Chapter 279: Chapter 228: Detailed Intelligence of the Fourth-Tier Lord Level Mission!

For a moment, the entire arena buzzed with discussion.

These sophomore students were not unreasonable; the outcome of the competition in the arena had been clear to them ever since Lord Zi summoned over three hundred Bone Dragon Boss Legion.

In a room at the Dragon Academy arena.

“How about it? With this combat power, Zi the youngster can already crush most of the academy’s students or teachers, right? He should be considered to have passed the academy’s inspection, shouldn’t he?”

An old man, holding a jug of wine, spoke as he poured the liquor into his mouth, yet his eyes were filled with appreciation and satisfaction as he watched Zi Liyuan on the arena’s stage.

“Another Demon King worth betting on, I agree to lift his restrictions, but as for the Undead Calamity, we still need to observe the aftermath.”

Around the wine-drinking elder, exactly four single sofas were placed, with each one occupied by an elderly figure. They were the true top administrators of Dragon Academy.

The one speaking was a bald elder, whose enormous frame made him look like a meatball squeezed into a single sofa.

“The military department’s guess, I believe everyone has seen it, Zi the youngster has a heaven-defying luck attribute. A Necromancer favored by the goddess of luck, truly unique. I also agree to remove his restrictions.”

Another voice chimed in from an elder dressed in traditional Chinese garments, his dense white hair covering half of his face, giving him the look of a stylish elder.

“This brat always keeps cards close to his chest. Why don’t we use lifting his restrictions to test him?”

Spoke an elder with a large pipe in his mouth and squinty eyes.

“Old Smokey, how else do you plan to test him?”

An elder woman, who had been silent thus far, put down her mirror and eyebrow pencil and spoke while arching her attractive white eyebrow.

“Test the brat to see just how many [Hearts of the Lord] he has managed to fleece from the military department, it will also show just how astounding his luck attribute is.”

Old Smokey took a puff from his pipe, speaking calmly.

“That’s a good idea.”

“The higher the luck value, the more resources one can gain in the Sea of Realms and the less likely to be targeted by the Evil God, reducing the rate of corruption, I support the test!”

“Against the billions of species in the Sea of Realms, all targeting Necromancers, a high luck value can increase his survival rate, let’s pry a bit more.”

“Old Smokey, tell us how you plan to test him.”

The elder woman once again picked up her mirror and started to trace her eyebrows.

“It’s simple, give him the detailed information about the Necromancer’s Fourth Order Lord-level job change quest.

Then lift the restrictions on the brat, including those on the Undead Calamity.

For the key exchange items needed for the quest, we’ll change the requirements to [Lord’s Heart] plus a small amount of Contribution Value.

Just by seeing whether he uses a large number of [Hearts of the Lord], we can roughly judge his luck attribute.”

After finishing his unhurried explanation, Old Smokey took a few more puffs on his pipe, while his eyes swept across the other elderly men and women.

“This method isn’t bad, but it seems a bit unfair to screw Zi the youngster over like this, doesn’t it?”

“Since the martial trial, he has schemed against the Evil Organization, severing many of the Coalition of Nations’ trained hounds; they’ve become increasingly rabid.

Many mid to high-level monster nests have appeared near the borders of the Great Xia Empire, leading to over a hundred attacks.

The Coalition of Nations has ignored all diplomatic entanglements, warnings, and deterrence, so we have to solve these problems ourselves.

The abundance of high-level monster nests doesn’t just tie up a massive amount of imperial military forces, but it also leaves local garrisons vulnerable.

After clearing out the nests, a large number of [Hearts of the Lord] are required for purification to eliminate hidden dangers.

These [Hearts of the Lord] are not consumed in small quantities. If Zi the youngster has many stored away, we can exactly lure them out.

At worst, the Great Xia Empire’s authority can offer more compensation, such as the Sea of Realms resources obtained after eradicating the monster nests.”

“It’s not unreasonable. Hoarding a large number of [Hearts of the Lord] is also a waste of resources. Having him exchange more for Sea of Realms resources would be beneficial.”

Considering Zi Liyuan’s circumstances, in a year or two at most, he will enter the Sea of Realms to establish himself. It’s time to start stockpiling some basic Sea of Realms resources.”

“Sigh, once this brat completes the Lord Level fourth turn quest, the academy is likely to have another Demon King on its hands.”

“A single person’s presence overshadowing an era, it’s truly pitiful for his contemporaries. However, they should feel fortunate that such a freak can carry the brunt of the pressure at the forefront in the Sea of Realms.”

“How is the Demon King’s development now?”

“Still at a stalemate with the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, those Gold-Tail Rats would prefer to surrender their territory to the bloody invaders of the Coalition of Nations rather than let the people of the Great Xia Empire survive.”

At this point, a few of the elders’ faces turned somewhat ugly.

“If it weren’t for the need to expand territory, requiring us to fight and compete against billions of other species, leading to severe attrition, we really wouldn’t want to send people into the braided court’s territory.”

The elders, all of whom were over a hundred years old, had lived through that dark era.

When it comes to the Wild Boar Skins, the disgust on their faces remained visibly intense.

In that era, the Wild Boar Skins nearly brought the Great Xia Empire’s nine provinces to utter ruin.

If not for the decisive and immediate action of the four ancient dynasties in the Sea of Realms, paying a tremendous price to descend upon Blue Star.

Supporting Great Xia when it was on the verge of collapse, it would have likely faced the catastrophe of extinction.

It was the drag of the Wild Boar Skins that led to the four ancient dynasties suffering significant losses, causing them to switch from offense to defense over the past century, entering a period of recuperation.
