Deal

"The Dragon City, which was said to be invincible, was ultimately breached by force!"

Dusk fell, and the setting sun shone like blood.

The fighting inside the city continues, while the breach outside has become a bloody swamp.

When Sulu, Ull, and Lady Rose arrived and saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Human wars are truly meaningless, wasting so much manpower and resources. If those resources were put into research on witchcraft... I wonder how much we could have achieved."

Lady Rose sighed.

Sulu rolled her eyes at her. "Or maybe they've researched something even more dangerous that will destroy the world."

Ull sniffed the air, staring at the large crater at the city gate. "This is... a magical exploding crystal? I once saw a study by the Black Ring School; they created a mixture that explodes violently when ignited. It seems... they buried quite a few beneath the city gate, and combined with magic, finally blasted a section of the city wall open..."

"To tamper with the walls of Dragon City, only the royal family and the four dukes could pull off something like that."

Sulu sighed.

By this time, the evidence against the Duke of Black Castle was conclusive.

"It appears that the army from the Northern Wolf Castle has stormed Dragon City and is currently engaged in battle with the royal family and the West Territory forces?"

Lady Rose and Ull exchanged a glance. "The southern army didn't participate, so what should we do next?"

"Do as you please, I'm going to rescue someone and complete this mission while I'm at it!"

Sulu smiled, and his figure vanished in a few flashes.

Royal Palace.

With the ' Last Refuge ' failing, the wolf-like northern army poured into the magnificent palace.

By the standards of the army of that era, they unsurprisingly brought about a disaster: looting, massacres, and the deaths of some beautiful palace maids and even nannies.

The Throne Hall.

Queen Mother Fura Drake, dressed in her finest attire, holds her daughter Messiah and quietly awaits her fate.

The roars and sounds of clashing weapons outside grew closer and closer.

It seemed that at any moment, the gate would burst open, and a group of vicious Snow People would rush in, drag the mother and daughter out, and hang them!

"Sheep can't beat a pack of wolves, no matter how many there are..."

Sulu emerged from the corner, sighing, "Moreover, the wolf pack also has aid from the south."

"It's you?"

When Fula saw Sulu, her face flushed with anger. "You liar! Coward! You have broken our sacred covenant!"

"I didn't intend to break the agreement, it's just that we didn't agree on a timeframe for fulfilling it, did we?"

Sulu smiled at Messiah.

"So, you've come here now to fulfill your promise?"

Fula took a deep breath.

"Yes, and I can take Messiah with me, after all, the child is innocent... all I need is a small, insignificant reward!"

"Take me, her, and my brother to the West Territory, and you'll get everything you want!" Fula said hastily.

"I'm sorry... my abilities are limited."

Sulu shrugged. "There's only one. Please decide quickly, because time is running out."

At this moment, shouts of killing reached outside the door, and even the sound of banging on the door could be heard.

Cheers erupted, causing Fula's face to turn pale:

"Fenwick ..."

The enemy has reached the Throne Hall, meaning the palace has completely fallen, and this elder brother is likely either dead or captured.

"Alright... take Messiah with you."

Fula's expression turned forlorn. "What do you want? Anything I have, I can give you."

"Dragon Crystal, and the legacy of Dragon I."

Sulu put forward his conditions.

"The Dragon Crystal are gone, and the legacy of Dragon I is also incomplete... Take it if you want!"

Fula answered, her face pale.

"Then, the deal is done."

"No... Mother."

With tears streaming down his face, Messiah pleaded, "Teacher... please, take my mother with you!"

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. It was Fula who did it. "The legacy of Dragon I consists of five crystals of various colors, but the original red crystal is lost! They are stored underground in the royal treasury, the path is... Take her away, now!"

"As you wish!"

Sulu, carrying Messiah, vanished in a flash.

At the same time, the doors to the Throne Hall were smashed open.

Fula stubbornly stood up and walked over as if a queen were inspecting her subjects.

"As expected... Blinking with someone is a completely different concept from going alone!"

The treasure vault, located in a secret underground chamber.

Sulu's figure appeared, with the unconscious Messiah beside him. "To preserve such a small person in a dimension requires a great deal of my energy and Inspiration... If I hadn't advanced to [Dream Master] and undergone a qualitative change in my spirit, I might not have been able to achieve such precise manipulation."

He glanced around; the walls were painted with vibrant oil paintings depicting the achievements of Dragon I and other famous kings.

This secret chamber is located beneath the treasure vault, making it very secluded, and it contains truly exquisite items.

Gold and silver coins are an insult here.

Crystals, diamonds, agate... the light of various treasures shone brightly, but unfortunately, there was no Dragon Crystal that Sulu wanted most.

His Inspiration struck, and he found an iron box. Upon opening it, he discovered five grooves inside, revealing a row of orange, green, blue, and black crystals.

The very first groove was completely blank.

"A legacy, yet lacking the very first-tier profession? No wonder the royal family itself has no strong figures... Of course, this might be the situation other forces want to see; perhaps they are involved, with the Black Ring School being the most suspicious..."

Sulu touched the orange crystal with his finger, and as soon as Inspiration struck, a stream of information appeared:

[Ding! Second-tier job information detected - Wolf Shepherd! Requires a first-tier prerequisite job: Herder... Insufficient qualifications, unable to take the job!]

"[Wolf Shepherd], [Beast Herder], [Beast Master], [Dragon Shepherd]?"

Sulu scanned them one by one, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Adding the [Herder] I obtained from the Shadow Council, it's a complete fifth-tier inheritance... Although it's notoriously useless in the Main World, it seems to have great potential in this world..."

With his Greed Glove, he opened an invisible portal to the void, taking in everything that caught his eye, grabbing Messiah, and then vanishing again.

"Whoa whoa!"

"Whoa whoa!"

The battle within the palace was nearing its end. As the last West Territory banner was felled and the new Wolf Banner was raised, the entire Northern Army erupted in cheers, the shouts growing louder and louder.

Sulu left the Royal Court, casually found an empty house to hide Messiah, and then looked towards the palace. "The time... has come!"
