Hail the King

If Old Aryang brought this up a few days ago, Fei would have agreed to it and approved the plan.

The Strategist’s plan made sense. At the moment, Zenit had soldiers in Dual-Flags City and Death Ancient City, and Fei was a mighty warrior. The Zenit Empire was at an advantage, and it could quickly destroy the troops of Jax when Fairenton wasn’t around.

This was a perfect opportunity to gain a ton of military merits.

However, Fei had been to the level 36 region in the Mythical Palace and met Emperor Yassin and that ‘Royal Master of Jax.’ He felt the chemistry between them, and he felt like a huge secret was hidden behind what was going on.

The Zenit Empire and the Jax Empire didn’t have a simple hostile relationship, and the hidden forces that the royal family of Jax had were beyond the level of Spartax and Eindhoven.

When the war between Zenit and Jax was announced, Emperor Yassin went against all objections and chose Fei, who had no experience, to led [Wolf Teeth Legion] that was comprised of people from all sorts of affiliated kingdoms, which lacked high combat abilities. On the other side, Emperor Fuji of Jax chose Prince Fairenton, a prince who had never led troops, as the Head Commander. Perhaps there was a huge mystery hidden here.

Therefore, the war in the Jax Battle Zone was a lot more complicated compared with the wars in the Eindhoven Battle Zone and the Spartax Battle Zone.

Like a huge underwater swirl, it was waiting for the perfect opportunity to showcase itself.

The sharp intuition of the Nightmare Mode level 43 Barbarian told Fei that it wasn’t the best time to initiate the attack. At the moment, fighting was the dumbest option.

Therefore, he decided to wait and see.

Although they didn’t understand why the king made such a decision, the warriors of Chambord and Old Aryang stopped discussing and obeyed the order.

After they went away, Fei thought for a while before going into Diablo World.

……

It was raining.

After three hours, Fei finished helping Elena going through all the locations in the map, [Rogue Encampment], to kill monsters.

Elena’s strength increased drastically and was now on the Nightmare Mode level 17.

It was an elevation speed that most of the masters on the Azeroth Continent had to be envious about. She was already equivalent to a level 7 mid-tier New Moon Elite, and she was a few days away from becoming a Half Moon Elite.

However, since Elena was a Magic Archer who had high damage but low defense, Fei recommended her to balance everything out. One-third of the skills points were put into Paladin Skills such as [Prayer] that would help with healing and recovery.

Once Elena could leave Diablo World again, she would be able to go back to the real world and detect the natural laws. After going through the challenges posed by nature, she would become a real Moon-Class Elite.

After completing the first map in the Nightmare Mode with Elena, they didn’t go to [Lut Gholein]. Instead, they went to Akara and Cain’s Laboratory.

For a while now, the mysterious stone room that Fei discovered in the underground cave in Blood-Edge Mercenary Group’s Headquarter had become Akara and Cain’s magic laboratory.

This stone room that was created in the void by mysterious runes had strong stability. The runes on the walls would greatly suppress any magic energy or warrior energy that entered this room, making theses energies more concentrated and clearer; it was a lot easier for the two mad scientists to observe and study them. In addition, this place was well hidden; no one else knew where it was.

It was the perfect location for a laboratory.

“You damn kid is finally back! This time, you can finally tell us what happened, right? I’m been waiting……”

As soon as he saw Fei, Cain dropped what he was working on and hopped over, even though he might be a bit too old for vigorous activities like that. He was only one step away from grabbing Fei by the neck and shaking him.

Cain asked anxiously, “Tell us! Right now! What did you encounter in the Mythical Palace? Tell us how the [Worldstone] got purified in detail……”

With an emotionless expression, Akara stared at Fei viciously and said, “Don’t tell us that nothing happened. What existence could consume more than two-thirds of the energy stored in the [Worldstone]?”

Fei giggled.

He knew that he would be ‘interrogated’ by these two as soon as he showed up.

It was Elena’s first time being in this stone room, so Fei told her about how he discovered this place slowly by whispering into her ear. Then, as the two mad scientists stared at him fiercely, he told them about what happened in the core region in the Mythical Palace.

He focused on how he discovered the Sky Castle and used the Mythical Altar in the belly of the mountain to purify the [Worldstone].

He didn’t tell them about the battle between Emperor Yassin and others. To these two mad scientists, that portion of the story would be boring and a waste of time.

In their minds, the most important thing was to pursue magic knowledge and get close to the natural laws of the world. People like Emperor Yassin and Domenech were no different to dogs and cats to them.

Although this was Elena’s first time being here, she wasn’t interested in any of it. She didn’t walk and look around; instead, she stood behind Fei and listened to the story as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

“So that is what happened……”

After hearing what Fei said, Akara and Cain looked at each other and saw the shock on each other’s face.

“The [Worldstone] is the energy core that supported Diablo World, and it contained a vast amount of energy. Even if Diablo, an entity that was close to the level of god, consumed two-thirds of the energy in the [Worldstone], it would instantly explode. What is that stone pillar you mentioned? It requires that much energy to heal itself?” Cain sighed after hearing the story.

“Fei, can you summon that stone pillar from your body? Maybe we could discover something on it……” Akara said with excitement in her eyes. At the moment, she looked like a cat that couldn’t wait to eat some fish.

This expression of hers would appear whenever she chose a new research topic.

“I can give it a try.” Fei nodded.

He also wanted to figure out what that stone pillar was.

Although he wasn’t sensing anything wrong, the fact that he had a thick stone pillar inside of his body, which was out of his control, made him feel weird.

Fei closed his eyes, adjusted his spirit energy, and tried to summon it.

In the next moment, he saw an image of a huge stone pillar, that connected the heaven with the earth, in his head. Even though it was an item and not a living creature, the aura around it was dominating enough to scar gods and demons, and there was a ton of life energy on it.

This stone pillar shivered a little when Fei tried to summon it.

Then, it didn’t matter how hard Fei tried, he got no response.

After half a minute, Fei exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and sighed, “I can’t do it. That thing is dead! It doesn’t matter how hard I tried; there was no response.”

The two mad scientists were greatly disappointed.

From the looks on their faces, it felt like they had the urge of opening Fei’s stomach up if they were able to defeat him.

“However, you two could study this item first,” Fei said as he summoned the mysterious stone throne from his body.

It looked the same. It was ancient and was made from a material that was similar rough stones. It looked like it was made from silver, but it didn’t have that metal glare on it. It was about two meters tall, two meters wide, and two meters thick. It looked like the throne of an emperor, and there was a two-step stair on it.

When it floated in mid-air, there was no energy surge coming from it.

“What is it made from?” Cain instantly rushed over and started to caress it like a thirsty man when he had a hot woman in his arms. He sometimes knocked the throne and tried to estimate the density.

“From the color, it looks like it is made from mithril. Wait, the texture is a lot worse…… Star Mithril? No, the sound isn’t right…… Could it be Bright Godly Gold? But it doesn’t have any energy surge……”

“It is an unknown material……” Akara said and shook her head after a while of observation, “It is not metal, stone, and wood. It isn’t even made from the five basic elements in nature. It is hard to believe that such a material exists…… But what is its use? It shouldn’t be as simple as floating in mid-air.”

At this moment, Fei chimed in and said, “When I sat on this throne, I felt like I could travel through space easily. It could allow me to teleport myself, and its flying speed is fast too…… Of course, it does consume a lot of energy. If you pay attention, you will see two magic engravings on the inner side of the armrests……”
