Chapter 674: Chapter 0674: Novel (Seeking Subscription)
“So… was that an illusion technique test just now?”
“This is my first encounter with an extraordinary human in this world. I really want to dissect and research it… It does not seem to be the ‘Knight’ type of power.”
Su Lu licked his lips and returned home with a tinge of regret.
He knew that after this, he probably would be completely fine.
“But just to be safe… I’ll leave those things there for now. After all, there will be even more advanced resources at the Royal Mechanical University.”
At this time, he noticed that Joanne was also packing furniture at home, obviously considering moving.
“Sis… did you resign already?”
“Yes, I feel so relieved…” Joanne stretched leisurely, a scene Morphy had never seen in his memories before.
“What about going to see a drama or reading a book together?”
Su Lu issued an invitation with a smile, “I remember that you quite like reading popular literature, so… it would not be a bad choice to go shopping and buy a few knight novels.”
“I remember you weren’t exactly fond of that, were you?”
Joanne was somewhat suspicious.
“Interests can always change. I’ve suddenly become interested in the legends of a few epic knights in history …”
Su Lu made up an excuse.
In reality, he wanted to understand the knight legends of this world and find some clues from them.
“Then… we should go to the Baixi grand theater first. There are a few famous knight plays there, but the tickets are quite expensive…”
Joanne’s face showed a hint of hesitation.
“It’s okay, let’s go!”
Su Lu waved his hand generously.
…
Rumble, Rumble!
The steam locomotive spewed out thick smoke, a train traveled along the rural track. On both sides were farmlands filled with various grains, while service men pushing small carts filled with drinks and snacks passed by from time to time.
This was a steam locomotive heading to the capital, Silver City, of the Kinsley Kingdom.
After finishing matters in Baixi, Su Lu, with his sister, decisively bought a first-class ticket to avoid being crowded in the carriage with others, heading for Silver City.
At this time, Su Lu, dressed casually, was reading a knight novel to pass the time.
“In the Purple Moon Calendar year of 1660, the Ace Knight ‘Kings’ arrived at the Devil’s Canyon and entangled with the three-headed python that was nesting there… After three days and three nights of fighting, he cut off all the heads of the python, saved everyone, and won the love of Katarina, a descendant of the Sumerneil nobility…”
“He discovered a mechanical research institute left by the Sumerneil Empire in the canyon, and with Katarina’s help, he obtained the precious information contained therein, gradually established a human gathering point in the ruins, and later established the ‘Kingsley Kingdom’…”
“Afterwards, he moved a large number of machines and statues and other pieces of art from the ruins to the capital, storing them in the Royal Museum. Some of them were donated to the Royal Mechanical University…”
Su Lu closed the book slowly.
“Surida, Sass, Kinsley… These three great kingdoms inherited parts of the ancient Sumerneil Empire’s legacy, and even their founders were powerful ‘Knights’… I didn’t think much about it before, but now it seems, they are all extraordinarily powerful people.”
“And the Sumerneil civilization, its brilliance seems beyond imagination. It may have posed a threat to the Star Devourer Clan. Is this connected to their sudden disappearance?”
As a former member of the Star Devourer Clan, Su Lu understood their way of thinking.
Although they are usually obsessed with research and medical skills and occasionally capture prey for sacrifice, they have always considered themselves the dominators of this world.
If any other civilization shows signs of surpassing them, it’s needless to ask, they will definitely initiate a ‘lower-dimensional strike’!
‘They might be of small stature, but they are undoubtedly the world’s dominators…’
‘Not to mention their White Space and transport technology, they are far ahead of humans…’
‘How many times was this human civilization destroyed to get to where it is now?’
For a moment, looking at the laughing crowd in the carriage, Su Lu suddenly felt very sad.
Their civilization continues to advance, but they do not know that a time bomb may be buried ahead.
“Civilization Watchers, huh… This indeed sounds like something the Star Devourer Clan could do.”
Su Lu was only a juvenile at the time, and he didn’t understand much about it, but he could guess some of it.
“But… that has nothing to do with me.”
He covered his face with the book and fell asleep.
…
Silver City, train station.
A beautiful woman in a black dress was holding up a sign that read ‘Morphy’.
Next to her, two other students were doing the same, but they were blushing at the glances they received, “Xila… is it really okay for us to do this?”
They felt very embarrassed.
“This is a task from the professor… If he wasn’t worried about how it would look, he would have come himself.”
Xila, with her slender and round thighs, delicate features and robust figure emanating a heroic aura, glanced at her two underclassmen and scoffed, “Don’t think he’s the kind that got in through connections like you guys, he’s a real genius! He can participate in experiments and designs in his freshman year, and even gets a levelⅢ resource allocation…”
The two boys immediately lowered their heads, unable to utter a word.
As Su Lu got off the steam locomotive, he saw the prominent sign and walked over, “Are you…”
“Are you Morphy?”
Xila seemed to have done her homework well and even seen Morphy’s portraits. She smiled and said, “I am your senior, Xila! The professor asked me to pick you up… Also, your off-campus dormitory has been prepared, and you can move in at any time. You two, what are you standing there for?”
She glanced around, her tone turning aggressive.
“Oh… okay…” The two underclassmen shuddered and hurriedly stepped forward, taking the luggage from Su Lu and Joanne.
“Thank you.”
Su Lu walked in front of Xila with ease, two students in Royal Mechanical University uniforms carried bags behind him, which immediately caught the attention of passersby.
“Hmpf… the gaze of the weak, don’t mind them,”
Xila laughed softly, came to a car, and opened the door, “Please…”
“You’re too polite.”
Su Lu declined a few times but eventually got in the car.
“Little brother…”
The car bumped on the road. Joanne leaned over and whispered in Su Lu’s ear, “Aren’t they a bit too polite? They are not scammers, right? I’ve heard there are a lot of scammers in big cities, and they even abduct women and children.”
“She’s not…”
Su Lu shook his head, “But I didn’t expect James to think so highly of me… Maybe because I’m a genius.”
“Hehe… a genius who wet the bed until he was 9?” Joanne countered with a cold laugh.
“Cough…
At this point, Xila in front turned her head back, “Sorry to interrupt, I have good hearing…”
Su Lu covered his forehead and didn’t want to speak anymore.
