Chapter 912 Four Commanders

The dragon flew across the sky. After crossing a few mountains, they saw the appearance of the city.

Looking down at the city, it was a typical square-ish city. It was surrounded by walls on all sides and hidden in the dense forest. Other than the city’s surrounding area being flat, the rest was filled with dense forests.

This place had a lot of beasts and monsters.

“Let’s land. We can’t fly any further.”

If they went any further, the people there would be able to spot the dragon.

Lu Yu’s whereabouts would be exposed if they were to report to the capital.

The decision-maker of the Ember Empire still did not know that Lu Yu was going straight to the center of the empire.

The dragon landed in the depths of the forest.

Near a stream, the Water Spirit Dragon drank the water in large mouthfuls. It acted like a pump, greatly reducing the water flow downstream.

After drinking its fill, the Water Spirit Dragon yawned.

Lu Yu kept the dragon back in its pearl.

“Let’s go; we’ve arrived at the Mountain City.”

The three of them walked downstream and gradually saw a small path in the forest.

This path led to Mountain City.

As he walked along the road, Lu Yu saw someone.

A few people were in the forest, chasing a rabbit.

These people wore green hemp clothes as they trekked in the dense forest. Their figures blended with the surrounding environment.

They continued walking forward and eventually saw the city gates.

It was a lively place. They had been revived for some time, and their lives had returned to normal.

For most of them, this awakening was like a nap. However, the after-effects of this nap were a little intense, making them very uncomfortable when they woke up.

But after a week, they were all better.

In fact, if they did not leave this world and enter Lu Yu’s world, they wouldn’t even know that they had arrived in a world that belonged to the future thousands of years later.

Lu Yu arrived at the entrance of the city. The clothes worn by the people here were old, style-wise, but the clothes themselves looked new.

Lu Yu’s attire obviously alerted the guards at the door.

Lu Yu’s hair and eyes were all black. He looked completely different from the people around him.

“Who are you?”

The guard stopped Lu Yu and questioned him coldly.

Helen quickly stood up and said, “We are from Black Rock City. My name is Helen.”

“Is he your friend? What a joke; you can’t have such a friend.”

“What he’s wearing is completely different from us!”

Lu Yu was dressed in casual clothes. It was modern-looking and different from their linen robes.

“He’s an adventurer who travels around. He happened to come to Black Rock City, so I got to know him.”

The guard scratched the back of his head. “What a coincidence, wandering around here. Are you sure he’s just your friend?”

“Yes. Look at him; he’s young. What can he do? He’s just a young man who likes to explore the world.”

“Alright, after you go in, don’t loiter and cause trouble. Otherwise, we won’t hesitate to arrest you!”

He stared at Lu Yu warily.

Lu Yu and the other two walked in, and the man looked away.

“This place isn’t as xenophobic as I expected.”

Lu Yu was a little surprised. He couldn’t believe he was let in after the guards heard Helen’s explanation.

“Yeah. The people here think that they live in the strongest empire in the world, so they are more arrogant and don’t care about many things.”

“They don’t care what you’re here for. In their eyes, your strength is inferior to the empire.”

Lu Yu smiled. The people here were certainly arrogant.

“Alright, let’s find a place to sit down and continue our journey tomorrow.”

The Empress nodded slightly. “Yes, I’m a little tired.” She stretched her waist tiredly.

Her enchanting figure attracted the attention of many passersby.

“There’s a hotel here.”

Lu Yu came to the roadside and found a small hotel.

“Right, I just remembered that I don’t have any currency for your empire.”

Lu Yu smiled awkwardly.

Helen sighed helplessly. “I didn’t bring any money with me when I left.”

“Uh, it looks like we need to earn some money first.”

The currency of the Ember Empire was gold coins made from gold and some ores in the capital.

These coins could not be found in the outside world, and it was extremely difficult to replicate them.

The three of them continued to walk forward to see if anything could make them a buck.

Lu Yu arrived in front of a dojo. The dojo posted a notice stating that whoever succeeded in challenging the dojo would be rewarded with 100 Brilliant Coins.

A Brilliant Coin was entirely gold in color, but because it was made with a combination of other ores, it had a layer of dazzling light.

“I’ll challenge this dojo. 100 Brilliant Coins seems enough for us for quite some time.”

It only costs one Brilliant Coin for a person to book a room in a hotel for a day.

100 of these were definitely enough for their daily use.

After all, they did not need to buy other things, such as equipment.

When Lu Yu entered the dojo, an apprentice immediately approached him.

“Please state your name!”

His eyes were fixed on Lu Yu.

“My name is…”

Lu Yu was at a loss for a moment. He did not know if he should reveal his real name. The Ember Empire should know the name Lu Yu, right?

If ordinary citizens didn’t know, then the core members should know. After all, the Truth Department was aiding them in their recovery.

Even if no one knew Lu Yu around here, wouldn’t his infiltration into the Empire be exposed if he accidentally made a name for himself here?

Since that was the case, he couldn’t reveal his real name.

He casually thought of a name and replied, “My name is Will. I’m an explorer.”

“Alright, please come in. What do you want to do? Are you joining our dojo, or are you challenging us?”

“I’m here to challenge the dojo.”

As soon as he said this, the apprentice paused and sized up Lu Yu.

“Are you sure you’re here to challenge the dojo?”

“That’s right. Is there a problem?”

“No, of course, not a problem. In that case, come and challenge my master. If you win, you’ll be rewarded with 100 Brilliant Coins. If you lose, you’ll have to hand over 50 Brilliant Coins.”

“But before that, I want to know if you have 50 Brilliant Coins on you?”

He smiled proudly, as if he were sure Lu Yu would have to pay the price of 50 Brilliant Coins.

“You don’t have to worry about whether I have it or not. I’m going to win this challenge.”

“Arrogant fellow, are you not? Fine, I’ll go call my master now!”

With that, he turned and left.
