Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 376: Invitation (Third update request for subscription)

Rod and Anfi settled smoothly in the Chris Empire.

After all, they were professionals who had undergone the Transcendent baptism and quickly learned the language.

Moreover, Su Lu used the power of the [Odd Technician] to help them fabricate their identities and become a merchant couple from the Old Continent, completely resolving their identity issue.

Soon, they settled down in a small town, opened a store, and started making cautious contacts with the local Transcendent circle.

In the Chris Empire, the majority of those with access to professional information were nobles.

Of course, over time, some of this information leaked to large merchants and adventurers, but they were all intricately connected to each other.

These circles were very exclusive, and earning trust took time.

The first snowfall of Federated Year 281 came early.

Inside the mansion, Bijie, as always, was wiping the floor and furniture, but her movements have become much more proficient and her eyes are filled with a more vibrant spirituality.

In the void, an invisible door was opened.

Su Lu, in his [Wandering Mage] form, stepped out from it. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he couldn’t conceal a smile, “Void Stone…I finally found it.”

In his hand, a green, weightless ore was emitting a faint glow.

It was semi-transparent, and seemed to contain undulating green flames within.

This was the Void Stone, a unique mineral of the Realm of All Spirits!

To the professionals of this world, it is a legendary material, which even Dunstan, thought was extremely rare.

However, for Su Lu, it was only a matter of taking some time and risk to gather.

“Now, there’s only one more material left to create the Seal Card… the Spirit Ink…” Su Lu sighed.

He couldn’t help but think of Rod, whose dinner he had eaten at his new home just yesterday.

Anfi, the girl, unexpectedly had great cooking skills, which was a surprise to him.

And Rod was living a very peaceful life there – very peaceful indeed.

The Chris Empire, a well-established aristocratic powerhouse, valued order and owned vast colonies. Its domestic prices were stable, almost to the point of being stagnant.

Of course, one could also say that it was the last rays of the setting sun or a building that was rotting inside but still shone brightly on the outside.

In short, such a powerful empire was capable of suppressing any disturbances within, even in the face of the Dawn of the Gods or the revival of the Spirit Tide, the emperor and parliament were more experienced in their responses than the Federation.

On the mystical side, being ancient often represents an underlying strength and power!

“Speaking of which, the only major loss the Chris Empire suffered was during the Sacred Wars three hundred years ago, when the still-colonial White Eagle Federation was established… Behind this, there was strong support from the Goddess Church. Therefore… while the Goddess Church is the mainstream belief in the Federation, it is somewhat suppressed in the Old Continent.”

This is why Su Lu sent Rod over to seek refuge; it’s hard for the power of the Goddess Church to extend over there.

Taking the box from Beryl, Su Lu carefully put away the Void Stone inside the Greedy Glove.

“My current plan is to create the Seal Card, search for and seal the Cursed Spirit, to enhance my own power…”

“Aside from that, there’s also the improvement of the [Wandering Mage]… and to find the path ahead.”

Upon entering the Legend, a brand new profession needs to be mastered, and reach the peak of the present level!

This step is very difficult.

But if you don’t reach the peak of your own level, you won’t even meet the most basic requirements for office!

After Legend status, it is impossible for promotion to occur several times a year.

“The advancement of the [Wandering Mage] lies in traversing many worlds, and to perfect the ‘Wandering Mage’s Heart’ based on the rules of different worlds!”

Su Lu mused, “Once my combat power climbs to the next level, I must immediately begin exploring the worlds.”

“Master, Mr. Dunstan has come to visit.” Beryl bowed and reported

“Oh?” Su Lu came to his senses, looked at the girl’s disguised face,”What do you think… it’s about?”

“I think, it should be about the upcoming gathering of Professionals at the Legendary level…” Beryl answered quietly.

“Well, go invite him in.”

Looking at the leaving Beryl, Su Lu pondered. After this period of ‘nurturing,’ Beryl’s movements were no longer awkward, or rather, a completely new character had been born like on a blank sheet – under his direct control, it was the personality of a servant.

“This is good, what I need is not a marionette, but I need a subordinate with a certain degree of autonomy, who can share part of my workload…”

“Since her character has formed and grown, the next step is to teach her how to skillfully control the power of the [Undead].”

[Undead]!

This is a Fourth Level Master Profession that has all the benefits of the undead without any of the drawbacks!

It can be said that the raw Bijie, who was a blank slate before, wasn’t able to fully use the power of the [Undead]. She could just about be qualified as a maid, but if she were forced into action, she might very well get cleaned up by a Third Level expert .

How could this be allowed?

Training is definitely still needed…

While he was lost in his thoughts, the robed Dunstan had already arrived: “Mr. Su Lu.”

“Mr. Dunstan.”

This old man had a twinkle of wisdom in his eyes. He too had stakes in the wireless telegram company and was one of their appointed professional managers.

The telegram that Anfi sent must have had a duplicate in Dunstan’s possession.

But this old man held back and didn’t say a word, appearing to just be silently observing how things developed.

However, of course, Su Lu would not directly keep Rod by his side because then wouldn’t Rod just be an available hostage?

Even though the Inner Circle would trust him more, but he didn’t trust himself!

What will happen if there is a conflict of interests, won’t he be grilling Rod over the fire? It’s better to send him off as soon as possible.

“Did the gathering you mentioned last time finally start?”

After exchanging some pleasantries, Su Lu got straight to the point.

“Yes.” Dunstan’s face filled with a larger smile, “Mr. Uveitan has already sent me an invitation, and the location is at a spot in the open sea off the East Coast.”

“At Sea?”

Su Lu quipped, “Are they afraid of outright battle?”

The range of a Fifth-Level Professional’s attack is too vast, easily causing collateral damage. Fighting at sea was the optimal choice.

“Ahem…”

Dunstan coughed a couple of times, “The honored gentlemen mainly value peace…but occasionally there are rivals, requiring a duel under public supervision…”

In reality, duels between Legends are quite rare.

Such duels merely determine victory or defeat and serve as a basis for their respective forces’ advances and retreats.

Even so, the aftermath can be more than what commoners can endure!
