Chapter 327: Instruction (Additional Request for Subscriptions)
Translator: 549690339
Western Region, on the road.
Su Lu was riding side by side with ssiah on two horses.
Along the way, they occasionally saw artisans and small rchants who were visibly uneasy and fleeing in haste, as well as so wandering knights whose faces were excited.
“Teacher… why are there wars in the world?”
ssiah, still disguised as a boy, looked at these scenes, her face rarely showing confusion.
“Oi!”
But before she could finish her question, her head was knocked.
“Stupid question! The reason for wars is because you’re not strong enough! If you were like your ancestor, Dragan the First, none of this would have happened!”
Su Lu scoffed.
“Strength, huh?”
ssiah muttered, bewildered.
“That’s right, you need strength. Not just the power you control yourself, but also enough armies, enough knowledge, enough strategies… That’s why I’m taking you to the Western Region.”
Su Lu smiled,”Your mother’s relatives are by no ans simple, and are perfect for you to ‘learn’ from at this ti! While on this journey, I will teach you so skills of the Transcendents, passed down from Dragan the First.”
Training ssiah, besides indulging his whims, was most importantly in line with Su Lu’s interests!
On this continent, he didn’t have any specific goals to achieve, apart from collecting experience points.
And if the state of war on the continent ended in a very short ti, it wouldn’t benefit him much.
‘The more chaotic the world, the more hidden ambitious people will appear, perhaps even revealing so hidden third or fourth level occupational persons…’
‘How many enemies will I face by joining the ‘difficult’ war of unification? How much experience will I gain?’
Obviously, at this point, ssiah’s side is quite weak.
‘My only goal is experience points!’
‘After this trip, I might go explore so ancient ruins.’
The Dawn of the Gods still exists in this world, so powerful forces, strong individuals, might have left hidden legacies.
That would not only be an accumulation of knowledge, but could also be accompanied by experience!
After all, slaughtering isn’t the only source of experience points.
At night.
Su Lu set up a simple tent camp, tying the horses to a stump next to him.
The boiling iron pot cooked the freshly picked wild vegetables, which were added to the dried at, stewed into a fragrant hot soup, accompanied by sweet and soft honey bread, was the ultimate enjoynt for travelers.
During this ti, Su Lu was busy instructing ssiah.
“Extraordinary People! Transcendents! Occupational Persons! Or the Knights and Wizards… They all represent the sa kind of people, humans who possess transcendent power!”
Su Lu sat on a stone stool, next to him was ssiah, carefully attending the lesson.
“The power I’m going to teach you leans towards what this world understands as wizardry… mainly using your heart to perceive nature, converse with beasts, and eventually drive them… There are also so breeding techniques that can make your pets ferocious, run faster, or possess deadly poison… The ultimate goal is to train or enslave transcendent species!”
Su Lu briefly explained the [Shepherd] profession.
“Initially… you may not be able to enslave transcendent creatures, but you can start with ordinary creatures, like…this!”
He casually grabbed a black snake, its triangular head hissing, it was clearly venomous.
Seeing it, ssiah imdiately felt goosebumps all over her skin – as a girl, she was naturally afraid of such creatures.
“So large beasts can’t enter your familiar castles… but small animals can. The snake can protect you, the birds can be your eyes, and spiders can be your ears.”
This was actually sowhat beyond the capabilities of a [Shepherd], but Su Lu believed that ssiah could do it.
Thanks to a portion of her properties being transford by the Dragon Crystal, her basic attributes had already reached the requirents of the job. In addition, the touch of Dragon Might contained in her dragon blood endowed her soul with a touch of majesty, capable of intimidating ordinary beasts and even weaker transcendent creatures.
In terms of the [Shepherd] path, this aptitude is simply extraordinary.
“Now… ta it according to what I taught you!”
Su Lu casually tossed the snake onto the ground.
“Ah!”
ssiah jumped in fright, but after hesitating for a mont, he still stepped forward, his eyes staring directly into the vertical pupils of the black snake, as if communicating silently.
Su Lu’s intuition could sense that a very faint Dragon Might was emanating from ssiah, deterring the creature in front of him.
“Hiss…”
The nervous black snake that had been in an attacking stance suddenly made a move. It lowered its head, as if kissing the ground, indicating submission.
“Make it move…”
Su Lu continued.
A mont later, he saw the black snake winding around ssiah’s arm, turning into a black armband.
The danger had disappeared; curiosity sparked again as ssiah was curiously examining his ‘new friend’.
‘Such speed… truly astonishing…’
Even Su Lu could not help sighing in his heart.
At this pace, Sophia would likely have been promoted to [Shepherd] by the ti they reached the ancient castle of the Dreke family.
“It… it’s so fun; it’s not scary at all!”
ssiah stretched out his small hand, letting the black snake lick it, and burst into occasional laughter.
“That’s enough, stop playing and rest properly after eating.”
So ti had passed since the events at the palace, and seeing her mood improving, Su Lu couldn’t help but nod in silent approval.
Soon, the campsite beca serene.
After letting ssiah enter the tent, Su Lu extinguished the fire. He suddenly looked at a shadow and said, “Co out.”
A middle-aged man wearing a linen robe, with a very typical facial appearance, walked out: “Greetings to the sir!”
“I originally thought you were one of the Queen’s n, but it turns out you’re like Erik, loyal to Duke Immon of Black Castle!”
Su Lu said with a smile.
“Greetings from Duke Immon of Black Castle, he hopes that you would relinquish control over ssiah,” the middle-aged man bowed deeply as he spoke.
“That’s impossible.”
The smile on Su Lu’s face did not change.
In fact, ever since he took ssiah away from Dragon City, they had been pursued nurous tis along the way.
So of these pursuits ca from the Duke of Wolf Fort, and so from other unknown forces, but they were all dealt with one by one.
As for the Duke of Black Castle, he was the least likely to reach an agreent with him.
After all, Su Lu had promised Lady Rose and Uer to resist the Black Ring School together.
The war among the wizards was also a source of experience points he had reserved for himself.
“That’s truly a pity.”
The middle-aged man retreated into the darkness, his face expressionless.
“So you think you can just leave that easily?”
Su Lu looked at his figure, a trick card appearing in his hand.
“Roar!”
A centaur beast holding a silver spear materialized from thin air, leaping out from the front of the card and charging at the middle-aged man.
“If you can survive the centaur’s pursuit, I’ll spare your life!”
