Instruction

On the road in the West Territory.

Sulu and Messiah rode side by side on two horses.

Along the way, one could occasionally see anxious and flustered artisans and small merchants fleeing for their lives, as well as some excited Wandering Knight.

"Teacher... why are there wars in the world?"

Messiah, still dressed like a tomboy, looked at the scene with a rare look of bewilderment on his face.

Ouch!

But before she could finish her question, she was hit on the head.

"A foolish question! Wars happen because you're not strong enough! If you were like your ancestor, Dragon I, none of this would have happened!"

Sulu sneered.

"Power?"

The Messiah repeated the same phrase in bewilderment.

"That's right, you need power, not just the power you possess yourself, but also a sufficient army, sufficient knowledge, and sufficient political acumen... That's why I'm sending you to the West Territory."

Sulu smiled, "Your mother's relatives are no ordinary people, perfect for you to 'learn' from now on! And along the way, I will teach you some extraordinary skills, the legacy of Dragon I."

Besides indulging in his past life's perverse sense of humor, the most crucial reason for cultivating the Messiah was that it aligned with Sulu's interests!

On this continent, he didn't have any goals he absolutely had to achieve, except for collecting experience points.

However, ending the state of war on the mainland in a very short time would not be beneficial.

In an increasingly chaotic world, hidden ambitious individuals will continue to emerge, and perhaps even some hidden Tier 3 or Tier 4 professionals will be unearthed...

If one were to join the 'difficult' war of unification, how many enemies would one face? How much experience would one gain?

Clearly, the Messiah's side was at a significant disadvantage at this point.

My only goal is experience points!

'After this trip, perhaps we can explore some ancient ruins.'

This world still has the Dawn of Gods, and some powerful forces and strong individuals may leave behind hidden legacies.

That's not just about accumulating knowledge, but also likely about gaining experience!

After all, experience points aren't only obtained through killing.

night.

Sulu set up a makeshift tent camp and tethered the horse to a nearby tree stump.

Freshly picked wild vegetables simmer in a boiling iron pot, along with dried meat, creating a fragrant and hot soup. Paired with sweet and soft honey bread, it's the ultimate enjoyment for travelers.

During this time, Sulu focused on teaching Messiah.

"The extraordinary! The superhuman! The professional! Or rather, knights and Wizard... they all represent the same kind of people, humans who possess extraordinary power!"

Sulu sat on a stone stool, with Messiah listening attentively to the lesson beside him.

"The power I will teach you leans towards the Wizard way this world understands it... primarily about feeling nature, communicating with wild beasts, and ultimately commanding them... including some breeding techniques that can make your pets more ferocious, faster, or possess deadly poison... the ultimate goal is to breed or enslave extraordinary beings!"

Sulu briefly explained the [Herder] profession.

"At first... you may not be able to enslave extraordinary beings, but you can start with ordinary beings, like... it!"

He casually grabbed a black snake; its head was triangular and it was flicking its tongue, clearly indicating that it was highly venomous.

Upon seeing it, Messiah immediately felt a fine layer of goosebumps rise on her skin—as a girl, she was naturally afraid of this kind of creature.

"Some large beasts cannot enter your most familiar castle... but small animals can; snakes can protect you, birds can be your eyes, and spiders can be your ears."

This was actually somewhat beyond the capabilities of the [Herder], but Sulu felt the Messiah could do it.

Because of the modifications made by the Dragon Crystal, her basic attributes already met the requirements for the job. Furthermore, the dragon's blood contained a trace of Dragon Might, which gave her soul essence a sense of majesty, capable of intimidating ordinary beasts and even weak supernatural beings.

In the context of the [Herder] path, this aptitude is simply exceptional.

"Now... tame it according to what I've taught you!"

Sulu casually tossed the snake to the ground.

"Ah!"

Messiah jumped in fright, but after a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the Black Snake's vertical pupils, as if engaging in a silent communication.

Sulu's Inspiration could sense an extremely faint Dragon Might emanating from Messiah, intimidating the creature before him.

"Hiss..."

The Black Snake, which had been extremely tense and in an aggressive posture, suddenly made a move. It lowered its head, as if kissing the ground, to show its submission.

"Make it move..."

Sulu continued.

A moment later, he saw the Black Snake coiled around Messiah's arm, as if it had turned into a black armlet.

With the danger gone, Messiah, his curiosity rekindled, is now curiously observing his 'new friend'.

'This speed... is truly astonishing...'

Even Sulu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this rate, Sophia will probably have already advanced to [Herder] by the time she reaches the Drake Family castle.

"It's... so much fun, it's not scary at all!"

Messiah stretched out her little hand, letting the Black Snake lick it, and occasionally let out a giggle.

"Alright, stop playing and get some rest after you finish eating."

Some time had passed since the palace coup, and seeing that her mood had improved, Sulu couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Soon, the campsite became quiet.

After letting Messiah into the tent, Sulu extinguished the fire and suddenly looked at a shadow. "Come out."

A middle-aged man in a linen robe with a stereotypical appearance stepped forward. "Someone greets the sir!"

"I originally thought you were the Queen's man, but I never imagined that you, like Eric, were loyal to Duke Eamon of Duke of Black Castle!"

Sulu smiled and said.

"Someone brings greetings from the Duke of Black Castle, hoping you will relinquish your control over Messiah," the middle-aged man said, bowing deeply.

"It's impossible."

Sulu's smile remained unchanged.

In fact, ever since he left Dragon City with Messiah, he has been pursued quite a bit along the way.

Among them were those of the Duke of Wolf Castle, as well as other unknown forces, but all of them were dealt with one by one.

As for the Duke of Black Castle, he is the least likely to reach an agreement.

After all, Sulu had promised Lady Rose and Ull that they would join forces to resist the Black Ring School.

The wars in the Wizard world were also a source of experience points for him.

That's a real shame.

The middle-aged man spoke expressionlessly, then retreated into the darkness.

"You think you can just leave so easily?"

Sulu watched his figure, a Thaumaturgy Card appearing in his hand.

"Awooo!"

A Centaur monster wielding a silver spear materialized from the void and leaped out from the front of the card, charging towards the middle-aged man.

"If you survive the Centaur pursuit, I'll spare your life!"
