Chapter 81: Chapter 66 Flower of Humanity

Arriving at the small alley next to the tavern, Rod activated the Eye of the Soul to guard against being followed or eavesdropped on.

Under the vision of the Eye of the Soul, people with stronger soul fluctuations were further away, and only one was near him—a patrolman from the academy, judging by his route.

He was not being monitored.

This was what Rod found strange recently.

Since the sewer incident, he had not detected any sign of being watched.

Neither the Internal Affairs Court nor the Military War Department had come looking for him.

For a while, he felt like an outsider, as if those complex issues had nothing to do with him.

Rod did not know whether this was good or bad, but he had made up his mind that as soon as the invasion ended, whether or not anyone came looking for him, he would go to the Internal Affairs Court to find Lauren and his teacher, Black Bear, and inform them of all he knew, using "amnesia cured" as an excuse.

If necessary, he could also offer his Sherlock Holmes-level investigative and deductive abilities to help capture the perpetrator quickly and settle the matter.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say." Zales said somewhat impatiently, "I still need to go back and have breakfast with the Beast Tamer sister."

Rod took out a silver badge: "Zazz, can you confirm if this thing is genuine?"

Zales took it and looked it over several times:

"Hunter’s License? What are you planning to do? Instead of hanging out on Red Workshop Street, why not try getting into Kashan’s room? Few can match her looks, though she’s a bit flat-chested. You wouldn’t mind that, would you?"

Rod frowned and said, "Answer my question, I’m in a hurry."

"Well, I’ll tell you, this thing is almost impossible to counterfeit. All licenses are actually part of the Hunter Holy Grail. You imprint your spirit into it, and you can sense the presence of the Holy Grail, and it can sense yours too."

"How do I imprint it?"

"Just input your Spiritual Energy; it’s controlled by your spirit, and the badge will record the characteristics of your spirit. That’s the imprint."

"Is there any danger?"

"None."

Rod was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much does a Hunter’s License usually cost?"

"Around five thousand, eight thousand in the academy."

"But I didn’t spend any money."

Rod briefly explained the situation.

After listening, Zales laughed: "I guess that boss might have been targeted by the sheriff, anxious to get rid of this thing. You’re really lucky. Okay, I’m off to eat breakfast."

Rod finally asked, "Is there any danger if the academy finds out?"

"Yes, Kashan will kill you because Group Ten will dock you fifty points."

—

Rod hesitated for a moment but chose to trust Zales’s words.

He held the silver long badge and poured his Spiritual Energy into it.

In an instant, a mysterious feeling emerged; Rod felt as if he had touched a colossal entity, a beast towering from the ground, slumbering in eternal darkness.

The illusion quickly passed, and as Rod looked at the silver badge, the words "Dawn Blade" still glimmered with residual light.

Was it done?

Rod decided to try.

He wore the Goldenworth Medal, tucked the Spirit Gun into his chest, and carried the Soul Substance, Soul Red Crystal, Red Powder, True Silver Bullets, and Thunder Stone as he walked towards the East Gate of the academy.

Along the way, he could see many first-year students performing patrol duties around the academy. They were organized into groups, scattered throughout the academy, serving mainly as alerts, maintaining order, and for training purposes. The real Guardians were dispersed in hidden locations, detectable only by Rod.

At the East Gate, the duty was also handled by patrolling students, but a group teacher was assigned to handle situations beyond the students’ capabilities.

Rod approached the East Gate and explained his purpose to the duty teacher.

The teacher clearly recognized him but still had him light up the Goldenworth Badge before letting him go to the academy’s defense office to register.

At the defense office, Rod presented and activated his Hunter’s License.

The Guard Captain gave him a deep look: "Are you sure you will not accept the academy’s supervision?"

"What would it entail?"

"I will assign someone to follow you, ensure your destination is as legitimate and safe as you registered, and in dangerous times, we would bring you back to the academy ahead of time. You would need to pay for the duty person’s fees separately."

"Is Royal City really that dangerous now?"

"At certain times."

"Would Doomsday believers openly attack us?"

The Guard Captain sneered, "Only if they wish to commit suicide."

"Then I don’t need it."

"But you are just a first-year student."

Rod frowned again and pulled out his special student badge: "I’m a special student."

The Guard Captain said no more, silently processed his pass, and only registered his time of departure.

Stepping out alone through the majestic gate of Goldenworth, Rod took a long breath.

He had taken another step forward at last.

The street outside the gate was particularly spacious; on one side was the dazzling Jinworth Academy, and on the other neatly parked were several no-horse carriages. Continuously, new carriages entered and left, with diverse individuals bustling about.

After watching for a moment, Rod noticed that everyone before getting into a car would take out a silver coin and insert it into a box by the car door.

A self-service Spirit Car?

Well, I admit you’re quite advanced.

Rod walked up to a Spirit Car, pulled out a silver coin, and inserted it into the long snout on the box.
