Chapter 971 - The Inner kingdom: Beast Clearing Hunt (2) (1/2)
Chapter 971
(Unedited)
…
Another week has passed and the changes in the city are already evident. Large posters of the famous idols from Fenghai Company could be seen on the main roads of the city above the buildings. Faces and figures of famous people like Shenya Maw, Delphi Yan, Isabel Nightingale, and more are being plastered everywhere with items from Mystique Shop being advertised.
The people who could see those beautiful faces would always stop and look to admire the beauty and handsomeness of those celebrities.
However, not only did the capital become busy because of this. Today is the day that the annual beast clearing hunt would begin.
So everyone in the city is feeling a bit excited, the merchants in particular as they would be the ones to buy the carcasses of those beasts. Most of them that have a cooperation relationship with the Mystique Shop are itching to get their hands on a large amount of beast carcass to be turned into canned meat and then be sold.
Since this technology and machine have been bought by them from the Mystique Shop, they have discovered that earning money through these machines is fairly easy. However, no matter how much they produce, it is still not enough to provide for the city's needs.
And so, this annual hunt would provide them with tons and tons of beast carcasses to be turned into weapons, armors, and food. Though not all of them could be converted to such, and only about 70% of the harvest could be converted, it is still enough to supply them with their demand.
As the city began to prepare, the sound of trumpets suddenly echoed throughout the whole city, making everyone feel a bit startled.
From the radios, the loudspeakers, and the television sets, a deep voice could be heard as the voice introduces the king of the kingdom.
”People of Xinglo Kingdom… I now present unto you… the king! King Grav! Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Those watching their TV sets could see a regal-looking person slowly walking to the stage.
The people watching this scene immediately became excited.
”Long live the king!”
”Long live the king!”
”Long live the king!”
Cheers began to echo in the streets and in the houses as they look at the king who went against all odds and suddenly change the lives of the people in the capital city.
King Grav showed a gentle smile on his face while looking at the camera and the people below him.
Right now, he is inside the hall with his ministers, chancellors, generals, and other members of his staff. Right in front of him are some people from other cities waiting to record his message for his people, along with the magic cameras and audio recording crystals.
As he looks down at the crowd in front of him, a slight delight could be seen flickering in his eyes.
”My dear people, the people of our Xinglo Kingdom! I, your king am happy to be in front of you all. In these few months, I have seen the huge changes that have happened in every city, in every town, and in every village. The lives of my citizen have changed for the better…” he said as he looks at everyone.
The people under the stage nodded their heads, while those standing outside and in their homes also agreed.
”Long are the days passed when everyone spends their days in darkness and fear. As we cower ourselves and fear for the unknown future of our fair kingdom and even our lives… But now, everything has changed for the better.” He added.
He then looks at the camera with a smile and then said.
”Today is another glorious day for us all. For today, we will once again exterminate the beast that is threatening our capital. Today we will liberate ourselves and clean the northern forest to once again enjoy our peaceful and blessed life… Let the annual beast cleaning hunt… begin!”

In a village outside the capital
In one particular big tavern outside the capital city, there are few people wearing hooded cloaks sneakily gathered together. Their table is located in the dark corner of the tavern and the people inside seem to have not noticed their presence.
This tavern is accommodating many mercenaries, adventurers, and merchants, one sneakier than the others. So this group of people did not gain the attention of the people inside.
