Meeting
After uttering that curse, Sulu immediately felt the surroundings become much quieter.
For several days in a row, they were no longer spied on from the north.
"It seems... the Duke of Wolf Castle are both intelligent men. I'm actually quite looking forward to them leading their army to attack..."
Sulu held a cup of black tea and blew on the white steam rising from it.
His current strength is no match for an army of 20,000. If he makes a rash decision to confront them head-on without knowing how to retreat, he could really die in battle!
However, while exceptional individual strength is important, knowing how to utilize it is equally crucial.
For example, directly employing decapitation tactics.
Or they could launch daily raids, killing hundreds today and hundreds more tomorrow. Before long, the entire army would inevitably suffer from low morale and even collapse.
This is Sulu's assessment of his own combat strength; outsiders are unaware of it.
"On this continent today, fourth-tier power is almost extinct. The open military strength of the dukes and royal families, and even the pinnacle of the Wizard school, is only around third-tier... Once a shameless fourth-tier individual appears, they can easily cause trouble..."
He had some doubts about the ' Wizard King ' Eamon.
This Duke of Black Castle, a fourth-tier Wizard, didn't even attend such an important event as the Wizard gathering. Perhaps he's here in the Royal Capital to plot a conspiracy!
Given the opponent's fourth-tier strength, coupled with some deceptive witchcraft, the various clumsy 'performances' in the Royal Capital some time ago can be explained in the most reasonable way.
"Even a third-tier Eamon can't do that, perhaps because of some Curio and protective powers passed down in the royal family, but it's different for a fourth-tier... In the Twilight Era, the fourth tier was the pinnacle. This duke may have ambitions to unify the continent and ascend to the throne."
It's a sad story.
After the fourth tier, the fifth tier is a dead end in this era; the only option is to shift focus to other areas.
Sulu is different!
The existence of the Attribute Panel, along with the previous job requirements, already indicates that as long as the requirements are met, he might be able to break through the shackles and become a fifth-tier professional in the twilight period!
Just then, his Inspiration was suddenly struck, and he looked towards the garden on one side.
There, a rose quietly bloomed, and on its pink petals appeared words as clear as ink. "Excuse my intrusion, Your Excellency, Arrogant Mentor, I am the Lady Rose of the Nature School."
"What is this? A messenger? A familiar?"
Sulu watched as the writing on the petals faded, then thought for a moment, asked Ham to bring him a quill pen, and wrote on it, "What do you want?"
"There's something we need to discuss, concerning the Black Ring School and that ' Wizard King.' Ull of the Mystic Eye is also nearby!"
The other side responded quickly.
"Time? Place?"
Sulu thought about it and did not refuse.
As for why the other party contacted him, that's easy to understand.
Because there are only three major schools of thought that possess high-level Wizard, and the Arrogant School even has two or more high-level Wizard, making it an absolutely formidable force!
"We've arrived nearby and hope to visit your estate."
A line of text appeared.
"Can!"
Sulu gave a reply, watching the rose wither rapidly, and said to Ham, who was standing beside him, "Prepare well, we need to entertain two guests."
Lady Rose and Ull arrived sooner than expected.
Just an hour after the conversation, two Wizard, slightly disguised, arrived at the door of Sulu's villa.
"Welcome, Ms. Rose and Mr. Ull!"
Sulu stood by the door, followed by Silver Eye and Ham.
"Your Arrogant Mentor, it is an honor to meet you."
Lady Rose smiled and said, "Your territory is very peaceful and safe, which is rare in this area... I believe that a future viscount or even earl would be more worthy of your honor."
It's quite normal for Wizard to have noble status on the surface, like the Duke of Black Castle in the south.
However, as the leader of a large school of thought and a high-ranking Wizard, the title of lord is somewhat inappropriate.
"This was just a pointless experiment..."
Sulu stepped aside and invited the two Wizard into the living room. Several pageboys dressed in tailcoats immediately brought over tea and snacks.
Most of them are orphans from Dragon City who were adopted by Ham. While being taught the ' Words of Arrogance ', they are also learning the Gulam Language and etiquette.
Now that they had received ample nutrition, they looked very energetic, with rosy complexions and much Sturdy bodies.
"Arrogant Rune?"
Ull glanced at the page's collar and saw the tattoo that appeared beneath. He exclaimed, "What a magnificent field of knowledge! It encompasses entirely new languages and runic literature. It's quite complete and mature. If I could, I would pay any price for it."
As Wizard, they all have a thirst for truth.
"This is exactly what I wanted to see, and I am very happy to do business with both of you."
Sulu's answer surprised the two Wizard: "As Arrogant Mentor, I am delighted to see the spread of Words of Arrogance... By the way, it doesn't require meditation and is highly compatible!"
"What?"
Both Ull and Lady Rose were startled.
This high-ranking Wizard seemed completely indifferent to something so clearly fundamental to his school of thought?
They paused for a moment before continuing, "Your heart is as vast as the ocean."
"Hehe... this is just a small matter. You two have come today for the Black Ring School?"
Sulu put down the white bone china teacup.
Upon hearing this question, Ull and Lady Rose straightened their posture and glanced at the people around them.
"Ham is my student, and there are no outsiders in this villa," Sulu said slowly.
"Alright then, the reason we joined forces to come to Dragon City this time is because we have obtained reliable intelligence... Eamon has indeed recently been promoted to ' Wizard King '! And this palace coup is deeply related to him."
Lady Rose took a deep breath.
"But what does all this have to do with us?"
Sulu asked, puzzled.
"That's because you don't know what kind of person Eamon is... He's a madman! Back then, the Black Mist Form was just a theory, but he dared to put it on himself and succeeded... He has a strong desire for control, Black Ring School is also very ambitious. If they were given enormous secular power, they would definitely set their sights on the Wizard world and swallow up all the schools!"
Ull was somewhat exasperated.
"With the power of four high-ranking Wizard, can we stop a ' Wizard King '?"
Sulu asked with a 'serious' expression.
We have to try!
Lady Rose said firmly, "Before he causes any greater disaster!"
Just then, all of them, the high-ranking Wizard, frowned and looked in the direction of Dragon City.
A faint tremor emanated from there.
"That is..."
Several people stood up simultaneously, their expressions grave. "Although it's very faint, how could it have traveled this far? I'm afraid..."
