Rebirth Of The Queen Chapter 78

Huang Bao and Wan Lie immediately left, following the two of them, for a moment he stopped in front of the door and took out a stick that was only a few centimeters in size from his trouser pocket. It was one of his magic items. The wand was capable of transporting two people to a very faraway place like a vehicle. The elder used it very rarely because he had always preferred the teleportation paper to the stick.
While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan was already far above ground level, admiring the view from her position.
The curving river, the vast expanse of weed fields, the neatly lined hills, along with the expanse of flowers spoiled her eyes. Residents' houses lined up like forming a line of royal soldiers also did not escape her view. Some buildings that seem rather tall and large are gathered in one place, while in other parts there are houses that are so small.
More like forming clusters as if to show the world that their status is very different.
Fu Xie Lan's hair was obediently moving in the direction of the wind with its tip occasionally slapping and gently caressing the ruler's cheek. For a moment, Lord Gu Yi closed his eyes, enjoying the girl's scent after 700 years had passed. The scent he had longed for and who knows since when had become an addiction to him.
On his way, Huang Bao was still very curious about Wan Lie's actions. If only he had more courage to ask about the reason for action maybe he wouldn't be so curious.
They only took about half a day.
The four people then flew low and landed some distance from the entrance of Kanca City. Maybe about two hundred meters.
During the journey, there was no meaningful interaction between Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi, nor did Wan Lie and Elder Huang Bao. Maybe because each of them was taking their own time to enjoy the view from above.

Huang Bao walked over to Fu Xie Lan with two blue robes in hand.
"Give me, Uncle," then Wan Lie is taking the robe and giving it to his parents.
"Wear this Xie Lan, and this is for you," said Wan Lie is handing the robe to Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi.
The girl stared in bewilderment at the robe that was handed to her.
"This is the identity robe of the Wizard race," Huang Bao voiced as if he understood his disciple's confusion.
Even Huang Bao's gray robes that he had always worn before had now turned blue.
"Use this, don't cause a stir in the city," Wan Lie said back to Gu Yi.
Previously the young man already had a bit of an idea of the city he was going to visit from Elder Chen.
Gu Yi just snorted. With a look of displeasure, he took the robe and put it on. This is the first time someone has done anything to him. Does that young man not know that he is the Lord of this world? If Fu Xie Lan wasn't with them, he would love to teach the young man a lesson.
Only a few people know how the famous cold and cruel ruler looks like. The rest only know from the stories and rumors circulating.
Everyone who will enter Kanca City must wear their identity robes so that people can easily find out where everyone is from. Another rule was, no one was allowed to use his/her powers and create chaos in the City. If someone violates it, the City Master does not hesitate to teach them a lesson and report it to the higher-ups of the Demon palace for further action. Not only that, one person who made a mess than his/her entire race would receive punishment for his/her actions. Therefore, no one dared to mess around while still in the city. But it would be a different story if they were not within reach of the City.

The four of them then got ready and walked hand in hand towards the entrance gate, only Huang Bao walked in front as if he was leading the way for them.
Fu Xie Lan frowned as she took in the scenery around her. Just an empty barren land on the left side, while on the right side it is a forest, although not so dense.
'Is it true that a city exists in a place like this?'
The image of Kanca City was very different from her previous thoughts.
The walls were so high they seemed to stand majestically around the city, so it was very difficult to see how things were inside the city when one was just outside the gates. Unless you see it on higher ground.
to enter the City, can only pass through the gate provided by the City Master. Don't think about going in through the air because it will make your body bounce. Because this city is protected by high-level magic. there were eight gates, each reserved for each race that would enter the City. Of course, after passing some guards at the gate.
Several people in blue robes appeared, looked in and out of the gate.
Suddenly Fu Xie Lan's body was dragged behind by someone.
Reflex Gu Yi's hand moved quickly to hold his wife's hand and succeeded in making his body almost lose its balance.
The body of the person who was dragging Fu Xie Lan bounced off and released her grip on the girl's arm.
Pulled Fu Xie Lan into his arms and glared furiously at the person whose face was not fully visible due to the hood of the robe she was wearing.
"Wait, wait," the girl said, her hand wiping the fresh blood that came out of her mouth, it seemed like the impact she had experienced was very hard.
Fu Xie Lan frowned, she seemed to have heard that voice before. But where?
Gu Yi ignored the girl's words and wanted to finish her off.
At the same time, the girl took off her hood and her face was perfectly exposed.
"Xue Ning?" Fu Xie Lan immediately let go of Gu Yi's grip and drew closer to the girl.
"Are you ok?" asked Fu Xie Lan to which the girl only nodded.
"What happened? Didn't you go back to Parkus Village?" She asked again then helped Xue Ning to stand up.
Xue Ning shook her head, a look of desperation visible on her face. Her eyelids slightly swelled up like someone who had finished crying.
"That doesn't matter. The most important thing now is that you have to stay away from that City," Xue Ning finally spoke. Her hands occasionally wiped the water that still seemed wet on her cheeks, whether it was tears or just sweat.
"What do you mean?" Wan Lie asked coming closer.

Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal, bloody, shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze, and illuminate the whole world!”

Twenty years ago something had happened. The land and everything in it had changed. Magic was real and Technology was limited. New Races arose from the old and everyone was brought to an even playing field. Everyone starts at level 1 and levels up from there. Most folks will choose their class by level 5 and begin to grind out higher levels as they struggle to survive. Omachiw was different, half human and half elf he had been raised by the Elves he had once hunted. With no class and no family, he has become a jack of all trades, trying to survive in a world that had turned into a game. Based in part in the city of Regina in the Province of Saskatchewan Canada. This is a gritty urban fantasy story with horror elements set in a game world.
8 235The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
