Hail the King

After Fei arranged everything for Robbin and his father, it was already night time. The stars in the dark sky were like bright flowers.

After the first day of the kingdom ranking matches, only Inzagi lost his battle. All seven others advanced, and it was a good news. According to Chambord’s tradition, there would be a celebration.

Soon, campfires were lit up, and people started to sing and dance. The women from the [Golden Cave] appeared again.

This celebration attracted a lot of people’s attention. A lot of warriors and soldiers of other kingdoms stood outside of Chambord’s campsite and watched through the fence.

Elder Princess Tanasha made a high-profile appearance at the celebration with her bodyguard Ziene.

[Zenit’s Goddess of Intelligence] sat beside Angela and intimately chatted with both the king and the queen of Chambord. This scene beside the campfire was clearly witnessed by everyone. Through these people, the Elder Princess would get the message passed to “that person”.

After the celebration party was over, the Elder Princess still didn’t leave. Surprisingly, she chose to stay at Chambord’s campsite for the night.

Fei smiled as he shook his head.

It was already late at night, and even breathing would result in white “fogs”. People who were walking outside the warm tents would get frost on their hairs and beards. It was so cold that Fei felt like he was in the ice age.

This was Fei’s first winter on Azeroth Continent.

After he used his aura to heal Robbin’s father again, he switched to Assassin Mode and left Chambord’s campsite. He disappeared from the camp area and entered Moro Mountains.

Moro Mountains was completely white in the winter. Snow was on every tree branch, and all the trees looked like they were made from crystals. Under the moonlight, this crystalized forest felt like it should only exist in the legends if the terrifying roars of the demon beasts were muted.

The Fist Spiritual Spatial Seals of the two master warriors were still flowing around on the battlefield, but they were a lot weaker than half a month ago. Fei easily got passed the surrounding magic arrays and saw the mysterious man standing beside the Fist Spiritual Spatial Seals.

The man was standing as straight as a spear, and his brown robe was fluttering in the wind loudly.

The mysterious man’s eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a strange sensation looming around him. Fei couldn’t understand it; it was lonely, above-all, yet intimate. This mysterious man had a special character that made Fei completely trust him.

Fei was overjoyed when he saw the man.

The mysterious man didn’t say anything after Fei murmured that he wanted to see the scroll of [Dragon Fist] last night.

“Did he actually bring the scroll of [Dragon Fist]?” Fei thought to himself. Even just the thought of viewing the number one technique among hundreds of empires made Fei excited. Although his power was from Diablo World, the chance of checking out such a technique was still very rare.

Whoosh!

The mysterious man flicked his wrist after seeing Fei, and a green light dashed at Fei. Fei lifted his hand and grabbed onto thin booklet. The texture was soft yet sturdy; it was really magical.

Fei couldn’t believe it!

“Could it be that this mysterious man actually brought the scroll of [Dragon Fist]?”

As Fei was about to open up the booklet, the mysterious man waved his hand and stopped Fei. After he carefully observed Fei, he slowly said: “Remember, humans harness power and energy in order to protect and guard the people and things that they love.”

Before Fei could react, the man continued: “I have nothing to teach you anymore.”

After he said that, a light whizzing sounded as a green light flashed by.

The man disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

This time, Fei caught a little of the mysterious man’s trace. The man was like a green meteor. The speed of the man was so fast that Fei felt like he was dreaming. In just a split second, the mysterious man almost already disappeared from the horizon.

“Left directly?”

Fei fell into a moment of silence. He understood what the man had said. Since there was nothing that the man can teach Fei, he won’t be meeting up with Fei here every night anymore. This strange yet valuable relationship Fei and this man had ended here.

Fei didn’t expect this man to still hide his identity at the last second.

Fei was planning to ask the man who he was, but he didn’t expect this mysterious man to say his farewells so soon and so suddenly. Although Fei only encountered this man less than a month ago, this man played a special role; he was like Fei’s father and teacher.

This mysterious man saved Fei from that mysterious assassin, and he tried his best to teach and instruct Fei these days. It was obvious that this man left so suddenly to avoid getting asked by Fei who he was.

“Brush clothes after things are done, hide away the identity and associated fame.” (Tried my best to translate this. Might have butchered it…)

This was a part of a poem written by a famous ancient poet in Fei’s previous life, and it suddenly appeared in Fei’s head because it was so relatable. He felt a little sad knowing that he won’t see the mysterious man again.

After he waited a bit longer and was sure that the man wasn’t going to return, Fei looked back at the booklet in his hand. [Dragon Fist] was written on the title page.

Fei was really excited.

“This man really brought me the scroll of [Dragon Fist]?

This was unbelievable!

“Who is this man? He is able to take out the scroll of [Dragon Fist]? Even the princes of Zenit hadn’t seen it yet. He is just too mysterious…… Unless that man is Emperor Yassin himself…… there are no other explanations!”

Fei was shocked by his own thoughts.

It was impossible, but it made some sense. That seemed to be the only explanation for all the questions in Fei’s head.

“But why would Emperor Yassin do this for me? From the rumors, the emperor himself should be really ill right now. He shouldn’t be able to get off his bed, but this mysterious man is still really powerful and didn’t look ill at all!”

Fei thought about it a bit more, and he couldn’t tie up all the loose ends in his head. He stopped thinking and opened the booklet. He wanted to see what was so special about this [Dragon Fist]. He wanted to know why this was the number one technique among hundreds of empires.

There weren’t any words on the first page; there was only the drawing of mountains.

The mountains were so tall that they were all in the clouds. The drawer of the mountains only used a few lines, but the firmness and the denseness of the mountains were illustrated perfectly. Although the mountains felt like swords to Fei, he wasn’t able to get any hints about [Dragon Fist].

After looking at the mountains for a while, he flipped to the next page.

Fei was fine before reading the second page, but he spat out a mouthful of drools and almost fell to the ground after reading it.

There was only one line on the second page –

“Greedy little one, you have been tricked. I hadn’t even seen the scroll of [Dragon Fist].”

……

……

After Fei returned to Chambord’s campsite, he still couldn’t believe what had happened. The mysterious man who was always serious and cold joked with him?

Although he didn’t get to see the famous scroll of [Dragon Fist], he was still a little happy. The words “Greedy little one” gave off a very intimate feeling, and Fei was happy that the mysterious man showed a sliver of his emotion.

Perhaps Fei was able to discover who that man was using the network of Paris or the Elder Princess since the man was so powerful, but he didn’t want to do it. Since the mysterious man didn’t want him to know about his identity temporarily, Fei believed that there were reasons behind it. Otherwise, the mysterious man won’t ask him to meet him in Moro Mountains at night; there was no way that anyone would show up at that location at that time.

The reason why Fei believed it was temporary was that Fei had a strange feeling that they would meet again.

The time of that meeting won’t be too long from now.

When Fei returned to Chambord’s campsite, Torres walked up and reported that the Elder Princess had come to find Fei several times. After she was unsuccessful, she chatted with Angela in the central tent and fell asleep there.

Ziene who was standing in front of the central tent looked a little troubled. Behind her, there were 20 warriors who were all powerful. Since the Elder Princess was in the king’s tent, they couldn’t allow Fei to enter. Although it was a little weird for them to stop Fei since the Elder Princess was the one who took Fei’s bedroom, they couldn’t let Fei in and allow him to stay with the princess of Zenit for the night!

After seeing Fei’s appearance, Tanasha’s guards all got a little nervous.

They all knew about Fei’s dominating character. If the king wanted to enter his own tent, they couldn’t stop him even though they were powerful warriors and Ziene was even on a higher level.

However, they didn’t expect Fei to smile and nod at Ziene before walking into a small tent that was close to the gate of the campsite.

“The ruthless king in the rumors is so easy to talk to?” The guards were all surprised as they watched Fei enter the small tent.

Since the Gulo Kingdom didn’t come to Fei to question him about [Mad Hidden] Bowyer’s death during the daytime, Fei made sure that all of Chambord soldiers were paying extra attention at night when patrolling around.

Afterward, he opened up a portal and entered Diablo World to start another leveling up journey.
