The Ancient Divine Dragon pierced through the clouds and soared across the sky. Fifty minutes later, we reached the edge of the China server. I maintained my altitude and looked down. White Rose Fortress had been rebuilt between the China server and Japan server. It was our defensive barrier.
Once upon a time, we had shed blood and sweat here. Looking at the White Rose Fortress and the Great Wall of Despair in the distance, I had mixed feelings in my heart. This time, I was only returning home for a short time because I still had to travel far away. There were still people waiting for me in the distance. Besides, the current China server still couldn't accommodate me. If I didn't wash away the dirt on my body, I wouldn't go home.
… …
In the distance, the body of Dragonbone Mountain Range appeared in front of me. I pushed aside the clouds and locked onto Rinser's coordinates. Then, I urged the little dragon to descend. The Ancient Divine Dragon let out a roar and glided toward the snowy mountains, kicking up countless snowflakes that hit the ground like goose feathers.
"Bang!"
I landed heavily on the ground and strode forward with the Purple Ying Sword.
Three meters in front of me, Rinser stared at the Ancient Divine Dragon with bloodshot eyes filled with fear. He wailed, "Is the God Domain finally coming to punish me?
This divine dragon's aura! God dammit, this is a descendant of the ancient Gods. I … I'm really done for today … "
Rinser's fear subsided a little when he saw me jump off the dragon's back. He said, "Boy … how, how do you know how to ride an Ancient Divine Dragon?"
I grinned. "I got it by chance, teacher. Long time no see. Everyone else, read it as usual."
Rinser relaxed and walked forward to touch my chest armor with his staff. He chuckled and said, "Boy, we meet again. You've become incredibly strong as expected. I'm very pleased. Tell me, what benefits do you want from me this time?"
I spread my hands and smiled. "What else can I get?
You don't have much here!
Teacher, I'm here to apply for a class promotion. I'm strong enough now! "
"Oh, I see!"
Rinser looked at me and said, "You're right. Your strength has exceeded my expectations, and you already have the qualifications to obtain a new class. Lady Wind Singer Xinran once came here and told me that there's a class that suits you very well. However, the proof of class promotion will have to be obtained by you yourself."
I asked, "Oh?
What proof of advancement? "
Rinser smiled and said, "I need to obtain a personal letter from Princess Karinshan. I need her recommendation letter before I can pass this great class to you. Also, I need 100,000 gold coins as the processing fee for obtaining the new class inheritance. Brat, have you thought it through?"
I couldn't help but curse out loud. "100k gold? Isn't that a little too much?
Bah! How shameless! "
Rinser was so angry that his entire body was shaking. He pointed a finger at me and said, "Brat, if you weren't Lady Xinran's brother, I … I would've turned you into a pile of rotten meat!"
I shook the Purple Ying Sword and smiled, "You want to kill me?
Come on, let's see if you have the ability to do so. The fans love to read:! "
Looking at the faintly roaring Ancient Divine Dragon behind him, Rinser shuddered again. He said, "Forget it, I'm already so old. Why would I bother with a brat like you? Go, find Princess Karinshan and get her to write me a letter. I'll let your job class obtain the Eighth Transformation legacy."
"Alright!"
I spread my hands and jumped onto the dragon's back. "Xiaolong, let's go!"
It looked like I had no choice but to enter Sky City this time.
The Ancient Divine Dragon let out a long roar and turned around to leave Dragonbone Mountain Range. It flew straight toward Sky City and circled above it in less than five minutes. I didn't dare to enter the eastern plaza. Although I missed the days when I set up stalls and leveled there, I was now a red name in their eyes. I couldn't go there. The good news was that Tang Long had the authority to make me a red name in the eyes of China players, but he didn't have the authority to make me a red name in the eyes of the NPCs. He didn't have the authority to change the main program of the system.
I slowly landed in the palace. In front of the palace steps, hundreds of NPC guards looked at me at the same time. They recognized the emblem on my shoulder and immediately knelt on one knee. "My lord!"
I smiled. Very good. It looked like my military rank and status in the Silver Moon Alliance were pretty high. At the very least, I could move freely in the palace.
… …
Step by step, I entered the palace. The Ancient Divine Dragon circled around me. It blinked its dragon eyes and slightly changed its direction. It shrunk to around two meters long and circled around me. Then, it followed me into the palace hall. It seemed that the little dragon thought that I might be ambushed here, so it followed me. It could ride me into battle mode at any time.
Two rows of fully-armored generals stood at the top of the hall. The sand table at the center was filled with all kinds of terrain. Clearly, they were discussing war plans. Princess Karinshan was born a general, and she was adept at using force to conquer and protect this balanced world. Therefore, she was considered the last hope of the humans, succubi, and elves, and the spiritual core of the entire empire.
She pointed her sword at a corner of the sand table and cleared her throat. "Pass through Dragonbone Mountain Range and enter Wind City's territory. That's where you can step into Bloody Shield Domain. This time, the Night Creatures have gathered an army of about five hundred thousand undead, and the lord of Wind City has sent us a request for reinforcements. According to the treaty, we must send troops. So, Stark!"
A general in black armor knelt to the ground and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Karinshan said, "You will lead two hundred thousand soldiers of the Black Wind Cavalry to the battlefield. I will escort the supplies and reinforce you. If the Night Creatures have a Purgatory Monarch among their ranks, do not attack them just yet. Wait for my order and secretly order Cloudway, the Heartless Knight of Vanished God City to the battlefield. He has learned a lot of martial arts from Wind Singer Xinran, and he may be able to help us a lot."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Karinshan nodded. "Mn. If there's nothing else, prepare to depart!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
… …
Stark turned around and was about to leave when he caught sight of me. He couldn't help but smile. "Long time no see, little brother. It looks like you've grown even stronger!"
I nodded. "Mn. Nice to meet you, Stark!"
"Haha!"
Karinshan also walked over and smiled. "Oh, why are you here, young friend?"
I said, "Nothing important. I'm just here to ask for a letter from Your Majesty so that I can seek a higher class advancement from my trainer, Rinser."
"Oh, so that's how it is …"
The corner of Karinshan's lips curled up. She tilted her head and looked at me with a smile. "You've already become so strong, so why are you still controlled by that old bastard Rinser?
Hmph, Rinser is a kind undead, but he's not that kind. Last month, he drank a dozen or so jars of wine in a small town in Sky City and refused to pay all of them. I heard that he went to a tavern to look for a girl, but in the end, he pulled up his pants and left without leaving anything behind. Oh, no, to be more precise, he left something behind … "
As she spoke, Karinshan's face turned bright red. Fans of the book also liked to read:.
I cursed under my breath. I knew it. The last time I saw Rinser, he was still a big skeleton. This time, I discovered that he had evolved into an Asura and gained a complete body. So he was looking for a girl. Fuck, this guy's bad behavior in the taverns of Sky City is so embarrassing...
I pursed my lips. "Well, Rinser is my trainer, but … but when it comes to my private life, we don't interfere with each other's business. Your Majesty, you must understand!"
Karinshan burst into laughter. "Alright, I know. You want my letter of proof, right?
Yes, I'll write it for you immediately. The frontlines are in a hurry, so I can't accompany you any longer … "
"Mn, okay!"
Karinshan turned around and took the pen and paper from the maid. Then, she leaned over the sand table and neatly wrote the introduction letter for this class advancement — Rinser:
See the letter and see.
Currently, adventurers of Sky City are going to your place to raise their class advancement. Please do not make things difficult for them. If you slack off, I will sweep across Dragonbone Mountain Range, tear down your grass nest, demand the 79 gold you owe in the tavern, and beat you until you can't take care of yourself!
Sky City, Karinshan, do not miss me...
I held the letter in my hand and stared at it. So domineering. As expected of the ruler of Sky City. Princess Karinshan's every word was so powerful...
"Alright!"
Karinshan clapped her hands and took the helmet from the guard. Then, she patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Dear warrior, I'm leaving. See you another day!"
I nodded. "Goodbye, princess. Fans like to read:!"
Karinshan dashed away like she was flying, mounted her mount, and disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.
I followed him out of the hall. The Ancient Divine Dragon's body grew larger, and it glided into the sky. On the main road outside the capital, a group of players who were buying potions looked up at the gradually disappearing Ancient Divine Dragon. A girl about 17 or 18 years old blinked and said, "I... I'm not seeing things, right?
That warrior riding the divine dragon just now looked like Lu Chen … Is the Little Heavenly King back? "
A man next to her said, "Little sis, you must be worshipping Lu Chen like a madman. He's still in the Outer Reaches, so why would he appear in Sky City …"
The girl pouted but didn't say anything.
… …
Thud!
When the Ancient Divine Dragon reappeared above Dragonbone Mountain Range, I took out Karinshan's letter and handed it to her along with 100k gold. "Teacher, I've gathered everything I need. Can you help me with my class promotion now?" I nodded.
The old man weighed the money in his hand for a moment before beaming. "Good! My disciple is tall, mighty, handsome, and rich!"
Me: "..."
… …
The old man put a hand on my shoulder and said in a trembling voice, "I, Rinser, in the name of the War God, bestow upon you a new class title — Grandmaster of Death!"
