Hail the King

Chapter 411: Mystic Ocean

This time, Fei didn’t kill Knite and the four men; he treated them differently compared with the corrupt nobles.

The lives inside this desert city were already fragile. Like winter wheat in a storm, they could be blown away effortlessly. Although Knite wasn’t a great person, he wasn’t guilty enough to be killed. At least this hooligan advanced half of his monthly salary and purchased a boar leg; he was putting some effort into the love he had for Jessica.

Also, Knite didn’t try to harm any of the neighbors; he only exaggerated his power and used the name of King Alexander to threaten them.

Of course, if Fei knew that he was thought of as a pretty boy and a gigolo, he would have treated those five men a little differently.

After those five men disappeared, Jessica, Emile, and the neighbors still couldn’t believe what had happened.

“Those hooligans are gone?”

This outcome was better than the happy ending they could wish for; they felt like they were dreaming.

“From what they said, it seems like Knite won’t be bothering Jessica anymore in the future, and even Emile is about to get promoted,” all the neighbors thought as they looked at Fei with curiosity and respect.

“Haha, don’t look at me like that! I just fooled them! I know a little bit more than you guys, and that was how I saw through Knite’s trick.”

Fei laughed and explained as he made a few exaggerated poses.

Most of the people in the neighborhood were poor and didn’t much knowledge, and Husky who had some understanding of what was going on accepted Fei’s explanation. Only Jessica who had a pair of beautiful eyes was curious, but she held back her curiosity as she smiled and thanked Fei.

At this moment, Fei realized that this girl’s hands were rough; the skin of her hands was like the skin of a carrot. Different from the white and the smooth skin of her face, there were a lot of rough calluses on her hands; they were even rougher than the hands of some of the women in their 40s.

Jessica saw Fei looking at her hands, and a dejected expression appeared on her face. She put her hands behind her back in a hurry, and she turned around and talked to the neighbors with a smile on her face.

Fei felt a heartache after seeing this subtle movement.

From what Knite had said, Fei knew that this girl had been doing a lot of hard labor work, and that was how her hands that should be smooth and soft turned rough and wrinkly. This girl must have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, but she was still able to keep up her optimism; Fei’s impression of her got even better.

Laughter reappeared in the yard.

After Fei bought that boar leg from Knite, he asked Jessica and a few aunties in the neighborhood to cook it. The delicious smell of grilled meat dispersed in the yard; the people in this poor neighborhood rarely got to see meat, let alone eating it. Today, they got to eat a lot of meat, and they felt like they were living in the dreams......

A ton of cooking smokes was slowly rising into the sky, and red clouds could be seen from afar.

Fei felt like he was back on Earth, back to his childhood home.

At this moment, Fei realized how lonely he was since he came to the Azeroth Continent. Although he was the king of a kingdom, he didn’t have parents and siblings in this world. Although he was the king of a kingdom, he had never integrated himself into other people’s personal lives like today.

Time flies when you are having fun!

Soon, the night arrived, and people started fires in the yard. The smile on Fei’s handsome face was lit up by the light of the flames, and it attracted a lot of attention of the young girls......

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, and the ground shook violently.

“What is going on?”

“What happened?”

“God! This direction...... the water wells’ direction? Are the water wells alright?”

The people in the yard were shocked; they got really anxious. If something happened to the water wells, it would be terrible. It was hard to find water in the desert, and it would be hard to dig through the ground to find the groundwater if those water wells collapsed. Without water, the people in Dual-Flags City would die in about ten days.

“Guys, I have something going on, and I’m going to leave now,” Fei said farewells to the people in the yard and walked out. Although it looked slow, he disappeared in just a few seconds; he was really anxious as well.

Among the people in the yard, only Jessica looked in the direction where Fei went.

Only she knew that her simple-minded brother had a unique ability. Although he was straightforward, he had a strong instinct like the Demon Beasts.

He was more likely to get close to people who had good intentions and powerful. Also, his instinct would immediately tell him who had bad intentions, and he would directly express his dislike of those people.

That was a secret that Jessica figured out after years of observations.

“Emile had never been so friendly and intimate towards any strangers who he only met a few times...... but now...... it feels like Emile is treating him like a family member! Who is this man? Although he isn’t that handsome, he makes others feel very comfortable......” Jessica thought to herself.

......

......

“What is going on?”

After Fei left that yard, he switched to Assassin Mode and instantly used all of his power. Like a dash of shadow, he sprinted through streets and alleyways and arrived at the water wells in the shortest amount of time.

Although soldiers were protecting this area, they were in a state of chaos.

The water wells that were calm and peaceful during the day were making a lot of rumbling noises. Like fountains, a lot of water was being jetted into the sky for more than 20 meters tall.

“Pause! Who are you?” a commander shouted as he spotted Fei.

Fei flashed the No.1 Commander’s Token, and that commander immediately knew who Fei was.

“King Alexander!” he said as he was about to single-kneel down.

Fei raised his hand, and an invisible power stopped that commander from kneeling down and following the complicated greeting process.

“Tell me what happened!” Fei quickly asked.

Fei had to be anxious! These water wells were the lifelines of the city! If something wrong happened here, he would be in big trouble!

“We don’t know yet! This had never happened before! Half a minute ago, strange noises sounded in all the water wells, and water started to jet out......” the water was falling from the sky after it was jetted into the air, and that commander quickly reported to Fei as he got soaked.

“Pass my order! Move all the people to the outside of the zone! No one is allowed to enter or leave! Anyone who disobeys this order shall be executed!”

Fei commanded.

Soon, a lot of soldiers appeared and blocked off the paths leading to where the water wells were at; they were tightly questioning and inspecting all the civilians. Also, the soldiers who were guarding the water wells moved to the entryways of the zone.

Fei switched to Barbarian Mode and spread out his spiritual power, and his spiritual power went down into the groundwater through the water wells.

He wanted to know if something strange happened in the groundwater.

After all, what was happening was too strange; it felt like there was a monster in the groundwater making a mess.

As Fei’s spiritual power got deeper and deeper into the groundwater, he had a better understanding of the underground structure.

The water wells were all about 400 meters deep, and the walls on the inside of the water wells were made from a sand mixture. After more than 20 years of being pressured by the water, the walls were all solid. When the water jetted out of the water wells at a fast pace, they were still crystal clear and not muddy at all.

Fei’s spiritual power continued to dive deeper into the water well; the water well was like a long tunnel that led to nowhere.

Deeper...... Deeper......

Suddenly, the walls disappeared, and Fei’s spiritual power arrived at somewhere broad.

The spiritual power didn’t have things blocking its way anymore.

Fei suddenly realized that the groundwater connected to the water wells was vast! In fact, it shouldn’t be called groundwater but rather underground ocean! Even though Fei’s spiritual power was massive, he still couldn’t tell how big this ocean was.

It was unimaginable!

It was a miracle!

After some more scanning, Fei realized that there was a force coming from the bottom of the ocean, and that created a ton of undercurrents; these undercurrents moved the water around rapidly, and the water that hit the walls of the water wells were jetted upward.
