Chapter 373: Chapter 368: The Moving Cloud Island Chapter 373: Chapter 368: The Moving Cloud Island “Have all the foreign tribes been dealt with?” In a lavishly scaled floating ship dock in the royal palace, equipped with advanced magic technology, the former King Belradin, who had abdicated and relinquished all his duties, looked towards Muria standing beside him and asked casually.

“Yes, they’ve been handled.” Muria was about to explain his “friendly” negotiation process, but to his surprise, the king who had worked for a lifetime extended his hand to block Muria’s face, “I don’t want to hear it, now these are no longer my concerns. I only want to spend the rest of my life with my daughter.”

“Don’t you really want to know?” Muria looked at the floating ship fleet, which was already staffed with guards, servants, chefs, and others. His expression was somewhat subtle. This wasn’t a fleet that could be prepared in a day or two. He guessed that the king must have started preparations on the day he appeared, ready to set off as soon as the power handoff was completed.

“I don’t want to know, I don’t have many days left, why should I concern myself?” Belradin turned around and boarded the luxurious floating ship behind him. He walked a few steps, then turned back to gaze at Muria, speaking dismissively, “With ten ancient dragons supporting you, what loss can you suffer?”

“…” Muria was speechless for a moment, watching the gradually glowing array patterns on the floating ship before him, listening to the faint hum of the magic array starting up.

While Belradin was still talking to Muria before boarding the ship, in the royal palace, within a tower, the unique spirit light of the teleportation array shimmered. Then, a knight riding a white-bellied blue-feathered bird flew out, and after that, he looked tiredly at the soldiers guarding the tower.

“Where is His Majesty? I have important military news to report.”

“Follow me.” The guarding soldier looked at the dust-covered Blue Hawk Knight, especially the insignia on his breastplate, his face turned serious. After speaking a few words to the Cloud Giant standing next to the tower, he immediately led the knight towards the council hall of the royal palace.

Before long, the soldier brought the knight who was astonished at the sight of many Cloud Giants to Muria: “Duke Mureya, this is a scout knight from the Isman Fortress, he has important military news to report to you.”

“I want to see King Belradin, not some duke.”

“What’s the matter? Soldier,” Standing on the floating ship that had started to slowly move away from the dock, leaning on the ship’s rail with both hands, Belradin who seemed like a middle-aged rich merchant, asked with a smile.

“If you have military news to report, look for the ruling Duke in front of you, I’ve already abdicated.”

“How can this be?” Hearing the news, the scout knight’s face froze, he was somewhat stunned, and his face showed an expression of disbelief. It was obvious that Belradin’s prestige in the army was still good, and this knight’s news was a little behind.

“You didn’t know?” Muria looked at the knight, whose face revealed fear, panic and other complex emotions, and who still looked extremely tired. He was somewhat surprised, “The ceremony for my taking over the rule of the Lockman Kingdom was held today. It was broadcasted to the whole country through magical images, even if you are in an army fortress you should be able to see it. Didn’t you see it?”

“I just returned from a sea reconnaissance mission. After discovering the anomaly, I immediately reported to the general, and then the general felt that it was a major issue, so he teleported me to the royal palace to report to the King.”

“…” Muria pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and felt inexplicably a bit vexed. Of the four directions of the Lockman Kingdom, only the Western Seas hadn’t had any problems, but now it seemed that the only stable direction also had issues.

“Report to the ruling Duke!” Belradin, leaning on the ship’s rail, pointed to Muria with a cheerful wave of his hand, then turned and walked into the cabin. He was pretty sure there were problems with the Western Seas by now, but he didn’t want to know what they were specifically.

What’s the point in an almost dying man being so concerned? Just hand everything over to the Golden Dragon Archduke, with ten ancient dragons sitting in the country, what could go wrong?

“Speak up, what’s going on with the sea?” Muria rubbed his aching forehead with irritation. He had already sensed that this subcontinent was different from what he had experienced before, and seemed to have entered a very special time period.

Geniuses abound, disasters are rampant! He hadn’t forgotten, Belradin’s son was literally crushed to death by a demon hand that suddenly appeared from a space rift.

And the Dwarf Kingdom’s most significant source of ore, likewise, has a space rift to the Abyss. He hasn’t been on this subcontinent for long, and he already knows about two rifts.

This is quite exaggerated, but Muria didn’t believe that there were only these two, which just happened to be known to him. There must be more.

But the problem was, Elasia wasn’t some run-down little world, but the highest level of the Material World. How could there be frequent spatial rifts to the Abyss? It was irrational.

“A large cloud island is drifting over the sea towards the Kingdom.” In understanding that the person he swore loyalty to had changed, the somewhat bewildered knight replied in a daze.

“Cloud Island?” Muria’s frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed. He had initially thought it was the sea tribes of the western territory causing trouble, but the surprise turned out to be from the sky. However, since it is a cloud island, there shouldn’t be much danger.

A Cloud Island, also known as a floating island, is an island suspended in the sky, accompanied by clouds, formed due to world rules. They all vary in size, not much different from the sea islands in the vast ocean.

The creatures living on the Cloud Island are usually very tranquil and lack aggression, such as the Cloud Giants, Storm Giants, etc., they belong to the “If you don’t mess with them, they won’t bother you” type.

However, Cloud Islands are usually stationary and rarely drift around. But looking at the report from the knight in front of him, the Cloud Islands drifting towards the Lockman Kingdom were not one or two, but many, and they were all large in size.

“Can you explain in detail what happened?” Muria’s face looked somewhat immature, but his dazzling gold eyes exerted a strong pressure on people. It allowed one to overlook his human appearance.

“Archduke, please see, this is the scene I recorded with the Reflection Crystal.” Hearing Muria’s question, the knight, who had just recovered from the shock of the King’s abdication, took out a crystal from his chest and handed it to Muria.

“Really…” Muria pulled the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say. The magic technology controlled by Elasia has surpassed Earth in many ways in his previous life. However, it’s just not widely popularized yet. Ordinary mortals simply cannot enjoy the convenience brought by the advanced magic technology.
