Chapter 1115: Reward
The streets in the main city zone were quite prosperous.
The Zenitian refugees who were rushed into Chambord City were all teleported to this place via super-long-distance teleportation arrays and settled down here.
When these people first appeared here, they were terrified by the packed zombies and mutated demon beasts outside the city.
However, these people soon realized that the entire city was protected by powerful bright magic arrays, and even the emperor-level zombies couldn’t breakthrough. From that moment on, their hearts finally dropped back into their chests.
There were many usable residential buildings in the city and clean water sources. In fact, there were even valuables left behind by the Anjians.
With the food supply that was delivered from Chambord, close to ten million refugees started to live in this city comfortably.
When Fei unleashed his power to purify the undead energy and zombies, all the people living in this city sensed the unimaginable miracle, and they kneeled and started to pray.
When Fei slowly descended from the sky, everyone in the city fell into a fanatic state and cheered.
The news about Chambord’s grand victory and Zenit’s redemption were already passed back to this place.
After experiencing the tragedy of war, these refugees already saw Fei as the savior of Zenit and worshipped him as a god.
Therefore, when Fei appeared here, cheers and chants erupted in the city like a pent-up volcano, and they were thunderous and resonated in the sky.
After comforting the excited refugees, Fei went to the Royal Palace in the center of the city.
This was the secondary arsenal of Chambord and the headquarters of a few secret organizations.
After about half a year of development, everything was quite built up and organized.
Different from the outside zone, this place was tightly guarded. There was a watchtower every five meters and a checkpoint every ten meters. On every street inside the Royal Palace, elite Chambordian soldiers were walking around and patrolling, and all kinds of magic traps, illusion arrays, and killing mechanisms were set up. Even a fly couldn’t venture deep into the Royal Palace alive.
Both Akara and Cain were responsible for the work that was happening here.
However, most of the time, these two elder-level mad scientists who earned countless merits busied themselves with magic experiments and magic item developments which seemed boring to others.
Therefore, these two mad scientists’ disciples and Gold Saint Dessler of Aries took care of the management and protection of this place.
Just now, [Little Mad Scientist] Oscar and Dessler came out to welcome Fei.
After quickly inspecting the buildings on the ground and the secret factories that were modified from the secret treasure storage rooms of the Anji Empire, Fei quickly went to the sealed space underground.
This place was still mysterious and vast.
The giant sealed eggs were still locked by godly blood chains and floated in the void.
About half a year had passed, and it seemed like nothing had changed.
However, since Fei was now a god, he could better detect the evil presences that were surging inside these stone eggs that weren’t broken yet. The evil presences were so powerful that it was suffocating.
The evil energy intertwined and fought with the godly blood chains around the surface of these stone eggs.
Only gods could sense the crazy battles between these two polar-opposite forces.
Especially the giant stone egg that was half bright and hard dark in the center of this space. The presence of that egg was so vast that it was unimaginable. Even with Fei’s current strength, he was still shocked and a little terrified.
After staring at these giant sealed eggs for a while, Fei made a decision and disappeared from where he was standing.
In the next moment, the king appeared inside the giant stone egg that was modified by Chambord. This was an independent space and the new facility of the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory. The rest of the 4,000 mystical gold war puppets were being modified here, and this project was approaching completion.
In the endless white beach, there were many giant craters and magic item components scattered around them. These were the aftermath of the failed magic experiments.
Further away, waves were surging on the blue ocean, and white bubbles rolled.
Close to 1,000 university students who had the most primitive Chambordian bloodline were busy working here.
Only about half a year passed in the outside world, but the speed of time was different in this place. To these hardworking students, more than ten years had passed. Their faces that looked naïve and young now seemed mature and steady.
For the rise of Chambord, these people stayed inside this boring and monotone world and sacrificed themselves in silence. Several years were just like a day to them.
These people were all the unnamed heroes of Chambord.
The only things that didn’t change were Cain and Akara’s old faces, which made them seem like old monsters.
Although more than ten years had passed in this dimension, it seemed like nothing happened to these two mad scientists. Not even an extra wrinkle could be seen on their faces.
When Fei appeared before them, these two only froze for a split-second before lowering their heads and continuing their work. They didn’t even look surprised or joyous.
Fei smiled.
The king clearly saw that Cain’s hands shivered and placed an earth-elemental component onto a water-elemental magic crossbow, and Akara instantly turned a magic array blueprint that was 99 percent completed into something like Picasso’s abstract painting.
“These two old people are still trying to act,” Fei thought to himself as he walked up and gave each of them a hug.
To these two mad scientists, this was a hug that they received after ten years of not seeing Fei.
“You kid…” Cain finally couldn’t act anymore, and a bright smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
Akara also smiled and showed a cracked tooth.
This was the first time that Fei saw Akara smile so brightly.
“Huh? Your tooth…” Fei instantly started to laugh ‘heartlessly’.
Before he could finish, Akara’s bright smile turned gloomy, and she rushed over and landed many punches onto Fei’s body.
The king could only clench his teeth and endure the ‘beating’. He didn’t even dare to use his power to shield himself, afraid that the impulsive force might injury Akara who was going ham.
The soldiers outside the tent sensed the disturbance, and they rushed inside to check.
Seeing this, the soldiers all lowered their heads and exited the tent in silence as if they didn’t see anything.
After exiting, these soldiers looked at each other, covered their mouths, and laughed. It was rare to see the king in such an embarrassing situation.
This was why the king was so likable and obtained the loyalty of all Chambordians. Although he was dignified in public, he was friendly and playful in private settings.
“This is our king!” the soldiers all thought to themselves with pride.
…
About an hour later, everyone in this small world, who rarely stopped working, got ready to participate in the banquet that the king prepared for them.
Fei took out the best liquor and the delicious meat that he harvested in the [Vicious Swamp] on the [Banished Land] to treat these students and soldiers, and the latter got to enjoy feasting on great delicacies.
To add to the atmosphere, the king even used his godly power and covered the sky of this small world, creating the beautiful scenery of a night sky that showed many brilliant stars.
The campfires illuminated everyone’s face, and many people got drunk.
To all these people, this night was unforgettable in their lives.
Of course, Cain and Akara were the exceptions.
