”G-G...igolo?”
On the platform, Wang Lu proudly proclaimed his identity, which immediately plunged the scene into a long silence.
Even the Dragon City Master Bedivere expressed an incredulous expression and was tongue-tied.
”... What did you say?”
Wang Lu said with a smile, ”I said I am the gigolo of the descendant of Galahad. I can help her ease the physical and psychological pressure, and will not be as close as family members that could burden her. I’m just like a Ruyi Staff1, or a dildo. It’s just that I’m able to speak, so I have a more complete function, but with no side effect! In short, taking me along will bring no harm to anyone, what do you guys think?”
Bedivere was still in a state of shock. ”You, you…”
Wang Lu reached out to hug Aya. ”If she can’t bring family member then so be it, but couldn’t she bring even a personal thing? Do you have a problem if I, as the personal belonging of a Bretton Dragon Clan bloodline, go to Dragon Clan with my master?”
”This…”
”If even personal belongings are not allowed to take, then are we applying to be Dragon City Guards or going to prison? In particular, you have recruited so many women, if they don’t bring personal supplies, do they have to enter Dragon City naked? Aren’t you guys too wretched?”
”This…”
Wang Lu righteously spoked, ”Therefore, it is natural and logical for me to enter Dragon City!
”Humph! What a glib tongue!” Bedivere was not well known for his eloquence. Being continuously pressed by Wang Lu, he was simply unable to refute.
Normally, if he ran into someone with a flowery mouth as Wang Lu, he would not be polite—even releasing a tiny bit of his imposing manner as the Dragon City Master was enough to make other people scared sh*tless. However, now, he just turned his gaze and asked Aya instead, ”What do you say? Do you want to take this guy?”
At this time, Aya was also somewhat stupefied as she was still immersed in the shock of being called out in public as having a gigolo. Upon hearing Bedivere’s question, she fiercely glared at Wang Lu. And just as she was about to open his mouth, Wang Lu’s voice came through primordial spirit.
”My sword. You promised to be my sword! Follow my instructions! Have you forgotten that?” After a pause, he continued, ”This is not a joke. Just agree and watch Bedivere’s reaction.”
”You…” Aya took a deep sight, and then with her mouth said, ”He… said it right, I want to take him with me to Dragon City.”
Wang Lu immediately added, ”By the way, we have a dog.” Then he picked up the mutt Quan Zouhua.
Bedivere gazed at Aya’s deep green eyes, and then, after a long time, closed his eyes, turned around and walked away. ”Suit yourself!”

After the selection ceremony of Dragon City Guard, the number of qualified recruits reached an unprecedented thirty-five people. In accordance with the past practice, they should pack their belongings that night and leave Golden Flash Town for Dragon City. However, this time, the Mayor of Golden Flash took this opportunity to exhaust whatever means to keep Bedivere and the others for the night.
”Please stay here for the night! Since the selection ceremony began, this is the first time more than thirty people are qualified. This is a great event, and should be earnestly celebrated!”
With that, the Mayor shoved a few mysterious gifts to the three priests.
At the same time, because the selection has lasted more than expected, and the sun has sunk over the horizon, the three Holy Light priests negotiated among themselves for a moment, and then agreed to the Mayor’s gracious invitation.
That evening, Golden Flash Town held a revelry and gave the four people from Dragon City the most enthusiastic hospitality. The more than thirty qualified recruits, among the countless well-wishers' voice, also caroused until very late at night. Later, at Bedivere’s request, they packed their belongings and rested at the biggest inn for the night, ready to depart the next morning.
Although the revelry has exhausted most of their energy, the more than thirty people were not in the mood to sleep, and they were still in high spirit. Because they stayed in one place, they invariably gathered and began to chat among themselves.
Many of these people were locals of Golden Flash Town, but many more came from other areas. They continued to chat to their heart’s content. Even when the night was almost dawn, they still wanted to chat.
”Alas, I don’t know what will happen once we arrive at Dragon City. I heard that Dragon City Guard looks glamorous, but their training is very bitter, and would often have actual combat duty. Moreover, the elimination rate is also high.”
The young man from the countryside expressed his expectations and worries about the future, and couldn’t help but sigh.
”Hehe, you don’t have to worry about that.” A young man local to Golden Flash Town smiled and comforted him, ”I actually know a lot of things about Dragon City Guard.”
Golden Flash Town was a well-informed place, so the local people’s understanding of Dragon City Guard was also more compared to other people.
”Dragon City Guards do often have actual combat duty, but every fight is basically a non-suspenseful steamrolling action. Throughout Brettonia, no other force could match Dragon City Guards. After all, behind Dragon City is the number one religious organization on the continent, Holy Light Religion! As long as we, recruits, are careful not to be brave, generally, there would not be any danger. As for the elimination? Being eliminated is being eliminated, it’s not a big deal. Even if you’ve been eliminated as Dragon City Guard, you would still be sought after in many places. After all, you have taken training in Dragon City, which is the real deal.”
The countryside teenager curiously asked, ”The power would not be taken back even after being eliminated?”
”Tsk, where did you hear that rumor? How would they take back the power? Should everyone be crippled before they are kicked out of the Guard? As long as you take the soul contract not to divulge the method of Dragon City, then the skill that you have to learn is your own, it has nothing to do with them anymore.” The well-informed youth said with a smile, ”Therefore, joining Dragon City Guard, in addition to eating the bitter hardship, the benefits are enormous! The Dragon City collection of all kinds of secret methods are something that you cannot find anywhere else.”
”Really?” The countryside teenager became even more curious. ”Dragon City method is really powerful? How much powerful?”
”As long as you practice it step by step, there’s hope for you to reach high order profession, how powerful do you think is that?” The youth from Golden Flash Town glittered. ”Someone with a profession is very different than an ordinary person. When you reach the level of high order profession, you will receive courteous reception in any place on the continent! No matter whether to serve a great lord, or setting up your own team of adventurers, your status would be extraordinary! Take this Golden Flash Town for example. In Brettonia, there are a handful of such towns, but it’s Mayor’s status is nearly equal to that of ordinary high order profession. In your small places, ten towns combined could nearly equal to a high order profession.”
”Ten towns add up?”
”But it’s difficult to reach high order profession. I don’t know how many high order can appear in any given profession. In addition to high level of bloodline requirement, the training method must also be good. And this last part is the difficult one. There are countless bloodlines on the mainland, each of it has its own unique mystery, which must be nurtured with the corresponding method to stimulate a stronger valiant magical ability. Otherwise, Dragon City’s collection of most of the method in Brettonia would’ve been in vain, instead of making them fierce as of now. Virtually, any bloodline can find the corresponding method and tap the limit of their own potential. And since we have passed the Dragon City Guard selection, at least there are no problems in terms of our potential, and as long as we diligently train, the future is hopeful for us!”
