Chapter 579: The Underground Cave (Part One)
With Brook as the guide, Fei and his guard, Torres, went to the back mountain of Chambord.
Before Fei left with the troops half a year ago, he used his a.s.sa.s.sin character to set up a ton of magic traps in here, increasing the security of this crucial underground base.
Half a year had pa.s.sed, and most of those magic traps expired. However, the security level of the back mountain was still high. Many of Cain and Akara's terrifying magic creations were implemented in this restricted area.
The small square and the building that led to the entrance of the underground cave disappeared.
In their place were large rocks that weighed over a ton each. There were a lot of mosses and dents on them, perfectly fitting in with the other rocks on the mountain. They looked like they had been there for thousands of years, and even a person with the best observational skills wouldn't be able to tell that these rocks were newly added.
The way to enter the underground cave now was through a teleportation array.
It was a part of Fei's planning, and Cain and Akara made it happen. A unique soul frequency identification system was added to the magic array. Now, only the people who had their soul frequencies recorded and authorized were able to use the teleportation array and get into the underground cave.
Otherwise, even powerful mages wouldn't be able to hack into the magic array. If anyone tried to do that, the teleportation array would self-detonate.
Therefore, this new setup guaranteed the safety of Chambord's top secrets.
Brook, Fei, and Torres' soul frequencies had been recorded, and they activated the teleportation array and entered the underground cave.
After a yellow energy flame and the feeling of being inside a spatial portal flashed by, Fei saw the very familiar underground corridor.
This corridor was about 2,000 meters long, and it was connected to the underground cave that was now known as the [City of Heroes].
Different from before where it was gloomy and was barely lit up by the flames in braziers that were hanging off the crude walls, the corridor was now completely renovated.
The green-greyish walls were fixed and painted with a magic mixture, and it was now bright and s.h.i.+ny. It reflected the lights from the soft silver magic lanterns on the wall, making this corridor look like the corridor in a G.o.dly palace.
Now, there was a black gate every 100 meters, blocking the way.

Fei took a closer look and realized that they were made from [Demons' Remains] and ores known as [Black Stone Essence]. With dense magic runes engraved on them, it was clear that they were made by Cain and Akara as well. They were thick and immune to the attacks of people who were below the level of Six-Star. Fei lightly knocked one gate and realized that they could at least block one strike from a Full Moon Elite before getting destroyed; that gave the king a pleasant surprise.
A ton of precious materials was used here! As if a billionaire was feeding truffles and Champagne to a pig, it felt a little wasteful. If loads of [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences] weren't found deep inside the underground cave, Chambord wouldn't be able to afford this. In fact, even level 5 and level 6 empires wouldn't spend their resources like this.
Every single gate was guarded, and guards would only open the gates using unique mechanisms after confirming the ident.i.ties.
These mechanisms were advanced, and they were from the [Demon King's Wisdom]. Their name was [G.o.ds' Sign], meaning that even the G.o.ds would have to sign and feel powerless when faced with such mechanisms. Although it was a little exaggerated, it went to show how secure the mechanisms were.
After going through 19 gates, Fei, Brook, and Torres finally arrived at the [City of Heroes].
The king and his guard's eyes lit up; they felt like they arrived at a paradise.
The huge underground cave was completely redone. The walls were painted with that silver magic mixture, lighting this s.p.a.ce up and making it feel like it was daytime. A lot of colorful gems and crystals were inlaid on the walls and added a bit of playfulness to it.

Chapter 579: The Underground Cave (Part Two)
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
When Fei and Torres first walked through the last gate, they saw all kinds of trees, gra.s.ses, and flowers. They felt like they were in a beautiful divine forest when they then saw squirrels and b.u.t.terflies, heard the chirps of birds and sound made by water fountains, and breathed in air that was even more refres.h.i.+ng than the outside world.
If the [City of Heroes] was a dusty and dirty prison half a year ago, then it was comparable to the paradise in the level 36 region at the Mythical Palace.
Several beautiful magic water fountains were situated in the four corners of the cave. The chilly water from the underground river was treated by a magic array and pulled into here, and the ear-pleasing sounds made by the flowing water added to the charm of this place.
There were now a ton of people inside the [City of Heroes], and the arrival of Fei instantly caught people's attention. A lot of people were excited, but they held their emotions in check. After waving and greeting, they quickly went back to their work.
'Hail the king' was chanted all over the place and at different volumes.
The reconstruction and renovation of Chambord was a huge project, and what happened so far was only the beginning.
Except for the students in the Civil and Military University, every person in here right now pa.s.sed many tests, and they were the most talented and most loyal members of Chambord. With great pay and loads of honor, these people put their minds to their work 100%, and no one slacked off.
As Fei walked around and greeted the people whom he was either familiar or unfamiliar with, he continued the tour.
The underground cave was several hundred meters tall and looked like the inner s.p.a.ce of a skysc.r.a.per. The walls of the underground cave were divided into 66 floors with many stone rooms on each floor. Half a year ago, manual pulleys and iron baskets were used to create basic elevators. Now, the magic teleportation arrays were everywhere and replaced them. A person could go from the first floor to the 66th floor in the blink of an eye.
This was the charm of magic technology.
A lot of mechanisms and setups in here were inspired by the items from Fei's previous life, and they were made by Cain and Akara using the information in [Demon King's Wisdom], the encyclopedia of magic technologies and magic principles.
Fei was the head architect of this place, and his way of thinking changed the [City of Heroes].
As he walked around, he quickly understood the use of the magic devices and mechanisms without having to hear it from Brook.
There were magic air conditioners that could change the temperature and humidity, magic vending machines that could provide people with all kinds of drinks, magic elevators that could teleport people between the 66 floors, magic radios that played the stories recorded by traveling poets, magic projectors that used divy crystals to play videos, and magic arcade machines that offered fun games... Fei felt like he was inside a modern mall on Earth!
A lot of the devices and ideas were new to this world, and they were very efficient at what they did. They went above the current use of magic and the popular belief of mages which was to deal as much damage as possible. These were all unique designs, and they would catch a lot of attention in the outside world.
When looking at the things in front of him, an overwhelming sense of achievement overtook Fei's mind.
He finally left his own mark on this continent which was totally different from Earth! Without Fei's unique mind, Cain and Akara couldn't make these items even if they had [Demon King's Wisdom].
As Fei was thinking to himself, loud and ear-piercing beeping noises sounded.
"Attention! Attention! An unidentified person sneaked into the [City of Heroes]! Attention! Attention! An unidentified person sneaked into the [City of Heroes]! He is located..."
The loud warning was broadcasted, and everyone's expression changed.
Chapter 580: The Combat Ability of Bylaw Enforcement Officers (Part One)
"What is going on? There is no safety drill scheduled for today." Brook was surprised.
Since the construction of the [City of Heroes], people who came and went from this place had been tightly monitored, and the security was good. There had never been an incident where an unidentified person came into this place, but it happened today when the king was here for the tour.
Loud warning noises sounded non-stop, and the red warning lights on the walls flashed.
However, the people in the [City of Heroes] didn't panic as much as Fei expected. The people who weren't soldiers instantly backed off into the designated safety rooms, and they were smooth and coordinate; it was clear that they had practiced this many time. Then, as loud banging noises sounded, the gates of the safety rooms dropped down. There were a ton of magic runes on the gates, making them indestructible.
Next, the soldiers who protected the [City of Heroes] rushed out from everywhere.
A ton of small holes appeared on the walls, and arrows that were loaded onto [Dragon Slayer] crossbows came out of those holes. The sharp, white arrows heads looked chilling, and they almost filled the walls, making them look like the backs of hedgehogs.
As flames flashed, the stealth magic protection arrays were activated. Magic elements started to become chaotic in the underground cave, turning the paradise into a dangerous place where traps were everywhere.
Then, soldiers who were in magic armors dashed out of the teleportation arrays and controlled the key locations before searching for that unidentified person.
Fei nodded and smiled; he was pleased with what he saw.
No military base could be truly impeccable, so the king wasn't mad that someone sneaked into the [City of Heroes]. He was pleased by the actions that took place after the unidentified person was discovered. A fast and systematic procedure after any breach was the key to keeping all information secure.
Multiple magic lights appeared on the wall, and they scanned the area and looked at all the corners and possible hiding places like searchlights.
These were called [True Sight], and they were recorded on [Demon King's Wisdom]. They were powerful devices from the Mythical Era that could reveal stealth units and expose a.s.sa.s.sins as soon as the lights were shone on them.
"Your Majesty, it is dangerous here. Do you want to go somewhere else?" Several soldiers circled Fei, and their captain, who was on the rank of Saint Seiya, carefully asked Fei.
Currently, the soldiers of Chambord were placed in three ranks.
The top rank was Saint Seiya. Fei appointed a group of people when he first created this division. After some modification, there were now a total of 45 of people. The weakest one of them was a Two-Star Warrior, and the more powerful ones such as Drogba, Torres, and Cech were all Eight-Star and Nine-Star Warriors. Leo Saint Lampard was the most powerful, and he already advanced into the Moon-Cla.s.s Realm.

The second rank was Bylaw Enforcement. Most of Chambord soldiers were bylaw enforcement officers, and there were about 500 of them, and most of them had taken diluted [Hulk Potion]. Even though they weren't Star-level Warriors, some of them obtained a bit of warrior energy, and they were all physically strong and had great combat abilities.
The third rank was Militia. Almost all citizens of Chambord would receive some military training once they met the age requirement.
The captain in front of Fei right now was a mid-tier Two-Star Warrior, and he had ice-elemental warrior energy. He had six saint seiyas and 20 bylaw enforcement officers with him, tightly protecting the king.
"Don't worry. I also want to see who was able to sneak into the [City of Heroes]. You don't need to protect me; resume your search." Fei smiled and shook his head.
He already spotted this unidentified person, but he didn't tell the soldiers. He wanted to use this opportunity to see how good the saint seiyas and the bylaw enforcement officers have gotten.
Even though this captain heard Fei and started the search, he and his men were still carefully scattered around Fei.
To them, the safety of their king was more important than anything.
They knew that the king's power was beyond their imagination, but they couldn't just ditch their responsibilities.
The lights projected by the [True Sight] magic lights continued to scan the area, but Fei discovered that the person in stealth was quietly moving toward him.
This person was already a Moon-Cla.s.s Elite, and he was much more powerful than the Chambord soldiers here. Besides, he also had on a cloak that helped him to stay stealth.

He easily pa.s.sed by the soldiers and escaped from the scanning of the [True Sight].

Chapter 580: The Combat Ability of Bylaw Enforcement Officers (Part Two)
One hundred meters…
Eighty meters…
Sixty meters…
This man easily dodged all detections and moved toward Fei fast.
When he moved pa.s.sed the saint seiyas, no one sensed him as if he was a ghost.
Soon, this person was less than 30 meters away from Fei; it felt like everything was in this intruder's control.
Suddenly, a saint seiya who was a Three-Star Warrior shouted, "Activate the gravity imprisonment array, rock swamp array, wind-binding array, vine-coiling array..."
At the same time, he turned around and struck toward an empty s.p.a.ce beside him.
That was where the invisible intruder was at.
Dashes of yellow, green, and cyan magic energy flames appeared under that person's feet and completely enveloped him. The chaotic magic elements instantly broke his stealth, and he was revealed.
He was a mid-aged man who looked fortyish, and he was wearing a black cloak.
Before the mocking and proud smile on his face could really s.h.i.+ne, it froze and turned into shock; he couldn't understand how he was discovered. He didn't touch a single soldier, and the lights from the [True Sight] didn��t s.h.i.+ne on him.
"How could a weak soldier discover me? How? What went wrong?"
He didn't have time to think about these questions.
At that moment, he felt heavy as the gravity in the area increased by more than a dozen times. Even though he was a mid-tier New Moon Elite, his knees were forced to bend a little. He was only able to straighten his legs after unleas.h.i.+ng his warrior energy. Then, the ground he was standing on turned soft, and his legs started to sink in. In the meantime, a lot of veins with sharp thorns on them grew from the swamp and coiled onto his legs.
Magic arrays were instantly activated.
Now, that saint seiya was already in his face, striking toward him.
"d.a.m.n it!" this mid-aged man growled and punched out, trying to defend himself.
Boom!!!!
Their hands collided, and it made this intruder sink into the swamp even more.
In an instant, more than half of his thighs were in the swamp.
On the other hand, that saint seiya roared as he flew back and spat out a mouthful of blood. The difference in their strengths was too significant. Even though this intruder didn't have enough time to use all his strength, the Three-Star Warrior was. .h.i.t by a Moon-Cla.s.s Elite and got severely injured; his arm bones almost broke.
If others suffered from such a blow, they might have fainted already. However, this saint seiya was fierce; as he got send flying in the air, he shouted, "[Dragon Slayers], shoot!!!"
Now, Fei realized that this saint seiya tried to attack this intruder so that the latter would sink into the swamp even more. What this soldier did just bought time for the crossbows to shoot at the enemy.
Before this soldier made his move, he already knew that he was going to be severely injured. However, he still acted without hesitation; he was a true warrior.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Three crossbows moved and shot out three magic arrows as soon as that saint seiya shouted, and the arrows almost instantly got to the mid-aged man who quickly escaped from the magic arrays.
The power within the arrows surprised this mid-aged man, and he had to unleash his full strength to fight against them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This person was indeed strong. As the explosions happened, he pushed the three huge magic arrows, that were shot out of the [Dragon Slayers], off trajectory even though his hands bleed.
However, that impact force pushed him, who just got out of the swamp, back deep into it. Now, he was stuck in there waist down.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Five more crossbows fired, and the sharp air-piercing noises sounded like the vicious laughs of the Grim Reaper.
The magic defense system in the [City of Heroes] was powerful, and many components worked together well. Without giving this mid-aged man the chance to catch his breath, more than a dozen [Dragon Slayers] on the walls fire altogether.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions appeared
The magic energy flame and the clouds of dust completely enveloped the area.
Fei vaguely saw the spilling of blood and heard a m.u.f.fled grown, but he couldn't be sure since a lot of things was going on. No one knew if this mid-aged man dodged all attacks or not.
"Capture him alive! We need to know who he is and how he got in here!" Brook shouted.
Highly cautious, the bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas slowly moved toward the center of the clouds of dust.
Chapter 581: Do You Know Now?
Soon, the dust and the magic energy flames settled, and people finally saw what happened .
"Hahahah! Great! A little Chambord has such hidden military base and such terrifying magic weapons that no one knows about! Haha, great! Crown Prince His Highness is right! King Alexander, you sure want to commit treason!"
Even though this mid-aged man was covered in blood, he laughed without fear .
The magic arrays that trapped this man were all destroyed by the magic arrows, and this mid-aged man was now stuck into the hard ground from the waist down .
His right shoulder was penetrated through by a huge arrow that was as thick as a wine bottle, and his entire right arm almost fell off . Also, his abdomen area was penetrated through by another arrow, a few of his ribs broke, and a portion of his intestines was exposed . He was in a terrible condition, but he was a Moon-Class Elite and was able to withstand it . An ordinary person would have died with this level of injuries, but this man was fierce and completely ignored the wounds on his body as if someone else was injured .
As he shouted, his brows were raised like knives .
Even though he was in a devastating situation, he ignored the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who were approaching him . He took out a black token from his inner pocket using his intact left hand and threw it to Fei .
A mocking smile appeared on this mid-aged man's face as he sneered, "Look at this token! I'm a guardian of the Senate to the royal family of Zenit, and I'm here to investigate Chambord under the order from Arshavin His Highness and see if you are really trying to commit treason . My identity is prestige, and injuring me is a big crime of its own . Do you really to commit treason? Quickly get rid of these soldiers and get me a healer!"
The people around him were all stunned .
They didn't expect that this intruder would be one of the envoys from St . Petersburg . If this was the case and what he said was true, then Chambord couldn't do anything to him even though it was already a level 1 affiliated kingdom . After all, no affiliated kingdom was given the power to judge and punish a guardian of the Senate .
"It is really him! I remember now; when that Barkov came to visit me, this man was behind him . He is the deputy envoy of the envoy group from St . Petersburg . I didn't know that he has this identity as well... Damn it!" Brook's face changed color as he walked up and whispered into Fei's ear .
For a moment, everyone was looking at Fei .
In this situation, only the king could decide on what to do .
"Humph! King of Chambord, what are you waiting for? Call over a mage to heal me! I heard that you defeated four Executive Knights on the No . 1 Sword-Testing Stage and participated in the operation of hunting down assassins who killed Martial Saint Krasic . You have a bright future, and my advice to you is not to mistake your potential as real strength . The real reason that you were able to dominate in the Capital was that we, the seniors, didn't want to lower ourselves to teach you a lesson . Humph! Don't think that no one in the empire could deal with you!" this mid-aged man said with chilliness in his eyes . He wasn't respectful at all .
"How dare you!"

"Reckless!"
"How dare you to be so rude in front of a level 2 noble of the empire?"
After hearing the mockery, the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers all shouted . To these warriors, the Crown Prince and the Senate meant nothing . If their king gave the order, they would rush over and kill this man without hesitation .
As soon as this mid-aged man finished speaking, Fei suddenly smiled and broke his silence .
"The Crown Prince's intelligence network sure is slow; or, he didn't want to tell you the truth?"
"What?" the mid-aged man was confused .
Fei looked at the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers and said in a moderate speed, "This person is a member of Spartax, and he stole the identity of a guardian of the Senate and is trying to defame the Crown Prince . He is a real criminal! I will go to Emperor Yassin and get the person, who captures this criminal, the reward he deserves!"
Fei looked at the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers and said in a moderate speed, "This person is a member of Spartax, and he stole the identity of a guardian of the Senate and is trying to defame the Crown Prince . He is a real criminal! I will go to Emperor Yassin and get the person, who captures this criminal, the reward he deserves!"
"What? You... How dare you!!!!?" the mid-aged man was so angry that his face paled . He said as his lips twitched, "King of Chambord, you are really committing treason! I already showed my badge, and you are still..."

Before he could finish, the soldiers of Chambord already charged at him .
This man was getting his butt handed to him . He was a New Moon Elite who could destroy the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers here, but the magic defense system at the [City of Heroes] was too strong, and the crossbows were too powerful . He was a little careless and instantly got severely injured . At the moment, his legs were stuck in the ground, and he had less than 20% of his strength left . Although he wasn't in immediate danger, he couldn't get away easily .
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It felt like a bunch of tigers were trying to eat a dragon when the soldiers of Chambord rushed toward this man fiercely .
For a moment, various colored warrior energy flames appeared, and the battle was crazy . As loud booming noises sounded, Chambord soldiers were knocked away . However, more and more soldiers charged at this man, not giving him a chance to breathe .
Fei just stood on the side and watched with a smile on his face .
However, he was secretly knocking his fingers to send hidden energies into the battle .
These hidden energies blocked the most lethal strikes coming from this intruder just in time, and the soldiers of Chambord who got knocked away didn't get any life-threatening injuries . After shaking their heads to get rid of the dizziness, they got up and jumped in the battle again .
The king was using this poor man as a stepping stone to train the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers so that they could get more battle experience .
The king was using this poor man as a stepping stone to train the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers so that they could get more battle experience .
"Ahahahah! King of Chambord! I'm going to kill you!!" this intruder who was a little fatigued now finally felt like something strange was going on, and dashes of energy flames appeared, knocking away all the soldiers of Chambord .
With a vicious expression on his face, he took out a sealed scroll from his inner pocket and shook it .
"Let me kill you first, and these idiots will know to back off!!!"
Whoosh!!!
A dash of golden sword energy shot through the air, leaving black cracks in the space as it was faster than lightning .
Bam! Bam! Bam!
This sword energy was sharp, and it instantly destroyed more than a dozen magic arrays that the soldiers of Chambord secretly placed around Fei which were able to block the full-on strikes of Moon-Class Elites .
"Save His Majesty!"
"Quick! Save His Majesty!"
The soldiers panicked when they saw that the sword energy was going for Fei's forehead . The soldiers who were close to Fei tried to jump over and block it for the king instinctively before their brains could process what was going on .
Even though this sword energy could penetrate through multiple magic shields and was capable of killing them instantly, none of them hesitated .
The soldier who jumped over first was that Two-Star Warrior who had ice-elemental warrior energy . With his eyes wide open, he burned his warrior energy and tried to slow down this golden sword energy with his life .

The soldier who jumped over first was that Two-Star Warrior who had ice-elemental warrior energy . With his eyes wide open, he burned his warrior energy and tried to slow down this golden sword energy with his life .
This golden sword energy seemed to have already touched his forehead, and skin on his forehead was cut . As the blood drops were about to slide down his face, the vicious Grim Reaper already raised his sickle .
This saint seiya was staring at this golden sword energy angrily, and he was about to witness how it was going to pierce through his head and destroy his body .
Suddenly, the situation changed . That piercing pain disappeared, and the golden sword energy was gone from his vision . Instead, he saw the broad and strong back of a person .
"It is His Majesty!" this saint seiya instantly recognized who this person was .
His eyes opened wider as he thought, "So... so fast!!! His Majesty... When... How could he be faster than that sword energy? Sh*t! That sword energy..."
He was terrified when he realized that the king was right in front of that golden sword energy .
On the other hand, that mid-aged man was stunned as well; what he saw made him lose hope, and his heart was sinking to the bottom of an abyss .
"Do you know now?" Fei asked this intruder calmly .
In front of the king, there were layers of transparent ripples, creating crystal lotuses one after another . That golden sword energy was forced back by a meter, and it was imprisoned by those transparent ripples . Like a snail that was stuck in a swamp, it couldn't move around . The golden light on it shone brighter and brighter, but it couldn't do anything .
"Know... know what?" the mid-aged man asked dispiritedly .
Fei sighed and looked at this man as if the latter was the most stupid person in the world . As a confident smile appeared on his face, Fei unleashed his power, looked down on this intruder, and stated, "You should know that except for Emperor Yassin, no one else in the empire could fight against me! Even if there are numerous hidden masters, none of them could rival with me! Even if that person behind you has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, got a ton of influence, and won the throne, he couldn't do anything to me! If I want to, I can kill him easily!"
Chapter 581: Do You Know Now?.
Soon, the dust and the magic energy flames settled, and people finally saw what happened
"Hahahah! Great! A little Chambord has such hidden military base and such terrifying magic weapons that no one knows about! Haha, great! Crown Prince His Highness is right! King Alexander, you sure want to commit treason!".

With a vicious expression on his face, he took out a sealed scroll from his inner pocket and shook it
"Let me kill you first, and these idiots will know to back off!!!".
Whoosh!!!.
A dash of golden sword energy shot through the air, leaving black cracks in the space as it was faster than lightning
Bam! Bam! Bam!.
This sword energy was sharp, and it instantly destroyed more than a dozen magic arrays that the soldiers of Chambord secretly placed around Fei which were able to block the full-on strikes of Moon-Class Elites
"Save His Majesty!".
"Quick! Save His Majesty!".
The soldiers panicked when they saw that the sword energy was going for Fei's forehead . The soldiers who were close to Fei tried to jump over and block it for the king instinctively before their brains could process what was going on
Even though this sword energy could penetrate through multiple magic shields and was capable of killing them instantly, none of them hesitated
The soldier who jumped over first was that Two-Star Warrior who had ice-elemental warrior energy . With his eyes wide open, he burned his warrior energy and tried to slow down this golden sword energy with his life
This golden sword energy seemed to have already touched his forehead, and skin on his forehead was cut . As the blood drops were about to slide down his face, the vicious Grim Reaper already raised his sickle
This saint seiya was staring at this golden sword energy angrily, and he was about to witness how it was going to pierce through his head and destroy his body
Suddenly, the situation changed . That piercing pain disappeared, and the golden sword energy was gone from his vision . Instead, he saw the broad and strong back of a person
"It is His Majesty!" this saint seiya instantly recognized who this person was
His eyes opened wider as he thought, "So... so fast!!! His Majesty... When... How could he be faster than that sword energy? Sh*t! That sword energy...".
He was terrified when he realized that the king was right in front of that golden sword energy
On the other hand, that mid-aged man was stunned as well; what he saw made him lose hope, and his heart was sinking to the bottom of an abyss
"Do you know now?" Fei asked this intruder calmly
In front of the king, there were layers of transparent ripples, creating crystal lotuses one after another . That golden sword energy was forced back by a meter, and it was imprisoned by those transparent ripples . Like a snail that was stuck in a swamp, it couldn't move around . The golden light on it shone brighter and brighter, but it couldn't do anything
"Know... know what?" the mid-aged man asked dispiritedly
Fei sighed and looked at this man as if the latter was the most stupid person in the world . As a confident smile appeared on his face, Fei unleashed his power, looked down on this intruder, and stated, "You should know that except for Emperor Yassin, no one else in the empire could fight against me! Even if there are numerous hidden masters, none of them could rival with me! Even if that person behind you has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, got a ton of influence, and won the throne, he couldn't do anything to me! If I want to, I can kill him easily!".
Chapter 582: The Son of An Acquaintance
Even a saint would get mad if someone provoked him or her enough, let alone Fei .
After being pressured and provoked by Arshavin and his henchmen multiple times, Fei got mad this time when they tried to accuse him of committing treason . When he spat those words, he didn't hide his murderous spirit . Although he didn't name drop Arshavin, his threatening tone was unhidden .
After hearing what Fei said, this mid-aged man lost all hope and froze .
When Fei was speaking, he lightly breathed out and blew onto that golden sword energy . What shocked this intruder was that the golden sword energy that was invincible before got shattered into dust before dispersing into the air . After a few seconds, it felt like it never existed .
At this moment, this mid-aged man realized what the King of Chambord meant with those words, and he understood how powerful this king was .
He knew whom this golden sword energy was from and how powerful it was .

This ultimate trump card was given to him so that he could assassinate the King of Chambord if the timing was right, but now it seemed like their plans and schemes were ridiculous . He felt like they were a few dogs that were trying to kill a holy dragon .
The king's power was beyond the stretch of their imaginations .
When the king got serious, even the vague aura he showed made this mid-aged man, who was a Moon-Class Elite, feel like a huge mountain was about to crush down on his back .
Indefensible power!
This mid-aged man redefined King Alexander in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Crown Prince Arshavin .
"If Zenit's God of War who is proud right now knows what happened to the King of Chambord's strength in half a year, he would change his stance without hesitation . From the look of it, this battle he is fighting is meaningless, and he has no chance of winning . If nothing drastic occurs, the outcome of this battle between the prince, who is the most talented commander at Zenit, and the young nobleman, who is rising in the empire the quickest, is already determined . "
This mid-aged man who thought everything through surrendered; he knew the law of the jungle and the fact that absolute power could destroy anything .
When a saint seiya walked over to put the magic handcuffs on him, he didn't even try to resist . With the king who was a powerful master here, there was no way that he could get out; putting up more resistance was like asking for more humiliation .

"Hand him over to the Justice Department . " Fei waved his hand .
Although he didn't say anything, he knew that Oleg knew what he wanted . Since this person sneaked into the tightly guarded and protected [City of Heroes], it meant that something went wrong . The loophole needed to be exposed and fixed .
The person behind all this was clear, so no work needed to be done there .
"King of Chambord..."
"King of Chambord..."
Before he was dragged away, this mid-aged man looked at Fei and wanted to say something when he passed the king . However, he only sighed in the end .
Before, he thought that this king was an arrogant young man who didn't know his boundaries . Even though Crown Prince Arshavin told him specifically to be aware and be careful at Chambord, this overly-proud guardian of the Senate disregarded it . In his eyes, even if a king of an affiliated kingdom was talented, he couldn't do anything without enough resources and guidance .
"A sparrow is going to be a sparrow . How could it jump on a tree and become a phoenix?" he once thought .
Well... the sparrow did jump on a tree, and it didn't just become a phoenix; it turned into a terrifying holy dragon!

"Can anyone in the Zenit Empire deal with this powerful young king?" this mid-aged man thought as he was dragged to the prison in the basement of the underground cave .
At the moment, he was really weak . Due to the loss of blood and severe injuries, his face was pale, and his lips turned black . However, the information he just got shocked him more than the bodily injuries he was suffering from .
After thinking through the hidden masters of the empire, he made a shocking discovery . Even if all the masters who belonged to Zenit came out, none of them could overpower this king .
"What this king said is true . If Emperor Yassin doesn't come out, no one could deal with him . What is also terrifying is that the soldiers of Chambord are looking at this king as if he is a god; even the most devoted believers couldn't be compared to them . The way they look at him is even scarier than how the soldiers at the [Iron Blood Legion] look at Arshavin . " When he thought back to how the soldiers of Chambord looked at their king, this mid-aged man got fearful . It was easy to imagine that if the king raised his arms and wanted to break away from Zenit, these soldiers would listen to him wholeheartedly . In their minds, the Zenit Empire wasn't anything .

Soldiers and people in the military knew how terrifying that was, and even regular people could see the issue for Zenit .
"Is it fortunate or unfortunate that the King of Chambord was born in Zenit?" he thought .
...
This small incident was quickly over, and Fei demonstrated to his people how powerful he was . As a result, the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers worshipped him even more .
Now, they were no longer farmers who could only swing their farm equipment at the invaders on the defense wall . As official soldiers who either obtained warrior energy or on the verge of getting it, they could tell that their king's strength was broad like the ocean .
As they chanted 'hail the king', Fei took out a bottle of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] and healed the injured soldiers himself .
This simple action touched these soldiers even more, and some of them even teared up .
After Fei healed the Three-Star Warrior who silently laid down the magic traps and successfully dragged down that intruder who was a Moon-Class Elite, he asked, "Warrior, tell me your name . "
This young man displayed courage as well as intelligence, leaving a mark on Fei's mind . Just the impression he gave Fei in those few seconds made the king feel like this young man could be built into something greater, and the king couldn't stop his love for talent .
"Your Majesty, my name is Ed Hazard, the son of Terry Hazard," the young man answered excitedly . He didn't waver when facing the Moon-Class Elite, but his voice shivered when answering the king's question . It just went to show how much the king weighed in their minds .

"Huh? You are the son of the blacksmith, Old Hazard?" Fei knew this young man's father .
"Ah?... Your Majesty... You... You know my father?�� this young man was surprised, and he felt very honored . He didn't expect the great king who was very busy to know a poor blacksmith .
"Hahaha! Why wouldn't I? When we fought the black-armored enemies last autumn, I battled the enemies alongside your father . Your father used a forge hammer and killed six enemies . He lost one of his legs in the battle, and he is a real fighter . Young man, you are even better than your father; you didn't lose face for him!" Fei said .
He had a great memory, and the battle was the first battle he got involved in after he came to this world so that he could recall it vividly . He still remembered a lot of faces and names of the people who helped with the city's defense .
Although Fei didn't realize what this meant to his people, the soldiers all reacted . Being remembered by the king was a great honor!
Not only Ed Hazard, but other saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers were motivated by how much the king cared for his people .
The charisma the king showed made the soldiers fall for him more compared to his great strength .

Chapter 583: Chambord's Education System (Part One)
Fei thought about it and took out a cultivation technique scroll from his storage s.p.a.ce, gifting it to Ed Hazard.
This was a unique technique that Fei created on the way back to Chambord. It was based on an interesting technique from [Demon King's Sword], and Fei named it [Diamond Dust Fist]. In terms of warrior energy property, it was perfect for Ed Hazard.
Subconsciously, Fei wanted to turn this young man into Bronze Saint of Cygnus since he looked similar to Hyōga, the original Bronze Saint of Cygnus in the anime.
As his peers looked at him with envy, Ed carefully took the scroll and treated it like a supreme treasure.
"One more thing; how did you find that invader?" Fei suddenly thought back to how this young man discovered that mid-aged man, and it was a little unimaginable. Without external help, Ed Hazard, who was only a Three-Star Warrior, shouldn't be able to discover that Moon-Cla.s.s Elite.
"Your Majesty, that is because we all have this magic item with us..." Ed took a watch-like item off his wrist and handed it over to Fei carefully. He explained, "Anyone who is below the realm of Sun-Cla.s.s couldn't hide all their bodily heat. They couldn't do it even if they have great stealth techniques and stealth items. Professor Cain said that all the pores on a person's body are constantly emitting heat. This device, with the help from the special paint on the wall called [Demon Moon's Light], could sense all the minuscule changes in heat in an area five meters around it. Therefore..."
"That old man really made it?" Fei was pleasantly surprised, and he also didn't know what do say.
It was him who told Cain about the heat being emitted by the pores, and Cain didn't believe it at first. Now, he was promoting the same theory as if he discovered it.
Soon, the loud warnings ended, and the red warning lights on the walls also stopped flas.h.i.+ng.
After the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers searched around the [City of Heroes] again and made sure that there were no more intruders, the [Dragon Slayers] were pulled back, and all the gates locking down the safety rooms slowly reopened. Then, the workers and students walked out of there and continued with their tasks calmly.
There were designated personnel who were in charge of cleaning up the mess created by the battle.
The saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers all saluted at the king and left through the teleportation arrays one group after another.
This underground cave returned to its calm, peaceful, refres.h.i.+ng, and pleasant state, and it felt like nothing happened. The birds and cute animals that went to hide somewhere returned as well, squeaking and chirping as they looked at the people who were walking around curiously.
Fei nodded in satisfaction.
The [City of Heroes] indeed had a powerful magic defense system, and it was beyond his estimation. When he wandered around afterward, he spotted even more magic traps and killing mechanisms that weren't used in the battle. Therefore, even if he weren't here, that mid-aged man couldn't get away.
Do You Have Any Idea What Type of Animal This Exotic Pet Could Be?
Nueey
Before the renovation project began, Cain and Akara were very confident in their modification of the design of the [City of Heroes]; they said that the powerful magic traps and killing mechanisms were enough to handle Moon-Cla.s.s Elites. Even if Sun-Cla.s.s Lords entered this place, they would get a headache. From the look it, those two mad scientists weren't bluffing.
Fei reviewed the design put forth by them before, and he knew that less than one-tenth of the plan was implemented. It was enough to capture a New Moon Elite now; once completed, it would be enough to tie down Sun-Cla.s.s Lords.
By using the magic elevator, Fei went to every floor and checked out the implemented designs one by one with Brook and Torres.
The first floor to the fifth floor was open to anyone, and there were resting rooms, dining halls, workout rooms, etc. The sixth floor to the 15th floor was the campus of the Civil and Military University. The rooms on the ten floors were divided into places such as cla.s.srooms, experimental rooms, practice rooms, common weaponry rooms, and libraries. This university was based on the universities in Fei's previous life, and all the facilities were there. There were more than 1,000 kids between the age of ten and 18 studying here, and they were the key to Chambord's future rise.
All the kids who were younger than ten years old were getting pre-schooled in the Chambord City, and only the more talented and extraordinary kids were taken into the Civil and Military University as exceptions.

Chapter 583: Chambord's Education System (Part Two)
To some degree, since Fei knew that investing in education was very important, the Chambord Kingdom was the kingdom that spent the most money in this field in the region with a diameter of one million kilometers. The education these kids were receiving was comprehensive and scientific, completely breaking the unwritten rule where only the kids of affluent families could study and changing many kids' lives.
As the king of Chambord, Fei was also the princ.i.p.al of the school.
Here's the Purpose of That Little Pocket in Women's Underwear
Nueey
However, he wasn't a good princ.i.p.al since he hadn't shown his face in the school for more than half a year, and he never taught one cla.s.s nor had one speech.
"Schedule a cla.s.s three days later. Otherwise, I'm not filling my duty," Fei said to Brook.
They didn't disturb the kids who were having cla.s.ses; they only wandered outside the cla.s.srooms and checked the cla.s.ses out.
"That is great! The kids will be thrilled once they know that Your Majesty is going to teach one cla.s.s," Brook replied with a bright smile on his face.
When the king first promoted the free and universal education program, leaders in Chambord such as Brook and others didn't understand it. Now, as these talented kids grew quickly like gra.s.ses with enough suns.h.i.+ne, water, and nutrition, the talent count at Chambord increased drastically. These leaders finally understood why the king always said that talent was the most crucial resource in a chaotic era.
Actually, this wasn't a unique and new idea; anyone who was smart could figure it out after some thinking. However, in this world where bloodline and social status were extremely important, many wise kings and emperors couldn't break the hierarchy and strict social ladder.
The 16th floor to the 25th floor was an open area.
Different from the five floors at the bottom, there were many carefully designed practice battlefields, magic arrays that could train one's willpower, magic traps that could test one's agility and reaction speed, battle stages where people could duel, and training rooms where there were machines that could boost people's body functionality. Fei personally designed most of these.
Of course, there was more than a dozen b.l.o.o.d.y arenas.
There were several demons in them such as [Fallens] and [Fallen Shamans]; they were summoned here by Fei.
Since there were [Fallen Shamans] in each arena, it continued to revive the [Fallens] after they were killed.
This design provided the soldiers of Chambord unlimited practice partners.
Before Fei led the troop on the expedition, he spent some of his experience points and summoned more than a dozen [Fallen Shaman] from Diablo World. They were placed in deep pits before, and they allowed saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers to get better with their skills. A qualified saint seiya should be able to kill a [Fallen] with their bare fists.
By fight with these demons, the soldiers' wills and courage increased as well. They acc.u.mulated battle experiences and developed their murderous spirits. When they had to fight against other people, they would be more confident in themselves and perform better.
Only the soldiers who saw the blood of their enemies and themselves were qualified to be called warriors.
Now, the arenas were opened to the university students.
Gradually, a unique tradition appeared. Only the soldiers and students who killed these demons could refer to themselves as 'king's warriors'.
The 26th floor to the 31st floor was a buffer area, and there were no facilities. They were filled with deadly magic traps and killing mechanisms.
Different from the traps and mechanisms that were used in the training area, these could easily destroy anyone who was under the level of Six-Star. They were here to stop people from entering the 32nd floor and up.
From the 32nd floor and up, it was the core restricted area of Chambord's military. Only the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who pa.s.sed strict tests and high-level officials of Chambord could go up there. Chambord's military headquarter, strategic weapon storage, war weapon manufacturing plants, and war weapon research and development lab were located here.
This was the core of Chambord and the most mysterious place in the kingdom.
As Fei walked pa.s.sed all these unique facilities, the sense of achievement grew stronger and stronger.
In the end, he appeared before a unique teleportation array that was located in the central hall on the 66th floor.
This teleportation array could teleport people into the mysterious s.p.a.ce behind the underground cave. There was earthly fire, ice abyss, a ton of [Demons' Remains], and crazy storms. That place was Fei's real destination of this trip.
There were too many mysteries that Fei had to solve.
Chapter 584: The Mysterious Altar and Teleportation Portal (Part One)
-Deep inside the tunnel behind the underground cave-
This was a s.p.a.ce that was much larger than the [City of Heroes]. This place was surrounded by an icy, bottomless abyss, leaving the tunnel as the only way to come and go from here.
Cracks could be seen everywhere on the ground, making it look like a dry river bed. However, the heat that could be sensed through the cracks told everyone that this place was way scarier than a dry river bed.
In the middle of this s.p.a.ce, there was a pyramid-like mountain of white bones. It was about 700 meters tall, the diameter at the bottom of the mountain was more than 1,000 meters.
The bones were very reflective, and blue will-o'-the-wisps were burning from time to time, adding to the strange yet mystic beauty of this place.
More than a dozen simple tents were constructed beside this mountain of white bones, and crisp metal-colliding noises sounded from around the tents. From these sounds alone, one could tell that the blacksmith who was doing the forging must be a master. That person was able to turn the ear-piercing noise into rhythmic music, making people fell for it.
Suddenly, a blue magic energy flame flashed on a portable magic teleportation station that was located beside the tent.
Then, Fei, Brook, and Torres appeared on it.
"Almost nothing changed..." Fei glanced around and noticed everything. Compared with the huge changes that took place in the [City of Heroes], this mysterious s.p.a.ce didn't get altered that much. The only thing different was that there were a few more tents.
Of course, Fei knew the reason.
Every 20 days or so, terrifying ice blocks would be jetted out of the dark abyss, and the cracks on the ground would also shoot out terrifying Flames of Earth Core. The drastic difference in temperature would create rainstorms and tornadoes, and the wind alone could blow Nine-Star Warriors away.
Since the environment in this place was so terrible, it was meaningless trying to construct permanent buildings here.
However, since the Flames of Earth Core was required to melt the [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences], most of the forging of weapons and armors were done here. During the days when there was no rainstorm and tornado, the busty blacksmith from the Diablo World, Charsi, would bring her disciples from Chambord here. They would live in these tents and forge items with iron hammers beside the magic furnaces that could suck the energy from the Flames of Earth Core underground.
"Huh? Alexander, you are here? Long time no see! Eh, you are a lot more handsome and cuter than before! I heard that you are going to marry our [Flower of Rogue] soon? You are very lucky! It is rare to see a powerful, cute, and gentle female rogue like Elena..." As soon as she saw Fei, Charsi, who was swinging her hammer and forging a huge weapon, greeted Fei pa.s.sionately as she swiped the sweat off her forehead.
Charsi was such a simple yet warm-hearted girl.
Do You Have Any Idea What Type of Animal This Exotic Pet Could Be?
Nueey
Out of all the NPCs from [Rogue Encampment], she was the only one who ignored Fei's ident.i.ty as the supreme leader of the camp as well as the King of Chambord; she treated Fei like a real friend. Ever since Fei got her that magical hammer, she had been very pa.s.sionate toward him and called him handsome and cute.
"Eh, thanks for the hard work," Fei walked up and greeted the members in Charsi's team.
There was a ton of renovation happening every day. If it weren't for Charsi and other blacksmiths such as Samuel who all worked day and nights, the progress wouldn't be that quick. Cain, Akara, and Fei only came up with the ideas and the blueprints, and actually turning the blueprints into reality required a lot of skill and confidence. Everything in Chambord that had magic runes engraved on them was made by Charsi and her a.s.sistants.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Charsi's team of 50 to 60 people worked the hardest in Chambord, and they deserved a lot of credits.
"Hahaha, it is not hard at all! We are used to it. If I don't swing the hammer and forge something, I would feel like I lost my loved one!" Charsi showed Fei her magical hammer as a bright smile appeared on her face and her red ponytail fluttered in the air.

Chapter 584: The Mysterious Altar and Teleportation Portal (Part Two)
This girl was a born-blacksmith; the most enjoyable thing in her life was forging.
In reality, every person in [Rogue Encampment] was obsessed with something. For example, Akara and Cain were in love with magic research, Charsi was obsessed with forging, Merchant Gheed was great at reading other people's minds, and Military Leader Kashya was crazy about killing enemies... It felt like all of them were living for their pa.s.sions, and no ordinary people could understand them

To Fei, they were all top talents, and he was desperate for their help.
"Yeah, if I don't listen to Master Charsi's hammering noises for a day, I could feel like I haven't eaten anything for the whole day..." this female blacksmith's no.1 disciple, Samuel, smiled and said to the king as well.
This man was the former no.1 blacksmith at Chambord, and he didn't want to admit defeat to Charsi. Now, his att.i.tude completely changed, and he saw Charsi as his master. Out of all the blacksmiths here, he got the most progress in skills. He was able to forge a magic item on his own now, and he was a rare blacksmith that even thousands of gold coins couldn't recruit.
The pa.s.sionate NPCs from [Rogue Encampment] were helping Fei by teaching and raising groups of talents.
Fei went to watch these blacksmith work. He saw Ed Hazard's father, Terry Hazard, working here as well.
This man lost his right leg in the battle against the black-armored enemies, and Fei designed a prosthesis for him. Now, this man was able to stand straight and continue his pa.s.sion for forging.
The king got interested in forging as well after seeing everyone doing it, and he gave it a shot as well. However, he destroyed six pieces of work-in-process items that were close to becoming magic items in a row, so he gave up; it looked like he didn't have talent in this aspect.
Soon, the blacksmith started to pack up. They took down the tents, put their tools away, and left this place using the portable teleportation station.
The event that would occur every month was about to arrive.
The chilly energy from the abyss was getting more and more intense, and ice blocks shot out from the abyss. Also, more and more heat energy was coming from the cracks on the ground.
Since the rainstorm was about to hit, the blacksmiths who were weak wouldn't be able to stand up against this situation.
Under Fei's persuasion, Brook and Torres also left with the blacksmiths; Fei was the only one who was there.
Soon, as clapping noises sounded, huge drops of water fell. The rain got more aggressive, and it felt like someone was pouring water out of a gigantic bucket.
Bam Bam! Bam!
Huge pieces of ice blocks were tossed up from the bottomless abyss, and the Flames of Earth Core started to appear. All the moisture in the air around Fei was evaporated and turned into liquid before falling onto the ground.
As the cold and hot air mixed, the terrifying tornadoes appeared.
When Fei first encountered this a year ago, he almost lost his life. It was fortunate that he tied himself to a stone pillar made from [Black Stone Essence]; that move saved his life, and it also allowed him to see the mysterious altar at the bottom of the mountain of white bones.
Compared with a year ago, Fei's strength had improved drastically.
Faced with the heavy rainstorm and tornadoes, Fei created an invisible energy sphere and blocked off everything two meters away. Without being affected, Fei calmly walked forward.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The crazy wind blew all the pieces of [Demons' Remains] into the air.
Soon, the entire mountain made of white bones flew into the air, and it looked like a cloud of bones in the sky. The bones spun and circled in the air as if they were alive, and the ear-piercing bone-grinding noises made when the bones. .h.i.t each other resonated in the area. The entire scene was terrifying.
As the white bones flew into the air, it revealed the mysterious no-name altar which was at the bottom of the mountain of white bones.
Fei walked toward this mysterious altar and stared at the blue portal on it; he wasn't sure if he should enter or not. After all, he didn't know where it led to.
As the king thought about this question, he looked away from the portal and focused onto the scriptures that were lightly engraved on this mysterious altar.
He made some discoveries.
Chapter 585: Last Ancestral Place (Part One)
This mysterious altar was about six meters tall, it was in the shape of an octagon, and there was a total of eight levels. It was made from a type of unknown black stone, and it felt heavy just by looking at it. The blue portal at the top level of the altar lit up the entire structure, making it look like a lighthouse of h.e.l.l.
On the surface of the bottom seven levels, there were thick, finger-wide magic engravings. They looked ancient yet fundamental, and the smooth lines formed many magic pathings that were filled with an ancient magic energy sensation. However, Fei, who wasn't a magic connoisseur, didn't understand the magic arrays.
Nevertheless, he knew that the style of magic was from the Mythical Era, which was quite different from the current day magic.
On the side of the eighth level, Fei discovered a line of writing.
"In the name of the great Dwarf G.o.d, Fiat, open the gate to the last ancestral place..."
These were written in the ancient language used in the Mythical Era, and the modern language used on the Azeroth Continent was based on it. What was surprising was that the language in Diablo World was strikingly similar to this ancient language. Fei studied this language from Cain and Akara a little, so he was able to make out the meaning of this sentence after a while.
"Dwarf G.o.d Fiat?" Fei heard stories about the legendary heroes and G.o.ds in the Mythical Era from traveling poets, and Dwarf G.o.d Fiat was one of the protagonists in those stories.
It was heard that this dwarf G.o.d was one of the terrifying heroes on the side of the demons, and he was the primordial G.o.d to all the branches and clans of dwarfs. He controlled one of the ten major G.o.d-tier combat weapons, [Ax of Earth], and he killed many powerful masters on the side of the G.o.ds. He was well-known and invincible.
However, for some reason, this powerful G.o.d still fell.
Now, a lot of people believed that the dwarfs disappeared from the continent because their G.o.d suddenly died. The dwarfs were half as tall as a human, lived in underground caves, had long hair and beard, and were all great blacksmiths. Without the protection of their G.o.d, they lost their honors and went extinct.
Even though they disappeared, they once formed gigantic empires and had great civilizations. Until now, the marks they left on this continent were still affecting how people lived. For example, they were the ones who created combat weapons.
A famous traveling poet had once said that all the famous G.o.d-tier items, G.o.d-tier combat weapons, and semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapons were all created by the dwarfs from the Mythical Era, and all the skills the blacksmiths on the continent nowadays used were all the inheritance from the dwarfs.
This just went to show how powerful the dwarfs were back in the days.
Fei didn't expect that this altar below the mountain of white bones was the creation of the dwarfs.
From the look of it, it seemed like this altar was crucial to the dwarfs, and it led to the so-called last ancestral place.

Fei looked back at the blue portal on the top of the altar.
After thinking for a bit, he summoned [The Throne of Chaos], sat on it, and entered the portal with a determined expression on his face.
[The Throne of Chaos] could break all the restrictions, and it could protect Fei so that he wouldn't get lost in the spatial and temporal portal. Even if there were dangers, Fei could escape.
With several other trump cards on him, Fei decided to explore this mysterious place.
After all, this was under the back mountain of Chambord. Fei had to make sure that this portal wasn't connected to a dangerous and deadly place. Otherwise, Chambord would be sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any moment, and Fei would have to move the city away.
After a series of buzzing noises and blurry visions, Fei appeared in another place.
The wind was lightly blowing, and the bright sun could be seen in the sky; he was no longer in an underground cave.
The danger he was antic.i.p.ating didn't appear. There were no warrior energy or magic energy surges around him, and there was no cranking metal gear that activated traps.
It just looked like an ordinary deserted and isolated place.
However, when Fei looked up, his expression got interesting.

Chapter 585: Last Ancestral Place (Part Two)
White bones! Seas of white bones!
All that Fei could see were white bones!
Fei was standing on an octangular altar that was identical to the one under the back mountain of Chambord, and behind him was the blue portal.
Fei had no idea how long these white bones had been here. The soil already buried a lot of them, and new gra.s.ses grew on top of them.
"This... Is this the last ancestral place of the dwarfs? It just looks like a ton of corpses were thrown here." Fei was confused.
"Could it be that the dwarfs have fallen, and their last ancestral place turned from a fancy palace to this as time pa.s.sed? But where did these skeletons and bones come from? Could it be that all the dwarfs on the continent came here and died off?"
Fei spread out his spirit energy and didn't sense any danger, so he slowly walked off the altar.
He started his detailed investigate.
Soon, he made discoveries.
This should be a valley that was entirely in isolation. To be exact, all four sides of this place were huge mountains, blocking people out. The mountains were also all tilting inward drastically, and it looked like they were about to collapse at any time. They blocked most of the sunlight that would otherwise enter this isolated valley that covered an area of a dozen square kilometers. The opening on the top was a circle that had a diameter of about 600 meters.
As Fei walked around, all he could see were white bones.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that most of the bones were thick. The joints were the same size as humans', but most of the bones were half the length. It was clear that these were the bones and skeletons of the dwarfs.
However, there were the bones and skeletons of other unknown creatures.
Some of the bones were so thin that it was shocking, and some were so big that it was unbelievable. There were also the skeletons of creatures that had wings and giants that were more than ten meters tall...
Fei felt like the dwarfs and these creatures were enemies.
As Fei wandered around, he saw too many skeletons that were mingled together since they were battling when they were alive. Most of them had armors on, and their weapons punctured their enemies' bodies while their enemies' weapons pierced through theirs. Also, some skeletons had more than a dozen spears stuck to them, displaying how terrifying the battle was.
Although it looked like this battle happened a long time ago, Fei could still sense the bloodiness and the cruelness of it.
Most of the skeletons were broken into pieces while a small number of them were complete.
The complete ones had the whitest bones, and there were still faint warrior energy and magic energy surges on them. These skeletons were all insanely powerful when they were alive, so bits of their auras were still around years later.
Fei randomly picked up a lightly-rusty blade, and he knocked it with his knuckle.
Tink!
As the crisp sound resonated in the area, the rust fell off, and the body of the blade turned s.h.i.+ny and bright.
"This... the weapon of the dwarves….. It is a combat weapon?!" Fei was shocked. He didn't expect that a random weapon he picked up was a combat weapon. After the rust fell off quickly, it felt like this blade was newly forged; time didn't leave a mark on it.
Fei lightly slashed his finger, and blood dripped down.
Fei's barbarian character had an insane body! Even Sun-Cla.s.s Lords' bodies couldn't be compared to his. Ordinary weapons couldn't even leave a white mark on his skin, but this blade created a wound on his finger easily!
"Such a sharp weapon! This must be a level 5 combat weapon at least! It is a treasure in the outside world! It must be a masterpiece of the dwarves! It could increase the combat ability of an ordinary warrior by five times!"
Fei instantly realized the value of this weapon. Then, as if he was shocked by lightning, he screamed out in excitement.
Chapter 586: The Dwarf King (Part One)
"Hahahaha! There are tens of thousands of weapons in this isolated valley! Almost every skeleton has a weapon in its hand... If they are all sharp like this blade and are combat weapons, then this place is literally a great weapon storage for Chambord! Hahaha, these weapons are much better than the weapons made from [Demons' Remains] and [Black Stone Essences]. Even Charsi couldn't forge out weapons on this level yet!"
Fei looked around at the skeletons in the area as well as the weapons that were stuck in their bones, and he got a little excited.
After placing this combat weapon into his storage s.p.a.ce, Fei's eyes landed on a sword that was two meters away from him.
He waved his hand, and an energy rushed out his body and pulled that sword into his hand.
Just like how the blade Fei first picked up, there were rusts and soil with mosses on the body of the sword. After experiencing the pa.s.sage of time, it gave a feel of vicissitude. Fei shook his wrist, and the rusts and soil fell off the sword, revealing the black body.
There was a long blood groove that was as thick as a thumb on the body of this sword, and many thin patterns were connected to it.
A fire-elemental energy surge soon appearing on it.
In addition, the tip of the sword looked like the split tongue of a snake. The tip separated into two, and it felt like the strange dark light s.h.i.+ning on the sword could devour all bright lights, making the sword look like a wicked beauty.
Fei lightly swung the sword, and a burning sword energy dashed out.
This was a fire-elemental level 5 combat weapon, not inferior to the wind-elemental level 5 combat weapon that he just got!
"Hahahahahaha! I'm too d.a.m.n lucky! There is such a valuable place connected to the underground cave of Chambord City!
"Could it be that I'm a real demi-G.o.d who was left on the continent by a powerful deity?" Fei thought after getting such a large amount of treasures.
After placing this sword into his storage s.p.a.ce, Fei waved his hand and pulled over a spear that was more than three meters long. He shook it with his hands and was about to laugh, but he suddenly felt like his hands were too light. Then, the smile froze on his face, and it was a little funny.
It turned out that this spear cracked and broke into pieces after Fei shook it. Right now, there was only a short stick that was less than 50 centimeters long in his hands.
"This..." Fei didn't know what was going on, so he paid close attention to this weapon.

Nueey
Although this spear was a combat weapon, it was at a lower level compared with the blade and the sword. After many years, its uniqueness as a combat weapon went away, and it was now even worse than an ordinary weapon. How could it withstand Fei's great strength?"
"Eh... It looks like not all weapons are well-kept. After a long time pa.s.sed by, the low-level combat weapons are turned into regular weapons, and the two combat weapons I just collected were probably high-level combat weapons before falling into level 5..."
Fei instantly thought through a lot of things, and it greatly disappointed the king who was just getting excited over the prospect of this place.
As he walked around and investigated a bit more, his hypothesis was proven.
There were about 4,000 weapons in this valley, but most of them were destroyed. Only less than 1,000 of them were not damaged, but most of them had either fallen into the level of ordinary weapons or completely rusted out.
Even the materials required for the lowest-leveled combat weapon were rare magic ores, and they had their spirits. They were hard to melt and forge, and the weapons made from them were overpowering. However, these weapons were still too weak against the pa.s.sage of time. Now, most of the weapons in this valley were useless.
As Fei walked around, he tried to pick out the complete combat weapons from the bones on the battleground.
After an hour, Fei finally got more than 20 combat weapons that still had their spirits. Most of them were below level 5, but there was a huge black sword that was a level 8 combat weapon, enough to increase the power of a warrior by eight times. If it were a level higher, it would be comparable to the [Sand of Earthly Anger] of Jax and the [Black Crystal Wand] of St. Germain, which were semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapons, A.K.A level 9 combat weapons.

Here's the Purpose of That Little Pocket in Women's Underwear
Nueey
Chapter 586: The Dwarf King (Part Two)
Fei pondered around quite slow; he was paying a lot more attention to the stuff around him.
After about 20 minutes of walking, there were more and more skeletons, and the ground was uplifted.
The deeper he got into the valley, the more bones, more soil, and more weeds there were.
It was clear that these skeletons were all powerful masters in the past. Even though their flesh rotted away as time pa.s.sed by, their bones were still as firm as iron, emitting sharp energy surges. Also, the bones couldn't be stained by dirt, corroded by the rain, and blown away by the wind. Even though weeds were growing in the area, these white skeletons looked bright and smooth as if they were brand-new, and they were much stronger than the [Demons' Remains]
Fei summoned [The Throne of Chaos], and he stood on it in mid-air; he didn't step on the skeletons of these masters.
He looked up and saw a silver stone monument that was about 20 meters tall and several hundred meters away. As many skeletons surrounded it, its look was as eye-catching as a huge reef on the surface of a sea.
Fei instantly moved to the stone monument, and he discovered that there were no bones ten meters around it.
There were 40 dwarfs tightly guarding this stone monument. It was clear that they were dwarf masters when they were alive.
With magic armors on, they circled this stone monument, and they guarded it like a defense wall. Even though their bodies were pierced through by many weapons, they didn't back off for a single step.
The magic armors on them were precious; they were still s.h.i.+ny and bright with faint magic energy surges on them.
These 40 dwarf masters were probably all Sun-Cla.s.s Elites when they were alive since Fei made a terrifying discovery. Even though a long time had pa.s.sed, the flesh on these 40 dwarfs' bodies didn't rot away. Through the armors, their facials features were still sharp, and their skin that was harder than G.o.dly iron sheets only contracted, sticking to the bones. They looked like desiccated corpses, and Fei wasn't sure if their internal organs dried up as well.
At the moment, the intense murderous spirits on them were sharp, making them feel like live beings.
Six-Star Warriors wouldn't be able to get within ten meters of them; these warriors would be turned into clouds of blood mist by the murderous spirits if they were too close.
Terrifying!
At this moment, Fei felt a great admiration toward these dwarfs. As he looked at these 40 powerful masters, he felt like the blood in his body got ignited. "Such a heroic presence! Even though they are dead, their corpses could still stand and block the terrifying enemies outside of the circle!" he thought.
"Such heroes! But what are they protecting?"
Fei looked behind these dwarf masters and saw an area that was bright red; it looked like this area was soaked by the blood of a G.o.d. The thick murderous spirit was intense here, killing all the gra.s.ses in the area.
Fei, who was equivalent to a top-tier Half Moon Elite and wearing a pair of level 6 battle boots from Diablo World, felt like iron needles were poking the bottom of his feet when he got off the throne and walked on this ground. He felt like the murderous spirit was destroying his feet.
Soon, Fei's attention was drawn by a figure who was beside the monument.
It was a dwarf who was half sitting and half lying on the stairs that led to the stone monument.
He was dead, but his body didn't change at all. His facial features were life-like, and it felt like he died only moments ago.
His figure was bigger than ordinary dwarfs, and he wasn't wearing a set of armor. Instead, he was wearing a rare blue robe, a silver silk belt, and a golden crown that had G.o.dly gems inlaid in it. There was a one-meter-tall golden double ax beside him, and he was holding onto a black book that was about 40 centimeters thick with one hand and pointing at the sky with the other. His expression looked angry as his eyes were wide open, looking as if he was condemning or questioning something.
