'There's no time to lose. I'll depart tomorrow and see what's going on in this world.' Lu Sheng made up his mind.
That night, he ordered the servants to prepare food and drink for him. He packed his belongings and went to bed early.
The next morning, Jia Lin came over to play again. She wanted to go with Lu Sheng when she learned that he was going out.
Lu Sheng had been training his body. Jia Lin often came over to take care of him because she was close to him. She was the one who arranged and took care of many things in the manor, so it could be said that everything was well organized.
The first place Lu Sheng went to was a small town called Betas City in Sunset County.
According to Luo Di's letter, there was a man called Veron there. He was an expert from Indy's Free Killing School. Although the letter only mentioned him casually, Lu Sheng remembered it.
This was because the school Veron came from was said to be as famous as the Gelailo School of Swordsmanship.
There should be a similar medicine.
The purpose of this trip was to find different types of potions.
According to Luo Di, people who practiced swordsmanship would also try different medicines. If he wasn't sensitive to the Black Thorn medicine, it wouldn't be very effective. Then he could try Veron's Red Thorn medicine.
He had saved Veron's life before. He could make a request that he definitely wouldn't refuse.
Lu Sheng's body had adapted to the stimulation of the Black Thorn. If he changed the medicine, he might have a breakthrough.
…
Betas City.
The scorching sun released light and heat wantonly in the cloudless blue sky.
The air in the city seemed to be distorted. Blurry heat waves rose from the ground. The wind blew in their eyes, nostrils, and mouths. It was dry and hot.
Lu Sheng and Jia Lin were wrapped in white muslin to reflect the light.
The servants followed behind them. Ever since they entered the city, they had been observing this special city.
Even though the weather was hot, there were still many pedestrians coming and going on both sides of the street. The road in the middle was littered with the feces of passing carriages and oxen. The stench was overwhelming under the scorching sun.
Jia Lin was petite and had a voluptuous chest. It was very eye-catching as she swayed on the road. Many men who looked like officers couldn't help but glance at her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some people wanted to strike up a conversation, but when they saw the tall and strong Lu Sheng, they instinctively shrank back.
"I've never been to a place this far." Jia Lin looked around curiously.
Lu Sheng walked behind her with a calm expression.
"Actually, it's just that the land is bigger, there are more people, and there are more houses. There's no difference. "
"There are so many differences, and it's nothing." Jia Lin was speechless. She saw some gold and silver jewelry on the side of the road and hurried over to choose.
Both of them were sons of the manor lords, so they weren't lacking in money. None of the manor owners who could gain a foothold in such a place were easy to deal with.
In particular, Rody was a valiant warrior who had surpassed the limits of the human body.
While Jia Lin was choosing her accessories, Lu Sheng scanned the surroundings. He had arrived here with Carrie last night. After arranging their accommodation, he immediately brought his men to look for the man named Veron.
He remembered that the man had a shop on this block.
"Out of the way!"
"Don't block the way!"
"Get lost! Disgusting white-skinned pigs! "
Suddenly, he heard faint curses from afar. A group of muscular yellow-skinned men in white shirts and dark yellow pants were cursing as they pushed through the crowd.
"It's the short Yellow Peril from the east!"
"Get away from them! Don't let them touch you! "
"Damn it! Is no one going to take care of them?! "
Lu Sheng could vaguely hear the whispers of the people around him.
He glanced at those people. These people were strong and slightly short. Their skin was light yellow, and they looked like they were from the East. They all carried short knives on their backs.
When Lu Sheng saw people with the same skin color as him, he initially felt a sense of familiarity. However, when he saw how tyrannical these people were and how no one dared to provoke them on the street, he could not help but feel helpless.
"Ah Sang …" Jia Lin seemed to be frightened as well. She returned to his side and held his hand gently.
"It's okay, don't be afraid," Lu Sheng whispered as he pulled her towards a wood carving shop.
The group of yellow-skinned people in white quickly passed by the shop, cursing as they walked.
Lu Sheng and Jia Lin entered the shop. The first thing they saw was the shop owner dozing off lazily at the door.
"You are …? Luo Sang? " The shop owner was a young man. He had a well-built and well-proportioned body, and he seemed to have a streamlined sense of strength.
However, he was much smaller than Lu Sheng.
The shop owner woke up and stood up. He looked pleasantly surprised.
"I recognized you at first glance. You look exactly like your father when he was young! Strong young man! "He patted Lu Sheng's arm hard.
"Uncle Veron?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm Veron. Your father told me about you. Are you here to test the medicine? I've already prepared it for you. "Veron laughed." Come with me! "
He did not stand on ceremony. He arranged for the servant and Jia Lin to rest in the shop. He brought Lu Sheng out from the back door and into the warehouse filled with wood carvings.
"Looks like you didn't choose to run away." Veron looked at Lu Sheng and sighed.
"Running away won't solve the problem." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Yes, just like me … Back then, if it wasn't for your father …" Veron shook his head and said no more.
He pushed a round wooden bucket over. He opened the lid and took out a black bottle.
The bottle was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. He opened the lid and showed it to Lu Sheng. It was filled with an extremely black, viscous liquid. It stank like a burnt plastic cup.
"This is the amount I didn't use in the past. You can take it all. It's enough for a dozen people to use for more than ten years … I was going to use it to open a dojo and accept disciples. Unfortunately … "Veron looked helpless.
"So this is Red Brambles …" Lu Sheng took the bottle and shook it gently. He felt the heavy weight inside.
"Take it, take it all. I can't use it now anyway." Veron smiled desolately.
He lowered his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He did not light it. He placed it in his mouth and took a deep puff.
"Lastly, Luo Sang, as an old man who almost died because he didn't listen to your father's advice, I have a piece of advice for you."
"Go ahead." Lu Sheng nodded slightly and said with a serious expression.
Veron was silent for a moment. He took a few more puffs of his cigarette before he spoke slowly.
"Never fight monsters head-on. Don't be blinded by your own power. Remember, no matter when, don't fight monsters head-on. The skills we learn are meant to be used against humans. Monsters are called monsters because they can't be defeated by force. "
He gently rolled up his left leg. It was a prosthetic leg.
"See, this is the price I paid in the past."
"I will." Lu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Also, if you're able to absorb the medicine well and want to try more medicine, you can go to Banba Academy in Sunflower City. The academy's pharmacology professor, Kekeanda, will give you some help. Just tell him that I asked you to go there. " He's my best friend. He'll take care of you, "Veron added.
"Alright. Thank you, Veron." Lu Sheng thanked him sincerely.
"Call me uncle, brat," Veron scolded jokingly.
…
After leaving the woodcarving shop, Veron arranged for a worker to serve Lu Sheng and Luo Sang.
They decided to spend a few days in the city. These few days were perfect for Lu Sheng to try out the effects of the Red Bramble medicine on him.
Since they were outside and Jia Lin was by his side, Lu Sheng could not take a large amount of the medicine. He only tried a little.
The result was that the new medicine was effective.
However, the amount Veron gave him was too little. It was enough for most people, but for Lu Sheng, it was still lacking a lot.
After that, Lu Sheng went to ask for more information. Veron gave him the prescription without hesitation.
In reality, the medicine was not the most precious thing. The most precious thing was the training method that could help with digestion and get rid of poison. Taking medicine without a training method was akin to committing slow suicide.
What moved Lu Sheng was that Veron gave him the training method as well.
In his words, it was fine as long as he didn't tell anyone about it.
After all, Luo Sang's father was Luo Di. They were in the same circle. He knew Luo Sang very well, and Luo Di had saved his life before.
Veron said that this was just a token of his appreciation. If he needed help in the future, he could always look for him for help.
After receiving the prescription, Lu Sheng did not return immediately. Instead, he headed straight for Banba Academy, which Veron had mentioned.
He asked a servant to send Jia Lin home, then boarded a caravan to Yellow Mallow City by himself.
Since he was going to look for it, he would look for more medicine prescriptions in one go.
…
Southwest of the East Harmony Empire, the Forest of Elma.
In the dark green dense forest that was full of vitality, a group of soldiers armed with spears, daggers, and shields were scattered in the forest, guarding around a marsh full of white grass.
A tall man dressed in the Empire's standard leather armor walked slowly toward a cloaked figure who sat at the edge of the depression.
There was a hideous scar at the corner of the man's eye. His exposed neck was also covered in dark red scars.
"That place is on the move again … They killed four of White Eagle's men …" The man's body trembled slightly. He seemed to be a little excited, but also a little afraid. He noticed that the cloaked man's body trembled after hearing this news, so he continued.
Hence, he continued, "Someone said that you've survived a situation of death before?"
The forest fell silent.
The knife-scarred man waited patiently for the cloaked man's reply. However, the trembling of his hand revealed his current emotions.
"General Urus. Are you going to face death as well? "The cloaked man's hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out.
The knife-scarred man pursed his lips tightly. He did not reply.
After a long while, the cloaked man spoke again.
"There are many who will face death this time. With your strength, you won't be able to find the key to avoid death. What about me? Even if you kill me, I won't be able to help you break free.
"The power of that place cannot be defied …"
General Urus suppressed his anger.
"Even Doctor Edward, who's known as the Light of East Harmony, has died … It's been so many years … It's been so many years … I've been constantly on guard against monsters that could come and kill me at any time. Even though I've avoided being hunted down time and time again, I've been constantly on guard. But it's different now! This is a situation of death! A situation of death! "
The cloaked man fell silent as well.
"I only managed to survive a situation of death by pure luck. The only thing I want to tell you is, don't run away."
"Don't run away …?" General Urus repeated.
