9: Chapter 9 Leaving Home! The Journey!
Huayang City.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Allen rode the Black-Scaled Horse, following the flow of people as he left Huayang City.
The Black-Scaled Horse, an offspring of a Level 3 Demonic Beast and an ordinary horse, had a gentle temperament but possessed decent stamina.
Before obtaining one's own contracted Demonic Beast.
The Black-Scaled Horse was the best mount for many mercenaries to get around.
"Huayang City."
"I will be back very soon!"
After traveling some distance.
Allen, sitting on the Black-Scaled Horse, turned his head to look back at the town behind him.
After his Transmigration into this world.
Allen had always lived in Huayang City.
Even though he spent most of his time Cultivating at home.
Allen still liked this town very much.
If Allen were just an ordinary person.
He might even have wanted to stay in Huayang City to retire.
However.
Allen was not an ordinary person.
In order to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
He had to leave the city where he had lived for sixteen years.
...
The Dawson Family mansion.
Monroe, Avril, and Yale were gathered together.
Although Allen had not notified anyone when he left home.
Monroe had informed his wife and Yale last night that Allen was preparing to leave.
Under these circumstances.
The moment Allen walked out of the house.
All three of them were actually watching him in secret.
And Allen was also very aware of this.
It was just that.
Both sides tacitly accepted this mode of parting.
"Sigh~"
"This child..."
Avril spoke first, a look of worry on her face.
She knew her son was very strong, a Level 9 Warrior.
But Allen's departure was different from Gray's departure.
When Gray left, it was to study at a magic academy, and he wouldn't encounter any danger.
But Allen was traveling across the continent.
The Yulan Continent was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
No one could guarantee what kind of danger Allen might encounter.
"Avril."
"Do not worry."
"We should learn to trust our son."
"This brat, Allen, will definitely return safely."
"Perhaps."
"When he returns to Huayang City again."
"Our Dawson Family will have its first Saint-level Expert!"
Hearing his wife's words.
Monroe chuckled and comforted Avril.
As the head of the Dawson Family.
Even though Monroe was also very worried about Allen's safety in his heart.
He would not show his worries in front of others.
"That's right."
"Mother, Father is right."
"Big brother is a Prodigy even more impressive than a Genius."
"When big brother returns, he will definitely be even stronger!"
"..."
Just as Monroe finished speaking.
Yale, who was on the side, also chimed in.
From a young age.
The person Yale admired the most was his big brother, Allen.
A 16-year-old Level 9 Warrior.
Even the stories told by bards couldn't tell such an exaggerated tale.
Yet.
Such an outrageous thing actually happened right by his side.
Therefore.
Yale always firmly believed in his heart.
His big brother, Allen, would definitely return to Huayang City as a Saint-level Expert.
"Go, go, go."
"What does a little brat like you know?"
"Instead of flattering your big brother here, you might as well go to the training grounds to Cultivate."
"Yale, don't you forget."
"You will soon be going to the Ernst Institute to study."
"The Ernst Institute is the best magic academy on the entire continent."
"If you don't work hard to Cultivate, you will only end up being the bottom of the class at the academy."
"..."
Seeing Yale also chiming in.
Avril raised her eyebrows and reprimanded Yale.
She and Monroe had three sons in total.
The eldest son, Allen, 16 years old, a Level 9 Fire-style Warrior.
This was the greatest pride of the couple.
The second son, Gray, 10 years old, a Level 3 Lightning-style Mage.
Although Gray couldn't compare to Allen, he was still considered an outstanding talent among his peers.
Only Yale.
Although Yale's talent was decent.
Yale would always find opportunities to slack off when Cultivating.
In the past.
When Allen was still at home, he could barely keep Yale in check.
Now.
Since Allen had already left.
Then she, as his mother, had no choice but to replace Allen and supervise Yale.
"Ah?"
"Still have to Cultivate?"
"..."
...
Within the territory of the Sacred Alliance.
Allen rode the Black-Scaled Horse, slowly walking along the official road.
His destination was clear: the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Red Flame Valley.
According to the information gathered by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
Red Flame Valley was a special zone formed after a volcanic eruption.
Around the valley, natural disasters such as ground fire often occurred.
Even some Fire-attribute Demonic Beasts were unwilling to stay near Red Flame Valley.
But Allen was different.
He wanted to go to Red Flame Valley to verify his guess.
Since treasures like the Earth Flame Fruit could increase his Cultivation speed.
Then, what about the external environment?
Could the external environment also help him Cultivate?
As for whether he would encounter any danger while heading to the Magical Beast Mountain Range?
Red Flame Valley was located in the middle of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The strongest Demonic Beasts there were only Level 7 or Level 8 Demonic Beasts.
With Allen's current strength, there was no need to fear these Demonic Beasts at all.
"Hey!"
"Nobleman kid."
"Hand over your Black-Scaled Horse."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go."
Just then.
Several men dressed as mercenaries suddenly blocked Allen's path.
The bald man leading them looked at the Black-Scaled Horse with a look of greed.
In fact.
When Allen left Huayang City.
The bald man had set his sights on Allen.
Who told Allen to look so childish while wearing luxurious robes, and with no guards following him?
The bald man immediately had some thoughts.
However.
To be safer.
The bald man did not make a move near Huayang City.
It wasn't until they were far away from Huayang City that the bald man dared to bring people to stop Allen.
"Oh?"
"You want my Black-Scaled Horse?"
Looking at the group of people not far in front of him.
A cold killing intent flashed in Allen's eyes.
He had long discovered that he was being watched.
But Allen was not panicked at all.
Those true experts would not do such things as highway robbery.
Looking at the attire of this group of mercenaries, it was obvious they weren't doing very well?
This was enough to prove that their own strength was also not good!
Even if they were strong, they would at most be Level 6 or Level 7!
Level 6, Level 7 Warriors, robbing a Level 9 Warrior?
"Heh!"
As a soft chuckle sounded.
Allen flipped his palm and directly took out his flowing flame longsword.
"Sp... space ring?"
Seeing Allen's action.
A look of panic appeared in the bald man's eyes.
The mercenaries behind him were even so scared that their legs were shaking.
No way around it.
A space ring was often the standard equipment of an expert.
Even if the opponent's strength wasn't high, they would have a terrifying background.
Such a person was not someone they could offend!
"Good eye!"
"However, you might as well go to hell!"
Just as the words fell.
Allen swung the flowing flame longsword without mercy.
These types of highway-robbing mercenaries, he didn't know how many people they had already harmed.
Killing such a scourge, Allen would not have the slightest psychological burden!
