To Sun City!
Chapter 417 – To Sun City!
The whole server was shaken again.
First, it announced that Money Grubber had captured Abyss City and become its lord. Not long after, it was announced that he was the first player in the entire system to advance to Celestial and won the title of "Daytime Celestial Ascension". Everyone burst into an uproar.
In a guild base somewhere near Black Tortoise City, a man was polishing his armor. Upon hearing that Fatty had become the lord of Abyss City, he immediately flew into a rage, practically going crazy as he smashed everything breakable within reach. He was lifting a table when suddenly he heard the announcement of Fatty’s promotion to Celestial. Frozen in shock, the man murmured, "How can it be so fast?"
Far away on the other side of the ocean, a player in a tough fight against monsters was slightly stunned after hearing the two news in succession. He sighed, "It’s difficult to get revenge now"
In a magnificent high city covered in marks of battle, obviously with much history, a player sitting in the very central area of the city lord manor turned pale at the news and kicked over a table. Just as this person sat down, the next announcement instantly turned his face from green to black. His fists clenched, and his fingernails deeply dug into his palms.
……
While all players discussed heatedly about Fatty becoming the lord of Abyss City as well as ranking up to Celestial, the person of interest was passing through the teleportation route from Abyss City to Sky City, then quickly to the Imperial Capital.
Not far from the imperial palace in the Imperial Capital, a luxurious mansion stood quietly. The mansion was over 20 meters tall and fully occupied a street. It had bronze gates, beside them were two stone kirins 10 meters tall, with 20 guards lined up on each side.
Above the gates was a golden plaque on which was painted two large characters in exquisite calligraphy that exuded the commanding feel of shining spears and armored horses1.
Yue Estate.
At this moment, a person was rushing towards the entrance of this residence, immediately causing the two rows of guards to be alarmed. A cold light flashed through the eyes of the commander. He stepped forward and shouted, "This is Grand Marshal of All Troops’ estate. Trespassing is forbidden, please stop!"
Hearing this, the bearer immediately stopped and said with cupped hands, "This is Sky City Lord. I have been ordered to come meet the grand marshal. Please inform him."
"Sky City Lord?"
The guard commander was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, a gentle voice came from the inside, "Invite His Lordship in."
Hearing this voice, the guard commander immediately turned solemn and respectful. He bowed slightly, and gestured with his hand, "Please."
Having no time to talk to the guard commander, Fatty hurried into the grand marshal’s mansion, led by a soldier into the living room.
The outer appearance of the Grand Marshal Mansion was extravagant, however, everything was very simple inside. Apart from some flowers and plants for decoration, there weren’t many luxuries.
In the living room sat a middle-aged man with a clean, upright face and long brows slanted upward like sharp knives. He gave off a domineering aura even without trying to.
Entering the living room, Fatty cupped his fists and bowed slightly. "Lord of Sky City, Money Grubber greets the grand marshal."
The grand marshal gently nodded and smiled. "Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Grand Marshal."
Fatty settled down in a seat and asked, "I wonder why Grand Marshal has summoned this humble officer in such a hurry?"
"You are the head of a city, not my subordinate," the grand marshal said with a smile, then the smile on his face disappeared as he sighed. "This time going to Heavens Scar to hunt demons, you guys must have seen their scale? Any thoughts?"
"We did." Fatty thought for a moment and said, "They have around 1.8 million troops, which is not much. If going to war for real, Sky City alone can easily handle them with enough energy to support the operation. Just that they have a lot of experts, they won’t be easy to deal with."
