Transcendent Dawn

As for nobility and territories, Su Lu was not particularly interested.

But then it occurred to him, he had to arrange a base for the Arrogant School.

If he did not request for it, it would seem to be against the rules of this land. Even though he didn’t mind, there had to be a way for his enemies to find him, right? Or maybe … to deliberately create a false weakness?

“Lordship? A free territory? Dragon Crystal?”

King Felitlin III coughed again, his majestic gaze looking down.

The power and the duties between a sovereign and his subjects are the core of the nobility’s rule on this continent.

To put it simply, a sovereign grants territory to his vassal, the vassal has the duty to serve the sovereign, and of course, in turn, the sovereign must protect his vassals.

But Su Lu’s request was to only have the power without the duties.

He just wanted a piece of territory and had no intention of pledging allegiance to Felitlin III.

Even if it was just a small free lordship, it was really taboo and might be attacked by surrounding nobility – after all, there was nobody above to guard you!

King Felitlin III withdrew his gaze from Su Lu, his heart filled with some helplessness.

If the latter was willing to serve, let alone lordship, even hereditary baronship could be possible.

But evidently, this powerful man had no intention of serving him.

More so, he was demanding for equality and tolerance.

Maybe because of the Western feudal system, he quickly accepted the reality and began to think about it.

If it was the emperor of a unified empire, Su Lu’s attitude would directly lead to a major fight, to the death.

Because the imperial majesty is not to be offended; when a ruler wants a subject to die, the subject would have no choice but to die!

Once this unwritten rule is broken, wouldn’t future subjects follow suit, making life unbearable?

But in this world? Let alone Felitlin III, even Dragon I could not completely conquer the world, and could only compromise with various nobilities.

The art of nobility is the art of compromise.

“Cough, cough…”

At this moment, a man dressed in a white robe and looking like a scholar next to him spoke up, “Su Lu Pottery! As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I have to remind you that criminals cannot be ennobled. Legally speaking, you are still the criminal wanted by the Duke of Wolf Fort in the North Territory! Perhaps… we should first discuss your amnesty issue.”

Clearly, this was but a bargaining chip.

If the King wants to mediate the conflict between the Duke of Wolf Fort and Su Lu, he would still have the confidence to do so.

“I don’t mind it…”

Su Lu waved his hand, “I am always ready to welcome the Duke to attack me, and according to the rules of the noble council… under this situation, murders by both parties are legal, right?”

“Well, okay… you’ll get what you want.”

King Felitlin III tiredly waved his hand, “I will enfeoff you as the hereditary noble, award you a free territory, and the Dragon Crystal…”

He turned his gaze to Messiah.

“Sorry… the necklace… is gone.” Messiah was almost in tears; she didn’t expect Su Lu to betray her to her face.

What a jerk! She even covered up for him!

“The Princess’s necklace is already in my hands, I need others…”

Su Lu explained briefly.

Edward and Erik both became enlightened, understanding why he had ventured into the palace the night before.

Especially Erik, the wizard looked at Su Lu with fervor in his eyes: ‘Does this Arrogant School possess the method to utilize a Dragon Crystal?’

He had a strong desire to ask, but after considering Su Lu’s prowess, he restrained himself.

“You…”

King Felitlin III pointed at Su Lu, his hand was quivering slightly.

Have you ever seen a thief who blatantly extorts the victim? He is right here!

‘By the name of the Mother Goddess, I have never seen anyone so brazenly shameless!’

“Of course… Dragon Crystals are very valuable, I won’t let you suffer a loss, Your Majesty.”

Su Lu laughed as he raised a finger: “One thing! One Dragon Crystal can be exchanged for any request within your power!”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Queen Flora Drake again. The lady, fanning herself, gently tapped her chin to indicate that she had heard.

After all, having witnessed Su Lu’s abilities, she believed that he was a very powerful assassin, capable of silently taking anyone’s life!

Although Dragon Crystals were precious, if they could not be utilized, they were not much different from a common stone.

“One requirement? I understand.”

King Felitlin III was also considering it.

“Then, I shall take leave, Your Majesty.”

Su Lu bowed slightly, his figure vanished in a blink.

Even though they were prepared, King Felitlin III and his Prime Minister were still unable to contain their shock, their faces turning pale green.

“Starting today, the top aristocrats on the continent will not be able to sleep well… and will try various means to eliminate me!”

Walking along the avenues of Dragon City, Su Lu carried a smile on his lips.

Today’s compromise of Felitlin III was just a helpless action for temporary stability.

Behind the scenes, he would certainly convene all his think-tanks and experts to scheme how to expel this threat!

“To lock up my ‘Flicker’, the best weapon would be the ‘Dimensional Lock’, but that is something of a legendary level… apart from that, there are some marvels… seems like I need to be more careful from now on.”

Su Lu did not believe objects of that sort of level would still appear in the world, but still, he became more guarded.

“This also gives them a choice, peace or war.”

The moment they make a move, it would be legitimate for him to relentlessly destroy their force, to gather experience.

Until now, Su Lu felt that he had maintained the bottom line; the previous clashes were all initiated by others attacking him, and he had been forced to counterattack.

“But those aristocrats will not believe it, they only see that I possess the power to threaten them, nothing more… perhaps, there are also schemers who wish to use me…”

Su Lu felt like he was playing an interesting game.

As for the end?

Even if chaos reigns supreme, as long as he gains enough experience, he can dust his pants and walk away, he is the least fearful.

“Huh?”

At that moment, he noticed a familiar figure and, without hesitation, changed his direction to enter a small alley.

In a corner, a group of children were gathered.

Ham was holding a tray of candies, distributing them one by one.

Upon seeing Su Lu approaching, his face changed and the tray in his hand fell to the ground: “Master…”

The homeless knight, who could bravely wave his sword against the Stitched Abnormality, holds back the tears in his eyes: “I am sorry…”

“You have nothing to apologize to me for, have you felt the difference power brings?”

Su Lu asked calmly.

“Ruff… he changed, and so did Yoen, I originally thought he wouldn’t, but…”

Ham choked up, barely able to continue speaking.

“In this world, nothing remains unchanged.”

Su Lu laughed: “Since I ran into you, why don’t you follow me? There are other things for you to do.”
