Chapter 73 Entering the Royal City
Chapter 73 Entering the Royal City (Part )
Ash traveled northward, but he did not encounter any more assassinations from the Crows or open pursuits by the authorities on the way.
Ash guessed that, apart from the bunny girl behind the scenes, the royal family themselves were too busy to hunt him down.
According to what we heard on the way, the three princes of Luseth were fighting each other fiercely.
January 1235, 1 Iron Calendar
Ash finally arrived at the center of the country, Natan.
Looking at the huge white wall in front of him, Valentine fell into a trance. He had never seen such a tall wall, hundreds of meters high, almost towering into the clouds.
"Okay, stop looking, it's just a wall." Ash patted Valentine's shoulder.
"But it's so high." Valentine said subconsciously.
"But it's only high." Ash said calmly, "It's just a pile of dead things."
This sentence made some people unable to hold back: "How can you say that! This is the sacred wall built by our Luoan ancestors. It was once a guardian for us to resist the giant beasts!"
Ash glanced at the speaker, a girl with dark yellow skin, and said in a calm tone: "But it died. It died two hundred years ago."
The girl was about to retort, but her mouth froze.
Because two hundred years ago, the Chekhov Dynasty collapsed.
The girl opened her mouth and finally whispered unwillingly: "It will come back to life eventually!"
"I think it's better for it to die forever." Ash walked forward, "Maybe that's what it wants, too."
"Hey, are you from Luoan or not? How can a descendant curse his own sacred object to death!" the girl cursed with her hands on her hips.
"Little brat." Ash just replied with this word.
"Aren't you a little brat too? A little brat who's as tall as me!" The girl became even angrier. As a teenager, she hated being called a little brat the most!
Ash ignored them and queued up to enter the city.
The girl angrily complained to the adults and pulled the masked woman next to her and said, "Sister, look at him, another banana man who betrayed his ancestors!"
The woman was not anxious. Instead, she touched the girl's head and looked up at the city wall with a hint of complexity in her eyes:
"Lily, maybe that young man is right. The Holy Wall might wish it would be better if it remained dead."
The girl Lily was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because its mission is to protect the people behind it from being threatened." The woman cast her eyes on Ash's back. "When it is no longer needed, it means that the people it is protecting can enjoy peace and happiness forever. No danger can threaten them. This is a good thing."
"Oh." The girl Lily nodded, not quite understanding. She looked at the white guards at the city gate with hatred in her eyes, "But the people the Holy Wall is supposed to protect are wrong."
"Yes, that's wrong." The woman murmured.
On the way, Ash glanced at Valentine who was hesitant to speak: "Why, do you also think I was wrong?"
Valentine hesitated and nodded.
Ash sighed, "Valentin, what do you think the purpose of building the wall is?"
"Defend against foreign enemies." said Valentine.
"Yes, to defend against external enemies." Ash turned his head and glanced at the wall. "If there are no enemies, does it matter whether it dies or not?"
Valentine thought about it and shook his head: "It makes no difference."
"So it's fine for it to just stand there quietly." A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Ash's mouth, but it quickly disappeared.
There was one more thing he didn't say. In his eyes, this thing was not a holy object at all, but a piece of dregs, a piece of dregs that could clearly distinguish people from each other based on their blood.
Natan was built on the mountain, divided into the third, second, first and central rings. The third ring was for the poor, the second ring was for the rich, the first ring was for the nobles, and the central ring was the Sun Palace, where the current royal family, Arsu, lived. Ash found a hotel in the second ring to stay in, as the security in the third ring was a bit worse, and he didn't want thieves to sneak in at night.
Along the way, Cai Gou has caught too many thieves like this.
Arriving at the room, Ash called out, "Sister Yelin?"
"What do you want me to do?" The bunny girl appeared and asked with a cold expression.
"We're in the capital now. What do we do next?" Ash asked.
Ye Lin said, "It's up to you, just don't cause me any trouble. I don't want to alert the enemy."
"Oh." Ash said, "Then let's start today's sword fight."
The sword forces collided again in this small room, but Ye Lin raised an eyebrow because she felt a hint of unparalleled power in Yaxiu's sword force.
The enchanting scent filled the room once again, and for the first time, Ye Lin wished that time would go by faster.
Ever since the last time Ash's bloodline was upgraded, her body seemed to have turned on a switch and had become more sensitive.
Ye Lin knew that it was her reproductive instinct as a monster that was at work. To put it in vulgar terms, she was in estrus.
When Ash reached his limit, the bunny girl immediately left the room.
Guiding the moonlight, the bunny girl forced herself to calm down.
After taking a look at the place where the bunny girl disappeared, Ash entered the dream room.
Picking up a clay pot and drinking the milk inside in big gulps, Ash replenished a few more magic cores. Finally, a feeling of comfort ran down his spine.
{Achievement: [Second Level Perfection] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*20}
{Activate achievement · [Third level perfection]: Personal level reaches 20/30.}
Ash scrolled forward a bit more.
{Achievement: [Water Giant III] achieved, reward: achievement points*4}
{Activate achievement [Water Giant IV]: Catch 0/1 aquatic creature weighing 10000 jin.}
{Achievement: [Elite Fisherman] achieved, reward: achievement points*4}
{Activate achievement [Expert Fisherman]: Catch 2201/10000 fish in the wild (Note: the more valuable the fish, the more fish it represents).}
{Achievement: [Chef] achieved, reward: achievement points*8}
{Activate Achievement: [Celebrity Chef]: Learn 100/100 dishes and receive sincere praise from 11124/100000 people.}
Along the way, Ash caught a lot of big fish, and sold the ones he couldn't eat at a stall, so his progress in fishing and cooking achievements was moving forward.
Including the few Nemesis achievements he accidentally completed along the way, plus the achievement just now, his current achievement points are exactly 40.
[Achievement Points: 40-》39]
In the pure white space, Ash began to compress his fighting spirit again. This time, with enough fighting spirit, the biggest difficulty of the second transformation had been solved, and the only thing left was a matter of time.
And he has plenty of time right now.
[Achievement Points: 39-》38]
{Inherent Skill · [First Level Fighting Qi] has been upgraded, and Inherent Skill · [Second Level Fighting Qi] has been solidified.}
On the panel, [Unrivaled Sword Style], [Chiko Swordsmanship], [Second Level Fighting Qi], [Sword Fighting Qi], [Flame Sun Fighting Qi], [Flame Sun Heart], and [Flame Sun Soul] all lit up.
Ash suddenly felt something growing outward from inside his body, with his heart as the core.
"Qi meridians?" Ash thought.
Qi channels are one of the means to increase fighting spirit, and are also one of the reasons why there is a real gap between expert and elite professions on the warrior side.
Without Qi channels, the combat effectiveness of expert-level professionals could be said to be cut in half.
But that is for ordinary expert professions. For Ash, a supermodel in all aspects, the increase is not that great.
But even so, when the meridians are completed, Ash's challenge coefficient under normal circumstances will be enough to break through the limits of mortals and reach the forbidden level.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
