Chapter 911: Chapter 330: The Biggest Drear
The Kingdom’s Saintess arrived like a sudden storm, yet left without leaving a trace, not even a cloud, but she left Alien Machinery City greatly shaken and changed.
Once people began to react, the first to strike was, naturally, voices criticizing her.
Without a doubt, the Kingdom’s Saintess is the sinner who stole the core and destroyed the high tower—
But even in the most chaotic bar of the Lower City District, those drunks who usually dared to point fingers at the City Lord Mansion, when talking about the Kingdom’s Saintess, rely drank in silence, without uttering nonsense.
One person—with just one punch, even while far away in the Kingdom, caused the city’s defense system, empowered by the magic of all, to collapse.
That miraculous power was not only left on the Core Tower but also imprinted on the heart of every citizen of the Alien Machinery City.
Thus, criticism gradually gave way to understanding, and following understanding, ca many voices of praise:
“The Saintess exhibited strength without harming the innocent, this is benevolence!”
“The Saintess not only spared the innocent but instructed the Knowledge Hunters to aid them, this is righteousness!”
“The Saintess made a declaration before exhibiting her strength, this is courtesy!”
“The Saintess saw through Alien Machinery City’s plight imdiately upon arrival, this is wisdom!”
“The Saintess said she would take the core, and she did, this is trust!”
“Oh oh! Lady Saintess—”
Though this fervent trend seed initially to be instigated by the Bishop from the Kingdom, there is no denying that the citizens indeed didn’t oppose such statents.
If placed a week ago, pulling a random citizen from the streets and telling them “soone destroyed the Core Tower yet is highly revered,” would probably only earn you a roll of eyes and a comnt about watching too much imrsive Demon Shadow stupidity.
But now in Alien Machinery City, indeed, a faith and worship of the Saintess are rising.
Under the Saintess’s overwhelming intimidation, the rebellious Intelligent chanisms lifted the blockade over the city, the Kingdom’s aid soon arrived, the circulation of goods resud, and the rationing and curfews were lifted, allowing the city to rejuvenate.
As the saying goes, it takes losing sothing to know its worth, the return of peace left even the angriest citizens speechless in refusal.
However, on another front, with the Saintess’s departure and the reopening of Alien Machinery City, more rumors began circulating between the dark alleys and high towers.
—The Golden House, even desired by dragons.
That mansion where the Kingdom’s ambassador resides is unbeknownst to when it was given such a na.
The Alien Machinery core was taken by the Saintess, completely erased of its imprint. Now, the City Lord cannot awaken it, and the chanical Empress cannot perceive it, leaving the core entirely ownerless.
And according to rumors, when the core received that punch from the Saintess, due to its connection with the whole city’s magic power circuit, a lot of information was also compressed into it by the Saintess’s Iron Fist.
Though these are rumors without basis that cannot be verified, they nonetheless spread quickly, becoming an accepted topic in street talk.
—If only one could steal the current Alien Machinery core, a new Alien Machinery City could be built.
In that small Ambassador’s Mansion, there’s a wealth comparable to the entire Alien Machinery City.
Though the mansion is protected by the Saintess’s Golden Law and is not to be desecrated, and none dare invade it openly, that protection alone cannot quell the restlessness in people’s hearts.
After all, the Alien Machinery core itself is rely an object, one that only requires a single person to easily carry away…
Even with multiple legendary figures stationed, the Saintess-less mansion is not enough to deter pursuit.
During the Kingdom’s gap before fully controlling the affairs of Alien Machinery City, surrounding forces, underground organizations, and supposedly neutral trade associations all began to move and secretly grow active.
If one could steal the core—

Holy City, next morning.
What woke the Hero from slumber wasn’t the sunlight outside the window or the birds singing on the branches, but a gentle yet noticeable knock on the door.
“Sleeping Beauty, finally awake?”
“Huh…?”
The Hero rubbed his eyes and waved his hand, a breeze pushing open the door, where stood the Black Dream Key in a plain nun’s robe.
Unlike two years ago when her eyes seed trapped in a nightmare swamp, the Black Dream Key now, even with so gloom in her eyes, had a noticeably more vibrant complexion with a hint of laziness.
It’s said that her current life is even more leisurely than a retired elder’s, due to the Dream Realm, she doesn’t even have to leave her door, spending every day doing magic research in her room.
“Why are you here?” The Hero sat up from the bed, asking curiously.
“If I had nothing to do, I wouldn’t be here either, Lady Saintess.” The Black Dream Key yawned, but her expression grew a bit more serious.
“There’s been activity with the Nightmares side, shortly after you returned from Alien Machinery City. However, due to the distance, I can’t perceive the specific situation, nor can I confirm if it’s related to you.
“Therefore, I haven’t even told the old man about this, since there’s no evidence, I’m just giving you a heads-up.”
After speaking, she didn’t even step inside, directly turning to leave.
