A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 298 Aftermath: We must track down the Black King!

On the Sheqi Hachike's ocean-going freighter, Yabuki Sakura followed closely behind Genjiro to the captain's office, seemingly ready to help him at any moment.

Genji was exasperated: "Sakura, the medicine from the Old Church is very good. I have fully recovered. Instead of worrying about me, you should rest a little longer."

Sakura Yabuki coldly rejected the offer: "Master, I have fully recovered."

Seeing that the other person was following him closely, Genji sighed and brought up the old matter again as he walked towards his office: "Sakura, you don't have to force yourself to keep following me."

"Can you, like a crow or a yaksha, set aside some private time for yourself to relax or make some friends?"

Genji never forgot the words Sakura Yabuki said on Bello Island: "I have no friends."

"If all else fails, you can go with Erii and spend time with Nuwa and Bishop Aso."

That's right, Erii is not on this cargo ship now; she has already gone to Nuwa's side.

Previously, Genjiro would have been particularly worried and wouldn't have allowed it, but after being helped back to the ship by the Old Church and cured of his illness, Genjiro completely trusted the Old Church and felt at ease letting Erii go to the Old Church to play.

Sakura Yabuki sighed inwardly. What a blockhead! He was always by Genji's side, and she was happy to do so. "Master, I didn't force myself."

Yuan Zhisheng sighed inwardly. How could his most trusted female secretary be acting like a child?

While worrying about how to help Sakura Yabuki make friends, Genji walked to his office without realizing it. He sat down in his office chair, checked the time, confirmed it was time, and connected to the Secret Party's open video conference on his computer.

Sakura Yabuki sat quietly in the secretary's seat, listening intently, preparing to take notes.

This was the last remote meeting of all parties. There were three topics, the first and most important of which was how to fight against Nidhogg, the Black King, and face the inevitable doomsday.
Secondly, there was Odin, the Dragon King, who suddenly appeared on the island of Bello;

Finally, they tried to suppress public opinion. The ancient city and underground river created by the Black King had such a wide-ranging impact that countless people witnessed it by accident.

If this gets out of control, it will inevitably cause a lot of chaos.

As representatives from various factions connected one after another, Angers, as the host, forcibly suppressed his laughter, strained his eyebrows, and tried to appear extremely solemn: "Gentlemen."

"The sinking of Belllo Island does not mean that the Black King has been buried. It is more like a dragon returning to the sea and roaming freely."

"The ocean is so vast, with countless places we can't reach right now, providing hiding places for the Black King. It's becoming increasingly difficult for us to track the Black King Nidhogg's movements!"

"But we can't just give up like this."

"Therefore, I hereby request that you allow our ships to enter the waters where you are located and deploy the appropriate sonar detection instruments."

"Maybe we can catch Black King by the tail."

As everyone knows, tracking Black King's whereabouts is essential!
They both knew perfectly well that if they couldn't find the Black King, there would only be one outcome: death!
Don't even think about submitting to the Black King; you can survive by becoming his dog.

The ancient city and underground river that appeared last on Bello Island, with their destructive power that brought everything to a standstill, were beyond any room for negotiation.

The fact that the Black King fled instead of staying to fight them to the death only proves one thing: this supreme being is in extremely poor condition, so poor that he is unable to eliminate this group of usurpers.

If Black King had even the slightest bit of leeway to kill, he would never let them go.

If we don't want to die in the future, we must start now and do our best to track the Black King's movements. Ideally, we should find and kill him before he recovers to his full strength. Only in this way can we save the world and avoid the apocalypse.

All parties readily agreed to Angers' proposal. No one wanted to die, so naturally they were eager to find the Black King. There was nothing more to say about that. The key was the sonar.

If smaller factions can't handle it, then the Secret Service is welcome to come and set up the equipment.

The major powers, however, offered different opinions. For example, Nuwa suggested that the East and South Sea regions could set up their own sonar without the intervention of the Secret Party. Yuan Zhisheng actually shared the same idea, and seeing Nuwa take the lead, he followed suit, stating that the Snake-Headed Eight Families could also set up their own sonar.

He didn't want the secrets about God that the Snake Clan most wanted to hide to be exposed to the Kassel headquarters. How could he allow the Secret Party to set up sonar in his own underwater territory?

Angers and the Secret Party had no objections. At this time, what was needed most was unity, mobilizing all forces to find the Black King, rather than considering their own private interests.

After that, a bunch of smaller factions actively discussed with Angers arrangements for installing sonar.

After he finally finished speaking, many forces looked at Angers with eager eyes and raised various questions about alchemy, seemingly wanting to ask for the technology.

Ideally, it would be the alchemy of Chu Zihang, Fingel, and finally Lu Mingfei. With the Black King's resurgence, all forces are eager for power.

Angers managed to brush it off after a long time, and then quickly moved on to the second topic: Odin, the Dragon King.

When this was brought up, Pompeii acted as if nothing was wrong, looking around aimlessly. None of the various factions had any clues, and he knew nothing when asked.

Until today, they had no idea that a Dragon King had secretly been resurrected and had been active for a long time. At least those S-class Dead Servants would definitely need a long time to be created.

Therefore, all parties are very wary of Odin, but without any clues, where do they even begin to look?

The Black King is at least in the sea, and everyone knows that sonar has been deployed in various sea areas. But what about Odin? He comes and goes without a trace. In addition, he was killed instantly by Chu Zihang and 'Lu Mingfei' one after another. Therefore, the various forces are not so active in this matter.

After some discussion, no conclusion was reached. At most, they agreed that any faction that discovers Odin in the future should disclose the information and jointly attack him.

Finally, it comes down to how to suppress public opinion.

Actually, this thing is somewhat difficult to suppress, because the ancient city and underground river created by the Black King are too huge, hanging high in the sky.

Spreading from Bello Island in the Pacific Ocean, eastward to the Hawaiian Islands and westward to the Indian Ocean, countless people have witnessed this magical scene, and countless people have frantically taken photos and uploaded them.

What's even more amazing is that many people experienced abnormal emotions after seeing the ancient city and the underground river. Although they gradually returned to normal over time, the chaos that occurred during this period is enough to make more people remember this event.

Thirteen North American companies have numerous businesses in Hawaii: "The matter has caused a huge uproar. Hawaii has even become a holy place, with many believers flocking there, saying that the gods have bestowed miracles upon it. In particular, your old church is even going there to preach!"

Nuwa yawned, not even glancing at the thirteen families of North America: "That's a matter for the North American parish. If you have any problems, go find them, don't come to me."

Representatives from the Southeast Asian mixed-race community also complained: "Some residents think that aliens have come and are taking to the streets in groups to protest against us for hiding the truth."

The mixed-race people from Alaska laughed out loud: "You guys are really troublesome. My people are just asking when we can show this kind of virtual projection again."

Genjiro watched coldly, not caring about such things at all. Although Japan was also affected and many people saw the ancient city and the underground river, it didn't matter, as he had already negotiated with Bishop Aso in advance.

The pressure from public opinion can be borne by the former church in Tokyo.

Whether you call it a harbinger of the Black King's awakening or a miracle of the return of the past, Makoto Aso promised that as long as the mission was handed over to the Tokyo diocese and everyone prayed sincerely, the people's hearts would be quickly calmed and the public opinion problem regarding the ancient city's underground river would be quelled within a month at the latest.

Based on the previous assistance from the old church, Genji chose to trust Aso Makoto and entrust the matter to him.

With nothing to worry about, Genjiro stood on the dry bank, watching the various forces struggle in the water.

The result was similar to the previous issue: smaller factions couldn't handle it and sought help from Cassel Norma, but larger factions were unwilling to let Norma help and all said they would solve it themselves.

It is foreseeable that in the coming period, celebrities from various regions will all have incidents, and these incidents will definitely be very bizarre, otherwise how could the popularity of ancient cities and underground rivers be suppressed?
