The news of the invasion of the army of the Abyss World had spread in the Holy Crown City. This kind of thing could not be hidden. All the Mage Towers were in a defensive state 24 hours a day, which required a lot of high-quality magic crystals. If there was no threat, of course, the consumption would not be in vain. However, the people living in the Holy Crown City did not panic. After all, they had a powerful Lord, the Holy See, and the Elves as allies. People believed that they could continue to live a stable and peaceful life.
Because of the chaos in the continent, most people's knowledge had been limited to one city or one region. Even Cold Shadow City, which belonged to the same region, felt particularly distant in people's minds. Not to mention that Han Jin's' magic attainment 'was indeed outstanding. Therefore, the people of the Holy Crown City believed that Han Jin was definitely one of the strongest people in the continent, and there was no need to worry about the future. Even Grand Duke Solomon, who was known as the light of magic, tried to marry his daughter to him …
However, in the past few days, several bad news had spread to people's ears. One was that Lord Raphael and the Pope of the Holy See had a falling out. It was said that under the influence of a mysterious person, Lord Raphael, who had always been peaceful, changed his attitude and became particularly aggressive. In a meeting, Lord Raphael was so angry that he kicked over the table on the spot. Another was that Lord Raphael's two fiancées also had a conflict. The Chief Magistrate, Lord Schumann, was celebrating his birthday, so he specially held a banquet in the Night of Bliss. As the new noble of the Holy Crown City, Schumann had a great reputation and even invited Sunier and Yalina. Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the banquet was not bad at first, but later, after drinking some wine, Sunier and Yalina quarreled over some trivial matters. The two girls were not willing to give in. Fortunately, Schumann saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly sent people to find Gao Bin and Majordomo Gail. Gao Bin and Majordomo Gail were both legendary figures in the world. Naturally, they wouldn't fall out with each other just because of personal feelings. They were very harmonious with each other. One scolded his sister, and the other forcefully dragged Yalina away. Thus, the matter came to an end.
There were always many smart people in the world. Some people found that Gao Bin and Majordomo Gail, who used to eat together every day, separated on the second day. They sat at two separate tables and did not speak to each other for the whole day. Although they kept talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very subtle.
The strange thing was that the news of the invasion of the Abyss World only made people talk about it for a few days, but what happened later shocked people. It was not that people in the Holy Crown City were ignorant of right and wrong, but the key was education. Only the nobles could enjoy a systematic education, while the commoners had very little access to education. For the latter, they could only learn about the races of the Abyss from the bards. It was undeniable that most legends severely distorted historical facts. The heroes were like brilliant saints, while the enemies were often clumsy, stupid, and incompetent. Even the most ferocious enemies were somewhat comical in their fierceness.
Did they need to worry about the stupid and incompetent enemies? The answer was obvious. It could even be said that the commoners were far more confident in their victory than Han Jin. However, the relationship between Han Jin, the Vatican, and the Elves could affect the future of the Holy Crown City. Through the riot of the believers, people had seen Han Jin's iron fist, and no one wanted to see another storm in the Holy Crown City.
In an inconspicuous corner of the Holy Crown City, an inconspicuous inn slowly closed its door. Closely after that, a shabby carriage quietly left the inn...
It finally dawned on Han Jin that secrets were the easiest to deteriorate.
After he rescued Green, he had made up his mind to only tell Guevara and Jedis that they had to be careful to ensure the safety of the Holy Crown City. However, when it came to the operation, he found that it was very difficult.
To deal with the Dragon City and the Dragon Realm, a large number of Demon Annihilation Crossbows were needed. That was unrealistic. Besides, Green had already expressed his attitude. If he helped, it would be a favor. If he didn't help, there was nothing he could say, because they were even.
In the Holy Crown City, the most qualified person to preside over the production of the Demon Annihilation Crossbows was Yalina, followed by Hogan. Let Hogan do it? Not to mention whether he could handle it alone, sooner or later, the Demon Annihilation Crossbows would be known to the world. What would Yalina think if she knew? Well, let Yalina preside over it, but hide it from Sunier. What would Sunier think if she knew? Well, tell Sunier, and tell Sunier to hide it from Gao Bin? And he even told Yalina to hide it from Grand Duke Solomon?
In fact, Han Jin's interpersonal relationships were very complicated. After he took over the Holy Crown City, it became a hodgepodge city. Many forces had representatives here. Yalina and Majordomo Gail came from the Capital of Elements, Gao Bin and Sunier came from the Wild Willow City, Adolf and Jedis represented the Holy See, Dominique was from the Thunder Titan, Dwightsteel, Winston and Saxon were all mercenaries from the Isolated Cliff City, and now the Chamber of Commerce of the Isolated Cliff City had also settled here. Lang Ning was from the Beitman, Alin Ritter was the general of the Kuman City, and there were many others. In short, if they didn't handle it properly, it could cause a rift.
Because of this, Han Jin and Han Jin had a headache for a few days. In the end, it was Han Jin who made the final decision. Since they were friends, he had to trust them. Although everyone's personality was very different, some were calm, some were childish, some were naturally optimistic, and some were shy. Regardless of whether they were mature or not, when it came to a matter of life and death, Han Jin should trust his friends.
Han Jin specially held a core meeting about the Demon Annihilation Crossbows. He told everyone that the famous Grand Magus and Grand Alchemist Zenglin was on the God of War, and asked everyone to keep it a secret no matter what. The meeting room was in an uproar. Everyone's expression was the same. First, they were stunned, then they were ecstatic.
Although the footprints of humans had spread to every corner of the continent and had become the mainstream of the world, the existence of the Dragon race had always been like a huge mountain that pressed down on the heads of humans. Even the great empire that unified the world had to bow down to the Dragon race. At most, they would adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, but they would never dare to openly provoke the Dragon race. Once a war broke out, humans would not be able to withstand it. The Giant Dragons would come and go as they pleased. A large number of Giant Dragons could completely destroy a city in an instant. Moreover, the real deciding factor of a war was the battle between the strongest. In this aspect, humans were at an absolute disadvantage, so they could only endure.
Dragon slayers were often the greatest heroes in people's hearts. This kind of mentality more or less showed the dissatisfaction of humans.
Among everyone, the most excited was Yalina. She had a discerning eye and had wanted the mysterious old man to be her teacher. Now that she knew Zenglin's identity, Yalina's wish was even more urgent.
Solomon's personality was a bit strange. He had never systematically taught Yalina anything, only occasionally giving her a few pointers. Strictly speaking, Yalina's achievements today were almost all self-taught.
This was one of Yalina's regrets in life. Strict fathers and loving mothers were said to be, but Solomon was neither strict nor kind. He almost always had a laissez-faire attitude towards his children, allowing them to grow up freely. Yalina had always wanted to be praised by Solomon, but to this day, she had not been able to achieve it.
Little did they know that what Solomon wanted his descendants to inherit the most was not the attainments in magic, but knowledge. To him, magic was just a carrier to realize his ideals, just like how the body was the carrier of the soul. He had tried, but his children were not cut out for it. In the end, he gave up sadly.
When Yalina received the blueprint of the Demon Annihilation Crossbow, she was even more excited. She immediately locked herself in her room and devoted herself to researching the manufacturing process of the Demon Annihilation Crossbow. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Yalina was obviously angry with Sunier …
Late at night, a man in black quietly boarded the God of War. This person never lived on the God of War. Every time he boarded the ship, he would try his best to hide in his cloak so that others could not see his face. However, in his hand was a token that could only be used on the God of War. The mountain warriors on night duty did not stop him and pretended not to see him.
Han Jin was in his room discussing matters with Han Jin when someone knocked on the door. Following a "come in" from Han Jin, Coutini pushed the door open.
Coutini's character was a bit strange. He had been missing his old master, but Han Jin was very generous. He could accept this kind of nostalgia. Perhaps this was the reason why he had won Coutini's true loyalty.
Coutini usually stayed in front of Zagunéd's grave. Han Jin rarely used him. When he was really needed, Coutini would not refuse Han Jin's call. However, he was not used to cooperating with Han Jin's people. He preferred to work alone or find his own subordinates.
"Sir, the landlady of the Black Pearl Hotel left the Holy Crown City yesterday." Coutini whispered, "I have been following her to the vampires' camp."
Han Jin and Guevara looked at each other and asked slowly, "What did you find?"
"I didn't dare to rush in. Among those vampires, there should be someone as strong as Alquete. I can't hide from them," Coutini replied. "However, when I waited until this morning, I found that those vampires were moving. I guess they are going to do something."
"That's a good thing." Guevara smiled, "We should also respond. If we keep delaying, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. But … they dare to provoke us with this information?"
"They will test us first." Han Jin said faintly, "No matter what our impression of them is, in their eyes, vampires are the most arrogant race. After months of marching, they rushed to the surface to take revenge on me. But they were scared by us … Oh, their pride won't allow it. So, as long as there is a little bit of information that is beneficial to them, it will be a reason for them to stop being patient."
"Vampires have a very long lifespan. Many of them have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Don't underestimate them." Guevara said.
"Have they lived for thousands of years, or have they slept for thousands of years?" Han Jin showed a sarcastic smile, "Is that still considered alive? I have dealt with Alquete before. Hehe, I know them. So be it. Tomorrow, we will take the initiative to attack! "
