Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 187 - 0187: Gathering (3 updates, asking for monthly tickets)

“Angus Gold…the demon family!”

After much thought, Su Lu suddenly laughed: “Oh well…the more debts the merrier…l already have a Beryl, I’m not afraid of having one more!”

“If they want to cause me trouble, they’ll have to find me first…l don’t even know where I’ll be next!”

As for divination or locating the “Unnamed Undead Book”?

Su Lu decided not to carry the book with him, but to seal it somewhere else to avoid danger as much as possible.

Like in a bank safety deposit box, or just randomly digging a hole in the wilderness and burying it.

“Hmm…l hope it won’t turn into a ghost realm by the time I return…”

Su Lu had already discovered that the demon-hunting dagger’s suppression of the “Unnamed Undead Book” was not perfect, and there was a possibility of leakage.

Due to the accident, Su Lu chose to delay his actions and recuperate in the mansion.

Time flew by and it was already the 15th of the month.

Su Lu had Billy’s coachman take him to a street that was half in ruins.

This was close to his former property – the House of Dolls, but Su Lu had no intention of taking a look at it.

After all, he was now Ron, not Su Lu Pottery!

“Have a coffee, then wait for me in Seagull Square in two hours!”

Su Lu got off the carriage with a briefcase in hand, casually tossing a few small

tips over.

“I’ll follow your orders, Young Master Ron!”

The no longer young coachman happily took the tips, revealing his sparse teeth, saluted, and left.

Su Lu, on the other hand, watched his surroundings for a moment before entering a building that had become a dangerous structure.

He opened his briefcase, took out the clothes and mask inside, and put them on one by one.

This was the uniform for the ‘party’, Fatima had already reminded him.

When it was all done, he had transformed into a ‘heretic’ cloaked in black and masked in silver.

The kind that’s sure to scare kids and get reported if he was walking down the street.

Su Lu shrugged his shoulders, went to the side of the road, found a sewer entrance, and crawled in.

The sewers were dark, so Su Lu lit a candle.

“You’re late!”

As he turned a corner, a female voice suddenly rang out.

Su Lu ‘jolted’ and turned his head, seeing a masked person dressed similar to him: “Fatima?”

“It’s me! The gathering is about to start, come with me!”

Fatima turned and walked away.

Su Lu silently followed.

After a short walk, the woman familiarly flipped open a certain manhole cover and climbed out.

Su Lu came up after her, completely unaware of where he was. The surroundings were all enclosed by walls, with hardly any people around, making it seem eerily silent and desolate.

“Follow me!”

Fatima led the way, climbing over a window and entering what appeared to be a deserted workshop: “I’ll take you once, and you’ll be able to walk here by yourself next time, if you still want to come, that is!” Such private meetings often posed risks.

Moreover, dangerous items could easily be dealt out.

Su Lu silently nodded in his heart, feeling that Fatima at least had good professional ethics.

In the empty workshop, many people had already gathered, all concealed as Su Lu was.

He waited with Fatima for about ten minutes, and then saw all the people spontaneously forming a circle: “The meeting has started!”

Su Lu stood next to Fatima, his thoughts scoffing: ‘There aren’t even chairs available, quite simple eh… And purposely choosing such a complex terrain, is it for easy escape?’

While the Federation and the Transcendent of Nia City seemed to have reached some degree of collaboration, with the existence of the service introduction office as solid proof, there were obviously some taboos.

Like, they couldn’t openly sell professional information, or dangerous items and the like.

Therefore, there was still space for such private trading.

“The time for our gathering has come again, I’m pleased to see some new faces among us…”

A mask person with a really pleasant voice was the first to speak: “Following the old rules, we will first exchange information, then move to the free trading session…l’ll start. Yes, there are more and more beasts in the sewers in the East District. A ‘Flesh Polluter’ is suspected, and first-rank professionals had best not take on tasks…there’ve already been deaths.”

This information obviously caused a chill in the atmosphere.

Many professionals looked at each other, they thought the tasks in the service introduction office were simple, but unexpectedly, they were extremely dangerous.

“This world…has become more and more dangerous!”

In the silence, the voice of a young woman emerged: “I’ll add something…As far as I know, the Federation has announced the abandonment of a route to the

Old Continent, reason unknown…suspected to be due to giant sea creature attacks on consecutive fleets.”

“The congress has halted voting on the Professional Registration Bill…” After she finished, a tall, thin man signaled with his hand and stated a piece of news.

“In fact…this can’t be hidden for long. There are already quite a few people in Nia City who are aware…it will spread soon…”

Just as he finished speaking, a voice in the crowd murmured.

“Cough, cough… Please raise your hand before speaking!” The person who first spoke cleared his throat as a reminder.

“Sorry…”

The person who had been whispering quickly apologized. It seemed this individual had a high prestige: “I’ll add one more…the Federation intends to recall the expedition and investigation teams at the edge of the world…”

“Damn it!”

The atmosphere instantly plunged into deeper silence, and after a long time, a female voice cursed.

In such times, it’s understandable for the Federation to have to fully retract its military power to defend its homeland.

But Su Lu knew that the edge of the world not only had infinite space, but also had infinite Transcendent resources.

Once this channel was cut off, the domestic Transcendent who wanted to advance would undoubtedly become more difficult.

Unless…they joined the various Transcendent organizations under the Federation cloak, such as the Eleventh Bureau.

However, this would result in the loss of some freedom, which many people present would not accept.

‘At the edge of the world…’

Su Lu sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of yearning.

This world was terrifyingly vast, with the continents discovered by humans probably accounting for less than a tenth of the world.

There were even rumors that in the Dark Continent, there were traces of activity of Transcendent species, even during the Twilight of the Gods!

The so-called Transcendent species were the naturally born Transcendent, powerful and mysterious.

And, the Dark Continent presented other dangers.

Combat and exploration were the only themes for the Federation exploration teams there.

When Su Lu initially got his attribute panel, he had thought about applying to go to the exploration team, aiming to hone his skills there and earn a lot of experience points..
