Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘He was right!’

‘Indeed, a young man’s brain worked faster.’ Elrond thought Emerson helped him figure out the connection.

“It looks like the answer to the riddle hasn’t been solved yet.”

Elrond’s wrinkled face had a hint of admiration. He looked at Emerson and said, “Brat, are you willing to help the Indigo Empire solve this riddle?”

As he spoke, he saw Emerson’s awful expression and hurriedly continued, “Of course, we will not mistreat you. I can promise you that as long as you bring out any item from the testing space, you can go to the storehouse and choose an item that you need.”

“Really?” Emerson’s eyes immediately lit up.

That was the city lord’s storehouse. It must be full of stuff in there.

There were still 3 spaces in the testing place that he did not go to. In other words, he could choose any 3 treasures in the storehouse.

It was much better than his adventure in the dark forest. It was easy for Emerson, and the rewards were great.


It just so happened that Emerson urgently needed to raise his strength, so he immediately agreed.

“Since that’s the case, Emerson, then you should prepare well for the next few days. When you want to come over, let me know.”

Elrond nodded in satisfaction and put the paper close to his body. Then, he took out a token and placed it in Emerson’s hand. He said, “With this, you can freely enter and exit the city lord’s mansion.”

“Okay, Grandpa Elrond.” Emerson put away the token.

Elrond patted him on the shoulder and walked out. Halfway out, he seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and said, “There’s a banquet in the city lord’s mansion tonight. If you want to get to know more people, come and take a look.”

After that, Elrond left.

Emerson was stunned for a moment before he shook his head.

“Grandpa Elrond… Don’t tell me you want to do something to me?”

Only famous and well known people were able to attend Elrond’s banquet.

Why did Elrond invite Emerson to his banquet?

The middle-aged man who was chased out returned at that time. When he saw Emerson who was thinking about something, he smiled and said, “What are you thinking about?”

Emerson came back to his senses. “Nothing. Oh right, when can I get my identity card?”

“It’ll be ready in 3 days. You can leave an address for me. I’ll send someone to deliver it to your doorstep.” The middle-aged man gave him a small privilege.

Emerson was able to attract the attention of Grandpa Elrond. Moreover, he was the second all-rounded genetic warrior in the history of the Indigo Empire. His future would definitely be bright. The middle-aged man had to curry favor with him as soon as possible.

“Thank you, then.”

Emerson thanked him and left.

In the end, Emerson bumped into a person at the entrance.

Both of them were stunned. The man was surprised by Emerson’s strange attire. As for Emerson, he was too lazy to bother with others. After apologizing to the man, he left.

The man patted his shoulder where he had been hit and turned around to walk into the testing area.

“You’re the Count’s attendant!” The middle-aged man recognized the man at once.

The man who came over was the Count’s attendant.

He took out a portrait from his pocket and showed the middle-aged man. “Do you have any information about this person? His name is Emerson Cole.”

“He just passed the test and left. May I ask what is the matter, sir?”

The attendant’s pupils constricted as he rushed out of the garrison without saying anything.

However, there were people coming and going on the street, and he could no longer see Emerson.

“Damn it!”

Iron City. The city lord’s mansion.

“That’s about it.”

Elrond stood in front of a screen of light with a cautious look. He even bent his waist slightly, looking extremely respectful.

It was hard to imagine that the city lord of Iron City would be so respectful when facing somebody else.

Not long after, a male voice came from the screen of light.

“What do you plan to do?”

Just by listening to the voice, one could feel the power contained within.

“Sir Duke, I think that we should seal off the news and then secretly bring Emerson Cole to the Imperial Capital to be nurtured. We can combine him with the royal bloodline and continue to have a stronger genetic bloodline.”

Elrond and the middle-aged man in the testing center had similar thoughts. Emerson was like a treasure that could be used to replicate high quality genes. Only when he was used to carry on the family line could his value be maximized.

“He’s just a child who came out of the slums, right?” The Duke asked Elrond.

Elrond sighed. “Sir Duke, I feel that we shouldn’t consider the issue of identity at this time. Currently, Emerson is the only warrior who possesses all-rounded genes. If we don’t control him properly now, he might head to another country, and it would definitely be our loss…”

“Elrond.”

The Duke called out and stopped Elrond from speaking.

After that, his voice suddenly became low, solemn and unquestionable.

“What you are thinking is too one-sided.”

“Emerson obtained an SSS rating during the test. This is enough to prove that he has genes comparable to the first generation genetic warriors.”

“Such a person will 1 day become the strongest existence on Blue Planet.”

“You just said it yourself. Emerson grew up in the slums, so he must have experienced countless hardships. He’s absolutely self-reliant, independent, and has a strong will of his own.”

“If we try to treat him like a canary in a cage, it’ll only arouse his disgust.”

“What we need to do is to nurture him, not restrain him. Do you understand?”

Elrond hesitated for a moment and answered, “But… if he unfortunately dies while getting stronger, then..

“Then we can only blame our Indigo Empire for not being blessed.”

The Duke continued, “This is not just my idea, it is also Your Majesty’s idea.”

Elrond immediately kept quiet. In front of the Indigo Empire’s ruler, he should not have any objections.

Perhaps there was another reason, but the Duke did not say it. It was very likely because Elrond was not qualified to know.

“Alright, that’s it. I have another thing to tell you.” The Duke’s voice sounded again.

“Yes?”


“Your Majesty’s little princess, Green Tifa left a message saying that she wanted to go for an adventure. 2 days ago, she secretly ran out of the Imperial Capital. Recently, she has arrived in your territory. Pay attention.”

Elrond had a headache. Although Green Tifa was a little princess and did not have a high rank, her ability to torment people was spread throughout the entire Indigo Empire.

She really had a bad reputation.

She ran away from home for the first time when she was 8 years old. After she was kidnapped and sold to another country by human traffickers, she successfully outsmarted the human traffickers.

In the end, not only did she mess up the black market over there, but she also caused the wicked human traffickers wanted to hunt her down.

However, when the secret agents sent by the Indigo Empire found her, she was still enjoying herself in the tavern, eating meat and drinking fruit juice.

Furthermore, the human trafficker was in the taverns too. However, they did not harm her.

After asking, it turned out that she had acknowledged the owner of the tavern as her father, and the owner of the tavern happened to be a noble. When the human traffickers saw the little girl calling out for her father, they did not dare to make a move at all.

It was hard to imagine that it was something that a noble princess who had received royal etiquette would do.

The princess had done it more than once, from the age of 8 to 18 years old, she did not waste a moment of her life at all.
