298 The Noble Bloodline of Wang Lulu (1/2)
Holy Light Religion priest stimulated the rare treasure Ambergris. Its strange fragrance quickly spread to each corner of Golden Flash Town, which lured a specific bloodline.
Ambergris was a rare treasure invented by chance coincidence by a genius alchemist. Legend has it that even ancient dragons could not resist its temptation. As long as it was smelled, it would be continuously drooled over, captivating dragons, hence the name Ambergris1. According to legend, the purer the Dragon Clan bloodline was, the stronger the temptation of Ambergris.
The reason why Holy Light Religion priest took out this piece of Ambergris was that they basically wanted to catch the whole Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline in Golden Flash Town in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, in a certain inn in town, the scent of the dinner was coming out of the kitchen and the sumptuous feast was obviously about to be ready. After a moment, however, in the astonished eyes of people, the girl Nicole who was in charge for the dinner walked out of the inn absentmindedly.
And behind her, in a similar absent-minded state, Aya followed suit.
”Hey, what has gotten into you two, this broad daylight…”
Wang Lu promptly chanted the mind purifying incantation. Although he was a sword cultivator, thus magic spell was not his forte, but after more than a dozen years of cultivation, he was already approaching Jindan Stage. Therefore, a simple spell could be readily cast out. Moreover, the effect was not inferior to the elites of the common sects.
However, after chanting that mind purifying incantation, there was still no response from Aya and Nicole. Wang Lu was slightly surprised. ”How could it be?”
Even though casting a spell in Western Continent—after going through the principle of transformation—the effect of the spell could not have one hundred percent assurance, but it should have at least some effects. At least, it ought to be effective on Nicole.
While thinking, Wang Lu rushed towards Aya and pressed her shoulder. However, her body unexpectedly slightly trembled, and then a formidable stormy-sea-like giant force burst out, throwing him back far away.
”Get out of the way!”
Only when her back disappeared from his field of vision did her impatient voice passed into his ear.
”This woman is crazy!” Wang Lu was alarmed and angry at the same time. He stood up, pound the table in anger, and roared to Liu Li and the others, ”Don’t just gawk here, after them!”
It was not important what has gotten into Aya and Nicole. The important thing was the Master of Dragon City was outside, so Aya must not be seen by him at all!
Think about it, if the Knight King who was supposed to die one hundred years ago suddenly raised from the dead and reappeared in Brettonia, how would the world react to this?
Those who fondly remembered the Knight King would naturally be overjoyed; they would hope that Aya could lead them to rebuild the country. But on the other hand, what about those who got benefits after Brettonia collapsed?
Like Bedivere, would he be happy to see Aya again?
Or those city masters who proclaimed themselves independent in the chaos of war, wouldn’t they be worried that their cities would be on Aya’s list?
In particular, the Holy Light Religion who was now the de facto ruler of Brettonia. On the one hand, they split Brettonia apart, and on the other hand, they purified the Dragon Clan bloodline. Their hostility towards Bretton Dragon Clan was without a doubt. What would happen if they see the appearance of Aya as the former Dragon Clan King?
They would probably stage a ‘Zhuyanxue’2 for Aya… If he just let Aya just stumble there in a daze, it was like throwing away her life. In a few years, who knows how many children would she conceive! Well, theoretically, the soul of the brave departed is barren, but that was not the point!
”Stop at once, you two dead cooks!”
While urging Liu Li and Bai Shixuan to make their move, his action was not slow either. He rushed as fast as he could to chase them. Because the place was crowded, he didn’t dare to use his big skill like the Broken Sword World.
However, when he arrived outside the inn, he could not help but curse ‘damn’.
A group of people happened to come to the inn at that time. They were those failed challengers who returned from the stage after their interest waned. No one knew why they chose to walk in this part of town, but at this time, they bumped into Wang Lu, thus stopping his rush. However, with that stop, his chance to chase after the two women has slipped away.
Because just when Wang Lu, Liu Li, and the Bai Shixuan were blocked, Aya and Nicole, while holding hands, had already bypassed a corner and headed for the square. Golden Flash Town was not large. The square stage overlooked the four corners of the town, which provided it with great visibility. Therefore, their figures have already appeared in Bedivere and other people’s sight. If they tried to block them now, it would definitely be discovered by the other party.
Wang Lu helplessly slowed down his footsteps and mentioned Liu Li and Bai Shixuan to no longer pursue.
Looking at the back of Aya and Nicole from far away, Wang Lu sighed. Now he could only play by ear.

”Yes, four, five, six… oh, and that other two. There are actually eight awakened Bretton Dragon Clan bloodlines here, truly an unexpected joy.”
The priest with the Ambergris was all smiles. This time’s harvest was very rich. Back at Dragon City, he would inevitably obtain the Archbishop’s commendation.
The real purpose for the once in three years Dragon Guard selection was exactly for the Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline. Golden Flash Town was known as the blessed land of the Dragon Clan, meaning that the probability of the birth of the Dragon Clan bloodline was very high! As long as one was a native of Brettonia and grew up here, one has the probability to sire or give birth to the Dragon Clan bloodline! Thus, every three years, Holy Light Religion recruited the Dragon City Guard in the name of Dragon City, and collected the Dragon Clan Blood in secret. For dozens of years, the harvest was abundant. It was just that in recent years, for several times, the harvest was increasingly scarce.
The priest suspected that Bedivere had spread all sorts of rumors about Dragon City that was not in favor of the Holy Light Religion, making those with Dragon Clan bloodline not willing to be recruited. After all, the purification of Bretton Dragon Clan was not a high profile effort, thus some things could not be done too blatantly. However, his suspicion of Bedivere was just that, a suspicion. There was no evidence to support it. Let alone with the status of Bedivere, even if he has the evidence, he actually could not do anything to him.
Therefore, he simply bypassed Bedivere and tempted the Dragon Clan bloodline with Ambergris so that Bedivere, however unwillingly, could only accept the outcome.
”Very good, very good. Coupled with the previous one, this time, there are nine Dragon Clan bloodlines. I wonder how many of them have the true Dragon bloodline.”
Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline was also divided into levels. The lowest one was green level, which was common. The higher one was blue and then purple-blue. The most excellent one was the purple epic level. The power of the Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline was according to the above color level. The higher the level of the blood, naturally the higher the credit for the priest. According to the results of the previous selections, among the nine people, one or two should have the purple epic level blood.
Before long, the first bloodline who was lured by the Ambergris went up the stage. It was a tall and sturdy young man. The locals of Golden Flash Town immediately recognized him as the blacksmith’s son. A thirteen years old vigorous and healthy young adult. Moreover, in recent years, he was suddenly able to fly. Thus, there were many experienced townspeople who suspected that an extraordinary bloodline had been awakened.
The blacksmith’s son went on the stage absentmindedly, then somehow bit his own finger and dripped the blood on the crystal ball, which then burst into a dark blue glow… He was then pulled aside by the priest and continued to stand with a distracted face.
The second one who went on stage was a delicate young woman. She was the most skilled tailor in her village. Her pair of delicate hand could weave exquisite clothes not inferior to the fine clothes produce by the Nine Regions. Her ingenuity was incredible. At this point, she also went up the stage attracted by Ambergris, and when she dripped her blood on the crystal ball, the ball bloomed with an almost purple light.
”Good, a near-epic blood, and also possessed the sensitive type skill, a rare combination, no less than the true purple epic. This time, we really picked up a treasure.”
The priest was secretly pleased with himself and held the Ambergris in front of the girl, mesmerizing her.
Before long, several Bretton Dragon Clan bloodlines came to the stage for identification. Without exception, they were all blue or purple-blue color. There was even an infinitely close to the true epic blood, which made the several priests happy.
At this time, Nicole, the girl from the farthest inn, finally came to the front and dripped her blood. The crystal ball then bloomed with a dazzling purple light.
”Is… this a true epic blood?” The three priests froze for a moment, and then looked at Nicole together.
Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline was very rare. Its real value was far above the ordinary bloodline. Thus, the condition for its appearance was also very harsh. Purple blue and infinitely close to true purple were all fine. However, the real purple was extremely rare. The true purple blood of Nicole meant that her ancestors were not just nobody.
The several priests looked at each other and thought that after the recruitment, they must take time to check the background of the young girl.
”So, is it my turn now?”
