Chapter 360 - 0360: Joining (seeking monthly tickets with third update)
Su Lu rubbed his brows, feeling as though he still had quite a bit to deal with.
The key point was, before he entered this world, he had voluntarily blocked his soul contract with Beryl.
Now that he’s ascended to the fifth level, as long as Beryl has not reached legend status, he can suppress and even control everything about her up close!
Of course, he had to keep this hidden as a trump card, to catch her off guard!
“The initial mistake… It’s finally time to fix it.”
“Then there’s Sean… I know all of his occupations up to the fourth level, and his fifth level is [Necromancer King], and the sixth-level is the [Emperor of Disaster], I wonder if his absurd ill fate has something to do with the [Emperor of Disaster]? It seems very fitting…”
The next day, Su Lu visited the Inner Circle again.
This time, Dunstan and Celsus seemed more enthusiastic and agreed to his ‘borrow’ request for the White Tower’s collection without much hesitation.
Of course, in return, Su Lu accepted the invitation and became an ‘Honorary Council Member’ of the Green Tree Council.
The Green Tree Council is the highest authority of the Green Tree Castle, with council seats occupied by occupational persons holding at least a master’s level in different fields, each one a senior scientist in their specialist areas.
As Su Lu doesn’t have a faction, he can only be an ‘Honorary Council Member’, and if he is to offer courses, he can only offer courses on Spirit World exploration and assassination.
However, apart from having no power, he receives the same treatment as the Council Members of the Green Tree Castle.
For example… the right to read most of the White Tower’s materials unconditionally.
At the same time, he had requested Dunstan to keep his information as confidential as possible.
After all, only the chief vice-chair and the sixth seat members, who are core members of the Inner Circle, know that he has ascended to the level of legend, so it’s convenient to maintain secrecy.
This is being prepared to catch people off-guard.
At the very least he doesn’t have to worry about Beryl, knowing he’s promoted to a legend, and hiding away out of fear.
White Tower, Sixth Floor.
The shelves are sparse and the room is silent, with only the occasional rustle sounds from the page turns.
“Legend-level information… is all very scarce and precious…”
“And… There are not many fifth level or above legacies truly mastered by Green Tree Castle, let alone the follow-ups of [Wandering Mage]… They don’t even have [Dream Master].”
“The logical follow-up of [Wandering Mage] is likely with Ancient Snake Society, but I once entered the memory of the ‘Mysterious Elder’ Bukadi and saw the legacy stone pillar, it seemed there was no sixth level…”
This is also normal, perhaps the path of [Spiritual Medium] only goes up to the fifth level, which is already much better than many other incomplete legacies.
“If that’s really the case, it is up to future generations to complete it… how easy would that be? Fortunately, I have the attribute bar… but think about it, ha ha…”
Su Lu reminisced about his past choices and was momentarily speechless.
“Let’s not talk about the huge flaws in [Demon Hunter], [Master of Misfortune] also has a sixth-level profession. These two choices were once in front of me, but I had to choose [Spiritual Medium] because of the circumstances…”
“Although that’s the case, I have no regrets, the abilities of [Wandering Mage] are all incredible…and ultimately, one must take responsibility for their own choices!”
After all, as a special job merger of two professions, the abilities of the [Wandering Mage] can be considered top-tier at the fifth level.
This is just like the special job the Green Tree Castle is researching – [Mechanical Master]. Even though it’s the fourth level, if the Mecha is powerful enough, it can exert power on par with the fifth level. In Su Lu’s experience, there has never been a second profession capable of doing this, showing how great special jobs are!
After reading books for an entire morning, Su Lu went downstairs feeling a bit fatigued.
He was wearing a badge indicating the highest authority in the Inner Circle, which was held by no more than ten people and naturally faced no obstacles.
At that moment he felt inspired and wanted to walk around and meticulously inspect what his familiar place had become.
Inside the White Tower, many members were either searching for information or quietly reading books, none of them paid any attention to him.
After all, those who can freely traverse within the Mystic Lock were their own people.
And if it was the sort that could completely ignore the Mystic Lock, their attention wouldn’t do any good either.
“The buildings… have all been restored, they look exactly like before.”
Upon leaving the White Tower, Su Lu looked at a sculpture by the road and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Huh? You are… Su Lu? Su Lu Pottery?”
A voice filled with surprise sounded.
He turned around and saw a chubby researcher who greeted him with a warm hug: “Long time no see!”
“Long time no see, Siegfried!”
Su Lu certainly knew him, a young genius of the steam power faction, a friend from the past, through whom he once conducted the ‘Cat’s Elegance’ magic potion formula transaction.
“You finally came back, were you busy with something outside? Or did you join other research?”
Siegfried was still the same, like a night owl and introvert, his complexion dull and dark circles under his eyes.
“No… I was just on a vacation for some time.”
Su Lu responded with a smile, adding in his heart: ‘I was on vacation in an alien world.’
“On the other hand…”
He glanced at the green leaf badge on Siegfried’s chest: “Congratulations on your promotion to Four Leaves!”
This speed was somewhat incredible, but the badge he owned had already changed to a gold leaf reserved for council members.
“Sigh…”
Siegfried sighed, ruffling his messy hair: “After the death of that big shot in our faction, there’s no new [Mechanical Master] born, the council members give us young students a lot of pressure… I feel my sleep is getting worse and worse.”
Su Lu was silent for a while.
The scenes of the [Mechanical Master] manipulating the Mecha in battle left a deep impression on him.
It was a pity that the [Mechanical Master] eventually died in battle, which caused a power change internally, yet also gave more opportunities to the younger generation.
Since most of the acquaintances were in the electrical research institute in the city area and escaped a catastrophe as a result, Su Lu only now felt a slight sense of the pain the Black Death Society and the Ancient Snake Society’s attack had brought to the Inner Circle of the Green Tree Castle.
“Keep going! You can do it.”
[Mechanical Master] needs to integrate two professional paths, consuming more than twice the energy and time of regular occupational persons.
And obviously Siegfried doesn’t have an attribute bar like him.
After thinking for a moment, Su Lu could only offer his blessings.
“I’m fine… You on the other hand, lighten up!”
Siegfried patted Su Lu’s shoulder: “I know Orchi, that bastard stole your research results with a disgraceful method… don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
“Well… let’s talk about that when you become a [Mechanical Master].”
Su Lu rolled his eyes.
