Kapitel 30: The Two Great Merchants' Invitation
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Watson had fused the light-type combat aura, he continued to experiment and discovered that the light-type combat aura could not only become a sharp sword that could cut through everything, it could also become a long spear or a huge shield.
When it became a weapon, the blazing light would pierce through everything. Anything that was cut by it, be it wood or stone, would have a very smooth fracture.
Turning into a defensive tool, the light was like indestructible steel, capable of withstanding all attacks.
"The blade condensed from light-attribute combat aura is comparable to lasers in my previous life. An ordinary person would not be able to withstand it at all! Moreover, this kind of blade can be used to cut objects. It's most suitable for chopping wood or grinding off the uneven edges of tables, chairs, and benches."
Watson was a little excited as he thought about it. To him, training to become stronger was not the goal and enjoying the process was paramount.
With his current strength, if he used his full strength, his light-attribute combat aura could be maintained for a few hours, which was enough for him to do a lot of things. Not only did Watson was in awe over the warrior class having the largest number of cultivators in this world. It did not matter whether they were strong or not,at the very least, they must be able to last long.
Just as he was about to continue his experiment, a surprised cry came from outside and interrupted him.
"What happened?"
Two fat men, one on the left and one on the right, followed Edward into the courtyard. They rubbed their eyes in pain, and tears flowed out of the corners of their eyes. Edward was not any better, and he also covered his eyes with his hands, "Watson, What are you doing? What is so eye-piercing?"
"Father, I am training my combat aura."
Watson scratched his head and let the light attribute combat aura in his hand disperse.
Training his combat aura?
Edward was a strong warrior in the past after all. At this moment, he had already returned to his senses and blinked his tearful eyes. "What combat aura is so bright? Could it be..."
"That's right, it's light-attribute combat aura."
"Light-attribute combat aura!"
The two merchants also opened their eyes and sized Watson up.
He had brown hair and a curly hair on the top of his head. His fair little face was tender and his handsome face was in full display. His azure blue eyes were as deep as the ocean, and there was not a hint of the naivety that a youth should have.
The boy was not very tall and stood at only about 1.4 meters, but he was very strong. Smooth muscle lines could be seen on his exposed forearms. He was wearing a small black shirt and shorts that glowed weakly with light. From the perspective of the two merchants who had traveled north and south for many years, those did not look like ordinary clothes.
"Edward, this is your family's eighth child? God bless him. What an amazing child."
The relatively fat middle-aged man walked in front of Watson. His right hand touched his left shoulder and he took a step back before bending his knees and bowing. "I am the leader of the Lucky Business Group, Carter. I am deeply honored to meet the youngest Silver-tier warrior in the history of the kingdom! Thanks to you, I also obtained a large number of Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs."
"The youngest Silver-tier warrior in the history of the Kingdom?" Watson was a little stunned.
"That's right. As far as I know, in the hundreds of years of history of the kingdom, the most talented person was only able to become a Silver-tier warrior at the age of twelve. That person has now become the Holy Dragon Kingdom's sword saint, and is also the only Diamond-tier powerhouse. I feel that your future achievements will not be inferior to that of Lord Sword Saint."
Carter was very polite to Watson, unlike when he was facing Edward.
He initially was doubtful when he heard that Watson had become a Silver-tier warrior at the age of ten, but after seeing the light-attribute combat aura that Watson had mastered, it proved to be so dazzling that his eyes became blurry. At that moment, his doubts instantly dissipated.
"I'm Reynolds from the Travelling Wind Business Group. Watson, I've also wanted to meet you for a very long time."
After Carter, another merchant squeezed over. His eyes were shining as he stared at Watson, as though he was sizing up a treasure trove.
Compared to the prosperous regions of the kingdom, the border was like the countryside. The people living there were a bunch of uncultured farmers. Even if they heard that Watson had become a Silver-tier warrior at such a young age, they would at most be surprised, but they did not understand the concept of a ten-year-old silver-tier warrior at all.
If the news of Watson becoming a Silver-tier warrior at the age of ten was spread, he would definitely be fought over by the great nobles. If it was spread to the King, he might even be given a title like 'The child prodigy that only appears once a century'.
Originally, Carter and Reynolds had already broken off contact with Edward a long time ago. The reason they had come this time was because they had heard about Watson's deeds.
Carter continued, "Watson, are you interested in going to Monte Town? The professionals' union in Monte Town. They can measure your exact strength and use it as a basis to issue your professional token. Only when you receive the token will you be a true professional! As long as you agree, the expenses for this journey will be covered by the Lucky Business Group."
The professionals of the Holy Dragon Kingdom had strict requirements. Only those who went to the professionals' union to take the test and passed the challenge were qualified to become official cultivators. The token that Carter mentioned was a small token that was issued after passing the test. Those who passed the Iron-tier examination would be issued an Iron token. Those who passed the Bronze-tier examination would be given a Bronze token. Those who did not have a token, regardless of whether they called themselves Silver- or Gold-tier warriors, were all treated as self-professed.
Watson's situation was exactly like that. Although everyone said that he had Silver-tier strength, it did not count if he did not pass the union's assessment. If he took eight to ten years to pass the assessment, his title of prodigy would be gone.
"Carter, do you think Watson would care about your little bit of travel money?" Reynolds glanced at him, thinking to himself that the guy was cunning enough to say what he wanted to say in advance.
Turning his head, Reynolds looked at Watson sincerely, "Watson, you'd be better off follow our Travelling Wind Business Group! I'm very familiar with the dean of Monte Town's the Knight Academy. I can recommend you to study there. If your results are excellent, you'll have a chance to leave the border and go to the Holy Dragon Kingdom's Royal Academy to study. That would be a great honor."
Watson looked at the two fatties in front of him and found that each of their looks was fiercer than the other, desperate to swallow him down. He took two steps back and said, "Sorry, I don't have any intention of studying. I think the border is pretty good! I want to build a large-scale breeding farm here and grow wheat. There are still many things I haven't done."
"Raising magical beasts and farming land. At most, you'll be a farmer. How can you compare to going to school and possibly becoming a noble in the future?"
The two merchants sighed. How could they have known that Watson had transmigrated from another world? In his previous life, he had studied for twenty years. How miserable would it be to repeat that again in his new life? All he wanted was to start a side business and earn money to enjoy himself.
"The Royal Academy? What's so good about that place? It's enough that I teach Watson. Isn't that right, my child?" Edward interrupted at this time.
"Shut up! The gods are really unfair. How could they let you give birth to such a talented child?"
"If this child is left in your hands, he'll be destroyed sooner or later."
The two merchants beat their chests and stomped their feet. They had just been wondering why Watson did not seize such a good opportunity and realized it was probably the father's fault. After so many years of not seeing each other, Edward was still the same sloppy man who deserved...a beating.
The mere fact that Edward dared to compare himself with the Royal Academy was a show of how shameless he was.
Just as Carter and Reynolds could not take it anymore and wanted to persuade Watson again, a loud sound suddenly came from outside.
Bang!
Following that, a guard hurriedly ran in. With a pale face, he pointed outside. "Leader, Baron Edward, something terrible happened. When we were carrying the stone slabs, someone accidentally slipped and broke two pieces of the stone slabs."
"Idiots, is this how you work?" Reynolds no longer bothered with Watson. He widened his bell-sized eyes, and his face darkened.
These stone slabs were all high-quality white jade stone slabs. Edward had asked them to build the wall, and the quantity of slabs that they brought over was just right. Each of them was worth ten gold coins. How were they supposed to start work if they were missing two pieces? Are they supposed to go through all that trouble to return to Monte Town and move them again?
Carter was also very angry. The guard was his subordinate who had always been careless, and it was a really big mistake that he made there. Had it not been for the fact that Carter was in front of some outsiders, he would have already laid a hand on the subordinate.
"Uncles, don't be anxious. What exactly is going on? Let's go out and take a look first."
Watson stopped the two merchants who were about to get angry and turned to walk out. In his heart however, he thought, 'Isn't it just two stones? What's the big deal?'
