Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Hubbub (24)_1 Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Hubbub (24)_1 “Is that horn above something special?”
Amidst the surging crowd, Riet followed her sister’s instructions, carefully keeping her distance from others while pointing at the lighthouse above and asking.
“It probably isn’t. Although Valentine is quite prestigious, he’s still a common man. If it were really a Transcendent item, they wouldn’t let him touch it.”
Veil shook her head, looking up at the massive horn atop the lighthouse.
“What about the person next to him?”
“The one next to him… should also be well-known figures in Dunis. But I’m not very familiar with them. What’s the matter with you?”
Veil asked, sensing that her sister was not as cheerful as she expected.
“I don’t know. I just suddenly feel a bit uneasy.”
Riet said, looking down and sounding subdued.
“Because of that guy?”
Veil’s tone was unsurprised.
If that man who played tricks under the guise of the supernatural was indeed Lu Ming from the Ring Islands, then the impact of his words on her sister could only be imagined.
“Don’t worry. Although I don’t think it’s likely, even if something does go wrong, we’ve made special preparations, haven’t we?”
She reached out and touched her sister’s mask.
“Rest assured, even though there are an exaggerated number of people here, I am still confident I can protect you and get us out if things go south.”
“…Okay!”
Riet didn’t say much more, and continued to look up and observe.
Count Valentin, dressed in finery, was already white-haired and waved to everyone as he stepped forward.
However, it was evident that even someone as esteemed as he didn’t dare to delay the crowd for long.
The gathered revelers clearly had no interest in any historical significance or symbolism. A slight delay in the proceedings would lead to a buzz of noise.
Soon, in the center of all attention, he stood in front of a massive horn.
…
It really is right beside us!
Fu Qian, wearing two layers of masks, was just like the Ver sisters, sizing up the top of the lighthouse.
Besides Valentin blowing the horn, there was a whole group of elderly tourists behind him, obviously notable figures of Dunis.
Among the neatly dressed crowd, Fu Qian decisively identified two familiar faces–his patron who provided the funds for his operation, and Veheler, who was showing his true face openly.
You’ve hidden well enough, but regardless of success or failure this time, old man Veheler is definitely going to take a fall.
And if Ya Yu’s Puppet was there, Ya Yu could appear at any moment.
It’s just that I don’t know where Ariel has gone.
Wuu–
As he pondered, a deep and thick horn sound had already emerged, echoing instantly across the docks and almost forcefully suppressing the noisy crowd.
Yet the horn didn’t stop; instead, it grew more spirited and intense, making people worry about Old Man Valentine’s cerebral vessels.
And just as the sound continued to pierce the heavens, from two other directions of this city, similar sounds followed in succession.
The moment these calls echoed each other, the quieted crowd burst into a tremendous shout.
…
“What are they doing now?”
Startled by the shouting, Riet suppressed her restlessness and asked, pointing to the side.
Right there, she watched as more than one person pulled out mercury-like liquid and tilted their heads to guzzle it down.
“Mercury Storm, strictly speaking, is a kind of Transcendent potion, only the effects are very mild.”
Veil explained with a chuckle.
“After drinking it, you can make a storm-like roar for a short time. It’s almost a specialty item for the Festival of Hubbub.”
“That’s amazing–”
Riet immediately perked up, her voice tinged with envy.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared it for you.”
Veil had long since seen through her intentions and in the next moment, she miraculously produced a small bottle as if by magic.
…
Riet hesitated only for a moment before reaching out to take it.
However, just as she was about to lift her mask and drink it all in one gulp, a thunderous roar jolted her entire body, nearly causing her to stumble.
Clenching the small bottle in her hand, she instinctively looked towards the source of the noise and spotted a rather burly figure.
This is…
Beyond shocked, Riet felt somewhat ashamed of her own timidity.
Just as she was about to grit her teeth and continue drinking the potion, Veil abruptly grabbed her wrist.
“Wait!”
“What’s wrong?”
Whether it was the voice or the vise-like grip on her hand, Riet felt her sister’s anxiety almost tangibly manifesting.
“There’s a problem!”
Veil answered hurriedly.
“This isn’t a normal person who has taken the potion, this is a Transcendent, a crazed Transcendent!”
Before she finished speaking, another roar erupted, even more explosive in intensity than the previous one.
“Run!”
Veil promptly knocked the small bottle from her sister’s hand and grasped her, moving swiftly towards the exit.
…
Was this Ariel’s doing? Clearly, the Windbreaker Guy wasn’t the only victim.
Fu Qian quietly watched the two Transcendents who had suddenly gone mad in the distance.
If he remembered correctly, both were Night Watchmen he had taken note of before.
And after the sound of the horn, they seemed to have a switch activated within them and began to bellow recklessly.
Without a doubt, they were shouting the name of the God of Hubbub.
Considering they were both from the Middle Tier, it was unlikely they would stoop to merely creating ambience; it was clear they were affected.
Someone had implanted a psychological trigger in them, causing them to roar this way upon hearing the horn.
No wonder he wasn’t very concerned about whether he and Marco stuck to the plan; it turned out a backup plan had already been arranged.
If that was the case, the legendary Tidal Resonance must be on its way, right?
In fact, Fu Qian had already seen that the crowd around the two howling Transcendents, instead of moving aside while bleeding from their mouths and noses, climbed up and howled even more forgetfully.
The roar was like a mountain tsunami!
Countless cries of “Hamadus” reverberated and overlapped in the skies above Sea City, rapidly swirling into a massive storm.
The sanity of the revelers tore into wisps of regret, being shredded into the waves.
Including the Transcendents.
From Fu Qian’s perspective, the Night Watchmen he had placed around him had nearly half succumb in a short span of time.
Clearly, this thing was already affecting their minds.
“Silence!”
The next moment, a sigh-like voice pierced through the storm, faintly suppressing the din.
Had the Night Watchman’s Demigod taken action?
Fu Qian nodded silently, not surprised by this turn of events.
How could there not be a Demigod stationed at a crucial place like the Lighthouse?

But why did this voice carry such a deathly aura? It seemed as if its specialty wasn’t entirely aligned.
Clearly, he was desperately trying to suppress the formation of the Hubbub Tide.
And according to what Veheler had previously said, if the Hubbub Tide wasn’t strong enough, then it was very likely that Hamadus would fail to be summoned, and his own mission would undoubtedly remain unfulfilled.
While thinking, Fu Qian stood still, with no intention of crushing the talisman in his hand.
He chose to continue trusting in his fellow Daoist.
