“In this world, there are too many unknowns and terrors that we cannot comprehend… They are collectively referred to as ‘peculiarities,’ and their appearance invariably marks a disaster…”

Knight Mas took a hearty swig of sherry, his eyes swimming with alcohol, said: “I once had the honor of dealing with such a ‘peculiarity.’ It was an evil tree growing in the midst of a village… It drained all the villagers of their blood and enslaved them… Luckily it was immobile and fearful of fire…”

“And the ice ghost is a terrifying creature capable of manipulating cold and blizzards. I suspect it had something to do with several heavy snowstorms in the North Territory… Trolls like to hide in dark environments, ever ready to attack humans…”

“Of course… what is even more terrifying are the horrors that cannot be understood!” Knight Mas’s voice was quivering: “Like a group of cult followers who, during their rituals, gouged out all their eyes… They would fall into a state of madness and frenzy, incessantly describing to those around them an unspeakable being… And anyone who heard their complete description would also fall into madness…”

“Thankfully, the Duke ordered the execution of all the ‘Eyeless,’ which finally suppressed the situation.”

Su Lu delicately coaxed details out of Knight Mas, listening to him recount horrifying peculiarities, and thus gaining a deeper understanding of this world.

‘Some transcendent beings… or strange godlike entities as the objects of worship?’

‘This world is not as peaceful as it seems… even in its twilight era!’

“Hmm?”

Just then, a cold wind blew.

Unusually, Mas shivered and wondered to himself: ‘Why… Why am I spouting so much to a stranger?’

“I shall not bother you any longer, have a good rest.”

Su Lu sighed inwardly, having understood that the spell of this world could only maintain the previous situation for a limited time, and returned to his seat.

Several days later.

A colossal city or perhaps fort, rose over the horizon.

It seemed to be built up from a massive castle, featuring tall city walls and a moat. The outer city was populated by ordinary folk, while at its core lay a massive stronghold.

On the city walls, banners bearing the mark of a wolf fluttered.

This was THE Wolf Fort!

The governing hub of the North Territory’s Duke of Wolf Fort— the Mitis family, housed tens of thousands of residents year-round, and was one of the largest cities in the entire continent!

“Thank the Mother Earth Goddess, we’ve finally arrived!”

Looking at the walls of Wolf Fort, Mas couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Usually, he would feel no pressure at all, but with Su Lu there, the stress was simply too much for him.

“If you would excuse me, I must take my leave now!”

Su Lu bowed, performing a customary knight’s salute, and smiled.

“The knight of the Pottery family, Su Lu, won’t you come with me to Wolf Fort? I will sincerely express your help to my brother… He will reward you satisfyingly!”

Maybe… even a plot of land could come into the picture!

Madame Monfali opened the carriage door, curiously asking.

In her eyes, the opposing party was merely a very skilled wandering knight, who knew how to seize opportunities and escorted her and her daughter here.

Why did he choose to leave the moment the fruits of victory were within reach?

“Farewell to the beautiful lady and young miss, I look forward to our reunion.”

Su Lu laughed heartily.

What’s the honor of a knight’s manor or a nobleman to him? It was practically nothing!

Let alone accepting to be the fief of a nobleman and bear the obligatory duties.

He immediately left the group on his horse, becoming a dot on the horizon.

“Why… did he just leave like that?”

Linna found it very strange as well: “Doesn’t he want the rewards? What a strange guy!”

“Maybe… he wants more…”

Madame Monfali murmured, immediately looking at Mas: “Sir Knight, please escort us into the city. I can’t wait to see my cousin.”

Furthermore, I must sternly complain about the security situation in the North Territory, at least launch a purge against the Mountain Tribe, let them know, a mother wolf must avenge her grievances!

The actual Wolf Fort refers to the core area of the city where the Mitis family residences are located.

The walls there are all constructed from granite, the defense is unmatched and it can be passed down through generations, even up to ten or more.

Antiquity!

This is what the nobles are most proud of.

Su Lu couldn’t be bothered to get involved with a bunch of scheming people. He directly found an inn, tossed a few silver coins, successfully dazzling the inn owner’s eyes, who would be more than willing to push his freckled daughter into Su Lu’s room.

“I want the best room, the best food, and… help me gather all the books you can find, preferably on history.”

Su Lu picked up another purse, making the numerous metallic coins inside clink.

“No problem! Sir… by tonight, you will have everything you asked for.”

Glimpsing a hint of gold, the innkeeper flashed his yellow teeth, saying in an almost flattering tone.

“Good, I enjoy peace and quiet, no need to disturb me before dinner.”

Upon arriving at the best room in the inn, essentially a room with a wooden bed and a table and chair, Su Lu sighed, sat cross-legged on the bed: “After these days, my Strong attribute LV4 has fully recovered…”

“Next, I should consider how to progress.”

Lacking sufficient experience points, he couldn’t take on any fourth-rank profession, let alone the hurdle of Constitution!

“Should I try to collect the ingredients for ‘Klaig’s Flesh’ in this world? It seems like a slim chance. As for altering the formula, looking for substitutes? With my Magic Potion Study level, I might as well sleep…”

“Now that I can’t achieve either of the two fourth-rank positions, I should think about how to increase my combat power.”

In this world, the Spirit Tide was at a low ebb, physical abilities seemed to be more practical.

Su Lu’s gaze instantly fixated on the passive skill [Agile Steps LV1].

This was a basic skill of the [Wanderer] profession and also a prerequisite for advancing to [Dimensional Walker]!

[Dimensional Walker: Job requirements Third-stage Precondition profession: Shadow Warrior, Agility 6.0, Constitution 5.0! Agile Steps LV4!]

He thought for a moment, and 100 experience points were instantly consumed:

[Consumed 100 experience points… Agile Steps level has risen to LV2!]

[Consumed 200 experience points… Agile Steps level has risen to LV3!]

[Insufficient experience! Cannot level up!]

“I still need 50 experience points…”

Su Lu moistened his lips: “But for now, my abilities to hide in shadows and move swiftly have improved…”

He suspected that he could now play around well even if he had only a thin line beneath his feet!

Even, he had a feeling of being able to ‘walk on air’!

As though the void was not just emptiness, but could become a stepping stone for him to tread and gain momentum from!

Of course, it was merely an illusion!
