Starting from the Dragon Tribe

"Your Majesty Duke, King Kusla has no good intentions."

After the old eunuch Wallis left, Gu Lanting whispered beside Lu Chen.

"I know."

Lu Chen nodded.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. It is not an easy job to be an envoy to the orcs in the Western Region and negotiate with them.

Whether it is the collapse of negotiations that leads to a war between the Empire and the Orcs, or a compromise to pay annual dues to the Orcs, this will be reviled.

King Kusla himself was worried about matters in the Western Territory, but he did not dare to make a decision, so he put the blame on him, who was also a member of the royal family. As the Duke of the Empire, he was indeed qualified to negotiate on behalf of the Empire.

When the result comes out, King Kusla can of course push the matter away. If you want to scold Duke Godzilla, just scold Duke Godzilla. It has nothing to do with the king.

It was a very insidious strategy, but it had to be said that it was very effective. King Kusla finally found a reasonable and effective way to attack his brother's reputation.

If he doesn't accept the matter, King Kusla can also use this to spread rumors that Duke Godzilla has given up. As long as he accepts it, there will be no good result, and his reputation will be completely ruined in the end.

"Then the Duke..."

Gu Lanting wanted to persuade, but he didn't know what to do. He was good at marching and arranging troops, but he didn't know how to deal with this kind of political intrigue.

"Of course I want to go."

Lu Chen smiled coldly.

There is no risk if he doesn't go, and even if his reputation drops, it won't return to zero, but that's not what he wants.

Negotiating with the orcs is difficult, but it is also an opportunity. If handled well, it may allow him to regain military power and take another step forward.

And if the opponent had made a move before today, he might have hesitated for a while, but now he had other trump cards.

"yes."

Gu Lanting stood at attention and said nothing. He respected all the decisions made by the Duke.

"I'll go to the church first in the afternoon. You can take him with you in the house. Watch out for Gree and don't let him run around."

Lu Chen stood up and told him that before setting off, he had to go somewhere first.

…………

Passing through the lush green roads, the majestic temple comes into view.

This is Thatcher Cathedral, the headquarters of the Imperial Church.

The clergy in front of the church saluted Lu Chen silently and did not speak to him.

He walked into the interior of the church, which was extremely beautifully decorated. The beautifully carved pillars looked like a forest of white holy stones. Every place that could be painted was covered with murals.

Holy water flows from the statue and drips into the holy pool, making a soft sound.

Sunlight shines through the frescoed windows made of spar on both sides, and projections of myths are sprinkled on the ground inside the church. Everything is so dreamlike and so quiet.

He walked towards the back of the temple and stepped up the stairs. Two holy knights pulled out their swords and stopped in front of Lu Chen.

"Step aside."

Lu Chen's voice was calm.

Sweat could not help falling from the foreheads of the two Paladins. Only when they confronted this man at close range did they understand why he had such a prestigious reputation.

"Let the Duke go up."

When the situation was tense, an old man's voice rang out. It was an old man who was sweeping the floor in the church. He was wearing pure white clothes and had a monocle in front of his eyes. He looked like an old scholar with profound knowledge.

The two paladins hesitated for a moment, then put their swords back into their sheaths, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen turned around and looked at the old man meaningfully. He didn't realize when the other man came just now. Duke Godzilla had an impression of this old man in his memory. He was the Pope of the Keya Empire.

An old man who seemed to be in his final years, he usually kept a low profile. He even did not attend some of the empire's ceremonies, letting the archbishops below attend on his behalf.

"Your Majesty, please come up."

The old man had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel refreshed, but his eyes were calm, making it difficult to guess where he stood.

Lu Chen didn't answer, walked past the two paladins, pushed the door open and entered the forbidden area of ​​the church.

This is a place that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Only the children of the royal family can enter, because this is the mourning hall of the emperors of the empire.

As the Duke of the Empire and one of the less than ten surviving members of the Howard family, he is certainly qualified to enter.

But the attitude of the two paladins was very subtle. It turned out that King Kusla had done a lot in the past twenty years, and even some people in the church completely surrendered to him.

The door is closed, but it's not dark.

Just like a spiral realm, this is a room created with forbidden space techniques. The inside is far grander than the outside. The ring forms a tower from bottom to top.

The candles on each candlestick are always bright. These are specially made candles using magic technology. Each candle can burn for hundreds of years.

Behind each candle is the position of a monarch, and behind it is a long box. Of course, it is not the remains of the monarchs, but the relics and lessons they left behind.

Generally speaking, monarchs are buried in the royal cemetery, and this is a place where descendants come to pray and meditate.

The long box is generally not opened by anyone, but is placed there as a symbol of spiritual inheritance.

After all, those who succeed the throne will either keep the instructions of the previous monarchs in mind, or they are not prepared to abide by them, and they will not come here to read them.

Lu Chen came here because he remembered other words the previous king said before he died.

"If one day you want to go to Dragon Nest, then think again about what I taught you."

This sentence sounds a bit inexplicable, because the previous king did not mention the Dragon Nest to his son, and seemed to have been heartbroken by the death of his companion.

Growing up, every time Duke Godzilla asked about his mother, his father would only show sadness on his face and not answer.

As for the teachings related to Dragon Nest, they have never been mentioned.

Whether it was warning his son not to go or his attitude towards the Dragon Clan, he didn't mention a word.

Thinking about it, the teaching can only be found in his legacy.

Although the former Duke Godzilla often came here to pray and remember his father, he never opened the box with the relics because he was a man of his word and never wanted to go against his father's wishes. He would not do anything to his younger brother. Take action.

Likewise, since his father doesn't want him to go to Dragon Nest, he won't go either.

But as an explorer, Lu Chen, although he lamented the tragic love of his parents in this world and admired Duke Godzilla's trustworthiness, he would not let go of the clues and opportunities that needed to be investigated.

On the sixth floor, he found the spiritual tablet of the previous monarch, King Yongzhan, and performed a military salute to show respect.

Then remove the candlestick, pull out the long box at the back, and open it directly.

Years of dust gave the box the smell of old wood. Two letters lay quietly inside.

One of them was King Yongzhan's will. This will was read out in front of many ministers in the royal capital and then put into a box. Lu Chen did not read it because he knew the content.

The other letter had Godzilla's signature written on it.

Lu Chen thought it was true, then he opened the letter and read it.

"Godzilla, if you see this letter, it means you have decided to go to Dragon Nest..."

The letter was quite long, and it was basically some advice to his son, as well as an expression of guilt for his eldest son. It was not until the end of the letter that he saw something that made his eyes light up.

It turns out that in the process of long-term interactions with his dragon companions, King Yongzhan realized a special kind of fighting spirit, which can be regarded as a theoretical thing.

This theory was revised and tested by him and Godzilla's mother, and gradually became complete, and a brand new fighting spirit system was developed.

But in theory, this kind of fighting spirit can only be cultivated by people with human-dragon hybrids, so the brave warrior king failed to go further.

On the continent of Aika, the humans rely on fighting spirit to strengthen their bodies, the orcs rely on their natural physical strength to dominate the grasslands, the elves rely on their excellent magic to rule the Ahir Forest, and the dwarves have stronger physical fitness than humans but not as good as the orcs. They mainly rely on Excellent equipment, as well as "technological" weapons.

As for the dragon clan, they are the absolute overlords. Every giant dragon, as long as it reaches adulthood, will be the peak combat power of the continent.

Their bodies are naturally powerful, and their dragon language magic is even more powerful than the elves.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the giant dragons were lazy and had no interest in ruling the continent, and their numbers were small, I'm afraid the Aika continent would have already become the kingdom of giant dragons.

Lu Chen groped at the bottom of the box. This box was built and placed by the most trusted bodyguard of King Yongzhan during his lifetime. After that bodyguard completed everything, he went to the Great Wall to die.

Pulling the trigger, Lu Chen took out a book made of hard material and checked it using the identification function of the origin space.

Rating: 400 points (relic level score is 301-450 points)

Certification conditions: World exploration degree reaches above 50%.

Certification price: The prerequisites are not met and cannot be viewed.

Lu Chen held this nameless fighting spirit in his hand and was very excited. He finally knew what the quality above the epic level was.

He originally just wanted to come here to see if the previous king had left any special messages that would help him break the situation. Unexpectedly, a sacred object-level cultivation technique was actually opened from the box!

But when I saw the certification conditions and price, it felt like I was poured cold water on it.

He was in the last world, but after killing Nidhogg, the final boss of the world, the world exploration rate reached over 50%.

He suspected that the world exploration level of 50% was a dividing line. After passing this line, space might be able to do something to the world.

Judging from his last experience, he might have a chance to fulfill this condition only by basically destroying the world.

The certification price cannot be viewed, but it is by no means cheap, and it may not even require an exchange of Origin coins.

This made Lu Chen feel really bad. He was holding a peerless skill in his hand, but he couldn't take it with him and couldn't use it.

This was so uncomfortable that he suspected that Space had allowed him to see this thing in order to motivate himself.

He has seen cultivation system type props several times before in the space trading market. They are more expensive than bloodline props, because bloodline is often difficult to improve, and mastering a cultivation system, if the explorer has the talent, resources and opportunities, the upper limit is very high.

For example, he saw a basic chakra training method. Although it was only a purple-quality prop, it cost half a million.

He has also seen the method of cultivating internal power. Yes, it is the internal power that Brother Caesar has always been obsessed with, and it is also the internal power that Lu Chen is very interested in, but it is only of blue quality and the upper limit is not high, so Lu Chen did not buy it.

Because his physical fitness has exceeded the upper limit of what his internal strength can achieve, even if he buys that skill and practices it to the top, he may not be able to add any attributes. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When the training methods conflicted, he gave up.

But the fighting qi technique in my hand is different at this time. According to the description of the space, fighting qi, magic, spiritual energy, etc. are listed. This should be a very common technique for the general public, which also shows its inclusiveness and replaceability. .

The so-called replaceability is also easy to understand, that is, if he obtains the spiritual energy cultivation method of Xianxia in the future, he can also convert the "fighting energy" in his body into spiritual energy adapted to the new method, and his physical strength will not be weakened.

It is definitely the best thing. Judging from the quality of this thing, if the former Duke Godzilla cultivates this nameless fighting spirit, he may be able to break through the 40th level limit in his lifetime.

But here's the annoying part, this thing can't be learned until he returns to space, and he can't go back now.

etc!

Lu Chen's mind suddenly turned around. He looked at the cultivation secret book in his hand and said to himself, "Can I just go back to space to learn it?"

You must know that this secret book was left to him by Godzilla's parents. It was originally a complete secret book. Why did he have to go back to space to learn it?

He has been living in space for too long recently, buying various equipment and props, using inheritance crystals to strengthen his skills, and he increasingly feels that space is like a data-based game.

But he seemed to have overlooked that everything... was not a game.

The "Nameless Dou Qi" is indeed in his hands at this time. It is a prop, and the space also provides instructions on how to use it, but it is also a real practice secret book.

It is reasonable and it exists. Why do I just want to rely on space to help me learn it directly, just like when I click on skills in a game?

I can definitely do it, see for yourself if you can learn it!

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen opened the cover of the Nameless Dou Qi and saw complicated runes, which were not the words used by the people of the Keya Empire.

It's Long Wen.

He was a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't be stingy and exchanged all the languages ​​​​before entering the world. Otherwise, he would be illiterate now and couldn't read a book.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, leaving everything else behind, and read this "Secret Book of Exercises" quietly.
