Garon ordered the black lion to fly towards the foot of the Kingdom's Mountain. The Wolf Riders behind him slowly followed.
The Giant Wolf Pack was one of the monster tribes that Demon Phoenix and the rest had subdued during the seal. The leader was a Giant Golden Wolf, who had been fighting with the Moon Scar for thousands of years.
Standing on the back of the black lion, Garon looked down.
From time to time, there would be civilians and people in the convoy looking up. Their faces were filled with admiration and envy. Some of them did not notice and continued to do their own things with their heads down.
The farmers were still farming in the fields. The herb-gatherers were carrying baskets on their backs as they shuttled back and forth between the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, a few flying creatures would fly below him. Some of them were flying out of the Kingdom, while others were flying back to the Kingdom from the outside.
When they were a few hundred meters away from the Kingdom, a large group of people in black robes had already gathered at the foot of the mountain road. They were looking in Garon's direction from afar. The surrounding environment was also temporarily affected. Those who wanted to go up the mountain were temporarily blocked off. A group of people had already gathered outside the blockade. They seemed to be watching the show.
Among the group of people in black robes waiting at the foot of the mountain, there were two leaders. The rest were mostly young people. There were also a few guards in black armor around them. Their faces could not be seen clearly under their helmets.
As soon as they saw the black lion's huge body descending slowly, the leader of the group immediately raised his hand. With a swoosh, he released a white blanket and shot it out. It was accurately placed under the four feet of the black lion.
The white carpet that was hundreds of meters long was extremely eye-catching in the air, not to mention the huge and eye-catching black lion. More and more people gathered around to watch the show. There were also people hovering in the air to watch the show.
"Long time no see, Elder Blizzard." Garon recognized the identity of the two leaders at a glance. One was Blizzard and the other was Wukang. However, Wukang was wearing a veil that covered half of his face. The face under the veil was faintly bruised and swollen.
"Palace Master, you've finally returned to the palace." Blizzard welcomed him with a laugh.
Bang!
The black lion stepped heavily on the white carpet and landed on the ground.
The surrounding disciples in black all bowed and shouted in unison.
"Welcome back, Palace Master!"
His voice was deafening and imposing.
Over a hundred people shouted in unison and lined up to welcome them. This kind of momentum immediately caused the surrounding onlookers to whisper to each other. In just a short while, several hundred people had already gathered at the entrance of the mountain. Many of them were merchant groups that were going in and out of the Royal City to trade and deliver goods. There were also noble carriages that were going in and out of the Royal City, as well as members of other forces. However, most of them were ordinary civilians.
Most of them were farmers who went to the market in the morning to sell ingredients, meat, and vegetables, as well as ox carts that transported necessities.
There were four entrances and exits to the capital, and this was only one of them. However, the flow of people here was extremely shocking. In less than ten minutes, several hundred people had gathered, and it looked like there were even more people surging behind.
Compared to the daily flow of over a hundred thousand people in and out of the Royal Capital, the gathering of over a hundred people was like a small wave in the ocean.
After welcoming Garon and the others, the group of black-robed men quickly led the group of wolf riders onto the road. All the pedestrians consciously made way for them. During this time, there were even two civilians who rushed forward to complain, but they were stopped by the black-armored guards.
The appearance and departure of this group was just a small disturbance in the flow of people in the capital.
The spies of the other three major forces also quickly passed on the news of Garon's return to the upper echelons of the Royal City.
The population of the Royal City was increasing, and the disturbance in the outside world had once caused a large number of civilians to rush to the Sanctuary.
Blizzard and Wukang accompanied Garon back to the palace district, and then took their leave to arrange the rest of the matters. Lala, who had been waiting at the palace gate, took over the trivial matters of welcoming them.
Ivycius, who had been in seclusion all this time, also came out to welcome them. Following him was a group of upper echelon elders within the palace. The three elders, Angel, Skyharp, and Demonian were all present, and behind them was a large group of core students within the palace. The three grandmaster disciples that Garon had recruited were also present, and there was also a young man in white beside them. Behind these four were the Four Heavenly Generals, the Black Armored Guards, and then a large group of other students and disciples, as well as the team from the Technique Hall.
The majestic group of several hundred people escorted Garon back to the Black Swamp Hall in the palace district.
Sitting on the main seat of the Black Hall, Garon glanced at the two rows of elders beside him.
The two rows of elders were all present, and they sat on both sides. Behind them stood their own disciples, followed by the four core disciples and the Four Directions Heavenly Generals. There were no more seats behind them, and only the second-grade disciples stood in two rows. These were arranged according to their rankings, and not randomly.
Everyone's clothes were pitch black, but the insignia they wore were different. They all had a silver nine-headed snake as their insignia, and those who could enter the hall had at least five dragon heads and above. The elders all had eight dragon heads, and only Garon alone had nine dragon heads.
Garon sat on the high seat, and behind him stood Demon Phoenix and his three subordinates. This was a position that he had personally arranged. Demon Phoenix and the others were almost completely traumatized by him, and in the entire palace, only he could suppress them, so they were a relatively independent third force. Other than the two forces led by Ivycius and Blizzard, he also had a more convenient third party as a check and balance.
"While I was in Daniela, did anything unusual happen in the palace?" Garon glanced at the entire place. Having already entered the fifth form, he was no longer as powerful as before, and was now completely like a normal person, calm and indifferent. It was impossible to tell that he was born in a high position or had powerful strength.
The elders of the Seven Nights Tower exchanged obscure glances, and did not speak. Over this period of time, they had tasted the sweetness of success. With the help of the Black Swamp Palace's growing influence, they only needed to give the order for countless forces to extend out to help them search for whatever they wanted. Compared to the past when they had to do it themselves, it was more than just slightly more convenient. Although they had to fulfill their duties while enjoying their power, but those duties were only to easily strike out when needed, and the time and energy spent was not even worth mentioning.
This was especially the case for the Angel of the Night, who was now partying almost every night. She had purchased a large garden manor in the Royal Capital, where she kept more than ten beautiful male dogs and dozens of beautiful young slaves. She spent all day with the other high-ranking female members of the Royal Capital, indulging in pleasure and partying every night.
Blizzard, on the other hand, would run over to Grand Duke Benoc's side every now and then to exchange experiences. Recently, that side had also recruited a few expert totem users, and in addition to the fact that Benoc already had top-notch totem users under his command, it was a rare opportunity for him to have fun, and he didn't stay in the Black Swamp Palace that often.
Enchanted Anjiad, on the other hand, was addicted to communicating with the technicians and forgers in the Technique Hall. He had an extraordinary interest in biological modification. In the past, he did not have the time or energy, but now that he had joined the Black Swamp Palace, he did not lack anything, and had a lot of free time to research his own interests. He even picked out a few disciples who were equally passionate about modification from the many students to be his assistants.
Ivycius was still fusing totems, sitting on his seat with his eyes closed, still hugging the white longsword, but his aura was getting closer and closer to the fifth form's fusion power. Garon could tell at a glance, that as long as he passed this fusion threshold, this White Rose Sword Saint would be able to break through to fifth form.
But this threshold was different for totem users, and he passed it so quickly because of a few reasons.
Firstly, the Nine-Headed Hydra's potential was not enough, so it was much easier to level up and fuse.
Secondly, his own level had coincidentally increased by a level, and reached a level similar to Phiroth. He named it the Dragon Mirror level, taking half from the Nine-Headed Hydra and half from the Mirror.
After leveling up, the Flash Barrier was not very useful anymore. When he was fighting the Cthulhu King, he used the Flash Barrier, but it only lasted for a moment before it was destroyed by the violent red light. If he did not withdraw it quickly, this heirloom would have been completely destroyed.
Although this thing seemed to have no upper limit, it was still only at the fifth form middle level. When he first got it, he felt that it was very suitable to protect him during the fusion period, but now that he had passed it, it was not very useful anymore.
"The other three parties in the parliament are all making big moves, I wonder if our Black Swamp Palace is also …?" Skyharp glanced at the rest, and when no one spoke, she spoke first.
"Big moves?" Garon smiled, now that he had broken through to fifth form, he was already standing at the peak of the entire East Continent. He did not care too much about what the other three major forces were doing. "Don't worry about them, let's do our own thing. How many people has the palace recruited? "
"Excluding the guards and servants, there are a total of 2315 people in the Black Swamp Palace, and these are the latest statistics. Among them, there are about 2000 people who are students. Most of them are students who were recruited after the Palace Master left, and the latest ranking of the students is … "Lala reported softly behind Garon.
Garon nodded slowly as he listened, and had a new understanding of the palace's development after he left.
The Kingdom's policies had many results, developing agriculture and industry, encouraging childbirth, treating civilians well, and increasing trade and commerce. The entire Kingdom had also established a large number of hunting teams, hunting for edible mutated creatures as meat, and some people were also researching how to domesticate mutated creatures as livestock. Without the destruction of war and monsters, the Kingdom's development seemed to be thriving.
A few days ago, the First Princess had roped in some strong civilian totem users and exiled noble totem users, and established an organization called the Pearl Party. The Party's purpose was to build a world where men and women were equal, and there were no boundaries. It had roped in many female totem users and forgers.
The Fourth Prince responded decisively, and established the Prosper Society, with the mission of making Kovitan prosper, roping in large numbers of wandering totem users.
Both parties were fighting fiercely, and started to compete with each other. Hunting strong mutated beasts, harvesting rare plants and ores, holding mock war exercises, and other activities.
The third party, the various guild alliances, were going back and forth between the two parties, trying to gain benefits from the two princes who both wanted to take over Kovitan.
While they were competing fiercely over there, the Black Swamp Palace did not make any big moves other than the initial commotion of capturing the Poisonous Old Lady. Every day, if they were not resting and recuperating, they were training their disciples. The entire Black Swamp Palace was maintained by the profits from the auction houses and the large number of shops under them, their main source of goods was the production of the Technique Hall, and the gains from the disciples' training outside.
"So, the system I wanted has been successfully created?" Garon asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The person in charge of the Technique Hall, Kling Master An, answered, "I named it the Nine Snakes System, and it has completed the Palace Master's request very accurately, after many tests, there are no problems at all, and it is now partially running."
"Nine Snakes? That's right. The Palace encourages the disciples to go out and train, and we can also accept missions from outside forces, and if the Palace Elders need anything, they can also post missions on the system, and provide rewards themselves. This platform system can be used as a tool to exchange resources, and the best tool to allocate resources. "Garon nodded.
After getting a general understanding of the recent developments, Garen shifted his gaze to the students and disciples.
"The top three from the previous ranking competition, please step forward."
