Chapter 1290: Chapter 1289: Long Ti No See
Resonance, a sort of resonance between new kings, allowed both parties a glimpse into each other’s ‘Throne Illusions.’
Rising from beneath the feet of the chap with the British style on the street was a [Dark Stone Throne].
The the of the throne leaned towards ‘Fingers.’
Carved out of a special dark stone were densely packed fingers, with the young man seemingly seated amongst an array of fingers.
Below the throne, thousands of bearers crowded.
Their heads wrapped in bandages, rendering their faces indiscernible, they assud a slavish posture, supporting the throne with their exposed spinal columns.
The reason they ‘carried’ the throne with their spines was because all their fingers had been severed.
[Perspective Interchange]
From the British chap’s point of view.
Beneath the enigmatic young man in the alley, a ‘Throne Illusion’ likewise rose.
Beneath Han Dong slowly ascended was a large tombstone, carved with strange symbols whose anings were incomprehensible, and though it lacked the form of a throne, it continuously exuded an unusual kingly aura.
“A throne embryo? Not yet crafted… A new king?”
The British chap imdiately vanished from the street, and the next mont appeared in the alley.
A year and more had passed.
Neither had anticipated that they would reunite in such a manner.
“Dumps, your throne is actually like this… It seems quite perfected already.”
Dumps didn’t respond directly to the question about his throne, instead, he examined Han Dong from head to toe with a surprised look.
“I had considered that you would gain a certain identity in London City, even being able to lay the groundwork for the Expeditionary Army to enter the city ahead of ti… But I never thought that you’d be able to fall behind the Door and reach the very bottom.
Even in the Demon World, it’s been a long ti since a new king individual managed to reach the bottom layer of the [Abyss of Truth] during the Open Door Period.
Does the Demon know about this?”
“Only you know.”
Hearing this, Dumps’ palm gently landed on Han Dong’s shoulder.
“Hmm… Keep this matter as secret as possible for now, and go public after you’ve built your myth.
Within the Demon Group, there is a group nad [Elent] after their rank in truth, they are the top demons directly recognized by the Upper Old Kings.
Your new king identity will be seen as a threat to them.”
“Elent?
I do have so friction with part of them, but I also have a good relationship with another part of the Elent.”
Hearing this, Dumps sprung out a sixth finger in shock.
“Ha!? You’ve already t this group of freaks… When did this happen?”
“It happened right here in London City, about several months ago there was a tentative invasion, and I collaborated with the Elent.
Among the Elent, there exist so extrely vile beings, but also those who are ‘understanding.’
Before long, ten of the Elent will co to London City.
I will introduce you to each other then.”
Dumps shook his head helplessly,
“I didn’t expect that in just over a year, you would have opened up such a gap… Let’s put aside the introductions for now. If my identity is recognized, it would be difficult for
to survive in their hands right now.
Let’s think about the gate opening first.
Nicholas, is it possible to arrange for the [Door of Fate] in London City soon?”
“I’ve already arranged for that, any knight can use the Door of Fate at any ti.”
“Good. I’ve entered the Door of Fate once in Minano, being labeled as a demon is sowhat inconvenient, but it’s not a great impact.
I’m now a Third Order Knight… If I can seize the chance to gain two talents in one stroke, I should also be able to open the gate smoothly.
We’ll talk about the details later, the Great Demon Leader is looking for
for a private matter, and you seem to be in a hurry to deal with so things too. Abe and the others are staying with
at Apartnt No. C-031, Blake Street, see you later.”
“Mhm.
“I’ve been feeling a bit congested lately, so I’ll need your help in a bit.”
“No problem.”
The sixth finger gave a gentle poke in the back, and the function of energy manipulation made Han Dong’s whole body feel refreshed.
“Dumps has made great progress during the expedition… At least his massage skills have improved greatly.
Yet, judging by his surprise just now, it seems that he is not only astonished by my becoming the new king but also by the form of my throne. I’ll ask him about it during the massage, and try to dig out so of his secrets as much as possible.”
…
A friendly eting concludes.
Han Dong arrived first at the important building of the Expeditionary Army – [Moving Sanctuary] as requested by the Great Demon Leader.
The Sanctuary has now fully rooted in London City.
Currently, with the help of Technology Sacred Aid, cathedrals are being rapidly constructed around The Sanctuary being the center.
A long queue has already ford at the entrance to The Sanctuary, with knights at various stages of pollution waiting to receive blessings and purification from the Holy Knights Group.
Han Dong, cloaked between the alleys, was about to sneak in through spatial ans when a light and warm palm rested on his shoulder.
“Co here, I have sothing very important to discuss with you privately.”
Han Dong turned to see a white-masked, holy woman standing behind him.
“Captain Olivia! Shouldn’t we talk inside The Sanctuary?”
“The Sanctuary is currently overcrowded, and going in to talk would take up space… Besides, it’s best not to reveal your identity, co with .”
Olivia imdiately took Han Dong to her residence in London City, a rather simple one-story building.
“Firstly, I want to thank you for your contribution to humanity.”
Likewise, Olivia, not minding the difference in status, bowed slightly in gratitude to Han Dong.
It’s worth noting that her identity is not just as a captain; she also represents the will of the Holy City Church and has deep connections with the Royal Family and the council.
Olivia has been appointed as the first Priest, the ‘jewel’ of the Holy City.
“Captain Olivia, you are being too polite; these are all things I ought to do.”
“Indeed, Mr. Black White has more insight than so in the church, and even more foresight than . I am relieved that when your identity was inadvertently revealed, the council made the right decision to accept you without hesitation.
Today, I want to talk to you mainly about the [Eastern City District].
Did you complete the modification work all by yourself? How much ti did it take you?”
“Well, other than , there are only Demons, and I was the only one who could do it… It took about a week, I guess.”
“A week? How did you manage that?”
The face beneath the white gauze shifted slightly; according to her estimation, isolating the pollution on a large scale in a city district would require at least a month of work.
“The properties of the Deep Sea Demon are quite special.
Although they also possess the trait of pollution, their ‘pollution’ leans more towards [Gentleness] and [Healing]. I used this to first cover the ‘darkness’ perating the streets and buildings with the deep sea.
I am proficient in the secret thods related to the deep sea, and combined with my own attributes, I then gradually removed the pollution within the deep sea.
Of course, this thod is not as thorough as Captain Olivia’s purification of the entire district, it also makes the streets a bit damp, and there will be so rotten sll coming from the deep sea.”
Staring at Han Dong’s serious face, explaining how he implented the modification work.
Olivia’s mind underwent a great change.
She was born in the church, and from a young age, she accepted the concept of the Demon’s corruption deeply rooted… In her worldview, any individual associated with Demons necessarily contained evil and filth and needed thorough purification, even erasure.
“You…”
Han Dong could probably guess so of Olivia’s thoughts and, taking advantage of the congested situation he had just seen in front of The Sanctuary, proposed:
“Sea water coverage can also be applied to individuals, if Captain Olivia feels safe, I am also willing to alleviate so of the burden on The Sanctuary.”
“Let’s give it a try.”
Olivia made a decision she would never have made back in the Holy City.
A Priest was actually using Demon thods to remove pollution – if the church knew about this, it would cause a great uproar… but this is the distant London City.
She wanted to see more on this young man.
