Hail the King Chapter 601: Mystery

After Fei gave them a tour of the Sky Castle, people like Cech and Drogba finally familiarized themselves with this city and slowly woke up from the huge shock. Then, they each took a side palace that was around the Supreme King’s Palace in the summit of the mysterious silver mountain in the center of the city. As they guarded and protected the Supreme King’s Palace, they started their new cultivation journey.
The Supreme King’s Palace was Fei’s residence.
At the moment, the 12 maids, as well as more than ten servants, started their work. Fei took out all the items from his storage space, and he asked them to place everything in accordance to how the old King’s Palace was decorated. Especially for the items that Angela liked, they were hung up at critical locations in the new palace, almost recreating the same atmosphere and surroundings.
The Sky Castle had been around for numerous years.
There were all kinds of facilities and structures in the city, and there were various pieces of furniture in the palace.
Stone chairs, stone tables, beds, lights, kitchen, wine cellar, storage rooms, bread rooms…… Everything and everywhere was spotless and looked brand-new. Since no one had lived in this place for thousands of years, it felt a little chilly and lifeless when Fei first came. Now, after the maids and servants busied themselves and decorated all the rooms, the atmosphere was a lot more friendly and welcoming.
All these maids and servants were loyal citizens of Chambord whom Brook personally selected, and they admire Fei to a degree where they were almost worshipping the king. Therefore, Fei didn’t need to worry about the secret around the Sky Castle getting out.
After drawing out an area in the city that they were free to wander around, Fei let them do whatever they wished with their free time.
Then, he returned to the Supreme King’s Palace and prepared to start training his spirit energy.
[The Throne of Chaos] was now placed back at its original location in the main palace, [Godly King Palace].
Water was flowing inside the square-shaped pond in front of the throne, and this pond was constructed using that mysterious silver stone-like material. The white lotus-like plant looked livelier than half a month ago, and there were now six blossoming seven-colored exotic flowers on it. As the petals lightly shivered, they released a faint fragrance. When Fei took a deep breath, he felt so good that he thought he was in heaven.
The king took a closer look at this mystic lotus in front of him, and he felt like it was somehow deeply connected to the Sky Castle. As it went from a little green bud to having six blossoming flowers, the Sky Castle also gradually woke up with it.
However, Fei wasn’t able to figure out the deeper and more profound mysteries in the city yet.
As the flowers blossomed, the entire [Godly King Palace] was filled with its fragrance. However, not a single trace of fragrance leaked outside the palace.
Fei couldn’t figure out why, so he decided not to think about it anymore. Since he had a unique connection to the Sky Castle, he was sure that there was no danger in this city. Therefore, he returned to [The Throne of Chaos] and started to train his spirit energy.
Like a playful child, Little Racoon was sucking in the fragrance greedily. Then, it rolled its eyes around as if it discovered something interesting, and it jumped into the pond to play. It rolled around in the water and bathed, having a ton of fun on its own.
In the sky above the [Godly King Palace], the three little dragons were flying around under Blacky’s lead. They were having fun as well, and it felt like they were in their natural habitat.
The night soon arrived.
Fei opened his eyes after four hours and pondered, “The speed of increase in my spirit energy doubled when I’m in this [Godly King Palace]? Could it be contributed to this fragrance? I can concentrate a lot better…”
Fei nodded his head happily.
The mysteries around the Sky Castle was slowly revealing themselves to Fei bit by bit.
From what Fei knew about this city so far, he realized that this legendary flying castle lived up to its name. No wonder Continental Martial Saint, Maradona, only entered this city once and became the No.1 Master in this world and created a legend of his own.
After the training, Fei spread out his spirit energy into the city.
A virtual Sky Castle was constructed in his mind, and he was able to sense the maids, servants, and the masters of Chambord who were working hard on their cultivations. He nodded and launched [The Throne of Chaos] into the air.
After giving it some thought, he decided to fly around the area that was within 1,000 kilometers of Five Sword Sky Mountains.
Just like what he anticipated, he discovered dashes of barbaric, murderous, and powerful auras of supreme king-level demons beasts in the depth of the primitive forests and mountains.
When he went more than 1,000 kilometers into the mountains, the auras of those demon beasts could be felt kilometers away in the sky, and some of them were comparable to Sun-Class Lords! If Fei didn’t have [The Throne of Chaos] that could travel through space easily, he wouldn’t dare to go so close to these powerful creatures.
After getting a bit deeper, Fei didn’t dare to continue further even though he had his throne.
His sharp barbarian senses told him that there were terrifying creatures deeper in, and the dangerous auras irritated Fei’s skin like lethal iron spikes, making him uncomfortable.
He didn’t need to take that much risk, so he turned around and went back.
According to the geography of the Azeroth Continent, the Zenit Empire was the most northern empire, and the Chambord Kingdom was an affiliated kingdom of Zenit that was the closest to the edge of land that humans never step a foot on. Therefore, no one knew what kinds of creatures were living in the back mountains and forests of Chambord that were to the north.
Didn’t matter if it were official historical documentation or myth and legends, there was no record of people traveling through the mountains and forests located to the most northern edge.
It was heard that too many powerful entities lived in the mountains and forests, and there were way too many dangerous locations where birds that were flying by would be turned into corpses and humans who were passed would be turned into skeletons.
This place was heaven for advanced demon beasts and hell for humans.
However, when Fei chatted with Martial Saint Krasic of Zenit when the latter was alive, he was told of a myth. Some rumors said that after the demons got defeated by the gods in the Mythical Era, demons’ affiliated clans and species such as elves, dwarfs, goblins, and giants were all forced to take the dangerous path. Under the protection of the most powerful masters in their tribes and after suffering great losses, these groups finally got through the mountains and forests at the most northern part of the land and continued their races there.
Of course, there were people saying that these races and species all died in the mountains and forests in the north, and their corpses were eaten up by demon beasts and were no longer traceable.
One day ago, Fei discovered the last ancestral place of the dwarfs and got a completely new understanding of history after reading the bloody diary of the emperor of the dwarfs, Gerard Bill. He started to pay more attention to the rumors and myths on the continent, and he felt like what Krasic told him months ago suddenly became important.
That was why the king wanted to try to get through these mountains and forests on his throne.
However, now it seemed like the potential danger associated with this mission was beyond his expectation, and it was better to do it another time.
Even though Fei held himself in control, the curiosity he had grew and expanded. He was sure that there was a gigantic secret hiding on the other side of these mountains and forests.
When he returned from his exploration, it was already the dawn of the next day.
Fei didn’t go back to the Sky Castle. Instead, he went back to Chambord City.
He didn’t notify anyone, but he also didn’t try to hide his aura. The target location of his trip was the church in Chambord.
He knew that there was a master hidden in the church, and this person didn’t leave Chambord for some reason. Fei didn’t bother this person since the latter didn’t have any hostile intents, but he had to confront this person now since his wedding was in less than 15 days; he had to clear all uncertainties and make sure that nothing uncontrollable would take place.
……
-In the secret room in the basement of the church-
A master who was cultivating suddenly opened his eyes, and the shock and fear couldn’t be hidden on his face.
