Chapter 3038

All the way until now.

Otherwise, the fourth heir Zhao Quan could not have inherited the clan leader position in just a few months.

That can only mean all the heirs before him are dead.

Of course, there's also the possibility that Zhao Quan murdered them.

But the likelihood they died in battle is the highest.

Zhao Quan said the Holy Flame Family needs manpower, and Zhao Chi believes it—right now, everyone needs manpower.

Of course, what they need is powerful lords, and also special technical talents.

Commoners and new lords are useless.

Zhao Chi 【I understand, thank you for the invitation, but I don't have such plans for now】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Ha, I get it. Now that you've caught the eye of that woman Yao Feng, you're the rising star of the White Tiger Regiment—of course you won't come to my side easily. But let me warn you, that tigress Yao Feng is not as simple as she looks. Think about it—she's only 35, how did she become the White Tiger Regiment's commander? Don't you find that strange?】

Zhao Chi 【It's nothing more than strength】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Hahahaha, strength? Hahahahaha, fair enough. Relying on deception and trickery, along with a ruthless style, is indeed part of strength—it's just a shameful kind of strength】

Zhao Chi 【I think she's pretty good】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Heh~ defending her so much? Then you won't be mad at me for talking about Yao Feng like that just now, right? That woman's looks and figure are indeed not bad—have you taken an interest in her because of that? Surely not? Women are a dime a dozen, you wouldn't be that shallow, would you? If you want women at her level, I'll give you a hundred!】

Zhao Chi 【Your Highness Zhao Quan, I think we can end it here】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Don't rush. I just promised you—as long as you're willing to chat with me, I'll help you rescue Yin Wanyan. But we haven't finished talking yet. If you leave now, it'll all be for nothing】

Zhao Chi 【Your Highness Zhao Quan, please don't say the same thing again. I will not join the Holy Flame Family】

Prince Zhao Quan 【I haven't finished speaking, don't be so quick to interrupt me. The werewolves are done for. Don't be fooled by their bluster right now—the noble royals and imperial nobles of District 1 have already pulled through. Even if the werewolves send two regiments to support them, they won't amount to anything. They will lose】

Zhao Chi 【The nobles of District 1 have pulled through? Weren't they being suppressed by the werewolves' elite forces the whole time? How is that possible?】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Haha, that's the key point!】

Zhao Chi 【What?】

Prince Zhao Quan 【The people outside the city broke through the blockade and came back!】

Zhao Chi felt a bit dazed.

Outside the city?

Which outside the city?

Other nobles came to support them?

Zhao Chi was completely baffled.

Zhao Chi 【People outside the city? Do you mean the spatial rifts? Have nobles from other cities come to support?】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Idiot! What support from nobles in other cities? Fuck the nobles from other cities—they're the enemies! I'm talking about the people from Snowfield City who were outside the city, outside the city in the Greater World!】

Zhao Chi 【What are you talking about? Outside the city in the Greater World? That's the Sea of Magical Beasts! How could anyone be there?】

Prince Zhao Quan 【...】

Zhao Chi 【...】

Prince Zhao Quan 【...】

Zhao Chi 【... Is that not right?】

Prince Zhao Quan 【Truly ignorant... Zhao Tan!】

Zhao Tan 【Your Highness Zhao Quan, Zhao Chi is a new lord of this batch, still in his internship period. He still has 2-3 years of courses left to study, and only elites can learn about this kind of content】

Prince Zhao Quan 【I know, but you're already under Yao Feng. Hasn't anyone in the Zhao family told you? Doesn't your Zhao family have any elites? Zhao Tan, explain it to him. Commoners really are ignorant】

Zhao Tan 【Yes, Your Highness Zhao Quan】

Zhao Chi 【...】

Zhao Chi had only transmigrated to this world a little over two years ago. The first two years were basically spent familiarizing himself with the rules of this world.

Then he had to cram courses from the previous ten-plus years, so he really didn't have much time of his own, and had no way to learn much information beyond the conventional.

He truly had no time.

After becoming a lord, Zhao Chi was basically just developing his territory, and then the great war broke out.

After the great war, everyone was busy, and Zhao Chi was even busier—he had absolutely no time to study other knowledge.

Most importantly, Zhao Chi didn't even know this kind of knowledge existed.

He had asked about the situation outside the city before, and whether it was the Zhao family or the academy, they all told him there was a Sea of Magical Beasts outside the city.

Going there meant death.

Even the boundary walls should be avoided as much as possible.

Nothing else.

Zhao Chi had absolutely no idea anyone could survive outside the city.

Originally he was extremely impatient with this conversation, but now, he was actually looking forward to Zhao Tan's introduction.

Zhao Tan's young and gentle voice came through.

Zhao Tan 【Zhao Chi, are you a student of the Eighth Academy?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes】

Zhao Tan 【A how-many-year program? The 5-year one?】

Zhao Chi 【Yes!】

Zhao Tan 【Understood, the standard commoner curriculum. Then you should know about the city's grand formation and the Sea of Magical Beasts outside the city, right?】

Zhao Chi 【I know that, everyone knows about that, right?】

Zhao Tan 【Do you know how magical beasts appear, and how to eliminate them?】

Zhao Chi 【I don't know...】

Prince Zhao Quan 【You don't even know this!? How ignorant!】

Zhao Tan 【I see. Then let me briefly explain it to you.】

Zhao Chi 【Alright, thank you.】

Zhao Tan 【You're welcome. The World Wall of our Great World has been damaged — torn open by an ancient evil dragon, leaving a massive rift. This rift connects to the Sea of Worlds, which means our Great World is now directly linked to the Sea of Worlds.】
