GDK 583: I’m Back!
After a bright flash of light, the scene around them transford.
Although he tried to be ntally prepared, nonetheless, when Han Shuo saw the surrounding which he knew so well, he couldn’t suppress the excitent in his heart. At once, he howled with laughter at the top of his lungs and shouted, “I’m back!”
Right underneath his feet was an interplanar transportation matrix. To the sides were several storerooms. Outside the wide open doors was a sky that stayed murky dark all throughout the year. The air was filled with an intense elent of death, the ground covered in bones as white as snow.
There’s no doubt about it, this is the Cetery of Death!
Sanguis, Jasper, Hemanna, and Sylph, walked down from the interplanar transportation matrix. They marveled and glanced all around curiously.
“Master, this is your howorld?” Sanguis asked as he looked at the floor of bones while tasting the scent in the air.
“Yep. It’s just that this place is completely enveloped inside a boundary. The true appearance of this world lies outside of the boundary,” Han Shuo replied. After weighing over in his mind, he instructed, “I have no idea how long I have been away from this world. I need to find out the current situation of Profound Continent. The few of you stay in here for the ti being. I will co back for you all when I have familiarized myself with this place.”
The few did not have any complaint about Han Shuo’s words. They had long noticed that Han Shuo was excited and knew that he desperately wanted to understand the changes after he left.
After informing Jasper and the others about the things they needed to pay attention to, Han Shuo had them step away from the interplanar transportation matrix. He returned to the center of the transportation matrix and activated it in short-range mode. With a flash of light, Han Shuo vanished from the Cetery of Death and arrived at the secret underground chamber excavated by earth elite zombie deep below the City Lord’s manor at Brettel City.
Han Shuo stepped out from the chamber and expanded his consciousness. The full scene of the entire Brettel City projected into his mind.
Although Han Shuo hadn’t a clue how long he had been away, based on his preliminary observation, compared to the ti when he left, Brettel City had obviously grown even more prosperous and wealthy.
With one thought, Han Shuo suddenly appeared in the eting hall at the center of the City Lord’s manor.
Dorcas, Jack, Dick, Faulke, Helen Tina and others were in the middle of a heated discussion inside the eting hall when a streak of strange light suddenly flashed through. A majestic figure then materialized at the center of the eting hall.
These leadership figures of Brettel City were startled and completely dumbfounded. Each and every one of those people stared at Han Shuo standing in the middle of the room with disbelief. The heated sounds of discussion abruptly halted.
“An assassin! Seize him!” a young guard standing near the doorway suddenly shrieked as he courageously charged at Han Shuo.
Two shadows suddenly shot out of nowhere. They were none other than Elizabeth and Bollands. The two had been concealing themselves all that while. When they sensed a mighty energy was coming from the eting hall, they imdiately flew out from hiding and ferociously charged at Han Shuo.
However, halfway into their assault, they clearly recognized who the ‘assassin’ was and pulled hard on their brakes. They kowtowed before Han Shuo emotionally. For a mont, Han Shuo did not know what to say as he watched the two tremble to their toes.
When that guard, who Han Shuo didn’t recognize, saw that both Elizabeth and Bollands suddenly kneel before Han Shuo, he thought they had been killed. His heart quivered. However, even when he knew that he would most likely die, he did not withdraw but continued to race towards Han Shuo with his sword that shone with silvery light.
“Stop!” Suddenly, all the leaders of Brettel City inside the hall ca to their senses and simultaneously shouted.
This guard was jolted by their sudden command. Before he could even react, Elizabeth’s lightning fast hands had seized him and pushed him down to his knees before Han Shuo together.
“Are you blind or sothing? How dare you attack the City Lord? Don’t wanna live anymore?” Elizabeth glared and chided this guard.
The guard, however, seed to have his brain short-circuited for a mont. At a loss, he said, “The City Lord? I thought that Brettel City didn’t have a City Lord?” But when he saw the revere showing in Elizabeth and Bollands’ eyes, as though having been struck by a sudden recollection, his body quivered. His voice slightly trembling, he pleaded, “Please forgive , my Lord! Please forgive , my Lord!”
Han Shuo waved his hand without speaking. He scanned each and every one of those inside the eting hall, starting from Jack and ending with Faulke. He discovered that there indeed had been so changes to these people, but not too much.
Jack the big fatty now wore a moustache. He looked much more mature than before, with the deanor of a person occupying high position naturally emanating from him. Dorcas still looked as grave and solemn as ever. The unswerving determination written across his face showed the long and nurous hardships he endured. Helen Tina still looked gorgeous and charming. She gazed at Han Shuo with fiery eyes as though wanting to lt him...
After flicking through each of them, Han Shuo heaved a sigh of relief to know that he hadn’t left for too long a ti.
Truth be told, ever since returning to Profound Continent, Han Shuo had been rather afraid. Back then in the space-ti discontinuum zone, Han Shuo felt as though space-ti was in disarray and he had no sense of the passing of ti. In addition, he was deeply afraid that ti in the Abyss realm would run much slower than on Profound Continent.
If there was a great discrepancy in the speed of ti between the two material planes, there was a possibility that when he returned to Profound Continent, he would find all those people that he knew had died of old age. That would have dealt him an unimaginable blow.
Based on the appearances of these people, although there were so changes, it appeared that not too much ti had passed. His heart was genuinely relieved.
“How long have I been gone?” Han Shuo took the lead to talk as the party looked at him emotionally and excitedly.
“Five years! Yet another five years! You joker, where in the world have you been?!” Jack shrieked. His plump body ran towards Han Shuo before fiercely beating Han Shuo’s chest with his fists. He seed to be expressing his excitent of eting Han Shuo again after such a long ti in this way.
Although the others were also incredibly emotional, they rely conveyed it through their eyes and expressions. They did not vent their feelings physically as Jack did. After all, Jack and Han Shuo had known each other all the way back since Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. Their relationship was much deeper and more special compared to the rest.
Helen Tina, this beautiful magus who already considered herself as Han Shuo’s woman, although she too was close with Han Shuo, she was too shy to throw herself into Han Shuo’s embrace before the crowd. Therefore, she only expressed her emotions to Han Shuo with her bright, fiery eyes.
“Five years, luckily it’s just five years. Haha,” Han Shuo said laughingly as he let Jack hamred his chest.
“‘Just five years?’ How many five years are there in a lifeti? You scoundrel, how could you throw this big responsibility to us, while you yourself couldn’t be less bothered and went missing – several years at that! How outrageous!” After a short while, Jack had no choice but to abandon venting his emotions by pounding on Han Shuo as his chubby hands were starting to ache. He grumbled while glaring fiercely at Han Shuo.
Suddenly, Han Shuo noticed that two figures were flying over from a distance at high speeds.
The two figures arrived at the eting hall in just a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, they were the Emperor of the Flas and Strathol the old monster. Upon seeing Han Shuo, the two appeared more astonished than Han Shuo. Both of them gazed at Han Shuo in disbelief.
“I thought you were killed by that Soul Race tribal king?” Han Shuo and Strathol said the sa words at the sa ti while staring at each other. Soon after, they both broke into laughter.
“Where is my son? Where have you put my son?” the Emperor of the Flas started asking Han Shuo using that shrewish voice of hers.
Han Shuo was stunned. He forced a smile, looked at the no-nonsense Emperor of the Flas and the handso-looking Strathol, and asked, “How co the two of you are here? What happened after I left?”
“It’s a long story,” Strathol the old monster said smilingly. He glanced at the crowd gathered in the eting hall before continuing, “Three years ago, a war that spanned throughout the whole of Profound Continent broke out. So very interesting things happened during these few years. With certain forces behind the scenes fanning the flas, the entire continent is now engulfed in war. It’s hard to explain it all succinctly.”
“Oi, youngster, hurry and tell , where is my son?” the Emperor of the Flas, concerned about fire elite zombie, noisily shouted again.
Given the fact that this brutish Emperor of the Flas was inside Brettel City, Han Shuo deduced that she must have provided ample assistance to Brettel City. Five years earlier, the Emperor of the Flas was a demigod existence. Five years after, nothing had changed. However, this wouldn’t be the sa case for fire elite zombie who was currently digesting the fire elent energy of a lowgod. Once he successfully digested Cecrops’ energy, his strength would surely exceed that of the fifth-stage Emperor of the Flas.
“He is cultivating. It will take so ti before he can see you,” after a short pause, Han Shuo looked at this shrewish middle-aged woman in all smiles and continued, “The next ti you et him, you will see just how much he has transford. It will surely be beyond your imagination!”
“Hmph! Deliberately mystifying. I’m going back first. Take good care of that kid for .” The Emperor of the Flas rushed to the eting hall to protect these leadership figures. When she saw that the intruder was Han Shuo, she lost her interest and left at high speed after finishing those words.
From Elizabeth and Bollands’ performance as well as the arrival of Strathol and the Emperor of the Flas, seemingly guarding against sothing, Han Shuo knew that Brettel City probably wasn’t as secure and steady as he imagined.
“Strathol, tell about the current situation,” Han Shuo creased his brows and asked the old monster.
