“I’m afraid that won’t work.”

Rophis shook his head.

The nobles of the Dragon Kingdom were not always harmonious, on the contrary, frequent skirmishes were the norm.

But there were some unwritten rules.

For instance, a big noble can’t attack a small noble unless the latter is the first to strike.

Moreover, attacking any noble is tantamount to provoking the lord to whom he pledges allegiance.

“Why can’t we? The other side is a free knight domain, without a lord… and even if he is a noble, he previously killed several of our knights from the North Territory, we can fully use this as a reason to attack.”

Gran, not an idiot, analyzed calmly.

“But… that Sir Pottery, it is said, has a good relationship with your fiancée – Princess Messiah. The young princess has even visited his domain, and there are rumors that the queen intends to hire Sir Pottery as the court tutor for the princess…”

Knight Rophis said indifferently.

“Ridiculous!”

Gran frowned, “Is he provoking the Mitis family?”

“Maybe not…”

The scholar, with a crow on his shoulder, leaned over, “Sir, please look at the letter from the Capital!”

Gran took and opened it, glanced at it, his expression changed a bit, and handed it to Rophis.

“The ability to move instantaneously?”

Rophis frowned, “Indeed difficult to deal with…a wizard from the Arrogant School, unheard of.”

“I feel that this trip to the Capital will be very interesting.”

Gran seemed to think of something, the originally gloomy face turned to expectation, with a hint of ambition concealed.

Knight’s Manor.

Su Lu was lying in a rattan rocking chair, watching Ham instructing the disciple, while he took a sip of the prickly pear juice comfortably.

“My lord.”

A butler came over with a tray that contained roasted red bean cakes, “I received news that the son of the Duke of Wolf Fort, Sir Gran has arrived in Dragon City and received a court banquet from the King…”

“Good, it looks like he’s still sensible.”

Su Lu picked up a red bean cake, enjoying its sweet and crispy taste, which, paired with the cooling juice, was perfect.

“In addition, you have a visitor who claims to be your disciple.”

This butler was recently recruited, but he works meticulously. He was said to be from a branch of some noble family.

“Oh? Let him in.”

Su Lu waved his hand.

Soon, a group of bald men with glaring tattoos walked in.

Their faces, heads, and bodies all sported green tattoos, which were particularly eye-catching.

Su Lu almost wanted to cover his face: ‘This is the Arrogant School, not a monastery! Silver Eye…’

“Greetings to the great ‘Mad Mentor’!”

As expected, the leader was Silver Eye, who bowed immediately after seeing Su Lu.

Behind him, a row of muscular men also saluted, their eyes filled with admiration.

But Su Lu felt something was very wrong.

This wasn’t his envisioned ‘Arrogant School’; it rather felt like a street gang initiation.

Not to mention, with such a large group of strong men, he could probably take over any slum in Dragon City, no?

“Silver Eye, what brings you to me?”

Su Lu looked at Ham off to the side, signaling for him not to worry, and asked with a smile.

“Firstly, I heard that the tutor has been knighted. I’ve come to express my congratulations!”

The person behind Silver Eye delivers a lot of gifts, “Secondly, I’m here to invite the tutor to a meeting.”

“Oh? What meeting?”

Su Lu perked up a bit.

“It’s the Sorcerers’ Assembly, held every twenty years. All the schools will attend—a chance to discuss some academic issues. I believe it presents a great opportunity for our Arrogant School to make a name for itself.”

There was a sense of enthusiasm in Silver Eye’s pupils, “Those behind me are the people of Doran and some small schools. After my persuasion, they all willingly joined the Arrogant School. At this point, speaking in terms of numbers, we might be eligible to compete for a top school position. Only a powerful leader is still needed. The ‘Mad Mentor’, must be you …”

‘It sounds more like a gang initiation and they need me as their backup…’

Su Lu was speechless inside, but he agreed, “Okay… I am indeed interested in this Sorcerers’ Assembly!”

He glanced at Ham next to him and said to Silver Eye, “I plan to make this place a base for the Arrogant School. You mobilize manpower and resources, and start building it.”

“No problem, I will leave some of my disciples here.”

Silver Eye agreed very happily; some of the long-established wizard schools have a deep foundation, not inferior to the nobility, and some are hidden among the nobility.

After integration, the resources he controlled were no longer inferior to those of ordinary Viscounts and Earls.

“Good. Not many people need to go to the Sorcerers’ Assembly this time. You can choose a few to follow me.”

Su Lu smiled, “That’s just right… I want to temporarily leave the maelstrom of the Capital and explore the Dragon Tomb.”

In the Capital, along with Gran’s arrival, there would definitely be a series of plots and intrigues.

Su Lu, who had accepted a Dragon Crystal, had no intention of going back on his word, but he also did not plan to let the queen fulfill her wish so easily.

Being absent would make for an excellent excuse.

Moreover, he truly wished to explore the Dragon Tomb.

The so-called ‘Dragon Tomb’ is actually a Dragon Grave, the mausoleum of Dragone I.

Because the other party had a dragon buried with him, a part of the Dragon Crystals in this world were definitely in the tomb.

That would be a shame, Su Lu planned to dig them all out and turn them into his own break-through-legend resources.

“Dragon Tomb?”

Silver Eye was shocked: “It is said that Dragone I’s mausoleum not only has guards on patrol, but also terrifying traps, monsters and curses…”

It was evident that the wizards were very interested in Dragone I and had conducted certain research.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the deterrent power of the kingdom and the fact that there was nothing really good in the mausoleum, it might have been excavated by the greedy wizards long ago.

Half a day later.

A few riders galloped out of the manor, passing the King’s Avenue, Su Lu looked at the direction of the Capital and had some inexplicable feelings, “That brutal beginning will end in brutality.”

“Tutor?”

Silver Eye asked curiously.

“Nothing… I had a prophecy.”

Su Lu touched his forehead.

Just now, he was mainly guessing, but it seemed that his inspiration had really touched the Dream Spirit World of this world!

The news of their departure spread quickly to the palace.

“That cheater took my deposit and ran away! Ran away!”

Flora Drake roared quietly, the surrounding servants had already been shooed away, only the grey-robed man remained.

“I will never, never let Messiah marry the barbarians of the north, especially the Mitis family, I swear!”

Flora looked at the grey-robed man, “You go and kill Gran for me.”

“I’m in a difficult position. I’m no match for the Silver Hand Lord,” the grey-robed man said helplessly.

“Useless thing, I have to do it myself in the end!”

Flora’s expression became extremely dangerous, “I want Gran and his family to disappear from this world!”
