Chapter 225 The Fermenting Situation! The Birth of the Manga
Great Wilderness Monthly, Issue 135.
The last page, exchange section.
Since several people published comments about the research institute, the royal family, and the nobles in the previous 134th issue, the people of the Gula Kingdom are even more eager for the 135th issue.
How will those great nobles attack that foolish research institute and the foolish Minister of Supervision?
The eager lesser nobles and professionals were lining up to buy the 135th issue of Great Wilderness Monthly when they heard exclamations from the newsstand.
"Oh my! What is this! A new newspaper!"
"Deep Blue News? That's the Deep Blue Duke's newspaper!"
"Hurricane News?!"
"Andrew's Leg, Mountain Range Monthly, is this from that Mountain Duke guy?"
An old woman, acting strangely while in line, was filled with curiosity hearing the exclamations.
When it was her turn to buy, the newsstand vendor enthusiastically smiled and said, "We've added many newspapers this month! Would you like to take a look, ma'am?"
In the Abyss, no one can accurately judge someone's age by appearance, so men are all called Misters, women are all called Mams.
Some appear as children but have lived for thousands of years, like the deity "The Beginning of Hope."
Ordinary old people in their hundreds can't even compare to these beings' fraction.
The old woman hesitated not and opted for a copy of each.
The vendor was delighted, as for every ten copies sold beyond the quota, he earned an extra copper coin. The more he sells, the more commission he gets.
So he wasn't tired at all!
And after buying the papers, the old woman clasped a thick stack of ordinary-grade Azanen Paper and found an inn to book a room.
She even handed a gold coin to the innkeeper for speed, causing the innkeeper to look at her with a dumbfounded but kindly gaze before she hurried upstairs.
Once arriving in the room, the old woman exhaled a breath, removed her hood, revealing a man's face, her body restoring with the twist.
This person was Charlie!
Charlie, the Minister of Supervision at the research institute!
He first picked up the Great Wilderness Monthly among them; his eyes showed no hatred, no venom, only heaviness.
There's a saying circulating in the Abyss: In the Abyss, there are no fools.
Everything about Charlie was his disguise, making people think he was a mad dog under the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess did not truly notice such a small character like him. Relying on borrowed authority allowed him to rise to his current position; it was then the Moon Goddess merely noticed him, just a bit.
This time, his targeting Lin Ke was not the Moon Goddess's intention, but he played the "mad dog" role well.
Thus, the Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince were definitely implicated, even more unable to emerge.
He also represented the Moon Goddess and them to act outside.
In other words, leaning on the Moon Goddess, doing his own things.
People coming to the Abyss have various motives, Charlie's motive is ambition!
He doesn't want to be a minister; he wants to be the Great Emperor!
Of course, it's just a dream, like a person earning two thousand a month dreaming of winning five million.
If he can't be the Great Emperor, then he, Charlie, will become the most powerful person.
Unfortunately, with his average talent, he couldn't climb up through strength, so he could only maneuver among these big shots, hiding his ambition.
Finally, the outside world now knows!
While the Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince were punished with confinement, there was still a most loyal dog guarding the master outside!
He succeeded!
His backing successfully transitioned from the research institute to the Moon Goddess!
It can only be said, no one is simple.
Charlie slowly flipped open the Great Wilderness Monthly, his expression heavy as he browsed the news, especially focusing on the final section, exchanging comments section, seeing various comments:
The Mountain Duke expressed strong shock and indignation over the research institute's matters, declaring the royal family should swiftly and thoroughly investigate, implementing His Majesty Insomnia's edict...
The Hurricane Duke said nothing, merely a wind blew in the Abyss.
The Deep Blue Duke stated newspapers are a powerful and emerging tool, no one should monopolize the authorization to publish them.
The Green Leaf Duke said he really liked Lin Ke, like a man, forceful, he also has long disliked that group...
Charlie carefully examined the comments.
The Mountain Duke is tough on the outside but meticulous inside.
Rumor has it that the Hurricane Duke was born with a fart but later grew alive.
The Green Leaf Duke, outwardly a kindly old gentleman, is actually a terror known for being irritable and easily angered.
As for the Deep Blue Duke...
His finger brushed over the words of the Deep Blue Duke, Charlie squinted his eyes.
A Moon Goddess might be weak, but if a Duke also becomes his backer...
Charlie silently researching data in a tavern loved by lower-class talents, while numerous humans from the Holy Life Alliance and Eternal Freeze Court interacted with the newspaper for the first time.
No, not just newspapers.
Sitting in a juice restaurant loved by nobles, a group was elegantly reading the newspaper, not chaotic, noisy, or foul like at the tavern.
The nobles here lightly sip juice, their eyelids half open and half closed, noble expressions as they scanned the paper in their hands, occasionally showing a smile just revealing eight teeth.
However, at this moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Hahaha! Andrew's Leg."
Though the laughter quickly stopped, it still caused annoyance among the restaurant patrons.
Sitting at a table was a girl, opposite her was a cute, pink amphibian lifeform, much like the Dazed Beast from Lin Ke's past life.
Both the Dazed Beast and the black-cloth girl were reading the newspaper.
This girl was the Divine Dark Maiden!
Also the Dark Princess of the Gula Royal Family.
When the first person laughed, the Dark Maiden followed those around her in looking over displeased.
Making such a loud noise in this quiet restaurant is truly annoying.
The person realized this too, so forcefully repressed the laughter using practitioner strength but still had a flushed face.
"Meh meh." Across from the Dark Maiden, the beast made two calls to her.
"No, you're the Bloodthirsty Nightmare, not the Cannibal Terror Monkey, you can't eat him." The Dark Maiden tilted her head, seriously gazing at the Bloodthirsty Nightmare.
The pink creature called the Bloodthirsty Nightmare nodded, "Meh meh."
The two then resumed reading the newspaper.
Yet, at this moment, another from a nearby table suddenly burst into laughter, and it happened to be a woman wearing the latest Xiangnai epic edition dress.
The Dark Maiden didn't get to glance over before almost every laughter spread through simultaneously.
"I want to save every person here." The Dark Maiden gently wrinkled her brows; her form seemed about to dissolve into darkness.
"Meh meh, meh." In front of her, the Bloodthirsty Nightmare met her eyes, slowly shaking its head.
"But I really want to."
"Meh meh."
"I truly want to."
"Meh, meh meh."
"Alright then."
Ultimately, the Dark Maiden's darkness formed a shell encasing both her and the Bloodthirsty Nightmare, sealing out all external sounds.
Not a few seconds passed before the Bloodthirsty Nightmare suddenly emitted a laugh resonating through the heavens:
"Meh! Meh meh!!"
"What the heck!" The Dark Maiden was left dumbstruck for the first time.
Her Bloodthirsty Nightmare, with the coldest gaze, bloodiest hue, and most adorable body!
This cold-blooded assassin is laughing now?
But the Bloodthirsty Nightmare didn't do much, only turned its tail to point at the newspaper before the Dark Maiden, flipping to the second from last page.
Pictured are some drawings, not her disliked oil paintings but black and white sketches.
The content in the drawings was comical, capturing the essence of a person or Magical Beast.
The Dark Maiden was irresistibly drawn in by the scenes within, and after not even two minutes...
"Pfft!"
