Chapter 719 -719 Silver City Lord Immortal Monarch (2nd Update)


    Silver City.


    Croliya carefully wiped the massive back of the towering figure before her.


    Huge radiation injuries crisscrossed this broad back, and even the skin itself emitted a ghastly pale fluorescence.


    When the soft pure cotton handkerchief, soaked with precious clear water, passed over it,


    the water hadn’t even time to flow down before it was greedily absorbed by the skin.


    Croliya could even feel the surging power contained beneath this skin.


    Once she had finally finished wiping, the silent servant picked up the extremely exaggerated armor, shaped like an upturned scorpion, and carefully attached it to the back.


    Click.


    With a crisp sound,


    the armor seemed to lock into ce, firmly installed upon it.


    Croliya lifted the scorpion’s tail that extended from the backte, then gently fastened it to the man’s face.


    With the noise of turning gears, the scorpion’s tail quickly changed shape, soon transforming into a breathing apparatus with fierce-looking teeth, shing with fluorescence as the man breathed.


    Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, and the might bursting forth in an instant sent the servants who were cleaning the backte flying.


    Croliya stepped back respectfully, “My King, you have awakened!”


    The man looked at Croliya and said in a mechanically tranted, strange voice, “Croliya, how long have I slept?”


    “King, you have been asleep for three months!”


    “Three months… Is there any anomaly outside now?”


    Croliya hesitated slightly, then spoke, “King, the news just came through, the Cheng Family of ck Iron City along with several other families have all been exterminated!”


    “ck Iron City…”


    “Yes! Moreover, this person’s origin is unknown, I suspect it’s… an outsider!”


    Upon hearing these three words, a sh of light appeared in the man’s eyes, and then he slowly stood up, with a height of three meters, making him seem like a giant.


    Croliya even had to tilt her head up to see his face.


    “Notify the other families, convene the Silver Council.”


    “Yes!”


    Croliya went down to deliver the message.


    The man stepped out of the room, and onto a high tform.


    This was Silver City’s vantage point, from where the entire city could be overlooked.


    Gazing down at the city built of white secret stone below his feet, and the vast expanses of yellow-brown wilderness in the distance, the man spoke in a low voice.


    “Outsider… You managed to traverse the starry sky to arrive in this world; your strength is evidently not small. But why did you seek to destroy ck Iron City? Could it be… you have discovered something?”


    Just then, many people below noticed the man standing on the high tform and began to exim in astonishment.


    “The King has awakened!”


    “Our King is awake!”


    In the noise of themotion, countless people gathered at the base of the tower, shouting excitedly up above.


    “The Immortal Monarch!”


    The man smiled and waved his hand in acknowledgment.


    Soon enough,


    news of the City Lord’s awakening spread throughout the entirety of Silver City.


    And the great families within Silver City all hurried to the council hall.


    When the man appeared at the entrance, everyone stood up in unison, cing a hand over their chest, “My King! Wee back!”


    The man slowly walked to his seat and waved his hand.


    The crowd took their seats.


    Then the man leaned on the table with one hand and let his gaze sweep over everyone’s face in the room.


    “You have done well during my slumber!”


    Everyone’s faces lit up with excitement.


    The Silver City Lord went on to say, “But this is not enough, I believe you all are aware of the events that have transpired in ck Iron City!”


    When this matter was mentioned, a low murmur spread through the council hall.


    Then a middle-aged man stood up with an extremely ugly expression and said, “My King, your loyal guardian, my son of the Xiong Family, Xiong Lei, has also died in ck Iron City!”


    “Moreover, the Cheng Family has beenpletely annihted, now only a few remaining noble families are left in ck Iron City!”


    “It is said that the assant was only one person!”


    In the midst of these discussions, the Lord of Silver City waved his hand, “This person is definitely not ordinary, most likely an outsider!”


    Upon hearing the word ‘outsider’.


    A deathly silence fell upon the council hall.


    Many faces showed a look of gravity.


    The Lord of Silver City continued, “Therefore, starting from today, everyone must be prepared to join forces and kill this person.”


    “Yes, my King!”


    At the time when the many noble families of Silver City were set into motion.


    Xue An had already quietly appeared in Silver City.


    Only, at this time, he was also dressed in the long robe that was most customary for the locals, followed by Ah Tu.


    To the ordinary observer, he would appear no different from any of the city’s residents.


    This was Ah Tu’s first visit to Silver City.


    Curious about this legendary City of the Chosen, Ah Tu looked around everywhere with interest.


    It had to be said that Silver City, whether in terms of scale or conditions, was much superior to ck Iron City.


    Ah Tu even saw a fountain at the central square.


    This left Ah Tupletely dumbfounded.


    Because the water that spouted from the fountain was all Second Rank water.


    For Ah Tu, this was unimaginable; just a few days before, he and his sister couldn’t even drink First Rank water, yet here they were using Second Rank water for a fountain.


    Not just that.


    The exquisite architecture and the neatly dressed crowds on the streets, all made Ah Tu feel astounded.


    But Xue An furrowed his brows slightly.


    Because he could sense the strangeness of this city.


    Especially the tall tower constructed in the center of the city, which Xue An gazed at for a long time.


    His visit to Silver City was because Xue An wanted to quickly find the root cause of this world’s decay.


    And this tower further confirmed the thoughts in Xue An’s mind.


    Just at that moment, a sudden mor erupted in the street.


    The crowd split to either side, and someone shouted with excitement, “The Holy Maiden!”


    “We’ve seen the Holy Maiden!”


    Following the shouts, a procession made its way down the street.


    Atop the leading exotic horse sat a woman.


    It was Croliya, the maid by the side of the Lord of Silver City.


    Since the City Lord had ordered everyone to be ready, Croliya had been leading patrols throughout the city to maintain order.


    Of course, this was also due to the uing Water Ceremony.


    The reason why the residents of Silver City were so excited to hear the news of the City Lord’s awakening was that each time the City Lord awoke from his slumber, a Water Ceremony would be held.


    During the ceremony, the City Lord would open the sluice gates, releasing water that had been filtered multiple times, nearly radiation-free and pure.


    This was a special privilege of the residents of Silver City.


    It was because of this that the City Lord possessed such unparalleled prestige.


    After all, in this world, whoever controlled the water supply, controlled everything.


    Croliya, with the matter of the outsider in mind, felt somewhat uneasy.


    But at that moment, she suddenly nced at Ah Tu standing by the roadside, and couldn’t help but let out a light “Huh.”


    “Huh, this is…”
