Chapter 34: Prepare to Leave the Simon Empire

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“Sigh, the Simon Empire is becoming more and more chaotic.”

Lorca and the others all sighed. After all, they were citizens of the Simon Empire and were nobles. They all had strong feelings and a sense of identity towards the Simon Empire.

However, the changes in the Simon Empire over the years had made them very disappointed.

On the other hand, Lugh pretended to be surprised.

But in his heart, he was already bursting with joy.

The queen, this old witch, had finally discovered that her private vault had been taken. Lugh had originally thought that the queen would grit her teeth and endure it. He had not expected her reaction to be so intense. Those who did not know would have thought that the queen was alone in a room with a super strong man

“I’ve decided to head to the Xi Zhao Empire tomorrow. There’s not much time left before the academy’s assessment,” Lorca personally sighed and said to everyone.

“Oh, tomorrow?

“It just so happens that I didn’t know where to travel to either, so I’ll go to the Xi Zhao Empire with you guys to take a look,” he said with a smile.

With someone accompanying him to leave the Simon Empire, it wouldn’t be so eye-catching.

“Alright!”

When Lorca heard that Lugh would be going with them, he couldn’t be happier. “It just so happens that we can accompany each other on the way.”

“I’m going too,” Rexton smiled and said, “Although I don’t have much of a chance, I still want to give it a try. It’ll be good to visit the Xi Zhao Empire as well.”

Right now, the Simon Empire was in turmoil.

No one wanted to stay any longer.

“I’m going too.”

A lot of people agreed with him.

Although the rune school recruited less than 500 people each year, hundreds of thousands of people went to the rune school to take the assessment every year. As long as they were under the age of 18, they could attempt to enter the school.

They knew that there was no hope.

But they still wanted to give it a try. What if they passed the test?

Would that be a huge profit?

Even if they couldn’t pass the test, it would be good to see the sacred rune land in their hearts. At the very least, they wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste.

After agreeing on a time, they all waved goodbye and went home to prepare the items on the way.

Vivienne smiled and said, “Young master thirteen, although the journey to the Xi Zhao Empire isn’t far, it’s still a few days journey. Don’t you need to prepare anything? For example, buy some horses or buy some servants and female slaves?”

“Female slaves?”

Lugh was surprised. There are female slaves in this world?

Vivienne saw Lugh’s puzzled look and said softly, “They are the children of nobles or commoners who have committed crimes. These people are slaves. Slaves can only marry slaves, and the children they give birth to are still slaves. They will be slaves for generations…”

“If they are bought by someone, it would be the beginning of their lucky life.”

Vivienne said softly, “The young lady at the front desk of the Dawn Inn used to be a slave. She was bought by the Dawn family and became a maid.

“As you are from the battlefield of the heavens, it’s normal that you don’t know about this. After all, the nine nations are different from the battlefield of the heavens.”

Only then did Lugh understand.

So a female slave was also known as a maid.

Lugh had seen this kind of thing quite a few times. There were quite a few wealthy people, but which family didn’t have a maid?

“We’ll see,” he replied with a smile.

Now he didn’t need to buy a maid. Even if he went to buy one, he would have to condense a rune that could keep them loyal.

Since last night, when he had seen Camia betrayed by the personal maid she had grown up with, he had developed a sense of wariness in his heart.

It was not as easy and carefree as when he had just arrived in this world.

This was not a game. He could still start over after he died.

This world had powerful individual forces, as well as forces that surpassed human rights. There were all sorts of schemes. If he was not careful, even if he had the help of the system, he would still die.

Moreover, he had many secrets.

He had no intention of having handmaidens when he could not guarantee the loyalty of these people.

Hearing what Lugh said, Vivienne didn’t say anything else and left after saying goodbye.

Lugh read some books in the library again. At first, it was quite interesting. After all, he needed to learn about this world, but he found that most of these books were books of basic common sense, the information was very limited.

These books could no longer satisfy his needs. He needed more profound knowledge.

In terms of profound knowledge, the runic academy definitely had the most complete books.

Moreover, Lugh felt that he was also very shallow in the use of runes. If he entered the runic academy to study, perhaps his strength would rise to a terrifying level.

Rune school, why don’t I give it a try?

Thinking of this, he was delighted. He had only become a rune-master a few days ago.

Would he have a chance to pass the student assessment?

If it was a test of strength, he wouldn’t dare to say anything else. At the very least, his current influence was much stronger than Camia’s.

If she had a high chance of passing the assessment, why wouldn’t he be able to?

But he was afraid that the test wasn’t about strength.

He would still be tested on some common knowledge or some knowledge that he had never heard of before, so he was helpless.

But no matter what, the rune school was his best choice.

Whether he could succeed or not, he would try.

If he couldn’t, he could just treat it as seeing the sacred land of runes.

There wasn’t much time left for the test, so he had to make some preparations.

He had to condense more runes. Condensing runes could increase his strength. If it was a strength assessment, his chances of passing would be much higher.

After leaving the library and returning to his room, Lugh checked his surroundings, closed the doors and windows, and prepared to condense runes.
