they flew freely in the sky .

Once these four beasts matured, the amount of shock they could bring to the enemies would be more than tens of thousands of elite soldiers .

They would become the godly guardian beasts of the kingdom, and all the enemies of Chambord would get a taste of their fangs .
