Jade Emperor City, the capital of the ancient holy country. Unlike other countries that built their capitals in the heart of their country, the Jade Emperor City was actually located in the easternmost part of the ancient holy kingdom, not far from the vast sea.

A long time ago, the twelve kingdoms of Zhongzhou were extremely unpeaceful, and they fought for many years.

The ancient holy kingdom was weak in the past, and the original capital was even occupied several times. Therefore, when building a new capital, the purpose was to make it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The size of the Jade Emperor City is actually not very large, and the area alone may be as big as two Changge Cities. However, in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the Jade Emperor City, four cities about the same size as the Jade Emperor City were established to surround the Jade Emperor City.

It's like a nine-square grid, the Jade Emperor City is in the center, and then there is a city left on the top and bottom, and the four corners of the corner are many villages and towns, which are responsible for farming, animal husbandry, shipping, and priesthood.

Longxi Town, where Shen Lu stayed, is a town that mainly operates by sea.

This nine-square grid design made the capital of the Jade Emperor City easy to defend and difficult to attack, and helped the Ancient Holy Kingdom through the most difficult period.

It wasn't until later that the Twelve Kingdoms shook hands and made peace, and the Ancient Holy Kingdom developed more and more powerful, and the Nine Palaces of the Jade Emperor City gradually became the most prosperous area of the Ancient Holy Kingdom.

Walking on the streets of Jade Emperor City, Shen Lu felt that it was not as depressing as Longxi Town, and there was even an inexplicable sense of warmth and relaxation, which was a bit similar to walking on the streets of Snow City.

Of course, the Jade Emperor City is still very bustling and lively, and the flow of people is also extremely crowded, but it always feels that the hostility between people is not as strong as that of Longxi Town.

Perhaps it was because all the stressful affairs in the Jade Emperor City were assigned to the surrounding cities and towns, which made the pace of life in the Jade Emperor City itself much easier.

[Main Quest: Join the Ancient Saint Academy.] Success reward: 300 points, 1 SS card. Failure Penalty: None. 】

As soon as you enter the city, there is a main quest. It seems that the system also hopes that Shen Lu can grow up in the environment of the Ancient Saint Academy.

Before he had taken a few steps, Shen Lu suddenly felt Ah Yun's mana call, as if he was about to transform into the form of a dog, because he could no longer stay in the air.

Shen Lu looked up and could vaguely see some cavalry on flying horses patrolling the air, and then he knew why Ah Yun was afraid.

After all, a big city is a big city, not only to guard against threats on the ground, but also to keep an eye on the empty Zheng that is easy to ignore

After picking up Ah Yun, Shen Lu casually found an inn to stay in first, and during the meal, he asked for the address of the headquarters of the Linger Priesthood Guild.

If you want to go to the Shen family, you definitely can't go directly. After all, he was unfamiliar with his life, and he didn't know anything about the Shen family.

Go directly to the door, in case the Shen family is engaged in property competition or something, it is Shen Xuanyuan's son who comes to the door...... I'm afraid that it will not be directly destroyed by the absence of other Shen families.

Shen Lu is not Tie Hanhan, of course he would not be so reckless.

After thinking about it, it is better to go to the boss of your own house first. Get up, and I can be regarded as a regular employee of a large enterprise called the Priesthood Guild, and the treatment I receive should not be bad.

After answering an address, Er asked, "This son, is he going to the Priesthood Guild to assess the beast trainer?"

He saw Ah Yun following Shen Lu, so he asked these words.

Shen Lu agreed: "Yes, our local clerical guild branch can't give me a star rating, so I can only come to the headquarters to try." ”

The second shop seemed to know a lot, and suddenly said: "Yes, other professions can use psychics to evaluate remotely, but the animal trainer must come in person because he has to bring his pet." ”

After chatting a few words, the second shop was busy.

On a place not far from Shen Road, there were three people, one old and two young.

The old man was a kind old man with a white beard and a strong body. Two young men, a man and a woman, were in their mid-twenties. The man was eating with his head bored, but the woman was picking and choosing among the dishes with chopsticks, looking like she was not happy with anyone.

Shen Lu saw that this woman was quite beautiful, and there was a faint sense of familiarity between her eyebrows, so she subconsciously looked at it twice. After the woman felt the sight, she glared back at Shen Lu very unkindly, and it was not until she forced Shen Lu's sight back that she snorted and stopped looking at Shen Lu.

The distance between the old man and Shen Lu was not far away, and he vaguely heard the conversation just now.

At this time, he suddenly held a wine glass, raised his glass in the direction of Shen Lu and said, "Childe is not strange." This child is not very good-tempered, and if there is any unkindness, I will make amends to you on her behalf. ”

Shen Lu also raised his glass and replied with a smile: "I am also offended, and I ask this girl for forgiveness." ”

After drinking a glass of wine, the old man asked, "I don't know what to call the son?"

"On Xia Shen Road. ”

"Old man Gu Daoyuan. Shicai overheard that Shen Gongzi was going to assess the priesthood. As far as I know, the average clergy guild branch can assess the clergy below three stars. In some big cities, there is no problem with the four-star assessment. Childe is going to come to the headquarters for assessment, isn't he already a five-star beast trainer?"

At this time, Shen Lu had really been promoted to the level of a five-star beast tamer.

In the past few months, Shen Lu has practiced against the Wandering Cloud Beast whenever he has the opportunity, not only improving his own strength, but also improving the proficiency of the beast tamer very quickly.

Today's Shen Lu is already a five-star beast trainer, with 60% proficiency. In another two or three months, it is not a big problem to be promoted to a six-star beast trainer.

So Shen Lu nodded and said: "The ancient seniors are really powerful, they guessed my star rating in just a few words, and the juniors admired it." ”

Gu Daoyuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Ha, you don't need to shout from your predecessors and juniors." I have been a mentor for decades, and everyone who gives face calls me Mr. Gu. ”

Before Shen Lu could answer, the woman at Gu Daoyuan's table snorted disdainfully, "Here we go again." Isn't it interesting to have a few words when you see an individual?"

Gu Daoyuan said coldly: "Eat well." ”

The woman obviously didn't dare to talk back to Gu Daoyuan, but she seemed to be full of anger and couldn't vent it, so she pushed the man next to her, and then scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, you know what to eat, what else will you do besides eat?"

It is obvious that there is a sense of scolding Huai.

However, Gu Daoyuan smiled faintly, didn't take these words to heart at all, and continued to chat with Shen Lu.

He also seemed to know some topics related to animal trainers, and the two talked extremely speculatively. Later, Shen Lu also invited him to share the table with him, and then took Ah Yun out and put it on the table for Gu Daoyuan to check.

Ah Yun had been sleeping on Shen Lu's legs, but he was forcibly woken up at this time, and he had to stand obediently to show others, so he looked very unhappy and shouted twice at Shen Lu dissatisfied.

Hearing Ah Yun's shout, a man and a woman accompanying Gu Daoyuan subconsciously glanced at Ah Yun, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's so fun, dog. The woman came to Shen Lu's side very unceremoniously, sat on the same bench as Shen Lu, stretched out her hand and began to touch Ah Yun's body up and down.

The man also brought two dishes to Shen Lu's table, and while eating, he said vaguely: "It's the first time I've seen the animal trainer's pet so cute and cute." ”

Shen Lu smiled bitterly a few times, but he was not too disgusted with their self-familiar character, after all, these two people praised their pets indiscriminately, and they were also very happy.

And Shen Lu firmly believes in one thing: those who like cute things are not bad people.

Gu Daoyuan saw that Shen Lu was not angry, so he introduced: "These are my two students, Zhuo Hong and Shen Qianhua. For the abruptness, please forgive Shen Gongzi. ”

Shen Lu hurriedly didn't care, and then couldn't help but glance at the woman a few times, and said in his heart: "She is also surnamed Shen, is she from the Shen family of the four major families?"

Shen Qianhua was very smart, squinted at Shen Lu, and said disdainfully: "Are you guessing if I am the Shen family? Are you scared? If you're afraid, stay away as soon as possible. People from big families like us have a bad temper, and they like to bully others the most. ”

There was some anger in her words, especially when she mentioned her family, there was an obvious resentment.

Shen Lu is not a fool, of course he can hear the meaning of her words. This tone is obviously deliberately ruining the reputation of the Shen family, and from this point of view, she may not get along with the family.

At this time, Zhuo Hong had just finished eating and was drinking soup. Hearing Shen Qianhua's words, she immediately asked puzzled: "Qianhua, how can you be so yourself? I grew up with you, and I have never seen you bully. ”

Shen Qianhua frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who made you talk too much." ”

"Well, am I saying the wrong thing again? Zhuo Hong scratched his head, and then said no more.

Looking at his not very smart appearance, it is estimated that he didn't notice that Shen Qianhua was angry before.

One of these two people was brainless, and the other was unhappy, so that Shen Lu and Gu Daoyuan didn't know how to chat.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shen Lu said roundly: "No matter how strong the family is, it will serve everyone in the family after all." And when you are strong, you can fully serve yourself. It's good to have a family to help, but just because you don't have a family doesn't mean you can't live. ”

Shen Qianhua's eyes lit up, and she nodded appreciatively: "Okay, I like to listen to this kind of talk! Auntie, I bully people, I have always relied on my true ability, and it has nothing to do with the Shen family or the Shen family! You can see it thoroughly, you can be regarded as the first person surnamed Shen, but it doesn't cause me to hate it." ”

"That'...... That's a real honor. Shen Lu reluctantly echoed a few words.

Gu Daoyuan also appreciated Shen Lu's concept very much, and said, "Shen Gongzi does have the qualifications to say this. Being able to subdue a fierce beast like the Cloud Wandering Beast as a pet will inevitably make a big difference in the future. ”

Shen Lu gasped, and felt a little more admiration and vigilance for this Gu Daoyuan in his heart.

What I admire is that most people along the way can see that Shen Lu is a beast tamer, but none of them can see that Ah Yun is a wandering beast.

What is vigilant is that this kind of master with high eyesight takes the initiative to talk to him, and the purpose is not necessarily simple, but he still has to be more vigilant.

"Cloud Wandering Beast, that big monster with two heads and four wings, and a blade attribute? Shen Qianhua was incredulous, and then looked at the dog in front of her who was touched by herself, how could she not connect these two things.

Shen Lu thought about it, and felt more and more that these people in front of him were not very trustworthy, so he hugged Ah Yun, and then got up and said, "Everyone, I still have to go to the Priesthood Guild, so I will leave." ”

Gu Daoyuan stood up and asked, "Young Master Shen, are you interested in taking me on a trip to the Ancient Saint Academy?"
