Two o’clock in the afternoon.
The weather is clear.
It seems the further north you go, the cleaner the air becos, and even the clouds in the sky turn incredibly thin.
The sunlight pours down from the sky almost brightly.
But there isn’t much warmth; possibly because the sunlight is too bright, or maybe the sky is too blue, causing all the rays to appear as if they’ve turned blue.
They fall upon the city in front of Ethan and the others, emitting a darker blue light, very cold, like pure and solid ice.
This was Ethan’s first impression of Saint Kuanti.
A city as solid as ice.
Saint Kuanti isn’t large, possibly only a third of Wenster, perhaps even less.
It’s small enough to take in at a glance.
Despite being established for so many years, it has never really thrived.
Because it indeed lacks resources, the climate is too cold, and even after being transford by Saint Kuanti, this region remains bitterly cold.
Besides providing so polar specialties, it serves as a temporary haven for so ocean-going ships.
After all, it still has a decently sized haven.
After a simple rest from getting off the vehicle, the King of Wenster spoke again: "Before we go in, we need to first divide the teams, after all, I can’t ensure your safety at all tis, so team division action is necessary."
Upon hearing this, there were so murmurs within the group, but it was all understandable.
This was, after all, an adventure, not a comfortable outing.
Soon, the team division began.
Everyone was asked to report their code nas and the real nas they belong to.
Ethan naturally wouldn’t report his actual true na, and neither would Anya, so they both claid Destruction God’s true na, a thug.
This was evidently very deceptive.
Because George and Danny were misled imdiately.
They honestly reported their own strengths, Destruction God number two leader.
"Danny, who do you think that kid Ethan is?" George was still quietly observing the crowd, his code na was Jackal.
"Currently apart from us, there are three more in Destruction God, two are thugs, then the remaining one must be him."
Danny analyzed.
"What about later?"
"Follow him."
Once the true nas were reported, the King of Wenster selected three team leaders based on their strengths.
These three all possessed Level 3 true nas.
Ethan was ultimately assigned to the third team, naturally along with Anya, and Huoyan.
Their team leader was quite discontented about this.
Originally, he had been assigned a Level 1 true na holder and suddenly was given two more, already more than other teams.
Furthermore, Huoyan was an Alchemist, skilled in forging but not particularly in combat.
Equivalent to three stragglers.
At least, that’s how it seed to him.
But the King of Wenster said, Huoyan is Level 2, their team already has two Level 2, more than others.
He could only drop the matter.
With the team division completed, it was ti to distribute equipnt.
The King of Wenster was indeed practical, everything prepared thoroughly.
He provided nurous alchemical tools, mystical items, and weapons.
Alchemical tools were mainly bulletproof, a ring that could generate a bulletproof energy shield when activated ntally, but only usable three tis.
Mystical items were pendant-like iron amulets, reportedly venerating in the Sun God Sect’s chapel for a year, absorbing the solar power, capable of resisting mitic pollution.
Finally, firearms and signal flares, most people didn’t need them as everyone basically ca ard.
However, soone was still picking weapons, but ultimately muttered, "There’s no Wenster typewriter, thought I could try it."
Ethan hadn’t expected his created firearm to be this famous among true na holders.
Everything prepared, action started.
Before entering, the King of Wenster spoke one last ti: "Everyone, this Saint Kuanti incident, I’ve actually co for advance observation, it’s mitic pollution from an ancient relic, and it seems to be a second layer superpose, so our primary task is to find the entrance to the interlayer."
"Three teams search in three directions, if nothing is found, we’ll et at the central square before dark, any discoveries or dangers, send a signal flare, I’ll aid at any ti, also, team leaders take care of team mbers, as so may be participating for the first ti, good luck to all."
As the speech ended, there was already unease surging in the crowd.
But under the gaze of the King of Wenster, it seed there was no turning back.
Everyone could only move forward, stepping into the city as solid as ice.
And the King of Wenster, staring at the crowd for a while longer, then lifted his head to look at the sky, and finally, he looked at his hand, a vintage, elegant pocket watch, the hands pointing to two forty.
There were twenty minutes until three.
Three o’clock.
Ethan and the others took the furthest left route, he also heard those uneasy voices.
Especially regarding — second layer superpose.
"Second layer superpose... as the na implies, on the existing spatial base, there’s an additional layer, often caused by mitic object mutation, according to the King’s statent, this ti it’s ancient relic mitic pollution, then the interlayer is likely a historical layer, historical layers often have ancient people, not insignificantly dangerous, in Kingdom Defense Bureau terms, could be rated as B-level pollution."
Huoyan could sense the atmosphere, proactively explaining to Ethan.
And upon hearing B-level pollution, another Level 1 true na holder in the team let out a frightened soft cry.
He’s likely a Judge true na Level 1 law enforcer, possibly acquainted with Kingdom Defense Bureau, so aware of B-level significance.
"All right, let’s not be verbose, what of B-level, according to Kingdom Defense Bureau standards, B-level rits a Level 4 true na holder to preside, which isn’t much different from our setup this ti, we have even more people, so there’s nothing to fear, just don’t lag behind us."
Said by their team leader, a Solar true na Level 3 Sun Hymn Singer, code na Sunlight, dissatisfied with team allocation from the start, now joining two Level 2, started targeting Ethan and his group.
"I’m just informing the newcors, after all, we’ll need to work together soon, right? Let’s go then, start searching."
Huoyan, seeing the tense atmosphere, quickly tried to diate.
Sunlight gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.
The group headed deeper into the city.
Ti kept moving forward.
The originally bright sunlight above seed to start changing color.
