Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 638 - 561 Coronation Ceremony

"The coronation ceremony?"

Kane looked at Sofina in front of him and asked curiously.

Sofina nodded, then reached out and picked her ear, a small golden bug flew out.

Looking at the bug in her hand, a layer of transparent crystal appeared around Sofina's hand, enclosing the bug.

After completing this series of actions, Sofina turned to continue speaking: "Yes, Your Majesty, the coronation ceremony to become the King of Platinum, during which the Golden Bridge will lower its span to greet Your Majesty. Only then can Your Majesty damage the Golden Bridge."

Upon hearing Sofina's words, Heideline's hand immediately manifested a light pink magic.

Kane reached out to stop her action, squinting slightly as he looked at Sofina, who remained with that expressionless and cold face.

"Did you know?"

"I guessed, Your Majesty."

"You guessed quite accurately then." Kane chuckled and said.

Then looking at Sofina, he said, "Since you're bold enough to say it now, you surely have your own ideas. Go ahead."

Sofina nodded, "Your Majesty wants to destroy the Golden Bridge, the coronation ceremony is necessary, otherwise the Pope won't believe you nor summon the Golden Bridge."

Kane, entering his previous Divine Human State, had already detected the secret location hidden by the Golden Bridge Church.

The only thing not yet found was the so-called core of the Golden Bridge, possibly hidden away by the previous seal.

To achieve the final goal of finding the core of the Golden Bridge, it seems like cooperation with the Pope is required.

"Alright, then you can start arranging it, I hope you won't disappoint me."

Sofina nodded.

......

Two days later.

At the center of the map, surrounded by the lands of the kings.

The once-great Platinum Palace was situated here.

Following Sofina's guidance, Kane arrived at this location.

Looking at the vast ruins before him, it was apparent that this was once an incredibly large complex of buildings.

From the details on some buildings that haven't completely collapsed, one could see how grand and precise the palace once was.

Now, however, it had long become a wasteland.

"Your Majesty, this was once the Platinum Palace."

Kreya and others who came with Kane had already begun wandering around the ruins.

Listening to Sofina's words, Kane looked again at the vast ruins.

Feeling somewhat helpless, he said, "Must I hold the coronation in these ruins? Why not in Zorolostan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sofina nodded, "The coronation ceremony must take place here."

Saying that, she again took out the golden bug from her ear and enclosed it.

Reportedly, this thing is used to communicate with the church, with certain monitoring and eavesdropping functions.

"This Platinum Palace was once the coronation place of the King of Platinum, and when the Golden Bridge was initially sealed, it was in this area. The sealed Golden Bridge can only lower its guide here."

Upon hearing Sofina's words, Kane could only nod helplessly.

Since the sealed Golden Bridge can only act in this area, there's really no choice.

"Shouldn't the Platinum Palace be the residence of the King of Platinum? How did it become like this, and why didn't the kings repair it afterwards?" Kane said helplessly, looking at the ruins.

On the other side, Heideline said, "It's said to be due to my brother's rebellion and the battle between the King of Platinum and the Golden Bridge. The kings later seized a piece of the debris and left, which is why this place has remained abandoned. No one dares to occupy it, as the kings are still alive. Although they say nothing, they have tacitly declared this region part of their territories."

Listening to Heideline's story, Kane turned to look at her, "Do I have to hold the coronation in front of everyone?"

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Seeing Kane somewhat unwilling, Heideline continued to persuade him, explaining the benefits of such a coronation ceremony.

"Your Majesty, currently, all surviving intelligent beings lack a pillar in their hearts. Your coronation as the King of Platinum could greatly awaken their vitality."

"Moreover, many people still understand the King of Platinum through the legends that are scattered around this continent."

"Though everyone despises and even hates the century of wars caused by the kings, they're also curious about the throne of the King of Platinum that the kings vie for."

"Defeating the kings, saving them from suffering, and ending centuries of war, then successfully being crowned King of Platinum—such an epic tale would greatly uplift them, making them recognize you."

"Also..."

Watching Heideline seemingly wanting to say more, Kane quickly waved his hand to interrupt, "Alright, alright, I got it."

At this time Kreya and the others came over, seeing the smiling expressions on their faces.

"What do you want?" Kane asked warily.

Kreya did not speak, but wrapped her arm around Kane's, leaning against him.

Lilu also flew onto Kane's other shoulder, using both hands to massage him.

Longbei hurriedly took a chair from his space equipment and placed it nearby, letting Kane sit down, then helped Kane by massaging his legs.

Four blue Magic Palms holding various drinks floated before Kane for him to enjoy.

Seeing everyone's actions, Kane immediately jumped up.

Something's wrong.

There's a big conspiracy.

"Quickly, say what you want." Kane looked at the people before him with caution.

These few must have just discussed something nearby.

Kreya slowly stretched out her hand and took out a space pocket from the void, then handed it to Kane.

Kane looked at the space pocket handed over, caught it, and found this thing somewhat familiar.

Opened it and took a look.

What the hell!

At this moment Kreya's voice came: "As the King of Platinum, you can't be crowned on this ruin, can you?"

"Exactly! Good brother, this ruin is too disgraceful to you, it definitely needs to be properly renovated."

"Yes, yes! Lilulu also thinks so."

Having seen what was inside the space pocket, Kane fully understood the thoughts of those in front of him.

The space pocket was nothing else but the parting gift that Aiklonen had once given them.

Inside were various materials, many of which were unique to dungeons.

These materials were not for anything else but to reconstruct Aiklonen's palace, which Kane and the others had experienced once.

The facilities and comfort of that palace still linger in their minds, making them nostalgic.

Furthermore, there was a guidebook on construction, with detailed annotations from the exterior to the internal structure.

At this moment, handing these things to Kane meant hoping he would reconstruct the location of the Platinum Palace into a building similar to Aiklonen's palace where they once lived.

Building this thing certainly requires considerable effort and energy.

Although Kane can use authority and his origin skills to assist construction, it's important to know the authority can only be used with dungeon-native materials.

Many of these materials are unsuitable, Kane can only use authority to create a large framework, then various functions, rooms, and facilities need to be built and filled by himself.

Even with his origin skills assisting, it still requires quite some time.

But Kreya and the others' suggestion, given at this time, was too good to ignore. Kane hadn't considered it before but now the choice is right in front of him, it's hard for Kane not to choose.

Looking at those in front of him, Kane's teammates staring at him with wide eyes.

Kane laughed aloud, clenched his fist and reached out: "Let's do it, brothers, charge!"

"Oh oh oh!" The others also cheered.

Only Sofina and Heideline, who followed along, looked bewildered at the side.

At this moment Kane walked over and said to the two: "You can start preparing, once we renovate here thoroughly, we can officially start the coronation."

Seeing Kane agree, Heideline nodded immediately: "Leave it to me, Your Majesty."

"I also take my leave, Your Majesty."

After saying this, the two turned around and left, starting to prepare for the coronation ceremony, both the tasks for Heideline and the preparations for Sofina were quite substantial.

Then Kane returned to Kreya and the others.

"Since we're building, let's build big, after all, Aiklonen teacher's palace was for leisure, using it as our palace is indeed a bit small."

"First draw a draft."

With that, Kane conjured a table, chair, and bench in place, then produced a piece of paper and began designing on it.

The prototype was the palace of Aiklonen, but Kane and the others needed to enlarge and change this palace.

Afterwards, as the design came together, everyone began to propose requirements and ideas.

"Build a huge garden here and plant the plants we've preserved, with the Authority of Life surely they will grow well," Lilulu pointed to a region and said.

This idea is good, no problem, let's add it.

"Then here make a large outdoor hot spring, I remember the teacher's palace had such a thing?" Kreya said.

This idea is completely fine, let's add it.

"Over here..."

After long discussions among everyone, it was finally completed.

Compared to the original palace, it was several times larger, and correspondingly some materials started to run short.

Kane immediately entered the Guild Hall on site, informed Adoma about the missing materials for purchase, most of these materials were not rare, just cost money to acquire.

Then handed a lot of funds to Adoma, and took out another list of various precious and rare materials from elsewhere.

Also handed this list to Adoma, asking him to spend time and effort gathering as many materials from it as possible.

These materials being rare and precious isn't achievable in a short time.

While the materials used most in palace building, Kane and the others can directly construct in the dungeon on site.

Finally returning to the dungeon, Kane poured out all the materials inside the space equipment, piling them beside him.

Looking at the vast ruin in front, Kane glanced at Kreya and the others beside him.

Seeing their leisurely look: "You're not just planning to watch from the side, are you?"

Judging by their puzzled looks, it seemed that was indeed their thought.

Immediately entering the Divine Human State of the Platinum Scepter, silvery platinum light burst from his eyes as he looked at the others, "Are you forgetting you can now use the authority of creation too?"

"Just gained the power and not familiar, didn't think about it," Kreya said apologetically.

Then everyone entered the Divine Human State (Platinum Country edition), and began to get proficient at using the authority of creation around them.

Having no experience at all, doing something as intricate as palace construction requires a bit of practice before they can really get started.

After all, Kane's quick mastery of creation authority was entirely due to his origin skills and the effects being very similar to creation of all products.

"Well then, everyone get to work, first clear away this ruin."
