Hail the King

Fei thought about it and took out a cultivation technique scroll from his storage space, gifting it to Ed Hazard.

This was a unique technique that Fei created on the way back to Chambord. It was based on an interesting technique from [Demon King’s Sword], and Fei named it [Diamond Dust Fist]. In terms of warrior energy property, it was perfect for Ed Hazard.

Subconsciously, Fei wanted to turn this young man into Bronze Saint of Cygnus since he looked similar to Hyōga, the original Bronze Saint of Cygnus in the anime.

As his peers looked at him with envy, Ed carefully took the scroll and treated it like a supreme treasure.

“One more thing; how did you find that invader?” Fei suddenly thought back to how this young man discovered that mid-aged man, and it was a little unimaginable. Without external help, Ed Hazard, who was only a Three-Star Warrior, shouldn’t be able to discover that Moon-Class Elite.

“Your Majesty, that is because we all have this magic item with us......” Ed took a watch-like item off his wrist and handed it over to Fei carefully. He explained, “Anyone who is below the realm of Sun-Class couldn’t hide all their bodily heat. They couldn’t do it even if they have great stealth techniques and stealth items. Professor Cain said that all the pores on a person’s body are constantly emitting heat. This device, with the help from the special paint on the wall called [Demon Moon’s Light], could sense all the minuscule changes in heat in an area five meters around it. Therefore......”

“That old man really made it?” Fei was pleasantly surprised, and he also didn’t know what do say.

It was him who told Cain about the heat being emitted by the pores, and Cain didn’t believe it at first. Now, he was promoting the same theory as if he discovered it.

Soon, the loud warnings ended, and the red warning lights on the walls also stopped flashing.

After the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers searched around the [City of Heroes] again and made sure that there were no more intruders, the [Dragon Slayers] were pulled back, and all the gates locking down the safety rooms slowly reopened. Then, the workers and students walked out of there and continued with their tasks calmly.

There were designated personnel who were in charge of cleaning up the mess created by the battle.

The saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers all saluted at the king and left through the teleportation arrays one group after another.

This underground cave returned to its calm, peaceful, refreshing, and pleasant state, and it felt like nothing happened. The birds and cute animals that went to hide somewhere returned as well, squeaking and chirping as they looked at the people who were walking around curiously.

Fei nodded in satisfaction.

The [City of Heroes] indeed had a powerful magic defense system, and it was beyond his estimation. When he wandered around afterward, he spotted even more magic traps and killing mechanisms that weren’t used in the battle. Therefore, even if he weren’t here, that mid-aged man couldn’t get away.

Before the renovation project began, Cain and Akara were very confident in their modification of the design of the [City of Heroes]; they said that the powerful magic traps and killing mechanisms were enough to handle Moon-Class Elites. Even if Sun-Class Lords entered this place, they would get a headache. From the look it, those two mad scientists weren’t bluffing.

Fei reviewed the design put forth by them before, and he knew that less than one-tenth of the plan was implemented. It was enough to capture a New Moon Elite now; once completed, it would be enough to tie down Sun-Class Lords.

By using the magic elevator, Fei went to every floor and checked out the implemented designs one by one with Brook and Torres.

The first floor to the fifth floor was open to anyone, and there were resting rooms, dining halls, workout rooms, etc. The sixth floor to the 15th floor was the campus of the Civil and Military University. The rooms on the ten floors were divided into places such as classrooms, experimental rooms, practice rooms, common weaponry rooms, and libraries. This university was based on the universities in Fei’s previous life, and all the facilities were there. There were more than 1,000 kids between the age of ten and 18 studying here, and they were the key to Chambord’s future rise.

All the kids who were younger than ten years old were getting pre-schooled in the Chambord City, and only the more talented and extraordinary kids were taken into the Civil and Military University as exceptions.

To some degree, since Fei knew that investing in education was very important, the Chambord Kingdom was the kingdom that spent the most money in this field in the region with a diameter of one million kilometers. The education these kids were receiving was comprehensive and scientific, completely breaking the unwritten rule where only the kids of affluent families could study and changing many kids’ lives. action

As the king of Chambord, Fei was also the principal of the school.

However, he wasn’t a good principal since he hadn’t shown his face in the school for more than half a year, and he never taught one class nor had one speech.

“Schedule a class three days later. Otherwise, I’m not filling my duty,” Fei said to Brook.

They didn’t disturb the kids who were having classes; they only wandered outside the classrooms and checked the classes out.

“That is great! The kids will be thrilled once they know that Your Majesty is going to teach one class,” Brook replied with a bright smile on his face.

When the king first promoted the free and universal education program, leaders in Chambord such as Brook and others didn’t understand it. Now, as these talented kids grew quickly like grasses with enough sunshine, water, and nutrition, the talent count at Chambord increased drastically. These leaders finally understood why the king always said that talent was the most crucial resource in a chaotic era.

Actually, this wasn’t a unique and new idea; anyone who was smart could figure it out after some thinking. However, in this world where bloodline and social status were extremely important, many wise kings and emperors couldn’t break the hierarchy and strict social ladder.

The 16th floor to the 25th floor was an open area.

Different from the five floors at the bottom, there were many carefully designed practice battlefields, magic arrays that could train one’s willpower, magic traps that could test one’s agility and reaction speed, battle stages where people could duel, and training rooms where there were machines that could boost people’s body functionality. Fei personally designed most of these.

Of course, there was more than a dozen bloody arenas.

There were several demons in them such as [Fallens] and [Fallen Shamans]; they were summoned here by Fei.

Since there were [Fallen Shamans] in each arena, it continued to revive the [Fallens] after they were killed.

This design provided the soldiers of Chambord unlimited practice partners.

Before Fei led the troop on the expedition, he spent some of his experience points and summoned more than a dozen [Fallen Shaman] from Diablo World. They were placed in deep pits before, and they allowed saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers to get better with their skills. A qualified saint seiya should be able to kill a [Fallen] with their bare fists.

By fight with these demons, the soldiers’ wills and courage increased as well. They accumulated battle experiences and developed their murderous spirits. When they had to fight against other people, they would be more confident in themselves and perform better.

Only the soldiers who saw the blood of their enemies and themselves were qualified to be called warriors.

Now, the arenas were opened to the university students.

Gradually, a unique tradition appeared. Only the soldiers and students who killed these demons could refer to themselves as ‘king’s warriors’.

The 26th floor to the 31st floor was a buffer area, and there were no facilities. They were filled with deadly magic traps and killing mechanisms.

Different from the traps and mechanisms that were used in the training area, these could easily destroy anyone who was under the level of Six-Star. They were here to stop people from entering the 32nd floor and up.

From the 32nd floor and up, it was the core restricted area of Chambord’s military. Only the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers who passed strict tests and high-level officials of Chambord could go up there. Chambord’s military headquarter, strategic weapon storage, war weapon manufacturing plants, and war weapon research and development lab were located here.

This was the core of Chambord and the most mysterious place in the kingdom.

As Fei walked passed all these unique facilities, the sense of achievement grew stronger and stronger.

In the end, he appeared before a unique teleportation array that was located in the central hall on the 66th floor.

This teleportation array could teleport people into the mysterious space behind the underground cave. There was earthly fire, ice abyss, a ton of [Demons’ Remains], and crazy storms. That place was Fei’s real destination of this trip.

There were too many mysteries that Fei had to solve.
