Chapter 1099: Chapter 776: Arrival of the Observers

After a few months.

The Night Watchers once again initiated a grand movement.

The entire group began to operate swiftly.

The reason for so much activity is that the core part of the North City, which they had been constructing, has been completed.

The so-called core part naturally refers to the most eye-catching "Torch" at its center.

What is this thing primarily used for?

Within the higher ranks of the Night Watchers, it goes without saying.

This will become the most astonishing and enviable feature in all of the Night Watchers’ blessing rituals.

Kana floated in the sky above the city, observing the spectacle.

Bobo and other important members of the Night Watchers arrived in this city a few days ago as they needed to prepare extensively before the Stone of Creation could be used.

At this moment, they weren’t the only ones busy.

All the Night Watchers were engaged in their tasks.

A large number of Night Watchers arrived in the city, participating in its construction in the process.

Aside from the central core area.

Various supporting facilities around the city were also mostly completed, with many already put into use.

Some peculiarly dressed Night Watchers also appeared here.

Their attire is somewhat similar to that of the Black and White Dragon, and they represent the Night Watchers’ new division.

Or rather, new department.

"Soul Guides"

Judging by the name, one can infer their purpose; these specially selected Night Watchers will utilize the power from the Black and White Dragon, to guide the souls of the Night Watchers, care for and sew their corpses, supporting their resurrection.

They will be the main administrative department of the North City and are the focus of this ceremony.

...

The alchemical train "Black Tower" smoothly speeds along the shining tracks surrounding the Tower of Trial, emitting a deep, rhythmic sound of gears and steam hissing.

The carriage is spacious and bright, inlaid with soft light crystals, isolating the eternal dimness outside.

However, the diversity of passengers within the carriage far exceeds that of the creation itself.

As they come from nearly every corner of the world.

All invited by the Night Watchers for this occasion.

Preparations began almost half a year ago, with invitations being sent worldwide.

Back then, over half a year ago, the number of invites sent by the Night Watchers wasn’t so many, yet they caused a world-shocking event.

The unending allotment of slots.

The autonomy of blessings.

Now, Adventurers’ House is blooming everywhere, and some foresighted people seem to notice some unspeakable issues.

Of course, the majority of nobles haven’t realized it.

As such things never happened before, they couldn’t foresee something that never occurred.

Those who discovered it naturally chose to remain silent.

In the past, they may have just offended the Night Watchers.

Now, it’s blasphemous.

Through the large, reinforced crystal windows, the scenery outside swiftly passed by the East District.

There lies the Night Watchers’ "East City."

Some of the nobles present were here to observe the ceremony in the past.

And now, within less than a year, this city has been fully established, just appearing slightly sparse, lacking full vibrancy.

In the distance, one can even see a multitude of city wall fortifications.

The military power of this city seems to be stronger than other regional cities.

This sight drew a low exclamation from passengers from "South City"—that renowned prosperous metropolis recognized as the world’s center—especially from a few extravagantly dressed human nobles.

Because their intelligence was somewhat outdated.

They couldn’t comprehend how the Night Watchers managed to construct a city so swiftly.

"By the gods," said a Count with a neatly groomed mustache and a chest full of medals, wiping non-existent sweat with a handkerchief, "Is this... is this the Night Watchers’ Eastern Territory? It’s like a gigantic factory! No beauty to speak of, only cold utilitarianism. The fountain gardens and vitreous corridors of South City are the true reflections of civilization!"

After all, the Adventurers’ House is more homely and straightforward in style, albeit somewhat rugged and direct.

You can’t expect these fools to understand these styles.

Opposite him sat a dignified, aloof Elf Prince, wearing a robe seemingly woven of moonlight and vines—the representative of the self-proclaimed world overlord, the Radiant Elf—Oriane Morningstar.

He merely raised his eyelids slightly, glancing outside the window with the corners of his mouth barely lifting in subtle disdain: "Utilitarian? In the glow of the Elves, human ’utilitarianism’ is but a sandcastle.

"The Night Watchers... are merely nouveau riche who have just risen. To convene such a grand ceremony? Let’s hope what they present is worthy of our long journey... time."

His voice was like a stream hitting a stone, melodious but with an icy distance. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The rise of the Night Watchers, but in a mere decade or so.

For the long-lived Elves, it’s almost like the blink of an eye, and for those noble Elves residing in the Elven capital.

External information holds no significance.

Or rather, they need not mind.

Because often, by the time they next appear on another continent, a century has passed, and events have completely changed their face.

Even if he knew the power of the Night Watchers.

His habitual arrogance was difficult to alter in his words.

"Hey! Elf Monsieur, you can’t speak like that!" a boisterous voice interjected.

The speaker was a robust, heavy-furred Minotaur Warrior with enormous curving horns, wearing a badge symbolizing alliance with the Night Watchers on his muscular chest.
