Zhao Hai began to understand how great Three Saint City was when he entered it . The city wouldn’t lose against any great Human city .
Its walls were made of stone . However, the adhesive used to paste them together wasn’t cement nor mud, instead it used a bloody red soil that had a strong bloody smell .
The city wall was about 20 meters high with a gate that was 20 feet wide and ten feet high . The gate was made out of bones and looked horrible .
Zhao Hai still can’t feel the total length of the city wall, but he reckons that it should be more than 10 thousand meters . On such a huge wall, there was only this single gate, and there seems to be no other carriages around . I looks like there weren’t a lot of carriages here in the Underworld .
There were two rows of skeleton soldiers standing by the city gate . All of them were Silver Skeletons equipped with spears . There was no armor on their bodies, but high-ranked skeletons with weapons was still terrible to go against .
Zhao Hai curiously examined this group of skeletons . Although he already used his spiritual force to inspect them, Zhao Hai was still used to using his eyes to ‘see’ things .
The skeletons were motionless, they looked like statues . After glancing through them, Zhao Hai immediately used his spiritual force to scan the situation inside the city .
Upon feeling what was inside, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but get shocked . Zhao Hai imagined that the Undead in the Underworld wouldn’t have houses . After all, Undead weren’t sensitive to cold nor heat . For them, having shelter was basically useless .
However, Zhao Hai found out that Three Saint City not only has houses, but there were plenty of them inside . Zhao Hai swept his spiritual force towards the city to see its structure . He thought that he was seeing a human city . The city’s design was good, it’s roads were very neat . It’s streets were covered by stone slates, the same material was used for the houses . There were three towers on the east side of the city . Each tower was 100 meters high and stood in a triangle, overlooking everything inside the city .
If one just looks at the structures, then one would think that it was just an ordinary human city . But when you see its inhabitants, you would immediately change your mind . The majority of those roaming the streets were Zombies and Skeletons . There were also Dark Creatures, Lich, and so on . After a while, you would even notice pale faced people . They were actually vampires wearing neat clothes as they walked the street .
It was a city comprised of Undead and Dark Creatures . Zhao Hai didn’t notice it at first, but as his spiritual force explored the city, he noticed that almost all the houses had an undead theme . And with the addition of the dark mist, the whole city looked like a ghost forest, a miniature version of how one would imagine the Underworld .
At this time, when the Undead and Dark Creatures saw Zhao Hai’s group, they were really respectful and even bent down their bodies .
In the Underworld, the difference with each ranks were very strict . Existences like Guli stood at the very peak, low-level undead needed to give them a salute whenever they meet . Naturally, if the Undead belonged to another faction, instead of giving respects, they would immediately proceed to attack .
However, in this Three Saint City, Guli and the others were the genuine rulers . The Undead inside the City wouldn’t dare to neglect Guli’s group . Or else, their fiery souls would be pulled out and eaten . It was this overbearing here .
Guli commanded the group to head towards the three towers in the city . These were the tallest structures here, and naturally this was also where Guli stayed .
Before long, the group arrived at the tower . Zhao Hai also came out of the carriage and entered . But since that tower belonged to Kampala, Zhao Hai called Kampala out . One must know that this tower had many Lich living inside it . These Lich were subordinates that Kampala kept here in order to manage Three Saint City . And if Zhao Hai just entered the tower without Kampala, then these Lich may attack .
Kampala was now immersed in Magic Formations . For Kampala, the world of magic formations was a really wonderful world . He didn’t want to go outside and waste time . So when he was called out by Zhao Hai, he immediately called his subordinates over and had Zhao Hai take them to the Space . Then he returned to his research, he didn’t care how Zhao Hai wanted to deal with these Lich .
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw Kampala’s action . Kampala and the others, these immortal beings, used to have nothing to pursue . After countless years, power or desire had almost nothing to do with them . They just wanted to do what interests them . And now, the world of magic formations just provided this thirst for Kampala .
A few days ago, when Zhao Hai entered the Space, he went to visit Karen’s laboratory . He was surprised to find that the laboratory already had some improvements . These were the benefits they gained from books regarding magic formations and magic armors that were gained from the Atlanta Plane .
Although these books were only at a primary level, they were undoubtedly treasures to Karen and the others who had been in the dark .
Besides these books, another thing that Karen and the others cared about were the computers that Zhao Hai had provided them . The formidable computational abilities of these computers greatly helped Karen’s group . More importantly, Zhao Hai didn’t expect them to use a computer much better compared to him .
Zhao Hai was very surprised about the learning capabilities of the group . One must know that Karen and the others had only been introduced by Zhao Hai to the simple operations of a computer . Then Zhao Hai just gave them books in order to use alongside the computers . Who would’ve thought that Karen and the others would be able to learn how to use computers with more ability than Zhao Hai . At this time, Karen’s group were now able to do magic formation simulations using the computer’s tools .
And with the addition of Kampala and the others, Karen’s progress became faster . The knowledge of the Lich allowed Karen to discover that the Lich had also been performing strange and foreign research . Every time the researches discussed, their outcome had always been constructive .
Zhao Hai began to recall . After arriving in Three Saint City, he saw that the Lich weren’t really needed to manage the undead in the city . Some of these Lich were completely erudite, they preferred learning than fighting . So Zhao Hai took these Lich into the Space and then replaced them with large quantities of skeletons .
This change went unnoticed by the Undead in Three Saint City, nor would they care . In the Underworld, strong beings killing another strong being and taking over their territory was very common; there’s nothing strange about it . So when Zhao Hai sat inside Guli’s bone carriage and entered the city, the Undead weren’t very surprised . For these undead, this only meant that the City had a new ruler .
The Underworld had the rule of the jungle and respected the strong . Here, as long as you have the strength, then you can do whatever you want . If you were weak, then your fiery soul could only be used as food and currency for the others .
After taking care of the Lich, Zhao Hai arrived at the topmost level of Kampala’s room . Upon entering the room, Zhao Hai was shocked . He felt that this wasn’t a room that was made for living . Instead, it seems to be like a huge ancient library as well as a museum!
The entire room was very big, it seems to be hundreds of square meters . However, there were no chairs in this room . There weren’t any living supplies inside instead of a small study . There were rows upon rows of shelves . Some of the shelves had rolls of beastskin scrolls while some had strange items such as fried tree bark, dried grass, a hoe, a pickled head, a broken knife, and an unfinished embroidery . When Zhao Hai saw these things, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but freeze . He couldn’t believe that this would be the room of a peak-level Lich .
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at a desk with a beastskin scroll rolled out on top . He didn’t know which beast this skin belongs to . There was a bone pen beside this scroll . The skin was treated and was pale yellow . It was also filled with blood red words .
The things written on this beastskin seems to be the records of Kampala’s research . But when Zhao Hai saw it, he was a little dumbfounded, Kampala’s research turned out to be poetry!
The Underworld followed the rules of the Jungle where the strong reigned king . But a Lich race’s top existence actually researched poetry? Nobody would believe it if they were told .
Zhao Hai put the beastskin down as he turned his attention to a nearby shelf . He picked a scroll at random and gently opened it . Zhao Hai took a glance at the scroll and carefully read its contents . When he saw what was written, Zhao Hai’s eyes couldn’t help but shrink .
Written on this scroll wasn’t poetry, instead it was a magic spell . It was a fire-element attack that Zhao Hai hadn’t seen before . The steps to casting this magic, from the incantation to the hand signals were clearly written . It can be said that the scroll had turned a complex fire-element magic into an inscribed blueprint . As long as one casts the magic spell according to what was written, then one would be able to use this powerful magic .
Zhao Hai carefully followed the magic from the first step . His finger moved while his mouth mumbled the incantation . After completing these steps, a three-winged boomerang made out of fire appeared in his hands .
Zhao Hai stared blankly at this boomerang . He didn’t think that he could use this magic . Moreover, it was as exactly as what the beastskin scroll described!
