Transcendent Dawn

Near the Night King Palace, Coastal Chambo Restaurant.

The restaurant’s coastal-flavored menu is very popular here, along with its elegant, ancient decor and serene environment, it is highly sought after by the empire’s upper class. The reservation for dining has been booked three days in advance.

In front of the restaurant, a beautifully designed carriage was parked, Su Lu, holding a cane with a large gem on the top, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

“Honorable Baron Farrell, you have reserved the ‘Rose’ box, please follow me!”

Upon entering the restaurant, a tailcoat waiter immediately led Su Lu to the private rooms on the second floor.

The whole restaurant has a round three-story structure, in the middle there is a mini music podium, where top-level musicians are playing music all the time.

The lively and melodious music floats inside and outside the hall, making people’s minds unconsciously relax.

‘[Musician]?’

Su Lu glanced and immediately spotted a professional playing the violin.

It’s a rather niche tradition with an ability to disrupt enemies with delightful music and sound waves. In ancient times, it had another name – [Bard]!

This was not his previous mysterious knowledge, but the information automatically extracted from the Spirit World upon seeing the other party.

For Su Lu at this moment, any profession below the sixth rank has no secrets in front of him.

Even if he wanted, he could easily figure out the information needed to become a [Musician].

‘No matter what, it’s quite thoughtful of this restaurant to have a stage-three professional performing here…’

Sitting in the seemingly inset box, with the soft sofa supporting his body, it gave a feeling like one’s whole body would sink into it.

At this time, another beautiful, slightly pointed-eared maid holding a menu approached, “Sir, what would you like to have today? Our restaurant just received a batch of ‘Blue Diamond Lobsters’ from the Dark Continent…”

“Let’s have one of those, you choose the rest of the side dishes, and add a bottle of the Tulip Estate’s wine at the end.”

Su Lu’s gaze lingered on her ears for a moment.

Seemingly noticing the customer’s gaze, the maidservant’s cheeks blushed and she quickened her pace.

“Mixed blood? Elf? Interesting!”

Su Lu chuckled softly in his heart, “Interesting to see such a mixed-race transcendent in the Imperial Capital, the Dark Continent huh? I should visit it after this incident is over.”

Compared to the White Eagle Federation, which only sends out some exploration teams, the Chris Empire’s development on the Dark Continent is more in-depth and it is said that they have established stable colonial communities and are planning to set up provinces.

The dispute over the first governor has begun to emerge in the Night King Palace.

Of course, this is also related to the huge investment of Emperor Antonio Caesar.

‘In fact… isn’t Shewinado also on the Dark Continent?’

Su Lu showed a thoughtful look.

The Lord of Madness, after years of recovery, is an entity that cannot be ignored.

After all, an incarnation or projection is certainly no match for a real God!

“And Shewinado has been delaying his visit to the Star Realm… is it because he’s waiting for the dramatic change in the Chris Empire? He’s traded with Antonio Caesar, and he should have a clear idea of what this emperor is thinking…”

“Maybe in his view, this is a great opportunity to hit the enemy? It is for me too…”

Even if Su Lu becomes a God, he doesn’t want to charge and trap himself, such things can be handled by the Chris Empire.

If there is a chance to attack the Church of the Goddess of Light, he won’t let it go.

‘The foundation of the Seven Major Orthodox Churches… they definitely have a lot of six-rank professionals, possibly even demigod-artifacts or real god-artifacts? They can even pray for the arrival of the gods at critical moments?’

‘But… that’s all there is.’

‘There are many worlds that the gods can pay attention to, the energy invested in each world is limited, if the losses are too great, they are likely to cut their losses…’

‘However, I can’t be sure, so I need a pawn to probe the reaction of the gods.’

‘It seems that I’m once again on the same side as the Evil Gods? There’s a chance that I might even collaborate with Shewinado this time?’

As Su Lu thought about this, he suddenly felt it was somewhat amusing.

He had always prided himself on being a model young man with principles, but why did it feel like his path was straying further and further astray?

“Sir, your meal.”

About ten minutes later, a female waitress pushed the serving cart next to Su Lu and uncovered the silver cover.

Heat and a fragrant aroma wafted out, and at its center was a considerable blue lobster.

Besides that, there was an ample array of side dishes and a full-bodied wine.

Su Lu was very satisfied with this meal.

While he was holding a glass rod, savoring wine and dessert after the meal, his eyes suddenly moved, focusing on a certain point in the void.

‘I seem to smell the scent of a demon… Sacreid is really chaotic now, even having a meal could lead to an encounter with a demon’s kin.’

However, this was not entirely accurate.

The concealment ability of the demon’s kin is powerful, barely noticeable to anyone who isn’t a professional [Demon Hunter].

Moreover, Sacreid has undoubtedly become the center of a massive storm in the Mysterious Realm, attracting a lot of attention and scrutiny.

The presence of a demon’s kin is not unusual at all.

Moreover, the other party is very careful and holds a high rank, they should possess methods like ‘Spirit World Traversal.’

Su Lu had not really seen the demon’s kin but sensed the wave from the Spirit World, as well as a hint of demon’s breath.

‘A demon, huh?’

Just like the Goddess of Light, this was also a target that Su Lu had paid close attention to.

After some thought, he immediately got up, paid the bill, left the restaurant, and got into a carriage.

“Master, are we going home?”

The coachman in the front asked.

“No… just follow my instructions.”

Su Lu’s muffled voice rang out.

The wheels of the carriage rolled on the streets and lanes of Sacreid, finally stopping at a huge campus gate.

The coachman immediately recognized the place; it was where Bru Farrell, the young master of the Farrell Family, was studying – Blue Bridge University, he couldn’t help but ask, “Master, shall I inform the young master?”

‘So it’s here, the wave and the demonic breath I was sensing from the Spirit World final led me here…’

Su Lu got out of the carriage, waved his hand: “No need, you go back.”

He walked through the school gate, entering the most famous institution of the Chris Empire, deeply thoughtful.

Compared to the White Eagle Federation, the Chris Empire’s education seems to lag in all aspects. Primary education is fine, but from middle school to university, tuition fees are extremely high, apart from a small number of highly noteworthy students who can get scholarships, other ordinary family students either use their primary graduation certificates for regular jobs, or could only go to vocational schools to become skilled workers and screws of the empire.

In the Chris Empire, admission to a first-class university is not only about grades but also about family background; discrimination based on bloodline is everywhere.
