Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in wonder.
'A true advanced tier soldier is really different.'
'Lu Chong can't compare at all in the amount of skills owned.'
"Welcome to Blazing Sun City."
"I'm Zhou Zhou, lord of the city."
He introduced himself to the human.
"My lord." Jeremy bowed in greeting.
"Hui Teng, led him to the Hall of Truth and tell him about the city."
Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes, my lord."
Hui Teng said before leading Jeremy to the Hall of Truth while bringing him up to date on the ins and outs of the city.
"Now, for the elves."
Zhou Zhou muttered as a notification appeared in front of him.
[Do you want to summon your subjects?]
"Yes."
He answered as the white portal in front of him glowed for a second before releasing a total of 13 elves that were placed under mental control as soon as they stepped out.
They were all wearing emerald green military equipment, roughly the same way as Nadia, Eve and the other wood elves in the time ruin.
Bows at their back and short swords at their waists.
The outfit looked lively.
"Put down the others, leave this one."
Speaking to Bai Yung, he pointed at the elf with the highest potential as well as the highest strength level among the thirteen.
"Yes, my lord."
Bai Yung acknowledged before piercing through the defenseless elves.
Everything came to an end in less than 4 seconds, revealing the horrifying speed of an intermediate grade white silver-tier soldier.
Clearing the unpleasant scene by pulling the corpses of the elves into his spatial ring, Zhou Zhou released the elf with the high potential.
Just as he was about to check out more information on her, she asked him a question.
"Excuse me; did anyone else exit from the gate?"
Surprised at the question, Zhou Zhou never expected the elf to know the other summons.
Quickly answering before Bai Yung gives something away by his expression, he said.
"You're the only one I summoned. No one else is coming."
"That's... It seems I was mistaken, I'm sorry."
Monica said after a moment of confusion.
"It's alright. Welcome to Blazing Sun City."
"I'm Zhou Zhou, lord of the city."
Keeping a smile on his face, Zhou Zhou said to Monica.
"It's an honor, my lord."
Monica said with a bow.
Quickly taking in her information, Zhou Zhou saw the following:
[Subject: Monica]
[Soldier Type: Elemental archer (wood)]
[Strength Level: Green bronze-tier intermediate grade]
[Bloodline: Wood elf bloodline]
[Skills: Diamond-tier advance grade tree of life meditation technique, Green bronze-tier intermediate grade - advance tier (wood elemental control, elemental archery (wood), charged shot, five consecutive shots, poison blood arrow, silent arrow skill, wood vine strangle arrow, agility technique, invisibility technique)]
[Loyalty: 72]
[Potential: Diamond-tier intermediate grade]
Reading through the information, he was amazed at the scale at which the elven race surpassed the human race.
'Luckily I have my lord talents... Or should I say the Supreme Will.'
'In order for It to choose a lord of all races amongst us, It must give us some perks that would help us lord over every race.'
He thought before looking at Monica.
Hesitant of his thought, he shook his head after a while.
'Using it on her now wouldn't change anything. She should prove herself worthy of being a hero by acquiring a kingdom tier skill.'
Having made his decision, he took out the alchemist recruitment book, and threw it into the gate of summoning.
Soon, a green-skinned gnome walked out.
Welcoming the new subject and introducing himself, Zhou Zhou nodded at her response while he checked out her interface information.
[Subject: Peggy Orlena]
[Life Profession: Alchemy pharmacist]
[Profession Class: White silver-tier elementary grade]
[Skills: Talent (academic genius, apothecary), black iron-tier elementary grade potential advancement potion, White silver-tier elementary grade (life potion, energy potion)]
[Loyalty: Dead Loyal]
[Potential: Diamond-tier elementary grade]
'The potion level is so low.'
'And it doesn't seem like she can provide one of a high level.
'I should try asking her before concluding.'
Gazing at the potential advancement potion, he mused as he thought of the higher ranked one in his spatial ring.
"Is there a possibility of obtaining a higher-level potential advancement potion or formula?"
He asked the gnome.
"The potential advancement potion is the most difficult to research and obtain among countless potions."
"There are only black iron-tier ones even in the collection of the Gnome kingdom's alchemy association."
"I don't know where we can find a higher-level potential advancement potion or the corresponding formula either."
Peggy winced and then apologized.
Zhou Zhou shook his head, feeling that it was a pity.
However, he was not too disappointed.
It was just one avenue of acquiring a chance of advancing the potential of his soldiers after all.
"Bai Yung, take her to Ashburn and Monica to the Hall of Truth."
He said to his soldier.
"Yes, my lord."
Bai Yung bowed in acknowledgement before taking the ladies away.
Looking at the sky to calculate the time, Zhou Zhou gave a response to his action a couple of seconds later.
Seven hours remaining before the day gets dark; I should be able to head to Kunt City and back before then with Nezario's help.
Getting stopped on his way to his lord's courtyard, he received an expectant message.
...
"My lord, there's someone from a foreign race standing outside the protective barrier saying that it wants to join the territory!"
Bai Yung's voice came from outside.
When Zhou Zhou heard these familiar words, he immediately reacted.
The talent attracted by reputation rating was here!
Walking towards the peripheral of the city with Bai Yung, he arrived to see a being wearing a black armor with shades of red in between.
A helmet shaped like the head of a dragon laid seated on its head and face.
And scales lined the uncovered parts of its skin.
"Dragon knight, Aegon Targaryen greets, my lord."
Aegon placed his fist on his chest as he bowed.
"I heard from my subordinate that you want to join my territory?"
Zhou Zhou asked.
"Yes, my lord!"
"I was drawn here subconsciously, but after arriving, I finally figured out why."
"The scent of a dragon permeates the air. And it's one that isn't in companionship with any dragon knight."
"Allow me to serve you, my lord, and to aid in the growth of your dragon."
The Targaryen stared at Zhou Zhou earnestly.
[Aegon Targaryen requests to join your territory and become your subject. Do you agree?]
'He can enter a contract with Nezario and become companions... How powerful would that make Nezario?'
Trying to understand Aegon's words, Zhou Zhou was silent for an entire 10 seconds before giving a response.
"Welcome to Blazing Sun City."
He said, accepting Aegon's request.
"It's an honor, my lord."
Aegon bowed once more.
Looking at his personal information, Zhou Zhou saw the following:
[Subject: Aegon Targaryen]
[Soldier Type: Dragon Knight]
[Strength Level: White silver-tier advance grade]
[Bloodline: Berserk dragon knight bloodline]
[Skills: Legendary-tier advance grade soul contract, Yellow gold-tier elementary grade - divine-tier (dragon bloodline amplification, dragon breath amplification, dragon might amplification, berserk dragon, my last wish)]
[Loyalty: 89]
[Potential: Legendary-tier advance grade]
