Hail the King

Chapter 950: Quick Passage of Time (Part One)

-Inside the underground treasure-keeping palace of Anji-

Fei was still murmuring in displeasure, but he had to put a smile on his face.

With high concentration, the king had to control his Anti-Mage Realm and listen to the orders from Cain and Akara. With them saying things like “I need magic energy here” and “I don’t need any magic energy there”, Fei had to alter his realm and create the best experiment environment for these two mad magic scientists. He was like the lowest-leveled assistant in the lab, and he had to do all the chores that others didn’t want to.

Three hours ago, Fei was surprised that he didn’t get scolded by the two seniors when he returned to the Royal Palace. Instead, he was captured as a temporary worker, and he had to create magic energy vacuums with his Anti-Mage Realm, making the necessary environment for the tests and experiments.

“Hehe, don’t look so unwilling,” Cain said with a dirty smile, “This isn’t just beneficial for our experiments; it can also help you get more proficient with the control of your realm; it is like killing two birds with one stone!”

Fei had to admit this.

After three hours of ‘training’, he could now smoothly control his realm. He could easily alter the size of the realm from one kilometer around him to the size of a palm. This control method was something that the king had never thought of before. Perhaps this way of controlling realms would help him in unexpected ways during battle.

With the help of Fei’s Anti-Mage Realm, a lot of theories of the [Mad Scientists Laboratory] could be boldly tested. These theories were perfect on paper, but they couldn’t be experimented since they couldn’t create a pure magic energy vacuum in the real world. The research of the two mad magic scientists achieved leap-like results.

“Hahaha! It is done!”

Akara ignored her image and laughed hysterically; she was also dancing with a component of the mystical gold armor in her hand.

“I finally made it! Haha! I finally figured out what is happening. With the reverse Thomas rectangle magic array as the base, we can add 135 minuscule leaf-shaped magic paths. Then, with blood ritual of the soul magic… This is where that streak of life energy came from…”

“You mean using the blood ritual of soul magic to inject tiny bits of life energy. Ah! I understand it now as well! The godly rune named Kyle has a similar design in its magic paths. However, using 135 leaf-shaped magic paths isn’t good; it has limited capacity. If we use 720 vein-shaped hook magic paths and place them into a rectangle array in reverse… Hahaha! This is the most perfect modification that I have made! Hahaha!”

It seemed like they made a big breakthrough; Cain and Akara fell into a state of elation and joy.

Standing on the side, Fei was at a loss for words and sweated buckets. The technical terms that these two mad scientists used made Fei feel like he was back on Earth and sat at the last row in the university classroom while listening to a professor explaining linear algebra with a heavy accent.

However, the few university students beside him were excited with lights flashing in their eyes, and they quickly recorded the information; they should have understood quite a bit of the conversation between Cain and Akara.

On the other side, Undead Mage Hazel Bank was also confused. He fell from the sky during the day and had comminuted fractures in six of his rib bones and both of his legs. Although he had recovered by now, he still looked at Fei with blame.

Chapter 950: Quick Passage of Time (Part Two)

As the most high-ranking and powerful elder of the [Undead Godly Palace], Hazel Bank was a peak Burning Sun Lord, and he almost died from the fall. If this information got out, he would become a laughingstock on the continent.

“Ahahaha! Quick! Where is that poor thing called Dark Demonic Armor Basturk? Take off its leg and let me look! I’m going to have a good look…” Akara was still in her crazy state.

“Despicable humans! You are staining the honor of the gods! You are too arrogant! Hey… wait up! Don’t move… Ay, we can talk this out… show me some respect! Come one! Hey, you little kids! My thighs! Lighter! Ay, so violent!”

The poor Dark Demonic Armor Basturk was now ashamed and lacked prestige.

Since its strength was sealed, the university students ignored the threat that it posed and quickly dismantled its leg while looking at it in contempt.

Fei discovered that Dark Demonic Armor Basturk was becoming more and more human-like. If it weren’t confirmed that this thing was only a war machine, Fei would believe that someone was wearing the armor and hiding inside it to fool people.

…

With Fei’s help, the research progress at [Mad Scientists Laboratory] skyrocketed. In less than ten days, most of the runes and arrays on Dark Demonic Armor Basturk were decoded, and a portion of the content on the white bone plate was decrypted as well. Soon, Chambord would be able to start creating its own war machines.

During this time, Fei leveled up his Necromancer character to Hell Mode level 100, and he started to focus on his Druid character.

Time quickly passed by.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and winter enveloped the land.

All the zombies and mutated demon beasts inside the Capital of Anji were wiped out by Fei, and he started to clean the zombies that were wandering outside the cities and on the plains.

After these days of killing, Fei’s Paladin character and Barbarian character got a bit stronger, and they weren’t far from mid-tier Demi-God Realm. The realms of both characters also got more powerful, now could be cast out and radiate two kilometers around Fei.

Inside Diablo World, Fei’s Druid character reached Hell Mode level 100 and achieved the breakthrough. Also, his Sorceress character had gotten to Hell Mode level 20.

Inside [Mad Scientists Laboratory], Cain and Akara analyzed and studied all the secrets on Dark Demonic Armor Basturk, and all of them were decoded.

In the beginning, Dark Demonic Armor Basturk acted tough, and it wasn’t willing to budge. After being ‘tortured’ by the university students, it finally gave up and cooperated with the research. Also, it revealed quite a few secrets of Hell.

Under its help, the Holy Code of Hell, which was copied onto the white bone plate, was completely decoded.

During the process, Cain and Akara discovered one thing.

It turned out that the forces of Hell weren’t planning to complete the deal with the Holy Church; the information recorded on the white bone plate was half true and half false, and it had a high chance of leading people down the wrong path. If the Holy Church tried to create war machines using the secret technique on the white bone plate, it would suffer greatly. The war machines that the Holy Church would create could only be controlled by the forces of Hell.

It turned out that dealing with demons was a high-risk business.

Fortunately, Chambord had extensive knowledge about godly runes as well as the dark power of Hell. Also, Dark Demonic Armor Basturk who could be called the No.1 Traitor of Hell helped a lot, so the two mad scientists completely recreated the real war machine creation technique, and they planned to build the first one soon.
