Chapter 755 - 320: Unexpected Circumstances, Crown of the Sun, Divine Blood Awakens?
"Assessment passed, you can become a formal member of the City Hall."
"Seric, remember my words... The future path is one you must forge yourself. You have a lot of potential, but you need to put in effort and sweat to realize this potential."
"Don’t let me down..."
The boy’s face was still flushed when he left the City Hall.
The impact he received today was more than in his entire life.
The great Lord not only bestowed upon him a new name but also arranged for him to enter the City Hall, a vital department holding authority.
How much attention is this?!
A strong desire arose within him. No matter what, he must pass the assessment in a month, he cannot let the lord down, absolutely not!
The boy’s heart was ignited with a blazing fire.
Lear watched the boy’s departing figure, his gaze profound.
Geniuses are never lacking in this world, but far too many geniuses have buried themselves.
Only a rare few, one in a thousand, truly succeed.
Character, persistence, effort, bearing pressure... If even one of these necessary traits falters, perhaps one would fade into the crowd.
But this is the cruelty of competition, survival of the fittest, no one gives too many chances.
The gods are high above, the nobility rules all directions, if one doesn’t stand out, they’ll only have their fate controlled by others.
Shaking his head, he didn’t dwell on it. He just hoped that this boy wouldn’t disappoint him, a hero unit with 4-star potential is not easy to find.
With arrangements complete on this end, Lear prepared to rest, but just after washing his face, it became lively outside.
His thoughts stirred slightly, and he immediately sensed the bubbles filled with troglodytes gently landing from the sky.
Betina, who went to find the troglodytes, has returned.
Soon, City Hall personnel hurried over to arrange for these tender and delicious labor forces.
Lear sensed this scene, and his mood lifted.
Over five thousand troglodytes are no small number; they’re all excellent miners.
The reserve plan for mineral resources can now be expanded on a grand scale.
The next day.
All the humans who arrived in Weilu City were assigned jobs and distributed across various departments.
No one discriminated against them just for being human; they were treated normally, and so these somewhat nervous humans began to integrate.
Once again lamenting the city’s extraordinariness and greatness.
On the other side, Seric was assigned to the busiest department in City Hall—the Department of Administration, becoming the most basic staff member, responsible for nearly all the trivial tasks.
But what surprised the staff of the Department of Administration was how quickly this frail human boy learned things.
In just one morning, he learned most of the work, and by the afternoon, he could help out. By closing time, it was hard to tell he was a novice.
More importantly, his attitude was excellent, willing to do anything.
With outstanding ability and a positive attitude, he immediately earned respect; for the first time, Seric felt the meaning of his existence...
Lear, however, didn’t pay much attention to these matters; too many things awaited his handling.
Especially in Katana, with its rapidly increasing population, various planning details, big and small, required his approval or reevaluation.
Busy times flew by quickly, and before he knew it, it was May 23rd.
Upon waking up in the morning, Lear’s first glance was directed at the three-star intel refreshed on the 15th—
On May 23rd, 120 kilometers southeast of the Mire Swamp, a dimensional plane will appear, inside which grows a 3-star magic plant capable of greatly enhancing strength—the Green Star Fruit.
He had been waiting for this thing for many days.
Wasting no time, he summoned seven Great Demons, brought along Betina, Tulos, and a battalion of Two-winged Demons, and immediately set off.
In the current cold weather, the distance of 120 kilometers would take at least two days on foot, but by flight, it took less than an hour to arrive.
As soon as they approached the target area, Lear immediately sensed the surrounding power of space surging violently like tides.
It was easy to follow the spatial power fluctuations to find the exact location... A spatial rift, already torn four to fifty meters wide, appeared before them.
He could sense warm currents continuously gushing out of the dimensional plane, causing the thick frost and snow around to start melting.
Lear gestured to the Extraordinary-Tulos beside him, and the vampire immediately flapped his bat wings and passed through the rift.
In no time, he returned to report.
"Your Majesty, no creatures were found on the other side, but this dimensional plane is full of spatial rifts with chaotic currents raging... We need to proceed cautiously."
Lear nodded.
"Have the Great Demons go in to guard."
After the seven Great Demons entered, he led the troops across the rift.
After crossing the plane, the scenery suddenly changed.
The light in front of them dimmed, like a dark night with only flickering candles burning, making it difficult to see clearly beyond two or three hundred meters.
Upon extending his perception, he immediately felt that the entire plane was like a tattered bag, leaking air everywhere.
Not far away, there were even a few spatial rifts four to five meters long, leading directly to the Chaotic Void outside.
This plane was like a structure with its foundation hollowed out and load-bearing walls smashed.
It could collapse at any moment.
Lear’s gaze became vigilant.
"Have the Great Demons scout ahead; we can’t stay too long... Find the Green Star Fruit and return immediately."
If the plane suddenly collapsed in such a place, it would be a dangerous predicament, even if they survived.
"Yes!"
The Great Demons immediately led the way, avoiding areas with too many spatial rifts.
