Chapter 1591: In The Wall



Wultz, the old man, hesitated a lot before finally coming to terms with the fact that there was nothing he could do here that would get him away from the Military's grasp.

If it was just Ning alone, maybe he could do something. But there were soldiers all around, that were only guarding the location. But if they did something to Ning, they would immediately gang up on them.

That was not the way to go. The Military could not be stopped with what he had at hand at the moment.

They had found what was happening here, and now, he needed to reveal it. He wished he would have had more time. He wanted to give those people more time.

Alas, there was none.

"Come with me," The old man said and started walking in a certain direction.

Ning followed him, quickly realizing that they were moving toward one of the sections far away from the opening that was under construction.

The ground was very uneven, made intentionally that way so that they would have material later on to carve houses out of. The city was as large as any, but without all the houses, it didn't take as long to traverse the entire length.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

They arrived next to an unmade section of the wall and the man turned toward one of the workers that was working nearby.

"Open it," he said.

The worker turned, looking at Wultz surprised. "Open... what?" he asked, looking at Ning next.

Ning noticed the attempt at trying to feign ignorance, and he wondered what sort of activity was going on here that everyone was privy to.

The worker slowly moved toward the wall and pulled out a chunk of the wall, leaving behind a small opening that led to a properly established section on the inside.

Ning curiously walked in, ducking a little through the initial hallway, before realizing that the rest of it was quite tall. Surprisingly, well established.

Someone had worked very hard on making these hallways.

"You've got lights here," Ning said with a hint of surprise at their size. Light crystals were easy to buy, but only the tiny ones. They charged faster and were easy to transfer around.

The lights that were used in the ceiling and major sections of the city were massive. They looked small from the ground, but each one of the crystals was the size of a regular man. The same lights had been installed in this hallway as well.

This was a group with a large connection, it seemed. Was it another case where the military was involved too?

"I wasn't aware you could get these lights smuggled too."

The crystals that glowed for light in this world needed to be put out in the sun to charge. It lasted a long time when charged fully in the sunlight, and the only ones who could get it to the sunlight were the military.

They were the only ones with the ability, authority, and intention to do such a thing, no other person could do such a thing at all.

Given their size, there was no chance these had been bought at all, so all evidence pointed to someone's involvement in Ning.

"We didn't steal those," the old man said in a grumbling tone. "They are the ones to be used in the ceiling. We're temporarily making use of them."

"Temporarily, huh?" Ning asked. He wasn't sure he believed them.

Still, what exactly was this place? Where had he come to?

He walked through the long hallway and finally began seeing openings in the place. There were no doors to close at all, and Ning could see everything inside when he arrived at the

rooms.

He looked inside the first one and saw a bunch of... metals. They seemed to be metal of some sort at different angles, all piled in a corner of the room.

He looked through the other door and saw a man with his back faced against the door working on something.

worked.

The woman then flipped the magnet to the other side and put it closer to the piece of metal

again.

However, this time, they didn't attract each other at all.

It was only then that Ning realized that the hanging piece of metal was a magnet as well. It

was hard to judge as it didn't look like one at all.

The hanging magnet flipped suddenly joined with the magnet on the woman's hands.

Ning couldn't understand why he was being made to watch this all. What was the point of

this?

"Did you see that?" he asked.

"See what?" Ning asked. "The magnet flipped when I brought it closer," the woman said.

"Yeah, you have the same poles pointed at each other," Ning said.

"Pole? What are you talking about? Don't speak nonsense and just listen," the woman said.

"You did see what happened, didn't you?"

"Yes," Ning said.

"Do you know why that is happening?" the man asked.

Ning had some ideas, but not a lot. "Not at all," he said in the end.

"Exactly!" the woman said. "I don't know either. Why do magnets don't attract to each other

in one direction, and then you turn one piece around and they suddenly start working? Isn't it

fascinating? How do they work?"

Ning looked at the woman. "You don't know the answer too, do you?" he asked.

"No, but that is what we're trying to figure out," she said. "And not just about magnets.

About everything."

"There is so much of the world that we live in that we take for granted. Me and my fellow

scholars have decided that enough is enough. One way or another, we will learn more truths

about this world."

"And that is what we are doing here. We are trying to learn the world, understand it better,

and discover what is hidden."

"If you too believe that what we are doing is fair, I plead that you do not tell of this to your

superiors."
