Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 864 - 865: Shocking News

While feeling puzzled, Kain also noticed an extraordinary point.

That is, the majestic ancient building standing in the center of the deserted island? How did it disappear?!

Such a large palace, how could it just vanish?! Where did it go?

Regarding this, Kain was completely baffled.

But now, he had no time to think about these questions. Whether it was why the other party looked so similar to the empress of the Church Nation, or where that building had gone to?

Facing the black-haired girl’s inquiry, Kain had to do his utmost to show his value.

Otherwise, who knows if he would be thrown back into that deadly abyss in the next second.

In order to survive, after enduring the pain and sitting up from the ground, Kain tremblingly looked at the black-haired girl:

"So, what do you want to ask about?"

"Emm, it’s actually very simple. I just want to ask about some things that have happened recently on the Ancita continent."

"Things that have happened?"

Hearing this, Kain slightly frowned:

"Recent events?"

"Uh, that doesn’t seem quite right either."

Yumo put her index finger to her lips, showing a very cute thinking expression.

After a brief deep thinking, Yumo snapped her fingers with a smile:

"To be precise, what I want to know is everything important that has happened on the continent from the time after the Anvika Holy War... until now."

"The Holy War? That was in the year? Things from six years ago until now?"

"Yes."

Yumo calmly nodded:

"For some reason, I’m not very clear about what has happened in the past few years. So, I hope Mr. Adventurer can answer me well, please?"

The black-haired girl smiled charmingly and looked at Kain with sincere pleading eyes.

Faced with the request of such a stunning beauty, how could Kain bear to refuse.

Besides, if he refused, the star-eyed girl behind the black-haired girl, with "displeasure" written all over her face, would definitely not let him off easily.

After taking a deep breath, Kain slowly told Yumo about the major events that had happened on the Ancita continent in recent years.

"These six years? How should I put it? After Anvika was razed to the ground due to the Church’s experiments, the situation on the continent has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. First, regarding Asumos Church..."

Undoubtedly, in order to satisfy Yumo, Kain unreservedly told Yumo everything he knew. Whether it was the changes in the forces on the Ancita continent, the movements of the Abyssal Demons, the conflicts between the major races, or the contradictions and intertwined relationships between the top powerhouses...

As long as Kain knew and thought it would affect the situation on the continent, he would inform Yumo. He also fully disclosed the major historical events that had occurred from six years ago until now.

Since Kain himself was very interested in the actual politics of the continent, his introduction also carried a bit of his own analysis, which made Yumo quite engrossed.

As Kain’s words entered her ears, Yumo’s expressions changed vividly.

One moment she was worried, the next moment excited, then relieved, and then furious. Her stunning face was like a flipping book, with an extraordinary speed of changing expressions.

On the other hand, compared to Yumo’s enthusiasm, Yue appeared bored throughout.

She herself knew almost nothing about the situation on the continent, so naturally she couldn’t understand the events described by Kain. With no one to whip, she could only pace back and forth behind Yumo with nothing to do.

And after nearly two hours had passed, Kain finally finished informing Yumo of all the major events that had happened on the Ancita continent in recent years.

Afterwards, this adventurer captain sat upright on the ground, uneasily glancing at Yumo with the corner of his eye, waiting for her verdict.

At the same time, Kain began to pray frantically in his heart, praying that his previous narration would satisfy this unknown black-haired girl, in order to obtain a way to live.

And this time, Kain seemed to finally have a moment of luck.

After listening to the narration, a relieved smile gradually appeared on the black-haired girl’s stunning face.

It was a warm and gentle smile that came from the bottom of her heart, like the spring sun, warming people’s hearts. With just one glance, Kain felt like he was bathed in the spring breeze, and his tense heart gradually relaxed.

"Oh ho~"

Yumo put her hands behind her back and gazed into the distance with a meaningful look.

"It seems that the children are doing quite well overall. Well, six years of harmony like this, with almost no major wars~, is really rare."

From Kain’s mouth, Yumo learned that although the power structure of the Ancita continent had undergone earth-shaking changes after the Anvika Holy War, it was overall in a state of peace that was rare in a hundred years. The major empires coexisted harmoniously, the Abyssal Demons were curled up in the Winter Forest without any movement, and at most there were only some trivial small conflicts between the different races.

Originally, Yumo was worried that during the six years she had accidentally fallen asleep, her not-so-well-behaved children would turn the whole world upside down and cause living beings to suffer. It seemed that the facts proved that she was worrying too much.

Her children seemed to have truly learned their lesson and become smarter. They didn’t act recklessly anymore, but maintained the continent in the most suitable stable state.

"And they didn’t conflict with the Church or Mengxi... Not bad, not bad."

Yumo pressed her chest and sighed with relief.

"However, the Church? It has now become the Church Nation? The four major empires have become three major empires? The two towers have merged? The Night Wish City responsible for managing the Winter Forest?... Emmm, well, there have indeed been quite a lot of changes over the years."

"Yes, the changes are indeed huge."

Kain, who was beside her, couldn’t help but agree after hearing Yumo’s self-muttering.

"The pattern that the continent had maintained for a hundred years has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few short years. It’s really like a dream."

"Yeah."

Yumo nodded without objection.

"Then recently, have there been any other relatively important matters? The things you mentioned before were all events from the year 3029. Are there any events that happened this year?"

"This year? Recently?"

Hearing this, Kain raised his hand to his chin and fell into a brief contemplation. Then, this captain shook his head helplessly.

"This year, it seems that there haven’t been any major events on the continent? Everything has been quite calm and peaceful."

"Is that so? Alright then."

"Huh? No, wait!"

As if remembering something, Kain’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

"What is it?"

Yumo asked in confusion.

"Not only towards the Black Rose family and the Abyssal Demons, you also seem to care a lot about the former Wind City? You just asked quite a few questions about Wind City."

"Yes, what about it?"

"Wind City, which is now the Night Wish City, does have a big piece of news this year. I heard about it before at the adventurers’ western headquarters."

"Oh?"

As soon as she heard that it was related to Wind City, a glint flashed in Yumo’s eyes. After all, that was her youngest daughter’s hometown and the human city that was initially included under the protection of the Abyssal Demons.

Therefore, the black-haired girl asked with great interest:

"What’s the big news about Wind City?"

"I heard that this year, the Marqui’s granddaughter seems to be coming of age."

"Coming of age? Emm, it seems about right."

"Then, on her birthday, The Marquis plans to hold an engagement banquet for his granddaughter and has invited quite a few famous figures from the continent."

"A banquet? What’s so special about that? Holding a birthday banquet for a birthday isn’t really big news, right? This isn’t... Huh?!! Wait a minute?"

As she spoke, Yumo’s brows instantly furrowed.

Carefully recalling Kain’s words just now, Yumo suddenly noticed something amiss, and her entire face visibly darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next instant, before Kain could react, Yumo, escorted by a crimson light, directly appeared in front of Kain with a flash step and grabbed his collar, fiercely pulling him up from the ground!

"You, you... you just said?! An engagement banquet?!! That child is holding an engagement banquet?!! WTF!!! Engagement with WHO?!!!"

Kain: "Huh??!!"
