Hollow Knight: Hallownest

After the Soul Sanctuary conflict incident, the City of Tears did not carry out large-scale publicity and agitation.

This was due to Lurian's blockade of information and Somas's own control of the speech of his subordinates.

However, they could not withstand the spread of the news by the sentinels and onlookers who participated at that time. Although everyone kept silent on the surface, few of them really knew nothing about it.

The authenticity of public opinion is often lost in the process of dissemination. In the mouths of others, Mo Rong has become a terrorist who wants to destroy the research of Soul Sanctuary. The reason is just to prevent the development of Hallownest. Fortunately, the Lord Watcher intervened to stop it. Let the sanctuary be spared.

The identity of the champion gradually faded in people's hearts and turned into another look of hatred.

"Hey! Did you hear that? A big shot is coming to Lujiao Station in the east of the city today!"

"Big shot? How big?"

"How do I know this? I heard it from others."

Such conversations occurred in the streets and alleys of the city. Everyone headed to the east of the city with curiosity on their faces. The area near Lujiao Station over there was crowded with people who came to watch the show. It was a scene of empty streets.

"Damn it! Why are there so many people? Isn't it just one person who came here? As for everyone coming to see it?"

"You know shit, do you know where this news came from?"

"What? What else is there to say?"

The man with a very dissatisfied tone looked in the direction pointed by the figure who answered him. It was the tallest spire in the city.

"Really or not?! You can't talk nonsense!"

"What did I say?"

That man was very measured. When others asked, he just pointed and kept his mouth tightly closed.

Soon after, a large group of sentries came outside and cleared a blocked road. They stood on both sides of the road in an orderly manner, looking serious.

"This posture, tsk tsk tsk, looks really..."

Before he finished speaking, the noisy crowd on the roadside suddenly fell silent, and they all began to kneel down. However, the crowd was so crowded that many people had no place to stand. Apparently the visitor also knew this and hurriedly spoke.

"You don't need to salute for the time being. The place is crowded. I hope you can spread out to avoid accidents later."

It was Watcher Lurian who approached Antler Station through the path cleared by the sentry.

There was also a group of sentries behind him, and he called them to the entrance of Antler Station to help the sentries on the side to maintain order. After hearing Lu Ruien's words, the people nearby also began to move back a little, and the crowd became less dense.

"This... even the Lord Watcher came to greet you? Who is so shameless?"

"Please keep your voice down, are you stupid? Who else do you think can be welcomed by Lord Watcher?"

The silence among the crowd began to whisper after Lurian entered the Antler Station. The anticipation in the eyes of many people gradually became hot, and they stared at the exit of the Antler Station without blinking.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Heavy footsteps could be heard from the station, and anyone who sat there could tell that the stag beetle's pace was particularly steady today, and its frequency was much slower than before.

"See your Majesty!"

Lurian leaned down and saluted. The white figure slowly walking down from the back of the stag beetle in front of him was the Pale King.

"Flat body."

Lurian straightened up, with curiosity in his eyes in addition to awe.

You must know that if King Bai has something to do, he will usually appear directly on the spire. Why did he think of coming here on a stag-horned insect today?

King Bai could also see his doubts and smiled slightly:

"What? You don't welcome me?"

"The king's grace is so great that I welcome you here, and the residents in the city are just like me, and are looking forward to your arrival."

Lurian bowed and led King Bai in front of him. After thinking about it, King Bai was probably here to understand the sentiments of the people. No wonder he was sitting on a stag-horned insect.

As the white figure gradually appeared at the door of Lujiao Station, the eyes of the people on the side widened and they hurriedly knelt down.

No wonder the Lord Watcher told them to evacuate, otherwise it would be a serious crime to make a fool of themselves at this time.

"See your Majesty!"

The crowd on the roadside was surprisingly uniform and shouted respect for King Bai. The sound was so loud that the ground beneath their feet shook.

"Flat body."

The two words were spoken softly, but they drowned out the echoes of everyone and resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.

"How are the people of Hallownest doing lately?"

King Bai turned to look at a resident on the roadside. The man was still a little unbelievable. Was he named?

"Grass...grass...Grass people have seen...I have seen the king!"

His mouth was trembling. The man wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he lose his temper at this time?

"Haha, don't be nervous, just treat me as an ordinary person."

King Bai's body slowly emitted a bit of white light, which shrouded the people around him and calmed down that person's excited mood.

"Thanks to the king's concern, our life is very happy, don't you think so?"

Everyone around them nodded and agreed:

"Yes, King, don't worry. Being born in Hallownest is the happiest thing in my life."

"Yes, our life is wonderful. If you drive me away, I won't leave."

The White King just listened, with a kind smile on his face. The residents on the roadside were all praising his leadership and the greatness of Hallownest.

Lurian followed the White King, feeling quite comfortable, as he was doing his best to supervise the entire Hallownest.

Still thinking about how King Bai would praise him later, King Bai stopped not far away.

"Is this true?"

"Cao...cao people also heard what others said, but there were people who witnessed it at the time, so they can't be wrong."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the manhole cover over there hasn't been repaired yet."

"Okay, I understand. I will discuss this matter with the watcher. You can rest assured."

King Bai turned his head and motioned for Lurian to follow him quickly.

It turned out that the people around him were too excited and told them about the attack on the Soul Sanctuary, which made King Bai stop to ask.

The road made up of residents was actually not long, but people kept running back, wanting to see more of King White's true appearance, so he was surrounded by people until King White climbed up to the steeple.

At this point, the Antler Station in the east of the city also has a resounding title.

King's Station.

......

"Lurien, it seems that you manage the main city very well."

As soon as King Bai sat at the tea table, the butler served the tea that had been prepared for a long time, and then took the elevator down.

This place was not the time for him to stay.

"Your Majesty is full of praise, but I am just doing my best to protect Holy Nest for your Majesty."

Lurian stood beside King Bai and said respectfully.

"Sit down, do you know why I'm here this time?"

A white light enveloped Lu Ruien's body and slowly pressed him onto the seat next to him.

"I think the king is here to understand the sentiments of the people?"

"Half guessed right."

The White King inadvertently looked at the Soul Sanctuary. Even though it was only for a moment, Lu Ruien was still so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the explanation. The attack on the Soul Sanctuary was an emergency and was not deliberately done by Wei Chen."

As he said this, he wanted to get up and apologize to King Bai, but he was held up by that force and couldn't use any force.

"Hey, why have you become so sensitive, Lurian? Is it because I asked you to guard the main city these years?"

These words fell in Lurian's ears, making him understand that the White King did not come for the Soul Sanctuary, but that he was suspicious.

"The king's words have offended the ministers. Ever since the king handed over the duty of guarding the main city to the ministers, the ministers have always taken him as an honor and have never been dissatisfied with the king for a moment."

"As for the matter of the Soul Sanctuary, I personally took action to drive away the intruders, so the king does not have to worry."

The king didn't ask, but he couldn't hide it and didn't answer.

King Bai put the tea cup to his mouth, took a breath and drank it slowly.

"I have found a way to seal the ancient god. If this is done, it will ensure the prosperity of my Hallownest forever."

"...Ahem!"

Lu Ruien had just taken a sip of tea and almost couldn't help but spit out the tea after hearing King Bai's words.

"What?! Your Majesty, have you found a way?!"

How long has it been since the plague incident in the trials? And he hasn't learned much about this yet, but it has been quietly solved by King Bai?

King Bai nodded, slowly leaned his back on the chair, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But it will take time, and I don't know when I will succeed. Maybe the ancient god has broken through my temporary seal, and it hasn't been born yet."

"Perhaps in the next second when the two of us are talking, it has already appeared in this world."

"......it?"
