Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 134: Going to the Dark Sacred Well

"I guess Chang'an is probably going to announce that he and Jiaozi are going to seize power openly."

Relying on his innate advantages as a time traveler, Yi Yin made an extremely accurate prediction.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Everyone mixed in the crowd and saw the words written in black and white on the imperial edict:

Today, the foreigners from the Cloud Sea Kingdom are also under the command of our Taras. We will soon arrange accommodation and work for them. All of us from our country will be treated equally, without discrimination. Also, Changsheng has returned, and a duel will be held before the Emperor tomorrow. This is hereby announced to the world.

King Talas XXIII Chang'an

"Bulu Bulu! Quack, quack!"

Looking at Jiaozi's slightly childish face, Sibu Xiang was sitting on Bubulu's coffin, laughing so hard that he fell over, which was really hilarious.

"It seems that Uncle Nurman has made good contacts with Chang'an," Di Qi thought. "It seems that as Alfonso said, he and Chang'an really have a close relationship."

"Shouldn't we be worrying about dumplings now?"

Selina said anxiously, "Given his personality, he will definitely repeat the same mistake he made before and sacrifice himself to keep his brother alive!"

In the end, nothing has changed.

In sharp contrast to the depressed crowd, there were people shouting from time to time.

It turns out that the Taras have been warlike since ancient times, and no matter who they are, wild blood flows in their bodies. They believe that they can tame any foreigner.

At this moment, Chang'an suddenly appeared on the highest platform of the palace with Jiaozi.

It seems that Chang'an and Jiaozi have already had some negotiations. Jiaozi's steps are very awkward, and his fingers are constantly making strange gestures, which makes people confused.

"Jiaozi must have a deep meaning behind this."

Yi Yin looked back and saw Goering in the crowd. Goering gestured to them to follow her.

"(Can this woman be trusted?)"

Xuanwu looked at Yiyin.

"I don't know. But we don't have any other acquaintances in Taras."

After saying that, Yiyin shrugged his shoulders and followed Goering out of the crowd with everyone else.

.

Goering led them to a deserted alley, and only spoke to them after confirming that no one else had followed.

"Changsheng asked me to tell you not to worry about him. After all, Chang'an is his elder brother, and the duel in front of the emperor was just a show. The hand gestures he made just now were a code we invented together. In the entire Blue Star, only we two understand it."

Hearing Goering say this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. This at least proved that Goering was really Jiaozi's childhood friend, and a friend of a friend was still a friend. There was no need to worry that Goering would stab them in the back.

"But... you haven't explained... how you were wary of the Queen..." Selina asked hesitantly.

"..."

Goering's green eyes flashed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"There's nothing to hide. Since you're all Changsheng's friends, it's okay for me to tell you."

Ever since Goering could remember, she and Jiaozi had been good friends. Not only did they study secret codes together, they also walked through the entire slum together, marked many dark alleys, and dug many tunnels.

The name "Jiaozi" was the name he originally used in the slums, because Jiaozi's mother dreamed of her favorite dumplings when she gave birth to him, but Goering did not expect that he would use this name as his pseudonym.

Later, after experiencing the "Dark Holy Well" incident, Jiaozi was possessed by Ilibu and had to wear a mask and travel to the Liufang Continent under a false name.

Later, Chang'an ascended the throne. Taras was facing internal and external troubles, so Chang'an had to do it himself. He first decided to renovate the slums, and it was there that he met Goering.

At this point, Goering sneered, "Back then, I was also a brave man who had the courage to assassinate the king. I knew that Changsheng's death was closely related to Chang'an, so I launched a surprise attack on Chang'an with the determination to die... Although I failed in the end, Chang'an appreciated me very much. He thought I was brave and gave me the opportunity to study at the Wilshire base."

Wilshire Base?

Yiyin felt something was wrong, but Goering did not give him time to think, but continued:

"After becoming a Monster Master, I decided to pledge my loyalty to Chang'an. And the best way to do that is to become his queen."

"Ah? But what does this have to do with allegiance?"

Bubulu, the guy who couldn't read the air, was confused again. Selina covered his mouth to prevent him from asking any more outrageous questions.

"Isn't this right? I can feel that Chang'an has no interest in you at all."

Although he didn't know why, Di Qi still said with rich emotion, "After all, the Queen is just a cover to deceive others."

"Hahaha, you're right."

Goering actually admitted it generously!

"Chang'an is the most ambitious man I've ever met. After inheriting the throne, he wanted to carry out drastic reforms, uprooting the rotten Talas system and promoting good governance."

"However, this is easier said than done. As king, Chang'an has many things to consider. Not only does he have to balance the forces of all parties, but he also has to clean up the mess left by the previous king. All of this takes time."

What Goering said seemed to be from his heart, which greatly increased their trust in Goering.

"No wonder Chang'an and Alfonso get along so well. To some extent, they are quite similar..." Yi Yin thought to himself as he said:

"So, Chang'an chose to post the imperial edict at this time to deflect attention? What he decided to do was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight, and it could even be argued that many people would oppose it. That's why he took advantage of Jiaozi's return to make such a big fuss."

In this way, Chang'an is indeed a wise monarch! Everyone's impression of Chang'an has improved a lot.

Goering looked at everyone and seemed to have made up his mind.

"Well, since you are Jiaozi's friends, I think you should be able to help him. I'll just say it straight out. Chang'an wants to destroy the cruel selection system of the Dark Sacred Well and purify the Ilibu in Changsheng's body, but this requires an adventure... and someone to create it."

As he spoke, Goering's green eyes swept over everyone one by one.

"The code word Changsheng gave me was to take you outside the city and have you wait for him there. But now I have changed my mind. I have decided to take you to the Dark Holy Well and have you solve the mystery with him."

"Everything about the hero Morris and the origin of Ili Bu will be revealed tonight. If Chang'an chooses to leave tonight and escape again, he will miss his only chance to learn the truth."

"Lead the way."

Yi Yin looked at his companions, "Does anyone have any other ideas?"

"no!"

Everyone answered in unison. As companions who had been through life and death together, what would be the consequences of going to the Holy Well of Darkness or even the Hell of Fire?

Goering didn't expect Bubulu and others to be so straightforward, so she handed everyone a map.

"Time is limited. The duel before the emperor will begin at dawn. You must help Changsheng fulfill his wish before then! I will whisper in Chang'an's ear and make him pay as little attention to you as possible. In short, everything is up to you."

After saying that, Goering left as if using the hellhound's ability to cut through space.

Afterwards, Selina took the map and found a very cleverly designed entrance outside the palace wall.

.

A dark passage seemed to extend infinitely downwards, as if it could swallow up a person's soul.

Once you are caught by it or stuck in it, your reputation will probably be ruined.

"It's useless to say this now!"

Bubulu shouted to give himself courage, "Go!"

After saying that, Bubulu was the first to jump down.

Teach followed closely behind, and then Selina.

Seeing everyone jumping in one after another like dumplings, Yiyin was also ready to jump in.

"Senior Xuanwu, are you okay? Can you jump?"

"(Of course I have no problem with that. You go ahead and jump first, I'll cover you.)"

After saying this, Xuanwu seemed to have thought of something and said again:

"(Also, Yiyin, remember not to look up when you jump!)"

"Uh……"

Yi Yin smiled awkwardly and jumped down behind Selina.
