My mouth twitched, “Master, please be more dignified. I came to Dragon City looking for Frost for a job advancement….”
Da Lin nodded, “Frost is on the observation deck of Dragon City, go find her yourself!”
“Ok!”
With a shout, I called down a chain from the top of the wall. I grabbed it with a single hand, and lightly climbed up to the top. Within 3 to 2 minutes, I reached the top as flurries of snowflakes flew around the area. This place snowed four seasons a year. A few Dragon City warriors were swinging enormous brooms to brush away the snow which caused big blocks of snow and ice to tumble down from the wall.
On the observation deck, Frost’s lone body stood at the edge of the deck, her hand resting on Severing Beauty as she stared into the distant night sky.
I silently walked up to her, “What’s wrong? Are you thinking about something else again?”
Frost didn’t look back at me and only smiled, “It’s nothing, I’m just thinking. Now that Dragon City has reinforcements from Ba Huang City, our army has at least 200,000 men. Right now, Dragon City can be considered to have a well-trained army. I’m deciding what our next steps should be….”
“Guard Dragon City, and block any invasions from the North?”
“Maybe….”
I stared at Frost, “In the past, Dragon City was short on resources, even eating was a struggle. But now, why are you suddenly worried again? You…. what exactly are you worried about?”
Frost bit her lip, “I just feel like…. Now that Lord Luo Lin has returned to Duke Luo Lei’s side, and the fact that he’s such a loving father, and now that he has such a beautiful sister like Angela, maybe…. maybe he doesn’t need us underlings anymore….”
I took a deep breath, “Are you jealous of Luo Lin right now?”
Frost jolted, “I……I…. don’t think I am?”
“You sure?”
I smiled, “It doesn’t matter. No matter who is by Luo Lin’s side, I will always follow you. After all, you are my master. Come on now, I’ve brought all of the things Dragon City needs. You should tell me what I need to do to get a promotion.”
I fished out the 1000 pieces of wild boar meat and wild pheasant meat, and then took out another 10,000 G. At the moment, Frost giggled, “Oh. Alright…Dragon City can eat meat for a few more days…..”
After taking my tribute, Frost muttered for a second, and finally said, “I discussed this with Lord Luo Lin. If you want to become one of the valiant Guardians of Dragon City, you have to undergo a difficult test. It’s like this, Southwest of Ba Huang City, there’s a piece of fertile land that has been named “Wan Qing Land” by the people of Ba Huang City. That piece of land is also Ba Huang City’s storage space. It’s where most of the rations for the Seven Great Armies come from. However, as of late, a large group of monsters suddenly invaded the land. Not only did they knock over all of the corn, yams, and plants, they also killed a lot of the sentinels there. These monsters have been extremely hard to deal with, even the Seven Great Armies had no idea what to do. I’ll leave this task to you. You have to kill at least two Emperor Tier magical creature BOSS-es. After that, go kill the leader of these BOSS-es, “Lei Qian”. Once you have completed these tasks, you’ll be promoted!”
*Sara note:[Wan Qing Land 万顷良田: a vast agricultural field, or literally 10,000qing agricultural land][1 qing is 6.67 hectares]
“Ding!”
System Notification: You have received S ranked quest [Kill Lei Qian]!
Quest Objective: Continue towards the fertile lands southwest of Ba Huang city and kill at least 2 Emperor Tier BOSSes. In addition, you need to find the mastermind pulling the strings – Summoner of the Dark Void, Lei Qian. Kill Lei Qian, bring his head back to Dragon City and hand it to Frost. Once completed, you will have passed your 4th Job Advancement quest.
Quest received! Time to set out!
After saying goodbye to Frost, I fished out a City Return Scroll, “shua” and was immediately returned to Ba Huang City. I ran straight southwest from there. The army’s storage area isn’t too far from Ba Huang City, at most it would take 20 minutes for me to get there. I joined a party with the little miss Cang Tong and the map immediately displayed her location. She was already at the border of Fan Shu City and Ba Huang City.
“Wu…..” The beautiful little miss smiled, “you want me to just find you?”
“Yup.” I grinned, “I’ve already received my fourth advancement quest. Wan Er, you’re already Lv 79, how much more until you level up?”
“13%”
“Great! If you accompany me in killing this quest’s BOSS, it should be just enough to level up. At the same time I’ll help you finish your promotion quest too.”
“OK OK! I’ll be there soon!”
“Ok!”
