Chapter 738: Chapter 732: The Filthy People
The carved wooden door with hollow details was inlaid with runes that gathered Arcane Force, and the ingeniously crafted jade bed exuded a subtle and elegant fragrance.
David Jones scanned the room and noticed that the items inside all carried a hint of girlishness.
“Interesting.”
Under the watchful eyes of the little ones, David Jones took a few steps forward, approaching a bookshelf where books were arranged haphazardly.
His fingertips slid over the spines of the books, eventually coming to rest on the third compartnt’s fifth book.
“Click!”
As David Jones pressed on the book like a switch, what seed to be an immaculate wall slowly parted in the middle, revealing a secret passage covered in fine brocade.
The passage was lit by a series of faintly glowing lamps.
“What treasures could the Keynes have!” Grau yawned, his tone sowhat disdainful.
“I’m just looking for so research materials. Daisy Keynes’s line of thought is completely different from Miss Tracy’s; there might be so value in it,” said David Jones, calmly.
“Eep!”
Rainbow swallowed nervously.
Whenever perfect Evolution was ntioned, it couldn’t calm its heart.
After opening the door to the last room in the corridor, David Jones frowned slightly when he saw three top-grade copied manuscripts of Calm Mind techniques strewn about the desk.
These three were the “Solar Heavenly Observance,” the “Eternal Ice Refining thod,” and the “Five Elents Refining Ice-Fire Contemplation.”
“Rainbow, can you cultivate them?”
“Eep.” (I can give it a try.)
The Rainbow Spirit Dragon’s eyes glead slightly, engaging its Absolute Will, choosing to comprehend all three Calm Mind techniques in one go.
Seeing Rainbow absorbed in cultivation, David Jones continued to carefully inspect the room.
“There really isn’t anything good here,” Grau sighed and picked up a book to flip through.
“The Destruction Demon Dragon, ford by the intertwining of elental Ice and Fire, possesses endless energy. It is the embodint of power and also symbolizes the terrifying Demon Dragon of destruction.
“No one in the world has ever witnessed Its majestic form, and the pitch-black ‘Filth’ that remains behind, no, perhaps ‘destructive divine power’ is a more apt description.”
After reading the text recorded in the book, Grau suddenly noticed a figure appearing behind him.
“Grau, may I have a look?” David Jones asked softly.
“Of course.” Grau casually tossed the book to David Jones.
“Filth People”
David Jones glanced at the title of the book, then solemnly turned to the first page.
“The favored ones of the Destruction Demon Dragon… Heirs lost in Umbral… Towers of the Cross-world Gate… Holy Dragons guarding destruction…”
“If Umbral really exists, why has there never been a ntion of this nation in history? Could it be that the Demon Dragon of Destruction is rely the fignt of our forebears’ imagination?”
Having read the last page of self-doubt left by Daisy Keynes, David Jones fell silent.
So it was, the imperial family of Umbral were the people of Filth, the inheritors and guardians of the Destruction Demon Dragon’s power, and their ancestors once received the power given by the Demon Dragon and accepted the task of guarding the Filth.
The so-called Guardian Dragon God was actually one of the strongest among the Ghosts, favored by the Demon Dragon, transford from human to dragon, becoming the Filth Guarding Dragon!
“Hoo!”
David Jones exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling sowhat relieved.
According to the book, the strength of that Guardian Dragon God was at the apex of an Immortal, and any being daring to enter the Cross-world Gate or the guarding tower would be slain by it.
It was fortunate that he had known when to stop and did not venture toward the Imperial City of Umbral; otherwise, his grave grass might now have been three feet tall.
With that thought, David Jones closed the book and glanced once more at the cover.
“Written by Daisy Keynes, the Silent One”
“Unfortunately, much of what this book discusses is ambiguous, and it rely speculates about the so-called Filth,” David Jones reflected.
At that mont, Rainbow had also finished comprehending the three Calm Mind techniques, and the visible excitent on its face showed it had gained so insights.
“Let’s go, there’s no use for us here anymore,” David Jones said.
…
In the afternoon, at the city teleportation circle.
Roo Sora was holding two silver cases in his hand.
“This is the Dragon Chanting Poison Crystal that you, Lord Grau, requested to exchange.” He said with a smile as he handed the cases to Grau.
Grau promptly opened the case, revealing a spiraled jade stone, and while pretending to scrutinize it, he communicated telepathically with David Jones.
“How is it, what’s the quality?”
David Jones activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye and took a quick look.
[Dragon Chanting Poison Crystal]: A B tier, Level VIII, legendary resource. A horn shed by a Legend’s venomous dragon during transformation, extrely toxic and pure, capable of purifying bloodline toxins, and can be used to comprehend the Rule of Poison.
“B tier, Level VIII, the quality is average,” David Jones replied.
“Enough, enough!” Grau said, his dragon eyes narrowing with joy.
“Sorry, due to the high demand for dragon resources, the Guild treasury temporarily didn’t have the Level VII True Dragon heart you needed.”
Upon catching David Jones’s glance, Roo Sora opened the other case to reveal two dark golden cards.
“A rit card worth fifty thousand dollars and the contact card of Guildmaster Harvey.”
Envy lingering in his eyes, Roo Sora stated, “If you wish to master Perfect Coordination of Beast Taming, you can use this card to contact Guildmaster Harvey. He will provide you with a week of special training.”
“With your monstrous talent, mastering Perfect Coordination of Beast Taming within a week shouldn’t be difficult.”
At this mont, Roo Sora noticed David Jones’s calm deanor and couldn’t help but pause. “What’s wrong, you’re not satisfied?”
“It’s alright.”
David Jones took the rit card, then inserted it into his phone.
Fifty thousand rit points were enough to exchange for five Level VII, commonplace Epic resources or one Level VII True Dragon heart. Although the reward couldn’t compare to Grau’s, it was still decent.
As for Pet Bond Coordination, he had already mastered much of it, and the Guildmaster’s card might be useful for other purposes in the future.
“The city Hegemony Race wasn’t thoroughly enjoyable. I hope we have a chance to battle full force next ti!” Roo Sora declared with blazing eyes.
David Jones nodded slightly, then stepped into the teleportation circle under the admiring gaze of nurous Trainers around him.
…
Back in Rosewood City, David Jones went straight to the Trainer Guild to complete the approval process for the Imperial Palace Pavilion.
“Take this process sheet to Wood Square, and you’ll be all set.”
Virgil Harvey’s expression was cold as he casually took out a docunt and handed it to David Jones.
“Understood.”
Seeing Guildmaster Harvey’s businesslike attitude, David Jones had no interest in small talk. He said his goodbyes and prepared to leave.
“Wait!”
David Jones turned to look at Guildmaster Harvey.
“You perford quite well in Celebration City,” Virgil Harvey said calmly.
Then, with a flash of his Star Ring, a white jade bottle and a keen golden crystal appeared on the table.
“What is this?” David Jones asked, puzzled.
“Each leader of Rosewood is entitled to resources invested by Rosewood College.”
Virgil Harvey fixed his gaze on David Jones, “This bottle of Nine-Purity Spring Water and the White Tiger gold crystal are the share of resources that Lilith Hoyle and I have decided for you.”
David Jones was slightly taken aback.
“Don’t be surprised. Even though I can’t stand that Lilith Hoyle, there’s no doubt that no branch of the Harvey family doesn’t want Rosewood College to beco more powerful.”
Virgil Harvey lowered his head to continue with his work.
“Train your reincarnated divine beast well. As long as you are strong enough, I don’t mind you becoming the helmsman of Rosewood College.”
“In this world, only power and strength are the immutable truth!”
