Hail the King

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.
