Pillar of Yita

”What post?” The person asking was the Miss Magic Guided Conductor sitting opposite the warrior.

”It’s that tacky-titled post exposing the inside story of the Dolifen battle.” The warrior didn’t seem to mind being watched; in fact, those bragging in the inn’s hall were eager to have more eyes on them.

The Magic Guided Conductor girl frowned: ”Oh, that one. What kind of age is this to have such titles? It’s just to stir up the crowd; I didn’t even click on it.”

”The title’s a bit stupid, but the content is genuinely solid. It talks about the Dragon Worship Sect, Dragon Witch, you know,” replied the warrior. ”I actually went to check, and there really is a Dragon Witch incident. Do you guys know Xiuyuede? The Dragon Slayer.”

”Who wouldn’t know that? Any poet you find can sing about it.”

”But in the poem, the dragon he killed was actually a Dark Giant Dragon, didn’t you know?

”Dark Giant Dragon? Wasn’t it an Evil Dragon?”

”Of course not, Golden Star Fire falling into dust. The one he killed was the famous Dragon’s Witch Nikopolas. It’s verifiable from documents, but if you’re only looking at the surface literature, haha, you’ll have a hard time understanding this. However, in the community, there’s a group of research experts who investigated this, and it turns out the post was true. You remember the Dark Giant Dragon that appeared at the end of the Dolifen battle? That was Dragon Witch Nikopolas.”

”But wasn’t she dead?”

”Ridiculous,” someone in the crowd scoffed: ”Never forget a deceased enemy; how could a Dark Giant Dragon be killed?”

The hall erupted into discussion. The Dark Giant Dragon at the end of the Dolifen battle was seen by everyone. Fang Hong cleverly utilized this fact to steer people’s thinking in this direction. And the Invoker’s divergent thinking is often powerful, though their deduction might be wrong—but just as Fang Hong said, he’s not afraid of people investigating this matter. Once they do, they’ll understand the underlying mystery.

People then began discussing the recent Charter City incident, with rumors about the Dragon Worship Sect rampant. The Underground Walnut group sitting nearby exchanged glances, realizing that Captain Ade’s plan worked.

Somehow, as people talked, the conversation shifted back to the main character of the Dolifen battle.

Theoretically, the main character of the Dolifen battle should be the Elfendo Council, but for most Invokers, the rightful main character of that battle is the Dragon’s Alchemist.

And coincidentally, there’s a lot of talk about this Dragon’s Alchemist. Not long ago, they made waves in Istania. And right after, they shocked everyone—wanted by the Colin Kingdom and even on the Super Competitive League’s grey list.

”This Dragon’s Alchemist’s gentleman has got himself into big trouble,” someone remarked. ”But they really are amazing, one against a hundred—Loofah became famous similarly.”

”He’s no longer the Dragon’s Alchemist,” the discussions on this topic were obviously heated, someone immediately added, ”I heard Nogness’s locals gave him a new title, Ship Destroyer. Considering how many ships they sank from Orlenze onwards, it’s astounding.”

This is practically Loofah 2.0, but Miss Loofah, as a highly popular star in the Invoker’s circles, her legend is well-loved, while Fang Hong and his team’s narrative is more mixed.

Immediately, someone retorted: ”Nonsense! How could they compare to Miss Loofah? It’s not his achievement; he just happened to have a big shot on board. I heard it’s someone from the military. What’s so impressive about clinging to military backing?”

”And they might not have genuinely sunk that many ships; it’s just rumors,” the warrior suddenly said, ”The video is only from Kailan Ao’s viewpoint, just a few puffs of smoke. Neither side released a first-person perspective. If you really sank that many ships, wouldn’t you show off immediately?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But there were opposing voices because neither side released proof videos, yet the current community’s narrative clearly disadvantaged the major Guilds. Theoretically, they should have released videos to dispel rumors.

Holders of both opinions argued incessantly, neither able to convince the other.

The core issue was that Fang Hong was currently at odds with the Descendants of Flor—every one of the top ten Guilds has many domestic fans, and the Descendants of Flor unite among several Guilds. The fans of the two major Alliances account for over ninety percent of domestic Super Competitive fans.

The argument was merely about which side one stood on.

But the warrior was clearly a BBK fan, constantly mentioning the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team, then ridiculing Fang Hong and the others. Suddenly, there was a ’bang,’ Titanium Pea couldn’t hold it anymore, slammed the table and stood up: ”Nonsense! We came from Kailan Ao, witnessed the combat firsthand, absolutely no falsehoods.”

The Underground Walnut group looked at the speaker, surprised by their impulsiveness. But having spent considerable time on the Seven Seas Traveler, most of them considered themselves part-Seven Seas Travel Group members, feeling somewhat annoyed at the slander.
