From the Fairy Forest to Hammerhead, Kyle crossed almost the entire Free Kingdom. Since he did not have the precise coordinates of Hammerhead, he did not dare to use the teleportation spell without permission.
The body that the World Tree helped Kyle to repair could be used, but it would turn Kyle into a half-human, half-demon. Therefore, he planned to go to Hammerhead to get something that was not part of his plan.
If Kyle had followed his original plan to repair his body, he could have just found a barbarian and gotten a drop of blood essence.
However, it was different now. Ordinary barbarian blood essence could not satisfy the needs of a body created by the World Tree, so he had to go to Hammerhead. Among all the barbarian cities, only Hammerhead had a drop of blood essence from the Ancient Barbarian God.
"Kyle Brothers, you're a magician?
These barbarians are a bunch of idiots who believe in muscles. They hate magicians the most. If you go to Hammerhead, you must be careful of these guys who are all brawn and no brains. "
The one who spoke was a dwarf. These short races did not have a fixed territory. They relied on their brains to do business all over the world.
Kyle was lucky. He saved this little guy's life after leaving the Fairy Forest and hitched a ride with them to Hammerhead.
"I know, Tiny Dot." Kyle leaned on the railing and admired the scenery below. "How long until we reach Hammerhead?"
Tiny Dot raised his eyebrows and said to the guard beside him. He then looked at Kyle with his arms crossed. "You saved my life. If someone else called me that, I would definitely fall out with them!"
Tiny Dot recalled the time when he narrowly escaped death. His assistant had reminded him that it was best to go around the Fairy Forest. It was the returning tide of flying monsters.
However, Tiny Dot did not listen to his assistant. He had to hurry to Hammerhead. This way, he could at least sell his goods at double the price. After this point, it would be difficult to sell them at a good price.
It was this rash decision that caused the Pygmy Merchant Group to lose half of its members. Even Tiny Dot's assistant was killed by the Iron-beak Eagle King.
Fortunately, Kyle had appeared in time to give Tiny Dot a firework show. Otherwise, everything would have been over. This was also why Tiny Dot allowed Kyle to call her that.
"Reporting to Regiment Commander, Commander Mike said that it would only take two days to reach Hammerhead."
Tiny Dot said in surprise, "So fast?"
"He said that it's because the spaceship's energy core is in an overloaded state, which greatly increases the spaceship's power."
"I know. I like Mike's modesty."
Tiny Dot looked up at Kyle and said, "You're really something. You can even overload a damaged energy core."
Kyle knew why Tiny Dot said that Mike was being modest. Even if the energy core was overloaded, the average person would not be able to fly that fast. The original three-day journey was reduced to one day, and the commander of the spaceship had to have excellent piloting skills.
"Alright, as long as we can get there. I'm not in a hurry."
"Good lord, you're the one who keeps urging me, and you're the one who says you're not in a hurry." Tiny Dot looked at Kyle with disdain.
Kyle shrugged indifferently. The reason he was not in a hurry was that he had already fused the Fruit of Resuscitation into his body yesterday. As for the Ancient Barbarian God's blood essence, he just needed to obtain it before the Fruit of Resuscitation was separated from his body.
The body created by the World Tree could last for at least ten days to half a month. As long as he reached Hammerhead, it would be much easier to obtain the blood essence.
"Hahaha, by the way, didn't you say that you were also paying attention to the Freedom Kingdom's school competition?
Do you have any insider information? "Kyle suddenly asked.
Tiny Dot patted his chest. "You've asked the right person. We might be able to place a bet on this trip to Hammerhead. Stel City has already started betting, so every bit counts."
"Oh?
What are the odds? "
Lyle City was a famous gambling city in the Chaos Kingdom. In the beginning, it was a city occupied by a group of desperate gamblers. Later on, they set up bets everywhere and accumulated a sum of capital. After the city was built, it maintained a zero default rate, so it was called the Gambling City.
"The most popular one is the Royal Academy, of course. The next two are not to be underestimated."
"Which two?"
Xiao Budian lightly coughed twice and said in a low voice, "One of them is the Iron Hammer City Academy, and the other one is called … Oh right, the Night Color City Academy. My goodness, this city has just left the Free Kingdom's autonomy, and it actually has a payout rate comparable to the Royal Academy."
Kyle smiled. Night City College's odds were naturally low. Didn't they look at who was going? My Alice would definitely be the champion.
"I know about Hammerhead. It's said that there are two children blessed by the Ancient Barbarian God. That's pretty amazing. Even a normal 4th rank Warrior can't withstand a single punch from them."
Kyle nodded. The Barbarians were known for their strength, but there was a huge gap between the 3rd and 4th ranks. Those who could surpass this gap were no ordinary people.
"That's not the most amazing one. I heard a rumor, so I'm planning to bet on Night City College."
Tiny Dot whispered, "It's said that Night City College has sent out a Dracon!"
Kyle was still as calm as ever, as if he had just heard a very common piece of news.
Seeing that Kyle didn't respond, Tiny Dot danced with joy, "Do you know about Dracons?
The child of a human and a dragon!
Do you know about dragons?
The kind that flies in the sky!
The kind that can breathe fire, wuwuwu!
So fierce! "
Kyle was amused by Tiny Dot's appearance and said, "Okay, okay, I got it. You don't need to demonstrate anymore. Also, that's not fire, that's dragon breath."
"Oh, it's the kind that's very powerful!" Tiny Dot said decisively, "Trust me, you can't go wrong with betting on Night City College!"
… …
In the Royal Academy of Freedom City, the opening ceremony of the Academy Tournament had already ended. All the Academies had finished their introductions and returned to their respective waiting areas.
"The other Academies are basically just here to show their faces. There are only two real opponents in this tournament," Lyon said as he looked at the three little guys.
"I know, Hammerhead's Barbarian Tribe and the Royal Academy's." Lafame had also done his homework.
Lyon nodded and said, "I've sorted out their basic information. You must listen carefully. If you lose because you underestimate your opponent, don't return to City of the Night."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. This was the first time the three little guys had heard Lyon speak in such a serious tone.
Usually, the role of the bad guy was played by Sarah, but this time, she was the good guy. She comforted the little guys, "Don't be nervous. Teacher Lyon is very confident in your strength, but he doesn't want to see you lose because of your mentality, understand?
Prepare well and strive to destroy the Royal Academy's dream of defending their title again. Give the Freedom Kingdom a good slap in the face! "
"For the City of the Night!" Lafame's face was red as he clenched his little fist and said fiercely.
Alice and Yril also nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "For the City of the Night!"
