Chapter 592: Ginger is still spicier when old
Winter Trial Court.
"What... what are you saying, Your Excellency? I am the mayor rooster of Zhidong."
The rooster clenched its right hand tightly, a little trick that Han Yu naturally couldn't miss.
"They let that little Dotole go last time, and they're planning to do it again this time."
A faint energy fluctuation appeared around Han Yu. "Mayor, why are you sweating so much?"
Seeing that something was wrong, the rooster's face suddenly twisted, revealing a head wearing an animal bone mask!
"Look! The mayor..."
Upon witnessing this scene, the audience members turned pale with shock; it was simply too bizarre.
"Han Yu... do you think you can catch me?" The Abyss Priest held a round, black sphere high in his hand.
"The gate to the Abyss has opened!"
The black ball shook violently, but the priest's tone suddenly changed!
"Dottore! You'll die a horrible death..."
The black ball suddenly shrank violently, and soon became a black dot the size of a soybean!
A blinding white light flashed, followed by a violent explosion.
boom--
Under the Eye of Cold Universe, the black sphere instantly sucked the Abyss Priest in front of it into a dried-up corpse. All the Abyss energy in the opponent's body converged into one point, producing an extremely powerful explosion.
The Tai Chi Domain expanded instantly. Han Yu began to shrink the domain, defusing the crisis. At this moment, only a charred black hole remained where the Abyss Priest had stood on the platform.
As for the Abyss Priest's final angry rebuke of Dortore...
"This isn't a portal at all; it's a bomb that drains the user's energy once activated." Han Yu shook his head and looked at the group of people on the stage, all of whom were members of the Kiravolt Guild.
"The trial continues."
...
Inside the mayor's rooster-themed manor.
"Lord Fuguo..."
Several guards surrounded the manor, and a cordon was set up around it, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
Through his spiritual perception, Han Yu was able to confirm that there were no more abyssal demons in this place.
"The abilities of the Abyss Priests..." Han Yu felt a wave of disgust when he thought of the bizarre abilities of these Abyss monsters.
First of all, the priest's transformation ability is quite tricky. Unlike the abyssal apostle, which can only transform simply, it is a more covert ability.
"By absorbing the target's soul power, it achieved an almost perfect imitation; I was almost fooled by it."
Han Yu discovered this ability by chance when Nata accidentally traveled back more than two hundred years, when the Abyss Priests were quite powerful because they replenished their strength by absorbing the souls of others.
However, two hundred years have passed and this secret method has been gradually forgotten. As one of the few demonic creatures in the abyss, priests are inherently rare.
Pushing open the gate, Han Yu transformed into a streak of light and entered the manor.
The domain and perception spread, and in just a moment it locked onto that almost withered life sign.
That life was like a candle flame flickering in the wind and snow, which could be extinguished at any moment.
In the manor's underground, Han Yu discovered a hidden door. A downward corridor stretched before him, and at its deepest point, a small, white-haired old man suddenly appeared before him.
This person was indeed a rooster, bound by chains from the abyss, with a thread barely perceptible to the naked eye between his brows.
"Lord...the Minister of State, is that you...?"
At this moment, the rooster seemed to have used up all his strength to speak, and he slightly opened his old and cloudy eyes.
“I know... I’m not a good person. I’ve done a lot of things with Dotole that went against my moral principles.”
Even when a person is about to die, his words are good.
After Han Yu removed the chains of the abyss and the restriction on his brow.
The rooster sighed weakly, then spoke of the past as if in repentance, “I admit that what I did was indeed a bit extreme... cough... but I also wanted to fulfill Her Majesty the Queen’s great wish, to break the original rules of this world, and no longer be manipulated by others.”
"This thought only lasted until I met you." The rooster coughed a few more times.
“You have changed my mind. People need a subject of thought, because Winter has never been just the Queen’s country, but the country shared by all the people of Winter.”
Han Yu waved his hand. "Are you done?"
Seeing that his advisor was getting impatient, the rooster gave a bitter laugh, after all, he and Han Yu had a grudge.
Han Yu didn't touch him earlier because he was still useful to him for the time being. If Han Yu had taken action and killed him along with him, Zhi Dong would have suffered considerable turmoil.
After all, he's the mayor; there are some things that only a rooster can balance to ensure the country's continued operation.
Han Yu didn't speak, but instead took out a small bottle containing a sea-blue liquid.
"Drink it, then go clean up your mess."
Han Yu tossed the bottle to the other person and then left the underground chamber.
The rooster looked at what it held in its hand and drank it down without hesitation. While it seemed like these were the rooster's dying words, the old fellow actually had an extremely strong will to survive.
This isn't flattery; it's clinging tightly to a powerful figure. All that talk boils down to two words: save me.
To put it simply, the rooster just said, "I want to live. I am still useful to Zhidong, and I will never dare to disobey you in the slightest again."
After drinking the liquid, the rooster's face began to twitch, the pain of his soul being devoured disappeared, and his weak body began to regain its strength.
Han Yu gave the other party diluted, pure water.
Egolia was originally the possessor of the Primordial Ocean of Life. That Primordial Ocean of Life was the heart that could create life, and the pure water that transformed from it after her death naturally possessed immense life force.
Without dilution, a small rooster like him would probably die after just one sip. Thinking back to when Han Yu was blowing on the bottle of "Water of Life," it terrified the guardian spirits there.
...
Back at his manor, Han Yu went to Funina's bedside.
In the days that followed, he stayed by Fufu's window without leaving her side until the morning two days later.
"It feels like I had a very long dream." Funina looked at Han Yu, who was lying next to her bed, and reached out to stroke his short, black hair.
Because Funina had just woken up and was still weak, Han Yu and the others stayed in Zhidong for about half a month.
Two weeks later...
"Orolen, don't go back to Nordkalai this time. Spend a few more years honing your skills with the captain in Winter Solstice."
The largest port in winter.
The Fuguo ship has already docked at the shore.
"Han Fuguo, everyone is very grateful for everything you have done for Zhidong."
With bright blue eyes and a crystal crown on her head, Queen Zhidong personally saw Han Yu off, a grand affair that immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Han Yu set sail again and returned to Nordkalley.
On the boat, Han Jingjing transformed into a child and climbed onto Han Yu's back.
"Don't make trouble."
Han Yu was looking at a document that recorded what had happened after he left Nordkalley.
According to data analysis, Raelil has been appearing less and less frequently in Nordkalle recently, and Han Yu knows that his method is working...
