The Dark King - Chapter 315

Chapter 315

July 29th .

Cloudy weather .

Dark clouds had covered over the area within the giant wall . The weather was cold . Pedestrians had wrapped themselves in clothes as the black death season was ending . The members of the Holy Church were in huge square in the slums, residential and commercial districts . They had even came over to the Temple . The members were worshiping God of Light . The second day of the August would be the first day of the annual snow season . It was a routine prayer day where civilians, nobles and high-profile members of the Holy Church amassed into crowds to pray for protection of humans from suffering .

Several architects were busy as they built a steeple giant at the higest place of a castle which was on top of a hill . The cold wind hit their faces as their hair fluttered in the air .

"Hurry up! Hurry! Bury the wires properly!" An old man in high spirit was commanding them . It was master Eivissa .

Architects rapidly pulled the wires .

"Eivissa, do you really think this thing will work out?" Another old man who was shorter than Eivissa casually asked .

Master Eivissa slightly shook his head: "Its hard to say at this point . We will know when the lightning hits it . Anyway the concept that is put forward is breathtaking . Even if it fails, the invention shall be no less than a three star item . "

"This is true . " Short man nodded: "Whoever the inventor is he has studied the power of lightning very deeply . Moreover he knows how to use the wires as insulators . Perhaps it is the work of Bel . He has studied lightning for decades so it should be time for him to promoted to the master level . "

Eivissa faintly smiled but didn't answer . Bel was friend of the short old man . Naturally the man was going to favor the latter but in his view point it was an architect from the next generation . The problem was that there were no more than three talents who would be candidate to produce such an invention . The only thing that made him regret was that for the past two days he had asked all his students but none of them were the inventors . Otherwise not just his student but he would come to light because of this product too .

Rumble ~ Rumble~

Low roars of thunder echoed from the sky .

Eivissa and the short old man were startled . But their eyes lit up as Eivissa quickly said: "Everyone come back! Quickly prepare for the outcome!"

The architects made the final touches to the work and quickly retreated back . Eivissa and the old man left together to the neighboring high-rise . Both master Eivissa and the short old man were using telescopes covered in protective plastic layer as they looked up at the gloomy dark clouds . The rain was going to pour any minute .

A staff from the temple produced few large umbrellas so that they could use when the rain began .

Eivissa looked back in fear . He screamed out: "Bastard! Get this things away! Do you want to kill us?"

The architects noted the mistake of the staff from the Temple . There was tension and loss in the latter face . They quickly approached and snatched the umbrellas from his hands and threw them back to the corridor . The umbrellas had metal skeleton which could attract the lightning . One of the architects said in a ridiculing tone: "Idiot! Do you have the brains of a dog? How dare you bring such things out here when a lightning could struck us any moment! Roll away and get several sets of raincoats!"

The young staff from the Temple suddenly realized his mistake . His legs trembled as he turned away and ran in haste .

After moment, Eivissa and others put raincoats as they stood on the floor .

Rumble~ Rumble~

The lightning jumped from one cloud to the other as if it was a snake . The heaven and earth shined like a day because of it .

The short old man looked at the steeple at the opposite to them . He whispered: "Even though that item is made of fine iron but its sure to split after the lightning hits it!"

Eivissa narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lightning rod .

Boom!

Sound of the thunder echoed out .

The pressure of the air dropped as the moisture got stronger . In about seven or eight minutes Eivissa felt the coolness in the air . The first drop of the rain fell and he looked up at the sky . He put on his hat as he quietly waited .

Boom! Bang!

A thick purple lightning split out from the clouds and dropped down along with the rain . It shot down and hit the metal rod at the top of the giant pole . A dazzling purple electric burst out . It seemed like the giant pole was a hand which captured the snake from the clouds and clutched in its hand .

Eivissa and the others narrowed their eyes as they intensely looked at the sight . Their scalp and skin was numb and the goose bumbs were aroused . Their bloods boiled at the sight . They weren't just affected and shocked be the strange image in front of them but also stimulated by the electrostatic field attached to the pole by the lightning .

The image gradually disappeared after less then two seconds . However the giant steeple was still intact .

Eivissa and the short old man raised their telescopes to observe the iron pole . There was no trace of damage . The ground below was no different . They jumped in euphoria! They knew that the test was successful!

Boom! Bang!

Another lightning shot down and wrapped the metal road .

Once more it disappeared as the ground was still unscathed .

At this point the rain gradually intensified as the lightning got more fiercer .

Rumble~ Rumble~

The sound of thunder echoed as the lightning from the clouds was pulled down and hit the giant pole . Ordinary lightning rod couldn't have such a possibility to attract so many lightnings . However in order to verify the effect of the lightning rod master Eivissa had arranged number of iron ores close to the pole . It would increase the probability of lightning to fall down at that area . Moreover because of the giant wall the climate within was different than outside . The height of the coulds were generally lower within the wall rather than outside . That was one of the reasons for major natural disasters to have more effect inside rather than outside the giant wall .

The lightning rod was unscathed after continuous thunder and lightning .

Eivissa and other observed the shining picture which happened because of the lightning . They were initially shocked but gradually immersed in the magnificent thunder and lightning . It was like they were watching great art exhibition .

The rain lasted for more than three hours . Eivissa and the short old man stood there and looked at the rain for more than three hours . Even the best operas or musician couldn't force people to willingly stand in the rain and watch for three hours long .

. . .

. . .

In the castle .

The oil lamp quietly burned in the wall . Fragrant light wamred the whole hall . All the windows were closed as rain gently knocked down the windows . Two maids quietly stood still . Their legs were hurting but they insisted . Sergei, Gwyneth and Jin were sitting close to the sofa and eating fruits . Dudian stood in front of the window as he looked out at the rain . Although it looked clean and bright but the water on the floor was colored light black .

"Master, are you cold?" Nicholas respectfully asked as he came forward .

Dudian didn't look back: "Thanks for coming . "

Nicholas took a small step forward .

Dudian asked: "What do you see?"

Nicholas looked outside through the gap of the window . He was puzzled: "The rain?"

"Where does the rain come from?"

"Of course, from the dark clouds . "

"Where do the dark clouds come from?"

"Uh . . . this slave doesn't know . "

Dudian seemed like he was lost in thought . He whispered: "What do you think? What's the purpose of our lives?"

Nicholas's eyes lit up: "This slave doesn't understand the answer to the philosophical question . But this slave knows that my purpose is to serve you . Although I have offended you before for many times and my heart was rebellious but I'm an old man who no longer wants to fight . I hope you can trust me once again . "

Dudian retracted his eyes and looked at Nicholas . Nicholas's eyes were calm and full of sincerity . Dudian took his eyes and patted his shoulder: "Go and prepare my carried . I'll go to Ryan family . "

"Yes . " Nicholas replied .

Sergei and others heard that Dudian was going to go out . Jin said: "I'll go with you . "

"No need . "

Sergei cut the fruit: "These days you have been going to Ryan family every night and coming back at dawn . Who is the lucky lady from the Ryan family?"

Dudian didn't reply to him as he waited for Nicholas to prepare the carriage . He put on the raincoat and got on the carriage .

He went to a butcher in a remote town . Dudian spent two silver coins and bought an ironback pig which weighted two hundred pouns . It was a high-end pig whose meat rivalled beef .

As like the last time Dudian asked the butcher to slaughter the pig . Afterwards he put the parts of the pig in the compartment . He drove the carriage to a small town hotel near the fortress and parked there . He dragged the pig through the grass outside the town . It didn't take long for him to reach the barrier . As he had expected the patrols were more loose in the rainy days . The barbarians never attacked this part of the fortress because of its terrain . There were not so many garrison members in here .

Dudian quietly passed the barrier . The weight of two hundred pounds was nothing significant for him . After crossing the barrier he quickly went towards the location where splitty was kept .

Dudian drilled into the desolate building . He opened the hole covered with the leaves and branches from the trees . He jumped into the basement with the ironback pig . Splitty was sleeping inside the cage .

Splitty looked at him the moment it heard Dudian's movement . It 'squeeked' few times in excitement . It's scythe like arms gently rubbed the cage .

Dudian pulled out dagger as he cut the ironpag pig into small parts so that he could throw them through the iron pillars of the cage .

Dudian cut the ironback pig as if he was cutting tofu . He cut it into many parts and threw them into the cage to feed splitty . After a few days, splitty's body color looked more darker than the previous color . However the color of its shell was looking like coated unevenly .

For the fast five days Dudian had brought ironback pig to feed Splitty . He had seen it change in the last few days . It's scythes looked more strong and harder in comparison to its newborn state . However it still looked miserable . It hadn't grown much and its crust hasn't transformed at all . The main reason was malnutrition and less food .

"Little guy be obedient for a few more days . I'll kill you mother and we will be able to go outside the giant wall . I'll let you roam around freely afterwards . " Dudian murmured as he threw the pork meat .

Splitty quickly ate the pork meat in excitement . After all, it was the only meal which it had every day .

Splitty was fed and Dudian put on the raincoat . He removed the sachet from his neck . It was different from others as it was had dry shell of blood .

Dudian rushed back to the barrier wall after leaving the basement .

Because of five days of experience Dudian was very familiar with the route . Half an hour later he bypassed the desolate mountain . However he saw that shadows were moving at the foot of the mountain . It was like ghosts were moving around .

There was a trace of fear in his eyes as he observed the dozen sihouettes as they moved . They had strang long sticks in their hands as they walked towards a different direction .

Dudian quietly looked at them: "Barbarians?" He quietly poked the grasses as he went close to the figures . He saw that all of them were tall but had dark complexion . They looked like the tribes from India from the old era . They had collars made out of animal teeth hanging on their necks . The sticks that they held onto were made out of beast bones . There were fine knives on their waists .

Dudian saw that these knives were the same as the knife he had picked up back in the battlefield .

The barbarians didn't use raincoats as the rain freely spilled onto their bodies . They didn't seem to care about rain at all .

After a moment the barbarians reached a weedy cliff . The one in the front poked the weeds and drilled inside . The other followed the first one . The last one carefully put back the weeds . Dudian thought that if he hadn't seen them enter the place he would never think that this place would be a barbarian den .

He gently sniffed . Although the rain would dilute the odors but he was still able to sense the smell which was mixture of human and beast . He remember the odor and quietly left the place .

Although the people had always had hatred against the barbarians and they thought of them as enemies but Dudian didn't have the strong feeling like them . In his eyes the only enemy were the monsters . He wouldn't provoke the barbarians if there wasn't collision of interests . Moreover his intuition told him that the foundation of the barbarians was no worse than the military .
