"I still have something to do. Let's meet here three days later. What do you think?" Dean didn't plan to bring Felicia into the city. He wanted to sneak into the city and she would inevitably see something. He felt that he should be able to find out what he wanted in three days. After all, Monica was the only abyss abyss in the God's Wall.
Felicia was surprised as she didn't expect that Dean would part ways with her so soon. It seemed that Dean didn't want her to know what he was going to do. She was smart and didn't show any curiosity. She naturally replied: "No problem. I'll wait for you here."
"Alright." Dean turned around and left with Lisa.
Felicia's eyes lit up as she looked at Dean's back. He didn't even express his hospitality as a host. It seemed to be a bit rude. Was there something else?
Dean walked around the moat after saying goodbye to Felicia. It didn't take long for him to reach the gate of the King's City. There were a lot of people here. From time to time, he could see a large number of refugees. Some of them were ragged. They seemed to have migrated from places that had suffered from war and famine. Some were carriages of nobles and lords. There were also knights who used huge carriages to transport the carcasses of beasts.
Dean disguised himself a little and mixed in with the refugees to enter the city.
"Get out! Get out! "
"The entrance fee is ten copper coins. What? No money? Get out! "
"Get out of here! It stinks! Don't dirty the ground!"
Some refugees who didn't have money were stopped by the guards. Some desperate people tried to force their way in but were kicked away by the guards. They fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. There were also some women who were holding children of four or five years old. They were crying and begging for mercy. However, the guards didn't sympathize with them. Instead, they looked at them with more disgust and cursed them.
Some refugees who had extra money paid the entrance fee to enter the city. They didn't dare to provoke trouble.
Dean looked at the refugees who were stopped by the guards. He didn't say anything. He paid the entrance fee for himself and Aisha and went in with the other refugees.
"We will starve to death if you don't let us into the city. I beg you …"
"Hmph, if I let you enter the city, you'll steal everywhere. Sooner or later, you'll be beaten to death. You're going to die sooner or later anyway. Go away now!"
The sounds of begging and scolding were getting further and further away. Dean walked for a long time in the shadow of the wall. Finally, he came to the street of the King's city. The sun was shining brightly and the street was full of vitality and noise.
Dean looked around when he entered the city. He didn't see any wanted posters or other notices. The reason why he disguised himself was because he was worried that Monica would put him on the wanted list of the entire city. If he entered the city, it would inevitably attract Monica's attention. Although he wasn't afraid of her fighting ability, but if she returned early, she would have enough time to lay a trap to deal with him.
Because of this, he did not even look for the noble lord from before, as he was worried that Monica had planted a spy by his side.
"Let's inquire about her first. If she didn't come back and died outside the giant wall then it would save a lot of trouble." Dean wandered along the street towards the central area of the city.
Dean's powerful hearing allowed him to hear all the conversations around him. Moreover, his brain could automatically process and distinguish the direction of the voices and who was talking. It wasn't just a mess of noises.
Dean didn't reach the central area of the King's city. He heard the news about Monica coming from a pub. It seemed that a few thugs who worked for the nobles were talking about Baker. According to them, Baker's whereabouts were unknown. Some people said that Baker had died outside the giant wall. Some people said that Baker had led Monica and other strong people outside the giant wall to hunt and hadn't returned yet. They talked about some strange actions in the King's city in recent days. For example, a head knight of the palace was removed from his position, a noble was promoted and so on.
Dean stopped and listened for a while. He soon got the answer.
Monica had come back and seemed to have taken control of the major forces inside the giant wall. At present, the entire King's city seemed to be calm but the undercurrent was surging. Dean found out that he had ignored one thing from the conversation between the thugs. That was the power and foundation left by Baker and Horani. These would become obstacles for Monica to rule the King's city!
She wanted to guard against him and gather the power of King City to deal with him, but it was likely that she was powerless to do so. No wonder he didn't see a wanted notice at the city entrance. He thought that Monica didn't want to alert him, but now it seemed that she didn't have full control of the King City army!
Perhaps she didn't come back early but just a little earlier than him.
However, as the only abyss left in the King's city, it was beyond his expectation that Monica couldn't use force to rule the wall. Was there another abyss here? Or was there something she was worried about?
After thinking for a moment, Dean gradually understood. Monica was different from him. He could use force to rule Silvia but that was because he never intended to stay in Silvia. Silvia wasn't his only home. He could abandon Silvia at any time.
But Monica couldn't. She was born and raised here. It was likely that she would have to stay in the God's wall for the rest of her life. Once the messenger of the Kingdom of God came to visit her she wouldn't be able to run away!
Although the abyss was strong but it was like an ant in front of the Kingdom of God.
Barkel and Aristotle, who were the Lords of the Abyss and the Great Wall, only needed an edict from the Divine Kingdom, and they had to pay their respects to the Great Wall.
Dean sighed as he thought of this. Although he didn't know if his guess was correct but there was an 80% chance that it was the case. It was absolutely stupid for Monica to forcibly rule at this time. Once the Kingdom of God was aware of it, they would think that she had murdered Barker and usurped the position of wall lord. If she continued to act low-key and waited for the messenger of the Kingdom of God to come and convey the news of Baker's death then the Kingdom of God would give her the position of the lord of the wall because she was the only abyss. As long as one's brain wasn't damaged they would choose the second option. It was nothing more than a few more years of patience.
Monica was in a dilemma. She wanted to endure but she was worried that Dean wasn't dead and would come back to plunder the rare resources in the God's wall.
Dean shook his head and no longer cared about Monica. His goal was to explore the secrets of the Temple. It was incredible for Dean that the Temple could sell legendary soul worms at will. Even if there were three abyss in the God's wall and they worked for the Temple at the same time, they wouldn't be so extravagant that they could sell legendary soul worms at will. There must be some secrets.
That night Dean let Aisha stay in a hotel to rest. He sneaked into a large Temple. At this time most of the Temple's staff were off work and only a few people were on the night shift.
Through x-ray vision and thermal vision, Dean saw that there were seven or eight masters hidden in the Temple. There was also a master. Such power shocked him. So many masters were gathered in a Temple. The strength of the Temple was not inferior to any of the Demon Legion under Horani and others!
If the Temple had the abyss, it would be the most powerful force in the God's wall!
Thinking of this, Dean became more and more careful. Who could guarantee that Monica was the only abyss master here?
He cautiously used all of his abilities to sneak into the inner palace. However, as soon as he stepped into a corridor, the eight Inner Desolate experts and the Ruler who were hiding in the dark suddenly changed their positions and rushed towards him.
"Exposed?" Dean blinked slightly, but sighed in his heart.
