Chapter 294  : Chapter 0294: Capital (Seeking Monthly Pass)

King’s Avenue.

“Charge!”

Decked in full armor, Ham shouted loudly, spurring his horse into a group of bandits.

He effortlessly sent a few opponents flying, scattering the small gang of thieves almost single-handedly.

“The armor and spear gifted by the tutor are so great!”

Ham captured a prisoner and returned to Su Lu, who had been watching the battle from the outskirts.

On his armor and spear, hidden mysterious runes – the Language of Arrogance – were etched.

After branding those runes, Ham’s armor and spear could barely be considered ‘enchanted weapons’ now, although the effects are weak and can’t last for long.

Nevertheless, compared to its peers, this suit performs considerably better.

For instance, after engraving the ‘lightweight’ rune on the steel armor, the weight has lessened by about 10% to 20% compared to similar armors.

“Good job! As usual, after interrogation, use him to test your abilities.”

Su Lu smiled.

“I’ll do it!” Ruff’s eyes lit up. He grabbed the prisoner, using a ‘curse’ on him – effectively muttering incantations at him.

His cries seemed like a madman’s howl; or countless low growls converging together. Severe pain crept onto the captive’s face and his eyes rolled back in his head.

In less than ten seconds, blood oozed from all his orifices.

Su Lu watched and grimaced, ‘Merely overwhelming the opponent by using a mental connection with a large amount of information? The damage and intensity are still insufficient.’

In his plan, ‘Whisperers’ would be equivalent to first-tier occupational persons, while ‘Chanters’ would be the second tier. ‘Sleep Talkers’ of the third tier could compete with Silver Knights and high-level wizards.

But now it seems, this new profession he has developed is generally still a little inferior to those of the same professional rank.

This is normal. The emergence of any profession is not perfect from the beginning; they require constant refinement and exploration.

‘Moreover…the ‘Whisperer’s path’ only has three tiers, and the subsequent development needs to be carried out by them on their own…’

Su Lu was still somewhat wary of Shewinado and did not plan to raise the level of the Language of Arrogance.

On the other hand, Silver Eye, who was standing nearby, had drastically changed.

Not only had he shaven his head bald, but he had also used methods similar to tattooing to engrave multiple Languages of Arrogance directly onto his body.

This kind of crazy enthusiasm is worthy of his wizard sect background, which is obsessed with body modification.

Moreover, his knowledge reserves and learning ability are far superior to those of Ham and his group. He has steadily entered the professional rank of ‘Chanter’ and is preparing to initiate a charge towards ‘Sleep Talker’, which is equivalent to the realm of a high-level wizard, with the Language of Arrogance as the core!

“Tutor! Just one more day’s journey ahead, we can see the city walls of the capital…”

After torturing the captive into unconsciousness, Ruff reported the information he gathered.

“Good, we can part ways here!”

Su Lu nodded,”The four of you have mastered the procedure of making the ‘Potion of Arrogance’. Go now… spread the seeds of the transcendents to the world, to the middle and lower levels!”

This so-called ‘Potion of Arrogance’ is simple to make. It doesn’t require stringent conditions. Ordinary fire can be used to heat mix the ingredients. And as for the most crucial ‘Transcendent Seed’? With their mastery of the Language of Arrogance, it’s sufficient to condense it independently.

If he further removes the restrictions, the spread of this system will become inevitable.

However, Su Lu welcomed this. Not only is this a reserve, but it’s also a probe and feedback on the world.

Besides, once the new system matures, he can reap it again and gain more knowledge about Shewinado.

After saying these, Su Lu disregarded his students, spurred the horse onward, and hurried towards the capital.

The four left behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Mr. Silver Eye… what should we do?”

As they watched Su Lu’s figure disappear, Ham and the others were dazed, “Isn’t the tutor going to keep us anymore?”

“No, he just assigned us our tasks!”

Silver Eye spoke in a calm manner: “I plan to find a place first to break through the threshold of the high-level wizards, then meet with people from other sects… I believe they will definitely be interested in the Language of Arrogance. As for you guys?”

He touched his chin, “Didn’t the tutor give the instructions already? Propagate the seeds of the transcendent to the middle and lower levels! Go to populated areas, promote your ideals and power, attract followers, select sect members… must… er…”

‘Be strict!’ Silver Eye wanted to say this, but realizing it contradicted Su Lu’s order, he swallowed his words, looking slightly awkward.

“I see, thank you, Mr. Silver Eye.”

Ham nodded solemnly, looking as though he already had a plan.

The capital of the Dragon King’s Kingdom sat atop the Golden Plains.

From afar, the skyscraping city looks much like a mountain. The earth-yellow city walls rise ten meters high, and the even grander palace within the castle can be seen.

This majestic city was initially established by Dragon King I, who is said to have harnessed the power of the Giant Dragon.

From the day it was built, Dragon City Capital became the indisputably ruling center and also the cultural and artistic heart of the continent. It carries the reputation of being the ‘infallible city’, and ironic as it may be, the few times it was breached were due to internal conflicts.

“Finally here at Dragon Kingdom’s capital – Dragon City!”

Su Lu, on horseback, drew closer and closer to the towering city along King’s Avenue: “Although the rumor says that all the dragons were buried with Dragon King I, the real treasure may not necessarily be in the Dragon Tomb…”

The nobles of this nation are practical; the needs of the living are more likely to prevail over those of the deceased.

Therefore, Su Lu felt it necessary to contact the Felitlin family.

Whether it’s dragon treasure or a possible Legendary inheritance!

‘Of course… they are the dominant rulers of the continent, there’s an eighty percent chance they won’t agree to do business with me.’

On King’s Avenue, the stream of carriages and people consistently merged in front of the towering city gate.

Having paid the city entry fee, Su Lu rode straight into the city.

‘This can indicate that the civilization level of this kingdom is still low… perhaps there should be a cattle and horse market set up outside the city?’

Seeing the crowded roads and ubiquitous horse dung, Su Lu made a bitter smile, got off his horse and led it by the reins.

He found an inn, took his horse to the stable, fed it fodder, and then came to the hall to order a pint of beer and apple pie.

There weren’t many people in the inn at this time, the seating was sporadic.

As soon as Su Lu picked up his fork and knife, a middle-aged man dressed in a grey linen robe stood before him: “Su Lu Pottery? Someone sends greetings from the west!”

“Hmm?”

Su Lu looked up to find this grey-robed man was of ordinary appearance, unnoticeable in a crowd, with a very low presence. But his eyes, which seemed like cat’s eyes, were exceptionally attractive.
