Chapter 517: Return of the King (Part One)
The burning flames released an insane amount of energy, and all the rocks in the area were burned soft and were almost turning into lava. Black smoke was rushing into the sky, and the thick sulfur smell dispersed into the area. It looked like a scene from hell.
This was what the Mayor's Mansion looked like now.
The main palace was struck by Moon-Class Combat Technique [Fire Explosion] several times, and a sudden mysterious explosion completely obliterated it. In addition, the side palaces near the main palace were also destroyed. Broken walls and chipped tiles were everywhere, and the warriors of Chambord saw some torn white dresses, broken limbs, and dried up blood spots.
The atmosphere was so dense that the air almost froze.
All of the masters of Chambord were knocked more than 20 meters away, and they were staring at the tragedy in front of them.
Tony used his Moon-Class Combat Technique multiple times, got hit by the energy waves, and was injured by the mysterious power hidden inside the attacks of the warriors of Chambord, and his Warrior Energy couldn't flow appropriately inside his body. As a result, he couldn't leave right away.
On the other hand, the warriors of Chambord were affected by the explosions as well. They were injured to various degrees, but most of them were still a distance away from the main palace and weren't injured too much.
Lampard and Torres who were closest to the main palace were affected the most. Fortunately, Lampard was the strongest warrior among everyone, and he was able to protect the vital spots on his body with his Lightning-elemental Warrior Energy. Although he got blew away, he wasn't too injured. Torres who was standing on the roof of the main palace leaped into the air using his wind-elemental Warrior Energy as the explosion occurred, and he was able to safely land outside the explosion zone by stepping on the rocks that flew toward him from the explosion.
At the moment, the warriors of Chambord looked at the hell-like scene in front of them and felt a chill in their spines.
"Queen Angela and Valkyrie Elena... They..." they thought.
"Kill him! Kill him to avenge for the queen..." Oleg, who was quite injured and was covered in blood, shouted. His eye turned red, and he rushed toward Tony. Since Tony wasn't able to adjust his state yet, this low-tier New Moon Elite was seized by Oleg. As Oleg started to squeeze Tony's neck using his arms, it was clear that he was planning to choke this enemy to death.
Tony puked up a mouthful of blood, and his vision darkened. Several of his rib bones got broken, and he was dying due to the choke. He struggled like a madman and struck at Oleg's arms forcefully, shouting, "Ah! So much pain! F*ck off! You bug! Do you want to die? Ah!"
Tony was a Moon-Class Elite after all, and he easily smashed Oleg's arm bones into pieces.
"Let's die together! You killed Her Highness! You killed Queen Angela! You killed my chance of behaving like a good person! Ah!" Oleg's face paled, and his arm bones were now smashed into small pieces. Layers of broken muscles and tendons were connecting his arms. However, as if he couldn't sense the pain, his arms were still glued together, choking Tony down.
Warden Oleg was in a frenzied state.
He was once the henchman of the former Head Minister of Chambord, Bazzer. He had done many evil deeds, and many people asked Fei to execute him after the city was liberated. However, the King didn't do that. Instead, Fei gave Oleg the opportunities to redeem himself. In the beginning, Oleg was trying to put on a good performance so that he won't die. But as he did more work, the people started to look at him differently. The initial disdain turned into appreciation, and the hatred turned into friendliness. For the first time, Oleg got an unprecedented sense of achievement, and he felt the honor of being a good person.
Oleg swore that he was going to maintain and keep up this honor, and he promised himself that he would become of the key assistant of the King such as Pierce, Drogba, Torres, and Cech.
His dark past made him feel a little inferior, but it also gave him a lot of motivation.
He was willing to sacrifice everything for the King, including his life.
But now, this damning enemy in front of him destroyed Oleg's honor by killing the two girls inside the main palace.
Oleg knew how important those two girls were to King Alexander. According to the traditions on the Azeroth Continent, he lost all of his dignity and honor since he wasn't able to protect Angela and Elena as Fei's subordinate. In his eyes, losing the honor was equivalent to losing everything else in his life, including his identity as a good person.
Therefore, he was going to kill this murderer even if he would die himself.
Chapter 517: Return of the King (Part Two)
"Come on! Kill him! Don't worry about me..." Oleg shouted.
Everyone including the weakest Bronze Saints roared like wild beasts and charged at Tony with craziness in their eyes.
The fearlessness of the warriors of Chambord terrified Tony. At this moment, he felt like the bugs that he could easily kill before were now invincible!
Tony started to regret. He regretted not listening to his master's advice on avoiding the King of Chambord, and he even regretted coming down Big Snow Mountain. It would be great if he never met the King of Chambord and could still be the influential figure on Big Snow Mountain.
Whoosh!
A dash of red light appeared in the sky, and it was approaching with insane heat waves around it.
It was [Snow Mountain Hermit]!
"Master... Master! I'm here! Please save me!" Tony was scared by how ferocious these warriors of Chambord were. Since he was a low-tier New Moon Elite, he could easily get out of the current situation. However, just like how a flower grown in a greenhouse couldn't withstand the chilliness of the outside world, Tony was so scared that he felt weak and couldn���t react properly to his surroundings.
Boom!
[Snow Mountain Hermit] struck downward with his palms.
The indefensible heat wave instantly knocked all of the warriors of Chambord aside.
This man in red wasn't a fake Moon-Class Elite like Tony. He was an experienced warrior, and he easily pushed the warriors of Chambord away and saved Tony.
Fortunately, Warden Oleg was only knocked out and not killed. [Snow Mountain Hermit] didn't want to escalate the conflict with the King of Chambord. Otherwise, he could have easily wiped out everyone in the area with one strike.
[Snow Mountain Hermit] instantly appeared in the yard and grabbed onto Tony's shoulder.
"Why did you come here? Do you want to die?" he shouted as he was about to get away from this place instantly.
"Where do you think you are going?" a child-like voice sounded in the sky, and it was filled with anger.
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was shocked, and he looked up and saw a blond boy with a strange black mask on his face. As this boy stood in mid-air, cold lights shot out of his cute eyes. At the moment, his eyes turned 100% black, and they were like two abysses that could suck people's souls into them. Also, as a grey energy flowed around him, he seemed a little majestic.
"It's you! Aren't you already in the [Elemental Gate] with the King of Chambord? Why are you here?" [Snow Mountain Hermit] was shocked. He swore that he saw this boy go into the [Elemental Gate], but why was he here now?
"Could it be that the King of Chambord is already back?" he was concerned.
"It is me, and you two would need to stay here and endure Alexander's anger!" as Arthur's voice sounded in the sky, he already appeared behind this man in red.
Bam!
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was shocked, and he was half a second slower. He could only try to match up against his opponent's strike with his hand, but he instantly sensed a suction force. Then, a strange yet chilly energy rushed into his body and froze his fire-elemental Warrior Energy.
"This... Undead Energy? You..." [Snow Mountain Hermit] was shocked. When he looked down, it wasn't a child's pink hand but a bone dragon's claws! There was a black and metal glare on it, and it looked terrifying.
"You realized too late!" in order to instantly defeat this not-so-weak opponent, Arthur revealed his Undead Bone Claws despite the risk of getting discovered, and a thick Undead Energy immediately rushed into [Snow Mountain Hermit]'s body. He was not prepared for this, and he was still injured. Therefore, he got his energy channels instantly concealed by his opponent.
Arthur then quickly moved around and smacked [Snow Mountain Hermit]'s and Tony's back, and both of them puked up a mouthful of blood before losing their consciousnesses.
Tink!
Two God-Fooling Badges were placed on them.
Since Undead Energy entered their bodies, the people of the Holy Church might sense it. The God-Fooling Badges could block the Undead Energy on them and would save a lot of trouble.
Arthur didn't kill them; he wanted to wait for Fei's return.
"Go check in the fire. Her Highness might be still alive..." Lampard who was severely injured shouted. After seeing the sudden appearance of this boy and how he defeated the enemies, Lampard guessed that he was on their side. Only masters could see through the fire, so Lampard wanted Arthur to see if the girls were still alive.
"No need. I will do it myself," a loud and angry voice sounded from afar. As a silver light flashed by, someone appeared in from of them. After the two people in his hands were put on the ground, he dashed into the flames.
It was King Alexander of Chambord.
Chapter 518: Three Monsters (Part One)
"Your Majesty!" after seeing Fei's return, the warriors of Chambord cried out. They were happy to see him return safely, but they were ashamed for what had happened. As a result, they all single-kneeled and didn't dare to look up.
Fei threw a bottle of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] to Torres and shouted, "Save him first! Oleg is in a critical condition."
After he said that, he put Jessie and Alan who were still unconscious on the ground and continued, "Take care of these two people as well!"
Whoosh! As his body turned into a silver flash of light, his Nightmare Mode Level 42 Barbarian strength was unleashed. As a silver light sphere appeared around him, he dashed into the flames.
Torres quickly poured the full bottle of purple potion into Oleg's mouth; the Warden was on the verge of death.
After taking in the potion, this fatty's pale face finally had a bit of redness to it. His breathing turned long and peaceful, and the injuries on his body were quickly recovering. His arms that were completely turned into meat paste and bone dust stopped bleeding and started to wriggle. However, since his arms were too severely damaged, there wasn't too much that [Full Rejuvenation Potion] could do. Oleg still didn't wake up from it.
People like Pierce and Drogba looked at each other and felt ashamed after looking at Oleg.
Although they slowly accepted this fat flatter, they still held some grudges in their minds. Oleg once worked for the former Head Minister Bazzer, and he was in charge of the prison system at Chambord, resulting in the death of innocent people. That was the reason why Oleg was on the edge of the group and was being slightly disliked by others.
However, what this fatty, who loved to flatter the king, did today was enough to make the warriors of Chambord, who thought that they were ferocious themselves, feel embarrassed.
The combat ability this fatty just displayed shocked everyone! If it weren't for him, Tony would have probably gotten away.
At this moment, all the warriors of Chambord accept this 'obscene' yet timid fatty. They now saw him as one of the core members of Chambord.
On the side, Arthur was nervously playing with the bottom of his inner shirt. Although the mask covered his face, he probably had an embarrassed expression on his face. Fei asked him to stay out of the level 36 region to monitor [Snow Mountain Hermit] and Tony, just in case they did desperate and stupid things that would harm Dual-Flags City and the people in it. However, he was too caught up in the pub and didn't complete his duties.
"How can I present myself to Alexander? Damn! My face is all gone!" he thought.
Although he only joined Fei's force for less than ten days, there was already a strange bond between them. Arthur cared about Fei, but there was a bit of respect and fear in the intimacy.
Suddenly, a gasp sounded.
"Huh? This... What is this?"
It was Fei's voice.
What was surprising was that Fei's tone didn't sound sad. Instead, it was filled with surprise and shock. It was clear that he encountered something strange, and it seemed like the two girls weren't injured.
Those burning flames quickly weakened, and the terrifying heat in the area also dropped. The chilliness of the winter re-enveloped the land, and the thick black smoke around the collapsed Mayor's Mansion was disappearing. However, there was a slight smell of sulfur in the air, making the atmosphere quite strange.
"What is going on?" the warriors of Chambord all rushed toward the core of the ruins. Even though they were injured, they were more curious about what had happened and didn't even try to heal up first.
The first thing that they saw was the King's figure.
He was blocking everyone's sight, but his body was shaking violently as if a strong emotion consumed him. Only after the warriors of Chambord got closer and walked around Fei did they see something shocking and unimaginable.
The stone bed that Angela and Elena were sleeping on were protected by an invisible energy sphere that had the diameter of six meters. The powerful explosion that just took place didn't affect the two girls and their bed. The white veil surrounding the bed was still there, and the velvet quilt was still keeping the two girls warm. Not even a speck of dust could be seen on them!
Chapter 518: Three Monsters (Part Two)
However, the reason why they were shocked was that there were now three terrifying monsters around the huge stone bed. Each of the monsters looked similar, and their bodies were all huge. Their lower legs were thick and power, but their front legs were shorter and thinner. Scales covered their bodies, and there were fin-like small wings on their backs. Sharp bone spikes could be seen on the back of their knees and their heads, and their eyes were huge.
The three monsters were blue, red, and green respectively.
The red monster was the biggest; it was more than ten meters long, and its tail was at least five meters. Its body curled around the stone bed. Every time it opened its mouth, light-yellow energy would spit out. This energy was filled with the smell of sulfur, and it felt like it would start burning at any second.
The blue monster was small, only six meters long. Its body had a mystic glare to it, making it look like a snow mountain. It was giving off a chilly energy, and it seemed intelligent.
The last green monster was only four meters long, but it made people feel like it was extremely agile and dangerous. Its green scales had the texture of metal. If its big black eyes were rolling around viciously, people might have mistaken it as a metal statue.
The three monsters tightly guarded the stone bed, and their eyes were filled with anxiousness. As a series of deep roars sounded, an invisible pressure appeared. It made the masters of Chambord felt like they were facing three powerful masters, and they knew that the monsters would attack if they got any closer.
"What... What Demon Beasts are these?"
For a moment, people like Drogba and Pierce looked at each other and didn't know what to do; they didn't know where these three monsters came from.
These three monsters all looked vicious, and their auras and clever-looking eyes told everyone that they were powerful Demon Beasts.
"Don't get any closer, and don't provoke them," Fei said to his subordinates and waved his hand as a strange expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, Fei already guessed the origin of these monsters.
The dark-red magic box that Angela always had with her was placed on the bedside table, and it was now open. However, the three oval-shaped eggs were nowhere to be seen. Fei took a closer look and saw some specks of white shell dust on the table and the quilt.
"Impossible! Could it be that the three lifeless eggs got incubated? But they felt like three rocks! How could rocks be incubated? Could it be that these three eggs are special, and the outer rock-like shells protected the embryos inside the eggs?"
Fei was very shocked, and it seemed like there was no other way to explain the appearance of these three monsters.
Also, after a while of observations, the King discovered something interesting. Although the three monsters looked vicious and terrifying, their big eyes were clear and bright, just like those of the infants. It felt like they were three children who were naïve and curious about the outside world. While they were anxious about the people around them, they were observing the strange world.
In addition, it seemed like these three monsters were extraordinarily intimate toward the two girls who were still unconscious as if they were their mothers. They surrounded the stone bed not because they wanted to harm the girls. Instead, they were protecting them. The roars made by these three creatures were filled with anxiousness; it felt like they were trying to wake the two girls up, telling them that it was extremely dangerous around here...
TL NOTE: Got to admit that it is a little similar to the Game of Thrones, LOL. I think the Song of Ice and Fire Series came out first. Therefore, the author probably borrowed the idea from there.
Chapter 519: Listen to Daddy (Part One)
"Could it be that these three newborns think that Angela and Elena are their moms?" Fei felt like he understood something.
It was heard that many creatures would treat the first things they see as their parents. Fei recalled that such things happened on Earth where a puppy thought a pig was its mom and a cat thought a hen was its mom... It wasn't something fake.
Perhaps these three little monsters saw Angela and Elena right away after they broke through the eggs, and they thought that they were their parents.
Ever since Fei got these three eggs, Angela had been taking care of them. She especially designed the nursery-like magic boxes for them to keep them warm.
If these three monsters were able to sense what was happening, they might have believed that Angela was their mom before they broke out of the shells, and that was why they were protecting the two girls right now.
What a surprise!
Fei slowly calmed himself down and tried to be relaxed. He wanted to be seen as harmless to these three monsters, and he slowly approached the stone bed. The most urgent matter right now was to quickly get these two girls into safety and wake them up using the [Worldstone]. Any delay might increase the danger.
"Hiss!..." the red monster let out a deep roar.
As vicious lights appeared in its eyes, the blue pupil turned red. The sharp and organized teeth in its mouth looked terrifying, and its snake-like split tongue made a series of hissing noises like a lizard.
"Don't be nervous... Cutie, I'm your mom's boyfriend... Yeah, don't worry, I'm here to save your mom. I'm going to heal here... Right, don't be nervous... Listen... Eh, don't spit fire! Stop! I'm your dad!"
Fei's plan failed miserably.
He was carefully approaching the monsters and trying to comfort the red monster.
However, who knew that this red monster didn't buy it. When Fei got within two meters from it, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of red flames. The temperature of the surroundings instantly increased a lot, and the smell of sulfur became dense. Fei was taken by surprise, and he immediately sensed that burning sensation on his face. He inhaled the nose-piercing air, and he almost suffocated. Fortunately, he had a fast reaction, and his silver light sphere instantly appeared and blocked the high heat.
"Damn it! The power of this fire... It is terrifying! It is on the level of fire-elemental Warrior Energy of Moon-Class Elites!" Fei got so mad that he pointed at the red monster and shouted, "Damn it! Why don't you recognize your dad?"
At this moment, the warriors of Chambord all laughed after seeing this, and the atmosphere got a lot less tense.
However, the Undead Bone Dragon observed this with shock in its eyes. It felt like Arthur thought of something but couldn't be entirely sure.
After the red monster turned Fei's face black, it shouted proudly and shook its head. It was showing off to the blue and the green monsters, and it looked a little cute despite its vicious appearance.
"Looks like I have to use my ultimate technique," Fei thought about it and switched to Druid Mode.
The Druid Character was far weaker than then Barbarian Character, and Fei would be severely injured if he got spit on again. After he backed off to a safe distance, he tried to communicate with the three monsters.
Using the power of the Druid, Fei clearly sensed the mood of these three creatures.
They were curious about the new surroundings, but they were also a bit careful. Perhaps it was due to Tony's [Fire Explosions], the energy around them was a little chaotic, and they were hostile toward everyone around them. Like hedgehogs that raised the spikes on their bodies, they were trying to defend themselves. Also, he could tell that the three creatures were very intimate toward Angela and Elena. Especially Angela, the bond between them was stronger than that of a mother and children.
Using the power of the Druid, Fei easily communicated to these three monsters by bypassing the language barrier.
Soon, something unbelievable happened.
Chapter 519: Listen to Daddy (Part Two)
Fei was still trying to think of a way to convince these three creatures who were highly anxious and hostile towards the people around them, but the red monster seemed like it discovered a new continent. It tilted its head and re-observed Fei. Then, it out a series of joyous cheers and rushed toward him using all four of its legs and its small wings on its back like a puppy that saw its owner.
Fei was surprised at first.
However, he quickly calmed down since he discovered no murderous spirit on it. Instead, it felt like this red monster knew him for a long time and was looking at him intimately.
Fei opened up his arms, and the red monster jumped onto him. Fei got pushed onto the ground unexpectedly, and it was still making a series of happy noises. Its red tongue licked Fei's face, like an overexcited puppy. After a moment of pause, the blue and the green beast reacted and rushed toward Fei as well. Just like the red monster, they licked Fei's face and neck and made a series of intimate cries.
"Oh, ok, ok. As long as you recognize me. Haha, oh, stop licking me. Let me get up..." Fei finally got off of the ground.
The Druid Character wasn't great in terms of strength. Although the three creatures were only in their infancy stage, their strengths were already very powerful. Therefore, Fei was barely able to get up and get out of the three creatures hugs.
The red monster was obviously a fire-elemental Demon Beast. When it licked Fei's face, Fei sensed a burning sensation on his cheek as if he was sprayed by pepper water. On the other hand, the blue monster was an ice-elemental Demon Beast, and Fei felt like he was being licked by ice. The green monster was more normal. Fei didn't discover its elemental energy yet, but he just felt like its tongue was extremely tough like a rough piece of metal.
The three monsters let out a series of cheerful cries, and they lied around Fei intimately as if they were puppies that were waiting for their master to feed them.
This scene shocked everyone there!
They were surprised by how the King easily tamed the three terrifying monsters, but they were actually shocked by how intelligent these three monsters were. These monsters had the intelligence of nine-years-old kids.
"Ok, can I now go and check up on your mom now?" Fei tried to communicate with the three monsters.
As he expected, they didn't stop him anymore.
These three little creatures were actually able to stand up straight and walk on their two back legs, and they pulled on Fei's shirt and tried to pull him to the stone bed. As they pointed at the two girls who were on the bed with their claws, anxiousness appeared in their bright eyes as they spoke a series of gibberish. Then, they turned to the warriors of Chambord and roared.
"Hahaha. It is fine! They are on our side! Guys, let them over," Fei smiled and said to the three creatures.
Then, he waved at the warriors of Chambord and ordered them to start cleaning this place.
Afterward, he found a magic carriage and place both Angela and Elena in there carefully. The three curious creatures, who pulled on Fei's shirt and tried to ask him what everything was around them, followed behind the carriage and entered a new safe courtyard with them.
Fei reorganized the set up in this building. This time, it was loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Nothing looked strange from the outside, but there were multiple watchtowers on the inside. In addition, Fei placed a ton of magic traps in the yard and the buildings. After scolding Arthur, he also placed the Undead Bone Dragon in this building for redemption. Therefore, safety shouldn't be an issue now.
Chapter 520: Thug, Chick, and Hooligan (Part One)
"Next, I need to find Akara and Cain to figure out how to use the [Worldstone]."
After arranging everything, Fei stood outside of the building and thought about what he should do next. Suddenly, a series of intimate yet strange cries sounded by his ears. He rubbed his temples helplessly and patted the head of the three monsters who were following him tightly.
It seemed like these three were hard-stuck to him. It didn't matter where he went, these three monsters would follow.
Fei was still very curious about the three mysterious creatures in front of him.
These little lizard-like Demon Beasts were probably ancient species. Otherwise, their eggs wouldn't look like fossils. Also, Fei got them from a very mysterious source; he bought the eggs from a mysterious old man who was selling stuff from Mythical Ruins, and that old man disappeared after Fei brought things from him. No one in Dual-Flags City knew what they were.
However, these three creatures were too smart!
In less than one day, they adapted to their surroundings and had the intelligence of eight or nine years old kids.
Now, Fei realized why they were so friendly towards him.
Before these creatures came out of the egg, Angela asked him to detect and see if there were still lifeforms in the eggs. Therefore, although he didn't discover anything, some of the power of his Druid Character was left in the eggs, and these creatures probably thought that he was their dad.
"Haha! Three little followers! Right, you guys don't have names yet. I will give you names so that it will be better call you. Eh, the red one, since you can spit fire and like to fight, I will call you Thug, haha! The blue one, you are cuter than the other two and is shy like a female; I will call you Chick... Hehe, you! The green one, you try to look cool so that I will call you... Hooligan. Hahaha! These three names are great! You guys must like them, haha!"
Since Angela and Elena weren't going to die, the [Worldstone] got purified, and he somehow got three mysterious yet powerful Demon Beasts, Fei was in a great mood. Therefore, like a prankster, he gave them their names while ignoring their protests.
In the end, the three creatures had to accept it.
However, it seemed like the three creatures started to realize that their 'dad' wasn't too reliable.
"Ok! That is settled! Thug, take Chick and Hooligan back to your mom and protect them..." Fei said. However, as soon as he said that, he almost burst out laughing.
The three Demon Beasts understood the King, and Thug nodded excitedly and patted its chest. Then, it took the other two back into the building and laid down around Angela and Elena.
Although they were little, these Demon Beasts were powerful. The two girls were in an even safer place.
At this moment, Torres suddenly walked through the door and saluted. He asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do to those two captives of Big Snow Mountain? Do you want to interrogate them right now?"
Torres paused for a second and signaled with his eyes. He wondered if the King wanted to torture the captives since they destroyed the Mayor's Mansion and almost killed Angela and Elena. If the King didn't stop him, Warden Oleg would have skinned them and turned them into meat paste.
Fei thought about it and shook his head. "I have no time to deal with them now. Lock them up! Since Arthur locked their Warrior Energies with his own energy, they should be on the level of ordinary people. After I take care of the urgent matters, I will deal with them myself," he said.
The most important thing right now was to wake up Angela and Elena; Fei didn't want to be bothered with anything. Of course, Fei won't let [Snow Mountain Hermit] and Tony go. He was going to teach them the lesson when he has time.
"As you wish." Torres bowed and left.
Chapter 520: Thug, Chick, and Hooligan (Part Two)
Although he didn't know where Arthur came from, he knew that this boy was a master! The fact that Arthur easily captured two Moon-Class Elites was still being talked about by the warriors of Chambord.
Also, since it seemed like Arthur was the King's friend and also the subordinate, Torres calmed down a lot. With such a powerful master in the city, Chambord didn't need to worry about the sieges of the enemies.
Trump's IQ is Finally Revealed - Try Not to Gasp!
Nueey
After some consideration, Torres asked another question, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the two members of the Holy Church that you brought back?"
"Eh... Send someone and bring them back to the church in the city. Let the Holy Church heal them up." Before having a comprehensive plan and strategy, Fei didn't want to get in direct contact with this mammoth on Azeroth Continent.
After getting other things organized and ignoring the meeting requests from commanders and nobles, Fei entered Diablo World directly.
...
Three days later.
A new altar was constructed in the new courtyard, and it was more than 10 meters tall.
The light-yellow stones created nine level, and each level was a circular disk was about one meter tall. If one took a closer look, they would realize that it was almost a replica of the Mythical Altar.
Even though there were fewer magic engravings, the patterns and arrays still filled the altar.
The Saint Seiyas of Chambord, who were fully armored, circled around it, displaying their murderous spirit.
"You sure that this will work? There is no danger?" Fei circled around the small altar and asked.
"You asked the same question more than 100 times. If you are not annoyed yet, I am. I can promise you that it is safe!" Akara said helplessly. Thank god that she could understand Fei's internal state. Otherwise, she would have already started swearing. After all, anyone would be annoyed if someone asked them the same question more than 100 times.
"Eh.... Ok." Fei scratched his head.
Angela and Elena were placed on the top level of the altar, and the purified [Worldstone] laid in a small dent between them. As this precious item rested in the pre-arranged location, it emitted waves of pure energy.
A ton of magic engravings and magic arrays were set up around the altar.
Akara and Cain discovered these special magic arrays from studying the runes and symbols floating around on the walls of that mysterious stone room, and they were great at concealing energies and auras. God-Fooling Badges were the extension products of these runes.
Since this altar would pull energy from the [Worldstone], the vast and pure energy would attract the attention of the masters nearby. Therefore, they had to utilize these magic arrays to hide everything.
"Alright, let's start," Akara said after she finished engraving the last magic array onto the altar.
Just as Fei got close to white-beard Cain, this old man shouted before Fei could speak, "Shut up! I know what you want to ask! I can promise you that it is 100% safe!"
Fei was a little speechless.
Just as the last magic array was engraved correctly, both Akara and Cain used the three perfect magic gems that were prepared ahead of time to activate the outer stealth array. A thin layer of light sphere appeared and enveloped the altar and the area around it.
All sensations were blocked off, and it felt like a Small World of its own.
Then, Akara and Cain activated this mimicked Mythical Altar using nine perfect magic gems.
Except for the ninth level that wasn't moving, all other eight levels rotated rapidly. Sparks flew, and a small tornado was almost created. On the ninth level, the [Worldstone] shone brightly, and the blue light lit up both Angela and Elena.
Fei paid close attention to this.
The process was short. After about 30 seconds, the altar slowed down, and the [Worldstone] on it dimmed and no longer emitted the blue light. Everything returned to its original state.
Fei was extremely nervous. As he looked at Cain and Akara who were sweating buckets, he opened his mouth and asked, "What is going on? This fast? Did it... Fail?"
The process was too quick and too simple! Fei couldn't believe it!
"No, it should be successful," Cain rubbed his nose and gave a weird answer with a strange expression.
Chapter 521: Return (Part One)
"It should?" Fei was a little shocked as he understood the underlying meaning. "Should? You mean you aren't sure about this method?"
"This... This method came from [Demon King's Wisdom]... The Priestess and I discovered it, but we never used it before... Eh, don't be anxious. Although this is the first time, I can promise you that I tried these engravings in the stone room and in [Rogue Encampment], and they have no issues," Cain quickly explained as Fei's expression turned from shock to nervousness and anxiousness.
"Fei, don't worry. I don't think there is an issue." Akara looked at the ninth level of the altar and tried to promise Fei. At the same time, she stared at Cain and complained, "I told you that the 134th magic engraving in the one-fourth of the star region is wrong. I told you that it is a tri-bend pathway, and we should use McPherson hook method. But you end up treating it as a half-arc pathway, and you used a Taracha hook method. See? There is now a problem."
"That is nonsense! McPherson hook is not proven, and the tri-bend pathway would disperse the magic energy. Only the combination of Taracha hook and half-arc pathway is the most stable..." Cain yelled as he got a little infuriated. Whenever it involved a technical problem, this pair of diligent research partners would argue with each other loudly.
"You..." Fei was shocked and angry at the same time.
Now, the King realized that the two mad scientists were using this life-saving operation as an experiment.
"So, their promises are worth nothing?" he thought.
However, the King was so nervous that he didn't have time to scold the two not-so-reliable elders. He instantly dashed onto the top level of this altar, and he was so anxious that his fingers shook violently. He didn't dare to open his eyes and look at the two girls beside him since he was afraid that he would see them pass away after the experiment failed.
"Eh….. Ah, this..."
A weak, familiar, and unforgettable voice suddenly sounded by Fei's ear. Although it was quiet, it was like a rumble of thunder to Fei. At that moment, Fei suddenly felt like his shaking soul even calmed down.
It was Angela.
"She... She is really awake?" Fei's heart trembled.
One of the girls who was lying down on the ninth level of the altar suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. She looked a little confused as she didn't know how she got to this place. However, the cautiousness in her eyes disappeared as she saw the person standing in front of her. She showed her bright and breathtaking smile at her loved one.
"Alexander... Why am I here? Where am I? Enemies... Are the enemies gone?" Angela quickly thought about what was happening when she fainted, and she instantly got anxious and wanted to get up.
"Don't move," Fei said as he quickly got close and held onto her soft body. With nervousness written all over his face, he asked, "Is there anything wrong? Don't worry, the enemies are all defeated, and I have captured them. You can do whatever you want to them. How are you feeling? Tell me..."
Fei was extremely anxious when he said that.
The altar only moved for less than 30 seconds before stopping; it was too fast. Fei was worried that this un-tested procedure might leave some sequelae.
"Eh... Yeah, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable..." Angela thought about it and frowned; it looked like she wasn't feeling well.
Like a pair of invisible hands, her frowny expression instantly held onto Fei's heart.
However, a prankster-like smile instantly appeared on her face next. She laughed and said, "Haha, look at you! I'm just a little hungry."
Chapter 521: Return (Part Two)
"You..." Fei instantly realized that he was tricked by Angela who was usually very quiet and peaceful. However, since she completely recovered, Fei felt like the huge pressure, which felt like a huge mountain, was moved from his back, and he felt unprecedentedly relaxed. His mood got a lot better, and he pretended to be mad, "You aren't allowed to scare me like that! I was terrified!"
"Eh." Angela nodded and blinked her big eyes. As a sweet smile appeared on her face, she murmured to Fei, "I felt very happy and blessed when I saw your worried expression. Alexander, I was so scared. You know? When you were covered in blood in front of Dual-Flags City, I wasn't able to help. I'm so useless... Alexander, can we go back to Chambord and not stay here?"
Fei smiled back and felt very touched. He kissed Angela's white forehead and replied, "Yeah. Once your body completely recovers, we can go back to Chambord."
At this moment, a quiet voice sounded.
Fei suddenly realized that another beautiful girl was lying beside him. He turned and saw that the Valkyrie finally gained back some consciousness. She frowned, grabbed onto the white sheet under her, and murmured anxiously, "Alexander, leave! We couldn't defeat him! Quick! Alexander! I will slow him down! You go..."
Fei felt like his heart was struck by lightning; the softest and deepest part of his heart got touched.
A drop of tear slid down his face.
As soon as she gained a little bit of consciousness, the first thing that she thought about was Fei's safety. Like Angela, her memory stopped at the moment when [Snow Mountain Hermit], who was more than a kilometer away, struck toward Fei and her, who were in front of Dual-Flags City.
She was still worried about Fei's safety.
"Sister Elena... Could it be that she..." A strange expression appeared on Angela's face as if she thought of something.
At this moment, a sky-blue light suddenly appeared on the altar and enveloped Elena who was in the process of waking up. Before Fei could do anything, Elena who hadn't completely woken up yet disappeared.
"What is going on?" both Fei and Angela were shocked.
"Hahaha! Great! This is great! My plan is better, right? Haha! Taracha hook is the best option, and the half-arc pathway is how it should be! Priestess, you saw it with your own eyes, right? Do you still want to deny the fact? Ahahaha, look, both girls are healed. You lost, and I won! Hahaha!" Cain's proud laughter sounded.
Cain and Akara quickly went up the altar. It was clear that Akara didn't want to admit defeat, but she didn't know where to begin.
Fei interrupted their arguments loudly by asking, "Great? They both recovered? Why did Elena... What was that blue light?"
"Haha, Supreme Leader, don't worry. Think back and feel that light again. Isn't it quite familiar?" Cain laughed and asked.
Fei recalled and nodded. "Eh, you are right. It is very familiar... It is the sensation of a portal. But..."
Akara cut Fei off and explained before Cain could, "That is right! Elena is pulled back to [Rogue Encampment] by the natural laws in Diablo World. You know that every person from Diablo World could only stay in this world for a certain period of time. After the time is up, they would have to return to Diablo World. After Elena lost her consciousness, her soul was damaged and became incomplete, so the natural laws of Diablo World couldn't locate her and couldn't pull her back. Since she recovered, and her soul is healed, the natural laws of Diablo World sensed her and pulled her back. She had stayed in this world for too long."
"Yeah, that is what happened. Fei, relax! What happened proved that she is completely healed. There won't be any issues," Cain added. Since Akara robbed the opportunity of explaining things to Fei, he could only make some minimal contribution.
"I see!" Fei calmed down as he understood the situation.
When Elena fainted, Fei was curious as to why she didn't return to Diablo World after the time limit was up. However, since the King was busy looking for the Mythical Altar to purify the [Worldstone], he didn't have time to pursue this issue further. Now, he heard the explanations from these two mad scientists, and it made sense.
"You have to safeguard this [Worldstone]. It is the most precious item in this world. Even the gods would fight over it!" Cain carefully pulled the blue crystal out of the dent in the ninth level of the altar, and he passed it to Fei after appreciating it for a while. He reminded Fei, "Although a lot of its energy is consumed, it could still support a Small World and even power a God-tier Combat Weapon forever!"
TL Note: The MC's girls are finally back! It has been like forever.
Chapter 522: Smooth Communication (Part One)
"Cain is correct. The preciousness of the [Worldstone] is the huge amount of energy stored in it. It is enough to support a complete world. It could power all the magic arrays in this world, and it could even make a giant city float in the sky. If a real master got his or her hands on it, they could... The [Worldstone] could even potentially make a mortal into a god!" Akara also told Fei about the importance of this blue crystal.
"Too bad. For some reason, the [Worldstone] is only one-third of its original size after it got purified..." Cain shook his head and said with a confused expression, "What thing could consume two-thirds of the [Worldstone]'s power? It is truly terrifying."
"Yeah, what happened? The [Worldstone] only took less than 30 seconds to cure Angela and Elena's soul injuries, and less than one-ten-thousandth of its power was used. What existence could use two-thirds of its power? Even a god couldn't have the capacity to do it," Akara added and agreed with what Cain said.
On this topic, the two mad scientists who were always fighting with each other came to a consensus.
Fei laughed; he knew that these two were trying to make him tell them about what happened.
He didn't tell them the details about the purification process, especially about the Sky Castle that could float in mid-air and that mysterious stone throne.
There were a lot of secrets and mysteries hidden in those two things.
If Fei wanted to decode and understand them, he would have to rely on these two reckless and knowledgeable mad scientists.
However, Fei knew that he would be bothered by these two crazy researchers once he told them about what happened. Therefore, he wasn't planning to tell them anything before he completed all the things on his schedule.
"There are a lot of surprising and unbelievable events that took place. I will tell you guys in detail after I finish what I need to do."
As Akara and Cain gritted their teeth, Fei helped Angela to get up from the altar. After he checked his future queen's body condition and made sure that there weren't any sequelae, he finally calmed down.
Angela was just a little malnourished. Although the maids were feeding her liquid food every day, it was obviously not enough. However, this wasn't anything serious, and she would recover after a short period of time.
After everyone got off the altar, Akara and Cain started to destroy the magic engravings on it, just in case that other people might discover and study them.
Since this altar was constructed in a hurry, all the materials used were ordinary. It was only for this one-time use.
When the last magic engraving was wiped off, a light buzz noise sounded. Then, like a dried-up statue, the altar broke down into tiny sand grains and collapsed.
The stones that made up the altar were also shattered into sand when the altar was activated, and everything was pulled together by the magic engravings and arrays. When those were taken, the sand grains couldn't stand up on their own.
Crack!
The nine perfect magic gems that powered this altar also broke into pieces at this moment.
Magic gems that on the perfect grade contained a lot of energy; they were treasures in all cultivators' mind. If Fei didn't have the God-tier Item, Horadric Cube, he wouldn't be able to get so many of them.
Even though the perfect magic gems were powerful, the energies inside of them were all used by in just 30 seconds. It just went to show how powerful the magic engravings and arrays were. The altar was build in three hours, but the magic engravings and arrays on it took more than two and half days.
Creating these magic engravings was an energy-consuming process and a big project. Even though Akara and Cain were professionals, they had to rely on [Stamina Potion] and [Full Rejuvenation Potion] to keep them focused. They had to do everything smoothly in order to complete the project.
After destroying all traces, Akara and Cain stopped the stealth magic array.
Chapter 522: Smooth Communication (Part Two)
Whoosh!
The crystalized energy sphere instantly disappeared, and the people who were waiting outside of it anxiously could finally see what was going on.
"Angela..." Emma was the first person who rushed over. She was really worried, and tears slid down her cheeks rapidly. Through these tears, the sunshine was bent and displaying a mini-rainbow. Emma threw herself into Angela's arms and cried, "Sister Angela... You finally woke up. You were unconscious for ten days, and I was really worried..."
"Emma..." Angela could sense Emma's nervousness and joy.
She hugged onto this loli tightly. During the darkest times, it was this beautiful and cute girl who endured it with her. In the end, Alexander was able to turn from an idiot to a genius, and their lives got better. Therefore, since they went through the tough times together, they saw each other as their family even though they weren't blood-related.
"Ok, stop crying. You looked like a mess now. Go and prepare some food for Angela..." Fei reached out his hand and lightly squeezed her nose. The King felt touched by what he saw, and he promised himself that he wasn't going to let the girls around him experience any dangers.
"Hey, it hurts!" Emma laughed and said to Angela as she dragged her hand, "I already asked Victoria and others to prepare food for you. Sister Angela, come with me! You must be hungry..."
"Your Highness," the warriors of Chambord such as Pierce and Drogba all single-kneeled in front of her. With excitement and guilt on their faces, they said with their heads lowered, "Please punish us, Your Highness. We didn't protect you properly, and we stained our honor."
"Ah... Please stand up," Angela quickly said; she didn't know what happened.
Loli Emma quickly told her about everything. During that day, Emma, [Fallen Princess] Victoria, and the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, went out of the Mayor's Mansion to purchase food and daily supplies, and they were fortunate enough to miss the whole thing. Otherwise, the explosion created by Thug, Chick, and Hooligan when they were born could have instantly killed them.
"Squeak...."
"Roar... Roar..."
A series of unique and loud roars sounded, and the three mysterious beasts, Thug, Chick, and Hooligan, rushed over and surrounded Angela.
Blue-colored Chick and red-colored Thug both licked Angela's hands intimately, and their front legs pulled on her dress as they cried out something; it seemed like they were telling her what happened. Green-colored Hooligan was still acting cool; it looked around with a confused expression on its face, and it would only 'say' something once in a while.
"They are so cute... They are?" Angela opened her eyes widened in surprise. "I think I understand what they are saying.... So strange... Huh? Are they the creatures from the fossil eggs? Haha, Alexander, I told you that I sense lifeforms inside of the fossil eggs. You didn't believe me back then. Do you believe me now? Hehehe, you are such a prankster! You gave them such strange names!"
Perhaps these three creatures instinctively treated Angela as their mom, or maybe her natural-ability of communicating with animals and Demon Beasts was working. Angela was able to understand what the three creatures were talking about, and she had an easier time talking with them compared with Fei when he was in Druid Mode.
"Bark! Bark! Bark!" a series of dog barks sounded, and a dash of black light instantly appeared in front of everyone. It was Black Tornado that sensed everything.
This big black dog looked different from before. When it was on all fours, it was about than six meters tall and about than 16 meters long. Its black fur was shorter, and it had a slightly greenish tone to it. Under the sun, it was so smooth that it looked like silk. In addition, hard scales were forming under its fur, and it looked mysterious and powerful.
Chapter 523: A Strange Dream (Part One)
Black Tornado's four limbs were as thick as pillars of a palace. Even though its four-meter long tail didn't lose any fur, a bone sphere that had a diameter of half a meter and had spikes on it appeared on the end of its tail; it looked like a hammer, and the tail looked similar to the tail of an Ankylosaurs. When Black Tornado wiggled its tail, a huge wind would be created.
Also, the fur around its neck grew out a lot, and it looked like a cloud of black flame. There were now two sharp horns that were 40 centimeters each on its head, and its sharp teeth looked like knives. When it opened its mouth, a thick sulfur smell would also appear as if it was going to spit out the fire.
No one knew if this big black dog had a Beast Crystal in its body, and no one knew if it could be counted as a Demon Beast.
However, everyone knew that its combat ability was on another level. The mutated Level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts were too weak in front of this dog. Only a Demon Beast that was Level 8 or higher could match up against this dog that had been consuming [Hulk Potion] for a long time.
When Fei first tested [Hulk Potion] on it, he never imagined this outcome.
"Ruff! Ruff" Black Tornado's barks were filled with intimacy. It laid down in front of Angela, and excitement was written all over its face.
Although Angela who was standing up was shorter than its head, this scene looked extremely heart-warming.
Everyone at Chambord knew that if it weren't for Angela who took Black Tornado back from the back mountains of Chambord when it was only a little puppy, it might have starved to death or became another beast's food. Even though it had been following Fei around, its bond with Angela didn't decrease at all.
"Blacky, you grew even more..." Angela stood on her tiptoes and lightly rubbed its head as she communicated with it.
"Woof!" Blacky stuck out its tongue and tried to regulate its breath. It didn't want to blow Angela away. However, it couldn't contain itself and started to wiggle its tails rapidly; it was the natural response for a dog when it saw its master.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bone sphere with spikes on it swung around with its tail, and huge pits were created by it.
As chipped rocks and tiles flew into the air, everyone had to jump away while laughing.
Hooligan that was standing on its back legs and looking cool suddenly got interested in Blacky's tails. It got close to the tail and wanted to grab it to take a closer look. However, it wasn't fast enough and got smashed by the tail instantly. As Hooligan cried, it got knocked away and only stopped when its body hit a wall. Then, it slid down the wall slowly as if it was a cartoon character.
However, both Thug and Chick didn't do anything when their 'brother' got bullied. Instead, they got in front of Blacky and made some sounds animatedly. It looked like they were greeting their boss and saying how powerful Blacky was.
These four beasts met two days ago, and they fought each other. Blacky easily defeated the other three creatures, and it became their boss.
There was a unique way that animals and beasts got along with each other.
For a moment, laughter filled the area. All the tribulation and struggles finally went past Chambordians, and peace and joy returned.
Fei didn't stay and eat with Angela; he was worried about Elena's condition.
Therefore, after he organized all the miscellaneous duties in the city, he entered Diablo World.
This time, he decided to enter the Normal Mode.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of air-piercing noises created by flying arrows sounded by his ears.
By the tents in [Rogue Encampment] where the female rogue lived and practiced their techniques, Fei saw the Valkyrie who was pale but was still practicing her archery.
At this moment, she was still the brave Valkyrie who would never back down from a ferocious battle. With the bow in her hand, she looked determined and sharp. Looking from afar, her figure was beautiful and unparalleled.
Chapter 523: A Strange Dream (Part Two)
The bow she was using was a hardwood bow, and arrows were sharpened tree branches.
However, each arrow would leave a series of afterimages in the air, showing an indescribable aura.
If her face wasn't pale and she didn't look fatigued, no one would know that this Valkyrie just woke up from a ten-day coma and escaped from the embrace of the Grim Reaper.
As she heard the familiar footsteps, Elena's body shivered lightly as she turned around.
As if she couldn't believe her eyes, she murmured, "Is it really you?"
She looked delighted, but that turned into anxiousness. She quickly asked again, "Fei, is it really you? I had a long and strange dream. I was wandering in a world of no one, and I went to every place where we were at for battles. I met you many times there, but you were only a phantom... This time... Is it really you this time? Please don't leave. Please stay with me for a little bit."
Fei couldn't help but felt heartbroken when he saw her weak and powerless expression.
Elena was summoned back into Diablo World when she woke up, so she didn't know what was going on in the real world. She didn't know that she was saved by the [Worldstone], and she thought that she was still in her dream. Therefore, she wasn't sure if she saw the real Fei or another phantom.
"It is me, Elena. You have woken up, and this isn't a dream. Due to the natural laws in this world, you were pulled back here when you got healed." Fei walked to her and caressed her smooth cheeks. He said with love, "Everything is back to normal. You can feel the temperature of my fingers, right? It is really me."
Bam!
The wooden bow in this Valkyrie's hand fell onto the ground.
Her hands that were stable and held onto her weapon during all times started to shake.
Fei didn't say anything more. He simply embraced her.
At this moment, no distracting thoughts were on his mind. He felt an unprecedented peacefulness.
After this scary incident, Fei finally knew how important these two girls were to him.
Before, Fei had been hesitating. He still believed in monogamy, and he felt like he had to make a painful decision and choose between Angela and Elena. However, after the two girls both stood up and risked their lives for him when he was in danger, he suddenly felt like he couldn't leave either of them when he saw their faces when they were unconscious.
It was quite an experience.
Fei lived in both Diablo World and the real world, and he got to meet both of these amazing girls. The special encounters and events made him somehow have two unique relationships. Now, the King realized what was going on, and he decided to reach out both of his hands and not let either of them go.
...
"You are saying that you met Angela in your strange dream?"
On the summit of Mount Arreat in the fifth map [Harrogath], Fei wrapped his arm around Elena's shoulder as they sat down and looked out into the clouds. The huge continent and the majestic Harrogath City could be barely seen, and the two of them were enjoying this rare peacefulness. Fei felt like his soul was even enjoying this moment.
This time, Fei didn't hurry up and kill monsters to level up.
For the first time, he took some time out of his schedule to walked around Diablo World with Elena. In the last few hours, they didn't run around, get bathed in the blood of monsters, and complete missions. Instead, like tourists, they wandered around the places that they once battle through but didn't get the chance to enjoy the scenery.
"Eh, when I lost consciousness, I had a bizarre dream. I was in a strange world where there isn't any limitation of space and time. I saw many people's phantoms there, including yours. However, only Angela gave me the feeling of a real person. She kept me company, and we both looked for you together. We both encouraged each other and believed that you would find us and save us from that cold world." Elena smiled and leaned her head on Fei's shoulder. With a smile on her face, she added, "Fei, you didn't let us wait for too long. I knew that nothing in this world could stop you."
"Eh, if you praise me too much, I will become too proud," Fei smiled and replied. At the same time, he started to think over what Elena just said.
Chapter 524: The Prisoners and Warden (Part One)
"Could it be..." Fei suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that it wasn't a dream? Could it be that both of their souls were injured and entered a special space? For some reason, they were able to see each other and get warmth from each other? Therefore, they both remembered what each other said. Even enough their souls were healed, and they returned to reality, they would still remember what happened."
Fei was a little surprised, and he asked, "Oh right, what did you and Angela talk about in your dream?"
"Eh? We talked about everything. Angela told me about the stories between you two. She told me about all that had happened in Chambord. I also told her everything that happened between us and in Diablo World. It is a dream, after all, so no one else could know about it. I like that feeling. I enjoy hearing stories about you before we met, and I also enjoy telling others about you killing monsters and saving Diablo World. Everything I hear your name, I would temporarily forget about the feeling of isolation and loneliness in the dream and feel very calm."
Elena told Fei about everything that had happened with hesitation.
She was such a girl. She was powerful and wasn't shy and fragile like ordinary girls. In terms of relationships, since she and Fei were lovers, she grabbed onto Fei's hand comfortably and told him how she felt. To her, all of this was normal.
"Elena, what if... Eh, what if Angela knows about what you said in real life?" Fei asked. He thought about it and felt like perhaps it was a good thing.
"Ah? It would be fine if Angela knows about it. I don't want to hide it from her. Fei, Angela told me in my dream that she doesn't mind. I can tell that Angela is a great person," Elena said lightly.
Fei was a little bit relaxed.
If his guesses were correct, then this was a good thing. The two girls stayed with each other for a long time, and they were able to get to know each other better. Since both of them thought that it was a dream, they weren't holding anything back. The fact that they opened up to each other made them more empathic, and it was much better than Fei explaining everything to Angela on his own.
After they saw on the summit of Mount Arreat a little longer, Elena dusted the snowflakes on Fei���s shoulders and said with a smile, "Fei, I know that you want to keep me company, but we shouldn't waste any more time. Let's go and kill the hell monsters! That would increase our strength, and we need that to protect Angela! If we are stronger, what happened ten days ago won't happen again."
Fei knew that this Valkyrie was thinking for him, and he was touched. He nodded and replied, "Ok, let's go together. Old rules apply! You need to stand behind me all the time! Don't get in front of me and just let me protect you."
"Eh." Elena held onto Fei's hand.
Both of them disappeared into the portal created by [Town Portal Scroll].
In the next hour, Fei and Elena entered the Nightmare Mode. Since Elena's strength didn't increase in the last while, Fei didn't take her into the second map [Lut Gholein]. Instead, they went to [Rogue Encampment] so that Elena could get used to this difficulty level first.
The monsters in the Nightmare Mode contained a lot of experience points, and Elena leveled up rapidly.
In the hour, they completed the first three quests, and Elena killed 460 monsters with the help from Fei. The 460 drops of the golden liquid turned her from Normal Mode Level 91 to Nightmare Mode Level 6. It was a drastic change!
The gaming time limit of the day was up, and Fei had to leave Diablo World.
Since Elena left Diablo World for ten days, the natural law in this world locked her down, and she wasn't able to leave Diablo World for ten days. She could only leave after the time she missed in Diablo World was made up.
...
Chapter 524: The Prisoners and Warden (Part Two)
It was dark inside the prison.
A series of cold wind blew by, and the nasty rotten smell of flesh dispersed into the area even more.
This place was filled with dark moss, and the bloodstain added more color and decoration. The metal torture instruments were rusty and blood-stained, and they swung in the wind and made a series of light metal-colliding noises.
The chilly cries of the prisoners would sound from time to time, and the crackling noises were coming from the flames in the brazier got rid of the gloominess and moisture.
"Sir, please be careful of your steps. This way," a thin and ugly-looking warden led the way respectfully.
After making several turns and passing by more than a dozen bared-up cells, Fei arrived at a cell that was more spacious and drier. It was bright in there, and the smell of burning coal filled the cell. The metal instruments were red-hot, and four half-naked warders single-kneeled to salute the King.
At the moment, two figures were tightly locked onto the wall by thick metal chains that had magic engravings on them. Yellow earth-elemental Magic Power would flash on these chains, making them extremely firm and durable. It didn't matter how hard these two struggled; they couldn't get free.
"It is you... Ah!!!!! King of Chambord! Let me go!"
After hearing the footsteps, one of the two looked up and saw Fei. Like an injured beast, he struggled ferociously and roared after a moment of pause. As a resentful and scared expression appeared on his face, his for limbs tried to break free and created loud metal-colliding noises.
He was the second disciple of Big Snow Mountain, Tony.
The person beside him was the ruler of Big Snow Mountain, [Snow Mountain Hermit]. At the moment, he was a lot calmer.
Pia! Pia! Pia!
The thin warden swung his whip, and several wounds appeared on Tony's body. He scolded, "You bastard! How dare you act so arrogantly in front of King Alexander? Yuck! Do you think you are still the Moon-Class Elite? These whips should make you understand your situation. Remember! You are His Majesty's prisoner! Your status is lower than a slave!"
The warden's whip had a spike on the end, and it was made to cause the maximum amount of pain. Since Tony's Warrior Energy was sealed up by the Undead Bone Dragon, he was no different to an ordinary person. Therefore, these several whips tore through his skin and made him cry loudly.
"Stop it! You... Alexander! You are also a warrior! Why do you have to humiliate a warrior's honor? Why are you letting this low-life warden humiliate a Moon-Class Elite?" As if he was triggered, [Snow Mountain Hermit] could no longer keep his cool. He instantly opened his mouth and shouted.
Fei waved his hand and signaled the warden to back off for now.
"Low-life warden? I don't think the profession of the warden is that low. This man is only trying to do his job, and he had been doing this for more than a dozen years. He is using hard work and his own hands to make a living; what is low about it? In my mind, he is living with dignity and a straight back!" Fei sneered and refuted as he slowly sat on the stone chair that had a fur cover on it, "What is low about it?"
"You..." [Snow Mountain Hermit] was stuck.
On the Azeroth Continent, only the high-up masters enjoyed limitless honor and privileges. Ordinary people were no different to slave in their eyes. The fact that an ordinary warden was punishing a Moon-Class Elite was a huge shame, but [Snow Mountain Hermit] didn't know how to reply even though he thought that Fei wasn't reasonable.
On the other hand, the thin warden was touched by what Fei said. His body shivered as tears appeared in his eyes. He had worked in this prison in Dual-Flags City for many years, and all of his dreams and aspirations were ground by life. In order to make a living and feed his family, he spent most of his life here and could only go back home once in ten days. The gloomy and chilly atmosphere of the prison turned him from a high-spirited young man into a skeleton-like character. Even though all the prisoners feared him, people in the outside world were disgusted by his looks.
He had heard stories about King Alexander.
He knew that this man attacked the 60,000 enemies on his own and saved Mr. Ribry, defeated the Head Commander of Jax with one punch, and scared the Sand Ghost of Jax so much that they didn't dare to siege the city for half a month...
When he was young, he dreamed of himself doing similar things.
However, he was in such a low-position now.
Chapter 525: The Real Reason (Part One)
The fact that his dreams were realized by someone else was cruel yet fortunate.
This warden didn't see Fei battle and destroy enemies with his own eyes, but that didn't stop him from making Fei his idol. However, due to his low status, he didn't tell others that his idol was King Alexander; he felt like he wasn't even qualified to make the Head Commander and the Spiritual Pillar of Dual-Flags City his idol.
In the morning when he heard that King Alexander was going to come to the prison to interrogate the prisoners, he was so excited that he also jumped out of his chair.
To him, being able to see his idol from afar was already a dream come true.
When he finally met Fei and was fortunate enough to act as the tour guide, he felt unprecedentedly calm. He kept telling himself, "Yeah, only such a handsome young man who is beloved by all gods could become a hero to many!"
Therefore, when he heard Tony shouting at Fei, this warden swung his whip. A part of the reason was that he had been working this job for a long time, and he was used to punishing prisoners who were disobeying the rules viciously. Also, he was trying to do all that he could to protect his idol.
However, after a few whips, this warden regretted his decisions.
He suddenly remembered that King Alexander wasn't a cruel and vicious man.
"Perhaps what I did didn't protect His Majesty's honor but rather stained it. His Majesty is bright and straightforward, but what I did is evil," he thought.
As he kept on regretting his decision, he heard Fei's comment.
That suddenly acceptance stunned this warden who was doing self-reflection. Then, he got extremely excited. At that moment, he felt like his mind turned blank He forced himself to hold onto the emotion he was feeling and didn't lose himself. However, he was now worshipping Fei who was like a god in his mind.
Even the four half-naked warders felt some warmth after hearing what Fei said.
"You are just trying to fool me!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] suddenly laughed and shouted after a moment of silence, "The honor of warriors should be realized on the battlefield. You shouldn't be staining a warrior's body using these dirty torture instruments. Hahaha, King of Chambord, the fact that you are punishing a warrior this way is a sign that you have fallen. It looks like you are no longer a respectable warrior! You are no longer a real nobleman! Hahaha! I also discovered one of your secrets! Hahaha, you are involved with Undead Mages! That little guy is an Undead Bone Dragon in human skin, right? Haha, you will one day be placed on the burning cross on the Saint Mountain of the Holy Church. Hahaha..."
A strange smile appeared on Fei's face as he said, "Huh? Undead Magic? What are you talking about? Undead Bone Dragon? What? Are you talking about a novel?... Wait, are you trying to throw dirt on me? Such a dirty yet basic framing technique. Do you think it will be useful?"
"Framing? Throwing Dirt? Hahaha, if that damn kid didn't use Undead Energy, how could I be captured by someone who is on my level? His evil Undead Energy is currently suppressing my Warrior Energy! I lost my combat ability because the Undead Energy blocked my energy channels! Hahaha! King of Chambord, pray! One day, the masters of the Holy Church will discover this. They will come here and reveal your real identity. By then, the entire Zenit Empire will crumble and fall because of you! Hahahaha! Although you captured us, you exposed yourself! You are witnessing your death!"
"Really? I'm so scared! What should I do?" Fei put on a terrified expression.
"There is only one way. If you let us go, we will help you out and say that we were injured by an Undead Energy Trap in the Mythical Palace. After all, I don't want to get too involved with the Holy Church either. This is your best option. Otherwise... Hehe, we will die together! Your ending won't be much better than mine!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] said as he laughed loudly; the feeling of threat and revenge filled his face.
"Oh? Really? You reminded me. However, I have another option. Why don't I kill you two right now and dispose of your bodies?" Fei's bright and confident smile made his prisoners a little uncomfortable.

Chapter 525: The Real Reason (Part Two)
"King of Chambord, you are smart. You know that the thick Undead Energy sensation would be left here even if you kill us. By then, you won't be able to explain yourselves even if you have 100 mouths." [Snow Mountain Hermit] said slowly yet firmly.
"Oh, thank you for your praise. Perhaps I will reconsider your suggestion. However, I want to talk about something else." Fei looked at Tony who was struggling and laughed, "To be honest, I been curious. Since someone like Prince Fairenton truly likes you, it means that you aren't an idiot. But why are you treating this Tony like a treasure? Why did you use everything you have to pull him into the Moon-Class? Could it be that you are the only person who couldn't see that he is a piece of trash? Why are you still protecting him after he betrayed you?"
[Snow Mountain Hermit]'s face changed color when Fei brought up this topic. He snorted and didn't say anything.
"Haha, since you are not willing to say it, then let me take a guess. Perhaps... This trash in front of me is not only your disciple but also your son? This makes a lot more sense now!" Fei sat down on the stone chair and said with a slight smile on his face.
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was stunned. "Why do you know?... That is none sense! You..."
"What? You don't want to admit? Alright, I have to admit that I was shocked this information in the beginning as well. However, this is the only explanation to why you favor this trash-like person... The fatherly love sure is great; it is great enough to turn the wise ruler of a Cultivation Saint Land to a selfish and idiotic person who couldn't even make good decisions. Oh, please don't take it the wrong way. I'm not trying to make fun of you."
"You..." [Snow Mountain Hermit] lost all of his calm.
Even though he was usually calm and collected, he got anxious at the moment. This secret that he kept for a long time got exposed just like that! As if a healed scar was torn open again, this suddenly change took him by surprise, and he lost his cool.
After seeing his expression, everyone in this cell realized that Fei was stating the fact.
Tony who was shaking out of fear and resentment suddenly stopped.
At this moment, this young man felt like he suddenly understood everything; all of the questions on his mind were solved.
"No wonder master forgave my reckless mistakes and helped me so many times. He used his own Warrior Energy to help me increase in levels, and he even used the only Perfect-grade Magic Gem and other treasures and array formations of Big Snow Mountain to advance me from an Eight-Star Warrior to a New Moon Elite..."
This reason explained everything.
"Save me! Father! Save me! You have to save me!" Like a drowning person who grabbed onto a life-saving straw, Tony struggled and shouted.
"Eh..." [Snow Mountain Hermit] sighed, and it felt like he aged more than a dozen years in that second. After a long while, he looked up and said in disappointment, "Your Majesty, I'm sure that you aren't here to talk about this little matter alone. What are your requests? I will agree to all of them. Even if you want me to tell the people of the Holy Church that I'm an Undead Mage, I will do so and help you cover up the Undead Energy here. Even if you want to kill me, I will let you without fighting back. I will do anything you want if you can let Tony go this time."
The fatherly love was just too great. What [Snow Mountain Hermit] said indirectly confirmed the relationship between him and Tony.
At this moment, he was completely defeated by Fei.
After he said that, [Snow Mountain Hermit] looked at Fei and waited for the King's response.
Chapter 526: Last Chance (Part One)
"I'm touched by your fatherly love. Unfortunately, you aren't qualified to talk about terms with me." Fei shook his head coldly and said, "Everyone has to pay for what they did. In your situation, you have to die! Even though you are the ruler of Big Snow Mountain and one of the powerful warriors in the region, you are currently my prisoner. Do you think I'm here to talk about conditions with you? You are wrong! Way too wrong! Don't think of me as a noble, and don't try to talk about honor and dignify with me. I'm simple! An eye for an eye! I'm here to enjoy the pleasure of being a winner! Compromises are for the weak! It is not something a winner should do!"
Fei's voice resonated in the cell.
This answer didn't fit a noble's image; it was more like the answer of an ordinary person. Therefore, the warden and the four warders didn't feel like there was anything wrong with this response. Instead, they felt like it was supposed to be that way. They felt like the King of Chambord was closer to them and wasn't a fake noble who spoke of dignity and honor all the time.
"You..." [Snow Mountain Hermit] felt like he was struck by something invisible, and he had a hard time breathing.
"You... You are a madman! You are crazy!" Tony who was in a state of desperation screamed, cried, roared, and howled. It felt like he was a fish out of the water.
At this moment, both [Snow Mountain Hermit] who was calculative and calm and Tony who was on the verge of experiencing a mental collapse felt an unprecedented chill to their bones. They sensed a unique aura on this king. Like a hungry wolf that would never forgive and forget, this king was crazy enough to make his enemies regret making him their foe.
"Hahaha! Kill me then! When the masters of the Holy Church discover the Undead Energy in this place, your doom will arrive! Hahaha! The Chambord Kingdom that you love and are protecting right now will be wiped out!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] gave a response. He moved his body violently and tried to get free, and he shouted at Fei angrily as the loud metal-colliding noise resonated in the cell.
"Really? You guys have been locked up here for more than four days. Are four days not enough for the masters of the Holy Church detect the Undead Energy?" Fei snorted, "You should know that although the arrogant misters of the Holy Church are dull and lazy, they won't hesitate for a bit when facing Undead Energy. Why aren't they here yet?"
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was stunned.
What Fei said hit him in the head.
He had been wondering about this for the last few days. After the Undead Bone Dragon used his Undead Energy, it should be enough to trigger the masters of the Holy Church. When the Undead Bone Dragon locked up his Warrior Energy, a thick and dense cloud of Undead Energy was used. In theory, the Holy Church should have been immediately alerted. However, four days passed by, and the people of the Holy Church still didn't come.
At this moment, [Snow Mountain Hermit] suddenly thought of something he had neglected, and his pupils contracted instantly.
"Looks like you finally thought of something. However, it is too late." Suddenly, a layer of golden energy flames appeared on Fei's body, and it got rid of the gloominess and chilliness in this prison. As a peaceful and warm sensation filled the cell, the King smiled like the victor and said with disdain, "I'm the chosen one of the Holy Church. I have golden Holy Power and is loved by the God of Light! I'm a representative of the lord; how could I be involved with the evil Undead Mages? If you want to frame me, you have to come up with a better reason. Even a three years old child won't believe your ridiculous statement!"
"How... How is this possible?" [Snow Mountain Hermit]'s heart sunk.
It was true! If the King of Chambord were a [God's Favorite Child], then it would be impossible for him to mix with Undead Mages.
"But... That Undead Bone Dragon is indeed his subordinate! What is going on?" [Snow Mountain Hermit] thought.
For a moment, this man who was calculative felt like his brain couldn't comprehend the current situation.
Suddenly, changes occurred.

Chapter 526: Last Chance (Part Two)
He was surprised that the Undead Energy that was locking down his Warrior Energy started to melt like the snow on a hot summer day. His energy channels became unimpeded, and his strength as a low-tier Half Moon Elite was recovering rapidly.
���Don't be surprised. Your strengths will soon recover completely. I, the King, will give you two the last opportunity. Do you see the tunnel behind me? If you can defeat me, then you could leave alive." Fei pointed at the tunnel that led to the only exit of the prison and signaled the warden and the warders to move away, in case that they would be injured in the upcoming battle.
"Sir... Please be careful," the warden suddenly turned around, got brave, and said to Fei worriedly.
"Eh, thank you." Fei lightly patted this warden's shoulder. A dash of golden energy rushed into this warden's body and completely healed all the hidden injuries in his body; he had been working in this cold and gloomy prison for years now, and there were a lot of hidden injuries that he wasn't even aware of.
In the next moment, Fei switched to Barbarian Mode, and his pure physical energy spread out of his body and covered the entire cell. The silver energy sphere protected all walls, and it was impossible for [Snow Mountain Hermit] and Tony to escape without beating him.
After Fei touched the warden, this warden felt like he became ten years younger. His legs became lighter, and all of his life goals and dreams came back to him.
He didn't say anything and quickly left the cell.
He stopped as soon as he stepped outside the cell and waited there patiently.
The battle between Moon-Class Elites was about to take place, and the entire prison might even be destroyed. However, due to his absolute confidence in the King of Chambord, he didn't go any further.
"King Alexander... Is Invincible. He will win for sure!" this warden told himself. Although he heard that those two prisoners were terrifying Moon-Class Elites, he still believed in the King of Chambord.
The four half-naked and vicious-looking warders didn't leave as well. They stood in a row behind the warden and waited.
...
Tink! Tink! Tink!
The handcuffs and iron chains were easily broken like melted cheese.
[Snow Mountain Hermit] finally landed on the ground, and he reached out his hand.
Whoosh! Burning flames appeared on his hand, and the last bit of black energy was kicked out of his body.
This black energy was the Undead Energy that Arthur left in his body.
This energy was originally indestructible, but it was greatly weakened by Fei's Paladin Character's aura and started to melt. In the meantime, [Snow Mountain Hermit] used his own Warrior Energy and sped up the process. After a minute, all of the Undead Energy was gone, and his strength was completely restored.
On the other side, Tony who also recovered looked ecstatic. As soon as he broke off the handcuffs and iron chains, he didn't say anything and leaped into the air. He didn't have any courage to face Fei, so all he wanted to do was to escape. He tried to smash a hole in the ceiling with his body and didn't even care about [Snow Mountain Hermit] who was his father.
A mocking smile appeared on Fei's face.
Bam!
A muffled noise sounded.
Tony screamed and fell onto the ground. He was bleeding from his head.
He used all of his force in this leap as he thought that he could break through the ceiling. However, he didn't even cause a ripple in the silver energy sphere.
As a sad expression appeared on Tony's face, this gloomy young man suddenly thought of something. He kneeled and begged, "Your Majesty. The great King of Chambord! Please don't kill me! I know a secret! A big secret! I overheard it from the execution team of the Holy Church! If you let me go, I will tell you. I promise that it is a valuable information! I didn't even tell my master... A God-tier Combat Weapon is about to appear in the level 36 region in the Mythical Palace! Whoever could get it will advance into Sun-Class and become a legend..."
Fei heard what Tony said, but he didn't respond.
As if he didn't hear it, [Snow Mountain Hermit] also didn't say anything and just unleashed all of his Fire-Elemental Warrior Energy.
Chapter 527: One Strike to End It All (Part One)
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was a lot more experienced than Tony, and he saw what Fei was capable of on the [Elemental Altar]. He knew that this young man whom he could easily defeat about ten days ago was now too much for him to deal with. This young man was the most terrifying enemy he had ever made.
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to strike. He continued to unleash his Warrior Energy and tried to exert all of his potentials. His Warrior Energy, spirit, body were in harmony, and he knew that he might only survive if he cast his most powerful strike.
"When I use my most powerful strike and distract the King of Chambord, you should try to escape from that tunnel instantly. If you can get out, try to become an ordinary person. Don't try to get revenge on the King of Chambord. He is too powerful for you to deal with... Eh, now think of it, I spoiled you too much. I'm the one who harmed you."
[Snow Mountain Hermit] didn't move his lips, and he sent a voice transmission to Tony using his powerful Warrior Energy.
There was no way that Fei didn't discover this.
He shook his head and felt a little empathetic toward [Snow Mountain Hermit]. After all, this father was still thinking for his useless son. If it weren't for his unconditional love, perhaps Tony won't be this arrogant and unreasonable.
"One strike to end it all!" Fei suddenly stepped forward, and his powerful aura expanded. A huge vague Barbarian Warrior Totem appeared behind him, and he said, "If you are still alive after we punch out together, then I will let you and your son go!"
"Ok!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] answered loudly.
At this moment, he was already at his peak, and he struck out without any hesitation.
...
Outside the prison cell.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
After about three minutes of quietness, two loud noises sounded and caused a small earthquake.
The explosion also destroyed the prison. Small rocks and clouds of dust started to fall from the ceiling, and the stone stairs that had black mosses on them all cracked.
This huge change shocked that warden and the four warders, but they didn't move their steps at all. They continued to wait patiently.
After a minute, a series of footsteps sounded. As a result, their hearts started to race.
The battle was over.
Who won?
Finally, a figure appeared in front of them. It was King Alexander.
"Sir!" The five of them saluted as Fei walked out of the cell.
"Eh, thanks for waiting. Later, someone will come here to pick up these two corpses. You only need to wait here patiently. Also, don't try to damage their bodies. All the grudges between us are now gone, and they were once masters after all," Fei said to the five people gently.
"As you wish!"
Fei nodded and got out of the prison.
After the warden and the warders looked at each other, they all turned around and walked into the prison cell. They all wanted to see what happened.
As soon as walked in, what they shocked them so much that they wanted to scream and run out.
Someone was still alive in the cell.
With blood dripping down his lips, [Snow Mountain Hermit] sat on the ground steadily with a dull expression. There was a terrifying concaved fist mark on his chest, and this concavity was deeper than two inches. There was no blood around it, and the skin and the bone in the area weren't damaged. However, this fist mark was clearly seen. It looked like it was carved out by the master craftsman.

Chapter 527: One Strike to End It All (Part Two)
[Snow Mountain Hermit]'s chest was still moving, his eyes were still open, and white vapor was coming out of his mouth and nose.
All of this meant that he was still alive.
A living Moon-Class Elite was beyond terrifying for the warden and the warders. He could easily wipe them out like human fighting ants.
Only one stare from [Snow Mountain Hermit] was enough to make them feel like they were in a freezer. As if the Grim Reaper's sickles were placed on their necks, their bodies froze and became rigid.
"The King of Chambord. [Invincible Emperor Fist]... Such speed, such power..." After [Snow Mountain Hermit] took a look at them, he no longer paid attention to them. He was mesmerized in Fei's strike, and he lowered his head and murmured, "Such... Terrifying power... All of my internal organs and energy channels are destroyed... I was at my peak, but I still wasn't able to catch his moves... Cough... Hahahaha! Invincible Emperor Fist! What a name! What a technique! Being able to die under such a technique, I'm not wronged! One day, this technique will shock the continent! I'm the first one to experience this technique in full, and I will be recorded in the history books and stories. Haha! Good!"
As he said that, he took a pause, and blood started to drip down from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
As if he couldn't feel it, he turned around slowly and looked at the corpse beside him. The bitter smile on his face seemed even more vicious and tragic.
"Tony, my son... Don't blame your dad. The King of Chambord is too powerful... I can't even take one strike from him... Cough... Even if you make it out here alive, you couldn't escape from his claws! You will be tortured... Even if you tell him that secret, he won't let you go... You are still too naïve... I spoiled you... Since you have caused this trouble, I will just free you from all worries... Ahahahah! Puff!"
Before he could finish, he could no longer suppress the injuries inside his body. He raised his head and threw up a mouthful of blood. Then, he fell back onto his back.
After getting punched my Fei, all of the life energy left his body, and he was weaker than an ordinary person. However, the powerful vitality of the Half Moon Elite kept him alive. Now, all the vitality was gone, and he died completely.
After hearing [Snow Mountain Hermit]'s murmur and seeing this Moon-Class Elite die, the warden and the warders calmed down.
They saw the other corpse, and it was Tony.
His head was completely crushed, and a clear palm print could be seen on his skull. It was clear that he was hit by a palm covered by fire as his skull was burned. He looked fine from the outside, but his internal organs were probably burned as well since black smoke was coming out of his mouth.
Perhaps it was because that he got burned, but his gloomy face finally looked calmer.
"He is killed by his father."
The warden and the warder both guessed this young man's death. The King had a unique aura and didn't possess a burning fire-elemental Warrior Energy. On top of that, what [Snow Mountain Hermit] said kind of told them that he killed his beloved son.
"They really shouldn't stand on the other side of King Alexander," the warden thought, "But what is the secret that these two talked about?"
...
"Pack up the corpses and find a good place to give them a proper burial."
After walking out of this prison in Dual-Flags City, Fei was remarkably calm. He didn't feel guilty of killing his enemies, and he also didn't feel any joy from getting his revenge. However, since these two people put Angela and Elena in extreme danger, sneak-attacked the Mayor's Mansion, and killed three Bronze Saints and six Bylaw Enforcement Officers. Fei had to do what he had to do to avenge for his people.
One strike ended it all.
"As you wish!" the six Bylaw Enforcement Officers who were waiting outside saluted and entered the prison.
Fei thought about the secret that Tony told him and returned to the new palace that Angela and the girls were staying in after wandering around in the city with Torres.
Although he said that he was going to let Angela get the revenge on these two people, she didn't like anything bloody after all. Also, he didn't want to bring her into anywhere gloomy.
Since these two were also powerful, and any delay might result in issues later on, Fei decided to deal with them himself.
As soon as he returned, Maid Autumn came up and served him tea.
First, the Azeroth Continent didn't have such a thing as tea. However, when Fei was studying herbs and plants with Akara, he saw a few of them that had similar effects as tea. They had aromas and could help people concentration. Therefore, Fei gathered some of them and used them as tea.
Afterward, Angela who always paid attention to detail remembered it and started to collect similar herbs with loli Emma. They would treat these herbs the way that Fei told them to, and somehow, tea became popular in Chambord under Fei's lead.
A lot of alcoholics quit drinking liquor and started to enjoy tea.
Fei took a sip and asked, "Where is Angela? I don't see her training the four playful kids."
By 'the four playful kids', he meant Blacky, Thug, Chick, and Hooligan.
