Chapter 349 Dawn is Coming?
The snake, a creature deeply rooted in many human myths and ancient legends, has an origin in beliefs that are impossible to verify... but the snake has existed since the beginning of human civilization.
I don't know when or where.
"Grey Snake, how many times have you been here?"
In the dimly lit passageway, a raven, shining a flashlight, looked around—the passageway leading to the location of the Lord was not only unusually narrow, but also filled with a damp, musty smell—was this some secret base of the organization that was rarely used?
"I've never been here before."
"Are you serious?"
"Just follow me, and I guarantee you will be able to meet the Lord."
Because of the height of the passageway, the edge of Gray Serpent's umbrella was pulled very low, completely obscuring his inhuman face, revealing only his chin and a hand covered by black clothes, which was firmly gripping the umbrella handle.
"Your Majesty, didn't we just meet yesterday...?"
Despite its suspicions, the raven had no choice but to follow the gray snake.
"We've arrived."
After countless turns, the passageway finally came to an end, where a heavy iron gate stood before the two.
"Natasha, you are very lucky."
Raven glanced at Gray Snake. Why did he suddenly call her by her name?
For her, luck wasn't about seeing the Lord again, but about making a fortune—no, not anymore. The island villa was nearing completion, and she was planning to pull off a few more heists before retiring from the life of a killer!
"Grey Snake, I think I told you I was leaving the company soon. You're not going to change your mind, are you?"
The gray snake shook its head.
"The snake won't interfere with your choices... Let's talk about this place. Do you know? Fifteen hundred years ago, this was the starting point for the Lord's return to the mortal world, and it was a sacred place in the hearts of us followers back then..."
"But since the Lord was sealed away on the other side, this place has been abandoned?"
The gray snake didn't answer her question, but walked straight to the iron gate and recited the password to open it.
"Destruction and rebirth".
The gate slowly opened, and a white-haired man sat on a high throne with his back to them, shrouded in shadow, his face obscured—but Raven remembered that face, that cold and stern face.
The man seemed to be deep in thought, and their arrival interrupted his contemplation.
"You've arrived."
The raven and the gray snake stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Kevin slowly stood up and stepped out of the shadows. His white hair shone with a cold luster in the dim light, and his blue eyes were as deep as an abyss, making the raven dare not look directly at him... As for the gray snake, he was trembling.
Those were incredibly cold and stern eyes. These eyes had witnessed miracles that mortals could only dream of, and had also endured the sorrow of the destruction of all things. But all of this, everything that these eyes had witnessed, had been eroded by the passage of time and forged by his extraordinary will, turning into cold and merciless ice.
"My lord, I apologize for disturbing your thoughts... We have brought with us the remains of Chi You—please forgive us for not being able to find anything better, but it can still help you regain some of your lost power."
"understood."
Kevin's gaze was calm, his eyes fixed on his followers—which made Raven start to have wild thoughts: Could it be that Gray Serpent went back on his word and wanted the Lord to veto my resignation? To kill me if he disagreed?
"Your name is Raven, right?"
"Yes, yes! That's right, Your Majesty."
Raven's heart tightened: if that were the case, it seemed she only had one option left—to donate her heart to the organization… She was truly afraid of dying!
Kevin nodded slightly.
Do you know "Danheng"?
"Huh? Who?"
Raven's palms were sweating with nervousness, fearing that Kevin would say, "Serve the World Serpent or choose death," and that would be the end of it.
Kevin looked at the bewildered raven, then at the gray snake.
"We apologize, Your Majesty, but we are incompetent."
Raven didn't know when Gray Snake had put away her umbrella. By the time she realized it, Gray Snake, now without her umbrella, was already kneeling on one knee at lightning speed, begging for forgiveness.
"World Serpent used almost all of its informants within Anti-Entropy, but they couldn't find a man named 'Danheng' by Anti-Entropy's Herrscher of Reason's side."
Kevin frowned slightly. He turned his back and was about to say something when the gray snake, kneeling on the ground, spoke again.
"However, we have found the whereabouts of the Herrscher of Reason and your weapon."
Gray Serpent's electronic voice could not conceal his fanaticism: Savior, only legendary weapons are worthy of him! Only legendary weapons are worthy of humanity's future "pioneers"!
If the Jackals hadn't been obstructing Destiny's acquisition of the Second Divine Key in Britain, there would be more than just the two of them coming to see the Lord to apply for a plan to steal the weapon!
Where are they?
"They are all in St. Freya, the Far East Branch of Destiny."
Grey Serpent firmly believes that the Herrscher of Reason is nothing special. At most, Welt can only disrupt World Serpent's plans temporarily, but the wheels of history keep turning, and can the Herrscher of Reason really stop the march of history?
If handled properly, this operation will yield far more than just the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.
"The Far East..."
Kevin nodded thoughtfully and sat back down on the throne.
"Go ahead, and report back promptly if you have any news. If necessary, I'll personally go and talk to them."
"I will obey your orders."
The respectful gray serpent led the raven away from this place—the Lord has returned from the deep sea, and a storm that will sweep across the world is about to arrive.
After overcoming the obstacles and obtaining the weapons, all they need to do is wait—wait for the Fourth Herrscher to arrive, and then conduct the experiment.
If all goes well, humanity, led by the World Serpent, will be reborn and live forever.
Dawn is approaching.

"Qiong, shall we talk?"
The atmosphere in the ward was heavy—at least for Qiong, it was especially heavy.
"Um, could you wait a moment?"
Qiong didn't know what to say. Without a doubt, this was a property loss incident triggered by an accidental conflict. He did have a plan: contact Silver Wolf by phone, then have Silver Wolf give him some more crystals (a casual thing for Ether Editor), and then apologize on behalf of Firefly and personally take Kiana to do some painting for a few days. That would be the end of it.
But why can't I get through now? Didn't we agree to help each other? Just because I kissed Mei... you're not going to help?
"No."
Qiong wanted to make another call, but Theresa wasn't going to give her a chance to delay. Theresa's face was stern, and her attitude was extremely serious.
"This needs to be made clear now, do you know what that means?"
"Headmaster, it's all my fault, please don't blame Sora!"
"Mei-neechan, lie down!"
Mei, lying in her hospital bed, suddenly got up and tried to defend Sora.
"It was my loss of control at the time that inadvertently gave the Herrscher an opportunity; ultimately, it's still my fault—"
"Mei, stop talking."
Qiong waved his hand; he would take care of this. The Himeko family was in complete disarray, their financial losses undoubtedly substantial. If Mei was to take responsibility, then her father, Ryoma, would have to pay for it, and Ryoma's compensation would, without a doubt, be paid for by Old Yang of Anti-Entropy…
The thought of having to ask Lao Yang for help later made Qiong feel that this was not a good idea—if all else failed, he could just pull out his quill pen and perform a miracle in front of everyone… Using it once or twice shouldn’t attract Leiera, right?
perhaps.
"Um...we don't seem to be talking about the same thing, do we?"
"Theresa, stop putting on airs like a school principal at a time like this. Can't you be a little gentler with the children?"
Qiong turned her head to look in the direction of the sound. Siegfried was locking the door from the inside, and then he came up to her with a smile.
"Little Qiong, I just heard about it. Your dashing appearance reminds me quite a bit of Cecilia and me when we were young—"
"You old rascal, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing this, Kiana, who had been secretly dropping small pearls in the corner, rushed forward, grabbed Siegfried, and retreated.
Qiong was speechless. He had been thinking about how to compensate the Himeko family for the losses suffered by Ryuko and Mei, but the result was quite different from what he had imagined.
"Headmaster, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Verify if it is a Kallen stigmata."
Qiong: ?
Before Theresa could speak, Yae Sakura, who was staring intently at her, spoke.
"Secretary Yae, what is this...?"
Deep-seated memories surged into Qiong's heart.
Although it felt like a very long time to him, it felt like only yesterday that he had explained to her that he wasn't Kallen...
"nothing."
Theresa shrugged.
"You don't need to worry about Himeko's family's affairs. The Herrscher of Thunder is out of control, and I, the headmaster, have already prepared emergency repair funds."
After all, it's just a matter of reimbursing Otto, and whether it's the crystals they gave him or the crystals that are still at Himeko's house and haven't been rescued yet, it's enough to make up for the economic losses—or even make a profit.
“However, I just discussed it with a few of them. Yae Sakura said yours is the ‘Kallen Kaslana’ stigmata, while Siegfried and I feel it looks more like Cecilia’s, so…”
"So you want to perform a verification to confirm whose stigmata it is? Just for that?"
Qiong sighed and rubbed her forehead. What a small matter! Let me tell you, you're all wrong! It's Kiana Kaslana!
Theresa put her hands on her hips and nodded.
“That’s right, we don’t agree on this Stigmata, so it’s necessary to confirm it.”
"I don't think it's necessary, and it's too much trouble..."
"Don't worry, it's not troublesome at all. The academy has specialized equipment, and even..."
Theresa gave a mysterious smile.
"You can even see the memories within the stigmata."

Successfully got handsome after staying up all night (it's so hard to win over Su Fen).
I looked at Ellie's new armor, then at my crystals... I'm seriously short!
Speaking of a place with Ellie, called "New Ellie City," what do you think?
