Chapter 152: City of Heroes (2/2)
A burst of cheers sounded within the mountain belly.
“City of Heroes, haha, it has two layers of meanings. First, this magnificent underground stone city is created by every step and every drop of sweat of the people of Chambord City. Secondly, I hope that all the Chambord people that walked out of this secret stone realm from today are all heroes with an indomitable spirit!“
Fei’s voice just faded, some soldiers and masons already began feeling excited and blood boiled. On this kind of continent where status hierarchy was this important, people with low status like them were actually very easily satisfied. To be able to receive the “hero” title from the king was already an honor they can brag about for generations.
…
The crowd gradually dispersed, and began busy working on some finishing touches for the [City of Heroes].
The chief guard Pete Cech brought the saint warriors under his command and continued to carry out the supervision and defense work on site. Only warden Oleg was summoned by Fei on short notice and followed behind Fei’s ass. They came to the stone chamber that was specifically opened up for the King. Fei took a careful look around and nodded in satisfaction. The majority of the furniture was made of stone, and there was a little mermaid fountain pool in the middle of the stone chamber, sparkling, and there was a group of red-tailed goldfish leisurely swimming around. Flowers and green grass, the decorations wasn’t luxurious, yet simple and fresh, and that’s the type Fei likes.
“Tell me about it, is the interrogation work carrying out smoothly?” Fei picked up some fish food and stood beside the fountain pool, teasing the goldfish while he lightly asked.
“Very smooth, these people simply don’t deserve the nobility title, they are all as timid as rats. Drogba and Pierce tied a few guards to rocks and sunk them to the Zuli River, and the others were already terrified. The nine kingdom’s kings didn’t dare to resist the slightest and all signed the new agreement right away. In accordance to His Majesty your orders, we have already released their most trusted personal guards for them to travel back right away to their respective countries to prepare the compensation…” Warden Oleg said proudly with his eyebrows dancing, “We isolated and interrogated all the kings separately, and according to them, the reason they all had dared to fight back, besides that they didn’t want to pay for the reparation signed by their princes, most importantly they were convinced by a mysterious person.”
“Oh? Mysterious person?” Fei crushed the rest of the fish food in his hands, threw them into the pond, then patted his hands and said, “What kind of mysterious person?”
“The specific identity of that person was not even clear by those dumb kings, and they only knew some blurry information. It should be a powerful magician from the Empire Capital St. Petersburg, it’s just that he didn’t follow the army here this time. But he had a follower that did, and it’s the wind elemental magician that initiated the attack on the stone bridge this afternoon. He followed the alliance army to the city, and was captured by us. But this guy’s a little noble from a big family in the Empire, he’s really arrogant because of his identity. Without His Majesty your orders, we didn’t dare to use any punishment on him, so…” Warden Oleg said with a little troubled look, once the matter involves big powerful families of the Empire’s capital, their identities are even more sensitive than the nine kings, so Oleg didn’t dare to act rashly and needed Fei to make the decision.
“They are really a group of idiots, don’t even know that person’s identity and actually lost their own judgement after being instigated and decided to attack Chambord City? What a bunch of people with brains crawling with maggots, how did they become king?” Fei shook his head, then with a straight face he said, “Don’t worry about what powerful family of whatever shitty empire they are from, dig out the identity of that mysterious man at any price! You know already, from the little black room of Chambord city, no enemy could walk out with their heads up. Since they dared to go up against Chambord city, then they should have a taste of living a life that’s worse than dying. I remember you were called the “Death’s Touch” by the people of Chambord city back in the old days, cold blooded, cruel, and everyone’s face would change when they hear your name? Now, it’s time for you to show the means you use before to interrogate which even the rocks would cry if you use on them! Remember, enemies never need pity, and there’s only one purpose for the little black room’s existence – I will know the things I want to know!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Fei’s answer made warden Oleg’s fat body startled a bit, then he replied after straightened his back.
“Temporarily put this thing aside for now, and do it when you can.” Fei said, waved, and then a sheepskin paper that was cut into a perfect square flew towards warden Oleg. Oleg caught it in his hand in surprise, and Fei continued, “On it have a list of things you have to do within the next month.” Fei didn’t explain further. In fact, beside Oleg, the main leaders of Chambord city Bast, Brook and the others also received similar papers.
Warden Oleg suddenly hesitated for a second, and then immediately understood Fei’s meaning, and he said in shock, “Your Majesty, you… you are going to leave Chambord City for a period of time?”
Fei nodded.
He didn’t say anything else. He stood in front of the fountain, his eyes looked past Oleg’s figure into the deepest place in the distant mountain belly. Over there, there was a giant pitch black iron door that was over 20 meters tall, as if a giant monster was entrenched there with its mouth open. No one knew what was behind that giant iron gate. In the past two hundred years, many kings of Chambord city explored there before, but besides heavy casualties, no one could find out the slightest about the secret that’s hidden behind there.
“Your Majesty, you absolutely should now…” Oleg followed Fei’s eyes and looked, and he suddenly understood Fei’s plan. He was shocked and advised, “Your Majesty, that place is way too dangerous… way too dangerous!”
