Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 822: Vol V Chapter 182

“So... is it considered complete?”

“Somewhat.”

“But you’re still unable to control it fully?”

“I’m having a hard time. It’s not something that can be done in 10 or 20 years. As long as it’s in your possession and safe, I’m not worried.”

“But I am!”

“Why are you worried? I’m young, and I’m relaxed, you’re already so old, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“I’m afraid that I’d be swallowed whole. What if I die?”

“Come to your senses. You’re still a respected leader after all, so you need to maintain some face.”

Sui Xiong sighed deeply and felt frustrated.

This fellow was already so old, and yet he was still being extremely stubborn. What was worse was that he was begging for Sui Xiong to save his life in such a pitiful and lowly way.

Sui Xiong was someone who had little patience for the stubborn and weak. Of course, if the other party were someone disliked or hated, he would not care at all. However, even if the other party was confused like a desperate, lost sheep, he would just give them a quick shove on their way. He wouldn’t stop to pity them.

The Dragon of Chaos did not belong to these categories, though. Although he could not be considered a good person, he still handled matters in life steadfastly no matter what. He was the kind of person who would seek revenge but only in a logical way that did not threaten his own safety or wellbeing. Furthermore, he would do so in a transparent way instead of setting traps or using despicable tricks. Even if one were enemies with him, they would not deny this as well.

More importantly, he often gave “face” to others, causing them to like him in the long term. This was a special tactic by the Dragon of Chaos as those that he had shown face to would always remember him in a positive light. As for the onlookers during such situations, well, they of course admired him even more.

The Dragon of Chaos had also given Sui Xiong “face” before. That was in the past in the Goddess of Harvest’s God Kingdom, where the Dragon of Chaos had helped to rescue his disciples. Despite such a feat, he did not embarrass Sui Xiong and even gathered all the civil construction in the kingdom for Sui Xiong when he needed it later on. At that moment, he had specified that he did not owe anything, and Sui Xiong had been gratified by it.

In that case, now, Sui Xiong knew deep down that he owed the Dragon of Chaos favor in return even if he did not articulate it aloud.

Furthermore, this time he had sought out the Dragon of Chaos to borrow his treasures, and the latter had handled the request calmly.

Towards such charitable people, Sui Xiong took on a softer stance.

In the end, Sui Xiong was unable to convince the Dragon of Chaos and agreed to stay for a few more years. As he had already awoken from the enlightenment treasure’s binds, his alternate body entities in the God Kingdom had also regained consciousness. Thus, in this sort of situation, his several forms were enough to settle the issue. In any case, he did not have any warring situation to settle as well. action

With a lazy yawn and stretch, the green jellyfish that was sprawled across the conference desk like a decorative object slowly rose up and even uttered two lines of Chinese poetry.

“Who knows big dreams? I know myself in my life.”

Previously, he wanted to utter more phrases about awaking from Three Kingdoms. After all, he had countless poems memorized from that text. However, as he uttered his first two lines, he realized the entire conference room was decorated exquisitely and expensively, and he could not bring himself to continue speaking foolishly.

“Oh, you’re awake!” Morani was observing a strangely shaped knife, and he laughed at Sui Xiong’s actions.

“You took a rather long nap this time.”

“It’s only been ten years, that’s not too long.”

Morani thought about it and nodded slowly.

“Yes, that’s true. It’s just that usually, you’re extremely energetic. It feels strange for you to have minimal movement in ten years.”

As he spoke, a golden beam of light flashed in the conference room, and many gods rushed in one after another, kneeling, to acknowledge Sui Xiong’s awakening and greet him.

Time was of the essence, however, and after Sui Xiong spoke briefly with them, he regained full consciousness and began handling matters.

“Did anything major happen in the last few years?”

The God of Knowledge, Wall, thought for a while before replying.

“The Republic of Northwest has grown in size.”

“Oh? I know Double-Headed Stork City joined them. Who else did so?” Sui Xiong was rather curious.

“Three more. Firstly, there’s a new extension town, Pit Tree Town, which mainly trains explorers. They also offer loans for several explorer tools used for departed souls. The town’s chief executive is Tessa Tu Ya’an, a legendary mage specializing in departed souls and also Mr. Tu Ya’an’s sister.”

Sui Xiong nodded.

Tu Ya’an had always wanted to find a position for his sister. As he was extremely wealthy, by right, Tessa could spend her entire life lazing around in luxury if she wished. However, Tu Ya’an felt that it would be a waste of time if a young lady spent all her time watching shows or reading books for entertainment. He thus tried to find a job for his sister to pass the time. Whether or not the job paid well did not matter; it just had to fulfill two criteria of not being too tough and giving Tessa sufficient face. Being a town’s chief executive, which was equivalent to being the Republic of Northwest’s governor, simply required good planning and capable assistants to make the job manageable. Honor was also a given, as there were only a few areas under the Republic of Northwest. If one were able to oversee any of these areas, it would be seen as respectable.

With Tu Ya’an’s status, it was easy to initiate Tessa as the leader of an area. Once they had found a suitable area, he had created his own underground city. This ensured that the people of the city would always stay warm. With several other detailed preparations and enough manpower, the city was officially opened.

At the start, it was but a simple village, or rather one could say that it was mainly a training camp with a few big shops. Tu Ya’an had originally named the city “Big Tree City” as he intended to grow a huge tree here. However, this did not happen. The village continued expanding in size till it was big enough to be considered a town. As it was underground like a pit, people began to call the area “Pit Tree City,” and the name stuck.

Naturally, Tessa Ya’an became the town’s leader.

“I see. How about the other two lands?” Sui Xiong asked.

“One is a town that originally belonged to the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, near Double-Headed Stork City. The other is made up of barbarians in Northern Iceland; it was self-built by Jose.”

Wall paused for a while and hesitated before blurting out, “In that corner, almost everyone belongs to Jose’s family...”
