Chapter 893 - 471: Earth Knight and Apocalypse Knight

After a short while, villagers began to emerge from the small houses, men and women, young and old.

They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, with expressions of amazement on their faces.

At this time, an elderly man, supported by the villagers, came to Han Xing and the others.

"Distinguished Knights from afar, I am Barnaby, the village chief of Hundred Fruit Garden."

After saying this, the village chief was about to kneel before Han Xing and the others.

Han Xing quickly stopped him, "Chief Barnaby, there’s no need for formalities."

However, the village chief insisted, "According to the kingdom’s law, commoners must kneel before nobility."

"You knights protect the land of our Cloud Sea Kingdom from invasion, giving us a place to survive."

"You are more worthy of our respect than those noble lords."

After speaking, the village chief disregarded their protests and led the other villagers to kneel down simultaneously.

Everyone exchanged looks, not knowing how to act for a moment, and decided to stop protesting.

Moments later, all the villagers stood up.

Cheng Jianyong asked, "Chief Barnaby, you just mentioned that the land is under invasion. Who is attacking our Cloud Sea Kingdom?"

The old village chief replied, "It’s the Cliff Kingdom. They are deploying an army of knights, directing those giant dragons to invade us. Many villages and cities have suffered invasions from the Cliff Kingdom."

Cheng Jianyong continued to ask, "And why did the war start?"

This old village chief seemed somewhat puzzled to hear this question.

After all, in his understanding, these issues are common knowledge.

Even the newborns of Cloud Sea Kingdom know this.

And they are not only asking who is invading the Cloud Sea Kingdom but also why the war started.

Though puzzled, Chief Barnaby continued, "Because those noble lords are competing for the title of Legendary Knight."

"Legend has it that only in the war of blood and fire can the strongest knight be forged."

"And the ultimate victor will become the Legendary Knight."

"Then, this Legendary Knight will receive the divine summons, opening the sacred Gate of Heaven."

"Gate of Heaven?" Han Xing asked again.

When Han Xing asked this question, the surrounding villagers were already suspicious.

They exchanged looks and became alert.

Some villagers even began cautiously moving back.

However, as beings possessing demigod-level combat strength, their little movements could hardly escape Han Xing’s eyes.

Han Xing simply waved his hand.

The villagers instantly entered a bewildered state.

Eyes vacant, staring dazedly ahead.

This was a small trick of divine power application.

Han Xing continued to ask, "What is the Gate of Heaven?"

The old village chief shook his head dazedly, "I don’t know... According to legend, behind the Gate of Heaven is the abode of divine spirits."

"Only the strongest knight is qualified to go to the Gate of Heaven."

Divine spirits?

Everyone exchanged looks, could there really be divine spirits in this world?

Han Xing looked over at the God of Radiance.

The God of Radiance pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Master, I haven’t sensed any aura of divine spirits."

"Of course, it could be that they have used some means to hide themselves."

Han Xing nodded and decided not to dwell on this issue further.

He asked the village chief questions just to understand the basic situation of this world and locate the Light God’s Treasure Vault.

So, Han Xing continued to ask, "Do you know about the God of Light?"

The group of villagers all shook their heads in confusion.

It seems they don’t know about this either.

Then clues must be sought from these so-called divine spirits.

However, to find these divine spirits, one must first open the Gate of Heaven.

Hence, Han Xing asked, "How is the Gate of Heaven opened?"

Chief Barnaby continued to shake his head, "I... I don’t know..."

The village chief seemed to be in a state of knowing nothing, which is typical under mind control.

Han Xing continued to ask, "Is there anyone who knows?"

Chief Barnaby paused, then said bewilderedly, "His Majesty the King should know."

"He is hailed as the Knight of Destiny and is the most hopeful to become the Legendary Knight."

Everyone exchanged looks, not expecting to uncover some crucial clues in this small village.

Han Xing continued to ask, "Where is His Majesty the King now?"

Chief Barnaby continued to shake his head in confusion.

This was true of the other villagers as well.

Han Xing furrowed his brows, "Does anyone know the king’s whereabouts?"

Chief Barnaby continued, "You... can go to Fuyun City and check..."

"Fuyun City... is the territory of the Duke of Blington. He is the Earth Knight of the Cloud Sea Kingdom... and should know the king’s location..."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded again.

Through this village chief’s dialogue, they have already acquired many clues.

And now, their purpose is clear.

That is to first find this so-called duke, then through him locate the King of the Cloud Sea.

Afterwards, they can inquire about the clues regarding the ’Gate of Heaven’.

As for the village chief’s mention of the Duke of Blington possessing the strength of an Earth Knight.

Although they don’t know how powerful an Earth Knight is, to the current Han Xing and others, there’s basically no existence in this small world that can threaten them.

Cheng Jianyong said at this time, "By the way, Brother Xing, why don’t we just have the God of Radiance directly release divine power to investigate?"

"With his strength, this small world could be enveloped in his divine power domain, right?"
