Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs Novel - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Mike Revealed a Portion of His Strength!
Catherine felt the King’s Might and her face gradually turned pale.

She had witnessed the scene of Snow Leopard being hit, and she believed that her speed was not as great as Snow Leopard. She also believed that he could not block this move.

She struggled internally for a moment before hearing Sherlock say, “I lost.”

Sherlock stood in front of Mike and asked, “Senior Mike, if I’m not mistaken, this move of yours, you can control it to change directions, , right?”

Mike nodded.

Sherlock nodded and walked to Catherine’s side. He took her hand and bowed to Mike.

He said, “Senior Mike’s strength is extraordinary. I have benefited a lot from today’s battle, but I will not give up. Next time, I will defeat you alone.”

Mike returned the bow and said, “I am waiting for that day.”

The two slowly flew off and disappeared into the horizon.

Mike recalled the Black Dragon back into the summoning barrier and then landed on the ground.

He recalled the battle just now and had a lot of insights. He ignored the adoring gazes in the rooms and turned around to return to his own room.

The Dark High Priest looked at the two kneeling in front of him and said, “What have you two learned?”

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The Dark High Priest said, “Alright, Sherlock and Catherine have disobeyed an order. Now, they will be punished. The two of them will be sent to the church at the foot of the mountain to teach for a year. They will return to the mountain when the time is up.”

The two knelt on the ground and agreed in unison.

The Dark High Priest looked at the two and said, “The two of you… sigh, forget it. Let’s not talk about it. You can go.”

The two bowed heavily and left the Great Snow Mountain.

Sherlock and Catherine walked to the foot of the mountain and looked at the Great Snow Mountain longingly. When they turned back, they saw the remaining 98 members of the Church of Darkness’s vanguard standing in front of them. The high priest was with them.

When they saw the group of people, they bowed heavily once again.

Catherine’s cold face was filled with gratitude. She walked forward and said, “After I leave, please take care of teacher.”

The vanguard bowed.

Sherlock looked at the seniors and said, “See you all in a year.”

The seniors bowed to him one by one.

Akari walked forward and said,

“Don’t worry. We will take care of teacher. You can take care of yourself.”

Catherine walked forward and hugged Akari warmly.

Everyone walked forward and hugged each other.

On the Great Snow Mountain, the Dark High Priest stood at the peak. He looked at the students hugging each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Mike stood behind him and looked at this scene. His eyes were full of shock and envy.

The Dark High Priest looked at Mike and said, “Do you know what the strongest power of time is?”

Mike said respectfully, “I think you have already told me the answer.”

The Dark High Priest turned around and said, “Oh? Then tell me, what is it?”

“You probably want to say ‘unity’, right?”

Mike’s tone was filled with uncertainty.

The Dark High Priest threw his head back and laughed loudly. His laughter shook the snow on the roof until it fell.

The Dark High Priest said, “Kid, you’re really a ruthless person. I’ve asked countless people this question, but you’re the only one who can answer me like this. That’s right. I believe that the most powerful force in this world is unity. The power of one person is not enough to change anything, but the power of ten or a hundred people is enough to change the situation of the battle. The power of a thousand or ten thousand people is enough to topple a kingdom, and the power of a hundred thousand or a million people is enough to topple the world. When I was young, I traveled to the Upper Realm and saw a clan. For tens of millions of years, civil wars were incessant, and their compatriots fought against each other, causing the clan to turn from prosperity to a state of decline. However, the clan was once attacked by external enemies. The clan immediately stopped the civil war and united as one, fighting against external enemies. Although the external enemies were strong, they were still defeated by this indestructible unity.”

Mike stood quietly beside the Dark High Priest, deep in thought. The Dark High Priest’s words were worth thinking about, whether it was about the Upper Realm or about unity.

Mike thought to himself if the Dark Continent could be united like that, what was there to be afraid of a mere undead disaster?

The Dark High Priest pointed at the people below and said, “The best thing I’ve done in my life was not to become a Summoner of God, but to train such a group of students. In fact, I don’t think you know this, but their rankings are not based on their strength, it’s based on their age. They are ordinary people, and they may sometimes be very disappointing. Although there will be some small problems along the way, they have finally achieved unity.”

Mike said, “I’m actually very envious of them.”

The Dark High Priest smiled and said, “Then you can stay on the mountain for a few more days. Perhaps you can become one of them.”

Mike immediately became alert and asked, “What do you mean?”

The Dark High Priest waved his hand and said, “Don’t think too much. I have no intention of prying into the teacher’s affairs.”

The Dark High Priest looked at the vast white mountain in the distance, and he said, “I just have a feeling that there won’t be many peaceful days in the future.”

Mike was slightly shocked. He looked at the Dark High Priest and asked, “You’re referring to the Dark Magi.”

The Dark High Priest turned to look at Mike. “…You know quite a lot.”

The Dark High Priest pointed at the Vanguard below and said, “To be honest, in the Dark Continent, besides the 100 of them there, there are only three more other people that I trust.”

The Dark High Priest’s voice turned cold as he said, “Those three are Dong Qing, the girl Ji Yue, and my old friend, Gao Da. This huge Dark Continent has long been riddled with holes by the Dark Magi.”

Mike was shocked. He did not expect the Dark Continent’s situation to be so bad. Even a supreme existence like the Dark High Priest could not find people he could trust.

The Dark High Priest sneered and continued, “Don’t think that we’re the only ones like this. On the contrary, I think that the Dark Continent’s situation is quite good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t use the undead disaster to separate us from the other regions.”

Mike finally understood one thing. So that was the cause of the undead disaster. If it was really like what the Dark High Priest said, then what would the other three kingdoms look like?

Mike did not dare to think further.

The High Priest of Darkness said, “What I said to you today, you’d better keep it to yourself. Don’t tell others about it, or it will bring you a lot of trouble.”

Mike nodded and said, “I’ll remember it.”

The Dark High Priest nodded and turned into snowflakes, drifting in the sky. Mike could only hear a lingering echo.

“This mountaintop contains the Dao rhythm of the Dark Continent. You can come up whenever you are free. As for how much you can comprehend in the end is up to you..”
