Chapter 847: You Cant Be Serious! (1/2)

Krune then spent his next few days training with his shields and awakening Equipment Spirits in the Spirit Awakener Guild. Only when he was confident in his control over the shields did he finally decide to leave. Of course, he had long since thought about his destination.

”So, you're planning to take mission jobs in the Mercenary Guild, huh?”

Krune nodded, saying.

”I've thought a lot about it. But in the end, I can't really decide on a place to try out my abilities. There are just way too many options available. Since that's the case, I might as well use the Mercenary Guild's mission to go around it.”

Krune decided to do this because that was how he started his cultivation back in Makui Planet. After he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he left the forest and joined the Mercenary Guild. Only then did he begin to travel everywhere.

Dima didn't think it was a bad idea.

”That's good enough. The situation in our Zamuria Empire is quite peaceful. That said, most of the missions will take place inside demon beast territories or areas where the Empire's laws don't mean anything. Fortunately, there's plenty of places like that. The most common ones are trade routes between cities. I believe you've heard that just 23000 kilometers from here, you have the four sectors' trade route. That's one where you should try your missions out.”

Krune nodded after hearing that. That was one of the reasons he decided to take the Mercenary Guild's missions as he did in the past. Taran had talked with him about this place. As always, Krune wouldn't go out of his way to battle others on his own without reason. However, if others attacked him first, then that was another story.

A few moments later, someone knocked on the door to Dima's office.

”Come in.”

Krune looked behind him and saw a man come inside. He looked to be around his forties. Well, that wasn't considering his cultivation level and lifespan, of course.

”Krune, this is the protector I arranged for you. As I mentioned, we can't allow anything to happen to you, so he will follow you for the time being. Also, he will give you the God Foundation Star Equipment for awakening during your time out.”

Krune already expected that.

”Hello there. I'm Krune.”

The man nodded at Krune as he introduced himself.

”You can call me Yulian. I already heard about your situation. That being said, I will follow you, but I will not intervene unless your death is certain. Otherwise, this training of yours will make no sense.”

Dima was satisfied with that.

”Good. Yulian is at the 9th Stage of the God Core Realm. That is more than enough to protect you against most things that your missions might bring to you. But above all, he is there to watch you and make sure you won't stop the Spirit Awakenings while you're at it.”

Krune didn't mind.

”That's fine by me. Well, then. Shall we head off?”

Krune then bid farewell to Dima and left the room with Yulian. The first place he passed by was the market, where he bought many food ingredients. Sure enough, more important than his training was his food.

”Why do you need all of this? You should be able to live without food after the God Foundation Realm.”

Krune shook his head as he replied.

”I'm also a Spiritual Chef. Naturally, I can use the food for cultivation.”

Other than Blacksmithing and Spirit Awakening, there was one side occupation that Krune never relaxed in his training, being a Spiritual Chef. Well, anyone who knew Krune would know that he put a lot more importance on it than any other thing.

Yulian was surprised, though.

”Spiritual Chef? Not only are you a Spirit Awakener, but a Spiritual Chef as well?”

Even in the God Realm, being a Spiritual Chef was hard. Not to mention that there weren't many who wanted to become one to start with. However, it was no problem for Krune, who loved food.

”Hahaha! There's nothing impressive about it. It's just that I love cooking and food more than anything. Even if I wasn't a Spiritual Chef, I would still bring food with me. Well, you can look forward to many days of good food and drinks. Besides, although I'm only a God Foundation Stars Chef, it should still help you a little with your cultivation as well.”

Yulian thought that his days following Krune would be quite a waste. If the payment wasn't high, he wouldn't tag along. However, his opinion already began to change. After all, Spiritual Food was also expensive in the God Realm. Once again, that was because there were way too few Spiritual Chefs.
