Chapter 128: The War of Fantexi Cheng Three Years Ago

"I am very sorry! Come to think of it, I have always been quite confused about this matter myself!"

Frank also picked up the black tea in front of him, took a sip, and carefully savored the taste in his mouth.

"That day, I was taking Miss Alice out for a stroll when the sky suddenly darkened and it started to rain. Because the weather forecast hadn't reported any rain, I hadn't prepared an umbrella."

"So, before the rain got heavier, I took Miss Alice to a familiar clothing store to take shelter."

Speaking of this, Frank looked around and gave a bitter smile.

"But the familiar owner wasn't in the shop. After searching for a while to no avail, we planned to leave once the rain stopped, but in the end, the rain stopped and we still didn't see the owner return. When we opened the door again, we discovered that we had arrived here along with this shop."

Xie Yaoyao smacked his lips; what a truly fantastical experience!

There was absolutely no logic to it at all. Could it be that there is some kind of special connection between that shop in the real world and this one here?

Frank clearly saw what Xie Yaoyao was thinking, so he continued.

"At first, I also thought it was because of this building, but later I learned that sixty percent of the houses on this street, and even in the East Qu of Fantexi Cheng, all arrived here in such a strange way."

"In other words, this house is not a special case; what is truly strange is this place!"

Xie Yaoyao had originally thought the chaotic architectural styles of the houses on this street were a unique feature of Fantexi Cheng; he hadn't expected that these houses weren't built by the locals themselves!

"If the problem lies with this place, then it's going to be difficult. It seems there's no way to find a path back from this angle."

Hearing Xie Yaoyao say this, the expectant look in Frank's eyes dimmed again, and he said offhandedly.

"It is indeed a problem with the place. At the time, this entire area was destroyed. These houses and even this street appeared gradually afterward. Sometimes, you wake up from a nap and there are several more buildings."

Xie Yaoyao immediately noticed a word in Frank's speech.

"Destroyed? You mean this area was originally destroyed?"

Realizing that this information might be helpful to Xie Yaoyao, Frank immediately sat up straight.

"Yes, my lord! I later learned about this matter! Three years ago, a major event occurred in Fantexi Cheng. A Devil Grand Duke accidentally discovered the spatial coordinates of this Underground City and launched a terrifying planar war against it."

"In the end, Fantexi Cheng was defeated, and more than half of the East Qu and a small half of the Bei Qu were completely destroyed. The City Lord also died in that war. The current City Lord, Viscount Graz, was enfeoffed by that Devil Grand Duke and is responsible for helping the devils manage the Underground City and providing soul sacrifices every year."

"Those shock troops are responsible for capturing criminals. Once targeted by the shock troops, it is basically certain that one will be sacrificed to the devils. Sigh!"

"However, I have also heard that although Fantexi Cheng has become a breeding farm for devils, life here is still better compared to other Underground Cities."

Perhaps feeling that his statement contained some self-consolation, Frank added another sentence.

"As long as you don't get targeted and troubled by those shock troops, it's fine!"

However, at this moment, Xie Yaoyao could no longer afford to carefully savor Frank's emotions. Combining his words with the intelligence provided by the Blood Elf Aier, Xie Yaoyao had gained some understanding of this Viscount Graz.

Looking at it this way, he should even thank Aier and the others for attempting to assassinate him; otherwise, if he had been brought to the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, he wouldn't know what his fate would be.

No, no, that guy Aier had said that the assassination operation wasn't planned by him; it was something stirred up by that sheep-headed demon called Bafengte and that Minotaur.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoyao couldn't help but curse Roman, that pit-digging jerk, for getting him into such a hellish place.

The more information he heard, the more he felt his situation was not looking good!

He patted Alice's little head beside him, and looking at the blushing little girl, Xie Yaoyao's mood improved slightly.

"It's fine. If this path doesn't work, at least we can think of a way from Rabbit Roman. To be honest, that guy's Rabbit Hole is quite reliable. Frank, I might have to bother you at your shop for a while."

"Of course, no problem! It is my honor to be able to provide you with some help!"

······

After receiving Xie Yaoyao's order, Lilisi immediately lured Rabbit Roman away.

It was just that she didn't know the roads of Fantexi Cheng, nor did she know where she should lure him, so she had to fly around the city randomly.

After taking the young master of the City Lord's Mansion on a long detour through the city, Lilisi saw an acquaintance.

Inside a tall church, through a glass window, Lilisi saw a sheep-headed demon holding a meeting for a group of fellows, and the Minotaur standing to the side was also very familiar.

Lilisi was only summoned to this world after Xie Yaoyao walked out of the Mirror space, so she hadn't seen the assassination attempt on Xie Yaoyao, but through her mental connection with Xie Yaoyao, she had already learned the general process of events.

Naturally, she would not miss such a god-given opportunity.

Thus, Lilisi landed quite naturally on the roof of the cathedral.

"Caw caw!"

Rabbit Roman had already run until he was full of fire; not being one known for physical stamina, he was already panting heavily.

Finally seeing the crow stop, Roman immediately shouted.

"What... what did it... say?"

The members of the shock troops who had followed along looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

In the end, the leading captain supported Roman and said.

"Young Master, we don't have anyone here who understands beast language. The arcanist in the squad does know the 'Tongues' spell, but she didn't follow us. However, according to my subordinate's guess, we may have already arrived at our destination!"

As he spoke, the captain gestured toward the cathedral in front.

Fantexi Cheng did have a church, but the church in Fantexi Cheng did not worship the Holy Light or any deity; it worshipped the Devil Grand Duke who had attacked this place three years ago—Beiruier!

Beiruier was a famous Devil Grand Duke in Hell and a demon general who commanded an army.

Because his strength was formidable, he developed the ambition to climb even higher.

In order to gain enough merit and prestige to become a Hell Lord, Beiruier resolutely joined the 'Blood War' that had been going on between devils and demons for hundreds of thousands of years!

In a battle against an Abyss Lord, Beiruier was thoroughly defeated, so he took his remaining army and hid back in Hell to lick his wounds.

Unexpectedly, it was at this moment that fate favored the unlucky Beiruier; he accidentally discovered the spatial coordinates of an Underground City.

This delighted Beiruier, and he immediately used his powerful strength to open a spatial rift, dispatching his elite troops to enter that Underground City to launch an invasion and slaughter.
