Hail the King

Chapter 593: Lampard’s Shock

Fei looked around at the items that Mephisto dropped, and he was slightly disappointed.

[Lord of Pain], Mephisto, was one of the most powerful demons in hell, but it didn’t give Fei any good items after it was killed. Almost all of them were orange level 6 items, and the green level 7 set items that Fei was hoping for didn’t appear.

“Could it be that all my luck was depleted from getting [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] last time?” the king thought.

Since none of the items interested Fei, he didn’t even use [Identify Scrolls] on them. He threw them into his storage space causally and planned to sell them to the NPCs for gold coins.

At this moment, a golden light beam shot down from the sky.

The golden liquid in Fei’s body reached a limit, and the barbarian character leveled up again. After reaching level 71, the golden energy cleansed Fei’s body and made him feel very comfortable. All the injuries that he got from battling with the monsters recovered, and all the blood stains on his clothes were removed as well.

Fei was back to his prime.

After distributing the attribute points and the skill points according to his plan, Fei and Elena left this place quickly.

Then, they found a pond outside the [Durance of Hate]. With Fei guarding her, Elena took off her armors boldly in front of her lover and washed the blood off her body.

Fei had more than a dozen injures on his body from that battle, but those were all because he tried to protect Elena. Since the Valkyrie specialized in long-range attacks and weren’t experienced in close-range combat, she could be in great danger if monsters got near her. Therefore, Fei gave it all and made sure no monsters got close. In the end, Elena wasn’t injured at all, and blood on her body were all from the demons.

Fei tightly guarded the pond. As he listened to the splashing water noises and looked at the Valkyrie’s white smooth body, he felt intrigued. Although he had done it once before with Elena, it was for saving her life, and Fei fell unconscious as well. Therefore, Elena’s perfect body was still extremely luring in Fei’s eyes.

In order to distract himself, Fei glanced around.

Suddenly, his eyes locked onto something that wasn’t far away.

[Stamina Shrine]!

These so-called shrines were the ancient ruins on the continent. They were in shapes such as stone statues, pillars, and wooden statues, and they contained great power due to the runes and magic arrays engraved on them. When standing near them, one was able to be empowered by the unique energy inside them.

For example, the shrine in front of Fei was a cylinder-shaped stone pillar that was about five meters tall.

A few mystic magic runes that were drawn onto the body of the pillar with red, god-blood-like paint, and they emitted a faint indescribable power. Didn’t matter how tired a person was, as long as they stood within ten meters of this pillar, he or she would feel energetic in an instant. Their fatigue would be gone, and their stamina would be restored.

Before Fei got through the third map, even though he tried to study those magic runes, he couldn’t understand them.

But now, for some reason, Fei suddenly felt like those magic runes that were difficult and complicated seemed extremely simple and clear in his eyes. It made Fei feel like a girl who ignored him for a long time despite his pursue suddenly jumped into his bed when he least expected it.

The stone pillar completely attracted Fei’s attention.

Even though the Valkyrie washed up, dressed up, and stood behind him, the king didn’t even notice it.

......

The morning sun slowly rose into the sky, and the silver Chambord City looked like a layer of gold covered it under the sunshine.

Suddenly, a blue portal appeared in the bedroom inside the King’s Palace, and Fei walked out of it.

The portal instantly disappeared behind him once he was out.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!” Little Raccoon instantly dashed over from the window and jumped onto Fei’s shoulder. As it licked Fei’s cheek with its pink, soft tongue, it blinked its eyes. This little guy liked sticking with Fei, and the king felt like it was blaming him for leaving it out here all by itself.

Fei laughed and rubbed Little Raccoon’s head to comfort it.

“Your Majesty! Everything is planned just as you ordered!” Torres’ voice came from outside the room.

“Eh, great. Time for us to go.” Fei nodded.

The two of them left the King’s Palace, and they went to the largest plaza in the center of Chambord under the protection of six saint seiyas.

This place was the biggest plaza in Chambord since forever. When Fei just got onto this continent, he got angry and killed the deputy cavalier captain of the Royal Canonization Legion, Semak, as well as the 14 cavaliers who came with him after they tried to get their ways with Angela. This was also the place where Torres stood out of the crowd despite the danger and almost got killed. Due to his bravery, he was given the position as the king’s guard by Fei.

After renovation, this plaza got even bigger and cleaner. It was almost enough for close to 30,000 citizens of Chambord to gather here. This place was given a strange named by the King, Tiananmen Square, and it was the designated area where Chambord would host national celebrations, speeches, and various events.

When Fei arrived, there were already bylaw enforcement officers guarding the area tightly.

Around the plaza, four temporary grand water-elemental defensive array formations were set up by the students from the Civil and Military University, and these array formations could block most of the sharp energies that would be appearing here soon.

At the moment, more than 300 officials of the kingdom, more than 50 saint seiyas, 2,000 bylaw enforcement officers, and more than 1,000 students from the Civil and Military University stood in rows on the four sides of the plaza. With excited expressions on their faces, they looked at the great figure standing in the middle of the empty area that was about one square kilometer.

He was the former No.1 Warrior of Chambord, Frank Lampard.

A few days ago, Lampard already broke through peak Nine-Star and became a level 1 low-tier New Moon Elite. However, since the troop was traveling, and he didn’t have enough accumulation, Lampard suppressed his aura and didn’t try to go through nature’s challenge.

Since nature didn’t accept his identity as a Moon-Class Elite yet, he couldn’t see the natural laws, didn’t get his physical body transformed, and wasn’t able to fly.

Therefore, Lampard chose today to take the challenge, transform his body, and step into the real Moon-Class Realm.

Nature’s challenge was a dangerous process, and a lot of talented warriors and mages failed this process and died. Therefore, choosing the right time to do the challenge was crucial.

Of course, the king was an exception.

When Fei was undergoing this process, he turned the position of nature and himself around. He suppressed the natural elements with his pure physical strength, and that shocked many masters who were hiding at Dual-Flags City at the time.

Lampard cultivated lighting-elemental warrior energy.

Although the morning sun wasn’t the most heated, it contained the most energy. At this moment, the elements in the air were the most abundant and purest, especially fire elements and lightning elements. Therefore, this time of the day was perfect for fire-elemental and lightning-elemental warriors and mages to pass nature’s challenge.

“Uncle Lampard,” Fei said as he walked up to check on Lampard’s condition. He relaxed a lot after seeing Lampard, but he still asked, “How are you feeling? Are you confident?”

“This is not a problem!” Lampard looked at the sun in the sky and replied. The golden sunlight was shining brightly on him, and he looked like a god in a set of golden armor.

“Eh, that is good. I have a gift for you. It should be enough for you to deal with all kinds of situations in the upcoming challenge,” Fei said as he took out a huge black sword from his storage space; he was still a little worried.

Then, he stabbed this sword into the ground.

With a significant portion of the sword in the ground, the sword was still taller than an average person, and its width was comparable to a door. Also, it had an aura and a unique energy that only masters could sense.

This sword was much better than Lampard’s current black sword.

“Eh?” Lampard’s eyes lit up. He asked with a surprised expression, “Such spiritual power.... Combat weapon? Level 5? No, more...... level 6?”

Fei smiled and lowered his voice as he got close to Lampard, “Level 8.”

“Level...... level 8?” Lampard was stunned.

This was the first time that he acted this way in front of Fei.

However, this reaction was reasonable since anyone would be shocked by that.

Level 8 combat weapons were only one level away from semi-god-tier combat weapons, and they were used as strategic weapons!

“Alexander...... he took out such an important item this easily...... Damn, this is shocking!” he thought.

P.S It was mentioned in previous chapters that there were only about 500 bylaw enforcement officers. This might be a plothole, but we could assume that 1,500 bylaw enforcement officers were recently promoted from the militia.
