Chapter 829: Chapter 415: Familiar Scent

Long Dangdang began to quicken his pace silently, weaving through the crowd of wraiths. He only had four hours to be out and about, and he didn’t know how large Calamity City really was. However, he could surmise that if his parents were imprisoned, they would definitely be in the core area of Calamity City or somewhere akin to a prison.

Now, he found himself hoping that this arranged meeting would drag on a bit longer since that would give him ample time to search for his parents.

As he moved, he used his spiritual power to sense the mental communications between the wraith entities around him to determine his direction, making adjustments accordingly. Gradually, Long Dangdang began to approach the central area of Calamity City.

The closer he got to the center, the wider the streets became, and the number of wraith entities increased. Among them, the presence of powerful beings truly startled him. He even saw a 7th Rank skeleton, its bones gleaming with a bright silver hue, and its eyes flickered with silver Soul Flames.

Long Dangdang asked himself about his own strength at this 7th Rank level, but facing this being, he felt a clear sense of danger.

After walking for nearly two hours, just as Long Dangdang was preparing to start his journey back, he suddenly turned a street corner and a colossal building ahead caught his attention.

Even at first sight, he was sure that this wasn’t an original structure from North Sea City, but rather one reconstructed here after the Wraith Kingdom had taken over.

It was a tall stone castle, perched atop a massive stone hill. Whether the hill was originally present or not was uncertain, but the stone comprising the hill was not ordinary—it emitted a faint silver glow, much like mithril ore.

Though extracting mithril from the ore yielded a very small percentage of pure mithril, it still was an extremely precious ore. Constructing such a stone hill at least 300 meters tall—how much mithril ore would be needed for that?

Atop that hill stood a castle. It looked magnificent, with its high, pointed roofs soaring into the sky, its brilliant silver radiance shining even under the cover of night. It seemed to be a castle made entirely of mithril. If it really was, then its value was immeasurable.

Long Dangdang gasped. He didn’t need to guess to know that this place was definitively where the ruler of the Wraith Kingdom resided. He genuinely hadn’t expected that in Calamity City, such a formidable fortress would be built. If it was all made of mithril, how much mithril would that be? Whether the entire human world’s reserves of mithril were even equivalent was questionable.

The Knights Temple had already been among the foremost of the 6 Great Sacred Temples, and for years, there were only 72 Mithril Cathedra knights. And with such a mithril castle, how many Mithril Cathedras could be constructed?

All this time, both he and the 6 Great Sacred Temples had subconsciously regarded the Wraith Kingdom as relatively barren, but now it seemed this was not quite accurate! With so much mithril to construct such a castle, who dared say the Wraith Kingdom couldn’t produce a sufficient amount of powerful weapons and equipment?

This information was too important. If it wasn’t for the rescue mission for his parents, just discovering such a castle should have made him return immediately to relay the news to the Federation Military Headquarters.

Looking at this castle, Long Dangdang’s eyes were filled with shock. Just then, his heartbeat suddenly skipped, his body stiffened, and the next moment, his eyes revealed an uncontrollable joy.

Yes, he confirmed it, he sensed it. As he continued gazing at the castle, through some mystical connection, he sensed that incredibly familiar and dear presence. The kind of presence only a close kin could have.

Dad, Mom!

Long Dangdang’s heart rate surged. He had never imagined that on his first day in Calamity City, he would actually sense his parents’ presence. What could be more important than this?

This meant his parents were inside that castle!

Before coming to Calamity City, in fact, the biggest worry he and Kongkong harbored was: what if their parents had already been killed by the Wraith Kingdom? That was the scenario they least wanted to face.

But just now, Long Dangdang was able to fully confirm that he sensed the presence of his close kin. Though it was very faint, he was almost certain it must be his mother’s presence. His mother was still alive, at least still alive! As long as there’s life, there’s hope. No matter how powerful and impregnable that mithril castle might be or how many strong beings it housed, he would not hesitate.

Taking a deep breath, Long Dangdang tried his best to control his emotions at this moment. He knew that now more than ever, he must not act impulsively.

His parents were still alive, which suggested that the Wraith Kingdom was still hoping to trap him and his brother using his parents. Now that he was here, he must find a way to rescue his parents.

Long Dangdang gave the Mithril Castle one last long look, then resolutely turned away. He had made up his mind.

In a luxurious room, all the furniture and utensils were made of fine gold.
