The territory of the Monster Region was extremely vast. Back then, the Spirit Snake and I had traveled from the Northern Province to King City with the Black Dragon Beast under our feet.
Of course, this was mostly due to the fact that we were constantly on the move, as well as the fact that we took a huge detour from the Western and Southern Provinces.
However, even if we were to disregard these factors, it would take us at least a month to reach King City with the Black Dragon Beast.
From this point, it was impossible for the Dog Head Tribe to travel such a long distance in half a month. They should have started their journey during the forty-nine days of night. Furthermore, they had ferocious beasts that weren't inferior to the Black Dragon Beast as their means of transportation.
This matter wasn't worth mentioning. After all, the subordinates of Pu Laer would carry out Pu Laer's orders strictly.
However, if this matter was combined with the fact that Pu Laer allowed me to get together with Vivian, explained the cultivation above the Monster Ruler to me and even took the initiative to give me land, it would be very unusual.
All the signs showed that Pu Laer treated me very well. Furthermore, this kindness couldn't be explained by the need for talents in the Monster Region.
In this kind of explanation, everything else was understandable. It was either something that I had to do or something that I should do with my status. However, the matter of bringing the Dog Head Tribe to King City in advance couldn't be explained.
Pu Laer was a Fourth Grade Monster Ruler, the ruler of the Monster Region!
However, his attitude towards this matter wasn't just friendly, it was rather humble.
In simpler terms, it was something that he didn't need to think about. It wasn't something that a superior should do. However, he did it. Why was that?
I kept thinking about this question on the way to welcome the Dog Head Tribe, but I couldn't find an answer. In the end, I could only attribute it to my sensitivity.
The Dog Head Tribe departed from the Northern Province. Thus, they didn't reach King City via the Southern Pier, but the Northern Gate.
When I reached there, the two sides of the Northern Gate were filled with King City guards. Even the road had been cleaned.
Not far from the Northern Gate sat a dozen enormous bird-type ferocious beasts. They had four limbs under their abdomens and their bodies were covered in tiger stripes. They were the Yingzhao Beasts that were rarely seen in the Monster Region. They looked similar to the Yingzhao Beasts that I had ridden before. However, they were several times larger and their rarity couldn't be compared to the Yingzhao Beasts.
Between the Yingzhao Beasts and the north gate, hundreds of Dog Head Clan members stood there cautiously, waiting quietly.
There were a few hundred of them standing together, forming a dense mass. They seemed to be much more numerous than the Kobolds I had seen in Green Water Village. However, since they were migrating their entire tribe, the Kobolds who were servants in the city should have been found and brought along.
Standing in front of the crowd were Namu and Chief Bill.
The expressions of the two were completely different. Chief Bill's face was full of hardships and worries. He stood there with a pair of dim yellow eyes looking into the distance without any spirit. On the other hand, Nam's face was full of excitement and anticipation. He would occasionally tiptoe and look around.
At this moment, Nam was already in the middle stage of the Demon King Realm. Of course, this kind of cultivation was nothing in Monarch City. The lowest requirement for the Monarch City guards standing beside them was to be a Demon King. The two people standing beside them who looked like generals had the cultivation of a Demon God. Judging from their identity as werewolves, they were most likely escorting them all the way here.
Seeing my appearance, Nam cheered. He raised his arm and shouted, "Duo Ji, I knew it was you!
I told them that it was you, but they didn't believe me … Now you know, it's Duo Ji who has become our Kobold Monster Emperor! "
The latter part of his sentence was obviously said to his clansmen behind him.
I was a little curious. They had already rushed all the way to Monarch City, but why didn't they know who the Kobold Monster Emperor was?
After asking, the werewolf Monster God didn't wait for Nam to reply. He bowed and replied, "Esteemed Monster Emperor, your name is as dazzling as the sun. It isn't something that lowly servants like us can call you directly. Furthermore, Emperor Pryor's orders didn't mention your name. Thus, when your clansmen asked, we didn't have an answer."
Previously in Rock City, not to mention the werewolf Monster God, even the most ordinary werewolf clansmen would raise their heads to the sky when they saw the Kobolds. But now, the werewolf Monster God actually referred to himself as a 'servant' in front of me. I couldn't help but say that the authority that came with such power was really intoxicating.
I didn't care about the two werewolf clansmen and only looked at Nam. I hugged him and laughed together.
"Duo Ji, even though I always felt that you would become the Kobold Monster Emperor, I didn't expect it to be so fast." Nam was the first to speak.
"I took a shortcut … Let's not talk about this first. You, on the other hand, reached the Monster King's cultivation in just a few years. Not bad."
Hearing what I said, Nam's expression darkened. He shook his head. "My talent is still too low. You gave me so many Beast Pills, but I only managed to graduate from Thaad Academy last year."
I smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. You said that you wanted to become the Kobold Monster Emperor. Even though you can't be the first, you can still be the second."
Nam curled his lips. It was obvious that he didn't agree with what I said, but he didn't say anything else. On the other hand, Village Chief Bill, who had been looking at me in a daze, suddenly muttered, "How can a Kobold Monster Emperor become a Monster Emperor?
You aren't … You aren't a Kobold Monster … "
Just as I noticed what he said, a King's City guard hurriedly ran over and told me that Emperor Pryor had already prepared a temporary residence for my clansmen in the inner city. Furthermore, he had something to discuss with me and asked me to head over.
Since Pryor had something to summon me, I had to head over. Thus, I instructed the guard to bring the Kobold Monster Tribe to settle down.
After explaining everything, just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered Nam's appearance when he told me about Emperor Pryor. Thus, I turned to ask him, "Nam, do you want to meet the Emperor Pryor that you worship?"
"Ah?"
Even the usually carefree Nam's expression froze when he heard my suggestion. After a short moment, he looked at me hesitantly and asked, "Can I?"
"Of course you can."
I didn't give him a chance to hesitate and grabbed his arm. With just two steps, we arrived at the entrance of the palace in the inner city.
Pryor was sitting alone in the palace. When he saw that I had brought Nam in, he had a confused expression. After a short moment, he recovered his usual smile and asked me, "Are these your clansmen?
I heard that they've already arrived at King's City. How was it? It was a bumpy journey. Were there any problems? "
I cupped my hands to express my thanks. "With your meticulous arrangements, of course there weren't any problems.
This is a good friend of mine. Many years ago, I've heard him talk about his worship of you. Since he's come to King's City, I brought him here to take a look. "
Pryor laughed heartily and didn't seem to mind. Instead, he warmly asked Nam a few questions about his name and cultivation.
Just a few simple words made Nam's face flush. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
After the short conversation, Pryor's gaze returned to me. He didn't care about Nam's existence and directly said to me, "Duo Ji, there's less than a month before the Primal Chaos Beast awakening ceremony begins. Do you know anything about this matter?"
Hearing that, I was stunned. Of course I knew about this matter. In reality, the main reason why I came to King's City was for this matter.
It's just that Pryor had never mentioned this matter to me before. Now that he suddenly asked me, I couldn't guess his motive. I even suspected that he knew something.
After a short moment, I suppressed the waves in my heart and nodded. "These few years, many people in the Monster region have been discussing about the four vicious beasts. I've heard about it."
Pryor nodded. His expression didn't reveal any clues as he continued to say, "The other three beasts have already awakened and the process was extremely smooth. However, the last Primal Chaos Beast is extremely strange."
I nodded and didn't say anything as I waited for him to continue.
"A few days ago, I told you about the source of power. You should understand what the word 'Primal Chaos' represents." Pryor continued to say.
"Primal Chaos?" My gaze focused. Could it be that this Primal Chaos Beast was related to the source of Primal Chaos?
Pryor seemed to have seen through my thoughts as he nodded. "You guessed correctly. The Primal Chaos Beast is born from the source of Primal Chaos. It's rumored that through the Primal Chaos Beast, one can peek into the source of Primal Chaos!"
My heart shuddered. On one hand, it was because of the information that he had told me. On the other hand, it was because I couldn't understand why he would tell me this.
Even though we weren't like the Dragon race who could only absorb the power of the source of Primal Chaos, the power was still much stronger than the source of our Monster power.
If the Demonic Thearchs were a group of sharks, then this information regarding the source of power would be the blood food that was scattered into the sea. Any shark that smelled the scent of the blood food would disregard everything and fight for it. Why would Pu Laer tell me such precious information?
Even Wu Jiuzhui wasn't here!
