Chapter 929 - The Inner Kingdom: The Demon Gorge
Chapter 929
(Unedited)
…
The clamor of the mages began to settle when they saw the scene in front of them. As mages, they are also aware of what is happening outside the inner kingdom. They also knew the existence of the Mystique Shop and that the said shop has already entered the city. This is also one of the reasons why they wanted to take the mage towers back.
But how could the people let them do that? Those towers were already left in rubbles as they were all burned down by the angry people of the city.
Those people have lost their loved ones and were given diseases by those shameless mages, so how could they spare those towers that the mages like to boast about?
With the help of Xiamen Gong and the rest, the towers crumble even with their strong defenses.
And now, those mages wanted to take the towers back? How would that be possible?
Right at this moment, the scene on the floating screen changed. This time it is showing another scene. It is the riot in the city.
Then the mages saw how those mage towers crumble to the ground without resistance. They were hit by those weird weapons. With only two to four bursts of fire, a tower would crumble to the ground. Upon seeing this scene, the mages are now all afraid and worried. The scene where a mage tower crumbles to the ground without resistance is a horrifying scene for the mages who are confident of the strength of their mage towers.
Not even a mighty beast could do that. But now that they are seeing this scene, they are all afraid.
After this scene, Shin Jiao appears as he floated in the air.
When the mages saw this, their complexion immediately changes. They were confident a while ago because they learned that the man was in a coma and could not wake up. If the city does not have the support of a powerful mage tower or a Grand Magus, then it would be easily breached.
But Zepa city is different; no one dares enter this place because of the Duke and his minions. Plus the disease that has been infecting the citizen of the city.
But now that everything is fine they wanted now to control the city.
Yet now that a Grand Magus is here, how could they act?
An old mage slowly steps forward behind the crowd. His figure then slowly floated in the sky which surprised all of the mages around him. But upon discovering that there is a Grand Magus hiding amongst them, they all felt elated.
"You are Master Shin, right? This old man is Grand Magus Xiong Chao, from the Tower of Light…" he said with a smile.
"Tower of Light… This is an honor… Grand Magus Xiong…" Shin Jiao said politely.
He has a close relationship with the Tower of Light because of Tong Liwen and Mao Eosis. Though those two are just an acquaintance, the cooperation with the Tower of Light has grown that it has already reached the inner kingdom.
Shin Jiao and Xiong Chao began to discuss the state of Zepa City. There was an agreement to let the mages enter the city once again, but the control of the city would not be given to them. They decided to create a council of mages and warriors along with ordinary citizens and that council would govern the city of Zepa from now on.
In the midst of these changes, Shin Jiao and his group have already settled in the city while the rest of their party is also entering through the gates of the inner kingdom.
It seems that Prince Lamier Grav has successfully convinced the king for the Mystique Shop to extend to the inner kingdom. However, this is with the pretext that the merchant group would not rise up an army for themselves. The reason for this is because the royalty fears the power of this mysterious merchant group.
Right at this moment after a month of staying in the city, Shin Jiao has already received an invitation to meet with the king.
But before that, he needs to take care of an impending that would threaten the whole of the inner kingdom.
According to his estimate, it would take around 2 more months before that Dark Mage would be able to break through to the Elemental Lord realm. But that is in the condition that this place would let him do so.
However, if that guy fails, then there is a danger that he would vent his anger towards the people in this place and might destroy everything in the end. So, to prevent that Dark Grand Magus from rampaging he needs to go to the Demon Gorge to him before it\'s too late.
After preparing everything, Shin Jiao alone left the city.
He is using a weird-looking ship according to the people. It looks like a modern space shuttle and everyone who saw this ship looks at it curiously.
When it slowly hovers from the ground, everyone is already dumbfounded.
"This is a new transport ship that the Mystique Shop has created, right? I heard that there are a few of them in Central Town in the outer world…"
"I wish I can get my hands on one… I would surely study it thoroughly…"
"If this would be a way of transportation, then merchants would not worry about traveling long distances, right? We can prevent any bandits from taking advantage of us…"
"That is so cool…"
The people who saw the new ship began to discuss while watching the ship hover higher and higher until it left the city.
"Miss Hua… How long before such a ship would be operational in Zepa City?" the pudgy Marcus Jing asked with glowing eyes while looking at the disappearing ship on the horizon.
"Hmmm… Around 3 to 4 months from now. We still need to gather more materials and workers. Since we could not bring the things we have in the outer world in this place, we have to start from scratch, so it would take some time…" Hua Xiao said with a polite smile.
Marcus Jing looks at the beautiful woman beside him. He could not deny that he is attracted to the beauty of the woman. But he dare not voice this out because of the temperament of this woman. Though she looks like an angel when calm, her true temperament is like a fireball that is ready to explode anytime.
Plus he could tell that this woman likes the man who is currently commanding and training the soldiers of the city. The two have a weird relationship with each other.
"Well, we will proceed as plan. We must finish our task before Shin Jiao comes back." Hua Xiao said as she turns around and went back to the meeting room.
The rest of the people watching outside also came back and takes their seats.
Hua Xiao stood up after everyone was seated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to our information about the Demon Gorge, it is filled with miasma and weird creatures. Although it is dangerous, still many ventures inside of it because of the rich resources inside of the gorge. If Shin Jiao\'s plan is right and he succeeded, we are looking at a treasure trove that would finance the whole kingdom. So our plan is to…" she began to talk about the future plans of the Mystique Shop.
After the council heard her, they all raised their concerns and their ideas and the room began to be filled with discussions.
Meanwhile, in the sky of the inner kingdom, Shin Jiao looks at the horizon as the ship flew at its top speed. He soon could see a thick purple mist-covered ground.
"So this is the Demon Gorge… It is a bit of a distance from Zepa City… This only shows that the ability of that Dark Grand Magus is nothing to scoff at…" he said while looking at the thick mist below him.
Suddenly, he could feel a strange vibration from the ground.
And from that below, he immediately saw a small hill that seems to come to life. That hill seems to be transforming into a large creature that looks like its whole body is made of large boulders.
The creature is about 20 meters tall. From the size of that creature, Shin Jiao could tell that his gear would be able to contend against it. Right now it is the perfect chance to test out one of the new gears that he just finished converting.
Since in this place, the universe energy is blocked and mana energy is not that strong enough to power it. He has no choice but to wait for the time until he is able to develop the right engine for it. And in this month he has finally finished it.
And upon seeing that creature, he immediately has an idea to use it.
He pressed a few buttons on the ship.
"I\'m feeling a bit excited…" he muttered while chuckling to himself.
