Chapter 420: Big News (1/2)
After getting everything he needed, Theo picked up the bag that was almost bigger than his body. Ava was already sneaking inside his clothes to position herself.
”Let's go.” Theo smiled and opened the door as he started heading to Ark City.
The scenery soon changed to the dim lights of the busy Ark City.
With the goal in his mind, Theo finally stepped outside Ark City, heading straight to his destination.
Little did he know something big was going on near Sinx Forest. It was all over the news, but Theo had no connection to even see it.
The news was covered by one male and one female. The female wore a long yellow dress while carrying a small card in her hand. She sat on the couch while waving her blonde hair.
”Hello, Mr. Hendrick.” She smiled at the male, who happened to be a middle-aged man. He wore a white and black formal suit while looking at the camera with a smile. He greeted her back. ”Thank you for having me here, Annie.”
”Today, we are going to talk about the sudden rise of conflicts between monsters in Sinx Forest and Eion Plain.” She then raised her hand as a screen appeared, showing a video.
In the video, there was a giant spherical dome. The dome was black with some small holes that couldn't be crossed by humans. Still, the most shocking thing about this dome was its size.
With one mile as its radius, the dome looked majestic, especially with its fifty-foot-high.
”What we have here is an Ancient Structure that we call Coal Dome. There are a lot of monsters residing in this place… Mostly monsters with a fire affinity. What do you think about this structure, Mr. Hendrick?”
”Thank you, Annie.” He raised both hands and started explaining. ”Actually, this Coal Dome itself is a remnant of an ancient civilization in the past. The dome was found one hundred years ago after an earthquake struck the vicinity, which somehow sent the dome to the surface and not the other ground around it. Even the scientist couldn't explain this incident. After all, If a certain land went up, the entire area would also be affected.
”After a long investigation, we found that this dome has numerous monsters inside and has become an active dungeon for us to explore. The government also declared this place to be a public dungeon for others to use.
”There is a rumor that an ancient mummy is residing in this place, considering the place was filled with mummies the first time it appeared. Also, this place has become a bit more active as many hunters have been reporting an unusual movement from the mummies. And we believe the problem is…”
Before he continued, another screen appeared, showing a small plain in the middle of the forest. In that plain stood tall a small castle made of wood and rocks.
There was even a wall of the combination of the two, protecting several tall buildings in it.
”This is the problem, Wolf City, or that's what we call it. There is a very intelligent wolf leading many wolf species to gather in that area to build this kind of city. We have been investigating them for the past three years and have been making contact with them, trying to talk it out, but to no avail.
”I'm sure that many of you are aware of the fact that the monsters are mostly instinctual, but some of their leaders are intellectual. Hence, we assume that both the dome and this Wolf City have a General Class monster.
