Chapter 1216: Chapter 701: Speculation_2

This experience in the underground mine cave of Lonely Mountain City, although the result was not bad in the end, having driven away the Shadow King believers who were stirring trouble in secret, was somewhat anticlimactic for Lis.

In the recent battle, Lis didn’t receive any extra rewards, only obtaining a milestone called “Shadow Tide of Lonely Mountain City.”

Except for some Legend Level points, he received no other rewards.

However, Lis was somewhat intrigued by Kent Holden’s performance, the “Shadow Veil” just now.

Not long ago, Lis mastered a control ability exclusive to his Shadow Space through advancement in the Shadow Domain.

It was with this ability that Lis forcibly restrained Kelleb, without anyone else noticing.

This Shadow Space is most effective against those weaker than Lis, but Lis feels the potential of this Shadow Space is still great.

And after seeing Kent’s fusion with the Shadow Nest, Lis also had some thoughts about it.

Kent fused with the Shadow Nest and connected his life with the Shadow Plane.

Although it looked somewhat weak, in certain aspects it was rather powerful.

Whether it was from that nearly immortal Life Force or the ability to breed those endless Shadow Monsters, all were quite powerful abilities.

At least most of the Legends, even Demigod Strongmen, don’t have any way to deal with Kent.

Lis is also somewhat interested in Kent’s ability.

If his Shadow Space could have similar capabilities, it would be a considerable enhancement for Lis as well.

Of course, Lis wouldn’t want to fuse his body with the Shadow Space like Kent and lose his freedom.

But the ability to breed special beings from the Shadow Plane, to invoke the endless Shadow Power and immortality, is still quite nice.

It’s unfortunate that Kent fled so decisively at that time, not giving Lis enough time to study him thoroughly.

Who knows if there will be another opportunity to encounter Kent in the future.

I remember… according to the original storyline, Kent should be…

At this moment, Lis suddenly stopped walking.

He suddenly thought of a question.

In the previous life, when the “Shadow Veil” Kent Holden appeared, he wasn’t in the state of the Shadow Nest.

But Kent showed capabilities equivalent to a normal Legendary Strongman, mainly as a Shadow Mage.

But if Kent has already fused with the Shadow Nest now, then who is the Kent fighting with other Legends in the future?

Could it be that, at some point in the future, Kent detached from that special fusion state?

That should be impossible.

Lis shook his head, thinking.

Although he doesn’t know how Kent did it, he must have paid a great price for fusing with the Shadow Nest.

Lis had never heard of such a thing happening before.

If it wasn’t for the special state from Kate, he wouldn’t have guessed Kent’s true status.

Undoubtedly, Kent should be one of the pivotal schemes of the Shadow King Church.

Even if he wanted to, the Shadow King Church wouldn’t allow him to leave the fusion state.

So, is there something wrong with the Kent that appeared in the previous life?

Lis’s mind raced, quickly sorting out his thoughts.

Was the Kent that appeared in the previous life his avatar?

But simply because of the disguise effects of Shadow Power, no one detected it?

If that’s the case, it makes sense.

No wonder Kent from the previous life seemed to be killed a few times but appeared completely unaffected.

If this is also a new ability Kent obtained from the Shadow Nest, it might explain Kent’s somewhat bizarre behavior in the previous life.

So, is the ability of the Shadow Nest seemingly continuously strengthening?

At least in the contacts just now, Kent showed no capability of fighting personally.

The avatar that appeared had no power either.

Thinking of this, Lis had some guesses.

If his avatar was birthed by the Shadow Nest, does it mean the Shadow Nest also has other capabilities to birth monsters?

Could the Shadow King’s church plan be that Kent is a special existence bred by the Shadow Nest?

If that’s the case, then aside from a massive amount of Shadow Monsters, the Shadow Nest has more important roles.

Thinking of this, Lis became more intrigued by Kent’s Shadow Nest.

It’s just that after this incident, Kent certainly won’t voluntarily appear before Lis without being persuaded.

But if Lis’s guess just now was correct, then aside from the recent Shadow Tide attacking Lonely Mountain City, the Shadow King’s Church should have other backup plans in Lonely Mountain City.

This attack is very likely intended to hide other plans of theirs.

Really somewhat bothersome…

Lis rubbed his forehead.

No matter which Evil God Church they worship, in this special time of the Gaia World, they’re surely unsettled, wanting to stir things up.

For the True God Church, this is the most troublesome issue.

If they fail to anticipate the Evil God believers’ conspiracies, even if they manage to stop them in time afterward, it might still cause considerable destruction.

Ah, let’s leave it to fate!

If this were at Danerluo Port, Lis would definitely want to find all those Evil God believers from the Shadow King’s Church.

But this is Lonely Mountain City, part of the Dwarf Kingdom’s Royal Capital.

Dealing with the Evil God believers should definitely be left to those Dwarves.

Address the issues when encountered; Lis wouldn’t spend excessively just to find those Evil God believers.

While Lis was contemplating, he unknowingly found himself back at the entrance of the Iron Hammer Workshop.

Seeing Lis return, Nidir rushed out from the door with a delighted face, shaking Lis’s hand vigorously.

“Lis, you’re back?”

“Where did you go earlier, why did you suddenly disappear?”

Nidir said continuously, seeming to be quite startled.

“Thankfully, Preston’s Majesty was here, otherwise I wonder how we would have handled this attack.”

“Those damned believers of the Evil God, how dare they do such things in Lonely Mountain City?”

Upon seeing Lis, Nidir finally set aside his worries.

“Earlier we suddenly separated, so I found a safe place and returned after the incident ended.”

Lis glanced at Nidir and said.

Previously, after seeing Kelleb, he left an avatar to accompany Nidir to the Fiery Fire Festival, while he went to find Kelleb.

Likely upon entering the Shadow Nest, due to the shift to another space, the link was severed, hence the avatar accompanying Nidir disappeared.

After all, that avatar had no real power to sustain itself alone.

Just then, Tomun stepped out leisurely from Iron Hammer Workshop.

“Little Nidir, I’ve told you not to worry; someone as smart as Little Lis surely wouldn’t be in trouble.”

After speaking, Tomun advised Lis:

“In the future, when encountering such dangerous situations, return to the workshop sooner for safety.”

“After this incident, fewer believers of the Evil God should dare challenge the Royal Court’s authority again in Lonely Mountain City.”

“Honestly, are you lecturing me?”

Upon hearing Tomun’s words, Nidir said somewhat displeased:

“Clearly, when Lis hadn’t returned yet, you were quite anxious too.”

“Even sent out the workshop guards to search.”

“Sigh, that’s different!”

Tomun’s face showed some embarrassment.

Upon hearing Nidir mentioning Lis suddenly missing, he indeed was startled greatly.

This is his disciple, after all, he surely shouldn’t face trouble.

“By the way, Little Lis.”

Fearing Nidir continuing on might damage his pride further, Tomun quickly shifted the topic:

“Earlier, Lord Patterson specifically came to inform me of something that should be quite an exceptional opportunity for you.”

“What exactly, if you don’t mind me asking?”

Lis asked curiously.

Shouldn’t this be the busiest time for those Dwarf Legends?

Why would “Hundred Forged Hand” suddenly think of the Iron Hammer Workshop and him?

“Due to this attack, the temple brought out our race’s Half-God Artifact and rising star.”
