Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 485 364: The Mysterious Evil [1/2]

Richard continued to stroll around the bustling area after he left the Red Dragon General Store.

He felt sparingly strange as he watched the various people walk past him amidst the noise.

He wouldn't know when such a scene would appear in Twilight City.

It was a long way to go.

Richard turned to Rebecca after he enjoyed the atmosphere for a moment.

He looked at the young lady while she pondered and said slowly,

"Rebecca, have you heard of Peim before you came?"

A demigod who could survive after he lost his heart was simply a myth and legend.

Furthermore, the other party had a glorious divine artifact… He would probably be a guest of honor for the kings of various empires if such a person had not lost his heart.

Rebecca shook her head.

"The primary plane is too big. There are countless powerful and mysterious existences like Sir Peim.

"Besides, this is not the Ice Empire..."

Richard fell silent.

The "Glorious Era" was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

The natives had existed for an unknown amount of time, and the players at the current stage of the game could not compare to them.

Richard inexplicably felt a sense of relief at the thought of this. Fortunately, Twilight City was deep in the desert and had a natural barrier from the outside world.

There was no need to worry about clashing with these terrifying forces when they were weak.

He slowly said after a while.

"What do you think of Peim?"

Anticipation immersed Rebecca's tone.

"His majesty must have been astonishingly powerful at his peak.

No one could compete with me for the position of the Frostwolf family heir if I can have the power to kill the ancient red dragon…"

He turned to Richard, her eyes serious.

"Lord Richard, going to the temple to retrieve the heart of a god will be far more dangerous than you can imagine.

"Please, reconsider if you don't have absolute confidence…

"The potential of Twilight City is unlimited. You don't need to take the risk yourself."

Her limpid eyes glowed with a subtle light that was difficult for outsiders to understand after a short pause.

"Some of my plans can be put into practice immediately once I get the fur of the fire dragon rabbit. By then, I'll control more resources of the family.

"I'll use this opportunity to find a Contract Scroll for you."

Richard looked at the girl's grave gaze.

He felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

This eldest daughter of a noble family with an exceptional background had a good character.

He nodded slowly.

"Don't worry. I've already made arrangements for this matter. If I'm not sure, I won't take the risk."

Rebecca looked at how serious his reply to her was. And she felt happy for some reason.

He didn't say anything else. Richard wasn't an impulsive person judging from their interactions.

Richard asked as if he had thought of something,

"Rebecca, where can I buy glorious armor in the Black Market?"

His purpose was to buy armor for Xina.

The dark valkyrie had brought her full-body armor. It had impressive defensive power and could repair itself automatically, so he didn't need to prepare anything.

Rebecca was all smiles as she glanced at Xina beside her.

Grand Duke Solan's shop might have the equipment that Miss Xina needs.

"Grand Duke Solan?" Richard was curious about the title.

"That's right, the ruler of Solan City, a legendary ascetic."

Respect immersed Rebecca's eyes when she said this.

He exclaimed.

"Grand Duke Solan has already reached level 29 two years ago. He is only one step away from becoming a demigod.

"It's admirable that an ascetic can become a legend."

"Ascetic is a very rare profession?"

It was the first time Richard had heard of this profession.

Rebecca was stunned. It was like she didn't expect him to miss the news about this.

She immediately explained as she thought of his identity as the Lord of Grace Mainland.

"No, ascetics aren't rare. It's just an advanced level for warriors, and you can choose it after level 10.

"However, not many warriors will change their profession to become ascetics. It was not difficult to change but to level up after becoming an ascetic.

"Ascetics can't wear armor or use weapons. They can only fight with their physical bodies.

"I'll have to increase the strength of my body first if I want to level up. I can only level up after I've reached a certain strength level.

"That's why you can often see ascetics go to terrifying places to sharpen themselves, fighting magical beasts with their bare hands.

"This kind of suffering is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"However, such hard work has allowed every ascetic to have a body comparable to a dragon of the same level.

"What's even more ridiculous is that the ascetics can fight four or five heroes of the same level alone.

"It's not a legend for them to hunt dragons with their bare hands.

"As for the legendary ascetics... I can't imagine how terrifying it is. I'm afraid that Grand Duke Solan can use his body to resist the dragon's breath. Entering the lava naked might not feel like taking a hot bath."

"My father once said that the ascetics are one of the most powerful existences above transcendent."

Richard lost his thoughts.

He noted down this profession.

He had to be more careful if he encountered ascetics in the future.

Those who were ruthless to themselves were not weak.

He would not go at the very least if they asked him to take off his equipment and fight with ferocious beasts with bare hands.

"Then let's go to the Grand Duke's Chamber of Commerce and check. I wonder if we can see the elegant demeanor of the legendary ascetic."

Rebecca pursed her lips and smiled.

"The Solan Chamber of Commerce is managed by Duke Solan's daughter, Her Highness Christy. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet her.
