At noon the next day, Wang Lu and the others arrived at Dragon City. Thousands of miles away, they arrived in the blink of an eye.
When they set off from Golden Flash Town, Dragon City Master Bedivere transformed into a more than one hundred meters long dragon. He carried everyone on his back, soared into the sky, and then led them forward with the speed of a dragon.
Taking the famous Dragon City Master of the Western Continent as a mount, this treatment was simply inconceivable. On the dragon's back, the hearts of these newly recruited Dragon City Guards thumped all the way. They didn't dare to breathe loudly, only feeling that they were in a dream.
However, in fact, Bedivere himself didn't care about this at all. He just thought that this was faster.
The Dragon City Guard selection ceremony in Golden Flash Town was not what he wanted. From the beginning to the end, it made him feel sick. Therefore, it was better to end this quickly than anything else. And the three Holy Light priests naturally didn't consider maintaining Bedivere's face. Him being a mount for a group of recruits was also his business. These priests couldn't wait to go back and accept the reward.

When the group of people slowly descended with Bedivere, they all felt a soul-stirring pressure floating in their hearts. It was the faint pressure of the whole city. Dragon City was named after the dragon, and for thousands of years, it had too much connection with the Dragon Race. Today, the whole land was filled with the aura of the Dragon Race. Dragon City was the most magnificent city in Brettonia, the former capital of the Knight King era. But in terms of strength, it was not as good as this ancient city.
Looking at it from the sky, most of the newcomers were just full of joy and excitement. However, for those who were interested, this was a rare opportunity to look at the overall situation.
"The strong are as many as trees in a forest, this Dragon City …" Wang Lu gently narrowed his eyes. In his perception, there were more than fifty high order professions, and there were even more middle order professions. This didn't include the number of strong people who were used to hiding their aura. In Nine Regions, only high-rank sects could compare with such a force.
Aya said, "Yes, and it's obviously a mix of many forces. Dragon City Guards, Holy Light Religion, and other adventurers have gathered here. The number is very large. After more than a hundred years, this city is bigger than ever, even comparable to my Knights of the Round Table. "
When Aya's army was at its peak, there were no more than a hundred high-order professions under her command. Of course, this did not mean that there were only a few high-order professions in the vast land of Brettonia. It was just that most of the strong were accustomed to freedom and would not directly obey the dispatch of the Knight King. The so-called Knight King, to put it simply, was only the strongest force in the land of Brettonia, and not the sole hegemon of the world.
But now, the scale of Dragon City was comparable to the Knight King's Knights of the Round Table. Seeing this, Aya's heart was filled with emotion.
"Unfortunately, although the scale is large, it is like scattered sand." Aya lightly said, "The power of this city has not been integrated."
"That's why we have the opportunity to act. 999 roses, as well as your road to restoring your country, start here."

The new batch of Dragon City Guards soon began their new life in Dragon City.
After the more than thirty people arrived, they immediately gathered in the barracks square. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of Dragon City Guards, they swore allegiance to Dragon City Master Bedivere and Dragon City Archbishop Rowan, and accepted the blessing.
The content of the oath was not harsh, mainly that they must not divulge the method of Dragon City, must not harm the interest of Dragon City, and so on. The binding force of the oath was not strong.
In this regard, Aya found it very strange, because in her time, Dragon City Guards, as the core legion of the kingdom, were notoriously strict in management. How come today, when Dragon City Guards had become Bedivere's private army, the management was relaxed instead? According to this degree of binding force, it was actually very difficult to restrict Dragon City's method from divulging, and the ability to mobilize Dragon City Guards was also limited.
It was no wonder that Dragon City was in a state of disunity.
However, at this time, the loosening of the oath was actually a good thing, so that when the flag of rebellion was raised later, breaking the oath would become a problem.
The oath-taking ceremony was carried out uniformly, and no one was an exception, including Wang Lu. Although in Golden Flash Town, he joined as a gigolo, but now that he was in Dragon City, naturally, they would not take him seriously. They only regarded him as an ordinary Dragon City Guard and allowed him to participate in the oath-taking ceremony. After the oath-taking ceremony, the newcomers, under the leadership of several Dragon City Guard officers, went to the barracks to settle down.
Dragon City Guards received strict military management, but their personal living conditions were quite good. The barracks area where more than two thousand Dragon City Guards lived occupied a quarter of the land of Dragon City. Each Dragon City Guard had an independent living space, which, according to their rank and strength, ranged from a simple single room apartment to a courtyard villa. Clothing, food, housing, and transportation were all well guaranteed. Among them, the Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline had another preferential treatment. They lived in a villa area alone, and as a newcomer, they enjoyed the treatment of a senior guard.
After entering the villa area, everyone settled down and then familiarized themselves with the environment under the guidance of the veterans. And in the process, there was an amazing discovery.
Also living in the villa area, there were many Dragon Clan bloodline that were selected in the previous selection ceremony! Because most of them came from Golden Flash Town, they soon recognized each other and exchanged greetings.
Wang Lu and Aya were surprised. Holy Light Religion had purified the Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline. This was what they heard from the Holy Robe Priest in the King's Treasure House. Later, what they saw in Golden Flash Town seemed to confirm this point: Holy Light Religion gathered the Dragon Clan bloodline in the name of Dragon City, and then sent them to Dragon City to be purified...
Now it seemed that the first few steps were in place, but after the Dragon Clan entered Dragon City, they seemed to be alive and kicking. They didn't lose their arms or legs, and there was no large-scale blood sacrifice.
While the people from Golden Flash Town were exchanging greetings, Wang Lu and Aya quietly listened. They learned that things were indeed very different from what they expected.
The Dragon descendants living in this villa area had joined the Dragon City Guards as early as twenty years ago. During this period, they cultivated cultivation methods, participated in battles, and even married and had children. But no one had ever heard of any bloodline purification …
As for the Dragon Clan who joined earlier? Legend has it that some of them have entered the upper echelons of Dragon City, and some chose to retire and travel around the continent. But in short, they had never heard of any adverse action from Holy Light Religion against these people. On the contrary, these people's view of Holy Light Religion was generally positive.
Was it that these people were too ill-informed? Or had they colluded with Holy Light Religion to conceal the information? Or was the manager of the King's Treasure House just talking nonsense? For the time being, it was unknown.
"In short, it's still valuable to personally enter Dragon City." Aya pondered for a moment. "In any case, we have time, so let's calm down and watch quietly. The truth will eventually surface."
Wang Lu smiled. "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."

For the next three months, Wang Lu and the others lived in Dragon City in an orderly manner.
As a new Dragon City Guard, according to the plan, they must receive strict training in Dragon City in the first few years. Regardless of whether the newcomers have a certain foundation before this, after joining Dragon City, they must start from the beginning. Because in Dragon City's view, the so-called foundation of the newcomers was full of flaws, so it was better to cut it down and re-train.
Of course, if they really have amazing skills, such as when they joined, they were already high order professions, which was naturally different. However, Wang Lu and the others have concealed their strength. At most, they behaved like a beginner profession. Although they were not pure newcomers, they were not worthy of special attention. They also had to start from the beginning.
The basic training level of Dragon City Guard was very high, second to none in the entire Western Continent. In addition to the routine physical training and other basic training, Dragon City soon distributed different methods to each person according to their situation. Wang Lu and the others naturally did not need these methods to practice, but they could refer to the theoretical methods.
Before achieving the King Pill, Wang Lu intended to enrich his knowledge and widely absorb the essence of various knowledge. The power system of the Western Continent was very different from that of the Nine Regions, which was quite wonderful and could not be underestimated.
In these three months, Wang Lu had nothing to do, so he wandered around the barracks area, exchanging methods with people everywhere. These methods that were distributed by Dragon City had no confidentiality requirement, and mutual borrowing was not prohibited. Therefore, Wang Lu quickly collected a large number of methods and carefully studied them. In these three months, although it was not enough for him to have any essential change in his strength, it undoubtedly greatly enriched his knowledge, which laid a good foundation for the great unification of the King Pill in the future.
In addition, after three months, this group of newcomers successfully stimulated the power of their bloodline, became professions, and rapidly strengthened their strength. In these three months, the newcomers rapidly grew from robust blacksmiths, dexterous tailors, and clever innkeeper ladies to powerful fighters who could fight against ten or even more. Among them, the best have successfully manifested the characteristics of the Dragon Race. They have the ability to protect themselves with dragon scales and other abilities, so it was not a problem for them to fight against one hundred people alone.
In this regard, Wang Lu was simply filled with emotion. The same cultivation, the same starting point of ordinary people, how could the cultivation speed of the Western Continent be so much faster than that of the Nine Regions? From the time he entered the Spirit Sword Mountain to the time when he had the fighting power to fight against one hundred people, it took him at least two years. During this period, he also spent a huge amount of resources in the medicinal bath, changing his meridians and washing his marrow. Of course, the cultivation speed of the Lingjian School was the slowest among the Five Uniques. However, even the fastest one, the Royal Soldier Sect, would not let people be reborn in just three months.
"That's normal, the concept of time in the Western Continent and Nine Regions is different." In this regard, Aya, who had a lot of knowledge, explained, "The strengthening speed of the Western Continent profession is obviously faster than the cultivators of Nine Regions, but our lifespan is also much shorter than yours. For example, your Daoist Master King Pill has a lifespan of seven to eight hundred years, but the corresponding high order professions on our side generally only have a lifespan of one hundred and fifty to two hundred years. According to the cultivation speed of the people of Nine Regions, I'm afraid their lifespan would be exhausted before they could reach high order professions. "
Wang Lu was quite curious. "But I think Bedivere is very long-lived. He was your loyal lackey more than one hundred years ago, and now he's still alive and kicking."
"The Dragon Race bloodline has a long lifespan, which is also the most hated point of us. When it comes to power and fighting ability, there are many bloodlines in the continent that are not inferior to the Dragon Race bloodline. However, when it comes to extending lifespan, few can compare with the Dragon Race. However, even Bedivere, who can be regarded as a Deity Stage powerhouse in your Nine Regions, should have a lifespan of more than two thousand years, but in fact, he can only live for one thousand years. Unless he transforms his own life form into a Lich or other undead creature, or like me now … But these are not the right way. "
Wang Lu gently nodded. "The faster you get stronger, the faster you die? That's interesting. "
Aya casually said, "Perhaps it's related to our ecological environment. Since the decline of the Golden Dynasty, the Western Continent has always been at war, and the war is much more frequent than in your Nine Regions. Therefore … under this fast-paced pressure, we have to become stronger faster, because there's not enough time for us to grow slowly. "
"But, it's actually wrong for you to sigh at the fast progress of the newcomers." Aya said and then slightly frowned. "The progress of the newcomers is actually not fast at all. In the early stage of the Bretton Dragon Race bloodline, the progress is very fast, far more than what it is now. In the past few months, the cultivation method that everyone has been practicing is actually … an inferior method. I thought that in order to progress step by step, so we started from a simple beginning. But now, it seems like Bedivere deliberately gave us an inferior method to perfunctory us."
After a pause, Aya continued, "Moreover, I've been in contact with several veterans. Although their strength can't be said to be weak, it's completely not up to the level that they should be. Among them, the oldest one has joined for more than twenty years, yet he has just broken through to the middle order profession. In my time, it's not unusual for talented Dragon descendants like them to advance to high order profession! "
Wang Lu said, "Do you suspect that Dragon City is deliberately suppressing the strength of the Dragon descendants?"
"Yes, Bedivere is an excellent commander, so he doesn't know how to train his subordinates. In this situation, I can only think that he did it intentionally! "
Aya said, "At present, I still can't figure out his reason. However, I can try to make the situation change a little bit and see his reaction."
Wang Lu gawked for a moment. "Do you want to run naked?"
