Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tristana was reluctant to let go.
“Don’t be sad,” said Xu Yuan. “Just come back soon.”
Tristana nodded. She took a deep breath and then smiled at them. “I’m afraid I won’t be coming back to Canglan City for a long time. I need to do some things back home.”
Her gaze was determined. She was going back home with a purpose, and she would fulfill it at all costs. Her mother had waited long enough.
“That’s right! You do what you need to do. I’m sure that we’ll have to address you as Grand Duke Frostwolf when we meet next time,” said Su Wan.
That made Tristana laugh.
“Can we at least have lunch with you, Grand Duke Tristana?” asked Xu Yuan.
Tristana chuckled and thanked them. In the end, she couldn’t stay for lunch. She left with her soldiers in a hurry.
She didn’t even have time to say goodbye to her friend, Bayion.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan saw her off at the gate as she got into her carriage and sped away. They felt bittersweet. They had a feeling that he would indeed be the Grand Duke Frostwolf when they next met.
“I look forward to the day when she would be given the title,” said Xu Yuan as he walked back to the manor with Su Wan.
“Lord Su Wan, wait!” said a voice from behind them before they could step into the manor.
Su Wan turned around to find the two Lords and the old bald man at the door.
“What’s wrong?” she asked. They all looked flustered.
“The quota for the dungeon is full!” said the Hyena. “The dungeon will be activated soon!”
The Hyena showed her the chess piece. Su Wan checked the attribute panel. It was true! The quote was full. There were a total of 50 competitors from 10 factions.
The countdown had started.
“Please be prepared.”
The instant dungeon had its own rules. The Lords couldn’t take their troops with them, except for the initial hero.
[If Lords die in the dungeon, they will be resurrected outside, but that would mean they are out of the game. The gods would be watching the battle. Lords, please be prepared. The final winner will be rewarded by the gods.]
Su Wan read the descriptions a few more times.
She found it interesting. It was unlike anything she had seen before. The dungeon prohibited the Lords from bringing along any of their troops. Perhaps it was to test the Lord’s ability. Su Wan didn’t feel like this was a big deal.
She had Xu Yuan by her side. He had even defeated a god before!
The gods would give the reward. That intrigued Su Wan. Any reward given by a god wouldn’t be something ordinary.
Maybe she could get a divine artifact!
Su Wan called for Mestre and told her that she would be away for a while. She would be in complete control of the Lavender Business Guild.
Mestre nodded. Annie stayed with Mestre.
Su Wan decided that her troops were safer here than anywhere else. She didn’t have to worry about them in Canglan City.
When the countdown reached zero, the chess piece emitted a dazzling light and formed a Void Gate.
Su Wan, Xu Yuan, the bald man, and the others stepped through it. The gate shattered and disappeared.
There was only darkness.
Bayion was bored in the main hall. Mestre approached her.
“Your Highness, Lord Xu Yuan told me to apologize to you.”
“What?” said Bayion. “Why would Lord Xu Yuan apologize to me? He doesn’t apologize to anyone.”
“Tell that girl that I’m leaving for now and she better behave properly when next we meet,” said Mestre. “That was what Lord Xu Yuan said.”
Bayion gritted her teeth. That guy didn’t know what “respect” meant. She was the princess of Canglan City! She’d have him flogged next time.
Mestre was baffled. She wondered if Bayion was mentally unstable.
“Also, Lord Su Wan has temporarily entrusted all decisions about the Lavender Business Guild to you,” said Mestre. “She told me that if I encounter any problem, I can always rely on your guidance.”
Bayion smiled in delight. “Lord Su Wan said that?!”
She raised her chin proudly. “That’s right. I am good friends with your Lord. If you have any problems, you can definitely tell me!”
[Faction Dungeon Rules: Each faction has 5 Lords. They each guard a chess piece. When a high-level chess piece bearer fights a low-level chess piece bearer, all attributes will increase by 4.0%. This rule cannot be bypassed. The rat counters the elephant. When the rat fights the elephant, all attributes increase by 60%, elephant attributes decrease by 60%.
The Lords must strive to defeat the enemy and obtain their chess piece. The chess piece of one faction cannot kill another of the same faction. They can still fight. The Lord has to try to snatch away the other Lord’s chess piece. With every chess piece won, the Lord will have command over the other person’s troop.]
[Note: The troop type will be automatically converted to the faction of the Lord who wins the fight. The Lord who obtains all the chess pieces wins the fight.]
After the system notification appeared, a gray light flashed. Su Wan and Xu Yuan found themselves at the edge of a floating island..
