Chapter 1035: Chapter 134 Night London Chapter 1035: Chapter 134 Night London “Indeed.”

“London City largely retained the architecture of the original humans, with only minor details embellished.”

“Moreover, the interior of London City isn’t absolutely dark; it deliberately preserves the glimmer of distant galaxies shining through the ‘Unnamed Fog,’ seemingly to maintain contact with the Upper Old Kings on those far-off stars.”

“Additionally… the essential item in London City seems to be the ‘black candle.’

Upon crossing the city gates, both individuals were also given a candle.”

“Belonging to the same category as the candles burning inside the lanterns on the dark city roads, once ignited they release Dark Candlelight, devouring light… shrouding oneself in darkness.”

“On the streets, the Dark Denizens coming and going all carried candles.”

“Either held in the palm of their hands,

“or levitated in the air by their powers,

“or gathered over the shoulder by a Tentacle.”

“In this manner, hiding themselves within absolute darkness not only brings a sense of security but also allows them to maintain constant contact with the ‘Mother.’

“On the streets,

“various shops,

“Dark Denizens commuting to and from work,

“as well as carriages passing back and forth on the roads,

makes Han Dong question whether he had stepped into a human city dominated by darkness… However, as Han Dong had suspected, the cities corresponding to the land deeds in the hands of the Chaotic Walker were indeed ‘close’ to human habits to a certain degree.

Asking such a question to the fellow miners accompanying him would raise doubts about Han Dong’s identity.”

Just as Han Dong wanted to ask Mary, a dissatisfied voice came through his consciousness.

“It appears you’ve been bewitched by that mother toad… I, a Count who is a learned demon scholar, am right here, and you still wish to ask someone else? Allow me to clarify your confusion.”

Han Dong didn’t care about the Count’s words at all at this point, he simply wanted to get to the results quickly, “Speak… explain it more clearly.”

“Among the Upper Old Kings, there are two in particular who, due to interests, personality, and abilities, have a ‘close’ relationship with humans.”

“But the ways in which they are close are quite different,”

“The first is the Yellow Robe Being that corresponds to the back of your right hand.”

“He is also known as ‘Traveler,’ establishing detailed and strict management doctrines, entrusting almost all matters to subordinates to manage.

“Casting aside the shackles of kingship, he comes to Earth as a traveler, lives hidden among human society, seeking amusement.”

“The Yellow Robe… It’s been a long time since he’s made contact with me, and I have no idea what he’s up to.

“Although he chose me to be a Messenger,

“the Yellow Robe Being’s main point of contact was Mr. Black White… During the Big Expedition, Mr. Black White chose to stay behind in the Holy City, and the two might have interacted.

“So, who’s the second one?”

The Count’s consciousness lightly kicked against the trunk of the Talent Tree, causing a slight tremor in Han Dong’s brain: “The second one corresponds to your head–[The Gray Walker].”

“He possesses the ‘Perfect imitation’ power.”

“His favorite thing to do is to combine ‘Incarnation’ and ‘Perfect imitation’ to take the form of a common human in embryo form, and live a normal life in your society. He might even forget his own identity as an Old King and gain insights by living through a human life.”

“At the same time,

“If he encounters some particularly interesting humans in his lifetime, he also takes them to the Grey Abyss.”

“Every stage of human society should bear traces where he has lived.”

“Moreover, there is one terrible rumor that has not been confirmed.”

“What is it?”

“The rumor has it that in the previous generation of human civilization,

“Humanity was able to completely break free from the slavery of demons, largely driven by [The Walker].”

“Later, one of his true incarnations even lived in the Royal City built by the human emperors.

“At night, when the emperor went to bed, [The Gray Walker] would come to his chamber and Whisper in his ear, even directly inciting him in dreams… In this way, drawing out and giving rise to endless desires.”

“Eventually leading to the advent of the world disaster.

“Of course, this is just a rumor… The fundamental issue with the disaster still lies with you humans.”

“Indeed, because of the Gray Walker’s ‘closeness’ with humans, his subordinate demons, cities, and even some vassals, all display human habits.”

“However, most of these habits are just ‘superficial.'”

“I see…”

Han Dong took note of the information provided by the Count and returned his focus to the present.

Maritzis looked at the strange city, uncomfortable due to the encroaching darkness, and whispered,

“Nicholas, don’t you plan to use the connections we made in the Fate Space? If we had the assistance of those four Dark Denizens, our operations would be much easier.”

“No… intuition tells me that there’s something hidden in this London City.

We should avoid extensive contact with the locals as much as possible. Let’s wait until we need the four maids before we use them.”

“Oh, I’ll listen to you, then.”

…

Han Dong and Maritzis walked behind.

The miner, Phineas, continued to lead the way and briefly introduced the basic knowledge of life in London City.

“Transactions in London City are conducted with ‘Night Currency.’

This is a currency extracted from Black Rock Minerals using special techniques, with images of the Mother and Westminster Palace on the obverse and reverse sides.

If you, Messenger, don’t have any currency, it will be very inconvenient for you… This is our reward for mining, and I’m giving it all to you. If you don’t have enough, Lord…”

Han Dong took over a large bag of coins and nodded, “It’s enough.”

“Lord, if you want to start from the bottom and get ‘permanent residency,’

you need to go to the Black Hall or some other offices certified by the Mother.

There you can take on some quests that not only earn you ‘Night Currency’ but also increase your prestige.

There are quests like our mining ones, but you need to take a miner’s qualification test beforehand to confirm your ability to identify and mine Black Rock.

There are also some more dangerous quests, such as exterminating other Demons attempting to invade London City.”

“Good… I will take a look later.

May I ask, is [The Mother] residing in Westminster Palace (the Parliament building)?”

“No, that is the gathering place of the national religion.

The Mother usually doesn’t appear, but it is rumored that she resides at the bottom of the Thames.

The exact location is known only to those who have achieved the ‘Ancestor Body.’

However, due to the occurrence of [The Participant Incident] and the threat of Foreign Demons, it is rumored that the Mother has been moving around inside London City, disguised as a common resident.”

“Hmm.

That will do, I will explore the rest on my own… You can go back and rest.”

“Sure, haha…”

For some reason, the miner Phineas couldn’t help but laugh as they parted.

Some dark matter constructed an exaggerated smile at the corners of his mouth.

‘Mad Laugh Virus’ had already rooted in his brain, and if there was any thought of divulging information to Han Dong, his brain would be immediately formatted.

…

“Nicholas, shall we look for a place to stay first? I want to take a bath… Preferably with a bathtub big enough to fit the three of us, you, me, and little sister Nicole.”

“That’s fine.”

Just at that moment.

A sense of pressure came over them.

A man nearly four meters tall with a burly figure wearing a black overcoat appeared suddenly behind the two… At the same time, this hulk was also reaching his bandaged hand into his overcoat, as if to pull out something dangerous.

Han Dong and Maritzis turned around simultaneously, ready for battle.

But then,

The burly man took out a sheet of white paper from his overcoat, and under the dim light of a black candle, text and images slowly began to emerge on the surface of the paper.

Asking with a friendly face,

“Interested in learning about fitness swimming?”
