Chapter 922 – Chapter 912: Exploring Secrets

“I have something to do. I will meet you here in three days. What do you think?”Dudian wasn’t going to bring her into the city. He was going to smuggle her into the city, it was inevitable that she would see something if he brought her along. He felt that he should be able to find out what he wanted in three days. After all, there was an abyss in the God’s wall. There was no obstruction for him.

Phinea was a bit surprised. She didn’t expect that Dudian would part ways with her so soon. It seemed that it was not convenient for her to know what Dudian was going to do. She was smart enough not to show her curiosity, she naturally replied: “No problem. I will wait for you here.”

“Alright.”Dudian took Aisha and turned to leave.

Phisenia’s eyes lit up as she looked at Dudian’s back. He didn’t even express his hospitality as a landlord. It seemed a bit rude. was there something else going on?

After saying goodbye to Phisenia, Dudian walked around the moat. It didn’t take long before he arrived at the gate of the Imperial City. There were many people here. From time to time, he could see a large number of refugees. Some of them were dressed in shabby clothes, it seemed that they had migrated from places that had suffered from war and famine. Some of them were noble lords’carriages. There were also knights who used huge beast carriages to transport the corpses of beasts.

Dudian disguised himself and brought Aisha into the city with the refugees.

“Get lost! Get lost!”

“The entrance fee is ten copper coins. What? No Money? Get lost!”

“Scram, scumbags. It stinks. Don’t dirty the land here!”

Under the scolding of the city guards, some of the poor refugees were stopped. Some of them tried to barge in in despair, but were kicked away by the guards. They fell to the ground and could not get up for a long time. There were also some women carrying four or five-year-old children. Tears filled their eyes as they begged and sobbed. In the end, not only did they not receive sympathy from the guards, but they received even more hateful gazes and vicious curses.

Some of the refugees who had money rushed into the city, not daring to provoke trouble.

Dudian looked at the refugees who were stopped. He didn’t say anything. He paid the entrance fee for himself and Aisha and followed the other refugees into the city.

“If you don’t let us into the city, we will starve to death. I beg adults…”

“Humph, if we let you into the city, then you will be stealing everywhere. Sooner or later, you will be beaten to death. Sooner or later, you will die. Now is the time to die!”

Dudian walked in the shadows for a long time. Finally he came to the main street of the imperial city. The sun was shining and the street was full of vitality and noise.

Dudian looked around when he entered the city. He didn’t see any wanted posters. The reason why he was disguised was because he was worried that Monica would put him on the wanted list, it was inevitable that he would attract Monica’s attention when he entered the city. Although he wasn’t afraid of her combat ability but if she returned early then there would be enough time to set up a trap to deal with him.

He didn’t even look for the previous noble Lord because he was worried that Monica would place spies around him.

“I should first inquire about her news. If she didn’t come back and died outside the giant wall then it would be much easier.”Dudian thought as he walked along the street towards the central area of the Imperial City.

Dudian’s powerful hearing allowed him to listen to the conversations around him. Moreover his brain could automatically process the conversation. He could identify which direction the voice came from and who was speaking.

Dudian heard the news about Monica before he reached the central area of the Imperial City. It was coming from a tavern. It seemed that the people who spoke were hired thugs who were working for the nobles, they were talking about Barker’s whereabouts. Some said that Barker had died outside the giant wall. Some said that Barker had led Monica and other experts to hunt outside the giant wall and hadn’t returned yet, they talked about some strange actions in the imperial city in recent days such as the removal of the Head Knight of a certain royal knights and the promotion of a noble title.

Dudian stopped and listened for a while. Soon he had an answer.

Monica had returned and seemed to have taken control of the major forces in the wall. At present the entire imperial city seemed calm but in fact there was an undercurrent. From the conversations of the few nobles who lived at the bottom level Dudian found that he had overlooked one thing. It was the power and foundation that Barker and Holaney had left behind, all of these would become obstacles for Monica to rule the Imperial City!

She wanted to be on guard against him and gather the forces of the imperial city to deal with him. It was likely that she was too weak to do so. No wonder he didn’t see the wanted notice at the entrance of the city. He thought that Monica didn’t want to alert the enemy. But now it seemed that.., she hadn’t completely controlled the army of the Imperial City!

Maybe she came back earlier than him.

However, as the only Abyss left in the Imperial City, Monica didn’t use force to rule the wall. It was out of his expectations. Was there another abyss? Or was she concerned about something?

After thinking for a moment, Dudian gradually understood that Monica was different from him. He could use force to rule Sylvia because he never planned to stay in Sylvia, sylvia wasn’t his only home. He could leave at any time and abandon her.

But Monica couldn’t. She was born and raised here. She was likely to stay in the wall for the rest of her life. She wouldn’t be able to run away if the messenger of God came to visit her!

Although the Abyss was strong but it was an ant-like existence in front of the God’s kingdom.

As the Lord of the Abyss, people like Barker and Aristotle only needed an edict from the Kingdom of God to go and meet them. It was clear how low their status was!

Dudian sighed in his heart. Although he didn’t know if his guess was accurate or not, but it was 80% possible that it was so. It was absolutely stupid for Monica to forcefully rule at this time. Once the Kingdom of God found out.., they would think that she was the one who murdered Barker and usurped the position of the wall master. If she continued to keep a low profile then the Kingdom of God would send the news of Barker’s death to her. Perhaps the Kingdom of God would reward her for being the only abyss, as long as her brain wasn’t damaged she would choose the second option. She would have to endure for a few more years.

Monica was worried that Dudian wouldn’t die and would come back to plunder the rare resources in the wall.

Dudian shook his head and didn’t bother about Monica anymore. His goal was to find the secrets of the temple. The temple could sell legendary soul worms at will. It was incredible for Dudian, even if there were three abysses in the temple they wouldn’t be extravagant enough to sell legendary soul worms at will. There must be some hidden secrets.

That night, Dean let Aisha stay in a hotel to rest. He sneaked into a large temple. At this time, many temple staff were off duty. Only a few people were on night duty.

Through thermal vision and X-ray vision, Dean saw that there were seven or eight experts hidden in the temple. There was also a master overseeing the temple. He was a bit shocked by the strength of the temple, the strength of the temple wasn’t inferior to any of the Witcher’s legions!

If the temple had the abyss, it would be the most powerful force in the giant wall!

Dudian became more and more careful as he thought of this. Who could ensure that Monica was the only one left in the temple?

He carefully tried to sneak into the inner hall. However, as he stepped into the corridor, the eight experts and the master who were hiding in the dark suddenly changed their positions, they rushed towards his position.

“Exposed?”Dudian blinked but sighed in his heart.

Although the splitter’s attack was strong and its perception wasn’t weak, but its stealth was relatively poor. There should be a very good perceptive magic mark master among them.
