The Dark King - Chapter 239

Chapter 239

The buzz of knives and forks touched the plate stopped the moment girl spoke out . The eyes of all the members were focused on Dudian as they waited for his reply . The words said by the girl had been in their hearts for a long time . Even the quality of dishes had gone down so the dissatisfaction in their hearts had gone up during this time .

"Nonsense!" Old Fulin's face sank .

The girl knew that she had don the wrong thing by talking out as her grandfather got so angry . She bit her lips and bowed her head .

Jake who was sitting next to Dudian talked out . : "Father the child is young and not sensible so don't be offended by her words . Mr Dean please take her words lightly . We will be waiting for you body to recover as long as it would take . "

Dudian didn't replied but smiled in response .

There was a trace of disappointment and anger in Jake's eyes as he saw the indifferent reaction of Dudian . He looked at the angry face of his father and turned to look at Sander who was sitting calmly . Eventually he held back the impulse to ask for anything else .

After the dinner Dudian as usual went back to his room and locked the door .

A few more days passed by .

On this day Dudian had breakfast in his room and afterwards found Old Fulin . : "I'll be late today . Maybe I won't be on time for dinner . "

Old Fulin looked at him and sighed . : "The members of my family are getting unsensible these days . Don't listen to them at all . We have to nurse you back to top condition before going out of the giant wall . "

Dudian smiled . : "I'll recover soon . " He got up and took out the jacket from the chair . He bid farewell to Old Fulin and walked down along the wooden stairs to the hall . Hugh and several other members of young generation were chatting in the hall . The young girl from few days ago was also in that group .

"Hello . " Dudian casually greeted them as they were on his route .

The others looked at him but didn't reply . Only Hugh squeezed out a smile and looked at Dudian . : "Hey Mr Dean . Are you going out?"

Dudian nodded . : "I have to make a trip to 'Temple of elements'"

"Temple of Elements?" All of them were surprised the moment they heard the name of the organisation . Their eyes lit up . Hugh came forward and asked . : "Mr Dean are you going to join Temple of Elements?"

Dudian smiled . : "I'm going for a tea but I'll see what happens there . "

One of the other youth said . : "I you can join and make friend then you could get some good objects from them . Afterwards we wouldn't be worried about the future of the new world consortium . "

One of the girls was surprised as she uttered in exclaim . : "I don't have to worry about the new skirt . "

The previous girl dissatisfied with the Dudian also had a happy face . She looked at Dudian and tried to encourage him .

Dudian bid farewell to these few people and got out of the castle . He sat on the carriage and ordered the coachman to take him to 'Temple of Elements . '

The structure of 'Temple of Elements' was totally different to magistrate, Holy Church, or consortia . They had no divisions or headquarters . All the architects were gathered in one place . They would communicate with each other on weakdays to try to inspire each other . It could be desribed as the holy land of learning and studying . Many alchemists and potion masters longed for a peaceful and stable learning environment such as that .

The Temple was located on the northern part of the commercial district close to the direction of the inner wall of the giant wall . The Temple was located on 'Church Mountain' (tl notes: de ga shan - it doesn't refer to building(church) but to the idea [Catholic Church e . g the body that controls the system ] ) . According to the people the word Church meant holy in the old era .

Church Mountain was very tall . It's foothills were surrounded by several small towns . All of the towns were under the protection of Holy Church . There were dozens of Knights of Light patrolling the area . Everyone was the believer of God of light as their robes and clothing were typical of members of Holy Church .

Dudian sat in the carriage for five hours . Finally they came to the front of Church Mountain . They passed by the hillside to go to the first town on their way . There were eight Knights of Light wearing bright silver helmets stationed at the entrance of the town . There were solemn expressing on their face as they coldly looked at Dudian .

"Stop . " One of the knights stopped Dudian . : "Please show your proof of identity . "

Dudian took out the invitation letter . : "I will be joining the Temple today . I came over to report . "

The young knight picked the letter and checked the badge above the envelope . He recognized it and nodded . : "Go . "

Dudian took back the envelope and continued to mountain road . Every 100 meters he met a team of patroling kngihts . He submitted the invitation letter to confirm his identity for three times . It was a prrof of the level and strictness of defense of the area . Even a fly couldn't flew in, let alone enemies . Moreover if the Holy Church was so focused on protecting this area then it meant that there were quite a few important figures within the Temple . Even if senior hunters came over to attack the Temple it would be hard for them to reach the castle .

After all, there was only one Temple of Elements . It was an important tribute that showed the power of Holy Church . If they faced losses then it would be a very heavy hit to Holy Church .

After a moment Dudian came to the top of the Church Mountain . He saw a majestic castle standing at the peak made out of white granite .

"Stop! Who are you?" The guard standing in front of the gates of the castle shouted as he saw Dudian approaching .

Dudian didn't reply with words but instead gave the envelope directly .

Guard took the letter and confirmed that it was the real thing . He gave back the letter . : "Please wait, I will help you to inform . " He made a gesture to the another guard and turned into the castle . After 10 minutes he came back while a middle-aged man followed after him . It was Kerry .

"Mr . Dean?" Kerry identified Dudian at sight . There was a little surprise on his face . : "You have finally came over! Please come in . "

Dudian said . : "I was delayed because of business . I hope it won't have any effect on the invitation . "

"There won't be . " Kerry enthusiastically replied . : "The doors of the Temple are forever open for so young and promising architects . Although you have just came over but your name is already spread in your 'Temple of elements' . Your improved looms didn't only changed the efficiency of the textile machines but opened up a new era . Many masters have been inspired by your work and had great harvest . "

Dudian knew that true meaning behind the improvement of the loom was not improve its efficency but to let people understand the concept of mechanical energy .
