Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1609: Chapter 861: Giant King Court

The ground in the Taboo Forest cracked open like a wound that could never be healed, and even if the wound healed, the scar would remain.

Drama Master.

This is perhaps the most unfathomable line of cultivation heritage for Qing Chen at present. At some moments, he even feels that this profession, which can predict the future and continue stably, shouldn’t exist in this world.

Seeing his brows furrowed, He Jinqiu lightly said beside him: “Don’t envy them, all Drama Masters have a lifespan of only sixty years, and once they reach sixty, they start to encounter frequent misfortunes and eventually die tragically.”

“Hmm?” Qing Chen suddenly remembered that his brother Qing Zhun was the same. It seemed that this kind of transcendent who directly touched the world’s ‘rules’ paid a corresponding price.

In the Third Division Residence, everyone was packing up and preparing to retreat, and no one noticed the conversation between Qing Chen and He Jinqiu.

Boss He continued: “There has always been a custom among Drama Masters. When they are about to turn sixty, they voluntarily walk into Taboo Land and wait for their misfortunes to come one after another.”

“That sounds kind of calm,” Qing Chen said.

“Not really,” He Jinqiu shook his head: “Their ancestors also tried to fight fate and evade their misfortunes. Some hid in coffins, leaving just a slit for breathing. North America has a Taboo called the Poison Cup, which, when filled with one’s own blood, turns it into a poisonous drink that allows you to feign death for seven days. Initially, when Drama Masters acquired this Taboo, they regarded it as a treasure, believing they could finally escape misfortune.”

“Did they manage to escape?”

“No,” He Jinqiu nodded: “He lay in the coffin, and then a meteorite fell from the sky, turning the area within a ten-meter radius of his coffin into a crater, and he died.”

Qing Chen: “…”

This was simply a death buff; even if they weren’t hiding in the coffin, they would still encounter other incidents.

He Jinqiu said: “In the meantime, some Drama Masters tried to escape, but without exception, they brought great trouble to their clans. So, they voluntarily left their clans for Taboo Land, to avoid their disasters affecting the clans.”

“Did no one think to go die within enemy territory to cause them trouble? Like sleeping in the enemy’s headquarters basement and waiting for a meteor to kill everyone,” Qing Chen asked.

He Jinqiu: “…Are you exploiting a glitch here?”

“Maximizing benefits, of course,” Qing Chen said.

“They didn’t do that; they just entered Taboo Land one by one to find a suitable place for eternal rest,” He Jinqiu shook his head: “I suspect the Taboo Forest on the West Continent formed earlier than on the Eastern Continent, and that it is related to these Drama Masters. Because their life spans are so short, they desperately had children for the continuation of their clans. The current generation of the Roosevelt Kingdom has 36 princesses, 19 of whom are Drama Masters, and 106 princes, 72 of whom are Drama Masters. In a few decades, they will all become nourishment for the Taboo Forest… and that’s just one generation.”

The most important thing is, the Eastern Continent focuses more on sustainable development, with people willing to consider the future for the continuation of human flame, while the West Continent has no prohibited courts actively collecting corpses, leading to the current situation.

But whether on the Eastern Continent or the West Continent, the world being covered by Taboo Land seems to be a foregone conclusion, only a matter of time.

However, after talking with He Jinqiu, Qing Chen, although aware of the Drama Masters’ weaknesses, still hasn’t found a more effective way to counter them.

Waiting for all the Drama Masters to die is obviously unrealistic, because they reproduce too much.

…

…

In the Third Division Residence, a Drama Master stood silently beside a tracked vehicle, ordering people to collect soil from the ground…

The firepower of the Black Water Air Fortress was so ferocious that they had to dig up entire chunks of land and use a microbiological detector to determine if there were vaporized corpses in the soil.

Additionally, he was thinking about matters related to the Duke of Storm City: Could this be a ploy by the Giant Dynasty?

The problem is, no one can understand the language of the Giants, so even if it was a ploy, if the other side said something that couldn’t be understood without the Taboo ‘Mind Communication’, wouldn’t it be like winking in the dark?

So, did the Duke of Storm City really make a deal with the Giant Dynasty? What was the Duke’s role if the Giant Dynasty was responsible for killing the Third Division?

Drama Masters are all royalty, and when considering issues, they naturally take the broader perspective, always keen to cut out potential threats, so the kingdom can stand firm for a long time.

But they didn’t know, Qing Chen was also taking a gamble.

Qing Chen wasn’t sure if the attempt to sow discord could be successful either.

He only knew that those in power are suspicious, and once a nail is driven into their hearts, it’s hard to remove it.

Previously, after learning from Zhong Yu about the investigative team that had come to Black Water City, Qing Chen began to ponder whether there was a way to understand the language of the Giants in the long conflict between the Roosevelt Kingdom and the Giant Dynasty.

He thought it was highly possible.

The investigative team from Black Water City most likely brought people or items capable of understanding the language of the Giant Race; otherwise, what were they investigating? Were they here for tourism?

But whether or not there was someone in the team who could understand the Giant language, Qing Chen setting lines for Kacha didn’t hurt; if they couldn’t understand, that was that, but if they could, he would dig a pit for the Duke of Storm City.

If the Royal Family took action against the Duke of Storm City, would the Duke then act in self-preservation? This was a chain reaction.
