Sudden Upheaval
"Hiss..."
Sulu gasped, "Although I knew that the fourth and fifth ranks were a huge hurdle in the professional path, I never imagined they would be this... terrifying!"
Leaving aside the two prerequisite professions for the fourth tier, the Ancient Serpent Society has been stuck because it lacks or is completely unaware of the prerequisite for [Dimensional Walker], and can only take the path of [Mystic Master].
Reaching 10.0 in all four basic attributes is a very demanding requirement, since professionals usually focus on one or two attributes at most and rarely allocate their improvement evenly.
"And there's also Soul Projection Level 8! Advancing to Level 6 already consumed 2400 points, and with a doubling calculation, that would require another 14400 experience points? Add to that the 10000 points needed to advance to the fifth tier, and that's close to 25,000 experience points required?"
Although he had long suspected that advancing to the fifth-tier legendary level would require an enormous amount of experience, Sulu was still taken aback.
Of course, from the perspective of other professionals, the 'soul transformation ritual' is perhaps the greatest difficulty.
It requires the advancer to first find a Curio imbued with the aura of another world. Such an object is very difficult to obtain, or rather, its appearance is often associated with a god-like being.
If one were to pay the price of being watched by a great being in order to obtain Curio, the outcome would be worse than death.
Furthermore, obtaining the otherworldly Curio is not the key point!
The truly dangerous part is the soul-transforming ritual, which requires merging the aura of another world with one's own soul!
Because the [Planeswalker] is a profession that allows people to travel the world, it cannot be restricted to a single world.
However, this step is often very dangerous. When a soul from the native world encounters the aura of another world, the outcome is usually not good, and a strong rejection reaction will occur! Even with the assistance of rituals, the effect is not good.
Once the soul is damaged, death is a possibility!
However, for Sulu, he had already met the requirements, because his soul was originally filled with the aura of another world, and through his long life and study at St. George University, he had completed the localization process!
He had already crossed this insurmountable barrier for the [Planeswalker].
"To improve strength and physique, one could try the Dragon Blood Baptism; there are definitely more than three Great Dragon in this world..."
"And experience points..."
Sulu felt like he was going to vomit blood. "Dragon Crystal might be able to make up for part of it, but there will still be a shortfall... We'll just have to figure out a way to deal with that later..."
He is definitely going to advance to [Planeswalker] and leave this Twilight World.
As for experience points?
He cultivated Arrogant School and recklessly provoked a large number of enemies, all in preparation for reaping the rewards!
Dragon City.
The entire city was under martial law, with densely packed troops standing on the city walls, confronting the Northern Territory army encamped not far away.
Inside the city, in the Throne Hall.
"By the grace of the Mother Goddess, I hereby declare... Messiah is the rightful heir to the Dragon Kingdom. She will be the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom and all its fiefdoms! Protector of the faith! Queen of the Snow People, the Sea People, and the Royal Territory Subjects!"
The Pope of the Mother Earth Church thus declared, placing a small crown on the head of the bewildered Messiah.
"While the princess is still a minor, the Queen Mother serve as regent, overseeing all matters."
Fula Drake, dressed in her finest attire, conducted the ceremony with dignified composure.
Once everything was finished and the nobles had left, a look of weariness appeared on her face.
"My sister, you're really something!"
A man clad in golden armor, with golden curly hair and a figure as perfect as a golden statue, approached her, holding a helmet. "Kingslayer, Empress Dowager, Regent... perhaps you should add another title to your name? As the patriarch of the clan, I must tell you, you have brought disaster upon the clan, a great disaster!"
"It wasn't me!"
Fula glanced at the trembling Messiah beside her, her face flushed with anger. "Although I hate that old geezer and those two bastards with filthy blood, and wish they were dead! I didn't poison them. I only intended to poison Gran..."
Recalling the previous scene, the regent Queen Mother felt as if she had just had a nightmare.
She was vehemently opposed to Messiah marrying Gran, the son of the Duke of Wolf Castle.
But when Sulu stood her up, the queen had no better options and had to take a desperate gamble, preparing to poison Gran at the banquet!
With someone's guarantee, and the arrival of the supposedly most poisonous ' Tears of Death ', everything should have been perfect.
But... an unexpected event occurred.
The wine glass containing the poison did not kill Gran; on the contrary... King Philetrin III and his two princes were poisoned one after another and died in the hall!
The direct consequence of this action was chaos in the Royal Capital.
Fula declared Gran the ' Kingslayer ' and ordered him to be hunted down.
But Gran somehow managed to escape from the heavily guarded Royal Capital and successfully return to the Northern Territory, claiming that Fula had poisoned her husband and the prince, and using this as a pretext to persuade the Duke to raise an army.
Although Fula had taken control of the Royal Capital, she was still intimidated by the Northern Territory army and had no choice but to seek help from her family.
The Drake Family's army entered the Royal Capital before the Northern Territory army arrived, leading to the current stalemate.
"Regardless of whether you are or not, based on the results, you are highly suspicious!"
The blond man said helplessly, "This all seems like a conspiracy. Perhaps I underestimated the Duke of Wolf Castle? Or his son? Or perhaps someone else? You definitely have a spy by your side, that Nameless One!"
"Apart from him, Edward can still be trusted for the time being, but Eric has also disappeared... He has definitely been bribed by someone!"
Fula gritted her teeth in hatred.
This chief Mage of the court enjoyed Philetrin III's deep trust and possessed the means to detect witchcraft. If it weren't for his betrayal, Philetrin III would never have been poisoned to death on the spot, and there wouldn't have been time to rescue him.
"But... we have a very good chance of winning now. We have the family army, Dragon City, the Royal Capital will never fall, and your niece is the sole heir to the throne! We also control a portion of the army that was originally loyal to the royal family... all of this combined means our military strength far surpasses that of any duke."
Fula scoffed, "As long as we defeat the Northern Territory army, this kingdom will be ours!"
The Duke of Black Castle in the south is weaker than both the West Territory and Northern Territory. As for the Grand Duke of the Archipelago in the East Sea, what can a group of sailors do once they're ashore?
"I have a bad feeling, a very bad feeling! The situation may not develop as we wish!"
The blond man looked at Fula: "But since you're my sister, I swear in the name of Fenwick, I will protect you both."
