Chapter 273: The Light of Shandora

"How was it? How did I perform just now?"

Karl smiled: "Very vivid. Even I almost believed it was real."

"Hee hee, really? Mmm, it's all thanks to your teaching, but will they really believe it?" Hancock still harbored doubts about this.

"Rest assured, they have to believe it whether they want to or not. We have already done all that is humanly possible."

"Right, take this with you later."

Karl took a massive golden bell out of his system space. This was something he had found among some clouds before coming here; for this, Raven had searched near Upper Yard for a long time before discovering it.

"Is this the golden bell they spoke of?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. As long as this great bell is rung, the promise between Norland and them will be considered fulfilled."

"Uh, the time is about right, let's go over!"

After saying this, Karl grabbed a corner of the golden bell, took a deep breath, and lifted it up.

"My dear, do you need my help?" "No need, I have natural divine strength!"

Karl carried the bell on his shoulder and walked toward the Cloud Hidden Village, leaving a footprint with every step. This was only because Karl was deliberately holding back his strength; otherwise, given the weight of the golden bell, it would be far more than just a footprint with every step, as this thing weighed several tons.

Cloud Hidden Village.

The Chief sat on the ground helplessly, his eyes listless. He had already tried just now; Wyper and the others had truly turned into stone. Perhaps only that woman could turn them back to their original state.

Dong~ Dong~ Dong...

A wave of heavy footsteps reached his ears, and the ground was trembling slightly. The Chief looked forward in surprise. What came into view was an ancient, simple great bell, covered in moss, and the inscriptions carved upon it were so familiar.

"Go, Golden Bell!!! Where did you find it?"

Karl sighed and said: "I'm sorry, Chief. Although she is my friend, her personality is rather overbearing; you should be able to feel that."

"I exhausted my words, but I couldn't make her abandon the idea of driving away the Shandian people. However, out of respect for me, she is willing to hand the golden bell over to you to help you fulfill the promise from 400 years ago."

"If you still don't agree, she will directly destroy the golden bell and leave the villagers in a petrified state forever."

Having said this, Karl turned his head with a troubled expression to look at Hancock not far away, then looked back at the Chief, and let out a long sigh.

"Chief, I will go talk to her again..."

The Chief said hurriedly: "No, thank you so much, Mr. Karl. The golden bell has been missing for hundreds of years; to have it returned is something I am already endlessly grateful for. You have already done your best."

"I agree to that Empress's condition." Karl raised an eyebrow.

"However, our people need some time to relocate, and we also don't know the way down."

"Don't worry about that, I will make arrangements when the time comes. I will definitely send you all back to your homeland on Jaya Island safely."

The Chief finally revealed a smile and gripped Karl's hand: "Thank you!" ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
