Chapter 1566 Evil God Temple

Inside the mansion that resembled a garden, Shi Feng, led by the 150th-level NPC Head Butler, arrived at the Duke's mansion observation deck.

As the only Grand Duke of the Star-Moon Kingdom, his position was second only to the King.

The construction of the mansion was naturally extraordinary.

The observation deck alone was the envy of countless players. Suspended in mid-air, with floating stairs made of Septenary Crystal Stones for access, even the scenery from the Star-Moon Restaurant's rooftop could not compare. In terms of pure height, only the Royal Palace and the Star-Moon Auction House could surpass the Duke's observation deck.

Standing on the observation deck felt like standing on a cloud, giving a sense of overlooking all living beings. The breeze brushed against his cheeks, providing indescribable comfort. Even though the magic density here wasn't high, his entire mind was emptied.

Enjoying delicacies here would be an unparalleled pleasure.

In the previous life, many large guilds had tried to build such observation decks in the cities they managed, including the Underworld Guild. However, they only discovered how expensive it truly was during construction.

The materials for the suspended platform alone were incredibly precious. Although not as rare as the superconductive Septenary Crystal Stones, they were still rare Floating Stones in God's Domain.

A fist-sized Floating Stone on the market cost dozens of gold coins, and one could imagine how many gold coins it would take to build an observation deck the size of a basketball court. Not to mention that the floating stairs themselves were made of Septenary Crystal Stones, the main material for creating mental spaces. How many people could afford to use them to make floating stairs? They would probably be snatched away by other players as soon as they were made.

Even if the floating stairs were made of inferior materials, the cost of building the observation deck was beyond the means of the Underworld Guild, which controlled several city-states at the time. Only super guilds in the entire God's Domain had such financial resources and background.

At this time, on the observation deck, besides the third-tier level 200 Grand Duke Hartfield, there was also a middle-aged man wearing silver holy armor and a pure white cloak. The sword at his waist was inlaid with dazzling gemstones, and the entire scabbard was engraved with golden divine runes, revealing holiness and extravagance.

Looking at this sword, Shi Feng had no doubt that just walking around on the street with it would immediately make him the focus of everyone's attention, and countless beautiful female players and sword-loving experts would flock to him.

As for this middle-aged man, Shi Feng was also very familiar with him.

His name was Ryan?Rette, the captain of the Star-Moon Kingdom's Royal Guard, and also a 200th-level fourth-tier Sword Emperor. Even White River City's number one expert, Whiteman, was no match for him. He was hailed as the closest person to a Sword Saint in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Within the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, there were five-tier NPCs, but these NPCs did not belong to the Kingdom. They all came from the major NPC forces in God's Domain, such as Ukarus, the master of the War God Temple in the Royal City, whom even the King treated with great respect.

In addition, there was the extremely mysterious Xia Lian. Although Shi Feng didn't know which NPC faction Xia Lian belonged to, she also didn't belong to the Star-Moon Kingdom.

It could be said that the Ryan?Rette in front of him was the strongest NPC in the Star-Moon Kingdom besides Grand Marshal Adolf?Serret.

At this time, a Grand Duke and a Royal Guard Captain were sitting together. Ordinary players would probably be so frightened that they wouldn't dare to move or say a word, but Shi Feng naturally walked towards them, while the Head Butler respectfully stood aside without following.

"The two big shots of the Star-Moon Kingdom are together, it seems there really are some problems in the Star-Moon Kingdom now." Shi Feng was even more certain of his guess.

The appearance of the Evil God Temple meant that something big was about to happen, which was almost a law in God's Domain.

Shi Feng clearly remembered that the emergence of the Evil God Temple had resulted in nearly half of the Lionheart Empire being destroyed, and even the super guild that ruled the Lionheart Empire had suffered heavy losses, not to mention other guilds, which shocked the entire God's Domain at the time.

At that time, no one had expected that an NPC dark force would be so powerful. With the foundation of an empire and the strength of a super guild, they only managed a pyrrhic victory...

Afterwards, the Evil God Temple was known to many players in God's Domain. Whenever they discovered anything related to the Evil God Temple, players would take immediate action to deal with it. But even so, the countries where the Evil God Temple appeared suffered heavy losses.

After all, as long as the Evil God Temple appeared, all the local creatures and land would be finished. Even if the problem was solved later, it would take a considerable amount of time to recover.

This would definitely affect the leveling of players and the development of guilds living there.

That's why Shi Feng was in such a hurry to come here.

Entering the Star-Moon Royal Palace was not an easy task, but meeting with Grand Duke Hartfield was much easier. He only needed to tell Grand Duke Hartfield about the matter, and let Grand Duke Hartfield go to the Royal Palace to inform the King.

With the strength of the Kingdom's Guard Army, it should be easy to wipe out those humanoid monsters with horns.

"Young adventurer, we meet again." Grand Duke Hartfield saw Shi Feng coming over, stroked his goatee, and said with a smile, "I've heard a lot about you from old Whiteman. I didn't expect you to be so young, but you've been able to help Lady Xia Lian with many things. If my two sons were as good as you, I could retire with peace of mind."

As Grand Duke Hartfield said this, the Guard Captain Ryan?Rette couldn't help but look at Shi Feng.

This made Shi Feng feel surprised.

He never thought that his reputation would reach the ears of NPCs, and they were still two big shots of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"Respected Lord Hartfield, I have an urgent matter to inform His Majesty the King, but I cannot enter the Royal Palace yet. I hope Lord Hartfield can convey it on my behalf," Shi Feng said respectfully.

"This is not a problem. As long as what you say is as important as you say, I will definitely convey it," Hartfield nodded, agreeing to Shi Feng's request very seriously.

"I discovered traces of the Evil God Temple in the Star Cluster Forest. The current Star Cluster Forest has become a forbidden zone for the living. If the Evil God Temple's actions are not stopped in time, the Evil God Temple may soon threaten the Royal Capital." Shi Feng organized his words and said slowly, "Lord Hartfield, you can send someone to investigate the Star Cluster Forest to find out."

The intelligence of high-level NPCs in God's Domain was very high. To report many things, they didn't necessarily need to have evidence in hand, they only needed to state the facts, and then the NPC would naturally send someone to investigate. If the investigation confirmed the facts, the player would be rewarded. Conversely, if nothing was found, the player would be punished.

However, there was a prerequisite, which was the NPC's level of trust in the player. If the level of trust was not high enough, even if the player stated the facts, the NPC would not investigate.

Shi Feng had gained a lot of favor with Hartfield before, enough to allow Hartfield to investigate whether what Shi Feng said was true. If it were any other NPC, they probably wouldn't even bother with it.

"Evil God Temple?"

"The Evil God Temple actually appeared near the Royal Capital?"

Grand Duke Hartfield's expression suddenly froze when he heard the name of the Evil God Temple, and the atmosphere in the entire space changed.

"Captain Ryan, as the information you obtained, it seems that those damned cultists are acting again." Grand Duke Hartfield's eyes flashed with angry fire, "They wanted to get their hands on that thing fifteen years ago, and now they are starting to act again. This time, I must make them disappear from the Star-Moon Kingdom completely!"

Just as Grand Duke Hartfield was speaking, a series of system prompts suddenly came from Shi Feng's ear, and even the Star-Moon Kingdom's system announcements followed, ringing several times in a row.
