Chapter 247 Hassaka: At Least Hold on Until You Don't Cry Out Loud (10K)
The sun was high, yet Hassaka remained awake.
Cough, cough... In short, the nighttime gym session passed amidst a sobbing voice.
Hassaka suddenly realized the gap between herself and Kael, not just in terms of complementing each other's "flaws," but that she could no longer tolerate Kael.
This was a sad truth.
She suddenly recalled the novels of the Undead she used to secretly read under her blanket, where there were often settings of "Longevity Species looking down on Mortal Species."
The typical example was the Elf Clan from the neighboring Supreme Forest.
Thus, in some Undead novels that were not allowed to be circulated publicly, the poor elves repeatedly paid a severe price in various venues.
Elf Ranch.
Body modification.
Parasitic Tree.
Encounters of the Elf XX.
…
In short, it showed the Elf Clan's haughty long-lived nature that made everyone feel troubled!
Let's adjust to make everyone feel comfortable!
Recalling some stories recorded in the pamphlets she had read, Hassaka felt embarrassed and her heart raced.
However, now she seemed to understand the feelings of those elves somewhat.
After all, the stronger the bloodline, the longer one tends to live; the longer one lives, the stronger one tends to be, and the stronger one is, the healthier; the healthier one is, the more…
Reflecting on the sorrowful yet joyful experience filled with sobbing at night, she understood!
You wouldn't want to shout "where is my husband" to lighten the mood at night, only to have those verdant legs squeeze a short-lived wild man into two halves with a slight force, would you?
Alright… Such descriptions are indeed exaggerated, but Hassaka suddenly felt her fighting spirit ignite.
The goal was set! At least strive not to cry out loud!
…
Kael wasn't aware of Hassaka's little thoughts.
Having just vented his emotions, he felt his mental state greatly restored, and the subtle worries about the future that had been lingering in his heart diminished significantly at this moment.
Calculating the time, tomorrow the Bartlet Monarch will arrive at Lancaster Territory. For the arrangement of associated matters, Kael had prepared adequately, except for a few small details that needed additional arrangements from Shadow Garden.
Today, Kael had something planned for a long time to do.
Soon, after arriving near Wandong City, also located within the underground cave, Kael noticed some changes in the surrounding environment.
Faint luminescence filled the passage, resembling little stars lighting up the space.
Kael walked to the edge of the wall, gently touched the wall with his finger, and a bit of luminescence stuck to his fingertip. Rubbing his forefinger and thumb lightly, a slick feeling of algae spread from the surface.
"Glowing moss? Isn't this the special moss that only exists in some underground worlds?"
"Yes, Lord, for these rare anaerobic mosses, they usually appear more commonly in traditional types of Dungeons."
A muffled voice came, and Kael saw a goblin with a small respiratory device on his mouth, wearing a white lab coat, standing in front of a group of goblins, waving gently towards Kael.
"Dr. Osborne, why are you here this time?" Kael was somewhat surprised.
With Osborne's personality, he would rarely leave the lab unless absolutely necessary.
During the first dungeon exploration period, Dr. Osborne frequently participated in Wandong City's future layout due to the comprehensive failure of the strategic faction, which led to a situation imbalance and necessitated the intervention of the refugee faction he was part of.
Now seeing Wandong City restored to its former peace, naturally, it wasn't necessary for him to come out personally.
Kael also understood Dr. Osborne's thoughts; most of the time, without special matters, he wouldn't want to bother this goblin researcher who was engrossed in scientific research.
"I couldn't help it; after hearing the news, I couldn't sleep well and have been waiting for you to come down."
Dr. Osborne shrugged his hands, showing a slightly playful yet somewhat helpless expression:
"You also have to consider what the highest completion product of the Heavenly Ladder Plan, the [Elemental Furnace], means to us goblins."
Kael nodded to show his understanding of Dr. Osborne's thoughts, but moments later, a subtle expression appeared on his face as he said:
"Speaking of which, the energy center of Wandong City uses the related technology of the Elemental Furnace, doesn't it?"
"Let's walk while talking." As Osborne walked, he almost stumbled.
With a dissatisfied look, he took out a controller from his pocket, and after a set of inputs, eight mechanical tentacles extended from the backpack behind him.
Under the control of the mechanical tentacles, each leg stood steadily on the cave floor, which was only lit by spots of luminescence.
"Alright, let's keep walking… By the way, are these glowing mosses planted around here by you?"
Hearing Kael ask about this, Dr. Osborne said proudly:
"How is it, isn't my idea great? These were products from some old research projects found in the Wandong City Research Institute, considered our final bit of plan."
