A Boxing Champion pushed two square metal boxes to the two little fellows and opened them softly. The most intense aroma immediately burst out. Inside the boxes were colorful, steaming food.
It was not the sticky, filthy, and shapeless synthetic food, but the pure, natural meat from which the texture of the fiber could be seen. There were also vegetables that were a hundred times more precious than meat!
Green brilliance immediately beamed out of the eyes of the two little fellows.
In the Land of Sins, although pure, natural meat was rare, and there were still hundreds of kinds of mutated beasts that could be hunted and butchered, vegetables were something that many people had never heard of. The relief assets that the Heavenly Rails threw down were mostly synthetic food of dubious origins. Although they had enough energy, they tasted like wax. Vegetables and grains were legendary foods. Many people had never had a bite of them before they died.
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other in bewilderment. Thunderous noises immediately echoed from their stomachs.
"Let's eat."
A Boxing Champion made a 'please' gesture, truly like a friendly uncle next door.
Li Yao was truly creeped out. He did not understand what A Boxing Champion's purpose was. Even if the guy had seen through his disguise, many bandits and thugs in the Land of Sins had a lot of enemies. It was not a big deal for him to disguise himself and change his name. Why did he have to get to the bottom of it at such a critical moment?
However, with A Boxing Champion's strength and power, if he really wanted to get to the bottom of something, Han Te and the Coloured Glaze would not be able to resist at all.
Li Yao sighed and secretly sent a message to Han Te and the Coloured Glaze's brains. "Just eat. Answer whatever A Boxing Champion asks dutifully. Don't think that you can fool him."
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze swallowed hard at the same time and immediately gobbled up the food.
A Boxing Champion was a spectral Cultivator who directly relied on crystals and spiritual liquids as the source of energy. Naturally, he could not eat anything. He observed the two little fellows' gluttonous manners and did not say anything until their mouths were full of meat and vegetables. "I read the files that you filled in. You said that you were from a place named the Village of Peace near Double Dragons City at the edge of the Thousand Lakes Area. That place should be a 'Desolate World', right? But I was the one who sent your invitation card to Double Dragons City. "
The two little fellows immediately stopped chewing and blinked their eyes quickly.
"Don't be scared.
Don't be scared, "A Boxing Champion said casually." In the Land of Sins, it is only natural that the strong prey on the weak. I sent out invitation cards to countless forces in the Land of Sins, summoning all the heroes of the world to attack Liberty City together. But to be honest, I don't really care who comes with the invitation cards in the end.
"Those who are capable of crossing the entire Bloody Plateau to reach Great Iron City with the invitation cards are experts who are qualified to share the glory of conquering Liberty City with me!
"On the other hand, the garbage who can't even keep the invitation cards will only be mobsters even if they come. What can they do except to disrupt the morale of the soldiers?
"Therefore, it doesn't matter who your invitation cards belong to at the beginning. After all, they are yours since they are in your hands.
"I'm just a little curious. Although Double Dragons City is just an unknown town at the edge of the Bloody Worlds that barely makes a living by the trade, the ten or so gangs that lurk there have all fought their way out of mountains of corpses and oceans of blood. They are all desperadoes who kill without blinking.
"The Village of Peace, on the other hand … is just a village of civilians in the Desolate Worlds, isn't it? However strong you are, how were you able to steal their invitation cards?
"Also, it's been almost a month since you came to Great Iron City, but not a third bandit from Double Dragons City has shown up. It is obvious that the gangs that lurk there have all been annihilated by you, which makes me even more curious. How exactly did you do it?"
Han Te chewed hard and struggled to swallow the meat. He stammered, "The gangs of Double Dragons City intended to capture the sinners from dozens of villages as cannon fodder. We had no choice but to fight them! Later, well, it seems that some of them wanted to join the leader of Liberty City, so they had internal strife. They fought each other until both sides suffered heavy losses. It was only when we took advantage of the situation that we were able to completely suppress the gangs! "
"I think so too."
The Fist King nodded, hinting for the two little fellows to continue eating. Then, he suddenly changed the topic. "However, are those cunning gangs so easily engaged in a large-scale battle to the point where both parties are exhausted and heavily wounded? There must be a key to the battle. Perhaps, it is the spiritual puppet next to you. "
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze had just taken a breath in relief when they shuddered in fear because of A Boxing Champion's words. The food was stuck in their throats, and they were blushing because of the suffocation.
Li Yao, however, was not surprised. It was already rather unbelievable that the Village of Peace had defeated so many gangs in Double Dragons City in the first place. As long as somebody locked onto the target, they could easily find a lot of suspicious points.
He was more and more curious about A Boxing Champion's purpose.
On A Boxing Champion's iron mask, there were almost ten thousand iron fibers that were as thin as hair. They could make the movement of 'smiling' vividly and even trigger 'scorching' eyes. Staring at Li Yao, he said to the two little fellows, "Because their performance is not stable enough and they are hard to control, spiritual puppets that boast automatic learning and upgrading functions are few and far between nowadays. I didn't know that such a desolate village could boast such a well-maintained one. Where did you get it?"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other. Under Li Yao's instruction, they replied dutifully, "We picked it up from the ruins not long ago. It seems to be a war puppet from before 'Judgment Day'. It has a rather advanced military crystal processor embedded inside. All in all, we do not need to control it specifically. As long as we give it a general command, it will complete everything automatically."
"Therefore —"
A Boxing Champion looked at Li Yao and said, "To some extent, you can communicate with other people in the way of human beings, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yao replied coldly.
His patience and curiosity had both reached their limits.
His crystal cameras and A Boxing Champion's were vibrating at a similar frequency, raising invisible sparks in midair again like a shower of shooting stars.
Li Yao was 100% certain that A Boxing Champion had seen through the weirdness of him and knew that he was definitely not a common spiritual puppet or war machine.
But out of his expectation, A Boxing Champion did not push him further. Retracting his scorching eyes, he shifted the topic back to the two little fellows. "I don't think that the two of you are passionate about power and slaughter. Then, what do you want from the war? Tell me, and I may be able to help you. "
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other, finding it hard to believe their ears. They felt that they had been hit head-on by a tank named 'luck'.
Han Te hurried to clean his mouth and spat out the rice. "We — we want to ask A Boxing Champion to protect the Village of Peace. As long as your flag is raised above the Village of Peace, no gang will dare to bully us!"
"Is that all?" A Boxing Champion said casually.
"Also —"
Han Te hesitated for a moment. Then, intense brilliance beamed out of his eyes as he said firmly, "I want to go to Manjusaka, the City in the Sky. Then, I will only have a chance if I join your army and help you conquer Liberty City!"
"Exactly."
Perhaps because the Fist King's gentle words and the delicious food had brought them closer, Liu Li summoned her courage and said, "I want to go to 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', too. If you can really take down Liberty City, please find a way to help us go there. We're counting on you!"
"The City in the Sky?"
Looking at the two little fellows' excitement, A Boxing Champion's eyes dimmed. He asked in disappointment, "Why do you want to go there at the risk of your life? Do you want to be the high and mighty angels, too?"
"That's not it."
Looking at his fists that were clenched hard, Han Te said, "I don't care about angels at all. I only want to go to Manjusaka to find out the truth!"
A Boxing Champion was slightly dazed. His crystal cameras were flashing so hard that they were almost burning. "What truth?"
"My sister went to the City in the Sky three years ago, and there has been no news about her since then. I want to go to the City in the Sky to find my sister and ask her what happened in the past three years!"
Han Te said solemnly. "Also, not just my sister, a lot of people who claimed to have ascended to Manjusaka have barely returned. What's going on? Is Manjusaka so good that everybody forgets their hometown and their family?
"Also, the entire world that we live in, the desolate land, the sealed sky, and everything else, I want to find out the truth!
"Ever since I was little, I've been standing on the ground and craning my neck to look at the high and mighty 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. Now, I'm eager to know what it will be like if I look down at the land from 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'!"
"This is really …"
Subtle ripples spread out of A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras. He turned his metal head to the Coloured Glaze and asked, "Little girl, are you the same?"
"I'm different from my senior brother."
The Coloured Glaze shook her head and said casually, "I'm told that the angels are omnipotent. I want to go to Manjusaka and find a way to grow Gold Barley all over the Land of Sins!"
A Boxing Champion was dazed again. "Gold Barley?"
"Yes. That's it."
