Chapter 460: Chapter 104: A Message, A Place

Solo Kill King was extremely excited at this moment.

As a survivor of the Tao Enhai breakout battle, he had a vague idea of the "Nameless Hero’s" true identity.

Of course, it was just speculation, without solid proof, and it could be overturned at any time.

But still... that "but"! The true identity of "Nameless Hero" might be...

Tsk.

Anyway, as soon as he heard that the Nameless Hero needed help, Solo Kill King stood up without hesitation.

"Redstone Gate suffered heavy losses back then, and a few people must stay behind to maintain the organizational structure, to absorb new chivalrous forces," Solo Kill King explained. "So this time, those coming out from Redstone Gate are only me and my nephew disciple. Don’t take offense."

"How could I?" Xiang Shan sighed, "To still see you alive and kicking after three years is no small feat."

"Great Hero, I’m not pleased to hear that," Jader shook his head. "What do you mean ’I’m still alive’? During these three years, I’ve been recuperating and training in the Arctic. Both my internal and external skills have improved, alright?"

Back then, when Redstone Gate was surrounded by a large army, Solo Kill King Jader was severely injured by Pine Eagle City’s City Lord Amilcare Zhao. He was later rescued by Hiroshi Matsushima, who emerged from nowhere amidst the soldiers’ attack. However, Matsushima only managed to save his head. To carry him away quickly, he decisively twisted off Jader’s head.

Jader’s nervous system thus suffered great damage.

Additionally, due to severe concussions from earlier battles, his injuries were indeed grave.

In the Tao Enhai breakout battle, he was already in an injured state.

Three years ago, Jader, with the Jade Cauldron fungus he had received in advance from Xiang Shan, returned to Redstone Gate’s base beneath the ice layers. In order to repair the brain damage, he used low doses of Restoring Enzyme.

Ordinarily, when using low dosages of Restoring Enzyme, to ensure they didn’t lose memories or skills, people would continuously recall important experiences, knowledge, or practice critical techniques.

During this process, Solo Kill King ironically found a path to further advance his Inner Strength.

At the same time, he also had a cloned spine reattached.

Having witnessed Hiroshi Matsushima’s exquisite external strength, Jader’s vision was raised, and he found a direction to strive for in external strength as well.

These three years, he also kept improving.

And when he heard that a "Nameless Hero" in the south was recruiting troops, preparing to strike at Paradox City, he decided to emerge.

——Sure enough, he’s the legendary... that person!

——Three years ago, I was merely in a crippled state. In any case, I definitely can’t leave such an embarrassing impression in the heart of my idol!

——I have to wash away the disgrace!

With such thoughts, Jader made his appearance once again.

"Nameless Hero, I heard you’ve been with Senior Brother Matsushima before," Jader lowered his voice. "How is he doing now? Still as stubborn?"

"Being a Hero is ultimately a matter of free will," Xiang Shan said. "Actually, Matsushima also has grievances with the Lords, but it seems he’s still caught up by something. It’s up to him, I guess."

Speaking of Hiroshi Matsushima, he was a bit of an oddity too. Although he claimed that he "just wants to quietly be a martial arts school teacher," when troubled people like "Turing Disciple" came knocking, his first reaction wasn’t to go to the authorities but to collaborate with them, accomplishing some feats that ordinary Jianghu people couldn’t, and he didn’t even plan to flee afterward.

I suppose it’s true that "Every family has its own hard-to-read sutra."

At this moment, Jader seemed to recall something and said to Xiang Shan, "By the way, Great Hero, there’s more. Great Hero Baiman had sent a message a few days ago."

"Oh?" Xiang Shan asked, "How is Doctor Tao now?"

Baiman, following the original plan, took Tao Enhai and his disciples away from here to another place.

There had been no news for several months.

After that, Xiang Shan first went into seclusion. After emerging from seclusion, he absorbed the Legacy left by the Eighth Martial God in Delacruz City, then spent another three years in deep cultivation, often offline.

One time, after cultivating, Xiang Shan received a message from Baiman.

"The doctor and I are currently fine, the connection is unstable, and we might not be in touch anymore."

What this actually meant was "Because King Aqini tightened control, the communication lines we are using could be noticed, so we will temporarily not make contact."

It looked like that incident in Delacruz City really stirred Hartman.

After that, Xiang Shan did not receive any more messages.

But it was different for Hartman. Although the Redstone Gate was almost crippled, it managed to maintain a sect structure. In the past, Redstone Gate and some sects in the Arctic had jointly built a few short wired lines to connect with the Jianghu on the old continent.

Many sects would build some "infrastructure beyond enemy control."

Moreover, there are also various forms of interactions between sects.

The people of Jianghu had their reliable channels for sharing reliable information.

Therefore, Baiman actually made contact with Jader first.

Jader said, "Great Hero Baiman mentioned that Apricot Forest Duke is in good condition now, recovering well. The Evolu cells have indeed been completely eradicated."

Xiang Shan nodded his head.

The surgery three years ago was completed by Xiang Shan relying on the memories of Tao Enhai. Since there was no condition for post-operative biopsy, and it was complicated to perform surgery due to the uniqueness of the new cortex, Xiang Shan was unsure if the operation was entirely successful.

If even a tiny bit of the Evolu cell lesions was missed, that would’ve been the end of Tao Enhai.

However, listening to this message, the surgery seemed to be very successful.

That was good.

"Apricot Forest Duke seems to have found someone lurking on the old continent," Jader continued, "He didn’t elaborate on the details, but according to the messages spread among the Jianghu, Great Hero Baiman has a record of striking and killing a Protector Lord in Central Africa."

For some reason, Xiang Shan suddenly felt an unexplainable wave of sorrow in his heart. After he inquired about the specific location, this strange feeling intensified.

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment, "Is there... any well-known hero who became a martyr in that place?"

"There are a few, but the Nameless Hero, you most likely have little to do with them," Jader said. "That place is near the Space Elevator at the equator. There have been many battles between the Jianghu and the Protectors there, the situation is complex, and many have been sacrificed."

"When was that Space Elevator constructed?"

"This... After the Sublimation War, Yawgmoth built many Space Elevators all over the world. Many of them were gradually dismantled after a hundred years of operation."

"After the Sublimation War?" Xiang Shan was astonished, "That place, before the Sublimation War..."

Jader scratched his head, "You mean the Secret War of Chivalry? That... wasn’t the secret war mostly in flourishing areas? What was there in that place?"
