As a researcher of the Spirit World, Su Lu had encountered various evil spirits.

A headless spirit, while frightening in appearance, did not even reach the level of a first-class [Necromancer] and couldn’t faze him in the least.

What truly concerned Su Lu was the information radiating from the spirit.

“Human… this implies that human beings still exist in this world, which is excellent news!”

“Judging by the clothing, it seems he belonged to the lower class before his death… and the productivity of this world is likely very low…”

“Being beheaded… implies it’s not safe, whether it was executed by a public security officer or killed as retaliation, both represent that the human world is filled with wars and killings…”

As Su Lu silently observed the headless spirit, he suddenly spoke: “By my name… Su Lu Pottery! I command you to obey me!”

“Tell me! Your name and cause of death!”

His professional rank allowed him completely to command these low-level spiritual beings.

And this natural suppression due to his status wouldn’t change even if he switched to another world or the Spirit World!

“Bi…Bi…gr…”

The head the headless spirit was holding emitted a voice, as if it hadn’t spoken for a long time, coming out stuttered.

Its soulless eyes gleamed with a light, allowing Su Lu to perceive an image:

A cold ground, a blood-stained guillotine, a snow-capped mountain in the distance, guards and crowds up close…

There was a middle-aged man’s voice echoing in his ear:

“In the name of the Duke of Wolf Fort, protector of the Snow People, family head of the Metis clan, the lord of the North Territory Knights, the Snow of the Severe Winter, the Heartbreaker… Leonard Metis, I sentence you… to death!”

The next moment, terrifying pain radiated from his neck.

“Hmm…”

Su Lu pulled back his intuition and incidentally touched his own neck.

The sensation of being beheaded felt very real, akin to backlash from peering into the memory of a spirit.

A slightly weaker spirit summoner might have lost their way and sunk into the abyss due to the pain, but it was just a trifle for him.

“Wait… I understand! I understand their language!”

Reflecting on the scene he had just witnessed, Su Lu was carried away in surprise, “Although it seems like a world akin to medieval Europe… but I understand their language… It is… the Gulam Language!”

The so-called oldest language of the Main World was actually used as a common language in this world!

This made Su Lu suspicious of some connection between the two worlds!

“It’s not because they are close, is it?”

Su Lu gave a wry laugh.

Whether there is the concept of ‘distance’ between two different worlds, even if that’s so, it was unaccountable.

“The good news is… communication should pose no problem.”

What was spoken by that high-ranking lord was indeed the Gulam Language, at most with a bit of an accent, which wasn’t a big issue.

He packed up his belongings, looked towards a mound on one side, and waved his hand: “Goodbye!”

Under the brilliant sunlight, yesterday’s Ice Plain Wolf was sitting there, as if bidding him farewell. Its fur was reflecting dazzling light as if an armor of gold had been donned upon it.

“According to the nearby spirits… the nearest human gathering point should be in the south!”

Su Lu made a sled for himself and tried sliding on the snow.

Having recovered his strength to the level of strength as a typical man at rank LV4 after a night’s rest,

With his third-class control, he quickly mastered the knack of it, holding onto tree branches in his hands, giving a light push on the ground, gliding far away on the snow.

As he kept moving southward, the cold temperature seemed to rise a bit.

Several days later.

Su Lu found some traces of human activity and his spirits lifted.

He obtained a more precise route by questioning the nearby spirits, heading for a human habitation site at breakneck speed.

“My previous guess was not wrong, the productivity here is very low, roughly equivalent to that of medieval Europe… but those with supernatural powers?”

Su Lu unhooked his sledge and walked past a wheat field.

Both sides were cultivated farmlands, growing crops similar to barley, wheat, and oats. Apart from these, there were large areas of onions and cabbages.

The farmers working in the fields were all unkempt, but they wore thick clothes made of animal skins.

A few more steps and there was a village.

Beholding a sight composed of low houses encircling hills, stacked up like lego blocks, up to the top of the hill.

Around the village was a fence made from pointed rounds of wood and rocks. There was a patrol of a militia-like squad.

“Halt! Who are you?”

At the entrance of the village, Su Lu was inevitably stopped.

He watched the approaching peasants’ troop. Most of them were skinny and ragged. Only the captain had a leather armor on. The weapons like forks and swords rusted a little in their hands.

However, they were indeed speaking the Gulam Language!

“A wanderer!”

Su Lu smiled and answered in the Gulam language: “I hope to rest in the village, and I am willing to pay for this!”

Thanks to the Federation still passing the gold currency, he had a stash of Golden Dragons and Silver hawks in his Greedy Gloves. He only needed to scrape off the surface engraving and letters, and it can be directly used.

“A stranger with strange clothes!”

The captain scrutinized Su Lu carefully: “Where are you from?”

He was cautious, and his limbs were muscular, especially his right arm and gait, keeping a unique rhythm, very suitable for the sword he carried.

“A distant place, you may not know of it.”

Su Lu threw a polished silver coin.

It’s not that he couldn’t take out a Golden Dragon, but this would undoubtedly lead to greed and coveting.

He didn’t want to instigate a massacre in this village.

“It’s pure silver!”

One of the peasants caught it, rubbed it a few times, and his eyes glimmered with joy.

“…Alright!”

Seeing his subordinate’s expression, the captain reluctantly agreed: “Stranger, you may have a room, as well as hot water, bread, and salt… leave immediately after one night! Don’t stir up trouble!”

“Rest assured!”

Su Lu granted a bright smile, revealing his gleaming teeth.

This took the captain by surprise again.

Among the lower classes, having a mouth full of rotten, yellow-black teeth was the norm.

This temperament and appearance, he had only seen among the nobles of Wolf Fort.

In this world, nobles were absolute rulers, even if they were members of the sidelong branches and descendants of the noble family, they would receive respect.

“Follow me!”

His face soften a bit, leading the way: “This is Ward Village, under the noble Duke of Wolf Fort, and I am the local militia captain– Alick!”

“Su Lu! You can call me Su Lu!”

He introduced himself politely then suddenly halted.

He saw a small altar!

It stood apart from the surrounding buildings, yet appeared very solemn.

A group of people was surround it, as if praying.

Most important of all, those rules and symbols, as well as their prayers, were all familiar to him!
