Lorne pondered for a moment and smiled.
“That’s great. You don’t have to keep calling me sir. I’m fated to be with Nan Nan, so you can call me Lorne.”
As he spoke, he took out two consolidating spirit pills that the system had rewarded him with and handed them to the middle-aged man.
“I won’t take advantage of you. This is my reward for you.”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to refuse, Lorne said, “This pill can increase spiritual power. If an ordinary person eats it, it can also prolong their life. Of course, it has a greater effect on spirit envoys.”
After saying that, he looked at Nan Nan and smiled. Then, he stopped and did not say anything more. He told the shopkeeper about the sword he wanted to forge and left.
Seeing that Lorne had made up his mind, the middle-aged man did not say anything more. He just silently decided in his heart that the spirit pills must be given to Nan Nan.
The weapon Lorne wanted to forge was similar to the Tang blade from his previous life. It had a narrow and straight blade, and the tip of the sword was slanted, with only one blade open.
The Tang blade’s hilt was long and it could be held with both hands. This way, it could release power of several-folds. The middle-aged man had never seen such a design and he was also amazed.
Then, Lorne opened the system and learned the cloud treading movement technique that the system had rewarded. Lorne naturally wanted to test what he had learned so he immediately activated it.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lorne clearly looked like he was strolling leisurely, but in that instant, he had already disappeared.
Lorne did not know that at a corner of the street, a figure quietly stared at his disappearing back and said in a low voice, “A Light Elf and a movement-type combat technique that I don’t know where he had learned from. Interesting!”
If Lorne was here, he would definitely recognize this young man named Jiang Qing.
“Young master, do you need me to test him?”
The servant beside Lorne asked arrogantly.
“Father only asked me to get to know this person. I didn’t expect to meet him so quickly. There’s no need to do unnecessary things. When we reach the outer city, there will be plenty of opportunities.”
He did not expect that in just two hours, Lorne’s identity would be noticed by the upper echelons of Jiang City.
…
Lorne returned to his bedroom and glanced at Nita, who was still sleeping soundly, and Dina, who was hiding somewhere. He smiled and lay on his bed.
He would be going to the outer city in two days. He would finally be able to see the other side of the world. He was curious of what it would be like. He looked at the ceiling and fell asleep as he thought about it.
After he woke up the next day, Lorne went out. He brought along the elves, Nita and Dina, who was hiding in the shadows.
Lorne would rarely have the chance to return to school after arriving at the outer city. Therefore, Lorne wanted to walk around the school. Along the way, he met some of his classmates. Some of them were discussing yesterday’s awakening.
“There were several thousand students in a dozen classes yesterday, but in the end, only around 300 spirit envoys were born.”
“There were also a dozen who lost control and dozens of people died.”
“Is that so? The third class next to mine also lost control, but it wasn’t the teacher who took care of it. Guess who took care of it?”
“Who?”
“A student named Lorne. I heard that he just awakened. How is he? Isn’t he amazing?”
“Wow, this is indeed amazing!”
“If only I could be this amazing when I awaken in the future.”
“…”
Many students recognized him and many of them looked over.
“Lorne, congratulations! After becoming a spirit envoy, you have to take care of us.”
“Hello, student Lorne. This is my contact information. I’m free at any time…”
“Student Lorne, you’re so strong. Can you share with me your secret?”
…
Many students knew that he had solved the problem of the out-of-control demon yesterday. He had become a celebrity in this school.
However, Lorne did not care about staying. He only nodded when he met people who greeted him. He was going to the outer city the next day. He did not know how the situation was, so he was not in the mood to talk about meaningless things with others.
“You took the twin elves for an hour walk. Experience +5, Fetters +1.”
When Lorne walked around and returned to his dorm, he heard the system’s voice again. Sure enough, as long as he brought the two of them to do something, he could earn experience points. Thus, Lorne used the rest of the day to earn a few dozen experience points.
…
The next morning, Lorne heard the system’s voice when he got up.
[ New mission: Head to the outer city and become an official spirit envoy. Reward: 50 experience points, Elven potential +1. ]
“Let’s go to the outer city.”
Lorne packed his things and arrived at the school gate. There were already dozens of students at the gate. These were the students who had successfully awakened the elves in the school yesterday.
“Look, he’s Lorne.”
Lorne was still far away, but he was recognized by the dozens of students. Apparently, the students knew that Lorne had solved the problem of the runaway demon. Everyone looked at Lorne with surprise and admiration.
A shabby bus drove over.
“Get on the bus.”
On the bus, a man covered in a cloak said in a hoarse voice.
The students all got on the bus. On the bus, Lorne sat in his seat and looked outside silently.
“He’s Lorne, who has just awakened and purified a demonic cone.”
Some students looked at Lorne. Some of them wanted to build a good relationship with him because the potential that Lorne had shown now was very likely to become an extremely powerful spirit envoy in the future!
The bus swayed as it drove toward the outer city. This was everyone’s first time going to the outer city.
“I heard that the outer city is filled with demons. If we’re not careful, we’ll become food for them.”
“Don’t worry, we basically won’t encounter any powerful demons now. There’s a group of powerful spirit envoys guarding the outer city. We’re just training.”
Before this, everyone had spent most of their time in school. The others were still living in peace in the inner city. Even though they heard that the outer city was filled with danger, they still subconsciously felt safe. However, was that really the case?
“In this era filled with danger, there’s no time to wait for me to grow up slowly!” Lorne scoffed at the rest’s relaxed mentality.
After driving for more than an hour, a tall city wall appeared in Lorne’s field of vision. When they arrived at the city gate, two men with long spears and weapons stopped the bus.
The man covered in a cloak took out a document with a seal and showed it to the two guards. After a while, the guards let them through.
“Open the city gate.”
The city gate slowly opened and the bus drove over. Lorne saw similar buses coming from other directions. Most of the buses were 15-year-old students. These were students from other classes who had awakened the elves.
There were also students from several other schools in the city who had awakened this year. All of them had gathered in the outer city to participate in a training..
