Invitation

Rhode and Anfei's settlement in the Chris Empire went smoothly.

They were professionals after all, and having undergone extraordinary Baptism, they learned languages very quickly.

Sulu then used the power of the [Thaumaturge] to help them forge their identities, transforming them into a merchant couple from the Old Continent, thus perfectly resolving their identity problem.

Soon, they settled in a small town, opened a shop, and began cautiously making contact with the local circle of extraordinary individuals.

In the Chris Empire, the vast majority of those who possess professional information are nobles.

Of course, over the long period of time, some of it flowed out into the hands of big merchants and adventurers, but there were always intricate connections between them.

It's fair to say that these circles are quite exclusive, and gaining trust takes time.

The first snow of the 281st year of the Federation Calendar came very early.

Inside the mansion, Brigitte was wiping the floors and furniture as usual, but her movements were much more skillful, and her eyes were fuller with intelligence.

In the void, an invisible gate was opened.

Sulu, in his Planeswalker form, emerged, somewhat disheveled, but with an undisguised smile on his face, "The Void Stone... I've finally found it."

In his hand, a bluish-green ore, seemingly weightless, was faintly glowing.

It is translucent, and inside it seems to contain a blue flame that flickers erratically.

This is the Void Stone, a unique mineral found only in the Myriad Spirit World!

For professionals in this world, it's a legendary material; even Dunstan considered it extremely rare.

For Sulu, however, it only requires a little time and some risky gathering.

"Only the final ingredient, Spirit Ink, is needed to complete the Sealing Card..."

Sulu sighed.

He couldn't help but think of Rhode, Rhode new home he had dinner at the previous night.

It has to be said that Anfei is actually quite a good cook, which really surprised him.

Rhode's life there was peaceful, very peaceful.

The Chris Empire is an old, powerful aristocratic nation that values order and occupies vast colonies. Domestic prices are stable, and the country is almost undisturbed.

Of course, one could also say it's the last rays of the setting sun, or a building whose interior is decaying while its exterior remains pristine.

In conclusion, such a powerful empire is capable of suppressing any internal turmoil, and even in the face of the Dawn of Gods and the resurgence of the Spirit Tide, the emperor and the council are more experienced in dealing with such situations than the Federation.

On the mystical side, antiquity often represents profound heritage and strength!

"Speaking of which, the only major loss suffered by the Chris Empire was during the Holy War three hundred years ago, which allowed the White Eagle Federation, then a colony, to establish itself as a nation... This was made possible by the strong support of the Church of the Goddess of Light. Therefore... within the Federation, the Goddess Church holds the mainstream faith, but in the Old Continent, it has faced some suppression."

This is also why Sulu allowed Rhode to seek refuge there; the Church of the Church of the Goddess of Light would be difficult to extend to that area.

Taking the box from Beatrice, Sulu carefully placed the Void Stone inside and stored it in the Greed Glove.

"The current plan is to create Sealing Card to search for and seal the Cursed Spirit, thereby increasing our own strength..."

"Besides that, there's the progress of the [Planeswalker]... and the search for the next path."

Once you enter the legendary realm, you'll need to master a completely new profession and reach the pinnacle of that class!

This step is difficult.

However, without reaching the pinnacle of one's rank, even the most basic requirements for employment cannot be met!

After that legend, the days of being promoted several times a year became impossible.

"The progress of a [Planeswalker] lies in traversing numerous worlds and perfecting the ' Planeswalker Heart ' according to the rules of different worlds!"

Sulu pondered for a moment, "Once our combat strength reaches the next level, we must immediately begin exploring the world."

"Master... Dunstan has come to pay a visit."

Beatrice bowed slightly.

"Oh?" Sulu snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the girl's disguised face, "What do you think... is the reason?"

"I think it's about the Legendary Professional ..." Beatrice replied softly.

"Okay, go and invite him in."

Sulu's eyes flickered as he watched Beatrice's retreating figure.

After this period of 'training', Beatrice's movements were no longer clumsy, or rather, a completely new personality was born on a blank sheet of paper.

--A personality controlled by oneself, belonging to the category of a servant.

"That's fine too. What I need isn't a puppet on a string, but a subordinate with a certain degree of autonomy who can share some of the workload with me..."

"Now that her personality has formed and developed, the next step is to teach her to master the power of the [Undead]."

[Undead]!

This is a Tier 4 Master-level profession, possessing the advantages of undead creatures but without their weaknesses!

It's fair to say that Beatrice, who was previously a complete novice, was utterly incapable of fully utilizing the power of the [Undead]. She was only passable as a maid; if she were to actually fight, she would likely be taken down by a Tier 3 expert.

How can this be?

We still need to train hard...

Just as he was lost in thought, Dunstan, dressed in a white robe, arrived. "Lord Sulu."

"Your Excellency Dunstan"

The old man's eyes shone with Wisdom. Green Tree Castle also owned shares in the Wireless Telegraph company and was the professional manager they had appointed.

Anfei's Telegraph must have a copy with Dunstan.

But the old man held back, saying nothing, seemingly observing the situation closely.

However, Sulu certainly wouldn't take Rhode with her; otherwise, wouldn't he become a ready-made hostage?

Although those in the Inner Circle would trust him more, he didn't trust himself!

What if there's a conflict of interest? Wouldn't that put Rhode in a very difficult position? It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Could it be that the party we talked about last time has finally started?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sulu got down to business.

"Yes." Dunstan's smile widened. "Lord Uvitan has sent me an invitation. The location is in international waters East Coast."

"At sea?"

Sulu curled his lip and retorted, "Is this because they're afraid of starting a war directly?"

Fifth-tier professionals have a very large attack range, which can easily cause friendly fire, making them the best choice for combat on the open sea.

"Cough cough..."

Dunstan coughed twice. "Gentlemen, you are all primarily peace-loving... but occasionally there are those with hostility who need to duel under a fair court..."

In reality, there were very few life-or-death battles in the legends.

Such duels are merely to determine a winner and loser, serving as a basis for the advancement or retreat of their respective forces.

Even so, the aftershocks are something that ordinary people cannot withstand!
