Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Chapter 293 291-The Privileges of the Deityforsaken Relic

Fernard leveraged his advantages as a transmigrator to rise rapidly through the ranks in Sourcewater City, becoming a favorite in the circle of the city lord.

Not only that, but he also exploited various trades and deceptions, reaping a rich harvest in the way of the warrior.

He possessed not just formidable strength but also an influential background.

Even the common folk of Sourcewater City said that if the position of power in Sourcewater City wasn’t hereditary, Fernard would be the most likely candidate to succeed the city lord.

This was sufficient testament to Fernard’s capabilities and background.

This battle was his proposal.

In terms of politics, Fernard didn’t quite grasp it.𝗈𝗏𝓵xt.𝓬𝔬𝐌

However, he understood the art of ingratiating himself with others. 

He knew that the current city lord harbored grand ambitions and wished to establish a significant enterprise.

However, constrained by a lack of supporters, the city lord had not yet voiced this proposal.

Now that Fernard had arrived, the city lord had found his supporter.

Fernard settled all the opposers one by one, even getting the city lord of Twin City to come forward and willingly make way for Sourcewater City.

Overjoyed, the city lord appointed Fernard as the supreme commander for this battle.

Valuing his life, Fernard naturally wouldn’t go to the front lines.

He elegantly claimed, “The key to victory lies thousands of miles away, in the strategy devised behind the scenes.”

The city lord didn’t understand, but Fernard took the time to explain it to him.

Oh, what a big deal that was!

Fernard gained even more favor from the city lord, who went on to build a command castle specifically for him.

Fernard’s hand holding the wine glass subtly quivered, his heart brimming with pride and self-satisfaction.

He considered himself fortunate; arriving in this world felt like activating a cheat code.

In the academy, there were beautiful senior students to tutor him, some even willing to use their own bodies to help Fernard enhance his strength.

Moreover, when the academy issued quests, Fernard always seemed to stumble upon adventures.

Take his first quest, for example; he accidentally trespassed into the territory of the Carnivorous Flower and was swallowed by a mutated Carnivorous Flower.

Far from dying, Fernard absorbed the nectar from the mutated Carnivorous Flower and miraculously gained the ability to absorb energy.

From then on, Fernard’s progress was unstoppable, as he encountered no resistance on his path to greatness.

He became the golden boy of Sourcewater City, rampaging as he pleased.

So when he saw the message on his panel, he was already well aware of everything about Ethan.

He knew all too well the turmoil Ethan had stirred up in Flame City.

But now, he had an opportunity.

He planned to utilize the power of Sourcewater City to cut Ethan down.

A smile played on Fernard’s lips; no matter how formidable Ethan might be as a Dark Lord, facing the might of an entire city was an impossible task.

Time swiftly passed as Fernard awaited the good news from the army.

After what felt like an eternity, the doors burst open abruptly.

A soldier, covered in dirt and soot, returned with a look of terror on his face, crying out to Fernard, “Lord Fernard, it’s all gone, all of it. Our entire army is gone.”

Fernard, slightly taken aback, spoke disdainfully, “Stop crying and speak clearly. What is gone?”

The soldier, as if he had seen a demonic entity from hell, trembled incessantly with fear:

“The army is gone… A floating fire entity in the sky… Just a single fireball from him swept us all away… and then we were all dead…”

Fernard sprang to his feet, raising his voice as he spoke, “Impossible. Our troops had magi among them, magi who mastered high-level magic. Even if we faced the magi from Flame City, it shouldn’t have posed any problem.”

The soldier burst into uncontrollable sobs, the traumatic scene replaying in his mind like a nightmare, “It’s not like that at all. That man wasn’t a magus; he was a deity. He said he was Ethan’s deity servant, sent to punish us.”

Fernard’s eyes widened in shock, and he found himself at a loss for words.

Shortly after, the lord of the city arrived, accompanied by numerous subordinates.

Their expressions were grave, dark enough to seem as if they could drip water.

Unable to maintain his composure, Fernard stepped forward, stuttering as he spoke, “Lord, have you heard?”

The city lord roared at Fernard, “Our Sourcewater City’s army has been wasted under your command. Now, you must give me an explanation.”

An official spoke loudly, “What explanation? Fernard must pay with his life; it was he who led this expedition…”

“That’s right, our hatred won’t be quenched unless Fernard dies.”

“Fernard must pay with his life…”

Seeing the fury of the crowd, fear instantly gripped Fernard’s heart.

However, he was powerful. He leapt directly from the castle, and his arrogant voice echoed through the air:

“If this place won’t have me, there are plenty of other places that will. You all just wait.”

…

Flame City.

Aneropo had already returned to rest amidst the flames.

As for inquiring about the secrets of becoming a deity, now was not the time.

Aneropo was already Ethan’s servant, and Lana·Mokos was not in a hurry at all.

Ethan was even less in a rush. Even if he knew how to become a deity now, he believed he did not possess the requisite strength to complete it at present.

Besides, Ethan’s use of the Soul Contract this time was not aimed at a minor character like Victor, but at a deity.

His Power of Soul was immensely drained, requiring much more time to recover.

Thus, Ethan, Lana·Mokos, and Hilna parted ways, with Ethan returning to his room to rest.

At this moment, the system dinged, and a message popped up.

[Heart of the City (Bound to Dark Lord City)] 

[Level: Divine Artifact] 

[Affiliation: Ethan.] 

[Description: The Heart of the City is a pivotal relic required to elevate a city to the divine realm. The wielder of the Heart obtains unmitigated authority over the city and enjoys a tenfold surge in power within its confines. Soldiers and creatures sworn to the city benefit from a marked boost in their capabilities. Moreover, upon their passing, their souls are ensnared by the Heart of the City.] 

[Current Status:] 

[Dark Lord City] 

[Level: 5] 

[City Size: 6000 square kilometers] 

[Prosperity: 32597] 

[Population: 150000] 

[Unlocked Areas: Factory Zone, Residential Zone, Dungeon Zone, Commercial Zone, Training Zone, Foring Zone]

Ethan absorbed the message, realizing only now that a significant amount of time had passed.

The Heart of the City had ascended to level five, and two new areas had been unlocked.

The first was the Training Zone, and the second was the Foring Zone.

Judging by their names, it was fairly straightforward: the Training Zone was definitely for training soldiers and armies, while the Foring Zone was likely for various industrial components, even weapons and equipment.

Ethan pondered that after wrapping things up in Flame City, he would need to return and take a look.

At that exact moment, Hilna knocked on the door and called out, “Ethan, may I come in?”

Ethan opened his eyes and whispered, “Enter.”

Hilna swayed her waist and walked in, looking at Ethan’s still somewhat pale face, her beautiful eyes tearing up once again, “Ethan, thank you.”

Ethan pulled Hilna to his side, shook his head slightly and said, “It’s alright, this is even my compensation for losing you.”

Hilna’s heart is filled with emotion, suddenly her pretty face turns red and she shyly lowers her head and says, “Has it been a long time since I’ve served you?”

Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing what Hilna meant by that, “It’s been a long time…”

Before Ethan could finish his sentimental words, Hilna placed her hand on top of Ethan’s cock.

Hilna’s body was as warm as soft jade since she became a Flame Witch.

Ethan felt a different kind of warmth drilling into his penis from Hilna’s hand.

Ethan reacted instantly.

The previous battle had been so tense that there was nothing more relaxing than a good fuck.

Ethan pressed Hilna’s face against his crotch, and Hilna couldn’t help but spit as she felt the cock against her face, “You’re so rough.”

“Don’t you like it?” Ethan pressed down on Hilna’s neck and roughly fed his cock into her mouth.

Hilna swirled her tongue and wrapped it up and down around the cock, even as her head cooperated very well with Ethan’s up and down movements.

Hilna felt Ethan’s cock bulge more and more and reached out with her jade hand to stroke Ethan’s balls.

Ethan looked at Hilna’s oxygen-deprived expression, coupled with Hilna’s tightening throat, and instantly lost his grip.

A wildly soothing feeling went straight to his head and Ethan took a deep, silent breath.

Hilna’s throat rolled again, completely milking Ethan of his cum.

Hilna wipes the white cum off the side of her lips with her fingertip and winks as she licks her fingertip, “Ethan, not only is your cum plentiful, but it’s thicker than milk.”

Ethan lay back on the bed and pointed to his cock which was still at its peak: “It seems that he isn’t satisfied.”

Hilna straddled Ethan’s body and eased the already small amount of clothing off his body, “Ethan, I make sure that he will be satisfied.”

With that said, Hilna sat directly on top of Ethan, letting his cock go straight to her pussy.

Hilna shrugged up and down, her fiery red hair bouncing constantly in sharp contrast to her bouncing snow white breasts.

Ethan grabbed Hilna by the waist and rammed upward hard.

“I’m going to ascend…” Hilna covered her mouth and still couldn’t hold back her cry out.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out, albeit untimely.

“Host Ethan, Deityforsaken Relic has now opened, and you are required to obtain the Authorization Proof.”

[Deityforsaken Relic: A relic left by the deities, the place in the world closest to the deities.]

[Authorization Proof: The Deityforsaken Relic is a restricted area, inaccessible to those without strength or great fortune. Therefore, the Authorization Proof is necessary. The Authorization Proof Quest has now been initiated.]

[Authorization Proof Quest: Collect one Celestial Blossom.]
