“Hahahahaha, of course! With your level and strength, why would you need to be apprenticed to a master?” Dali said with a smile.

  At this point, Lilian, who had been silently standing beside Mike for a long time, spoke up.

  “By the way, we haven’t met the leaders you mentioned before! Are they still here?”


  When Dali heard this, he replied to Lilian.

  “Of course they are in Xinluo City, but they are not here. They are living in the palace of Xinluo City!”


  “The Palace of Xinluo City?”


  Mike asked in confusion.

  What confused Mike was that he did not know how Xinluo City could complete a series of buildings that were so advanced, in such a short time.

  Even if everything here had been built after Lieluo Army had taken over, doing it in half a year seemed like an impossible task.

  Dali smiled and said, “The palace in the city was the residence of the leaders in the southern part of the Empire. After we took over this place, we modified it to create the current palace in the city!”


  “What about the other buildings, and what about the series of rules here? Were they established only after you guys captured this place?” Mike asked.

  Dali nodded with a smile, in reply.

  “It’s amazing, right? This is like an impossible miracle. Hahaha, even we feel that it’s incredible, but we really did it!”


  Dali smiled and walked towards Mike. He patted Mike’s shoulder and said, “Before I led the team to go undercover at the Empire, I met a master here called Stark. Not only is he a construction genius, but he’s also a political expert!”


  “His theory and method of urban construction planning are greatly appreciated by the leader!”


  Hearing this, Mike said impatiently.

  “Dali, can you take us to meet the two leaders and the master named Stark now?”


  Dali replied with a smile after hearing that.

  “Of course, we can meet them anytime we want, but it’s time for lunch now.

  “I think you should stay here and have lunch first. In the afternoon, I’ll take you to the Palace of Xinluo City to find the two leaders and Master Stark. How about that?”


  Mike agreed readily.

  Then, Dali brought the two of them to the dining hall of the military base.

  The dining hall of the military base was simple and not very complicated, but the internal structure was quite complete.

  All the facilities were complete.

  Moreover, the space here was large enough to accommodate many people.

  Mike looked at the endless stream of soldiers coming and going, and a feeling of admiration rose in his heart.

  Dali also led the two people towards the interior of the restaurant.

  Mike and Lilian followed Dali to a private compartment.

  Although it was a private space, the interior decoration was not much better than the outside.

  Just then, an old woman knocked on the door of the compartment. Dali signaled her to come in.

  The old woman asked, “The Regiment Commander has brought two new friends today?”


  “Hahaha, yes, the two of them are great contributors who provided important help to our army on the way here. We must treat them well today!”


  After Dali finished speaking, the old woman spoke.

  “Since the Regiment Commander has spoken, I will order the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous feast for both of them!”


  “Please do as you wish!” Dali said.

  The old woman nodded and left the room.

  Mike and Lilian observed the conversation between the old woman and Dali. They both opened their mouths to speak at the same time.

  “Dali, can you still order food in the dining hall of your military base?”


  Dali smiled and said, “Of course! We have a lot of freedom here! As long as you are willing to endure hardships while serving as a soldier here, you will definitely be treated well!”


  Then, as the three of them chatted for a while, the steaming hot food was served.

  Mike looked at the abundance of delicious food on the table, and could not help but to eat heartily.

  After the meal, the three of them left the place at noon.

  After a short rest, the soldiers in the military base resumed their training again.

  Dali took Mike and Lilian to the Palace of Xinluo City outside the military base.

  After Dali led Mike and Lilian out of the military base, they came to an abandoned warehouse.

  Then, Dali mysteriously moved a huge box aside.

  Behind the box was a secret door.

  Dali took a key out and opened the secret door.

  The candlelight in the secret door lit up instantly.

  Before Mike and Lilian could even sigh, Dali spoke first.

  “What do you think? This place is very mysterious, right? Hahahaha! This is also a secret passage that was designed by Master Stark!

  “It’s a secret entrance to the military base that leads directly to the Palace of Xinluo City!”


  Mike spoke after hearing that.

  “I didn’t expect Master Stark to be so cautious. To be able to design a secret passage, it seems that he’s not an ordinary person!”


  Dali smiled and said, “Don’t be too surprised when you see him then!”


  Mike was still confused, but Dali did not offer any further explanation.

  He just led the two to the front of the secret passage.

  After the three had walked for a while, Dali led the two of them into a secret door.

  Mike sighed in awe at Dali’s memory.

  “I didn’t expect this secret passage would be so complicated. If I accidentally broke in, I would be trapped here forever!”


  Mike sighed.

  Dali laughed and said, “Those who know this secret passage will never get lost!”


  “As for those who don’t know, I’m afraid that they would never find this place anyway!”


  Then, Dali turned a handle on the wall.

  An infinite light suddenly rushed in towards Mike and Lilian.

  It was at that moment that the last secret door was opened.

  What they saw beyond the door was the Palace of Xinluo City.

  Mike and Lilian followed Dali out of the place and into a garden.

  The secret door behind them was also covered with green plants.

  Dali reset the secret door.

  Suddenly, the secret door disappeared into a patch of green, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.

  Observing what had just happened in front of him, Mike could not help but sigh at the exquisite skill that came from the past.

  “I didn’t expect there to be such a magical secret passage here!”


  Hearing Mike’s words, Dali smiled and said, “Let’s go!”
