Just as Su Lu was living a simple life in seclusion near the ruins, the entire Dragon continent inevitably plunged into the abyss of war.

Western Region.

Despite the death of his son, Duke Frank remained decisive and brave. After failed negotiations, he resolutely led his troops into the territory of the Drake family, ruled by Shaker.

Naturally, the Drake family fought to the death. Plus, with the ‘ancient feud’ between the Westerners and the Northerners, they raised the banner of protecting the queen. Amidst the hostile land, the Northern Army’s progress was arduous.

Even under the rule of Frank, a staid noble, instances of lax military discipline were not uncommon.

The heavy burden of war suddenly fell upon the inhabitants of the Western Region.

Eastern Region.

Rob Canal.

This is a river running east-west across the continent, the main transportation artery of the entire Dragon continent.

At this point, a huge fleet was sailing up the river from the estuary.

The low-profile Duke of the Eastern Archipelago, upon seeing the war-ridden continent, finally could not bear it; he was tempted to profit.

The official title of the Eastern Duke is – Duke of the Pearl and Spice Archipelago. His family’s symbol is a mermaid in the blue sea waves.

His family’s surname is Lester. The family was once renowned for pirates, known for producing good-looking men and women.

Duke Lester is now over fifty years old, but looks just like someone in their thirties. This is not only due to superior bloodline but also the result of great power.

On the path of profession, he had walked farther than the Duke of North Territory and is now about at the third tier of the Main World.

At this moment, inside the captain’s suite of the flagship ‘Sea King’, he was focusing and examining a new map of the Kingdom.

“Duke of Wolf Fort has installed a side branch of the royal family who has the closest bloodline relationship with Terrin III, self-proclaimed Wallace I. But until the queen in the Western Region does not abdicate, it’s just a joke… ”

“Our family has accepted the invitation this time, and we must demand the highest price from the king and the prime minister!”

He muttered to himself, his fingers tracing over a piece of coastal land.

For the hereditary nobility, a fiefdom is the most valuable wealth!

For island nobles, a continent fiefdom is a perpetual longing!

“Duke Lester, I’m sorry you chose the wrong side.”

At this time, a faint voice came over.

“Who’s there? Guards!”

Duke Lester reacted swiftly, clutching the hilt at his waist and shouting loudly.

“We… haven’t we met before?”

Next, he saw a cloud of black mist seeping in from the crack in the door, forming a human figure.

“Duke of Black Castle? So… you’re a wizard!”

Duke Lester drew his blue short sword from his waist, “Among the four dukes, only you were concealed the most!”

Although he was somewhat surprised, he wasn’t fearful, as he himself was also a third-tier knight, and besides, he had this marvellous short sword.

It’s called ‘Sting of the Sea’. This is a family heirloom of the Duke of Lester, capable of controlling water flows and casting some ice magic in collaboration with a third-tier knight. It can repel any high-level wizard!

“No… I never hid. Join hands with me. Let’s overthrow the rule of the Westerners and Northerners and bring a new order to the continent.”

Immon said temptingly.

“Sorry… I’m a knight!”

Duke Lester firmly refused, his eyes a bit confused as he gazed at the doorway.

“Your reinforcements won’t arrive.”

Immon sighed, “What a pity…We could have been friends.”

“I’d rather not have a friend like you!”

Duke Lester laughed loudly. His body was wrapped in a fierce silver battle Qi as he swiftly brandished his sword.

Ding!

Amidst the flickering silver light, a touch of blue continued to spread, causing frost to creep over the floor and nearby walls.

In the seemingly frozen aura where everything fades away, Duke Lester lunged swiftly. The short sword bore the attribute of demon breaking and directly pierced into the black mist.

Immon lowered his head, looking at the short sword plunged into his chest, and smiled weirdly:

“Sting of the Sea? A real divine artefact for knights! Unfortunately, you’re against me!”

His body transformed into black mist again, suddenly bursting open and completely enveloping Duke Lester, “Maybe at the time when I was a high-ranking wizard, I couldn’t deal with you. But now… I have reached the peak of wizards, and I’m their ‘king’!”

Hisss!

In the ship’s cabin, screams, explosions, and decay sounds rang out one after another.

Interestingly, from outside, hardly any noise was heard.

Days later, explosive news spread!

Duke Lester ‘died of an illness’ on the road. The fleet of the Eastern Archipelago was thrown into chaos and was opportunistically ambushed and swallowed by the Duke of the South. Countless were captured!

Following the declarations of war by the Dukes of the North and West, the South and East also fell into the flames of war one after another.

The chaos in this region was evidently to continue…

Meteor Forest, Death God Ruins.

In the woods next to it, a hut had appeared at some point. Inside were simple pieces of furniture such as beds, chairs, and a pot.

The simple wooden door creaked open, and Su Lu returned with a basket of wild fruits and vegetables. He put it down casually, took out the small bottle of spices and fine salt, and started cooking simply.

The main course was a unique, four-limbed strong, half-human tall rabbit from the forest.

The taste of its hind legs was quite sumptuous. Sprinkled with salt and spices, it had an irresistible aroma that was both heart-warming and addictive.

Besides that, there was also a local fruit. When boiled, it tasted similar to onion.

Su Lu cut a piece of meat from the rabbit’s hind leg, put it in his mouth, and could feel it melt. It had a rich texture and an ineffable satisfaction.

As the meat slid down his throat, it was as if he was embracing the whole world, which moved him almost to the point of tears.

This was the body’s instinctive reaction when it tasted the epitome of deliciousness.

“Phew…Simple life… seems to be not bad.”

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Lu ‘walked’ to the Death God’s Ruins, arriving at the bottom of the lake where the River of Underworld had existed.

During this time, he fully explored the ruins, risking the many deaths of his shadow clone, and sorted out some relatively safe routes and areas.

At this moment, he was doing his necessary daily ‘XP gathering’.

He picked up an obsidian stone, his skin in direct contact with the stone. Looking at the attribute prompt that appeared in front of him, he then casually threw the stone out of the lake.

Stacks of pebbles and obsidian stones were piled up like little hills in black-white alternation around the edge of the lake.

An immense part of the lake bottom was laid bare under Su Lu’s ‘cleaning’, revealing the soil layer at the very bottom.

‘XP:[6700]’

In the property column, a huge experience value emerged.

“Based on this speed estimate… The amount of ‘stored’ experience within the entire ruins will probably be around fifteen thousand points?”

While Su Lu monotonously worked, he pondered, “As expected, this can only allow me to ‘set foot’ at the door of the legend.”
