216. Rory City

Sulu examined himself and found that although his injuries were quite serious, his strength was no less than that of any third-tier expert, based solely on his skills and passive abilities.

'More importantly, the knowledge I gained in this Dream of the Ancient God has caused my occult knowledge to skyrocket... almost enough to impersonate a [Mystic Master]...'

[The Mystic Master] is proficient in various rituals and esoteric knowledge, and can solve problems with minimal effort and the most suitable solutions.

This is a testament to the power of knowledge!

For example, yesterday, Isaac and his group's actions were actually enough to appease ordinary Wraith, if Harlock hadn't taken away their secret treasure.

Sulu felt that he could do that too.

As he pondered, the six men left the wilderness and arrived at a small town. They hired a public carriage, went to a nearby train station, and then transferred to a steam train, returning to Lori City.

Along the way, Elizabeth and Diana were very curious about Sulu, and their enthusiasm made James and John's jealousy written all over their faces.

Sulu, however, always maintained a poker face, remaining single by choice.

Lori City, steam train station.

"Alright, let's part ways here. Thank you for your help!"

Sulu sincerely thanked Isaac and the others, after all, they had paid for his steam train ticket.

"It's nothing... We're at the Grammar University, come visit us sometime!"

Elizabeth and Diana immediately said.

Watching Sulu's figure disappear into the crowd, Isaac hugged Harlock and, for some reason, felt a sense of relief.

He had always been afraid that Sulu, this mysterious person who possessed mysterious powers, would covet his beloved Erha.

In fact, Sulu was indeed somewhat interested in Harlock, after all, he was a supernatural being.

But he hasn't stooped so low as to repay kindness with enmity.

"Alright, let's go back too!"

Seeing their formidable rival disappear, both James and John breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, their eyes widened in shock as they witnessed a scene that left them speechless:

Harlock seemed to have been cooped up on the train for too long; he found a concrete pillar and kicked out with his right leg.

--It's nothing serious; at most, you'll be stopped by the cleaning staff and have to pay a fine.

But Isaac's expression suddenly froze, and he actually imitated Harlock, raising one leg as well.

"No..."

"Goddess..."

The next instant, gasps from the ladies, and screams rose and fell in quick succession.

James and John lowered their heads in shame, grabbed Isaac, and together with two other ladies whose faces were also as red as apples, they rushed out of the train station amidst the hysterical shouts of the cleaning staff, disappearing into the crowd.

Harlock ran behind them, looking cheerful and wagging his tail from time to time.

The Lori City felt somewhat familiar to Sulu.

Walking down the street, the clothing styles of the men and women looked strangely familiar to him.

"Hmm... a white shirt and jeans for men, and a dress and a colorful hat for women... that must be the rumored West Coast style..."

"What I need to do now is first establish an identity, then rent an apartment and slowly recuperate... Perhaps, I can also make contact with the local circle of extraordinary individuals, buy some materials to concoct potions... Hmm, and also, find a spatial item..."

This time, apart from his most important personal belongings, he lost almost all of his other valuables, leaving him in a rather embarrassing situation. This is a lesson he must learn from.

"If all else fails... I'll make one myself, but that requires materials—materials imbued with mysterious power, materials with spatial properties..."

"This is a rare opportunity; it can only be considered a long-term mission..."

"But securing an identity, renting an apartment, and purchasing extraordinary materials all require money! Hmm... I also promised to repay Isaac and the others..."

As Sulu passed by a luxurious restaurant, he saw impeccably dressed gentlemen and ladies inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He was somewhat tempted, but then shook his head. "No... no, now is not the time to use my Psychic Thaumaturgy... Besides, not every place has a fat sheep Billy!"

Billy was originally appointed by his family to go to Nia City to oversee the merger and acquisition.

The local relationships are simple, so it's possible to forcefully insert a falsified memory. As long as everyone around is confused, there won't be any problems.

However, in an unfamiliar city, the relationships within high society are fixed!

The arrival of a stranger is as obvious as prey caught in a spider's web!

Because too many people are familiar with the target, and the memories implanted by Sulu cannot be comprehensive, it is highly likely that flaws will be discovered, arousing suspicion and danger.

"Furthermore... I can't be sure if these wealthy individuals have professional bodyguards... If they do, my current condition is unsuitable for fighting or escaping..."

"Perhaps... it's time to go back to what I used to do."

Sulu plans to use his knowledge of mysticism to earn some hard-earned money, while also using it to get closer to the local circle of supernatural beings.

He's starting to feel a little regretful.

Isaac and his family seem to be well-off; perhaps I should accept their invitation and stay with them for a while?

"However, it seems like there's been no peace around me ever since I acquired the Attribute Panel and became a professional. I'd better not cause them any trouble..."

Sulu sighed.

He felt that he was becoming increasingly distant from the circles of ordinary people.

Even a chance encounter could cause trouble for the other party.

Just then, he frowned, sensing that he was being watched.

Before he reached a shop, he saw the two men who had been following him, thanks to the reflection in the glass.

They were all burly men in their thirties or forties, dressed in rags, with fierce expressions.

'Thieves? Targeting outsiders?'

Sulu chuckled softly, "Indeed... my previous behavior was like that of a lost lamb; in their eyes, I was the perfect prey, wasn't I?"

He reached into his empty pockets and walked toward a rather secluded street.

Sensing the sudden increase in speed of the two burly men behind him, he realized they were moving much faster.

Sulu pretended to be in a panic and ran away recklessly, ending up in a dead end.

It was a street that ended in a wall, and it was deserted with no one else around.

He turned around and saw the two burly men from before grinning menacingly as they approached. "Kid... you can't escape, hand over your wallet!"

"I should be the one saying that!"

Sulu looked at his fist and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The next moment.

A terrifying roar suddenly echoed through the alley.

Words of Arrogance!

It was like two axes, cleaving open the head of the big man opposite, and then inserting various red-hot iron pieces inside.

In less than three seconds, the two burly men were clutching their heads, rolling on the ground screaming in agony, their faces contorted to the extreme.
