Chapter 210: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 13

The last place that Wesley took them was a building that seems to be the headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom in the Slumbering Forest.

In front of them was a very tall building with almost a hundred floors.

Honestly, from the first moment they entered this city, this building had already caught everyone's attention as it was the tallest around. Even taller than the chimneys surrounding it.

As they got inside the building, they were instantly greeted by a sight that was different from the scenario going on outside.

There was absolute order and a sense of harmony between everyone.

Moreover, it wasn't crowded. There is more than enough space for people to move around without hitting another person.

They walked through the hallway and were introduced by Wesley to the function of the rooms they passed by.

Going from one floor to the other, they were shown that not a single space in the entire building was lacking purpose.

In the end, their opinion about the inside of the building was that it is the only place where they can find the simplest form of human decency, which is a basic trait that exists almost everywhere aside from this place.

Regardless of the interesting things inside, the building was still not spared from the onslaught of black fog being released from the chimneys around them, which ultimately ruined its view from the penthouse.

"How is it compared to the Wing Boots Auction House?" Wesley can't help comparing.

"It can use some improvements," Jericho turns to look at Wesley before adding inwardly. "On every aspect of your human being,"

Inside his mind right now, Jericho couldn't be any more sarcastic and scornful with Wesley. This person might be smart, but he lacks common sense in his brain. Not only that, he is excessively vain. If Wesley is in his right mind, he would definitely not compare the situation of the Assembly of Freedom and what it could bring to 'The Bridge' to practically everything. Because regardless of which aspect it is, they couldn't be compared to anything.

They are the worst!

"Anyways," Wesley walks to the sofa and sat comfortably. "How was the tour?"

"It enlightened me a lot," Jericho sat on the opposite sofa. That's right, it enlightened him that he made the best choice for his Herald Guild.

Kayn and the others quickly positioned themselves behind Jericho. They might have remained silent all this time, but all of them have the same opinion as Jericho.

These people are crazy!

"I am glad to hear that," Wesley smiled in triumph for his actions which lead to such an outcome. "Since we are on the topic of the tour, why don't you tell me now what you could possibly give to the Assembly of Freedom to become our supposed friend,"

"Well,"

Jericho entertained Wesley with what Kayn and the others were led to believe is called bullshit.

The great chairman of the Wing Boots Auction House who is also the guild leader of the Herald Guild went on with his nonsense talk until afternoon, which is when Wesley finally became satisfied with what he heard.

"Let me guide you back to the Daze Village," Wesley stood up from his seat.

"Alright," Jericho couldn't help feeling glad inwardly that everything is finally done.

Using the same motor wagon, they traveled from the headquarters to the entrance of the city.

Once again, they had to deal with the chaos and madness everywhere.

Never mind Wesley being one of the higher-ups and possessing a special position in the Assembly of Freedom, a considerable amount of people would still dare to offend him along the way.

In the end, Wesley had to add more people to the total number of people he killed today before they reached their destination.

Everyone disembarked from the motor wagon and went on foot as they continued their path to reach the Daze Village.

This time, their journey was smooth, peaceful, and unhindered.

They reached the entrance of the Daze Village very quickly as Wesley then bid farewell to everyone to return to their city.

Ten minutes or so after Wesley left, Kayn finally asked the question that came up on everyone's mind the moment they saw the city.

"How on Earth did we not notice such a huge city close to the Daze Village?" Kayn looks at everyone.

"I don't know," Gilbert was also clueless.

"Almost every informant we asked gave us only their bases around the Daze Village," Jude expresses.

"This only means one thing," Jericho suddenly realized. "No one other than the members of the Assembly of Freedom was able to get out alive once they see their city,"

"I guess you're right," Kayn was still feeling slightly doubtful about it.

The loud noises around the city should be loud enough for everyone in the Daze Village to hear. Not to mention, they must have made even louder noises during their construction.

"Wait,"

Now that he thinks about it…

Kayn suddenly realized something as he looked behind him.

No sound.

No smoke.

No anything.

"This is very strange," Kayn was suspicious of something. "Say, why don't we try to sneak outside the city and try to find out the reason why?"

"Wait," Jude suddenly felt something. "Another key is nearby,"

"Another key?" Kayn instinctively looks in the direction of the city.

Without any hesitation, he started running in the direction of the city.

Everyone also followed after Kayn as something came up in everyone's head after hearing Jude's words.

Because of their speed, they quickly reached the plains.

However, to their shock, the huge city that once stood tall in front of them not so long ago was already gone.

What replaced it now was the seemingly endless greenery of the Slumber's Gateway.

Although there were traces of the city being there not so long ago though as they've noticed dozens of patches of destroyed and charred land, clearly from burning something in those structures with chimneys on top.

"The key is gone," Jude realized after losing the feeling of the third key.

"It isn't that no one noticed the city. In the first place, the city wasn't even constructed here," Kayn doesn't want to believe it, but it is the only possibility they have to explain the reason for the sudden disappearance of the city. "The city can move,"
