CHAPTER 1007: CHAPTER 1009: REMNANTS OF THE FORMER DYNASTY

The next destination was quite far, so Sifumo did not intend to drive the bus directly there. Instead, he drove to a nearby airport.

Their next destination is the economic center of the Polar Bear District, a city nestled in gardens, the City of Thousand Spires Klim.

This city holds a special position in the Federation, as over two hundred years ago, a group of young people with lofty ambitions gathered here to make a vow to liberate the world from the hands of feudal empires.

They used the Polar Bear District as their center to spread their ideas around the world, thus triggering a revolution that changed the world.

Although this ideology ultimately flourished in the Capital District and truly achieved world unification, Klim in the Polar Bear District still holds a special significance in the Federation.

The city has excellent green spaces, with tall trees everywhere, forming a perfect harmony between humans and nature.

The place where Wen Wen and his group stayed was located at the District Ceremony Center in Klim, which was originally the power center of the Polar Bear Empire and now serves as the cultural center of the Polar Bear District.

Here are the best theater in the entire Polar Bear District, the largest library, the most beautiful parks, and the most historically distinctive museums...

What caught the attention of Wen Wen and his group was a magnificent palace that used to be the residence of the royal family of the Polar Bear Empire.

Only part of it is open to the outside world, while another part is the private residence of Emperor Weitu.

Although Emperor Weitu’s family no longer engages in the promising occupation of being emperor, they still hold their ancestral home firmly in their hands.

This city has a population of over ten million, making it the largest city in the Polar Bear District, with the strongest demon hunters but also the most ferocious monsters lurking in the shadows.

The last kind of emotion Wen Wen is looking for, represented by the Power of Sorrow monster, is hidden in this city.

Wen Wen doesn’t know much about this monster, as it seems to be tied to something secretive, so detailed information will only be revealed once Wen Wen arrives.

This monster’s abilities are troublesome, but it won’t harm human lives easily, coupled with other reasons, the superpower users of the Polar Bear District have only limited the monster’s area of activity rather than killing it.

As per the usual procedure, Wen Wen spent the first day touring several famous attractions with the group, such as the place where those pioneers made their declaration, the White Bear Grand Theater, and the largest entertainment venue in the entire Polar Bear District...

Ahem, you can strike out the last one. Wen Wen just went inside to take a look and didn’t do anything strange.

On the early morning of the second day, Wen Wen left the group and came to a park by himself, sitting on a bench under a tree, waiting for the appointed person to arrive.

This target’s ability is area-based, and there’s no need for Tao Qingqing as bait, so Wen Wen came alone.

Even though he knows the monster’s combat ability is weak, due to the lack of specific information about the monster, Wen Wen remains uncertain.

Because this monster’s ability involves manipulating a particular emotion in surrounding creatures.

Emotions don’t differentiate between superpower users and ordinary people; superpower users cry just as much during a heart-wrenching drama, and feel as much pain when they lose their wallet.

So Wen Wen really doesn’t know if there will be any strange accidents when he faces the monster.

...

Holding a newspaper, after waiting for fifteen or sixteen minutes, Wen Wen saw an old man with white hair, wearing a brown coat and bulging muscles, come over to sit beside the bench.

"Long time no see, this time I need your help to capture that monster."

Wen Wen, being unfamiliar with Klim, and with that monster seemingly having some ambiguous relationship with the higher-ups of the Polar Bear District, thought seeking help was the best choice.

This grey-haired old man is actually in his thirties. His appearance is not because he is mature beyond his years, but because he once had almost all his time stolen.

Before heading to Hunter Island, he was attacked by the Time Traveler Stein Markul and turned into his current state by the Tings Hound; he is Boyeve.

Back then, Boyeve was on his last legs, his life nearing its end, and no miracle medicine could save him fully, certainly not restoring his former strength.

Seeing Boyeve’s miserable condition, Wen Wen was filled with compassion and made him a Containment Officer.

The Sanctuary didn’t grant Boyeve life; it merely stimulated his potential, allowing him to break through his limits and become a True Order Level powerhouse.

The elevation in the realm restored his mobility, though still far from comparable to regular True Order individuals.

Wen Wen possesses an Upper Sequence realm and True Order strength.

While Boyeve, because his life was siphoned, has only a True Order realm, his actual combat strength is barely at the lowest of the Upper Sequence, and his lifespan is shorter than an ordinary person’s.

Boyeve is only thirty years old now, with maybe just ten years left to operate as a superpower user.

Despite this, Boyeve is extremely grateful to the Sanctuary. If not for the Sanctuary, he might still be bedridden, so when Wen Wen requested help, he agreed without hesitation.

"Mr. Wen, coming to me for this matter was the right choice. If you had messed around on your own, you wouldn’t have encountered that monster anytime soon."

Wen Wen curiously asked, "Why is that?"

He only knows the monster’s abilities and some attributes; he is completely in the dark about specific intelligence.

"Because the monster resides within the Polar Bear Forbidden Palace, and to act against it, all residents in the Forbidden Palace and nearby need to be evacuated first."

"Before you came, I spent a long time communicating with people from the Polar Bear Forbidden Palace to obtain the qualification to go inside and capture the monster."

Wen Wen was stunned and incredulously asked, "The Polar Bear Forbidden Palace, isn’t that where Emperor Weitu lives? Can he tolerate a monster in his residence?"

Boyeve shook his head, "The monster lives in an abandoned corner of the palace. Emperor Weitu feels his family has some connection with it, and under normal circumstances, the monster doesn’t bother anyone, so he hasn’t acted against it."

"And because its location is somewhat awkward, removing it requires evacuating the people in the palace, other strong individuals haven’t dealt with it either."

"However, since you need it, Emperor Weitu isn’t going to protect the monster on purpose. I’ve already communicated with the members of the Polar Bear Family, and we’ll have smooth access when we go inside, as long as we don’t destroy any buildings in the Forbidden Palace during the capture."

Wen Wen scratched his head and couldn’t help but ask, "You’ve said so much, but what exactly is the relationship between the monster and Emperor Weitu?"

Boyeve thought for a moment, then with an odd expression told Wen Wen, "The monster is related to the entire Polar Bear District; it’s a... remnant of the previous dynasty."
