Chapter 597: Becoming a Hermi (2/2)

……

-Chambord City, Tiananmen Square-

More and more citizens of Chambord rushed out of their homes and ran toward the plaza after the lightning bolts and the thick dark clouds were gone. The defensive magic arrays around the square were put away, and the bylaw enforcement officers who were locking this place down moved so that the joyous and cheerful citizens could get into the plaza.

On this continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, the birth of a Moon-Class Elite was significant to any kingdom or empire; any kinds of celebration couldn’t be overboard.

The cheers continued, and Lampard was treated like a legendary hero.

Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and lowered it onto the giant stone pillar in the center of the plaza. As he glanced around the excited crowd, he felt very proud.

After a while, he waved his hand.

All the cheering stopped, and tens of thousands of heated gazes focused on him; everyone was waiting for him to say something.

“Today is a day that will be recorded onto the history book of Chambord! Today, we got a powerful guardian! Today, we got the strength to fight back the bullies! Today, we obtained the most powerful warriors in the history of Chambord!!”

Fei’s voice quickly got drowned in the thunder-like applauses and cheers.

After a while when the cheering finally died down a little, Fei continued, “Today, as the King of Chambord, I have something important to announce to all the citizens of Chambord……”

He took out a divy crystal from his storage space, and he injected a little bit of magic energy into it. Dashes of colorful lights were emitted from the crystal, and it projected out a giant movie-like video in the sky.

It was a scene that many Chambordians were familiar with; it showed the numerous mountains and forests behind Chambord. However, the view of such scenery from the sky was quite novel to them.

Under Fei’s control, the video changed.

There were five tall and majestic mountains that pierced into the clouds, and it looked like they were situated on the five points of a pentagram. There were giant rocks, ancient trees, morning mists, and white clouds…… It looked like a paradise in heaven.

There were numerous mountains connected to the back mountain of Chambord, and it was heard that many demon beasts resided in there. In addition, the terrains were rough, and there were no paths into it. Therefore, even Chambordians who had lived in this place for generations would rarely go in there. To Chambordians, it was an explored land of mystery.

After seeing this, a lot of people got curious.

“Does the king want to conquer this terrifying and mysterious ‘back garden’ of Chambord?” they thought.

“I have named these five mountains, Five Sword Sky Mountains. From now on, they would be the residences of the royal family of Chambord. As the king, I have decided to move the King’s Palace into the Five Sword Sky Mountains, and I would be trying to cultivate and progress on the path of power……” Fei paused for a second when he saw the surprised and sad expressions on his people’s faces. Then, he continued, “After a year of development, the six departments are getting more and more efficient, and the Law of the 12 Tables are refined. Everything is well under control; Mr. Bast and Mr. Brook are caring and just, and the officials in the six departments are elites elected by the people. All the administrative and military duties are well delegated and organized, and I, the king, doesn’t need to get involved for the citizens to live great lives.”

At this point, a lot of people understood the situation.

On the Azeroth Continent, it wasn’t uncommon that kings and emperors weren’t involved in the management of their kingdoms and empires.

After all, this world was ruled by power, and the nobles and royals had a lot more resources and could obtain great warrior energy and magic energy cultivation techniques.

Therefore, a lot of rulers and upper-class people were focused on cultivation and lived in seclusion, and all the managing of their lands were delegated to loyal and capable ministers.
