The Dark King
chapter-837

“Did you come to find us because you expected it?”The priest’s tone wasn’t friendly as he coldly stared at Dudian. She didn’t have anything to hide.

Dudian indifferently said: “I have been waiting for more than twenty days. I have guessed that you have designs on me but I don’t know the details. It wasn’t until you wanted to know about the god’s wall that I knew that it wasn’t a problem. The God’s wall is very vast and most of the territory is uninhabited. Moreover the environment should be considered as heaven compared to this place. It is able to accommodate you.”

The eyes of the priest slightly moved: “How do I know whether what you said is true or not?”

“If I didn’t tell you at the beginning, I would have guessed your thoughts and told you directly. Would you be more willing to believe it?”Dudian taunted: “I can pretend that I don’t know anything and answer you foolishly. Then you will be skeptical and take the time to speculate. What is the meaning of this? “What you are seeking is to move to the wall. It is a very, very, very small matter. It is as if there is an insect flying in your village. No one will even notice it. Of course, this is not an appropriate metaphor but it is the truth.”

Amelia looked at the great priest. She was shocked. According to Dudian’s words, the territory of the wall was unimaginably vast?

The great priest’s face was cold, “I know about the wall. I know that the wall is extremely tough and can resist the invasion of most of the beasts. There are millions of people living there. But I want to know what the world inside the wall is like. Is it a world where the weak are prey to the strong? The weak are servants and the strong are respected.”

Dudian chuckled: “It seems that any world is like this. Aren’t you here?”

“Impudent!”Amelia shouted: “We are not like this. We are very peaceful. There has never been a war!”

“There is no war because they have been tamed without greed.”Dudian looked at her, “If there is another girl in the village who has replaced your position as the goddess but you can only be an ordinary villager. Will you be willing to eat the same disgusting food as them? What will you do if you are not willing? There is no war but the weak are still servants. You are respected!”

Amelia was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She gritted her teeth: “I, I will not!”

Dudian shrugged his shoulders.

The priest coldly stared at Dudian. It had been a long time since anyone had talked to her in such an attitude. She was angry but she knew that Dudian had the hope that they would continue. She pondered for a moment, “In a sense, you are right. But the law of the jungle is different. There are naked and hidden in the dark. I don’t know which one is in the wall.”

“The second one.”Dudian said without hesitation. He knew what the priest was worried about. If the first one was the naked law of the jungle then there would be no benevolence on the surface, it would be the most brutal world. It meant that the strong could wantonly kill and plunder. There would be no order and rules.

The iron rule of “The strong preys on the weak”was hidden in the darkness. In a sense, it was a distinction between human society and the animal world, but this was the biggest difference between humans and animals!

In the animal world, strength was not enough and they would become prey.

In the human world, intelligence was not enough. They would be eaten until there were no bones left.

The priest nodded slightly. She was relieved. She could see that Dudian wasn’t lying. Moreover, the first possibility was low, she asked: “Can you tell us the location of the Wall?”

Dudian’s heart moved, “Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to go there. It is a long way and I have gone through many hardships to get here. I will tell you that there are few monsters in the area around the wall. People like priory can hunt there at any time. The number and strength of monsters are much higher in the far places. The farthest place is the area where you live. We call it the abyss and it is usually forbidden to enter.”

Amelia was surprised and asked: “Is it because the beasts here are more powerful?”

“Yes.”Dudian nodded, “No one would easily enter this place unless they are seeking death. We usually hunt in the wilderness outside the abyss. Moreover the area inside the giant wall is vast. We don’t need to hunt to maintain our lives. We only need to grow crops. We are hunting because we want to expand the area. We hope that one day we can eliminate all the monsters in the world. In that case we will be the only ones left here. We can go anywhere.”

Naturally, he had replaced his own expectations and wishes. The reason why the Hunter family was hunting was because of the needs of the Monster Research Institute and the Kingdom of God.

“Eliminate all the monsters?”Amelia knew that Dudian was talking about the monsters. Her eyes lit up as she heard Dudian’s words, “Can we completely eliminate all the monsters? It would be good if the Aragami were still around. Perhaps we would be able to go anywhere in the world like you said. Unfortunately, we humans can only curl up here. These monsters are too strong. There are too many of them and they are multiplying fast. It is impossible to kill all of them…” His eyes were gloomy and his face was full of depression.

“Although the task is difficult but how do we know if we don’t do it? After all, we humans used to be the rulers of this world!”Dudian’s eyes lit up.

Amelia was surprised: “We are the rulers of this world? How is it possible!”

“How is it not possible?”Dudian looked at her as if it was a matter of course.

The priest stared at Dudian, slowly he said: “You are right. Before the great calamity we humans were the strongest race in the world. But since the death of the Aragami we no longer exist. I hope that there are still surviving Aragami in this world who will lead us to the strongest!”

Dudian slightly raised his eyebrows. He thought that it had nothing to do with the Aragami. But from her words it seemed that they didn’t know much about the things that happened before the cataclysm. Otherwise they wouldn’t think so highly of the Aragami.

He didn’t continue to delve into this issue, he went back to the topic: “After I go to the Underground Dragon Cave, I will tell you the location of the divine wall regardless of whether the Aragami can improve my strength or not. However, it is alright for you to live in hiding here. If you move there there will be no more than five people who can reach the divine wall alive.”

“No!”The priest frowned: “You have to tell us the location of the wall.”

“Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to go.”Dudian helplessly emphasized.

The priest coldly said: “How do you know that we won’t be able to go? We will be able to find a way to go to the wall. Even if we can’t find a way, our next generation will be able to find a way to move to the wall.”

Dudian thought that it wasn’t a big deal for them to go to the wall. It was more than enough to accommodate them. Even if there was a conflict, Aristotle would be the one to solve it, “Alright, I will draw the route to the wall for you. Whether you can go or not depends on you. However, I can only draw half of it for you. I will draw the rest for you when I come out of the cave.”

Amelia was angry: “Are you worried that we will go back on Our Words?”

“Of course.”Dudian replied.

Amelia was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She stomped her feet as she didn’t know what to say to Dudian.

The priest said: “This won’t do. If you draw the wrong route then we will be at a disadvantage.”

“It seems that we don’t trust each other.”Dudian frowned. Trust was a problem. Moreover their ancestors had suffered losses from outsiders so it was difficult to establish trust.

The priest also saw the problem. He pondered for a moment: “I have an idea. You take Amelia back to the wall. After you finish the task Amelia will write a letter for you to bring back.”

Dudian frowned. It would be a bit of a delay. After all, he had experienced danger and spent a lot of time. It would take months for him to go back and forth.

“What if he kills me?”Amelia was nervous and worried when she heard that she was going to leave with Dudian.

The priest said: “So, let Mr. Dudian keep your lover here. I will…”

“No!”Dudian refused before she finished her sentence: “I won’t keep her here.”

The priest didn’t expect that Dudian’s reaction would be so fierce. He frowned: “She is just a dead body. We won’t do anything to her. What do you have to worry about?”

“No need to say anything. I Won’t keep her here as collateral.”Dudian’s face turned cold. His eyes flashed with cold light and his body emitted waves of killing intent.

The priest knew that Dudian was angered so he didn’t say anything else.

Amelia heard the priest’s words and wanted to jump. She didn’t expect that Dudian’s reaction was stronger than hers. She was so angry that her eyes were wide open, she looked at dudian: “Can’t my life be compared with hers? She is dead but I am still alive!”

Dudian’s fingers cracked as he looked at her: “If you say one more word then you are dead!”
