Chapter 351 - 0351: Departure (Extra Update Request for Monthly Tickets)
Those who saw this scene all opened their mouths wide, their expressions filled with disbelief.
In the palace, the scholars took out parchment and feathered pen, shakily recording this scene.
And even more painters and wandering poets took this as their main theme, creating countless magnificent works about the Giant Dragon and the ‘Dragon Slayer’.
“Sorry, I’ve troubled you.”
The Black Knight in the sky blinked, appearing beside Messiah, his black robe and flames converging to reveal Su Lu’s true form, he said with a hint of apology, “I’ll need your help with the finishing touches… I only need its dragon crystal and the marvel, all other materials are yours.”
“Rest assured, teacher.”
Messiah’s expression was somewhat odd, but he still agreed.
“Very good.”
Su Lu’s figure shimmered and disappeared again with the help of Spirit World Traversal.
When he reappeared, he was back in the Dragon’s Tomb.
“Dragon the First’s treasure?”
With no enemies left, his Inspiration spread, inch by inch over the ground, and immediately he found something.
Boom!
The stone pyramid opened, revealing a verdant green color.
“This is… Life Crystal?”
Su Lu picked up a item that looked like a glowing jade, an enlightened expression appearing on his face: “So that’s how it is…”
He was beginning to understand.
Dragon the First had stolen some of the power from the Death God Ruins or items, transforming into an undead creature, but this process wasn’t perfect, so its weaknesses were very prominent.
It knew this as well, so for its own resurrection and to make up for its deficiencies, it had accumulated enough funds!
The Life Crystals here were the largest portion!
“So many Life Crystals, enough to perform a very dangerous ritual described in the Death God Scriptures… Maybe it could help him breakthrough the [Undead] rank in one fell swoop. By then, from death to rebirth, all weaknesses will be eliminated, it won’t be influenced by Lady Moon, cleanly and completely reascending to the rank of legend…”
“What a pity, now everything is mine.”
Su Lu smiled faintly.
The history of this world has a characteristic, it doesn’t use the AD era, often a monarch’s ascension to the throne is used as the era, similar to the ancient emperor’s reign.
However, in times of great events, the ‘era’ would also change.
For instance this time, when the Black Dragon fell in Dragon City, after Messiah agreed, this year was named ‘Year of the Black Dragon’s Fall’.
In a blink of an eye, a large chunk of time passed by swiftly.
Second year of the Black Dragon’s Fall.
In the palace.
“Teacher, are you leaving? Where to?”
Messiah looked at Su Lu who seemed a little off at the moment.
“To… another world.”
Su Lu smiled, telling the truth.
After the previous battle with Dragon, his consumption greatly increased, the time he could stay in this world was cut by half.
Taking advantage of the remaining time, he explored the ruins across the entire continent, gaining a wealth of knowledge and marvels.
Today, marked his limit.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would fall into sleep due to excessive consumption, or even die of Source exhaustion!
“Teacher… Are you going to die? Wuu…”
Messiah’s eyes reddened.
“Cough cough…”
Su Lu coughed: “At least you’re a queen now, compose yourself a bit. I’m not going to die, just going to a very distant place…”
He rolled his eyes secretly, with the concentration of Spirit Tide in the Main World and his current professional rank, there’s a chance that even if Messiah dies of old age, he won’t yet have reached his end.
“However… I have a gift for you!”
After a thought, he took out a gift box. Upon opening it, there was an object that looked like an ostrich egg inside, but its surface was covered with a layer of stone.
“Is this… a dragon egg?” Messiah, who was born in the palace and had already been promoted to [Wolf Shepherd], recognized it immediately.
“Yes, this is a petrified dragon egg, something I came across in a relic!”
Su Lu chuckled: “Ordinarily… all dragon eggs should be unable to withstand the low tide of Spirit Tide and perish, but this dragon egg turned a curse into a blessing. Because of the petrification curse, it became extremely weak, but eerily retained a spark of life… perhaps, when you reach the fourth level, you can try to nurture it. If successful, you’ll understand its significance.”
The reason he didn’t take it with him was that the dragon egg was considered a ‘living creature’ and couldn’t be stored in the Greedy Gloves. This was also why he found the dragon egg to be extraordinary in the relic.
Carrying the dragon egg while wandering the Realm of All Spirits?
This little thing would certainly be ruined. Moreover, even if he could take it to the Main World, it was likely the giant dragons of this world would not adapt well, so he didn’t mind gifting it away since the egg didn’t carry great value anyway.
The fourth level of [Shepherd] is [Beast Master], proficient in nurturing Transcendent species. Perhaps he could help the hatchling inside the dragon egg emerge, which would serve as Messiah’s greatest advantage in advancing to the fifth level!
“Thank… thank you!”
Messiah accepted the dragon egg, wiping away her tears.
“Well then, goodbye!”
Su Lu’s figure gradually disappeared.
Before he came here, he had already bid farewell to Ham, Silver Eye and other Arrogant Wizards. This place was his last stop.
“Master!”
Looking at his disappearing figure, Messiah could not help but shed the tears she had been holding back.
Just at that moment, with the touch of a second-level occupational person, she couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
In the twilight, in the direction to the north, a star like Venus was flickering with a unique and dazzling light.
The Daystar appeared!
Although this phenomenon soon disappeared, Messiah looked at her own hands, feeling as if something was different.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
At this moment, from within the petrified dragon egg, a strong and powerful pulsation seemed to resonate!
Violet Territory.
“The Master… has left this world?”
Ham, dressed in viscount attire, looked at the few marvels on the table, his facial expression filled with sorrow.
Previously, Su Lu had visited him once, explaining his departure, and giving him quite a few marvels and secret techniques, including the inheritance of the Black Ring from the Black Ring School!
With his current strength as a second-level chanter, coupled with these marvels, he could even contend with third-level professionals, escalate from a fourth-level subordinate, and maintain this territory sufficiently.
Su Lu, taking advantage of the Twilight of the Gods, had explored all the discovered ruins on this land, gaining quite a few treasures. He himself was of legendary rank, and he casually gifted some of the items he didn’t consider valuable.
“According to some secret records, beyond the space we’re in, there are even more expansive worlds…”
The figure of Silver Eye appeared: “The Master has gone to pursue a higher path, and all we can do is to carry forward the Arrogant School he handed down…”
The two of them were respectively the successors of Su Lu’s nobility and school, and their relationship was a bit subtle at this moment.
Just at this moment, a palpitation suddenly spread throughout their bodies.
They looked at each other in astonishment, towards the direction where Daystar had appeared, feeling as if some extremely crazy and terrifying mumblings were resonating in their ears!
“This is…”
Silver Eye’s face changed drastically: “The side effect of the Language of Arrogance… has intensified!”
