Chapter 321 - 0321: Meeting (1800 addition, request for monthly pass)
After giving the curse, Su Lu immediately felt that his surroundings became much quieter.
For several continuous days, he was no longer subjected to prying eyes from the north.
“It seems… the duke of Wolf Fort and his son are intelligent, I was quite looking forward to their attack…”
Su Lu held a cup of red tea, blowing on the steam that rose from it.
His current strength still could not compare to that of twenty-thousand soldiers. If he were to impulsively confront them head-on and did not understand the concept of retreating, the possibility of dying in battle was very real!
However, formidable individual strength was one thing, but knowing how to use it was another.
For instance, directly implementing Decapitation Tactics.
Or perform daily sneak attacks, slaughtering hundreds one day, and several hundred the next day. Soon enough, the entire army would inevitably lose morale and dissolve into chaos.
This was Su Lu’s estimation of his own fighting capability, which outsiders knew nothing about.
“Now, on this continent, fourth-level strength has almost disappeared. The Duke families and the royal family all possess military strength around third-level on the surface, even the peak of the wizard schools… Once a shameless fourth-level being appears, it can easily cause havoc…”
He had some doubts about ‘Witch King’ Immon.
This Duke of Black Castle, a fourth-level wizard, did not even attend such important meetings as wizard gatherings. Perhaps he is scheming in the capital!
Given the fourth-level strength of the other party, coupled with some enchanting witchcraft, the various crude ‘performances’ in the capital some time ago have the most reasonable explanation.
“Immon of the third-level can’t do this yet, it may be related to some marvels and guardian forces handed down by the Royal Family, but the fourth level is different… In the age of Twilight, the fourth level is peak. This duke may have ambitions to unify the continent and become king.”
It really is a shame, to be frank.
After the fourth level, the fifth level is a dead end in this era, and one can only shift their focus to something else.
Not Su Lu!
The existence of his attribute list and previous conditions for taking office have already illustrated that as long as the requirements are met, he can possibly break free from his shackles and become a fifth-level professional during the Twilight era!
Just then, he was suddenly struck by an inspiration and looked towards the garden.
There, a rose bud quietly bloomed, ink-like handwriting emerged on the pink petals: “I hope I am not intruding, Lord Arrogant Tutor, I am Lady Rose from the Natural School.”
“What is this? A messenger? A familiar?”
Watching the words slowly disperse from the petals, Su Lu thought for a moment and then requested Ham to fetch a feather pen so he could write: “What can I do for you?”
“I need to discuss a matter with you, it concerns the Black Ring school and that ‘Witch King’. Lord Uer of the Mysterious Eye is also in the vicinity!”
The other side replied quickly.
“Time? Place?”
After careful thought, Su Lu decided not to refuse.
As for why Lady Rose would approach him, that was easy to understand.
Because amongst the large schools who possess advanced wizards, there are only these three, and the Arrogant School even has two advanced wizards, or more, making them an absolutely formidable force!
“We are already in the vicinity and hope to be a guest at your manor.”
Lorem lines of text appeared.
“Of course!”
Su Lu replied and, watching the rose wilt rapidly, he told Ham, who was standing by his side: “Prepare to receive two guests.”
Lady Rose and Uer arrived sooner than expected.
Just an hour after their conversion, two wizards, who seemed to be in disguise, arrived at the entrance of Su Lu’s villa.
“Welcome, Lady Rose, and Mr. Uer!”
Su Lu stood by the gate, with Silver Eye and Ham behind him.
“Lord Arrogant Tutor, it is a great pleasure to meet you.”
Lady Rose smiled and said, “Your area of influence is peaceful and safe, which is quite rare in this area… I believe Viscount, or even Earl, are more suited to your honor.”
It’s quite normal for wizards to have noble status on the surface, such as the Duke of Black Castle in the south.
However, as the leader of a large school and an advanced wizard, it was a bit mismatched to be just a lord.
“This is just a boring attempt…”
Su Lu sidestepped and invited the two wizards into the living room. Several children wearing swallowtail coats immediately brought in tea and pastries.
Most of them were orphans adopted by Ham in Dragon City. They were learning the Language of Arrogance and Gulam Language along with etiquettes.
Now, they all looked quite spirited with rosy faces and stronger bodies after receiving sufficient nutrition.
“Arrogant Rune?”
Uer glanced at the collar of the servant boy, took note of the tattoo that appeared below it, and marveled, “This is truly a great discipline, encompassing a whole new language and runeology. It’s very complete and mature. If possible, I’m willing to pay any price to acquire it.”
As a wizard, there is a thirst for truth.
“I am delighted to hear this, I’d love to trade with the two of you.”
Su Lu’s reply surprised both the wizards: “As the Arrogant Tutor, I am pleased to see the dissemination of the Language of Arrogance… By the way, it doesn’t need the support of the Meditation Skill, its compatibility is strong!”
“What?”
Both Uer and Lady Rose were taken aback.
He doesn’t care about something that clearly forms the foundation of the school?
They fell silent for a moment, before continuing: “You have a mind as broad as the sea.”
“Hehe… That’s a small matter. Today, the two of you have come about the affairs of the Black Ring School?”
Su Lu put down the white bone china teacup.
Upon hearing this question, Uer and Lady Rose straightened their posture and glanced at the people around them.
“Ham is my student, there are no outsiders in this villa.” Su Lu calmly stated.
“Well then, the reason we teamed up to come to Dragon City is because we have received credible intelligence… Immon, has indeed been promoted to becoming the ‘Witch King’ recently! The recent upheaval in the court is deeply connected to him.”
Lady Rose took a deep breath and said.
“But what does all this have to do with us?”
Su Lu asked in confusion.
“You don’t know Immon… He is a madman! When the Black Mist Entity was just a hypothesis, he dared to practice it on himself, and even succeeded… He has strong control, and the Black Ring School is very ambitious. If they gain huge secular power, they will definitely turn their attention to the wizard world, intending to swallow all the schools!”
Uer seemed slightly irritated.
“With the strength of the four of us advanced wizards, will we be able to stop a Witch King?”
Su Lu asked with a “grave” look on his face.
“We have to try!”
Lady Rose affirmed: “Before he causes a greater disaster!”
Just then, all the advanced wizards present furrowed their brows, looking towards the direction of Dragon City.
Subtle vibrations were being transmitted from there.
“What is that…”
The several people immediately stood up, their faces grave: “Although it’s faint, it has propagated this far? I’m afraid…”
